PRELIMINARY JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

DATED , 2008, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

Eagle Bancorp LOGO

Fidelity Logo

On December 2, 2007, Eagle Bancorp, Inc. and Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which Fidelity will be merged into Woodmont Holdings, Inc., a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle, and shares of Fidelity common stock will be converted into shares of Eagle common stock. Shareholders of Fidelity are being asked to approve the merger and the merger agreement at a special meeting of Fidelity shareholders to be held on July 28, 2008. Eagle shareholders are being asked to approve the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger at a special meeting of Eagle shareholders to be held on , 2008.

As a result of the merger, each share of Fidelity common stock, other than those shares as to which an objecting shareholder's right to demand and receive the payment of fair value have been properly exercised, will be converted into shares of Eagle common stock. The initial conversion ratio set forth in the merger agreement was 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock for each share of Fidelity common stock, subject to reduction in accordance with the merger agreement. See "The Merger—Merger Consideration at page for a discussion of factors which could result in a reduction of the conversion ratio. If the merger had been completed as of March 31, 2008, then based on a preliminary, partial and estimated application of the adjustment provisions of the merger agreement, the conversion ratio would have been 0.6867 shares of Eagle common stock for each share of Fidelity common stock. The actual conversion ratio may be higher or lower than the estimated adjusted conversion ratio as of March 31, 2008. Based on the number of shares of Fidelity common stock outstanding as of , 2008, and assuming no options to acquire Fidelity common stock are exercised, Eagle will issue approximately 3,871,296 shares of Eagle common stock, or approximately 28% of the outstanding shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger, based on the initial conversion ratio of 0.9202, and approximately 2,888,958 shares of Eagle common stock, or approximately 23% of the outstanding shares of Eagle common stock following the merger, based on the estimated adjusted conversion ratio of 0.6867 as of March 31, 2008. Each outstanding and unexercised option to acquire Fidelity common stock will be assumed by Eagle and converted into an option to acquire Eagle common stock. The price at which each converted option will be exercisable will be the current exercise price divided by the conversion ratio, rounded to the next higher whole cent. No fractional shares of Eagle common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Outstanding shares of Eagle common stock will not be changed as a result of the merger. Eagle and Fidelity are sending you this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to ask you to vote on these matters.

The board of directors of Fidelity has unanimously approved the merger and the merger agreement and recommends that Fidelity shareholders vote "FOR" the merger and the merger agreement. The board of directors of Eagle has unanimously approved the merger and the merger agreement and recommends that the shareholders of Eagle vote "FOR" the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger. The merger is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and to the receipt of the shareholder approvals being sought at the special meetings of Eagle and Fidelity shareholders, as well as the satisfaction of other conditions set forth in the merger agreement.

Please carefully review this joint proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, as it provides detailed information about the merger and the proposals being presented at the meetings, and contains important information about Fidelity and Eagle. In particular, you should review the information under "Risk Factors" at page .

Directors and executive officers of Fidelity owning or controlling approximately 31.4% of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock as of the record date for the Fidelity special meeting have entered into agreements in which they have agreed to vote all of such shares in favor of the proposal to approve the merger and the merger agreement. Directors of Eagle and its wholly owned subsidiary, EagleBank, owning or controlling approximately 26.1% of the outstanding shares of Eagle common stock

as of the record date for the Eagle special meeting have indicated their intention to vote in favor of the proposal approving the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger.

Eagle common stock is listed under the symbol "EGBN" on The NASDAQ Capital Market. On November 30, 2007, the last trading day before the public announcement of the merger agreement, Eagle's closing price was $12.51 per share, and on , 2008, the last trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Eagle's closing price was $ per share. You should obtain current market quotations for Eagle common stock. There is no public market for Fidelity common stock.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. The merger cannot be completed unless Eagle's shareholders approve the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger and Fidelity shareholders approve the merger and the merger agreement. Whether or not you plan to attend your special meeting, please complete, date, sign and return promptly your proxy card in the enclosed postage pre-paid envelope. Abstentions and failures to vote, including by failing to instruct your broker how to vote, will have the same effect as votes against the proposal to approve the merger and the merger agreement at the Fidelity meeting.

We are very enthusiastic about the merger and thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Ronald D. Paul
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
Eagle Bancorp, Inc.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETINGS AND THE MERGER

Q: Why am I receiving this joint proxy statement/prospectus?

A: You are receiving this joint proxy statement/prospectus because you are a shareholder of either Eagle or Fidelity as of the respective record dates for the Eagle and Fidelity special meetings of shareholders. This joint proxy statement/prospectus is being used by the boards of directors of Eagle and Fidelity to solicit your proxy for use at the special meetings. This joint proxy statement/prospectus also serves as the prospectus for shares of Eagle common stock to be issued in exchange for shares of Fidelity common stock in connection with the merger.

The Merger and the Special Meetings of Shareholders

Q: What matters will be considered at the Fidelity special meeting of shareholders?

A: At the special meeting of shareholders of Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation, Fidelity shareholders will be asked to vote on: (1) the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Eagle Bancorp, Inc., Woodmont Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle, Fidelity and Fidelity & Trust Bank, under which Fidelity will merge with and into Woodmont, with Woodmont surviving the merger, and (2) a proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the agreement and plan of merger and the merger contemplated thereby. The Agreement and Plan of Merger and the merger contemplated thereby are referred to in this joint proxy statement/prospectus as the "merger agreement" and "merger," respectively. The merger agreement is included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix A.

Q: What matters will be considered at the Eagle special meeting of shareholders?

A: At the special meeting of shareholders of Eagle, Eagle shareholders will be asked to vote on: (1) the issuance of up to a maximum of 4,338,363 shares of Eagle common stock to Fidelity shareholders in connection with the merger; and (2) a proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the issuance of shares. As Fidelity will be merged into Woodmont, and not into Eagle, Eagle shareholders are not required to vote on or approve the merger. However, because more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Eagle common stock are proposed to be issued in connection with the merger, Eagle shareholders are required to approve the issuance of shares to Fidelity shareholders under the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market.

Q: What shareholder vote is necessary?

A: At the Fidelity meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock is required to approve the merger agreement and the merger, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented at the special meeting is required to approve the proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Directors and executive officers of Fidelity and F&T Bank owning or controlling approximately 31.4% of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock as of the record date for the Fidelity special meeting have entered into agreements with Eagle under which they have agreed to vote their shares for approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

At the Eagle special meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is necessary to approve the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock to Fidelity shareholders in connection with the merger, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented at the special meeting is required to approve the proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Directors of Eagle and EagleBank owning or controlling approximately 26.1% of the outstanding shares of Eagle common stock as of the record date for the Eagle special meeting have

indicated their intention to vote such shares for approval of the proposed issuance of shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger.

Q: What vote does the Fidelity board of directors recommend?

A: Fidelity's board of directors unanimously recommends that Fidelity shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the merger agreement and the merger and "FOR" the proposal to approve, if necessary, an adjournment of the special meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger agreement and the merger.

Q: What vote does the Eagle board of directors recommend?

A: Eagle's board of directors unanimously recommends that Eagle shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock to Fidelity shareholders in connection with the merger and "FOR" the proposal to approve, if necessary, an adjournment of the special meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the issuance of shares.

Q: What do I need to do now?

A: After you have carefully read this joint proxy statement/prospectus, indicate on your proxy card how you want to vote with respect to the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, if you are a Fidelity shareholder, or the issuance of shares in connection with the merger, if you are an Eagle shareholder, and the proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to a later date to permit the further solicitation of proxies. Complete, sign, date and mail the proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented and voted at the special meeting. The proxy card should be mailed in accordance with the instructions provided thereon. Do not send your Fidelity stock certificates with your proxy card.

Q. How do I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A: You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted by revoking your proxy in any of the following three ways:

•: by delivering a written notice to the secretary of the company in which you currently own shares stating that you would like to revoke your proxy;
•: by submitting another duly executed proxy with a later date; or
•: by attending your special meeting and voting in person at the special meeting. Your attendance at the special meeting will not by itself revoke your proxy. If you hold your shares in "street name," you will need additional documentation from your bank or broker in order to vote in person at the special meeting.

Q: If my shares are held in "street name" by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

A: No. If you do not provide your broker with instructions on how to vote your shares held in "street name," your broker will not be permitted to vote your shares on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger at the Fidelity meeting, or the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock at the Eagle special meeting, without your instructions. You should therefore instruct your broker how to vote your shares. Your failure to instruct your broker to vote your shares of Fidelity common stock will be the equivalent of voting against the approval of the merger agreement and the merger. Your failure to instruct your broker to vote your shares of Eagle common stock will have no effect on either proposal being presented at the Eagle special meeting, unless it prevents the presence of a quorum at the Eagle special meeting.

Q: What if I abstain from voting?

A: If a Fidelity shareholder abstains from voting it will have the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement and the merger but will have no effect on the proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. An abstention by an Eagle shareholder will have no effect on either proposal being presented.

Q: Am I entitled to dissenters' rights or similar rights?

A: Yes, if you are a Fidelity shareholder. Under Maryland law, Fidelity shareholders may exercise their rights as objecting shareholders to demand the payment of the fair value of their shares of Fidelity common stock in connection with the merger. These rights are occasionally referred to as "dissenters' rights" in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The provisions of Maryland law governing dissenters' rights are complex, and you should study them carefully if you wish to exercise these rights. Multiple steps must be taken to properly exercise and perfect such rights. A copy of Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") is included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix D.

If you are an Eagle shareholder, you are not entitled to dissenters' rights in connection with the merger.

For a more complete description of dissenters' rights, please refer to the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled "Dissenters' Rights" in the Summary and the section "The Merger—Dissenters' Rights" at page .

Q: When do you expect to complete the merger?

A: We presently expect to complete the merger in the third quarter, or early in the fourth quarter, of 2008. However, we cannot assure you when or if the merger will occur. Shareholders of Fidelity holding at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock must first approve the merger agreement and the merger at the Fidelity special meeting, Eagle shareholders must approve the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock to holders of Fidelity common stock in connection with the merger, we must obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, and other conditions specified in the merger agreement must be satisfied.

Q: Is consummation of the merger subject to any conditions?

A: Yes. In addition to the shareholder approvals being sought at the special meetings, consummation of the merger requires the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of other conditions specified in the merger agreement. See "The Merger—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger" and "The Merger—Conditions to the Completion of the Merger" at pages and of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, respectively.

Merger Consideration

Q: What will Fidelity shareholders receive in the merger?

A: As a result of the merger, each share of Fidelity common stock (other than shares with respect to which dissenters' rights have been properly exercised and perfected) will be converted into the right to receive 0.9202 of a share of Eagle common stock, subject to reduction as provided in the merger agreement. Please refer to The Merger—Merger Consideration—Potential Reduction of the Conversion Ratio" at page , for a discussion of factors which may result in a reduction in the number of shares of Eagle common stock into which each share of Fidelity common stock may be converted.

The merger will not result in any change to the outstanding shares of Eagle common stock.

Q: What are the tax consequences of the merger to me?

A: We expect that for United States federal income tax purposes, in general, the merger will not be a taxable event to those Fidelity shareholders who receive solely Eagle common stock in exchange for their Fidelity common stock. However, Fidelity shareholders generally will recognize gain or loss with respect to

cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Eagle common stock that they would otherwise be entitled to receive. See "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences" at page .

Eagle and Fidelity will have no obligation to complete the merger until they have received an opinion of counsel to the effect that the merger will be a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code and that the merger will have certain United States federal income tax results. However, this opinion will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, which could take a different view of the transaction.

We urge you to consult your personal tax advisor to gain a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you. Tax matters are very complicated, and in many cases, the tax consequences of the merger will depend on your particular facts and circumstances.

Q: When should I send in my stock certificates?

A: Do not send in your certificates representing shares of Fidelity common stock with your proxy card. After the merger is completed, holders of Fidelity common stock will be sent a letter of transmittal and instructions regarding on how to exchange Fidelity common stock certificates for shares of Eagle common stock.

Q: Is there other information about Eagle I should consider that is not included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus?

A: Yes. Much of the business and financial information about Eagle that may be important to you is not included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Instead, that information is "incorporated by reference" to documents separately filed by Eagle with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This means that Eagle may satisfy its disclosure obligations to you by referring you to one or more documents separately filed by it with the SEC. See "Where You Can Find More Information" at page for a list of documents that Eagle has incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus and for instructions on how to obtain copies of those documents. The documents are available to you without charge.

Q: What will happen to my Fidelity stock options?

A: Each option to acquire shares of Fidelity common stock under Fidelity's stock option plans that is outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted into an option to purchase shares of Eagle common stock. The number of shares of Eagle common stock that may be acquired pursuant to Fidelity options will be the number of shares of Fidelity common stock underlying such option multiplied by the conversion ratio. The exercise price of the option will be ratably adjusted in accordance with such conversion. See "The Merger—Treatment of Fidelity Options" at page .

The Merger (See page )

Eagle, its wholly owned subsidiary Woodmont Holdings, Inc., Fidelity and F&T Bank have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger that provides for the merger of Fidelity with Woodmont, with Woodmont continuing as the surviving corporation. The Agreement and Plan of Merger is attached as Appendix A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, promptly following the merger of Fidelity with and into Woodmont, F&T Bank will merge with and into EagleBank, with EagleBank continuing as the surviving bank. Woodmont will then be merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation.

Upon effectiveness of the merger, Robert P. Pincus and one other member of the Fidelity board of directors, to be selected by Fidelity, will be appointed to the Eagle board of directors. Upon the effectiveness of the merger of F&T Bank and EagleBank, Mr. Pincus and three other members of the F&T Bank board of directors designated by F&T Bank will be appointed to the EagleBank board of directors. Mr. Pincus will serve as Vice Chairman of both boards of directors. In the event that the merger is effective prior to Eagle's 2008 annual meeting of shareholders at which directors are elected, but too late for inclusion of the F&T designated directors in Eagle's proxy materials for the meeting, Eagle will appoint the designated directors to the Eagle and EagleBank boards of directors following the annual meeting. You should read the Agreement and Plan of Merger because it is the legal document that governs the merger. In this joint proxy statement/prospectus, we sometimes refer to the Agreement and Plan of Merger as the merger agreement.

The merger of Fidelity with and into Woodmont will occur shortly after all of the conditions to its completion have been satisfied or waived. Currently, we anticipate that the merger will occur in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2008. However, we cannot assure you when or if the merger will occur.

What Fidelity Shareholders Will Receive in the Merger (See page )

The merger agreement provides that at the effective time of the merger each outstanding share of Fidelity common stock, other than shares with respect to which dissenters' rights have properly been exercised and perfected, will be converted into the right to receive 0.9202 of a share of Eagle common stock, subject to reduction in accordance with the merger agreement. If the merger had been completed as of March 31, 2008, then based on a preliminary, partial and estimated application of the adjustment provisions of the merger agreement, the conversion ratio would have been 0.6867 shares of Eagle common stock for each share of Fidelity common stock. The actual conversion ratio may be higher or lower than the estimated adjusted conversion ratio as of March 31, 2008. See "The Merger—Merger Consideration—Potential Reduction of the Conversion Ratio" at page .

Eagle will not issue any fractional shares of Eagle common stock in the merger. Fidelity shareholders will receive cash for any fractional shares of Eagle common stock owed to them in an amount, without interest, based on the average closing price of Eagle common stock during a five day period ending immediately before the date which is two business days prior to the effective time of the merger.

On , 2008, the most recent practicable trading date prior to the filing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the closing price of Eagle common stock was $ per share. No assurance can be given that the current market price of Eagle common stock will be equal to the market price of Eagle common stock on the date that stock is received by a Fidelity shareholder or at any other time. The market price of Eagle common stock when received by a Fidelity shareholder may be higher or lower than the current market price of Eagle common stock.

Fidelity's Board of Directors Unanimously Recommends Shareholder Approval of the Merger (See page )

Fidelity's board of directors unanimously determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Fidelity and its shareholders and unanimously adopted the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Fidelity's board of directors unanimously recommends that Fidelity shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the merger and the merger agreement.

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock is required to approve the merger and the merger agreement.

As of the record date, the directors and executive officers of Fidelity and F&T Bank owned and were entitled to vote 1,319,179 shares of Fidelity common stock, which represents approximately 31.4% of the

outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock. These persons have entered into agreements with Eagle under which they have agreed to vote all of their shares in favor of the merger agreement.

As of the record date, directors of Eagle and EagleBank owned 9,000 shares of Fidelity common stock, all of which were acquired from Fidelity in its 2005 private offering. These directors have indicated that they intend to vote "FOR" approval of the merger and the merger agreement.

Fidelity's Reasons for the Merger (See page )

In reaching its determination to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Fidelity's board consulted with Fidelity's management and its financial and legal advisors, and considered a number of factors, including.

The positive factors included, but were not limited to:

•: the consideration to be paid to Fidelity's shareholders relative to the market value, book value and earnings per share of Fidelity common stock;
•: the greater liquidity of Eagle common stock compared to Fidelity common stock;
•: the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including the stock consideration, the agreement of certain directors and executive officers of Fidelity and F&T Bank to vote in favor of the merger agreement, the limitations on the interim business operations of Fidelity, the conditions to consummation of the merger, the circumstances under which the merger agreement could be terminated and the advice of Fidelity's financial and legal advisors;
•: information regarding the business, operations, earnings, financial condition, management and prospects of Fidelity and Eagle;
•: the belief that the terms of the merger are fair to and in the best interest of the Fidelity shareholders;
•: that the current consideration to be received in the merger would deliver more value to Fidelity shareholders than the value that could be expected if Fidelity were to continue as an independent company;
•: the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Eagle and Fidelity before and after giving effect to the merger based on due diligence and publicly available earnings estimates for Eagle;
•: the strategic fit of Eagle and Fidelity, including the belief that the merger has the potential to enhance shareholder value through growth opportunities and synergies resulting from combining the companies' complementary strengths and assets;
•: the combined capital strength resulting from the merger will provide expanded lending opportunities to meet the needs of the resulting institution's market;
•: the expansion of the branch network resulting from the merger will provide an expanded market for the delivery of banking products and services;
•: the combination of human and technological resources resulting from the merger will enhance the delivery of services to our customers;
•: the importance of maintaining local access to decision makers who know and can deliver to our customers' business needs is satisfied by the merger;
•: the opinion of Milestone Advisors, LLC that the consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to Fidelity's shareholders.

The Fidelity board of directors also considered certain potential adverse consequences of the proposed merger that included but were not limited to:

•: the challenges of combining the businesses, assets and workforces of the two companies;
•: the risk of not achieving expected operating efficiencies or growth;
•: the possibility that the consideration payable to shareholders could decrease if the conversion ratio is reduced or the price of Eagle common stock declines prior to the closing date (see "The Merger—Merger Consideration—Potential Reduction of the Conversion Ratio at page );
•: the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters while working to implement the merger;
•: the risk that the merger will not be consummated.

Eagle's Reasons for the Merger (See page )

In reaching its decision to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Eagle board of directors, in consultation with management and its financial and legal advisors, considered numerous factors. In determining that the merger was in the best interest of Eagle and its shareholders, the board considered that the merger will, in a cost effective manner, substantially increase EagleBank's assets and capital base, allowing it to provide customers with larger loans, and a wider variety of loan, deposit and other products, and expand its human and financial resources; the addition of Fidelity's six offices will provide EagleBank with greater presence in the District of Columbia and Montgomery County, and provide it with the opportunity to enter the northern Virginia market for the first time; provide the combined company with opportunities for cross selling of products and for substantial cost savings through reduction of administrative and overhead expenses, as well as possible branch consolidation in the future, resulting in a transaction which should produce increased income and benefits for Eagle shareholders. The board of directors also considered the risks related to the proposed merger, including those related to F&T Mortgage.

Opinion of Eagle's Financial Advisor (See page )

Sandler O'Neill and Partners, L.P. has served as financial advisor to Eagle in connection with the merger and has given its opinion to Eagle's board of directors that the merger was fair to Eagle shareholders from a financial point of view.

Eagle has paid Sandler O'Neill a fee of $100,000 and has agreed to pay Sandler O'Neill a transaction fee of 0.50% of the aggregate purchase price (subject to a minimum fee of $250,000), which will be due and payable upon the closing of the merger and against which the amount already paid will be credited.

Fidelity Officers and Directors Have Some Interests in the Merger That Are Different than or in Addition to Their Interests as Shareholders (See page )

In addition to their interests as shareholders, certain directors, executive officers or employees of Fidelity may have interests in the merger that are different from or in addition to your interests. These interests relate to or arise from, among other things:

•: the retention of certain directors of Fidelity and F&T Bank as directors of Eagle and/or EagleBank and the directors' receipt of compensation for their service;
•: Robert P. Pincus, a director of Fidelity and Chairman of F&T Bank, has entered into an agreement with EagleBank providing for compensation for his service as Vice Chairman of the Eagle and EagleBank boards of directors;
•: Robert P. Pincus is the Chairman of Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC, the parent company of Milestone Advisors, LLC. While he is not receiving any compensation related to this transaction, he does receive compensation for other transactions from Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC. Mr. Pincus' relationship with Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC was fully disclosed to the Fidelity board of directors prior to receiving the opinion of Milestone Advisors, LLC;
•: Barry C. Watkins, President of F&T Bank, has entered into an employment agreement with EagleBank pursuant to which he will become President of EagleBank's District of Columbia/Northern Virginia region;

•: the potential receipt by certain executive officers and employees of Fidelity of change in control, severance or retention payments; and
•: as of March 31, 2008, an aggregate of 504,770 shares of Fidelity common stock were subject to outstanding options. Upon the merger, all such options will be fully vested and exercisable. Unless such options are exercised prior to the effective time, they will be converted into options to acquire Eagle common stock at an exercise price equal to the current exercise price divided by the conversion ratio at the effective time of the merger.

Please see the section entitled "Security Ownership of Directors, Executive Officers and Certain Beneficial Owners of Fidelity" on page for more information regarding options held by specific individuals.

Fidelity's board of directors was aware of these interests and took them into account in its decision to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. For information concerning these interests, please see the discussion under the caption "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger."

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (See page )

The merger has been structured as a "reorganization" for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, holders of shares of Fidelity common stock will generally not recognize any gain or loss for

United States federal income tax purposes on the exchange of their shares of Fidelity common stock for Eagle common stock in the merger, except for any gain or (in certain cases) loss recognized in connection with any cash received as part of the merger consideration for fractional share interests. The companies themselves will not recognize gain or loss as a result of the merger. It is a condition to the obligations of Fidelity and Eagle to complete the merger that they receive a legal opinion from Eagle's counsel that the merger will be a reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes.

The United States federal income tax consequences described above may not apply to all holders of Fidelity common stock, including certain holders specifically referred to at page . Your tax consequences will depend on your own situation. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences of the merger to you.

Dissenters' Rights (See page )

Fidelity shareholders are entitled to exercise dissenters' rights with respect to the merger and, if the merger is completed and they perfect their dissenters' rights, to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares of Fidelity common stock. In general, to preserve their dissenters' rights, Fidelity shareholders who wish to exercise these rights must:

•: deliver a notice of intent to demand payment for their shares to Fidelity at or before the time the vote is taken at the Fidelity special meeting;
•: not vote their shares for approval of the merger and the merger agreement;
•: continuously hold their shares of Fidelity stock from the date they make the notice of intent to demand payment through the closing of the merger; and
•: comply with the other procedures set forth in Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL.

The text of Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL governing dissenters' rights is included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix D. Failure to comply with the procedures described in Appendix D will result in the loss of dissenters' rights under the MGCL. We urge you to carefully read the text of Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL governing dissenters' rights.

The Merger Will Be Accounted for under the Purchase Method of Accounting (See page )

The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, as such term is used under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Completion of the Merger Is Subject to Certain Conditions (See page )

Completion of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the merger and the merger agreement by Fidelity shareholders, approval of the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock to Fidelity shareholders in connection with the merger by Eagle shareholders and the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. Certain conditions to the merger may be waived by Eagle or Fidelity, as applicable.

We May Not Complete the Merger Without All Required Regulatory Approvals (See page )

The merger requires the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation. We have made filings and notifications for these purposes. We expect to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals, although we cannot be certain if or when we will obtain them.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (See page ).

Eagle, Woodmont, Fidelity and F&T Bank can mutually agree to abandon the merger and terminate the merger agreement at any time prior to the time the merger is completed, even after shareholder approval. Also, either Fidelity and F&T Bank or Eagle and Woodmont can decide, without the consent of the other, to abandon the merger in a number of situations, including if:

•: the merger has not been completed by November 30, 2008, or such later date to which this date has been extended in writing by all the parties to the merger agreement; provided, however, that this right is not available to any party whose failure to observe any covenant or agreement in the merger agreement results in the merger not being completed, and Fidelity and F&T Bank cannot terminate the merger agreement under this provision if either of them engages in activities with respect to other acquisition proposals in violation of the terms of the merger agreement;
•: the other parties materially breach a material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in the merger agreement and, except for specified breaches for which no cure period is available, the breach is not, or cannot be, cured within 30 days of delivery of written notice of breach;
•: by Fidelity and F&T Bank, on 45 days written notice, if the aggregate amount of charges, charge-offs, provisions for loan losses, valuation adjustments on loans held for sale, and litigation reserves (collectively for purposes of this subsection, "charges") impacting Eagle after the date of the merger agreement through the date of notice, exceeds 15% of Eagle's adjusted book value as of September 30, 2007, subject to the opportunity to cure within the 45 day notice period; or by Eagle on 45 days written notice, if the aggregate amount of charges impacting Fidelity or F&T Bank after the date of the merger agreement through the date of notice, exceeds 15% of Fidelity's book value as of September 30, 2007, subject to the opportunity to cure within the 45 day notice period;
•: if the increase in reserves for the resolution of identified litigation of Fidelity or its subsidiaries equals or exceeds $7,500,000, or a third party law firm determines that it cannot determine the appropriate reserves on a reasonable basis, or cannot make such determination within 45 days;
•: a law, judgment, injunction, order or decree of a court or governmental body prohibits the merger;
•: any governmental or regulatory approval required for consummation of the merger has been denied by final, non-appealable order, or any such denial shall not have been appealed within the time available;
•: the necessary shareholder approvals are not obtained at the special meetings;
•: if any of the conditions precedent to the obligation of such party to consummate the merger cannot be satisfied or fulfilled by November 30, 2008, or such later date to which this date has been extended in writing by all the parties to the merger agreement, provided that the terminating party is not in breach of a material representation, warranty or covenant of the merger agreement at the time of termination; and
•: if there is asserted against Fidelity or any Fidelity subsidiary any claim or claims relating to any issue arising out of the operations of F&T Mortgage, that individually or in the aggregate are material in nature or material in amount, but for which a reserve cannot be determined in accordance with the provisions of the merger agreement, then such claim or claims will be deemed to have a material adverse affect on Fidelity, resulting in Eagle's right to terminate the merger agreement.

The merger agreement will be deemed to be terminated if:

•: Fidelity's board of directors approves entering into an agreement for, or Fidelity or F&T Bank consummates, an unsolicited acquisition proposal.

•: Fidelity's board of directors recommends an unsolicited acquisition proposal to the shareholders of Fidelity, fails to recommend the merger, withdraws or modifies in a manner adverse to Eagle, or fails upon request of Eagle to reconfirm its recommendation of the merger agreement to Fidelity's shareholders, while an unrejected unsolicited acquisition proposal exists.
•: Fidelity's board of directors fails to call and hold a shareholder meeting or breaches the covenant restricting Fidelity's ability to solicit or negotiate with a third party concerning an alternative transaction.

Additionally, if Fidelity's board makes a good faith determination that the fiduciary duty of the directors under Maryland law requires that the board of directors consider, negotiate, communicate, or provide information (collectively "communications") with respect to an unsolicited acquisition proposal, because such proposal is more favorable from a financial point of view to the shareholders of Fidelity than the merger, which determination is made after receiving the advice of counsel to Fidelity regarding the requirements of the fiduciary duty of the directors under Maryland law, and the advice of Fidelity's financial advisor as to whether the proposal is more favorable from a financial point of view to its shareholders than the merger, resulting in Fidelity engaging in communications with respect to an unsolicited acquisition proposal, and such communications extend for 60 days from the date on which Fidelity provided notice of such proposal to Eagle, and Fidelity has not rejected such unsolicited acquisition proposal by the end of the 60 day period, then Eagle shall have the right to terminate the agreement immediately upon notice to Fidelity.

Fidelity Must Pay Eagle a Termination Fee under Certain Circumstances (See page )

Fidelity must pay Eagle a termination fee of $2 million within three days of termination of the merger agreement in the following circumstances:

•

If the merger agreement is deemed to be terminated because:

•: Fidelity's board of directors approves entering into an agreement for, or Fidelity or F&T Bank consummates, an unsolicited acquisition proposal;
•: Fidelity's board of directors recommends an unsolicited acquisition proposal to Fidelity's shareholders, or fails to recommend the merger to Fidelity's shareholders or withdraws or modifies in a manner adverse to Eagle, or fails upon request of Eagle to reconfirm its recommendation of the merger to Fidelity's shareholders, while an unrejected unsolicited acquisition proposal exists;
•: Fidelity's board of directors fails to call and hold a shareholder meeting or breaches the covenant restricting Fidelity's ability to solicit or negotiate with a third party concerning an alternative transaction.

•

If Eagle terminates the merger agreement because:

•: Fidelity has not rejected an unsolicited acquisition proposal with respect to which it is entitled to engage in communications under the provisions of the merger agreement by the end of the 60 day period following notice to Eagle of such proposal;
•: of a material breach by Fidelity of its covenants in the merger agreement prohibiting the solicitation of alternative transactions.

•

If the merger agreement is terminated because the merger has not been completed by November 30, 2008, or such later date to which this date has been extended in writing by all the parties to the merger agreement, or because the approval of Fidelity shareholders is not obtained at the Fidelity shareholder meeting, and in either case, prior to such termination, Fidelity breached its

covenants in the merger agreement prohibiting the solicitation of alternative transactions, whether or not such breach resulted in the failure to obtain shareholder approval.

•: If the merger agreement is terminated because of failure to complete the merger by November 30, 2008, or such later date to which this date has been extended in writing by all the parties to the merger agreement; or because shareholder approval is not obtained at the Fidelity special meeting and, prior to such termination, an acquisition proposal with respect to Fidelity has been publicly proposed by any third party, or such acquisition proposal or intention has otherwise become widely known, and within 12 months of termination (i) Fidelity or F&T Bank merges with or into, or is acquired by any third party; (ii) any third party acquires more than 50% of the consolidated total assets of Fidelity and its subsidiaries; (iii) any third party acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock; (iv) Fidelity adopts or implements a plan of liquidation, recapitalization or share repurchase relating to more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock or an extraordinary dividend relating to more than 50% of such outstanding shares or 50% of the assets of Fidelity; or (v) Fidelity enters into a definitive agreement providing for such actions.

Fidelity agreed to this termination fee arrangement in order to induce Eagle to enter into the merger agreement. This arrangement could have the effect of discouraging other companies from trying to acquire Fidelity.

Effect of Merger on Rights of Fidelity Shareholders (See page )

The rights of Fidelity shareholders are governed by Maryland law, as well as Fidelity's articles of incorporation and bylaws. After completion of the merger, the rights of the former Fidelity shareholders receiving Eagle common stock in the merger will continue to be governed by Maryland law, and will be governed by Eagle's articles of incorporation and bylaws. There are substantive and procedural differences between Fidelity's and Eagle's articles of incorporation and bylaws that will affect the rights of Fidelity shareholders.

Market Price Information

The following table sets forth the closing sale price per share of Eagle common stock, as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and Fidelity common stock, based upon the last recorded trade, as of November 30, 2007 (the last full trading day before the public announcement of the merger agreement) and as of , 2008, the most recent practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

		Eagle Common Stock			Fidelity Common Stock			Pro Forma Equivalent for Fidelity Common Stock(1)
November 30, 2007		$	12.51		$	11.50		$	11.51
, 2008		$			$	11.50		$

(1): Pro forma equivalent for Fidelity common stock determined by multiplying the price of Eagle common stock by the conversion ratio of 0.9202. The actual conversion ratio may be lower. Based on the estimated adjusted conversion ratio as of March 31, 2008 of 0.6867, the pro forma equivalent for Fidelity common stock would be $8.59.

The market price of Eagle common stock will fluctuate prior to the merger. You should obtain current market quotations for Eagle common stock.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the following factors should be considered carefully when evaluating this transaction and the proposal to approve the merger agreement at the Fidelity special meeting and the issuance of shares at the Eagle special meeting. You should read these risk factors together with the risk factors contained in Eagle's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and any changes to those risk factors included in Eagle's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or other documents filed with the SEC after the date of the Annual Report.

The conversion ratio is subject to change as a result of adverse changes affecting Fidelity through the effective date of the merger. Additionally, because the market price of Eagle common stock will fluctuate between now and the time Fidelity shareholders receive their shares of Eagle common stock, Fidelity shareholders cannot be sure of the number, or the value, of the shares of Eagle common stock they will receive in the merger.

Upon completion of the merger, each share of Fidelity common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock per share of Fidelity common stock, subject to reduction pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. The adjustment to the conversion ratio is automatic, and the circumstances under which Fidelity can terminate the merger agreement as a result of adverse changes to the conversion ratio are extremely limited. Please refer to "The Merger—Merger Consideration—Potential Reduction of the Conversion Ratio" at page for a discussion of the factors which may result in a reduction in the conversion ratio. If the adverse changes to Fidelity are of a sufficient magnitude, then either Fidelity or Eagle may have the right to terminate the merger. If the merger were effective as of March 31, 2008, we estimate the conversion ratio would be approximately 0.6867 shares of Eagle common stock for each share of Fidelity common stock. See "The Merger—Termination, Termination Payments" at page .

Because Eagle is issuing its shares at a fixed exchange ratio, subject to reduction in accordance with the merger agreement, any change in the price of Eagle common stock prior to completion of the merger will affect the value of the shares of Eagle common stock that Fidelity shareholders will receive upon completion of the merger. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in our respective businesses, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond our control.

Accordingly, at the time of the Fidelity special meeting, Fidelity shareholders will not be able to determine the exact number of, or the value of, shares of Eagle common stock, they may receive upon completion of the merger.

The market price of the shares of Eagle common stock may be affected by factors different from those affecting the shares of Fidelity common stock.

Upon completion of the merger, holders of Fidelity common stock will become holders of Eagle common stock. Some of Eagle's current businesses and markets differ from those of Fidelity and, accordingly, the results of operations of Eagle after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the results of operations of Fidelity.

We may fail to realize the cost savings we estimate for the merger.

The success of the merger will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the estimated cost savings and revenue enhancements from combining the businesses of Eagle and Fidelity. While we believe, as of the

date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, that these cost savings and revenue enhancement estimates are achievable, it is possible that the potential cost savings and revenue enhancements could turn out to be more difficult to achieve than we anticipated. Our estimates also depend on our ability to combine the businesses of Eagle and Fidelity in a manner that permits those cost savings and revenue enhancements to be realized. Our ability to realize increases in revenue will depend, in part, on out ability to retain customers and employees, and to capitalize on existing relationships for the provision of additional products and services. If our estimates turn out to be incorrect or we are not able to successfully combine our two companies, the anticipated cost savings and increased revenues may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

The costs and effects related to the terminated mortgage operations of F&T Mortgage may be greater or more expensive than we anticipated, which could have an adverse impact on the results of operations, shareholder returns and financial condition of Eagle following the merger, and on the market price for Eagle common stock.

Until September 2007, F&T Mortgage, a wholly owned subsidiary of F&T Bank, originated mortgages for sale into the secondary market. While many of these mortgages were conforming mortgages sold to quasi-governmental mortgage agencies, or guaranteed under Federal programs, others were nonconforming or "exotic" loans, including no documentation and low documentation loans, negative amortization and subprime loans. Under the terms of the agreements under which substantially all of these loans were sold, F&T Mortgage, and in certain cases, F&T Bank, is required to repurchase loans which are paid off early, default early, or which breached the representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. While we expect that any request to repurchase loans for early payment default or early payoff will have been presented prior to the effective time of the merger, or will be time-barred, there is no express limit on the time frame in which a representations and warranties claim can be made. Although F&T Mortgage has had extremely limited requests to repurchase loans for representations and warranties breaches, it is not possible to predict with accuracy the extent to which it may receive such requests in the future. Although Fidelity and Eagle believe that there are significant arguments that F&T Bank, and EagleBank following the merger, would not be legally obligated to effect most such repurchases on behalf of F&T Mortgage, these arguments may not be successful, and the expense and effort of defending against, or settling litigation relating to, these requests could be much greater than anticipated, which would adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition of the combined company.

Combining our two companies may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than we expect, or could result in the loss of customers.

Eagle and Fidelity have operated, and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. As with any merger of banking institutions, there also may be disruptions that cause us to lose customers or cause customers to withdraw their deposits from our banks. Although we do not plan to close any branches immediately upon consummation of the merger, we may consolidate branches in the future, including as leases expire. Certain customers' branches may be consolidated with other branches in the market area resulting in new office locations and new banking associates serving such customers. Customers may not readily accept changes to their banking arrangements after the merger and may obtain banking services elsewhere, which could adversely affect the results of operations of the combined company.

Certain officers and directors of Fidelity have potential conflicts of interest in the merger.

Fidelity shareholders should be aware of potential conflicts of interest and the benefits available to Fidelity officers and directors when considering Fidelity's board of directors' recommendation to approve the merger. Certain officers, directors and employees of Fidelity will become officers, directors or employees of Eagle and/or EagleBank and will be subject to employment or other service agreements with EagleBank after completion of the merger.

(1): The numbers in the table above reflect the discontinued operations of F&T Mortgage for all periods presented.
(2): Discontinued operations relate to Fidelity & Trust Mortgage, Inc., the mortgage origination subsidiary, which sold some of its assets and discontinued mortgage origination activities on August 20, 2007.
(3): F&T Mortgage in conducting its business as a mortgage banking company did not compile daily and/or monthly balances, and as a result, we will not be able to provide you with certain averages and ratios for the fiscal year 2003. These unavailable averages and ratios for the year ended December 31, 2003 will be indicated in the Selected Financial Data by "N/A."

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

The following table shows certain historical per share data for Eagle and Fidelity for the periods indicated, and pro forma combined information for Eagle and pro forma equivalent per share data for Fidelity, assuming the effectiveness of the merger and the estimated adjusted conversion ratio if the merger had been completed at March 31, 2008 of 0.6867 ("comparative pro forma information"). In presenting the comparative pro forma information for the periods shown, we assumed that we had been combined throughout those periods. The merger will be accounted for under the "purchase" method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of the company not surviving a merger are, as of the completion date of the merger, recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of the surviving company. Financial statements of the surviving company issued after consummation of the merger reflect such values and are not restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of the company not surviving. The operating results of Fidelity will be reflected in Eagle's consolidated financial statements from and after the date the merger is consummated.

We expect that we will incur reorganization and restructuring expenses as a result of combining our companies. While we hope that the merger also will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses and the opportunity to earn more revenue, the pro forma combined information does not reflect these expenses or benefits and does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is completed and after completion of thorough analyses to determine the fair values of Fidelity's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the merger is completed. In addition, estimates of merger-related charges are subject to final decisions related to combining the companies. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of Fidelity will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Additionally, changes to Fidelity's shareholders' equity, including net income, and changes in the market value of Eagle's common stock through the date the merger is completed, will also change the amount of goodwill recorded. As a result, the final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments used in preparing the pro forma information presented herein. The pro forma information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results of the companies that would have achieved had the merger been effective before the periods presented, or the results of operations which the combined company may expect to achieve after the merger.

The information in the following table is based on, and should be read together with, the historical financial information that we have included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or presented in Eagle's prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which are incorporated into this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference. See "Where You Can Find More Information" at page . The pro forma combined income per share have been computed based on the number of shares of Eagle common stock adjusted for the additional shares to be issued in connection with the merger. The pro forma equivalent per share data for Fidelity was obtained by multiplying the pro forma combined amounts by the estimated adjusted exchange ratio of 0.6867 shares of Eagle common stock for each share of Fidelity common stock. The resulting products were rounded to the nearest cent. The actual exchange ratio could

be lower than the initial conversation ratio and higher or lower than the estimated adjusted conversion ratio, but not in excess of 0.9202.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Eagle and Fidelity make forward-looking statements in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and their public documents within the meaning of and pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A forward-looking statement encompasses any estimate, prediction, opinion or statement of belief in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the underlying management assumptions. These "forward-looking statements" can be identified by words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends" and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements appear in the discussions of matters such as the benefits of the merger between Fidelity and Eagle, including future financial and operating results and cost saving enhancements to revenue that may be realized from the merger, and Eagle's and Fidelity's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus that are not historical facts. These statements are based upon the current reasonable expectations and assessments of the respective managements of Eagle and Fidelity and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

In addition to factors that we have previously disclosed in Eagle's reports filed with the SEC and those that we discuss elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

•: the businesses of Eagle and Fidelity may not be combined successfully, or such combination, including the conversion of Fidelity's systems, controls and procedures, may take longer, be more difficult, time-consuming or costly to accomplish than expected;
•: the expected cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;
•: customer relationship losses, increases in operating costs and business disruption following the merger may be greater than expected;
•: adverse effects on relationships with employees may be greater than expected;
•: the regulatory approvals required for the merger may not be obtained on the expected terms or on the anticipated schedule;
•: adverse governmental or regulatory policies may be enacted;
•: the interest rate environment may compress margins and adversely affect net interest income;
•: adverse effects may be caused by continued diversification of assets and adverse changes to credit quality; competition from other financial services companies in Eagle's and Fidelity's markets could adversely affect operations;
•: our concentrations of loans in commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans, and loans to borrowers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, may adversely affect our earnings and results of operations;
•: the effect and costs of Fidelity's legacy mortgage brokerage operations conducted through F&T Mortgage may be greater than anticipated;
•: an economic slowdown could adversely affect credit quality and loan originations; and
•: social and political conditions such as war, political unrest and terrorism or natural disasters could have unpredictable negative effects on our businesses and the economy.

The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of the applicable document and, except as required by applicable law, Eagle and Fidelity assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. You should consider these risks and uncertainties in evaluating forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on these statements.

The special meeting of Fidelity shareholders is scheduled to be held as follows:

Date: July 28, 2008
Time: 10:00 a.m., local time
Place: 1725 Eye Street NW, Washington, DC, 20006

Purpose of the Special Meeting

At the Fidelity special meeting, Fidelity shareholders will be asked to:

•: Approve the merger and the merger agreement, pursuant to which Fidelity will merge with and into Woodmont, with Woodmont surviving the merger, and each outstanding share of Fidelity common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock, subject to reduction in accordance with the merger agreement. See "The Merger—Merger Consideration—Potential Reduction of the Conversion Ratio" at page .
•: Approve a proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies if and to the extent there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger agreement and the merger.
•: Transact any other business that may properly come before the special meeting or any postponements or adjournments of the Fidelity special meeting.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares

Fidelity's board of directors has fixed the close of business on June 23, 2008 as the record date for the Fidelity special meeting. Only shareholders of record of Fidelity common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Fidelity special meeting. Each holder of record of Fidelity common stock at the close of business on the Fidelity record date is entitled to one vote for each share of Fidelity common stock then held on each matter voted on by shareholders at the special meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were 4,207,016 shares of Fidelity common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

Vote Required to Approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger

The approval of the merger agreement and the merger requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock as of the record date.

Vote Required to Approve the Proposal, If Necessary, to Adjourn the Special Meeting

to approve the merger agreement and the merger requires a majority vote of the shares present or represented at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

Quorum; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Fidelity special meeting. If a share is represented for any purpose at the Fidelity special meeting, it is deemed to be present for the transaction of all business. Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Fidelity's bylaws, the special meeting may be adjourned by a majority of the shares present or represented at the special meeting.

If you hold your shares of Fidelity common stock in "street name" through a broker, bank or other nominee, generally the nominee may only vote your Fidelity common stock in accordance with your instructions. However, if your nominee has not timely received your instructions, such nominee may vote on matters for which it has discretionary voting authority. Brokers will not have discretionary voting authority to vote on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger. If a nominee cannot vote on a matter because it does not have discretionary voting authority, this is a "broker non-vote" with respect to that matter. Broker shares that are not voted on any matter at the Fidelity special meeting will, however, be counted as shares present or represented at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Fidelity special meeting, it is expected that the special meeting will be adjourned or postponed to permit further solicitation of proxies.

For purposes of the vote with respect to the merger agreement and the merger, a failure to vote, a vote to abstain and a broker non-vote will each have the same legal effect under Maryland law as a vote against approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

Voting by Directors and Executive Officers

As of the record date, Fidelity's and F&T Bank's directors and executive officers beneficially owned 1,319,179 outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock, or approximately 31.4% of the shares entitled to vote at the Fidelity special meeting. The directors and executive officers, in their capacity as shareholders, have entered into support agreements with Eagle under which they have agreed, among other things, to vote their respective shares for approval of the merger agreement and the merger at the meeting. The directors and executive officers were not paid any additional consideration in connection with the support agreements. The support agreements terminate upon any termination of the merger agreement. See "The Merger—Support Agreement" at page .

Voting and Revocation of Proxies

After carefully reading and considering the information presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, you should complete, date, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope so that your shares are represented at the Fidelity special meeting. You can also vote at the special meeting, but we encourage you to submit your proxy now in any event.

All shares of Fidelity common stock represented by each properly executed and valid proxy received before the special meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions given on the proxy. If a Fidelity shareholder executes a proxy card without giving instructions, the shares of Fidelity common stock represented by that proxy card will be voted "FOR" approval of the merger agreement and the merger and "FOR" the approval of the proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies. Fidelity's board of directors has not proposed any other matters to be voted on at the Fidelity special meeting, and only matters proposed specified in the notice of meeting may be conducted at the special meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the special meeting, which

would generally be limited to matters related to the conduct of the meeting, the persons named on the proxy card will vote the shares represented by all properly executed proxies on those matters in their discretion.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy is voted by one of the following means:

•: by delivering a written notice to the secretary of Fidelity stating that you would like to revoke your proxy;
•: by submitting another duly executed proxy with a later date; or
•: by attending the special meeting and voting in person at the special meeting (your attendance at the special meeting will not by itself revoke your proxy). If you hold your shares in "street name," you will need additional documentation from your bank or broker to vote your shares in person at the meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies and Expenses

The accompanying proxy for the Fidelity special meeting is being solicited by Fidelity's board of directors, and Fidelity will pay for the entire cost of the solicitation, other than certain costs of preparing and filing this joint proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC, which are being borne by Eagle. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Fidelity common stock held of record by those persons, and Fidelity may reimburse the brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable transaction and clerical expenses. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other means of communication by Fidelity's directors, officers and regular employees. These people will receive no additional compensation for these services, but will be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by them in connection with these services.

Fidelity has engaged Laurel Hill Advisory Group to solicit proxies for a fee of $4,500.00 and reasonable out of pocket expenses, to assist it in obtaining proxies from shareholders on a timely basis. The cost of any proxy solicitation firm engaged by Fidelity will be paid solely by Fidelity.

Board Recommendation

Fidelity's board of directors unanimously determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are in the best interests of Fidelity and its shareholders. Accordingly, Fidelity's board of directors unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, and unanimously recommends that Fidelity's shareholders vote "FOR" the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger and "FOR" the proposal, if necessary, to approve an adjournment of the special meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

The proposed merger is of great importance to the shareholders of Fidelity. You are urged to read and carefully consider the information presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and to complete, date, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope.

Dissenters' Rights

Under Maryland law, Fidelity shareholders may exercise dissenters' rights in connection with the merger. The provisions of Maryland law governing dissenters' rights are complex and you should review them carefully. Multiple steps must be taken to properly exercise and perfect these rights. A copy of Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL (the provisions of the MGCL governing dissenters' rights) is included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix D.

For a more complete description of dissenters' rights, please refer to the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus entitled "The Merger—Dissenters' Rights" at page .

•: Approve the issuance of up to a maximum of 4,338,363 shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the proposed merger pursuant to which Fidelity will be merged with and into Woodmont, with Woodmont surviving the merger, and each outstanding share of Fidelity common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock, subject to reduction in accordance with the merger agreement. See "The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration" at page . The number of shares to be issued includes shares of Eagle common stock which may be issued upon the exercise of options to acquire Fidelity common stock. Eagle shareholders are not required to vote on or approve the merger. However, because more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Eagle common stock are proposed to be issued to Fidelity shareholders in connection with the merger, approval of the issuance of shares by Eagle shareholders is required under the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market.
•: Approve a proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies if and to the extent there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the issuance of shares in connection with the merger.
•: Transact any other business that may properly come before the special meeting or any postponements or adjournments of the Eagle special meeting.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares

Eagle's board of directors has fixed the close of business on , 2008 as the record date for the Eagle special meeting. Only shareholders of record of Eagle common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Eagle special meeting. Each holder of record of Eagle common stock at the close of business on the Eagle record date is entitled to one vote for each share of Eagle common stock then held on each matter voted on by shareholders at the special meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were [9,839,164] shares of Eagle common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

Vote Required to Approve the Share Issuance

The approval of the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock to Fidelity shareholders in connection with the merger requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal.

Vote Required to Approve the Proposal, If Necessary, to Adjourn the Special Meeting

The approval of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting if and to the extent necessary to permit the further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the Eagle special meeting to approve the share issuance requires a majority vote of the shares present or represented at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

Quorum; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Eagle common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Eagle special meeting. If a share is represented for any purpose at the Eagle special meeting, it is deemed to be present for the transaction of all business. Abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Eagle's bylaws, the special meeting may be adjourned by a majority of the shares present or represented at the special meeting.

If you hold your shares of Eagle common stock in "street name" through a broker, bank or other nominee, generally the nominee may only vote your Eagle common stock in accordance with your instructions. However, if your nominee has not timely received your instructions, such nominee may vote on matters for which it has discretionary voting authority. Brokers will not have discretionary voting authority to vote on the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger agreement. If a nominee cannot vote on a matter because it does not have discretionary voting authority, this is a "broker non-vote" with respect to that matter. Broker shares that are not voted on any matter at the Eagle special meeting will, however, be counted as shares present or represented at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Eagle special meeting, it is expected that the special meeting will be adjourned or postponed to permit further solicitation of proxies.

Voting by Directors and Executive Officers

As of the record date, Eagle's and EagleBank's directors beneficially owned approximately 2,562,743 outstanding shares of Eagle common stock, or approximately 26.1% of the shares entitled to vote at the Eagle special meeting. The directors of Eagle and EagleBank have indicated their intention to vote in favor of the share issuance.

Voting and Revocation of Proxies

After carefully reading and considering the information presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, you should complete, date, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope so that your shares are represented at the Eagle special meeting. You can also vote at the special meeting, but we encourage you to submit your proxy now in any event.

All shares of Eagle common stock represented by each properly executed and valid proxy received before the special meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions given on the proxy. If an Eagle shareholder executes a proxy card without giving instructions, the shares of Eagle common stock represented by that proxy card will be voted "FOR" approval of the issuance of shares in connection with the merger and "FOR" the approval of the proposal, if necessary, to adjourn the special meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies. Eagle's board of directors is not aware of any other matters to be voted on at the Eagle special meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the special meeting, the persons named on the proxy card will vote the shares represented by all properly executed proxies on those matters in their discretion.

•: by submitting another duly executed proxy with a later date; or
•: by attending the special meeting and voting in person at the special meeting (your attendance at the special meeting will not by itself revoke your proxy). If you hold your shares in "street name," you will need additional documentation from your bank or broker to vote your shares in person at the meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies and Expenses

The accompanying proxy for the Eagle special meeting is being solicited by Eagle board of directors, and Eagle will pay for the entire cost of the solicitation. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Eagle common stock held of record by those persons, and Eagle may reimburse the brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable transaction and clerical expenses. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other means of communication by Eagle's directors, officers and regular employees. These people will receive no additional compensation for these services, but will be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by them in connection with these services.

Eagle may engage a proxy solicitation firm to assist it in obtaining proxies from shareholders on a timely basis. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Eagle has not engaged a firm for the purpose of soliciting proxies. The cost of any proxy solicitation firm engaged by Eagle will be paid solely by Eagle.

Accordingly, Eagle's board of directors unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, and unanimously recommends that Eagle's shareholders vote "FOR" the issuance of shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger and "FOR" the proposal, if necessary, to approve an adjournment of the special meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

The proposed merger is of great importance to the shareholders of Eagle. You are urged to read and carefully consider the information presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and to complete, date, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope.

Dissenters' Rights

Under Maryland law, Eagle's shareholders do not have the right to object to the merger or exercise dissenters' rights in connection with the merger.

THE MERGER

Set forth on the following pages is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the merger agreement. This summary may not contain all the information about the merger agreement that is important to you. We encourage you to read the merger agreement, which is included as Appendix A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, in its entirety.

Structure of the Merger

The merger agreement provides for Eagle's acquisition of Fidelity through a merger of Fidelity with and into Woodmont, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle formed for the purpose of effecting the merger, with Woodmont being the surviving corporation in the merger. As a result of the merger, each share of Fidelity common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock, subject to reduction as described below under "Merger Consideration." Promptly following the effectiveness of the merger of Fidelity with and into Woodmont, F&T Bank will be merged with and into EagleBank, with EagleBank being the surviving bank, and Woodmont will then be merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle being the surviving corporation. After completion of the mergers, Eagle will be the direct holder of all of the outstanding shares of EagleBank, which will have the assets and liabilities of the combined banks.

The articles of incorporation of Eagle will be the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation after completion of the mergers, and the Eagle bylaws will be the bylaws of the surviving corporation.

Upon completion of merger of Fidelity with and into Woodmont, Robert P. Pincus and one other member of Fidelity's current board of directors selected by Fidelity will be appointed to the board of directors of Eagle. Upon completion of the merger, Ronald D. Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle, and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EagleBank, will also become Chairman of Eagle, and Mr. Pincus will become Vice Chairman of Eagle. In the event that the merger is effective prior to Eagle's 2008 annual meeting of shareholders, but not in time for the inclusion of the Fidelity designated directors as nominees for election as directors in Eagle's proxy materials, Eagle will appoint the Fidelity designated directors to newly created vacancies on the Eagle board of directors following the annual meeting. Upon completion of the merger of F&T Bank with and into EagleBank, Mr. Pincus and three other members of F&T Bank's current board of directors designated by F&T Bank will be appointed to the board of directors of EagleBank. Mr. Paul will continue to serve as Chairman of EagleBank, and Mr. Pincus will become Vice Chairman of EagleBank. See "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger" at page .

The executive officers of Eagle and EagleBank following the mergers will be the those persons who are currently the executive officers of Eagle and EagleBank, except that Barry C. Watkins, President of F&T Bank, will become President of EagleBank's District of Columbia and Virginia regions, and Michael T. Flynn, Chief Operating Officer of Eagle and President of the District of Columbia region of EagleBank, will serve only as Chief Operating Officer of Eagle. Certain of the other executive officers of Fidelity and F&T Bank are expected to join EagleBank, as discussed under "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger" at page .

Merger Consideration

At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Fidelity common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.9202 of a share of Eagle common stock, subject to reduction as described below, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share of Eagle common stock to which a shareholder would be entitled.

Potential Reduction of the Conversion Ratio. If, at the effective time of the merger, the pro forma consolidated book value of Fidelity as of September 30, 2007, adjusted for the items set forth below, would

be below $7.50 per share, then the conversion ratio will be reduced to the number of shares determined by dividing Fidelity's September 30, 2007 pro forma book value per share, as agreed upon for purposes of the merger agreement by $8.15, calculated to four decimal places.

Fidelity's September 30, 2007 pro forma book value per share shall be determined by adjusting Fidelity's adjusted September 30, 2007 book value of $31,552,620 by the net amount of following items only:

(i): operating losses of F&T Mortgage;
(ii): expenses incurred by Fidelity or any Fidelity subsidiary in connection with the winding down of F&T Mortgage (including but not limited to lease and contract termination fees, severance obligations, salary and benefit expense, legal, accounting and consulting fees);
(iii): deficiencies on inter-company payments or liabilities due from F&T Mortgage to F&T Bank;
(iv): losses on the sale of loans held for sale;
(v): net charge-offs;
(vi): increases to the allowance for loan losses necessary to conform to Eagle's policies for such items, to the extent such increases are in the aggregate in excess of $750,000;
(vii): increases to valuation adjustments for loans held for sale as may be determined pursuant to the merger agreement;
(viii): reserves for litigation, litigation expenses and amounts paid or payable upon judgment or in settlement relating to litigation as may be determined pursuant to the merger agreement;
(ix): any other agreed upon adjustments to Fidelity's book value; and
(x): dividing such adjusted book value by the number of shares of Fidelity Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2007.

An adjustment relating to items (ii) through (viii) will be made, however, only to the extent such the aggregate of such amounts exceeds the amount reserved or provided for such items at September 30, 2007, and any adjustment shall be made only by the amount by which the net amount of the adjustments in (i) through (viii) above exceeds $400,000. In no event will the adjustments result in an increase in the conversion ratio. The procedures for adjustment of the conversion ratio do not increase Fidelity's book value above the September 30, 2007 agreed upon levels for earnings, option exercises or other accretions.

There can be no assurance that the conversion ratio will not adjust downward. If the conversion ratio is adjusted, the number of shares of Eagle common stock which holders of Fidelity common stock will receive will be lower than 0.9202. If the merger were completed as of March 31, 2008, we preliminarily estimate that the conversion ratio would be 0.6867 shares of Eagle common stock for each share of Fidelity common stock. In making this estimate, we considered changes in items (i) though (v) above which are reflected in or derivable from Fidelity's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008. We did not include any adjustment pursuant to any other items as such amounts would either adjust for the same item more than once, or are not readily determinable at this time. The actual conversion ratio may be higher or lower than the estimated adjusted conversion ratio as of March 31, 2008.

The Conversion Ratio will be proportionately adjusted for dividends on Eagle common stock payable in shares of Eagle common stock or any combination or subdivision of the Eagle common stock the record date for which is after the date of the merger agreement but prior to the completion of the merger.

No Cash Option; Fluctuating Value of Transaction. Holders of Fidelity common stock do not have the option to elect to receive cash in the merger. Other than those holders of Fidelity common stock who elect to exercise, perfect and fully implement their dissenter's rights, all holders of Fidelity common stock will

receive shares of Eagle common stock as a result of the merger. Eagle will not issue any fractional shares of Eagle common stock in the merger. Fidelity shareholders will receive cash for any fractional shares of Eagle common stock owed to them in an amount, without interest, based on the average closing price of Eagle common stock during a five day period ending immediately before the date which is two business days prior to the effective time of the merger.

The value of shares of Eagle common stock will fluctuate based on factors relating to Eagle's performance, market conditions and perceptions and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Eagle and Fidelity. There can be no assurance as to the value of the shares of Eagle common stock which will be issued to holders of Fidelity common stock upon completion of the merger. The value of the Eagle shares into which Fidelity common stock is converted may be higher or lower than the $11.51 value of 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock as of the date of the merger agreement, may be higher or lower than the $ value of 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock as of , 2008 and may be higher or lower than the $ value of 0.6867 shares of Eagle common stock as of , 2008.

Surrender of Certificates Representing Fidelity Common Stock

Upon effectiveness of the merger, certificates which formerly represented shares of Fidelity common stock will represent the number of shares of Eagle common stock into which such shares have been converted, except that until exchanged for Eagle common stock, the holders of Fidelity common stock certificates will not be entitled to receive payment of dividends or other distributions or payments on Eagle common stock.

Eagle has appointed its transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, as the exchange agent with respect to the merger. Within 10 days following effectiveness of the merger, the exchange agent will mail to each holder of Fidelity common stock a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in the exchange of shares of Fidelity common stock for shares of Eagle common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares, including procedures, including the posting of a bond, to be followed in the event that certificates representing Fidelity common stock have been lost or destroyed. Holders of Fidelity common stock should not deliver their certificates until they have received transmittal forms, and should not return certificates with the enclosed form of proxy.

Upon surrender of certificates representing shares of Fidelity common stock, the exchange agent will issue uncertificated, or book entry, shares, registered in the name of the former Fidelity shareholder, representing the number of whole shares of Eagle common stock into which such holder's shares have been converted. Each former Fidelity shareholder will receive a statement evidencing the issuance of uncertificated shares of Eagle common stock for the benefit of such shareholder, together with a check representing payment, without interest, of cash in lieu of any fractional share of Eagle common stock to which such holder may be entitled, and, if appropriate, a check representing payment, without interest, of any dividend or other cash payment or distribution on such holder's shares of Eagle common stock which may have been withheld as a result of such holder's failure to earlier surrender his or her Fidelity certificates for exchange. Each shareholder will have the ability to request a physical share certificate representing his/her shares of Eagle common stock at any time after he/she completes the exchange of his/her Fidelity certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any shares of Eagle common stock which are required to carry a legend, such as shares of Eagle common stock to be issued to affiliates of Fidelity, will be represented by physical share certificates.

If any holder of Fidelity common stock has not surrendered his or her certificates for exchange within twelve months of the effectiveness of the merger, the shares to which he or she would be entitled may, at Eagle's option, be sold and the proceeds of sale, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares and previously accrued dividends, held in a non-interest bearing account for the former shareholder's benefit. In such event, the shareholder will only have the right to receive any shares of Eagle common stock which have not been sold, if any, and to collect, without interest, and subject to applicable laws of escheat, the

cash in the account representing the net proceeds of the sale, cash in lieu and accumulated dividends, upon proper surrender of his or her Fidelity certificates.

Treatment of Fidelity Options

As of the effective time of the merger, each outstanding option to acquire a share of Fidelity common stock under Fidelity's stock option plans will be converted into an option to purchase shares of Eagle common stock. Eagle will assume each Fidelity option in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Fidelity stock option plan pursuant to which such option was issued, the agreement evidencing the grant of such option, and any other agreement between Fidelity and the holder of the option, except that

•: from and after the effective time of the merger, each Fidelity option will be exercisable only for Eagle common stock;
•: the number of shares of Eagle common stock that may be acquired pursuant to such Fidelity option will be the number of shares of Fidelity common stock subject to such option multiplied by the conversion ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share; and
•: the exercise price per share will be equal to the exercise price per share of Fidelity common stock divided by the conversion ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent.

Eagle has agreed to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 registering shares of Eagle common stock issuable upon exercise of the Fidelity options that are assumed by Eagle under the merger agreement.

Support Agreement

As a condition to the obligation of Eagle to consummate the merger, each of the directors and executive officers of Fidelity and F&T Bank has entered into an agreement with respect to the voting of shares of Fidelity common stock which they own or control (the "Support Agreement"). Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the directors and executive officers of Fidelity and F&T Bank have agreed, in their capacities as shareholders, that they will vote an aggregate of 1,319,179 shares of Fidelity common stock which they possess the power to vote or direct the voting of, or approximately 31.4% of the total number of shares of Fidelity common stock outstanding, in favor of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Under the Support Agreement, the directors and executive officers also agreed not to tender into any tender or exchange offer, or sell, transfer, hypothecate, grant a security interest in, or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of his or her shares of Fidelity common stock, or any options to acquire Fidelity common stock, not to exercise any option to purchase Fidelity common stock prior to the effective time, unless it would otherwise expire, and, except with the prior written consent of Eagle, not to purchase or submit a bid to purchase or an offer to sell any shares of Eagle common stock during the period during which the value of Eagle common stock for purposes of establishing the cash in lieu rate is determined. The officers and directors also agreed, in their capacity as such, that they will not authorize, direct, encourage or induce any person to solicit any alternative acquisition proposal in violation of Fidelity's covenant not to solicit such proposals.

Non-Competition Agreements

As a condition of the obligation of Eagle to consummate the merger, each director of Fidelity and F&T Bank, other than Mr. Pincus and Mr. Watkins, has entered into an agreement restricting such director's ability to engage in activities in competition with Eagle and EagleBank following the effective time of the merger. The directors did not receive any separate or additional compensation for entering into the non-compete agreements.

Under the non-compete agreements, each director has agreed that for a period of one year following the effectiveness of the merger, he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, engage or (i) participate in the

ownership, management, operation, control or financing of; or (ii) provide any service, advice or assistance regarding the management, operation, formation or acquisition of; (iii) have any financial interest in, whether as organizer, director, advisory director, officer, employee, consultant, partner, contractor, shareholder (other than as a holder of less than 5% of the capital stock of a financial institution); of any federal or state commercial bank, credit union, industrial loan bank, savings institution, thrift or non-bank commercial or commercial real estate lending business, or any person or entity seeking to acquire or form such a institution or company (a "financial institution"), competitive with Eagle or EagleBank's business as it exists on the date of the non-compete agreements, which has a branch or loan production office located in the Maryland counties of Montgomery, Prince Georges, Frederick, Howard, and the District of Columbia, and the Virginia counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun and Prince William and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park, including but not limited to a financial institution engaged in, or which controls any entity engaged in, retail banking services, commercial banking services, consumer savings accounts, deposit production, commercial loan production or commercial or commercial real estate lending services in the designated area. Such restrictions do not apply to any relationship preexisting the non-compete agreements, and do not apply to advisory relationships with a financial institution which the director may have solely in the capacity as legal counsel, investment banker or independent public accountant or to activities that are not in the designated area.

The non-compete agreements also contain specified exclusions for Robert Tyson, Robert Fiallo and Christopher Miller, directors of Fidelity and/or F&T Bank who are currently engaged in certain mortgage brokerage business activities set forth in the agreements, and provide that such activities may continue to the extent that they are not with customers of Eagle, EagleBank, Fidelity or F&T Bank, and that brokered commercial and commercial real estate loans originated by Messrs. Tyson and Fiallo must be first offered to Eagle and EagleBank. The non-compete agreements provide that Mr. Miller may change his employment during the term of the agreement to work for a financial institution which has an office within the area covered by the agreement. The non-compete agreements also provide that Jay Weinstein, a director of F&T Bank, will not in any way be restricted from the sale of his financial advisor business to another financial institution or affiliation of his business with another financial institution in the area covered by the non-compete agreement.

Additionally, for a period of two years following the effectiveness of the merger, the Fidelity and F&T Bank directors may not directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of such director or any other person or entity, accept banking business from, solicit the banking business of, or induce to discontinue, terminate or reduce the extent of their relationship with Eagle or EagleBank, any person or entity who was a customer of Fidelity, F&T Bank, Eagle or EagleBank; or initiate any offer of employment to or hiring process with respect to, or in any manner solicit the services, or hire any person who was an employee of Fidelity or F&T Bank. Further, the Fidelity and F&T Bank directors have agreed that for a period of two years following the effectiveness of the merger, they shall not disclose or use, or authorize any person or entity to disclose or use, any confidential or nonpublic information relating to Eagle, EagleBank, Fidelity or F&T Bank of which such director is aware or to which such director has access, as a result of service on the board of directors or as an officer of Eagle, EagleBank, Fidelity or F&T Bank.

Effectiveness of the Merger

The closing of the merger will take place within 30 days of the receipt of all required approvals and authorizations of government and regulatory authorities, the expiration of all applicable waiting periods, and the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the merger. The merger will become effective upon the later of the filing of Articles of Merger with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation or the date indicated in the Articles of Merger. It is expected that the merger will become effective on the same day of the closing, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties to the merger agreement.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

General. The following discusses the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, applicable Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations and court decisions as in effect as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, all of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion assumes that Fidelity shareholders hold their Fidelity common stock, and will hold their Eagle common stock, as capital assets. This discussion does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be important to a Fidelity shareholder in light of that shareholder's particular circumstances or to a Fidelity shareholder subject to special rules, such as:

•: a person who is not a citizen or resident of the United States;
•: a financial institution or insurance company;
•: a tax-exempt organization;
•: a dealer or broker in securities;
•: a person who holds Fidelity common stock as part of a hedge, appreciated financial position, straddle, conversion or other integrated transaction;
•: a partnership or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•: a person liable for the alternative minimum tax; or
•: a person who acquired Fidelity common stock pursuant to the exercise of compensatory options or otherwise as compensation.

This discussion is not a complete analysis or description of all potential federal income tax consequences to the merger. It does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, individual circumstances. In addition, it does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, shareholders are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their particular tax consequences.

Tax Opinion. Eagle and Fidelity have received an opinion of Kennedy & Baris, LLP, which has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part, to the effect that the merger will be a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and will have the tax consequences described below. The opinion of Kennedy & Baris, LLP relies on (1) representations made by Eagle and Fidelity, including those contained in certificates of officers of Eagle and Fidelity, and (2) certain assumptions, including an assumption regarding the completion of the merger in the manner contemplated by the merger agreement. In addition, the opinion assumes the absence of changes in existing facts or in law between the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the closing date of the merger. If any of those representations, covenants or assumptions is inaccurate the tax consequences of the merger could differ from those described herein.

The following is a description of the expected federal income tax consequences of the merger to Eagle, Fidelity and the shareholders of Fidelity:

•: no gain or loss will be recognized by Eagle, Woodmont, EagleBank, Fidelity or F&T Bank upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;
•: the basis of the assets of F&T Bank in the hands of Eagle, Woodmont or EagleBank will be the same as the basis of such assets in the hands of Fidelity or F&T Bank immediately prior to the effective time;

•: the holding period of the assets of F&T Bank transferred to Eagle, Woodmont and EagleBank will include the period during which such assets were held by Fidelity or F&T Bank prior to the effective time;
•: no gain or loss will be recognized by the shareholders of Fidelity upon the receipt of Eagle common stock in exchange for their shares of Fidelity common stock (except in respect of cash received in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of Eagle common stock);
•: the basis of the Eagle common stock received by a Fidelity shareholder who exchanges Fidelity common stock for Eagle common stock will be the same as the basis of the Fidelity common stock surrendered in exchange therefore (subject to adjustments required as the result of receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Eagle common stock);
•: cash received by a Fidelity shareholder in lieu of a fractional share of Eagle common stock will be treated as having been received as a distribution in redemption of the fractional share interest of Eagle common stock which he would otherwise be entitled to receive, subject to the provisions and limitations of Section 302 of the Code;
•: the holding period of the Eagle common stock received by the shareholders of Fidelity will include the holding period of the shares of Fidelity common stock surrendered in exchange, provided that such shares of Eagle common stock are held as a capital asset as of the effective time.

The opinion of Kennedy & Baris, LLP is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and does not preclude the IRS or the courts from disagreeing with the opinion of Kennedy & Baris, LLP or otherwise adopting a contrary position. In the event of such disagreement, there is no assurance that the IRS would not prevail in a judicial or administrative proceeding. Eagle and Fidelity do not intend to obtain a ruling from the IRS on the tax consequences of the merger.

As a result of the complexity of the tax laws and the impact of each shareholder's particular circumstances upon the tax consequences of the merger, the information set forth above regarding the federal income tax consequences of the merger is not intended to be individualized tax or legal advice to the shareholders of Fidelity. Each shareholder should consult his or her own tax or financial counsel as to the specific federal, state, and local tax consequences of the merger, if any, to such shareholder.

For federal income tax purposes, holders of Eagle common stock will not recognize gain or loss as a result of the merger.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with cash payments for shares of Fidelity common stock pursuant to the merger. Backup withholding at a rate of 28% may apply to cash paid to a Fidelity shareholder, unless such shareholder furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that he or she is not subject to backup withholding on the substitute Form W-9 included in the letter of transmittal to be delivered to the shareholder following the completion of the merger. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowable as a refund or credit against a holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided required information is furnished to the IRS. The IRS may impose a penalty upon any taxpayer that fails to provide the correct taxpayer identification number.

Reporting Requirements. Holders of Fidelity common stock receiving Eagle common stock as a result of the merger will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger and will be required to file with their United States federal income tax return for the year in which the merger takes place a statement setting forth facts relating to the merger. The facts to be disclosed by such holder include the holder's basis in the shares of Fidelity common stock transferred in the merger, and the fair market value of the Eagle common stock and the amount of cash received in the merger.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of Fidelity board of directors that Fidelity shareholders vote in favor of the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, Fidelity shareholders should be aware that Fidelity's directors and officers may have interests in the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, that may be different from, or in addition to, their interests as shareholders of Fidelity. Fidelity's board of directors was aware of these interests and took them into account in its decision to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger.

Options to Acquire Fidelity Common Stock. As of the record date for the Fidelity special meeting, Fidelity's and F&T Bank's directors and executive officers owned, in the aggregate, options to purchase 507,070 shares of Fidelity common stock under Fidelity's equity compensation plans. Each issued and outstanding option to purchase shares of Fidelity common stock as of the effective time which has not previously vested, will become vested in full and exercisable at the effective time of the merger, in accordance with the terms of the Fidelity option plans, and will be converted into an option to purchase shares of Eagle common stock, as set forth under "The Merger—Treatment of Fidelity Options" at page . Under the terms of its option plans, Fidelity may also accelerate the vesting of any option prior to the effective time, provided, however that under the merger agreement, the consent of Eagle would be required to effect such an acceleration.

Compensation and Termination Agreements. EagleBank has entered into an agreement with each of Messrs. Pincus and Watkins regarding the termination of their existing agreements with Fidelity and/or F&T Bank. Under the termination agreements, Mr. Pincus and Mr. Watkins agree that they will not receive any severance or change in control payments in connection with the merger. EagleBank has also entered into new agreements, effective as of the effective time, pursuant to which Mr. Pincus will serve as Vice Chairman of the board of directors of EagleBank, and Mr. Watkins will serve as President of the District of Columbia and Virginia regions of EagleBank.

Under his agreement, Mr. Pincus will be retained to serve as Vice Chairman of the board of directors of EagleBank, and receive an annual payment of $220,000, subject to annual increase to reflect, at a minimum, the increase in the consumer price index, in lieu of all other fees for service on the board of directors. Mr. Pincus will also be eligible to receive incentive bonuses pursuant to board approved plans, and to a car allowance of $1,250 per month. The agreement has a term of three years. In the event of early termination of the agreement by EagleBank without cause, or as a result of Mr. Pincus' death or disability, Mr. Pincus would be entitled to receive continued payment of retainer compensation and car allowance for the remainder of the term, subject to his continued compliance with the confidentiality, noncompete and nonsolicitation provisions of the agreement. The agreement provides that during the term and for a period of eighteen months after termination, Mr. Pincus will not in any capacity (i) render any services to a bank or financial services business, including but not limited to any consumer savings, commercial banking, insurance or trust business, or a savings and loan or mortgage business, or other business in which EagleBank has invested significant resources in anticipation of commencing, or to any person or entity that is attempting to form such a business if it operates any office, branch or other facility that is (or is proposed to be) located within a thirty-five mile radius of the location of any branch of Eagle, EagleBank, Fidelity or F&T Bank or their affiliates, or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customers, suppliers, officers, employees, contractors, consultants, agents or representatives of, or any other person that has a business relationship with, Eagle, EagleBank, Fidelity or F&T Bank or their affiliates, to discontinue, terminate or reduce the extent of their relationship with such entity or to solicit any such customer for any competitive product or service, or otherwise solicit any customer or employee of Eagle, EagleBank, Fidelity or F&T Bank or their affiliates.

Under the agreement, in the event that (i) Mr. Pincus is terminated without cause after a change in control, (ii) his title, duties or position are materially reduced within twelve months after a change in control, without his consent, such that he would not have materially comparable compensation benefits and responsibilities, and not have his primary worksite moved more than twenty five miles, and such change is not cured within thirty days of notice of termination, or (iii) he voluntary terminates the agreement within the thirty day period following twelve months after a change in control, Mr. Pincus would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 2.99 times his highest rate of base compensation in effect within the twelve months prior to termination, subject to adjustment to avoid adverse tax consequences resulting from characterization of such payment for tax purposes as a "parachute payment."

Under his agreement, Mr. Watkins will serve as President of the District of Columbia and Virginia regions of EagleBank. Pursuant to this agreement, which has a term of three years from the effective date of the merger, Mr. Watkins will be entitled to base compensation at an initial rate of $250,000 per year, a car allowance of $1,500 per month, bank paid life insurance, up to an annual premium of $5,000, paid parking and participation in all other health, welfare, benefit, retirement, stock, option and bonus plans, if any, generally available to officers of EagleBank. If Mr. Watkins is terminated without cause, then subject to his continued compliance with the confidentiality, noncompetition and nonsolicit provision of the agreement, he will be entitled to receive continued base salary and COBRA payments for a period of one year following termination. The confidentiality, noncompete and nonsolicit provisions of Mr. Watkins' agreement are identical to those in Mr. Pincus' agreement, except that they extend for a period of twelve months following termination.

Under the agreement, in the event that (i) Mr. Watkins is terminated without cause after a change in control, (ii) his title, duties or position are materially reduced within twelve months after a change in control, without his consent, such that he would not have materially comparable compensation benefits and responsibilities, and not have his primary worksite moved more than twenty five miles, and such change is not cured within thirty days of notice of termination or (iii) he voluntary terminates the agreement within the thirty day period following twelve months after a change in control, Mr. Watkins would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to 2.99 times his highest rate of base compensation in effect within the twelve months prior to termination, subject to adjustment to avoid adverse tax consequences resulting from characterization of such payment for tax purposes as a "parachute payment."

Bonus Payments. Under his current compensation agreement, Mr. Pincus would be entitled to receive a bonus of $100,000, payable at June 30, 2008 if F&T Bank's portfolio loans and its deposits were at or exceeded specified levels at that date. Also, under an agreement with a limited liability company through which Albert A. D'Alessandro, the Chairman of F&T Bank's advisory board serves, bonuses of up to $50,000 is payable by F&T Bank if the loans and deposits generated by members of the advisory board, exceed designated levels. As the levels of loans and deposits necessary to pay bonuses to each of Mr. Pincus and Mr. D'Alessandro have already been reached, it is a condition to closing that Mr. Pincus and Mr. D'Alessandro's company shall have been paid these bonuses prior to closing.

Change in Control and Severance Payments F&T Bank currently has employment agreements with each of the officers set forth in the table below, which expire on October 1, 2008, subject to automatic renewal unless either party gives notice of an intent not to renew. Eagle will assume these contracts at the effective time. Under these employment agreements, if there is a change in control of Fidelity (the merger will result in a change in control), and if within one year of the change in control, without the consent of the employee, the officer's responsibilities are reduced in a manner inconsistent with his/her position; the officer's base compensation is reduced; or his/her office is relocated more than fifty miles, then the officer has thirty days to resign. If the officer elects to resign (a "Change in Control Resignation"), he/she will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to two times the amount of the officer's current base salary and the cost of two years of continued health insurance benefits under COBRA (a "Change in Control Resignation Payment"). If any officer does not become entitled to receive a Change in Control Resignation

Payment, but Eagle, as the successor to F&T Bank, elects not to extend such officer's employment agreement or terminates the officer's employment without cause, then such officer will be entitled to receive continued payments of base salary and COBRA payments for a period of twelve months (a "Severance Payment").

Name	Title	Change in Control Resignation Payment(1)		Severance Payment(1)
Diane M. Begg	Chief Financial Officer	$	351,233	$	175,616
Gloria M. Reyes	Chief Credit Officer	$	278,250	$	139,125
J. Mercedes Alvarez	Chief Corporate Officer	$	306,198	$	153,099
Cynthia A. Pehl	Chief Risk Officer	$	274,096	$	137,048
Kim Ray	Chief Operating Officer	$	306,454	$	153,227
Susan J. Schumacher	Commercial Deposit Services Manager	$	267,120	$	133,560

(1): Based on base salary as in effect on December 31, 2007 and estimated COBRA expense. Amounts rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

It is currently anticipated that all executive officers of Fidelity will be offered continued employment with EagleBank. It is expected that each of these officers will be eligible to receive a Change in Control Resignation payment or a Severance Payment.

Mr. Pincus' relationship with Milestone Advisors, LLC. Robert P. Pincus is the Chairman of Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC, the parent company of Milestone Advisors, LLC ("Milestone Advisors"). While he is not receiving any compensation related to this transaction, he does receive compensation for other transactions from Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC. Mr. Pincus's relationship with Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC was fully disclosed to the Fidelity board of directors prior to receiving the opinion of Milestone Advisors.

Line of Credit. Independent of the obligations of Eagle and Fidelity under the merger agreement, EagleBank has provided Fidelity with a revolving line of credit, secured by a first lien security interest in all of the stock of F&T Bank, pursuant to which EagleBank may lend up to $12.9 million to Fidelity for the purpose of contributing additional capital to F&T Bank, in the form of subordinated debt and equity. The line of credit will be repaid upon effectiveness of the merger and bank merger. The obligation of Fidelity under the line of credit will exist regardless of whether the merger and bank merger are completed.

Accounting Treatment

Eagle will account for the merger as a purchase, as that term is used under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of Fidelity as of the effective time will be recorded at their respective fair values and combined with those of Eagle. The amount by which the purchase price paid by Eagle exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired by Eagle through the merger will be recorded as goodwill. Financial statements of Eagle issued after the effective time will reflect these values and will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Fidelity.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger

Eagle and Fidelity have agreed to use their reasonable efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, which include the approvals of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation. We have filed applications in order to obtain these approvals. The merger cannot

proceed without these regulatory approvals. It is presently contemplated that if any additional governmental approvals or actions are required (including any approvals necessary to acquire the inactive business of F&T Mortgage), such approvals or actions will be sought. Although Eagle and Fidelity expect to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals, there can be no assurance as to if and when these regulatory approvals will be obtained. There can also be no assurance that the United States Department of Justice or any state attorney general will not attempt to challenge the merger on antitrust grounds, or, if such a challenge is made, there can be no assurance as to its result.

A regulatory body's approval may contain terms or impose conditions or restrictions relating or applying to, or requiring changes in or limitations on, the operation or ownership of any asset or business of Eagle, Fidelity or any of their respective subsidiaries, or Eagle's ownership of Fidelity, or requiring asset divestitures. The merger agreement permits Eagle to decline to consummate the merger if any approval imposes any condition that, in the reasonable judgment of Eagle, would have a material adverse effect on the value of the merger to Eagle (excluding conditions that are ordinarily imposed in connection with transactions like the merger). There can be no assurance that the required regulatory approvals will be obtained on terms that satisfy the conditions to closing of the merger or within the time frame contemplated by Eagle and Fidelity. See "The Merger—Conditions to the Merger" at page .

Background of the Merger

On October 10, 2007, Fidelity board member and F&T Bank Chair, Robert P. Pincus and Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer, Ronald D. Paul, met over breakfast and discussed the overall banking environment. The discussion led to talks of a possible business combination of the two financial institutions, Fidelity and Eagle, and all its positive opportunities. Mr. Pincus and Mr. Paul agreed to explore the merger option and to each seek input from an investment banking firm.

On October 18, 2007, Diane M. Begg, CFO of Fidelity met with William L. Boyan, III of Sandler O'Neill, Eagle's financial advisor, to discuss Fidelity's historical financial and operating results and discuss certain preliminary due diligence questions.

On October 23, 2007, Mr. Pincus met with Norman R. Pozez, Director of Fidelity, and John J. Nelligan and Eugene S. Weil of Milestone Advisors and discussed the rendering of financial advisory services to Fidelity in connection with a possible merger with Eagle.

On October 24, 2007, Susan B. Hepner, Chair of Fidelity's board of directors, executed an engagement letter between Fidelity and Milestone Advisors to retain its services for the purpose of assisting Fidelity in structuring, negotiating, and ultimately issuing a fairness opinion with respect to the merger with Eagle.

On October 31, 2007, Mr. Pincus met with Mr. Paul, Leland M. Weinstein, a director of Eagle, Messrs. Nelligan and Weil of Milestone Advisors, and Mr. Boyan, of Sandler O'Neill, to discuss all the business opportunities associated with a potential merger between Eagle and Fidelity, the compatibilities between the two institutions and benefits for the current clients and shareholders. The group agreed to pursue a letter of intent and definitive merger agreement.

On November 7, 2007, Fidelity's board of directors met and affirmed the retention of Milestone Advisors. The board requested that Milestone Advisors also render a fairness opinion on the sale transaction. The board of directors discussed and considered the terms and conditions of the preliminary merger agreement.

Between November 7 and November 29, 2007, the parties and the financial and legal advisors conducted due diligence and negotiated the material terms of the merger agreement and the related agreement.

On November 30, 2007, Fidelity's board of directors met with its financial advisor, Mr. Nelligan of Milestone Advisors, and legal advisors, Philip Feigen and Jonathan Pavony of Patton Boggs LLP, to discuss and consider the financial, business, strategic and legal aspects relating to the merger agreement, the merger, and related transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Fidelity's board determined that it was in the best interest of Fidelity and its shareholders and approved entering into the agreement and plan of merger with Eagle.

Eagle and Fidelity executed the definitive merger agreement and issued a press release publicly announcing the transaction on December 2, 2007.

Fidelity's Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Fidelity's Board of Directors

The terms of the merger agreement, including the consideration to be paid to Fidelity's shareholders, were the result of arms-length negotiations. While evaluating the merger proposal the Fidelity board of directors considered a number of factors, including informal discussions with other local banking institutions. None of the informal discussions with other local banking institutions materialized. After considering its options, including continuing to operate on a stand alone basis, the board concluded that the merger presented a more favorable opportunity for maximizing shareholder value than Fidelity's other alternatives. Positive features included, but were not limited to:

•: the consideration to be paid to Fidelity's shareholders relative to the market value, book value and earnings per share of Fidelity common stock;
•: the greater liquidity of Eagle common stock compared to Fidelity common stock;
•: the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including the stock consideration, the agreement of certain directors and executive officers of Fidelity and F&T Bank to vote in favor of the merger agreement, the limitations on the interim business operations of Fidelity, the conditions to consummation of the merger, the circumstances under which the merger agreement could be terminated and the advice of Fidelity's financial and legal advisors;
•: information regarding the business, operations, earnings, financial condition, management and prospects of Fidelity and Eagle;
•: the belief that the terms of the merger are fair to and in the best interest of the Fidelity shareholders;
•: that the current consideration to be received in the merger would deliver more value to Fidelity shareholders than the value that could be expected if Fidelity were to continue as an independent company;
•: the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Eagle and Fidelity before and after giving effect to the merger based on due diligence and publicly available earnings estimates for Eagle;
•: the strategic fit of Eagle and Fidelity, including the belief that the merger has the potential to enhance shareholder value through growth opportunities and synergies resulting from combining the companies' complementary strengths and assets;
•: the combined capital strength resulting from the merger will provide expanded lending opportunities to meet the needs of the resulting institution's market;

•: the expansion of the branch network resulting from the merger will provide an expanded market for the delivery of banking products and services;
•: the combination of human and technological resources resulting from the merger will enhance the delivery of services to our customers;
•: the importance of maintaining local access to decision makers who know and can deliver to our customers' business needs is satisfied by the merger;
•: the opinion of Milestone Advisors that the consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to Fidelity's shareholders.

The Fidelity board of directors also considered the potential adverse consequences of the proposed merger, including:

•: the challenges of combining the businesses, assets and workforces of the two companies;
•: the risk of not achieving expected operating efficiencies or growth;
•: the possibility that the consideration payable to shareholders could decrease if the conversion ratio is reduced or the price of Eagle common stock declines prior to the closing date (see "The Merger—Merger Consideration—Potential Reduction of the Conversion Ratio at page );
•: the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters while working to implement the merger;
•: the risk that the merger will not be consummated.

The above discussion of the information and factors considered by the Fidelity board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors the Fidelity board of directors considered. In reaching its determination to approve and recommend the merger, the Fidelity board of directors did not assign any relative or specific weights to the foregoing factors, and individual directors may have given differing weights to different factors.

The Fidelity board of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of Fidelity and its shareholders. Accordingly the Fidelity board of directors has approved the merger agreement unanimously and recommends unanimously that you vote "FOR" approval of the merger and the merger agreement.

Eagle's Background and Reasons for the Merger

In reaching its decision to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, Eagle's board of directors, in consultation with management and its financial and legal advisors, considered numerous factors. In determining that the merger was in the best interests of Eagle and its shareholders, the board considered the positive aspects of engaging in the merger, which included but were not limited to the expectation that:

•

the merger will, in a cost effective manner:

•: substantially increase EagleBank's assets and capital base, allowing it to provide customers with larger loans, and a wider variety of loan, deposit and other products;
•: expand its human and financial resources;

•

the addition of Fidelity's six offices will provide EagleBank with greater presence in the District of Columbia and Montgomery County, and provide it with the opportunity to enter the Northern Virginia market for the first time; and

•

the merger will provide the combined company with opportunities for cross selling of products and for substantial cost savings through reduction of administrative and overhead expenses, as well as

possible branch consolidation in the future, resulting in a transaction which should produce increased income, increased income per share and other financial benefits for Eagle shareholders.

The board of directors also considered the potential negative aspects of to the proposed merger, including but not limited to the risks that:

•: the potential liabilities relating to F&T Mortgage, including liability relating to litigation related to F&T Mortgage's mortgage repurchase obligations, could be greater than anticipated;
•: Fidelity's allowance for loan losses would not be adequate to absorb losses inherent in its portfolio, and that the quality of its portfolio would be lower than it was perceived to be;
•: the adjustment provisions built into the merger agreement would not fully compensate Eagle for the foregoing risks;
•: integration of Fidelity would take longer, and be more expensive, than anticipated; and
•: Eagle would be unable to successfully retain and provide additional services to Fidelity's customers.

After the initial meeting between Mr. Paul and Mr. Pincus discussed in "Background of the Merger" above, Eagle consulted with its legal counsel and financial advisor, to assist it in conducting due diligence on Fidelity, and to commence preparing a draft definitive agreement. During the period of November 8 through November 17, 2007, Eagle's senior management, legal counsel, financial advisor and independent loan review consultants retained for the purpose, conducted an in depth review of Fidelity's business, financial condition, assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, including those related to F&T Mortgage. This review, and discussion of the findings, continued after the main portion of the due diligence investigation was completed.

On November 22, 2007, the Eagle board of directors met with representatives of legal counsel and Sandler O'Neill to discuss the proposed terms of the merger and the findings of the due diligence examination. Following an extensive discussion of the prospects for Eagle and its shareholders as a result of the merger, the condition and prospects of Fidelity and its subsidiaries, and the risks relating to an acquisition of Fidelity, the board approved continued discussions relating to the proposed merger. On November 28, 2007, the board of directors again met with Eagle's legal and financial advisors to discuss the merger. In anticipation of the meeting, the latest iteration of the merger agreement had been distributed to the directors. Following a presentation by management and counsel of the status of the discussions regarding the proposed merger, changes to the merger agreement since the draft distributed, a presentation by Sandler O'Neill of the financial impact of the proposed merger, a discussion of due diligence issues, and a presentation by counsel on issues relating to F&T Mortgage, the board approved continued discussions toward a definitive agreement.

On November 30, 2007, a joint meeting of the boards of directors of Eagle and EagleBank was held. The directors had previously been provided with the latest version of the proposed merger agreement. At this meeting, the boards reviewed the structure of the transaction, heard presentations from management and counsel on the status of the negotiations, changes to the agreement since the November 28, 2007 meeting and unresolved issues, and discussed the potential risks of the transaction and the potential impact of the merger on Eagle and its shareholders. The boards received and discussed a presentation by legal counsel regarding their fiduciary obligations under Maryland law. The boards received and discussed a presentation from Sandler O'Neill as to the financial impact of the transaction, pricing issues, and as to the fairness of the transaction from a financial point of view to the shareholders of Eagle. After extensive discussion, the boards of directors of Eagle and EagleBank unanimously approved the merger (with one member of the EagleBank board absent), subject to satisfactory resolution of open items, and authorized Mr. Paul to execute the merger agreement and related documents in the form presented, with such changes as he deemed appropriate, provided that such changes did not result in an increase in the substantive risk to Eagle and EagleBank of the proposed transaction.

The above discussion of the information and factors considered by Eagle's board of directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but indicates the material matters considered by the board. In reaching its determination to approve the merger agreement and the transactions which it contemplates, the board did not quantify, rank or assign any relative or specific weight to any of the foregoing factors, and individual directors may have considered various factors differently. The Eagle board did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor, or any particular aspect of any factor, supported or did not support its ultimate determination. There can be no assurance that the merger will be effected and the integration of the two companies consummated in the manner expected by the Eagle board, or that the expected benefits to Eagle and its shareholders will be realized.

The Eagle board of directors has unanimously approved the merger and unanimously recommends that holders of Eagle common stock vote "FOR" the approval of the issuance of up to a maximum of 4,338,363 shares of Eagle common stock in connection with the merger.

Opinion of Fidelity's Financial Advisor

At the request of Fidelity, Milestone Advisors has provided to the Fidelity board of directors a written opinion to the effect that, subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth in the opinion, as of the date Fidelity entered into the merger agreement the consideration to be paid by Eagle as provided in the merger agreement was fair to the holders of Fidelity common stock from a financial point of view.

Milestone Advisors was retained by Fidelity as its financial advisor and to provide a fairness opinion to Fidelity. Milestone Advisors is an investment banking firm that provides a broad range of financial services, and, as part of its investment banking activities, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with merger transactions and other types of acquisitions, private placements, secondary distributions and valuations for corporate, estate and other purposes. No limitations were imposed by the board of directors of Fidelity upon Milestone Advisors with respect to the investigation made or procedures followed by it in rendering its opinion. On March 16, 2005, options representing 10,500 shares were granted to Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC, the parent company of Milestone Advisors, at the exercise price of $10.00 per share. In addition, Milestone Merchant Partners, LLC owns 14,221 shares of Fidelity common stock. Milestone Advisors was paid $377,992 in 2007 in connection with the F&T Mortgage asset sale. Milestone Advisors did not receive any compensation in 2006 from Fidelity.

The full text of Milestone Advisors' written opinion to Fidelity & Trust's board of directors, which sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations of the review undertaken by Milestone Advisors, is attached as Appendix B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. Shareholders of Fidelity are urged to read the opinion, which is attached as Appendix B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, in its entirety in connection with their consideration of the proposed merger.

For purposes of Milestone Advisors' opinion and in connection with its review of the merger and the merger agreement, Milestone Advisors, among other things:

•: reviewed the merger agreement;
•: reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to Fidelity and Eagle that Milestone Advisors deemed to be relevant;
•: reviewed certain internal information, primarily financial in nature, including financial and operating data relating to the strategic implications and operational benefits anticipated to result from the merger, furnished to Milestone Advisors by Fidelity and Eagle;
•: reviewed certain publicly available and other information concerning the reported prices and trading history of, and the trading market for, the common stock of Eagle;

•: reviewed certain publicly available information with respect to other companies that Milestone Advisors believed to be comparable in certain respects to Fidelity and Eagle;
•: considered the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected recent business combinations of companies in the banking industry which Milestone Advisors deemed to be comparable, in whole or in part, to the merger;
•: made inquiries regarding and discussed the merger and the merger agreement and other related matters with Fidelity and Fidelity's counsel.

In addition, Milestone Advisors held discussions with the managements of Fidelity and Eagle concerning their views as to the financial and other information described above and the potential cost savings, operating synergies, revenue enhancements and strategic benefits expected to result from the merger. Milestone Advisors also conducted such other analyses and examinations and considered such other financial, economic and market criteria as it deemed appropriate to arrive at its opinion. It did not, however, make or review any independent evaluations or appraisals of any of the assets, properties, liabilities or securities, or make any physical inspection of the properties or assets of Fidelity. Milestone Advisors assumed the adequacy of allowances for losses in loan portfolios, and did not undertake to review any individual credit files, for Fidelity or Eagle.

In delivering its opinion to the board of directors of Fidelity, Milestone Advisors prepared and delivered to the board written materials containing various analyses and other information. Subject to the provisions of the merger agreement, each share of Fidelity common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger shall be converted into the right to receive consideration equal to 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock. The aggregate number of Eagle shares to be issued in exchange for all of Fidelity's currently outstanding common stock is approximately 3.9 million. All issued and outstanding options to purchase Fidelity's common stock at the time of transaction close will be converted into options to purchase Eagle shares per customary conversion methodology as described in the merger agreement. The fully diluted per share purchase price as of the date of the fairness opinion was $11.50 and as of the date of the merger agreement was $11.51. For purposes of the fairness opinion, Milestone Advisors assumed 4,207,016 shares of Fidelity common stock outstanding and 507,070 options to purchase Fidelity common stock outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $10.75 per share.

The following are summaries of the analyses contained in the materials delivered to Fidelity board of directors:

Market Trading Analysis of Eagle Bancorp(1). Milestone Advisors reviewed the stock trading history of Eagle. As of November 29^th, 2007, the market value of Eagle was $12.50 per share and ranged from $11.55 to $18.01 over the preceding 52-week period. The 30-, 60-, 90- day trading average stock prices were $12.57, $12.84, and $13.12, and the average daily trading volume was approximately 5,500 shares.

(1): Fidelity is not a publicly traded company.

Public Comparable Company Analysis. This method applies the comparative public market information of comparable companies to Fidelity and Eagle. The methodology assumes companies in the same industry share similar markets, and the potential for revenue and earnings growth is usually dependent upon the characteristics of the growth rates of these markets, and companies that operate within the same industry or line of business experience similar operating characteristics and business opportunities and risks. The underlying component in the comparable company analysis assumes the companies are going concerns.

Using publicly available information, Milestone Advisors compared selected financial data of Fidelity with similar data of selected publicly-traded companies engaged in commercial banking considered by Milestone Advisors to be comparable to those of Fidelity. In this regard, Milestone Advisors noted that although such companies were considered similar, none of the companies has the same management,

makeup, size or combination of businesses as Fidelity, as the case may be. Milestone Advisors reviewed and analyzed the following publicly-traded companies, which Milestone Advisors deemed to be comparable companies (collectively, the "Fidelity & Trust Comparison Companies"): This group was selected from companies that are (i) 16 commercial banks or bank holding companies which were established after 2002 and have assets between $250 million and $750 million (the "De Novo Comparison Companies"), (ii) 61 commercial banks or bank holding companies located in the Mid-Atlantic region and have assets between $250 million and $750 million (the "Mid-Atlantic Comparison Companies"), and (iii) 32 commercial banks or bank holding companies which have a return on average assets of less than 0.8% and have assets between $250 million and $750 million (the "Nationwide Comparison Companies").

Milestone Advisors analyzed the following financial data for each of the Fidelity & Trust Comparison Companies and then applied the mean and median trading metrics of the Fidelity & Trust Comparison Companies to Fidelity as a multiple or percent, as the case may be, of (i) total assets (ii) tangible book value, and (iii) earnings(2) for the latest twelve months.

The median range of values for this analysis was from $9.36 to $9.99 per share compared to the value of Eagle's stock offer equal to an exchange ratio of 0.9202, or $11.51 per share as of the date of the merger agreement.

Merger and Acquisition Transaction Analysis. Milestone Advisors reviewed certain publicly available information regarding 55 selected merger and acquisition transactions (the "Comparable Transactions") from January 1, 2005 to October 31, 2007 involving commercial banks and bank holding companies, in which the sellers (i) were commercial banks or bank holding companies formed after January 1, 2001 and had total assets at the time of transaction announcement less than $500 million (the 18 "De Novo Transactions"), (ii) were commercial banks or bank holding companies located in the Mid-Atlantic region and had total assets at the time of transaction announcement between $250 million and $750 million (the 12 "Mid-Atlantic Transactions"), and (iii) were commercial banks or bank holding companies which had a return on average assets less than 0.8% and had total assets at the time of transaction announcement between $250 million and $750 million (the 25 "Nationwide Transactions").

For each transaction, Milestone Advisors analyzed data illustrating, among other things, the multiple of purchase price to last twelve month ("LTM") earnings per share ("EPS"), the multiple of purchase price to tangible book value ("TBV"), and the ratio of the premium (i.e., purchase price in excess of tangible book value) to core deposits.

A summary of the mean and median multiples and ratios for the Comparable Transactions Group in the analysis follows:

M&A Metrics, De Novo Transactions

An analysis of the results of the foregoing necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in the financial and operating characteristics of Fidelity & Trust and the companies included in the selected merger transactions and other factors that could affect the acquisition value of the companies to which it is being compared. Mathematical analyses such as determining the median or average is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable transaction data.

Present Value Analysis. In performing the Present Value analysis, Milestone Advisors estimated the future cash earnings of Fidelity & Trust on both a stand-alone and pro forma basis (including the operational benefits that are expected to result from the transaction), and then discounted those values back to the present using discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 15.0%. Free cash flow in this analysis is equal to the cash earnings of Fidelity & Trust less the amount of retained earnings necessary to maintain an equity-to-assets ratio of 7.0%. The two valuation methodologies used were (i) a 12.0x to 20.0x price-to-earnings multiple range to Fidelity & Trust's projected future earnings per share and book value per share and (ii) a price-to-book value ratio ranging from 150% to 250% to Fidelity & Trust's projected future earnings per share and book value per share.

12.0x–20.0x Price / Earnings Multiple

	Low		High		Average
Stand-alone	$	7.57	$	14.58	$	10.86
Pro-forma	$	8.87	$	17.09	$	12.73
F&T / Eagle					$	11.51

150%–250% Price / Book Value Ratio

	Low		High		Average
Stand-alone	$	9.35	$	18.01	$	13.41
Pro-forma	$	9.79	$	18.85	$	14.04
F&T / Eagle					$	11.51

Accretion Analysis. Milestone Advisors analyzed the projected 2007 through 2011 earnings per share for one original share of Fidelity common stock, adjusted for the exchange ratio assuming 100% stock conversion. Milestone Advisors compared the projected earnings per share for the holders of Fidelity common stock on a stand-alone basis and on a combined pro forma basis for Fidelity and Eagle. This analysis assumes, among other things, that the transaction is completed in the second quarter of 2008, and expense savings are partially realized in 2008 and fully realized in 2009 and all periods thereafter. This analysis results in positive earnings accretion to Fidelity shareholders ranging from 20% to 30% in 2009 through 2011.

This analysis suggests that there are higher potential earnings per share and therefore higher potential value per share for the holders of Fidelity common stock if the merger is completed.

This analysis relies on financial projections for Fidelity and Eagle, which projections may be significantly different from actual results. Therefore, the accretion experienced by Fidelity and/or Eagle may be significantly different than projected.

While the foregoing summaries describe several analyses and examinations that Milestone Advisors deemed material in its opinion, it is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and examinations actually conducted by Milestone Advisors. The preparation of a fairness opinion necessarily involves various determinations of the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances, and, therefore, is not susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Each of the analyses conducted by Milestone Advisors was carried out in order to provide a different perspective on the transaction and to add to the total mix of information available. Milestone Advisors did not form a conclusion as to whether any individual analysis, considered alone, supported or failed to support an opinion as to fairness from a financial point of view. Rather, in reaching its conclusion, Milestone Advisors considered the results of the analyses as a whole and did not place particular reliance or weight on any individual factor. Therefore, selecting portions of the analyses and factors considered, without considering all such analyses and factors, would create an incomplete or misleading view of the process underlying the analysis. The range of valuations resulting from any particular analysis should not be taken to be Milestone Advisors' view of the actual value or predicted future value of Fidelity's common stock.

In performing its analyses, Milestone Advisors made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance and general business and economic conditions such as industry growth, inflation, interest rates and many other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Fidelity, Eagle and Milestone Advisors. Any estimates contained in Milestone Advisors' analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by the analyses. Additionally, estimates of the values of the business and securities do not purport to be appraisals of the assets or market value of Fidelity and Eagle or their securities, nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which transactions may actually be consummated.

In arriving at its opinion, Milestone Advisors assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information provided to or reviewed by Milestone Advisors, including publicly available information, and Milestone Advisors did not assume any responsibility for independent verification of any such information. With respect to financial projections and other information provided to or reviewed by Milestone Advisors, Milestone Advisors was advised by the managements of Fidelity and Eagle that such projections and other information were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective managements of Fidelity and Eagle as to the expected future financial performance of Fidelity and Eagle, and Milestone Advisors assumed that, after the merger, Fidelity and Eagle and its subsidiaries will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. Milestone Advisors' opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Fidelity to enter into the Agreement or complete the merger.

Pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter with Fidelity, Milestone Advisors will receive a fee from Fidelity. In the ordinary course of Milestone Advisors' business, the principals of Milestone Advisors and its affiliates own common shares and options to acquire common shares of Fidelity and may actively trade the common stock of Eagle for their own account and for the accounts of Milestone Advisors' customers and, accordingly, Milestone Advisors may at any time hold a long or short position in the common stock of Eagle. In addition: (1) Milestone Advisors and its affiliates have provided investment banking services to Fidelity over the last two years and have received fees for such services, (2) a board member of Fidelity provides advisory services to Milestone Advisors and its affiliates and receives compensation for such services, and (3) Milestone Advisors maintains banking relationships with Fidelity, all of which are on commercial terms. Fidelity has also agreed to reimburse Milestone Advisors for its expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify Milestone Advisors against certain liabilities.

Milestone Advisors' opinion is for the benefit and use of the members of the board of directors of Fidelity in connection with their evaluation of the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Fidelity common stock as to how such holder should vote with respect to the merger.

Opinion of Eagle's Financial Advisor

Opinion of Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. By letter dated November 21, 2007, Eagle Bancorp Inc. ("Eagle") retained Sandler O'Neill to act as its financial advisor in connection with a possible business combination with Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation ("Fidelity"). Sandler O'Neill is a nationally recognized investment banking firm whose principal business specialty is financial institutions. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Sandler O'Neill is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.

Sandler O'Neill acted as financial advisor to Eagle in connection with the proposed transaction and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to the execution of a definitive merger agreement on December 2, 2007. At the November 30, 2007 meeting at which Eagle's board considered and approved the merger agreement, Sandler O'Neill delivered to the board its oral opinion, which was later confirmed in writing that, as of such date, the merger consideration was fair to Eagle from a financial point of view. The full text of Sandler O'Neill's written opinion is attached as Appendix C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sandler O'Neill in rendering its opinion. Shareholders of Eagle are urged to carefully read the entire opinion, which is attached as Appendix C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with their consideration of the proposed merger.

Sandler O'Neill's opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion was directed to the Eagle board and is directed only to the fairness of the merger consideration to Eagle from a financial point of view. It does not address the underlying business decision of Eagle to engage in the merger or any other aspect of the merger and is not a recommendation to any Eagle shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote at the special meeting with respect to the merger or any other matter.

In connection with rendering its November 30, 2007 opinion, Sandler O'Neill reviewed and considered, among other things:

(1): the merger agreement;
(2): certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Eagle that Sandler O'Neill deemed relevant;
(3): certain audited financial statements and other historical financial information of Fidelity that Sandler O'Neill deemed relevant;
(4): an internal budget for Eagle for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 prepared by and reviewed with management of Eagle and management guidance on an assumed asset growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010;
(5): an internal budget for Fidelity for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 as provided by senior management of Fidelity and management guidance, based on discussions with the senior management of Eagle and Fidelity on an assumed asset growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010 for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010;
(6): the pro forma financial impact of the merger on Eagle based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by the senior managements of Eagle and Fidelity;

(7): the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Eagle's common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Eagle with similar publicly available information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded;
(8): the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial banking industry, to the extent publicly available;
(9): the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and
(10): such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant

Sandler O'Neill also discussed with certain members of senior management of Eagle, the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Eagle and held similar discussions with certain members of senior management of Fidelity regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Fidelity.

In performing its reviews and analyses and in rendering its opinion, Sandler O'Neill relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all the financial and other information that was available to it from public sources, that was provided to Sandler O'Neill by Eagle or Fidelity or their respective representatives, or that was otherwise reviewed by Sandler O'Neill and have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering its opinion. Sandler O'Neill further relied on the assurances of the management of each of Eagle and Fidelity that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. Sandler O'Neill has not been asked to undertake, and has not undertaken, an independent verification of any of such information and Sandler O'Neill does not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Sandler O'Neill did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing the assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Eagle or Fidelity or any of their subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor has Sandler O'Neill been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Sandler O'Neill did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Eagle or Fidelity nor has Sandler O'Neill reviewed any individual credit files relating to Eagle or Fidelity. Sandler O'Neill assumed, with Eagle's consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Eagle and Fidelity were adequate to cover such losses.

With respect to the internal budget and management guidance for Eagle as provided by the senior management of Eagle and the internal budget and management guidance for Fidelity as discussed with the managements of Fidelity and Eagle and the projections of transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and expected cost savings prepared by and/or reviewed with the managements of Eagle and Fidelity and used by Sandler O'Neill in its analyses, Eagle's and Fidelity's management confirmed to Sandler O'Neill that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the future financial performance of Eagle and Fidelity and Sandler O'Neill assumed that such performance would be achieved. Sandler O'Neill expressed no opinion as to the budget it received or the guidance provided by management and estimates or the assumptions on which they are based. Sandler O'Neill has also assumed that there has been no material change in Eagle's and Fidelity's assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to it. Sandler O'Neill assumed in all respects material to its analysis that Eagle and Fidelity will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to the agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the agreements, that the conditions precedent in the agreements are not waived and that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Finally, with Eagle's consent, we have relied upon the advice Eagle has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

Sandler O'Neill's opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of its opinion. Events occurring after the date of the opinion could materially affect the opinion. Sandler O'Neill has not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw its opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. Sandler O'Neill expressed no opinion as to what the value of Eagle's common stock will be when issued to Fidelity's shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement or the prices at which the common stock of Eagle may trade at any time.

In rendering its November 30, 2007 opinion, Sandler O'Neill performed a variety of financial analyses. The following is a summary of the material analyses performed by Sandler O'Neill, but is not a complete description of all the analyses underlying Sandler O'Neill's opinion. The summary includes information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, these tables must be read together with the accompanying text. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Sandler O'Neill believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the factors and analyses to be considered without considering all factors and analyses, or attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or all such factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. Also, no company included in Sandler O'Neill's comparative analyses described below is identical to Eagle or Fidelity and no transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable companies or transactions involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values or merger transaction values, as the case may be, of Eagle and Fidelity and the companies to which they are being compared.

In performing its analyses, Sandler O'Neill also made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of Eagle, Fidelity and Sandler O'Neill. The analysis performed by Sandler O'Neill is not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, both of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Sandler O'Neill prepared its analyses solely for purposes of rendering its opinion and provided such analyses to Eagle board at the board's November 30, 2007 meeting. Estimates on the values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and actual values may be materially different. Accordingly, Sandler O'Neill's analyses do not necessarily reflect the value of Eagle's common stock or the prices at which Eagle's common stock may be sold at any time. The combined analysis of Sandler O'Neill and the opinions provided by each were among a number of factors taken into consideration by Eagle's board in making its determination to adopt the plan of merger contained in the merger agreement and the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of Eagle's board or management with respect to the fairness of the merger.

At the November 30, 2007 meeting of Eagle's board of directors, Sandler O'Neill presented certain financial analyses of the merger. The summary below is not a complete description of the analyses underlying the opinions of Sandler O'Neill or the presentation made by Sandler O'Neill to Eagle's board, but is instead a summary of the material analyses performed and presented in connection with the opinion.

In arriving at our opinion Sandler O'Neill did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that we considered. Rather we made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. Sandler O'Neill did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative) considered in isolation supported or failed to support their respective opinions; rather Sandler O'Neill made our determination as to the fairness of the per share consideration on the

basis of their experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all their analyses taken as a whole. Accordingly, we believe that the analysis and the summary of the analysis must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analysis and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying their analyses and opinions. The tables alone do not constitute complete descriptions of the financial analyses presented in such tables.

Summary of Proposal. Sandler O'Neill reviewed the financial terms of the proposed transaction. Using the fixed exchange ratio of 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock for each share of Fidelity common stock, based upon Eagle's closing stock price as of November 29, 2007 of $12.50, Sandler O'Neill calculated a transaction value of $11.50 per share, or an aggregate transaction value of approximately $48.8 million. Based upon financial information for Fidelity as of or for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2007, Sandler O'Neill calculated the following transaction ratios:

Transaction Ratios
Transaction value/2007 Budgeted earnings per share	44.2x
Transaction value/2008 Budgeted earnings per share	18.9x
Transaction value/Book value per share	150	%
Transaction value/Tangible book value per share	150	%
Tangible book premium/ Core deposits(1)	7.17	%

(1): Core deposits exclude time deposits with account balances greater than $100,000. Tangible book premium/core deposits calculated by dividing the excess of the aggregate transaction value of $48.8 million over tangible book value by core deposits.

The aggregate transaction value was approximately $48.8 million, based upon the offer price per share of $11.50 and 4,207,016 Fidelity common shares outstanding.

Comparable Company Analysis. Sandler O'Neill used publicly available information to perform a comparison of selected financial and market trading information for Eagle and selected financial information for Fidelity.

Sandler O'Neill also used publicly available information to compare selected financial and market trading information for Fidelity and a group of financial institutions selected by Sandler O'Neill. The Fidelity peer group consisted of the following publicly traded commercial banks headquartered in D.C., Maryland, or Virginia with total assets between $350 million and $550 million:

Hampton Roads Bankshares Inc.		Monarch Financial Holdings
First National Corp.		Abigail Adams National Bancorp
Eagle Financial Services Inc.		Calvin B. Taylor Bankshares
Fauquier Bankshares Inc.		F & M Bank Corp.
Bank of Southside Virginia Corp.		Cecil Bancorp Inc.
Chesapeake Financial Shares		Village Bank & Trust Financial Corp
Central Virginia Bankshares		Annapolis Bancorp Inc.

The analysis compared publicly available financial and market trading information for Fidelity and the high, low, mean, and median data for Fidelity peer group as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007. The table below sets forth the data for Fidelity and the median data for Fidelity peer group as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, with pricing data as of November 28, 2007.

Sandler O'Neill reviewed the following multiples: transaction price at announcement to last twelve months' net income, transaction value to book value, transaction value to tangible book value, tangible book premium to core deposits, and transaction value to seller stock price one (1) month prior to announcement, and then computed high, low, mean, median multiples and premiums for the transactions. The median multiples were applied to Fidelity financial information as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007. As illustrated in the following tables, Sandler O'Neill derived an imputed range of aggregate values for Fidelity stock of $33.1 million to $79.5 million based upon the median multiples for the Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia commercial bank transactions and an imputed range of values for the aggregate of Fidelity stock of $57.7 million to $64.4 million based upon the median multiples for the Nationwide Transactions. Sandler O'Neill calculated a transaction value of $11.50 per share.

Transaction Multiples

	D.C., MD, VA				Nationwide
	Median Multiple		Implied Value		Median Multiple		Implied Value
Price Per Share / Last twelve months Net Income	30.1x		$	33,053	NM			NM
Price Per Share / Book Value	232	%	$	75,027	183	%	$	59,004
Price Per Share / Tangible Book Value	246	%	$	79,547	179	%	$	57,725
Core Deposit Premium(1)	20.2	%	$	79,270	13.8	%	$	64,382

(1): Core deposits are defined as total deposits less time deposits over $100,000. The core deposit premium is calculated by taking transaction value, less tangible book value, divided by core deposits.

Net Present Value Analysis. Sandler O'Neill performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Fidelity common stock under various circumstances. In the analysis we used an internal budget for Fidelity for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 as provided by senior management of Fidelity as adjusted by management of Eagle and management guidance, based on discussions with the senior management of Eagle and Fidelity on an assumed asset growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010. To approximate the terminal value of Fidelity common stock at December 31, 2010, Sandler O'Neill applied price to last twelve months earnings multiples of 10.0x to 18.0x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 100% to 200%. The terminal values were then discounted to present

values using different discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 17.0% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Fidelity stock. In addition, the net present value of Fidelity common stock at December 31, 2010 was calculated using the same range of price to last twelve months earnings multiples (10.0x to 18.0x) applied to a range of discounts and premiums to budget projections. The range applied to the budgeted net income was 25% under budget to 25% over budget, using a discount rate of 13.0% for the analysis.

As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share for Fidelity's common stock of $7.05 to $15.06 when applying the price/earnings multiples to the matched budget, $6.13 to $14.55 when applying multiples of tangible book value to the matched budget, and $5.92 to $17.76 when applying the price/earnings multiples to the -25% to +25% budget range.

Sandler O'Neill performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Eagle's common stock under various circumstances, using an internal budget for Eagle for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 prepared by and reviewed with management of Eagle and management guidance on an assumed asset growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010. To approximate the net present value of Eagle's common stock at December 31, 2010, Sandler O'Neill applied price to last twelve months earnings multiples of 10.0x to 18.0x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 100% to 200%. The dividend income streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 11% to 17% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Eagle common stock. In addition, the net present value of Eagle's common stock at December 31, 2010 was calculated using the same range of price to last twelve months earnings multiples (10.0x–18.0x) applied to a range of discounts and premiums to management's budget projections. The range applied to the budgeted net income was 25.0% under budget to 25.0% over budget, using a discount rate of 13.0% for the tabular analysis. As illustrated in the following tables, this analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share for Eagle's common stock of $7.62 to $15.72 when applying the price to earnings multiples to the matched budget, $6.85 to $15.57 when applying multiples of tangible book value to the matched budget, and $6.53 to $22.37 when applying the price/earnings multiples to the -25.0% / +25.0% budget range.

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Sandler O'Neill analyzed certain potential pro forma effects of the merger, assuming the following: (1) the merger closes on June 30, 2008; (2) 100.0% of Fidelity shares are exchanged for Eagle common stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.9202x; (3) options of Fidelity's stock will be converted into options for Eagle's stock; (4) Fidelity performs in accordance with an internal budget provided by Fidelity for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 as provided by senior management of Fidelity, and as adjusted by senior management of Eagle, and management guidance, based on discussions with the senior management of Eagle and Fidelity on an assumed asset growth rate of 15% for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010; (5) an internal budget for Eagle for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 prepared by and reviewed with management of Eagle and management guidance on an assumed asset growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010; (6) purchase accounting adjustments, charges and transaction costs associated with the merger and cost savings determined by the senior management of Eagle and; (7) issuance of $10 million of Trust Preferred Securities to finance a portion of the transaction.

For each of the years 2008 and 2009, Sandler O'Neill compared the EPS of Eagle common stock to the EPS, on a GAAP basis, of the combined company common stock using the foregoing assumptions.

The analyses indicated that the merger would be dilutive to Eagle's projected 2008 EPS, and accretive to Eagle's projected 2009 EPS. The actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.

Miscellaneous. Eagle has agreed to pay Sandler O'Neill a fairness opinion fee of $100,000, all of which has been paid. Eagle has also agreed to pay Sandler O'Neill a transaction fee of 0.50% of the aggregate purchase price (subject to a minimum fee of $250,000), which will be due and payable upon the closing of the merger and against which the fairness opinion fee will be credited. Eagle has also agreed to reimburse certain of Sandler O'Neill reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify Sandler O'Neill and its affiliates and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and controlling persons against certain expenses and liabilities, including liabilities under the securities laws. Sandler O'Neill has not received any compensation from Eagle in the past three years.

In the ordinary course of their respective broker and dealer businesses, Sandler O'Neill may purchase securities from and sell securities to Eagle and Fidelity and their affiliates. Sandler O'Neill may also actively trade the debt and/or equity securities of Eagle or their affiliates for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

The assertion of any claim or claims against Fidelity or any Fidelity subsidiary related to any issue arising out of the operations of F&T Mortgage, that individually or in the aggregate is material in nature or material in amount, but for which a reserve cannot be agreed upon by the parties or cannot be determined by a third party law firm within 45 days, will be deemed to have had a material adverse effect on, and caused a material adverse change to, Fidelity, resulting in Eagle's right to terminate the agreement.

The representations and warranties in the merger agreement do not survive after the effective time of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement.

Nonsolicitation of Acquisition Proposals. Fidelity has also agreed that it will not solicit, encourage, or authorize any person, including but not limited to directors, officers, shareholders, or employees, to solicit from, or communicate with, any third party, or facilitate inquiries or the making of proposals relating to any Acquisition Proposal (as defined below), or except as specifically permitted, provide any third party with information or assistance or negotiate or conduct any discussions with any third party to facilitate inquiries or to obtain an Acquisition Proposal, or continue any such activities in progress as of the date of the merger agreement.

Notwithstanding the above restrictions on solicitation, if Fidelity receives, prior to the effective time of the merger, an Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) which, in the good faith determination of the Fidelity board of directors, the fiduciary duty of the directors under Maryland law requires that the board of directors consider, negotiate, communicate, or provide information with respect to (collectively "communications"), because the Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal is more favorable from a financial point of view to the shareholders of Fidelity than the merger, which determination is made after receiving the advice of counsel regarding the requirements of the fiduciary duty of the directors under Maryland law, and the advice of Fidelity's financial advisor as to whether the Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal is more favorable from a financial point of view to its shareholders than the merger, then Fidelity will be entitled to engage in such communications.

An "Acquisition Proposal" is any offer or proposal, other than the merger of Fidelity into Woodmont or the merger of F&T Bank into EagleBank, received by Fidelity or any Fidelity subsidiary from any person or entity other than Eagle, Woodmont or an affiliate of Eagle (including deemed receipt as a result of the public announcement of such proposal by the proponent) regarding: (1) any merger, consolidation, reorganization, business combination, share purchase or exchange, purchase and assumption or similar transaction involving Fidelity or F&T Bank; or (2) any sale, lease, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition, directly or indirectly, of all, or any substantial portion of, the assets of Fidelity or F&T Bank. An "Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal" is an Acquisition Proposal received by Fidelity or F&T Bank without a violation of the nonsolicitation covenant described above, including where it is received from a party contacted prior to the date of the merger agreement, but without any contact subsequent to the date of the merger agreement.

Other Covenants by Fidelity. In addition to the covenants set forth above, Fidelity and F&T Bank have agreed that, except as otherwise consented to by Eagle in writing, they will, and will cause other Fidelity subsidiaries to among other things:

•: carry on its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice and applicable legal and regulatory requirements;
•: to the extent consistent with prudent business judgment, use all reasonable efforts to preserve its present business organization, to retain the services of its officers and employees, and maintain customer and other business relationships;
•: perform in all material respects its obligations under material contracts, except where it will not have a material adverse effect;
•: comply in all material respects with all applicable with all statutes, laws, regulations, rules, ordinances, orders, decrees, consent agreements, examination reports and other federal, state and local governmental or regulatory directives;
•: at all times maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for representations and warranties at levels which are adequate, respectively, to absorb reasonably anticipated losses in the loan portfolio and recourse obligations in respect of mortgage loans sold in the secondary market, in accordance with GAAP and regulatory requirements;

•: advise Eagle of any request to repurchase or reacquire any mortgage loans sold in the secondary market, or to make any payment in respect of any such loan, or to indemnify any person in respect of any such loan, promptly following receipt, and prior to taking any action in respect of such request;
•: terminate, on or before the closing date, Fidelity's 401(k) plan;
•: use the proceeds of the sale of mortgage loans held for sale by F&T Mortgage to pay down the warehouse line of credit extended by F&T Bank;
•: no later than immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, establish and take such charge-offs, reserves, lower of cost or market allowances or adjustments, and accruals as Eagle may reasonably request to conform Fidelity's and its subsidiaries' loan, accrual, reserve and other accounting policies to those of Eagle; and
•: use its best efforts to wind-down the operations of F&T Mortgage.

Fidelity has also agreed to use its best efforts in good faith: (i) to settle, or have dismissed by final nonappealable order ("resolve"), certain identified material litigations, and to sell identified loans held for sale. In the event that Fidelity is unable to resolve any litigation, Eagle and Fidelity will jointly review the status of such litigation and the reserves maintained with respect for potential liability and litigation and settlement costs, and agree upon the amount, if any, of any increase to such reserves within fifteen business days. If Eagle and Fidelity cannot jointly determine such amount within fifteen business days, then the amount of such reserves shall be determined by an independent law firm which is experienced in the conduct of litigation of the type, scope and complexity of the applicable litigation. The determination of the third party law firm will be binding on the parties. In the event that any loan has not been sold prior to closing, Eagle and Fidelity will jointly review the related allowance for loan losses, market adjustment or other reserves maintained by Fidelity for such loans and agree upon the amount, of any increase within fifteen business days. If Eagle and Fidelity cannot jointly determine such amount within fifteen business days, then the amount of such reserves will be determined by an independent investment banking, loan valuation, banking or financial advisory firm experienced in the valuation of such loans. The determination of the third party investment firm will be binding on the parties. Any increase in reserves for unresolved litigation or with respect to unsold loans may result in a reduction to the conversion ratio. See "The Merger—Merger Consideration—Potential Reduction of the Conversion Ratio" at page . Increases in the litigation reserve by $7.5 million or more, or the inability of the third party law firm to determine the reserve, could result in termination of the merger and the merger agreement. See "Termination and Termination Payments" at page .

Eagle Covenants. Pending effectiveness of the merger, Eagle and Woodmont are each required to use its best efforts to:

•: preserve its business organization intact in all material respects;
•: maintain good relationships with its employees;
•: conduct its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice; and
•: preserve for itself the goodwill of its and its subsidiaries' customer and other business relationships.

Eagle and Woodmont have agreed that they will not, without the prior written consent of Fidelity, knowingly take any action which would:

•: adversely affect the ability to obtain the necessary approvals of governmental authorities required for the merger and related transactions;
•: adversely affect the status of the merger and the related transactions a reorganization; or
•: adversely affect the ability to perform the covenants and agreements under the merger agreement.

Eagle and Woodmont have agreed that pending the effective time:

•: they will comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes, laws, regulations, rules, ordinances, orders, decrees, consent agreements, examination reports and other federal, state and local governmental or regulatory directives; and
•: they will at all times maintain allowance for loan losses at a level which is adequate, respectively, to absorb reasonably anticipated losses in the loan portfolio and recourse obligations in respect of its loans, in accordance with GAAP and regulatory requirements.

Eagle has agreed that it will not, without the prior written consent of Fidelity:

•: amend, repeal or modify any provision of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws in a manner which would adversely affect Fidelity, Fidelity shareholders or the merger; or
•: make or pay any extraordinary one-time dividend or distribution on shares of Eagle common stock, other than any distribution or dividend payable in shares of Eagle Common Stock which would result in the adjustment of the conversion ratio, provided that Eagle may its regular quarterly dividend.

Eagle has also agreed that except for the purchase of loans and/or securities in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice, it will not acquire (other than by foreclosures or acquisitions in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of debts previously contracted in good faith and, in each case, in the ordinary and usual course of business consistent with past practice) all or any portion of the assets, business or properties of any other entity.

The merger agreement provides that as promptly as practicable after the date of the merger agreement and Fidelity furnishing any information regarding Fidelity required to be included, Eagle will file the registration statement with the SEC and applications or notices with the Federal Reserve Board, the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation, and any other appropriate state or federal regulatory agency for approval of the merger of Fidelity with and into Woodmont, the merger of F&T Bank with and into EagleBank, and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, applications have been filed with the Federal Reserve and the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation, and appropriate notices have been filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission and the District of Columbia Department of Banking, but approvals have not yet been received.

(ii): by either Eagle and Woodmont or Fidelity and F&T Bank, at any time after November 30, 2008, if the merger has not been consummated, unless (1) the failure of the closing to occur by that date is due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement to perform or observe the covenants or agreements of that party set forth in the merger agreement or; (2) the above date is extended in writing by all of the parties, provided, that if Fidelity or F&T Bank engages in communications in violation their covenant not to solicit or communicate with respect to Acquisition Proposals, they will not be entitled to terminate the merger pursuant to this provision;

(xi): by Eagle, if any claim or claims are asserted against Fidelity or any Fidelity subsidiary relating to any issue arising out of the operations of F&T Mortgage that individually, or in the aggregate, are material in amount or material in nature, but for which a reserve cannot be agreed upon by the parties, or determined by a third party law firm within 45 days in accordance with the merger agreement;

Effect of Termination; Termination Payments. In the event of termination of the merger agreement by either Eagle, Woodmont, Fidelity or F&T Bank, then the merger agreement becomes void and there will be no liability on the part of either Eagle, Woodmont, Fidelity or F&T Bank or their respective officers or directors, except that:

(i): certain provisions regarding confidentiality, return of documents and payment of expenses survive any such termination and abandonment;
(ii): termination will not relieve the breaching party from liability or action being taken in law or in equity by the non breaching party for any fraud, for any willful misconduct or breach of a material provision of the merger agreement giving rise to such termination, except where Eagle has received the payments described in (iii) and (iv) below;
(iii): in the event of termination of the merger agreement (a) under the termination event described at items (xii), (xiii) or by Eagle under the termination event described at (xiv) above; or (b) by Eagle and Woodmont under the termination event described at item (vi) above based on a breach of Fidelity's covenant not to solicit or communicate with respect to other Acquisition Proposals; then Fidelity shall pay $2,000,000 to Eagle within three days of termination;

(v): if the merger agreement is terminated because the shareholders of Fidelity do not approve the merger agreement and merger at the Fidelity special meeting, or pursuant to the termination event at item (ii) above and if: (1) prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly proposed (other than by Eagle or any Eagle subsidiary) or any person or entity other than Eagle or any Eagle subsidiary has publicly announced its intention to make an Acquisition Proposal, or such Acquisition Proposal or intention has otherwise become widely known to Fidelity's shareholders and (2) within 12 months following the date of such termination: (A) Fidelity or F&T Bank merges with or into, or is acquired, directly or indirectly, by merger or otherwise by, any person or entity other than Eagle or any Eagle subsidiary; (B) any person or entity other than Eagle or any Eagle subsidiary, directly or indirectly, acquires more than 50% of the total assets of Fidelity and the Fidelity subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (C) any person or entity other than Eagle or any Eagle subsidiary, directly or indirectly, acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock; or (D) Fidelity adopts or implements a plan of liquidation, recapitalization or share repurchase relating to more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Fidelity common stock or an extraordinary dividend relating to more than 50% of such

Fidelity and F&T Bank have agreed that they will cause the acquiror in respect of any Acquisition Proposal to expressly assume the obligation of Fidelity and F&T Bank to make such termination payment to Eagle, to the extent such payment has not been previously been made. The obligations of Fidelity and F&T Bank to make the termination payments and to cause the assumption of such obligation will survive the termination of the merger agreement and is binding upon Fidelity and F&T Bank and any successor or assign of Fidelity or F&T Bank.

Eagle and Fidelity have agreed that if the merger is not consummated as a result of the refusal, without cause of the other party to consummate the merger, the other party is entitled, in addition to the rights provided by under the merger agreement and its other remedies at law, to specific performance of the merger agreement, except where Eagle receives the termination payments described above. Eagle and Woodmont are entitled to receive only one termination payment.

Amendment and Waiver

Any of the terms and conditions of the merger agreement may be amended by the parties in writing, at any time before or after approval of the merger agreement by the Fidelity shareholders, except that no amendment after approval by the shareholders of Fidelity may reduce the value or change the form of consideration to be received by shareholders of Fidelity as contemplated by the merger agreement, unless such amendment is subject to the approval of Fidelity's shareholders and such approval is obtained. The parties, by action in writing, taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in the merger agreement, at any time.

Restrictions on Resale of Eagle Common Stock by Controlling Persons of Fidelity

Shares of Eagle common stock to be issued to Fidelity shareholders in the merger have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and may be traded freely and without restriction by those holders not deemed to be affiliates of Fidelity. Any subsequent transfer of shares, however, by any person who is an affiliate of Fidelity at the time the merger is submitted for a vote of Fidelity shareholders will, under existing law, require either:

•: the further registration under the Securities Act of the Eagle common stock to be transferred;
•: compliance with Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited sales under certain circumstances; or
•: the availability of another exemption from registration.

An "affiliate" of Fidelity is a person who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Fidelity. These restrictions generally are expected to apply to the directors and executive officers of Fidelity and the holders of 10% or more of Fidelity common stock, if any. The same restrictions apply to certain relatives or the spouse of those persons and any trusts, estates, corporations or other entities in which those persons have a 10% or greater beneficial or equity interest. Eagle will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the shares of Eagle common stock to be received by persons subject to these restrictions, and the certificates for their shares will be appropriately legended.

If any person who is an affiliate of Fidelity becomes an affiliate of Eagle, such person may only transfer shares in a manner permitted by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

The directors and executive officers of Fidelity and F&T Bank have executed written agreements under which they have agreed to the forgoing restrictions; and Fidelity has agreed to cause any person who becomes an affiliate of Fidelity after the date of the merger agreement to provide a similar letter to Eagle.

Dissenters' Rights

Under Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL, Fidelity shareholders have the right to object to the merger and to demand and receive "fair value" of their Fidelity common stock, determined as of the date of the meeting at which the merger is approved, without reference to any appreciation or depreciation in value resulting from the merger or its proposal. These rights are also known as dissenters' rights.

Holders of Eagle common stock do not have the right to exercise dissenters' rights in connection with the merger or the issuance of shares in connection with the merger.

Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL, which set forth the procedures a shareholder requesting payment for his or her shares must follow, is reprinted in its entirety as Appendix D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The following discussion is not a complete statement of the law relating to dissenters' rights under Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL. This discussion and Appendix D should be reviewed carefully by any Fidelity shareholder who wishes to exercise dissenters' rights or who wishes to preserve the right to do so, as failure to strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL will result in the loss of dissenters' rights.

General requirements. Sections 3-201 through 3-213 of the MGCL generally require the following:

•: Written Objection to the Proposed Transaction. Fidelity shareholders who desire to exercise their dissenters' rights must file with Fidelity, before the vote on the merger is taken at the special meeting, a written objection to the proposed transaction. A vote against the merger agreement or the merger will not satisfy such objection requirement. The written objection should be delivered or addressed to Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation, 4831 Cordell Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, Attention: J. Mercedes Alvarez.
•: Refrain from voting for or consenting to the merger proposal. If you wish to exercise your dissenters' rights, you must not vote in favor of the merger agreement or the merger. If you return a properly executed proxy that does not instruct the proxy holder to vote against or to abstain on the merger, or otherwise vote in favor of the merger agreement or the merger, your dissenters' rights will terminate, even if you previously filed a written notice of intent to demand payment. You do not have to vote against the merger in order to preserve your dissenters' rights.
•: Continuous ownership of Fidelity shares. You must continuously hold your shares of Fidelity common stock from the date you provide notice of your intent to demand payment for your shares through the closing of the merger. You will lose your right to demand fair value of your Fidelity common stock if you transfer your Fidelity common stock prior to the date the merger is completed. A demand for payment of the fair value must be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record, fully and correctly, as the holder's name appears on the holder's stock certificates. Therefore, if your Fidelity common stock is owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a broker, trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of the demand should be made in that capacity.

Eagle Written Notice. Under Section 3-207 of the MGCL, Eagle, as the successor to Fidelity, will promptly notify each objecting shareholder in writing of the date the articles of merger were accepted for record by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation. Eagle may also send a written offer to pay the objecting holders of Fidelity common stock what it considers to be the fair value of the stock. If Eagle chooses to do this, it will provide each objecting shareholder of Fidelity with: (i) a balance sheet as of a date not more than 6 months before the date of the offer; (ii) a profit and loss statement for the

12 months ending on the date of that balance sheet; and (iii) any other information Eagle considers important.

Written Demand for Payment. Within 20 days after acceptance of the articles of merger by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation, you must make a written demand on Eagle for payment of your stock that states the number and class of shares for which payment is demanded. A demand for payment of the fair value must be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record, fully and correctly, as the holder's name appears on the holder's stock certificates. Therefore, if your Fidelity common stock is owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a broker, trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of the demand should be made in that capacity. All written demands for payment of the fair value of Fidelity common stock should be delivered or addressed to Eagle Bancorp, Inc., 7815 Woodmont Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, Attention: Ronald D. Paul.

Petition for Appraisal. Within 50 days after the date the articles of merger are accepted by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, Eagle or any holder of Fidelity common stock who has complied with the statutory requirements summarized above may file a petition with a court of equity in Montgomery County, Maryland demanding a determination of the fair value of Fidelity common stock (an "appraisal"). Eagle is not obligated to, and has no present intention to, file a petition with respect to an appraisal of the fair value of Fidelity common stock. Accordingly, it is the obligation of objecting holders of Fidelity common stock to initiate all necessary action to perfect their dissenters' rights within the time period prescribed by Section 3-208 of the MGCL.

If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed, after a hearing on the petition, the court will determine the holders of Fidelity common stock that are entitled to dissenters' rights and will appoint three disinterested appraisers to determine the fair value of the Fidelity common stock on terms and conditions the court considers proper. Within 60 days after appointment (or such longer period as the court may direct), the appraisers will file with the court and mail to each party to the proceeding their report stating their conclusion as to the fair value of the stock. Within 15 days after the filing of this report, any party may object to such report and request a hearing. The court shall, upon motion of any party, enter an order either confirming, modifying, or rejecting such report and, if confirmed or modified, enter judgment directing the time within which payment shall be made. If the appraisers' report is rejected, the court may determine the fair value of the stock of the objecting shareholders or may remit the proceeding to the same or other appraisers. Any judgment entered pursuant to a court proceeding shall include interest from the date of the Fidelity shareholders' vote on the merger. Costs of the proceeding shall be determined by the court and may be assessed against Eagle or, under certain circumstances, the objecting shareholder(s), or both. The court's judgment is final and conclusive on all parties and has the same force and effect as other decrees in equity.

Fair Value. You should be aware that the fair value of your Fidelity common stock as determined under Section 3-202 of the MGCL could be more than, the same as or less than the value of the Eagle stock you would receive in the merger if you did not seek appraisal of your Fidelity common stock. You should further be aware that, if you have duly demanded the payment of the fair value of your Fidelity common stock in compliance with Section 3-203 of the MGCL, you will not, after making such demand, be entitled to vote the Fidelity common stock subject to the demand for any purpose or be entitled to, with respect to such shares of stock, the payment of dividends or other distributions payable to holders of record on a record date occurring after the close of business on the date the shareholders approved the merger and the merger agreement. Fair value may not include any appreciation or depreciation which directly or indirectly results from the transaction objected to or from its proposal.

If you fail to comply strictly with these procedures you will lose your dissenters' rights. Consequently, if you wish to exercise your dissenters' rights, we strongly urge you to consult a legal advisor before attempting to exercise your dissenters' rights.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information and explanatory notes present how the combined financial statements of Eagle and Fidelity may have appeared had the businesses actually been combined as of the dates indicated. We provide an unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet at March 31, 2008, based upon both the initial conversion ratio of 0.9202, and the preliminary, partial, estimated adjusted conversion ratio as of March 31, 2008 of 0.6867. The actual conversion ratio may be higher or lower than 0.6867, but not in excess of 0.9202 shares of Eagle common stock for each share of Fidelity common stock. We also provide unaudited pro forma income statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2008 based on both the initial conversion ratio and the estimated conversion ratio as of March 31, 2008. The unaudited pro forma combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2007 gives effect to the merger as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2007, and the unaudited pro forma combined income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2008 gives effect to the merger as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2008.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information shows the impact of the merger on the combined financial position and results of operations of Eagle and Fidelity under the purchase method of accounting with Eagle treated as the acquiror. Under this method of accounting, Eagle will record the assets and liabilities of Fidelity at their estimated fair values as of the date the merger is completed.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of both Eagle and Fidelity that are included or incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information" at page .

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of the periods presented and had the impact of possible revenue enhancements and expense efficiencies, among other factors, been considered. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma combined financial information, the allocation of the purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is subject to adjustment and will vary from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the merger based upon changes in the balance sheet including fair value estimates. Moreover, the application of the initial conversion ratio at and for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 results in pro forma presentations which we believe are potentially misleading in light of the losses incurred by Fidelity which have resulted in reduction in the conversion ratio and the minimal likelihood that the initial conversion ratio could be applicable where the assets and capital of Fidelity have undergone the deterioration they have experienced since September 30, 2007. As a result, we believe the application of the initial conversion ratio overstates the pro forma goodwill and stockholders' equity of the combined company and understates pro forma income per share. The reader should not place undue reliance on the pro forma presentations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1—Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The merger will be accounted for as an acquisition by Eagle of Fidelity using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Fidelity will be recorded at their respective fair values on the date the merger is completed.

The merger will be effected by the issuance of shares of Eagle stock ($.01 par value) to Fidelity shareholders. Each share of Fidelity common stock will be exchanged for an amount of Eagle common stock which is subject to adjustment based on various events detailed in the definitive agreement under section 2.1. At the date of announcement (December 2, 2007), the conversion ratio was 0.9202 shares of Eagle for each Fidelity share subject to reduction in accordance with the definitive agreement. This pro-forma analysis uses both an the conversion ratio at the date of announcement and a conversion ratio of 0.6867 shares computed based on adjustments permitted in the definitive agreement through March 31, 2008. See Note 5 below for a description of this adjustment. The final exchange ratio could be higher or lower than 0.6867, but not in excess of 0.9202 shares of Eagle for each outstanding share of Fidelity. The shares of Eagle common stock issued to effect the merger are assumed in this pro-forma analysis to be equal to $10.45 per share. This is the average closing sale price of Eagle common stock for the thirty trading day period ending June 11, 2008, and is deemed representative of the Eagle stock price. The final purchase price will be based on the Eagle average closing price for the five business days immediately preceding the date which is two business days before the closing date.

The pro forma financial statements include estimated adjustments to record assets and liabilities of Fidelity at their respective fair values. The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is completed and additional analyses are performed to determine the fair values of Fidelity's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the merger is completed. Changes in the fair value of the net assets of Fidelity as of the date of the merger will likely change the amount of purchase price allocable to goodwill. The further refinement of transaction costs, changes in Fidelity's shareholders' equity, including net income, asset valuations and other items identified in the definitive agreement, between March 31, 2008 and the date of the merger will further impact the amount of the purchase price and any excess purchase price recorded, as compared to this pro-forma analysis. Also impacting the final amounts will be changes to the stock price of Eagle, as noted above. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.

The pro forma financial statements for the merger included for balance sheet purposes at March 31, 2008 and assumes the transaction occurred on that date. The pro forma financial statements for the merger included for income statement purposes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2008, and assume the transaction occurred at the beginning of each of those periods, respectively.

The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the merger been completed at the beginning of the applicable periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.

Note 2—Adjustments to Equity

The table below provides the calculation of the number of shares issued and pro forma adjustment to shareholders' equity at March 31, 2008 at the 0.6867 conversion ratio updated through March 31, 2008 and the 0.9202 initial conversion ratio.

The pro forma financial statements at March 31, 2008 include adjustments to shareholders' equity for the elimination of Fidelity's accumulated other comprehensive gain of $849 thousand and the elimination of Fidelity's undivided deficit of $13.6 million. All of these amounts have been reclassified into surplus. No value has been attributed to the outstanding Fidelity stock options to be assumed upon the merger as they are all out of the money at the estimated 0.6867 conversion ratio as of March 31, 2008.

Note 3—Purchase Accounting Adjustments

The purchase accounting adjustments included in the pro forma balance sheets at March 31, 2008 include the following:

	March 31, 2008
Loan premiums (average life 5 months)	$	1,617,000
Deferred income taxes	$	691,000
Core deposit intangible (life of 7 years)	$	790,000
Time deposit premium (average life of 9 months)	$	3,329,000
Cash (estimated direct transactions costs, net of tax)	$	2,436,000

The adjustments recorded for these assets and liabilities on the merger date could vary significantly from the pro forma adjustments included herein depending on changes in interest rates and the components of the assets and liabilities. Fidelity had no previous unamortized purchase adjustments.

An analysis to determine the purchase accounting adjustment (if any) to Fidelity's property and equipment has not yet been completed. Upon completion of this analysis, adjustments may be recorded, but they are not expected to be material.

The table below identifies all pro-forma purchase accounting adjustments as well as the unidentified intangible recorded as Goodwill, computed at both the 0.6867 and 0.9202 conversion ratios at March 31, 2008.

Note 7. Direct Transaction Costs:

In connection with the merger, Eagle and Fidelity have begun to further develop their preliminary plans to consolidate the operations of Eagle and Fidelity. Over the next several months, specific details of these plans will be refined. Eagle and Fidelity are currently in the process of assessing the two companies' personnel, benefits plans, premises, equipment, computer systems and service contracts to determine where they may take advantage of redundancies or where it will be beneficial or necessary to convert to one system. Certain decisions arising from these assessments may involve canceling contracts between Fidelity and certain service providers. The costs associated with such decisions will be recorded as purchase accounting adjustments, which would have the effect of increasing the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. It is expected that all such costs be identified and recorded within six months of completion of the merger and all such actions required to effect these decisions would be taken within one year after finalization of these plans. The pro forma combined balance sheets includes a preliminary estimate of such after tax cost $2.4 million. See note 3 above for additional discussion.

The following table identifies the material non-recurring after-tax direct transaction costs and the periods in which they are expected to be incurred:

Type of Cost		Amount		Charged to Fidelity's Beginning Equity Position 12/31/07		Deducted From Additional Paid in Capital 12/31/07		Capitalized as Goodwill 12/31/07		Depreciation or Amortization Expense for the Period Ended 12/31/07		Depreciation or Amortization Expense for the Period Ended 1/1/08 - 3/31/08		Depreciation or Amortization Expense for Subsequent Periods

At March 31, 2008, Eagle had totals assets of approximately $899 million, total loans of approximately $760 million, total deposits of approximately $686 million, and total shareholders' equity of approximately $84 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, Eagle had earnings of $0.17 per diluted share. Eagle paid a dividend of $0.06 per share with respect to the first quarter of 2008.

Description of Eagle's Capital Stock

Eagle's authorized capital consists of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $.01 par value. As of , 2008, there were [9,839,164] shares of Eagle common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. There were also options, SAR's and performance based restricted stock relating to an aggregate of approximately 854,034 shares of common stock outstanding under Eagle's 1998 Stock Option Plan and 2006 Stock Plan.

Common Stock. Holders of Eagle common stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record, to receive such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds, and, subject to the rights of any class of stock having preference to the common stock, to share ratably in any distribution of Eagle's assets after payment of all debts and other liabilities, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for additional shares, and the common stock is not subject to conversion or redemption. The shares of common stock to be issued in connection with the merger will be, when issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock. Eagle's board of directors may, from time to time, by action of a majority, issue shares of the authorized, undesignated preferred stock, in one or more classes or series. In connection with any such issuance, the board may by resolution determine the designation, voting rights, preferences as to

dividends, in liquidation or otherwise, participation, redemption, sinking fund, conversion, dividend or other special rights or powers, and the limitations, qualifications and restrictions of such shares of preferred stock. As of the date hereof, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

The existence of shares of authorized undesignated preferred stock enables us to meet possible contingencies or opportunities in which the issuance of shares of preferred stock may be advisable, such as in the case of acquisition or financing transactions. Having shares of preferred stock available for issuance gives Eagle flexibility in that it would allow us to avoid the expense and delay of calling a meeting of shareholders at the time the contingency or opportunity arises. Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights or which is convertible into voting shares could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.

The existence of authorized shares of preferred stock could have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging hostile takeover attempts or of facilitating a negotiated acquisition. Such shares, which may be convertible into shares of common stock, could be issued to shareholders or to a third party in an attempt to frustrate or render a hostile acquisition more expensive.

Limitations on Payment of Dividends. The payment of dividends by Eagle will depend largely upon the ability of EagleBank to declare and pay dividends to Eagle, as the principal source of Eagle's revenue is from dividends or interest payments on capital debt securities paid by EagleBank. Dividends will depend primarily upon the bank's earnings, financial condition, and need for funds, as well as applicable governmental policies and regulations. Even where we have earnings in an amount sufficient to pay dividends, the board of directors may determine to retain earnings for the purpose of funding growth.

Regulations of the Federal Reserve and Maryland law place limits on the amount of dividends EagleBank may pay without prior approval. Prior regulatory approval is required to pay dividends which exceed the bank's net profits for the current year plus its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years, less required transfers to surplus. Federal bank regulatory agencies also have authority to prohibit a bank from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice, and the Federal Reserve Board has the same authority over bank holding companies.

The Federal Reserve Board has established guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by registered bank holding companies. Compliance with such standards, as currently in effect, or as they may be amended from time to time, could possibly limit the amount of dividends that we may pay in the future. In 1985, the Federal Reserve Board issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. In the statement, the Federal Reserve Board expressed its view that a holding company experiencing earnings weaknesses should not pay cash dividends exceeding its net income, or which could only be funded in ways that weaken the holding company's financial health, such as by borrowing. As a depository institution, the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, EagleBank may not pay dividends or distribute any of its capital assets while it remains in default on any assessment due the FDIC.

INFORMATION ABOUT FIDELITY

General

Fidelity is a Maryland corporation and registered bank holding company that was formed on July 29, 2003 for the purpose of becoming the bank holding company for F&T Bank. F&T Bank is a Maryland-chartered commercial bank, a member of the Federal Reserve System, and commenced operations on November 17, 2003. F&T Bank is the parent company of F&T Mortgage, a residential mortgage banking company, which has been operating since August 1, 2001. F&T Mortgage was acquired and became the wholly owned subsidiary of F&T Bank following a reorganization transaction, which was completed on November 13, 2003. In the reorganization transaction, the shareholders of F&T Mortgage received shares of common stock in Fidelity in exchange for their ownership interest in F&T Mortgage.

Fidelity conducts commercial banking business through F&T Bank and conducted residential mortgage loan origination business through F&T Mortgage until August 20, 2007. On that date, F&T Mortgage discontinued origination activities, sold certain assets and transferred the F&T Mortgage sales force and lending offices to a third-party purchaser. F&T Mortgage retains certain residential mortgage loans and continues to wind down its activities.

F&T Bank is a full service, community oriented-financial institution, providing general commercial and consumer banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses, professionals and consumers in our market area. F&T Bank currently has three offices in Montgomery County, Maryland, two offices in the District of Columbia and one office in Tysons Corner, Virginia. Management emphasizes local decision-making and personal relationship service to our customers.

Lending Activities

General. Our lending activities occur primarily in the areas of commercial, commercial real estate and consumer loans. F&T Bank's lending activities are primarily commercial loans, which are held to maturity with varying maturities and structures.

F&T Bank Lending Activities. F&T Bank's lending activities include commercial real estate loans, commercial non-real estate loans, construction loans, one-to-four family mortgage loans, and to a lesser extent, consumer loans. All of the loans originated by F&T Bank are held to maturity.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. Commercial real estate loans are generally secured by retail business locations, retail shopping centers, multi-family properties and industrial facilities. This category also includes commercial purpose loans secured by real estate, including one-to-four family real estate (e.g., a loan to a retail business secured by deed of trust against the business owner's residence). Commercial real estate loans have a maximum amortization of 25 years; however, they generally mature in five years. Rates on these loans can be either fixed or adjustable. The rates on adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans reset on a regular basis to a stated margin over an independent index. Loans in this category are generally written in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the underlying collateral. Commercial real estate loans (including commercial purpose loans secured by real estate) totaled $134.5 million, or 39.9% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and $133.4 million, or 41.7% of total loans at December 31, 2007.

Loans secured by commercial real estate generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by one-to-four family residences. The increased risk is due to several factors, including: the concentration of principal over a limited number of loans and borrowers; the effects of general economic conditions on income producing properties; and, the increased complexity of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the successful management of the property or the underlying business (for owner-occupied real estate). If the cash flow from the property is reduced, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired. In most instances, the risk level is mitigated by individual guarantees of the loan and/or additional collateral pledged to secure the loan. These loans generally offer a higher interest rate, which management believes justifies the increased credit risk.

Commercial Non-Real Estate Lending. Commercial loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the collateral that generally secures commercial loans has the potential to depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. Generally, commercial loans are made to closely held businesses and additional security is provided through personal guarantees from the business owner(s). Commercial loans normally have adjustable interest rates and may be interest-only lines of credit, time notes or amortizing term loans. F&T Bank's management believes that the credit and underwriting policies currently in place provide a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate these risks and to continue to extend credit of this type. Commercial loans totaled $101.0 million, or 30.0% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and $95.9 million, or 30.0% of total loans at December 31, 2007.

Construction Lending. F&T Bank makes loans to builders and developers for the construction of one-to-four and multi- family residences and the development of one-to-four and multi- family lots, as well as making loans to individuals for the construction of their residences. Construction loans totaled $75.6 million, or 22.4% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and $68.8 million or 21.5% of total loans at December 31, 2007.

Construction loans to builders of one-to-four family residences and multi-family residences require the payment of interest only, generally for up to 12 months, and normally have terms of up to 12 months. These loans may provide for the payment of loan fees from loan proceeds and have an adjustable rate of interest. F&T Bank also makes loans to builders for the purpose of developing one-to-four family home sites. These loans typically have terms of one to two years and also have an adjustable rate of interest. These loans may provide for the payment of interest and loan fees from loan proceeds. The principal on these loans is typically paid down as home sites are sold.

Construction loans on commercial real estate projects may be secured by strip shopping centers, office buildings, industrial or other property and may be converted to permanent loans at the end of the construction phase, which generally lasts up to 12 months. These construction loans have rates and terms matching other permanent commercial real estate loans then offered by F&T Bank, except that during the construction phase, the borrower pays interest only. These loans may provide for the payment of interest and loan fees from loan proceeds.

Construction and development loans are made principally through continued business with developers and builders who have established relationships, as well as new referrals from existing customers and walk-in customers. F&T Bank's application process includes a submission of accurate plans, specifications and costs of the project to be constructed or developed. Loan amounts are based on the lesser of current appraised value and/or the cost of construction (land plus building).

Construction loans to individuals for their residences are normally structured to be paid off by permanent loans at the end of the construction phase, which typically lasts 12 months. These construction loans have rates and terms that match other one-to-four family mortgage loans then offered by F&T Bank, except that for loans that extend beyond the construction phase, the borrower pays interest only during the construction period.

Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating development and construction costs and the market for the project upon completion, it is relatively difficult to ascertain accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project, the related loan-to-value ratios and the likelihood of ultimate success of the project. To help mitigate these risks, F&T Bank requires pro-forma rental cash flow and debt service coverage ratio analyses, and verification of construction progress prior to authorizing a construction draw and generally requires mechanics' lien waivers and other documents to protect and verify its lien position. Construction and development loans to borrowers other than owner-occupants also involve many of the same risks discussed above regarding multi-family and commercial real estate loans and tend to be more sensitive to general economic conditions than many other types of loans. Also, the funding of loan fees and interest during the construction phase makes monitoring a project's progress particularly important, as early warning signals of project difficulties may not be present.

One-to-Four Family Residential Lending. F&T Bank also offers loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties. These residential mortgage loans are primarily originated in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

F&T Bank originates one-to-four family revolving open-ended loans secured by the residence with up to 90% loan-to-value of the appraised value. In addition, F&T Bank originates one-to-four family mortgage loans for second homes and investment properties with up to 80% loan-to-value of the appraised value. F&T Bank evaluates both the borrower's ability to make principal and interest payments and the value of the property that will secure the loan. F&T Bank requires title opinions, title insurance, fire, casualty, and in certain cases flood insurance on all properties securing real estate loans originated.

F&T Bank holds to maturity both the fixed and adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans it originates. However, ARM loans we hold to maturity generally can pose credit risks not inherent in fixed-rate loans, primarily because if interest rates rise, the underlying payments required of the borrower rise, thereby increasing the risk of default. One-to-four family revolving open-ended and other mortgage loans held to maturity totaled $24.1 million, or 7.2% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and $20.0 million, or 6.3% of total loans at December 31, 2007.

Consumer Lending. F&T Bank offers various secured and unsecured consumer loans, including unsecured personal loans and lines of credit, automobile loans, deposit account loans, installment and demand loans, letters of credit, and home equity lines. Such loans are generally made to customers with existing relationships with F&T Bank. Consumer loans totaled $1.7 million, or 0.5% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and $1.6 million, or 0.5% of total loans at December 31, 2007.

Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of unsecured consumer loans, such as lines of credit, or loans secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any collateral that is repossessed for a defaulted loan may not provide adequate funds to repay the outstanding loan balance due to the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation of the collateral. The underwriting standards employed by F&T Bank for consumer loans include a review of the applicant's payment history on other debts 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, combined with funds available from verifiable secondary income sources. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes an analysis of the value of the collateral in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Unfunded Commitments. In the normal course of business, F&T Bank makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities, which are disclosed in the footnotes of its financial statements, including commitments to extend credit. Unfunded commitments to extend credit totaled $98.1 million at March 31, 2008 and $104.0 million at December 31, 2007.

Loan Approval Procedures

F&T Bank. The board of directors establishes the lending policies and loan approval limits of F&T Bank. In accordance with those policies, the board of directors has designated certain officers to consider and approve loans within their designated authority.

Loan authorities are determined by the loan policy adopted by the board of directors. Currently, lending authorities for one-to-four family loans are assigned to individuals with varying amounts based on the level of responsibility of the individual within the organization. The maximum loan that may be approved by any one individual is $500,000. For loans in excess of $500,000 but less than $800,000, approval is required from the Officer Loan Committee, comprised of management representatives. Loans in excess of $800,000 must be approved by the Director's Loan Committee, which includes board and management representatives. F&T Bank's loan policy considers the potential borrower's aggregate credit exposure in determining the authorization required for loan approvals. In addition, F&T Bank has established a general guideline for a maximum credit exposure equal to 80% of the legal lending limit.

Asset Quality

Delinquent Loans. Reports listing all delinquent accounts are generated and reviewed by management daily and the Directors Loan Committee bi-weekly, and overall delinquencies are reviewed by the board of directors monthly. The procedures applied by F&T Bank with respect to delinquencies vary depending on the nature of the loan, period and cause of delinquency and whether the borrower is habitually delinquent. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, a written notice of non-payment is generally sent to the borrower. Telephone, written correspondence and/or face-to-face contact is attempted to ascertain the reasons for delinquency and the prospects of repayment upon a loan becoming 30 days past due. When contact is made with the borrower at any time prior to foreclosure, attempts are made to obtain full payment, to offer to structure a repayment schedule with the borrower to avoid foreclosure, or in some instances, to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure or other legal action. Management will ascertain the borrower's capacity to pay the loan, any secondary source of repayment and determine whether the loan should be placed in nonaccrual status. In the event a loan becomes 90 days

past due, the loan will be placed in nonaccrual status unless it is well secured and in the process of collection.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations and our internal policies require that an internal asset classification system be used as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. In accordance with regulations we currently classify problem and potential problem assets as "Substandard," "Doubtful" or "Loss" assets. An asset is considered Substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as Doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, make the collection or liquidation in full highly questionable. Assets classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets, without the establishment of a specific loss allowance, is not warranted. Assets that do not currently possess a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated "Special Mention."

When we classify one or more assets, or portions thereof, as Substandard or Doubtful, it is required that we establish an allowance for probable loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management as long as the loss of principal is probable and estimable. When one or more assets, or portions thereof, are classified as Loss we are required to charge off such amount. A specific allowance may be established prior to the loan being charged off where circumstances exist that make determining the amount of the loss difficult.

Our determination as to the classification of assets and the amount of valuation allowances is subject to review by the State of Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation (the "Commissioner") and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, who can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") has adopted an interagency policy statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("ALLL"). The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of prudent, conservative, but not excessive ALLL in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in determining the adequacy of general valuation allowances. Generally, the policy statement recommends that institutions have effective systems and controls in place to identify, monitor and address the ALLL; that management has analyzed and documented all significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and that management has established acceptable ALLL evaluation and disclosure processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement. While management believes that it has established an adequate allowance for probable loan losses, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request a material increase in the allowance for probable loan losses, thereby negatively affecting our financial condition and earnings at that time. Although management believes that adequate specific and general loan loss allowances have been established, future provisions are dependent upon future events such as loan growth, portfolio diversification, and general economic trends, and as such, further additions to the level of specific and general loan loss allowances may become necessary.

Management reviews and classifies assets, in accordance with the guidelines described above, on a monthly basis and the Credit Quality Committee, comprised of board and management representatives, reviews the results of the reports on a quarterly basis. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $7 million and $10.3 million, respectively, in assets designated as Special Mention, consisting primarily of commercial and commercial real estate loans. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $10.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in assets designated as Substandard, consisting primarily of commercial real estate loans. Assets classified as Doubtful at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,

totaled $472,000 and $222,000, respectively. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we did not have loans classified as Loss that had not been charged off.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management's assessment of the estimated probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio that have been incurred at each balance sheet date. All lending activity contains associated risks of loan losses. At March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses totaled 1.03% of gross loans outstanding as compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2007. The increase in the percentage was primarily related to the softening of the real estate market. At March 31, 2008 total net charge-offs were $36,000 as compared to net charge offs of $37,000 at March 31, 2007. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $311,000 as compared to $343,000 at March 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses totaled 1.00% of gross loans outstanding as compared to 1.10% at December 31, 2006. The decrease in the percentage was primarily related to the recognition during 2007 of losses that were identified and allocated for during 2006. Total net charge-offs for fiscal 2007 were $816,000 as compared to net charge-offs of $29,000 for the fiscal 2006 year. The provision for loan losses for fiscal 2007 was $1.9 million as compared to $671,000 for the fiscal 2006 year.

Management analyzes the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses regularly through reviews of the performance of the loan portfolio considering economic conditions, changes in interest rates and the effect of such changes on real estate values and changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term and is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in our loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that management believes warrants recognition in providing for an appropriate allowance for loan losses. Additionally, we utilize an outside party to conduct an independent review of non-real estate commercial and commercial real estate loans. Future additions to the allowance for loan losses will depend on these factors among others. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Based on the variables involved and the fact that management must make judgments about outcomes that are uncertain, the determination of the allowance for loan losses is considered to be a critical accounting policy.

Other Real Estate Owned. At March 31, 2008, we owned no Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) property. At December 31, 2007, we owned one OREO property with a net book value of $395,000. When property is acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is initially recorded at the lower of the fair value of the related assets at the date of foreclosure or the carrying value of the loan, less estimated costs to sell the property. Any initial loss is recorded as a charge to the allowance for loan losses before being transferred to OREO. Thereafter, if there is a further deterioration in value, a specific valuation allowance is established and charged to operations. We reflect actual costs to carry OREO as period costs in operations when incurred.

Loans Held for Sale. Fidelity operated a mortgage company and originated residential loans until August 20, 2007 when its mortgage company ceased operations. Loans originated and intended for sale into the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, determined on an aggregate loan basis. Estimated fair value is determined by outstanding commitments from investors and/or bids obtained on the secondary market. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to operations. The carrying amount of loans held for sale includes principal balances, valuation allowances, origination premiums or discounts and fees and direct costs that are deferred at the time of origination.

At March 31, 2008, Fidelity reported total loans held for sale of $10.2 million, net of lower of cost or market adjustment of $4.9 million, as compared to total loans held for sale of $11.9 million, net of lower cost or market adjustment of $4.5 million as of December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007 Fidelity reported total loans held for sale of $11.9 million, net of lower of cost or market adjustment of $4.5 million as compared to total loans held for sale of $139.3 million, net of lower cost or market adjustment of $161,000 at December 31, 2006. The loans held for sale are ALT-A category loans. At origination, the borrowers had good credit scores, however, the underwriting included higher loan-to-value and debt to income ratios than conforming loans or have inadequate documentation of the borrowers' income. At December 31, 2007 first trust mortgage loans held for sale are $9.0 million or 75.8% of the total loans held for sale. The remaining loans were second trust loans in the amount of $2.9 million and are typically 20% financing. The loans held for sale portfolio did not have any loans classified as non-performing as of December 31, 2007. Fidelity accounts for the costs and fees of mortgage loans held for sale pursuant to SFAS No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, which requires the deferral of loan origination fees and direct loan costs over the estimated life of the loans for loans originated and not sold as of the end of the year. Fidelity has deferred the fees and costs attributed to these loans and will recognize them at the time of the sale of the loans.

On August 20, 2007, Fidelity ceased operating its mortgage company with the sale of certain assets and leases related to its branch origination system. Subsequent to that transaction, Fidelity has been in the process of selling the remaining loans held for sale portfolio. Loans held for sale at August 20, 2007 were $75 million, net of adjustments, compared to $10.2 million, net, as of March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, loans held for sale classified as non-performing were $1.1 million.

Investment Activities

The board of directors and its Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO") approve the investment policies and procedures and monitor all securities-related activity. The policies generally provide that investment decisions will be made based on the safety of the investment and its ability to provide liquidity, collateral for pledging purposes and reasonable after-tax income. In pursuing these policy objectives, management considers the ability of an investment to provide earnings consistent with factors of quality, maturity, marketability and risk diversification. Management evaluates all investment activities for safety and soundness and adherence to policies. In accordance with these investment policies, we do not purchase mortgage-related securities that are deemed to be "high risk," and we do not purchase bonds that are not rated investment grade.

Mortgage-backed securities are created by the pooling of mortgages and issuance of a security. Mortgage-backed securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multifamily mortgages. Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual principal prepayments will be greater or less than estimated prepayments over the life of the security. Prepayment estimates for mortgage-backed securities are prepared at purchase to ensure that prepayment assumptions are reasonable considering the underlying collateral for the mortgage-backed securities at issue and current mortgage interest rates and to determine the yield and estimated maturity of the mortgage-backed security portfolio. Prepayments that are faster than anticipated may shorten the life of the security and may result in faster amortization of any premiums paid and thereby reduce the net yield on such securities. During periods of declining mortgage interest rates, refinancing generally increases and accelerates the prepayment of the underlying mortgages and the related security.

As F&T Bank's assets increased through the collection of customer deposits, its investment securities portfolio was established with excess funds beyond those invested in loans and overnight funds. The investment portfolio is comprised primarily of U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities, including government agency and government sponsored enterprises (FHLMC, FLHB, FNMA or GNMA) issues. F&T Bank's investment strategy has been to purchase short term investments or

investments with amortizing principal payments with excess customer deposits as deposit growth exceeded loan growth in 2005 and 2006. This strategy allowed F&T Bank to increase earnings beyond the overnight funds rate and provide liquidity for loan growth as it occurred in 2006 and 2007. F&T Bank also invests in callable agency securities, which in the current declining interest rate environment, provides liquidity as securities are called to reinvest in portfolio loan growth. The growth in the investment portfolio slowed as loan growth exceeded deposit growth in 2007.

During the first quarter of 2008, the investment portfolio decreased $5.0 million, or 5%, to $85.7 million, as proceeds of maturities and calls of government agency securities were reinvested in portfolio loans. In 2007, the investment portfolio increased $7.1 million or 9%, from $83.6 million at December 31, 2006 to $90.7 million at December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily in mortgage-backed securities as some agency securities were called and reinvested in mortgage-backed securities to bring the asset mix closer to an even mix between agency and mortgage-backed securities. The investment portfolio increased $27.2 million or 48%, from $56.4 million at December 31, 2005 to $83.6 million at December 31, 2006 as deposit growth exceeded loan growth. The investment growth was in both agency and mortgage-backed securities to mitigate some of the call risk in the portfolio.

The current investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. government agency securities (41%) and agency mortgage-backed securities (57%) with a combined average life of 3.5 years. The remaining securities are equity investments, some of which are required by regulatory mandates (Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stocks), and the balance representing equities of a few community based bankers banks.

The following table sets forth information concerning the investment portfolio at the dates indicated. The information in the table is derived from the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. All of F&T Bank's investment securities are designated as available for sale and therefore are carried at their fair values. Additional information concerning the investment portfolio is contained in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sources of Funds

General. The primary sources of funds are customer deposits and repurchase agreements, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, borrowings, and funds generated from operations of F&T Bank. F&T Bank also has access to advances from federal fund purchase lines. Contractual loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows, loan prepayments and security calls and principal payments on mortgage-backed securities are significantly influenced by general market interest rates and economic conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis for liquidity purposes or on a long-term basis to fund asset growth.

Deposits. F&T Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms consisting of non-interest and interest checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and certificate of deposit accounts.

F&T Bank has a significant portion of its deposits in core deposits. Management monitors activity on its core deposits, and based on historical experience and the current pricing strategy, believes it will continue to retain a large portion of such accounts. F&T Bank is not limited with respect to the rates it may offer on deposit products. Management believes F&T Bank is competitive in the types of accounts and interest rates it offers on its deposit products. Management regularly evaluates the internal cost of funds, surveys rates offered by competitors, reviews cash flow requirements for lending and liquidity and executes rate changes when necessary as part of its asset/liability management, profitability and growth objectives.

As an enhancement to the basic non-interest-bearing demand deposit account, F&T Bank offers a sweep account, or "customer repurchase agreement", allowing qualifying businesses to earn interest on short-term excess funds which are not suited for either a certificate of deposit or a money market account. Customer repurchase agreements are not deposits and are not insured but are collateralized by U.S. government agency or mortgage-backed securities. These accounts are particularly suitable to businesses with significant fluctuation in the levels of cash flows. Attorney and title company escrow accounts are examples of accounts which can benefit from this product, as are customers who may require collateral for deposits in excess of $100,000 but do not qualify for other pledging arrangements. This program requires F&T Bank to maintain a sufficient investment securities level to accommodate the fluctuations in balances which may occur in these accounts.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market rates, prevailing interest rates and competition. F&T Bank's deposits are obtained predominantly from the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. F&T Bank relies primarily on customer service, its relationships and other banking services, including loans, to attract and retain these deposits. However, market interest rates and rates offered by competing financial institutions affect F&T Bank's ability to attract and retain deposits. F&T Bank uses traditional means of advertising its deposit products, including print media.

Borrowings. F&T Bank has access to additional funds by borrowing federal funds from its correspondent banks. These borrowings are short-term in nature. Average federal fund borrowings for 2007 the first quarter of 2008 totaled $1.9 million, as compared to $267,000 for the first quarter of 2007 with no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2008 or 2007. Average federal fund borrowings for the year ended December 31, totaled $386,000 with no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2007. F&T Bank may use borrowings in the future to fund asset growth, and as a result, may experience an increase in funding costs.

At March 31, 2008, Fidelity maintained a $9 million revolving line of credit with EagleBank which is secured by Fidelity's stock in F&T Bank. Fidelity had $3 million outstanding under this line at December 31, 2007. The line was increased $2 million during the first quarter of 2008. The interest rate on the line is prime minus 0.25% and the line expires on September 29, 2008. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the interest rate on the line was 5% and 7%, respectively. The line is expected to be paid in full at the time of the merger with Eagle Bancorp, Inc.

F&T Mortgage maintained a warehouse facility with RFC, at various commitment levels, to fund mortgage loan originations. The warehouse facility agreement was a committed facility with a term of one year (expiring October 31, 2007), and was renewable annually. The warehouse facility was secured by the mortgage loans owned by F&T Mortgage, mortgage loans in the custody, possession or control of the lender for purposes of a pledge for advances made to F&T Mortgage by the lender including all related rights thereto, the amounts advanced to F&T Mortgage to fund mortgage loans, and certain of F&T Mortgage's other assets. Fidelity and F&T Bank were guarantors of the obligations of F&T Mortgage under the RFC warehouse facility. Advances drawn under these warehouse facilities bear interest at a rate that varied depending on the type of mortgage loans securing the advances.

The warehouse facility was subject to, among other requirements, sub-limits, advance rates and certain terms that varied depending on the type of mortgage loans securing the financing and the ratio of F&T Mortgage's liabilities to total tangible net worth. There were several covenants under the warehouse facilities, including requiring F&T Mortgage to meet amounts of modified tangible net worth and liquid assets and leverage ratios.

On August 20, 2007, at the time of the sale of certain assets of F&T Mortgage and the transfer of the F&T Mortgage sales force and branch locations to the third-party purchaser, there was a balance of $47 million on the RFC warehouse line. As mortgage loans were sold to investors, the line was paid down until October 4, 2007, when F&T Bank purchased the line of credit from RFC, including the security interest in the remaining underlying loans held for sale.

Competition

F&T Bank's main office and the headquarters of Fidelity and F&T Bank is located at 4831 Cordell Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. F&T Bank has two additional Maryland offices, located at 130 Rollins Avenue, Rockville and 8301 Fenton Street, Silver Spring. There are two offices in Washington D.C., located at 1725 Eye Street, NW and 1044 Wisconsin Avenue, NW. There is one office in Virginia, located at 8601 Westwood Center Drive, Vienna.

The primary service area of F&T Bank is the Washington D.C. metropolitan statistical area. The Washington, D.C. metropolitan statistical area attracts a substantial federal workforce, as well as supporting a variety of support industries such as attorneys, lobbyists, government contractors, real estate developers and investors, non-profit organizations, tourism and consultants.

Montgomery County, Maryland with a total population of approximately 962,000 and occupying an area of about 500 square miles is located roughly 30 miles southwest of Baltimore and is a diverse and healthy segment of Maryland's economy. Montgomery County is a thriving business center and is Maryland's most populous jurisdiction. While the State of Maryland boasts a demographic profile superior

to the U.S. economy at large, the economy in and around Montgomery County is among the very best in Maryland. According to data from the Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission, the number of jobs in the County has increased about 1-2% per year in the recent past to approximately 509,000 (2006), with the public sector contributing about 25% of this total (2005 census update). According to the 2007 Economic Forces Report for Montgomery County, job growth slowed due mainly to declines in consumer related industries such as hotels and merchandise stores. The unemployment rate in Montgomery County is among the lowest in the state at 2.5% (December 2007). A very educated population has contributed to favorable median household income of $91,641 (2006) and average single family new and used home sales prices of $485,000 (2006). According to the 2005 census update, approximately 64% of the County's residents hold college or advanced degrees, placing Montgomery County among the most educated in the nation. The area boosts a diverse business climate with a strong federal government presence, a substantial technology sector, a housing construction and renovation sector, and a legal, financial services and professional services sector. According to the 2007 Economic Forces Report for Montgomery County, the market for commercial office space improved from March 2006 to March 2007, increasing to 26.9 million square feet from 26.6 million, and the overall Class A office vacancy rate was about 6.62%. There was about 1.6 million square feet of office space under construction in mid 2006 for delivery in 2007. Developers and leasing agents have proposed 890,000 square feet of space for completion in 2008. Class A office rents in Montgomery County have been much less volatile than in some other markets in the region. The county is also an incubator for firms engaged in bio-technology and the area is attracting significant venture capital. Transportation congestion remains the biggest threat to future economic development and the quality of life in the area.

Washington D.C. in addition to being the seat of the Federal government is a vibrant city with a well educated, diverse population. Over the last eight years the total population has grown to approximately 580,000. Median household income, at $49,549, is above the national median level. The growth of residents in the city is due partially to improvements in the city' services and also to the many housing options available, ranging from grand old apartment buildings to Federal era town homes to the most modern condominiums. Over the last few years the housing market has grown to over 275,000 units. While the Federal government and its employees are a major factor in the economy, over 100 million square feet of commercial office space supports a dynamic business community of more than 20,000 companies. These include law and accounting firms, trade and professional associations, information technology companies, international financial institutions, health and education organizations and research and management companies. Employment in the city has been growing at an annual rate of 5.4% and currently stands at 775,000. This is a well educated and highly paid work force. Over 51% of the jobs in the city are in managerial or professional positions. The Federal Government provides just about 25% of the employment and there is another 18% in professional services firms. Other large employers include the many local universities and hospitals. Another significant factor in the economy is the leisure and hospitality industry.

Montgomery County is home to many major federal and private sector research and development and regulatory agencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Institutes of Health, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Naval Research and Development Center, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda.

Deregulation of financial institutions and holding company acquisitions of banks across state lines has resulted in widespread, fundamental changes in the financial services industry. This transformation, although occurring nationwide, is particularly intense in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area because of the changes in the area's economic base in recent years and changing state laws authorizing interstate mergers and acquisitions of banks, and the interstate establishment or acquisition of branches.

Throughout the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, competition is exceptionally keen from large banking institutions headquartered outside of Maryland. In addition, F&T Bank competes with other

community banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage companies, finance companies and others providing financial services. Among the advantages that many of these large institutions have over F&T Bank are their abilities to finance extensive advertising campaigns, maintain extensive branch networks and technology investments, and to directly offer certain services, such as international banking and trust services, which are not offered directly by F&T Bank. Further, the greater capitalization of the larger institutions allows for substantially higher lending limits than F&T Bank. Certain of these competitors have other advantages, such as tax exemption in the case of credit unions, and lesser regulation in the case of mortgage companies and finance companies.

Personnel

At March 31, 2008, Fidelity and its subsidiaries had 88 full-time equivalent employees, seven of whom are executive officers of F&T Bank, as compared to 92 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2007. There were no employees who worked on a part-time basis.

The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit and management considers the relationship with the employees to be good. F&T Bank provides a comprehensive employee benefits program that includes medical and dental insurance, life insurance, and short- and long-term disability insurance.

Fidelity maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan. Under the Plan, employees may contribute a percentage or dollar amount of their annual salary, subject to statutory limitations. Fidelity may make discretionary contributions to the Plan.

Subsidiary

Fidelity has one wholly owned subsidiary, F&T Bank. F&T Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary, F&T Mortgage. On August 20, 2007, some of the assets of F&T Mortgage were sold to a third party and the operations of the subsidiary were shortly thereafter discontinued. On September 11, 2007, the last residential mortgage loan was originated and funded. Through the remainder of the third quarter of 2007 and during the fourth quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2008, loans held for sale were systematically sold and as of March 31, 2008, the unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale totaled $14,990,552. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fidelity, F&T Bank and F&T Mortgage. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Depository Institution Regulation.

General. F&T Bank is a Maryland commercial bank and its deposit accounts are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). F&T Bank also is a member of the Federal Reserve System. F&T Bank is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Commissioner, the Federal Reserve Board, Maryland and federal statutory and regulatory provisions governing such matters as capital standards, mergers and establishment of branch offices, and it is subject to the FDIC's authority to conduct special examinations. F&T Bank is required to file reports with the Commissioner and the Federal Reserve Board concerning its activities and financial condition and is required to obtain regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions, including mergers with, or acquisitions of, other depository institutions.

The system of regulation and supervision applicable to F&T Bank establishes a comprehensive framework for the operations of F&T Bank and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC and the depositors of F&T Bank. Changes in the regulatory framework could have a material effect on F&T Bank and its operations that in turn, could have a material adverse effect on Fidelity.

Business Activities. The Commissioner regulates F&T Bank's internal organization as well as its deposit, lending and investment activities. The basic authority for the Bank's activities is specified by

100

Maryland law. Additionally, Maryland law contains a parity statute by which Maryland commercial banks may, with the approval of the Commissioner, engage in any additional activity, service or practice permitted for national banks.

The Federal Reserve and FDIC also regulate many of the areas regulated by the Commissioner and federal law may limit some of the authority provided to the Bank by Maryland law. Approval of the Commissioner and the Federal Reserve is required for, among other things, business combinations and the establishment of branch offices.

Holding Company. Fidelity, as the sole shareholder of F&T Bank, is a bank holding company and is registered as such with the Federal Reserve Board. Bank holding companies are subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"), and the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board also has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to require that a holding company divest subsidiaries (including its bank subsidiaries). In general, enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of law and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.

Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain Federal Reserve Board approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. In evaluating such applications, the Federal Reserve Board considers a variety of financial, managerial and competitive factors.

The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities which, by statute or by Federal Reserve Board regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks. The list of activities includes, among other things, operating a savings institution, mortgage company, finance company, credit card company or factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing certain investment and financial advice; real estate and personal property appraising; providing tax planning and preparation services; and, subject to certain limitations, providing securities brokerage services for customers.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 authorized bank holding companies that meet certain management, capital and other criteria to choose to become a "financial holding company" and thereby engage in a broader array of financial activities including insurance underwriting and investment banking. Fidelity has not, up to now, opted to become a financial holding company.

Capital Requirements. F&T Bank is subject to Federal Reserve Board capital requirements, as well as statutory capital requirements imposed under Maryland law. Federal Reserve Board regulations establish two capital standards for state-chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System ("state member banks"): a leverage requirement and a risk-based capital requirement. In addition, the Federal Reserve may, on a case-by-case basis, establish individual minimum capital requirements for a bank that vary from the requirements that would otherwise apply under Federal Reserve Board regulations. A bank that fails to satisfy the capital requirements established under the Federal Reserve Board's regulations will be subject to such administrative action or sanctions as the Federal Reserve Board deems appropriate.

The Leverage Ratio adopted by the Federal Reserve Board requires a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to adjusted total assets of 3% for the most highly rated banks. Banks receiving ratings other than

101

the highest rating are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to adjusted total assets of at least 4%. Additional capital may be necessary for institutions with supervisory, financial, operational or managerial weaknesses, as well as institutions experiencing significant growth. For purposes of the Federal Reserve Board's leverage requirement, Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common stockholders' equity, certain perpetual preferred stock (which must be noncumulative with respect to banks), and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries; less most intangible assets, except for specified servicing assets and purchased credit card receivables and other specified deductions.

The risk-based capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board's regulations require state member banks to maintain total capital equal to at least 8% of total risk-weighted assets. For purposes of the risk-based capital requirement, total capital means Tier 1 Capital (as described above) plus Tier 2 Capital (as described below), provided that the amount of Tier 2 Capital may not exceed the amount of Tier 1 Capital, less certain assets. Tier 2 Capital elements include, subject to certain limitations, the allowance for losses on loans and leases, perpetual preferred stock that does not qualify for Tier 1 and long-term preferred stock with an original maturity of at least 20 years from issuance, hybrid capital instruments, including perpetual debt and mandatory convertible securities, and subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock and up to 45% of unrealized gains on equity securities. Total risk-weighted assets generally are determined under the Federal Reserve Board's regulations, which establish four risk categories, with general risk weights of 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%, based on the risk believed inherent to the type of loan involved.

In addition, the Bank is subject to the statutory capital requirements imposed by the State of Maryland. Under Maryland statutory law, if the surplus of a Maryland commercial bank at any time is less than 100% of its capital stock, then, until the surplus is 100% of the capital stock, the commercial bank: (i) must transfer to its surplus annually at least 10% of its net earnings; and (ii) may not declare or pay any cash dividends that exceed 90% of its net earnings.

The table below provides information with respect to the Bank's compliance with its regulatory capital requirements at the dates indicated.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), the federal banking regulators are required to take prompt corrective action if an insured depository institution fails to satisfy certain minimum capital requirements. All institutions, regardless of their capital levels, are restricted from making any capital distribution or paying any management fees if the institution would thereafter fail to satisfy the minimum levels for any of its capital requirements. An institution that fails to meet the minimum level for any relevant capital measure (an "undercapitalized institution") may be, among other things, subject to increased monitoring by the appropriate federal banking regulator, required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan within 45 days and are subject to asset growth limits. The capital restoration plan must include a guarantee by the institution's holding company that the institution will comply with the plan until it has been adequately capitalized on average for four consecutive quarters, under which the holding company would be liable up to the lesser of 5% of the institution's total assets or the amount necessary to bring the institution into capital compliance as of the date it failed to comply with its capital restoration plan. A "significantly undercapitalized" institution, as well as any undercapitalized institution that did not submit an acceptable capital restoration plan, may be subject to regulatory demands for recapitalization, broader application of restrictions on transactions with affiliates, limitations on interest rates paid on deposits, asset growth and other activities, possible replacement of directors and officers, and restrictions on capital distributions by any bank holding company controlling the institution. Any company controlling the institution could also be required to divest the institution or the institution could be required to divest subsidiaries. In their discretion, the federal banking regulators may also impose the foregoing sanctions on an undercapitalized institution if the regulators determine that such actions are necessary to carry out the purposes of the prompt corrective action provisions. If an institution's ratio of tangible capital to total assets falls below a "critical capital level," the institution will be subject to conservatorship or receivership within 90 days unless periodic determinations are made that forbearance from such action would better protect the deposit insurance fund. Unless appropriate findings and certifications are made by the appropriate federal bank regulatory agencies, a critically undercapitalized institution must be placed in receivership if it remains critically undercapitalized on average during the calendar quarter beginning 270 days after the date it became critically undercapitalized.

For purposes of these restrictions, an "undercapitalized institution" is a depository institution that has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio less than 8.0%; or (ii) a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 4.0%; or (iii) a leverage ratio of less than 4.0% (or less than 3.0% if the institution has the highest regulatory rating). A "significantly undercapitalized" institution is defined as a depository institution that has: (i) a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 6.0%; or (ii) a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 3.0%; or (iii) a Leverage Ratio of less than 3.0%. A "critically undercapitalized" institution is defined as a depository institution that has a ratio of "tangible equity" to total assets of less than 2.0%. The appropriate federal banking agency may reclassify a well capitalized depository institution as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized or undercapitalized institution to comply with the supervisory actions applicable to institutions in the next lower capital category (but may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically under-capitalized) if it determines, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or that the institution has received and not corrected a less-than-satisfactory rating for any examination rating category. At March 31, 2008, the Bank was classified as adequately capitalized under prompt corrective action rules.

Deposit Insurance Premiums. Pursuant to deposit insurance reform legislation, in December 2006, the FDIC adopted a new risk based assessment system for determining deposit insurance premiums. Under the new requirements, four risk categories (I-IV), each subject to different premium rates, are established, based upon an institution's status as well-capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized, and the institution's supervisory rating. Under the new rules, all insured depository institutions will pay deposit insurance premiums, currently ranging between 5 and 7 basis points on an institution's assessment base for institutions in risk category I (well capitalized institutions perceived as posing the least risk to the insurance fund), and 10, 28 and 43 basis points for institutions in risk

103

categories II, III, and IV. The level of rates is subject to periodic adjustment by the FDIC. F&T Bank's current assessment level is risk category II.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for statements on New Accounting Standards.

Federal Securities Law

Shares of Fidelity's common stock are not publicly traded and there is no public market for the common stock. Further, shares of Fidelity's common stock are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and there are restrictions on stockholders ability to trade the common stock.

Federal and State Taxation

The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Fidelity.

Fidelity is subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which subjects corporations to an income tax generally calculated at 34% of taxable income. Fidelity, F&T Bank and F&T Mortgage file a consolidated federal income tax return.

F&T Bank is subject to Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia corporate franchise taxes. F&T Bank computes its franchise taxes based on its adjusted net worth. F&T Mortgage is subject to corporate income or franchise taxes in those states in which it conducts business.

Properties

At March 31, 2008, the net book value of Fidelity's investments in premises and equipment totaled $3.7 million, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2007.

Legal Proceedings

Various legal claims can arise from time to time in the normal course of business. There were no significant asserted claims or assessments that management believes could result in a material impact to the results of operations or financial condition of Fidelity at the balance sheet date. In connection with the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations, several mortgage loan purchasers have entered into actions against F&T Mortgage in connection with certain mortgage loan sales. Based on the opinions of counsel, results of those actions would be restricted to F&T Mortgage only. The total range of loss, if any, is not known at this time however, reserves of $160,000 have been established by F&T Mortgage for some of these claims.

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

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of Fidelity and its subsidiary, F&T Bank and its subsidiary, F&T Mortgage. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation, which can be found later in this registration statement.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Fidelity's revenue has been generated from two primary sources: net interest income from F&T Bank and non-interest income from F&T Mortgage. F&T Bank's net interest income represents interest and dividends earned on interest-earning assets, primarily client loans, reduced by interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily client deposits. F&T Mortgage's non-interest income represents gains on sales of residential mortgage loans originated by F&T Mortgage. Both net interest income and gains on sales of mortgage loans are significantly affected by general economic conditions and policies of regulatory authorities.

When F&T Bank commenced operations in late 2003, F&T Mortgage had been in operation for two years and was originating $598 million in residential mortgage loans. A de novo banking institution, such as F&T Bank, typically requires two to three years to reach consistent profitability, however F&T Bank became profitable within 18 months of its inception. By the end of 2005, F&T Mortgage was generating $1.3 billion in mortgage loan production with $18.8 million in gains in sales of loans and F&T Bank was $291 million in total assets with $6.0 million in net interest income. Fidelity earned $1.8 million in 2005.

By mid 2006, the mortgage industry had begun its significant downturn with a substantial decrease in home purchases, the emergence of credit quality concerns and a fall-out in the mortgage investor markets. F&T Mortgage loan origination declined to $1.1 billion, loan programs under which mortgage loans had been originated were closed, the declining interest rate environment lowered net interest margins and gains on loan sales decreased and F&T Mortgage experienced a net loss of $1.5 million. F&T Bank, on the other hand, achieved significant growth and improved earnings in 2006. F&T Bank originated over $180 million in commercial loans, resulting in net new loan growth of 55%. That growth was funded by deposit growth of 43% from strengthening existing client relationships and the opening of two new branches. Despite the lowest industry-wide net interest margins in a quarter of a century, F&T Bank's earnings improved to $1.8 million, thus offsetting the losses incurred by F&T Mortgage.

With continued mortgage industry turmoil and the limitations on capital to continue to grow F&T Bank while sustaining increased losses from F&T Mortgage, the decision was made in early 2007 to sell certain assets of F&T Mortgage and cease its residential mortgage loan origination operations. A buyer was found to absorb the existing F&T Mortgage loan origination branches and personnel into their larger organization; however, with the continuing deterioration in the mortgage market and the significant changes in the mortgage investor market, the buyer was unwilling to purchase the existing F&T Mortgage pipeline and loans held for sale. The asset sale occurred on August 20, 2007 and the wind-down and sale of the remaining assets of F&T Mortgage continues into 2008. Significant losses were incurred as mortgage loans were sold and remaining loans were subject to credit quality deterioration. Losses from the discontinued F&T Mortgage operations for 2007 totaled $14.3 million. Despite the distraction of the F&T Mortgage wind-down, F&T Bank continued to grow at a significant rate, increasing its loan portfolio by 64% to $319 million at December 31, 2007. That growth was funded by client deposit growth and the reduction of the warehouse line F&T Bank had extended to F&T Mortgage. However, earnings of F&T Bank actually declined due to continued financial market disruptions and the resulting steep decline in market interest rates, particularly the prime rate on which most of F&T Bank's loan portfolio is based. F&T Bank's balance sheet is asset sensitive, with more assets adjusting to changes in interest rates than

109

liabilities, thus rate declines of 100 basis points from September to December, 2007 had a negative impact on 2007 net interest margin and earnings. F&T Bank also opened two branches in 2007, thus incurring immediate personnel and overhead expenses while earnings from these locations will be realized in future periods as they grow in their respective markets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, Fidelity reported a net loss of $785,000, a decrease of $550,000 from the net loss of $235,000 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Losses per basic and diluted share were $0.19 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, with losses of $0.04 per share from continuing operations and losses of $0.15 per share from discontinued operations. That compares to losses of $0.06 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2007, with earnings of $0.10 per share from continuing operations and losses of $0.16 per share from discontinued operations.

The increase in losses during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 is the result of the decline in net interest margin from 3.78% to 3.24%, increased operating expenses from branch openings in June and September 2007 and increased expenses to continuing operations from the continued wind-down of F&T Mortgage. The 200 basis point drop in prime during the first quarter of 2008 had a significant impact on F&T Bank's net interest income as assets, primarily adjustable rate loans, re-priced immediately with every change in interest rates and deposit rates re-priced but at a slower rate due to competitive pressures. With certificates of deposit representing approximately 50% of total deposits and customer repurchase agreements, F&T Bank did not have the opportunity to re-price a significant portion of its funding base.

Compensation, occupancy and depreciation costs increased when comparing the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2007 from the expansion of our branch network from 4 to 6 branches in the last half of 2007. Legal and professional fees and other shared costs which had been allocated between F&T Bank and F&T Mortgage before the discontinuation of mortgage operations in September 2007 are now borne by F&T Bank and are reflected in the increase in other continuing non-interest expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. Losses continue from the wind-down of mortgage operations with pre-tax losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreasing to $610,000 from pre-tax losses of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance as of December 31, 2007 for F&T Mortgage's deferred tax asset prevents the recording of an income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2008 with the result that first quarter 2008 losses from discontinued operations of $610,000 are comparable to the first quarter 2007 losses of $649,000. Progress continues to be made in completing the wind-down of F&T Mortgage while management continues to focus on the growth and profitability of F&T Bank.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, Fidelity reported a net loss of $13.4 million, a decrease of $13.6 million from net income of $221,000 in 2006. Losses per basic share were $3.18 for the year ended December 31, 2007, with earnings of $0.22 per share from continuing operations and losses of $3.40 per share from discontinued operations. Losses per diluted share were $3.16 for the year ended December 31, 2007, with earnings of $0.22 per share from continuing operations and losses of $3.38 per share from discontinued operations. That compares to earnings of $0.05 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2006, with earnings of $0.40 per share from continuing operations and losses of $0.35 per share from discontinued operations.

The decrease in net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 is primarily related to the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations, which resulted in a loss of $14.3 million in 2007 compared to a loss of $1.5 million in 2006. Those losses are primarily related to losses on the sale of mortgage loans as investor programs were closed, housing values declined and credit markets deteriorated. Expenses related to the wind-down of F&T Mortgage operations and the creation of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $4.5 million related to the wind-down contributed to the loss.

110

F&T Bank expanded into Northern Virginia in 2007 with the opening of our branch in Tysons Corner and added a third branch in Rockville to our Montgomery County, Maryland branches. Loan growth of 64% was achieved in the year ended December 31, 2007 as the greater Washington, DC business community was attracted to our local decision-making ability and superior, relationship-focused, customer service. Net interest income from continuing operations in 2007 grew by 28% despite the highly competitive local market for deposits and the industry-wide net interest margin compression. Given the growth of the loan portfolio and industry-wide credit quality concerns, provisions for loan losses almost tripled to $1.9 million in 2007. Non-interest expenses from continuing operations increased in 2007 by 38% due to increased personnel and occupancy costs for branch expansion and growth as well as increased FDIC insurance, data processing and audit costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fidelity's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the consolidated financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for investment securities available for sale and mortgage loans held for sale are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. As of January 1, 2008, Fidelity adopted the provisions of Statement on Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 157, which establishes a common definition of fair value.

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: (a) Statement on Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 5, "Accounting for Contingencies", which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are estimable and (b) SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a

111

Loan", which requires that losses be accrued when it is probable that Fidelity will not collect all principal and interest payments according to the contractual terms of the loan. The loss, if any, can be determined by the difference between the loan balance and the value of collateral, the present value of expected future cash flows, or values observable in the secondary markets.

The ALLL has two components, one for potential estimated losses for loans identified as impaired and the other which provides for potential unidentified losses in groups of non-classified loans in the portfolio that have similar risk characteristics. Each component of the allowance is based upon estimates that can and do change when actual events occur.

The specific allowance is used to individually allocate for loans identified as impaired. Impairment testing includes consideration of the borrower's overall financial condition, resources and payment history, support available from guarantors, and the fair value of collateral. These factors are combined to estimate the probability and severity of inherent losses. When an impairment is identified, a specific reserve is established based upon Fidelity's assessment of the estimated loss embedded in the individual loan.

The second component of the allowance estimates the potential unidentified losses in the non-classified loan portfolio. This component excludes loans identified in the risk rating evaluation as meeting the criteria for substandard and doubtful (classified loans).

The non-classified loan portfolio is grouped by loan type. The loan type groups are 1) commercial loans, 2) commercial real estate loans, 3) real estate construction, development and other loans secured by real estate, 4) consumer loans, and 5) consumer real estate loans (first and junior liens), which includes consumer construction loans and home equity lines. Each one of these loan type groups has different characteristics regarding the loan purpose, terms and collateral.

Allowance factors for each group are assigned by management based upon historical losses or, if losses for that loan type have not been incurred, based on historical loss information available from institutions that had portfolios with similar characteristics as Fidelity's loan portfolio. Additional allowance factors are assigned by management based on a number of factors, including delinquencies, changes in lending policy and procedures, changes in local and national economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, changes in the underlying value of the collateral, management expertise, quality of loan review systems, competition and legal and regulatory requirements. The factors assigned differ by loan type. The portion allocated to non-classified loans estimates losses inherent in the portfolio which have not yet been recognized. Allowance factors and the overall size of the allowance may change from period to period, based upon management's assessment of the above-described factors and the relative weights given to each factor.

Management has significant discretion in making the judgments inherent in the determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses—including, in connection with the valuation of collateral, a borrower's prospects of repayment—and in establishing allowance factors. The establishment of allowance factors is a continuing evaluation, based on management's ongoing assessment of the global factors discussed above and their impact on the portfolio. The allowance factors may change from period to period, resulting in an increase or decrease in the amount of the provision or allowance, based upon the same volume and classification of loans. Changes in allowance factors have a direct impact on the amount of the provision, and a related, after-tax effect on net income. Errors in management's perception and assessment of the global factors and their impact on the portfolio could result in the allowance not being adequate to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in higher provisions in the future. Alternatively, errors in management's perception and assessment of the global factors and their impact on the portfolio could result in the allowance being in excess of amounts necessary to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in lower provisions in the future. For additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses, refer to the discussion under the caption "Allowance for Loan Losses" below.

Accounting and reporting policies for stock option plans involve the use of estimates and assumptions by management. Beginning in January 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, which requires the expense recognition for the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, such as stock options. This standard allows management to establish modeling assumptions as to expected stock price volatility, option terms, forfeiture rates and dividend rates which directly impact estimated fair value. The accounting standard also allows for the use of alternative option pricing models which may impact fair value as determined. Fidelity's practice is to utilize reasonable and supportable assumptions which are reviewed by management and the Board of Directors.

Accounting and reporting policies for income taxes involve the use of assumptions and estimates in recording provisions for income taxes and deferred tax assets or liabilities. In accordance with the liability method of accounting for income taxes specified in SFAS No. 109, the provision for income taxes is the sum of income taxes both currently payable and deferred. The changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the changes in differences between the basis of assets and liabilities, for financial reporting purposes, and the basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates management estimates will be in effect when the differences reverse.

In recording the provision for income taxes, management must estimate the future tax rates applicable to the reversal of timing differences and make certain assumptions regarding whether tax differences are permanent or temporary and the related time of expected reversal. Estimates are also made as to whether taxable operating income in future periods will be sufficient to fully recognize any gross deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, provisions for taxes must be increased by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that are estimated to be not ultimately recoverable. Alternatively, estimates may be made about the potential usage of deferred tax assets that decrease any existing valuation allowances. As of December, 31 2007, management established a valuation allowance of $4.5 million for primarily all of the deferred tax assets of F&T Mortgage as a result of the discontinuation of their operations and the magnitude of their losses. As of March 31, 2008, the valuation allowance increased to $4.8 million. Management believes that all of the remaining deferred tax assets recorded on our balance sheet in the amount of $963,000 will ultimately be recovered through continuing operations.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Fidelity reported a net loss of $785,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a $550,000 decrease from a net loss of $235,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The increase in net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is attributed to continuing operations and is primarily the result of the impact of the rapid decline in market interest rates during the period on Fidelity's net interest income from continuing operations. Fidelity's balance sheet is asset sensitive, with more assets re-pricing with a change in interest rates than liabilities, resulting in a negative impact to earnings from a decline in market interest rates. Fidelity's loan portfolio is approximately 80% adjustable rate lending so that the 200 basis point change in the prime rate during the first quarter of 2008 had an immediate negative impact on total interest earned. While rates offered on deposit accounts, Fidelity's primary source of funding, also decreased during the quarter, they did not decline at the same rate due to competitive market pressures. The opportunity to re-price our cost of funds was also negatively impacted by the 57% of average interest bearing liabilities in fixed rate certificates of deposit.

First quarter 2008 non-interest expenses from continuing operations increased $1 million, or 40% over non-interest expenses for the first quarter 2007 due to increased compensation, occupancy and depreciation costs related to F&T Bank's branch expansion in June and September of 2007 and increased legal and professional fees and other shared costs which were allocated between F&T Bank and F&T Mortgage during the first quarter of 2007. The pre-tax loss from discontinued operations improved to $610,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as the wind-down of mortgage operations continues. The after tax loss from discontinued operations is comparable, however, between the quarters at $610,000 and $649,000, respectively, due to the establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance as of December 31, 2007 for F&T Mortgage operations.

Fidelity reported a net loss of $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a $13.6 million increase from net income of $221,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The decrease in net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 can be attributed primarily to the $14.3 million loss from the discontinued operations of F&T Mortgage. As part of the asset sale of F&T Mortgage on August 20, 2007, all F&T Mortgage branch locations and branch personnel transferred to the purchaser and the origination of residential mortgage loans ceased. Substantially all of the remaining mortgage loans held for sale have been sold and F&T Mortgage's corporate headquarters closed as of December 31, 2007. Total non-interest income of F&T Mortgage decreased $16 million, from non-interest income of $14.9 million in 2006 to a non-interest loss of $1.1 million in 2007, primarily from the losses incurred on the sale of mortgage loans and the recording of market value adjustments on the remaining mortgage loans held for sale. Fidelity's continuing operations from F&T Bank also declined in 2007, from earnings of $1.7 million in 2006 to earnings of $920,000 in 2007, primarily from increased expenses related to the branch expansion and growth of F&T Bank and the industry-wide net interest margin compression experienced by most financial institutions in 2007.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Earning assets are composed primarily of loans and securities. The cost of funds represents interest expense on deposits, customer repurchase agreements and other borrowings, which comprise federal funds purchased, overnight advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and third-party lines of credit. Non-interest-bearing deposits and capital are other components representing funding sources. Net interest income is a primary source of Fidelity's earnings; it is affected by interest rate

114

fluctuations as well as changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $24,000 or less than 1% from net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This is the result of volume increases in loans and funding sources, primarily customer deposits, being offset by declines in interest rates, with rate declines on earning assets exceeding the rate declines n funding sources.

Net interest income for 2007 was $15.6 million, an increase of $3.4 million or 28% compared to $12.2 million in 2006. This increase is primarily due to loan volume increases exceeding both the volume and rate increases of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest Income

Fidelity's total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $7.2 million as compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $319,000 or 4%. That increase was the result of the volume increase in average earning assets exceeding the interest rate decline earned on those interest earning assets. Fidelity's total interest income in 2007 was $30.6 million as compared to $21.9 million in 2006, an increase of $8.7 million or 40%. That increase was the result of an increase in both average interest earning assets and the rates earned on those assets. Fidelity earns interest income from construction and development and commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans and residential and consumer loans as well as agency and mortgage-backed securities and the overnight sale of excess funds. Rates earned on loans are generally driven by market conditions and the level of competition in our market area while rates on securities are driven by market conditions alone. Increases in loan volume are determined largely on Fidelity's competitiveness in the market as well as on Fidelity's customer service and client relationships and referrals.

Fidelity's total average earning assets increased $54.1 million or 14%, from $373.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $427.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. While the other earning asset components, securities and overnight funds, declined slightly on average from one year ago, the growth in average portfolio loans was $58.2 million or 22%, from $270.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 to $328.9 million in the first quarter of 2008. Interest and fees earned on those loans comprised 83% of interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 81% in the first quarter of 2007. Interest income on loans includes the interest accrued on outstanding loan balances and the amortization of fees collected and costs recorded at the time the loan is funded. Including the amortization of fees and costs, interest earned on loans increased 7% to $6 million for the first quarter of 2008 from $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Despite the 22% growth in average loans, earnings were diminished due to the reduction in yield on the loan portfolio from 8.30% for the first quarter of 2007 to 7.19% for the first quarter of 2008. That 111 basis point decline in yield is attributable to the 200 basis point reduction in the prime rate during the first quarter of 2008. Fidelity's loan portfolio is 80% adjustable rate lending, primarily based on prime.

Fidelity's total average earning assets increased $93.3 million or 30%, from $309.9 million for 2006 to $403.2 million for 2007. The largest component of that increase was the growth in average portfolio loans which increased 43% or $89.5 million, from $208.2 million in 2006 to $297.7 million in 2007. Interest and fees earned on those loans comprised 82% of interest income in 2007 as compared to 78% in 2006. Including the amortization of fees and costs, interest earned on loans increased 48% to $25.2 million in 2007 from $17.0 million in 2006. The average yield on the loan portfolio also increased from 8.18% in 2006 to 8.48% in 2007 despite the declining rate environment in the later half of 2007. The yield improvement is the result of the growth in our real estate-based lending, our highest yielding asset.

Fidelity's investment strategy is intended to maintain liquidity in the securities portfolio, enabling Fidelity to reinvest at higher rates through funding the growth of the loan portfolio. During the first quarter of 2008, securities matured and were called and their proceeds were only partially reinvested in

115

securities with the balance of approximately $5 million used to fund portfolio loans. At March 31, 2008, the securities portfolio decreased to $85.8 million from $90.7 million at December 31, 2007. The average balance for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $84.2 million, down slightly from the average balance of $85.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The yield on the securities portfolio improved to 5.38% for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to 4.99% for the first quarter of 2007 as securities matured or were called and reinvested at higher rates.

During 2007, the growth of the securities portfolio slowed as calls or maturities were re-invested in the loan portfolio. At December 31, 2007, the securities portfolio had increased only 8%, to $90.7 million as compared to $83.6 million at December 31, 2006. However, the average balance of securities increased 28% or $20.1 million, to $90.7 million for 2007 as compared to $70.6 million for 2006. In addition to the volume increase, the yield increased as lower yielding securities matured and were replaced by higher yielding securities. The overall securities yield for 2007 was 5.10% as compared to 4.73% for 2006.

Federal funds sold and interest-bearing bank balances are the lowest yielding of Fidelity's assets but are the most liquid, providing funding sources for investments in loans and securities as well as meeting depositors' cash flow needs. During the first quarter of 2008, loan growth exceeded deposit growth and average cash balances, including federal funds sold, decreased to provide funding for loan growth. The average balance of federal funds sold and bank balances was $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2007, or 5% of total average earning assets. The average balance for the first quarter of 2008 was $14.3 million, or 3% of total average earning assets. Yields on federal funds sold had declined by 200 basis points in the first quarter of 2008, yielding 3.10% as compared to a yield of 5.24% during the first quarter of 2007. Despite the increase in average earning assets during the first quarter of 2008 and the asset mix change, from lower yielding assets such as federal funds and securities into higher yielding portfolio loans, the repeated market interest rate reductions reduced Fidelity's yield on interest-bearing assets to 6.69% from 7.40% during the first quarter of 2007 and from 7.60% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

During 2006, Fidelity's deposit growth exceeded its loan growth, resulting in significant holdings of federal funds sold. The average balance of federal funds and bank balances was $31.0 million in 2006, or 10% of total average earning assets. The average balance of federal funds and bank balances for 2007 was $14.8 million and 4% of total average earning assets. That change in asset mix, from lower yielding federal funds to loans and securities, Fidelity's higher yielding assets, contributed to the 54 basis points yield improvement in total earning assets, which increased to an overall yield of 7.60% in 2007 from 7.06% in 2006.

Interest Expense

Fidelity's total interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $3.7 million, an increase of $343,000 or 10%, as compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. That increase is the result of the volume increase in average interest-bearing liabilities exceeding the interest rate reduction on the cost of those liabilities. Fidelity's total interest expense in 2007 was $15.0 million as compared to $9.7 million in 2006, an increase of $5.3 million or 55%. That increase was the result of increases in both the volume of average interest-bearing liabilities and the rates paid on those liabilities. Interest expense represents interest paid on deposits, customer repurchase agreements and borrowed funds. The volume of customer deposits achieved and retained depends on the level of customer service as well as the competitive nature of the interest rates offered. The level of competition for deposits has intensified over the last few years as non-traditional competitors have entered the deposit market. Internet banks, credit unions and brokerage firms have joined the more traditional bricks and mortar banks in seeking customer deposits to fund their businesses. Fidelity has based its deposit gathering efforts on building relationships and providing superior service to those relationships. Fidelity's client base is the business community of the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan market, as well as the principals of those businesses. Fidelity has not accepted any brokered deposits.

Fidelity monitors rates offered on similar deposit products in its service area. It has been Fidelity's practice to offer deposit rates just slightly below the highest rates offered in its area. During periods of fluctuating interest rates, Fidelity may raise or lower rates in response to market changes. Certificates of deposit have a set maturity date and typically provide a higher interest rate than other deposit products. Although they may be withdrawn with a penalty, they usually remain until maturity. While Fidelity has a high percentage of existing customer deposits, including customer repurchase agreements, in certificates of deposit, 50% as of March 31, 2008, the maturity range is relatively short with 82% of those certificates maturing within one year. Given the current declining interest rate environment, that gives us a significant opportunity to lower our cost of funds within a relatively short period of time.

Fidelity's total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $70.6 million or 23%, from $300.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $371.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The largest component of that volume increase was the growth of certificates of deposit which increased $41.4 million or 24%, from $171.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 to $212.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. The cost of those deposits also increased from an average rate of 4.87% during the first quarter of 2007 to 5.01% during the first quarter of 2008 due to the competitive market for local customer deposits. Those certificates are of short duration, with 52% of the March 31, 2008 certificates of deposit due to mature within six months. That will provide an opportunity to re-price those deposits in a lower interest rate environment and reduce our overall cost of funds. All other interest-bearing liabilities increased in volume from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008 but their interest rates declined, thereby reducing our overall cost of funds. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2008 declined to 4.03% from 4.56% for the first quarter of 2007.

Fidelity's total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $83.5 million or 34%, from $244.6 million in 2006 to $328.1 million in 2007. The largest component of that volume increase was the growth of certificates of deposit which increased $42.5 million or 30%, from $141.2 million in 2006 to $183.7 million in 2007. The cost of those deposits also increased from an average rate of 4.46% during 2006 to 5.02% during 2007 due to the increasingly competitive market for local customer deposits. Those certificates are of short duration, with 78% of the December 31, 2007 certificates of deposit due to mature within one year. That will provide an opportunity to re-price those deposits within a relatively short period of time. The next largest component of volume growth in interest-bearing liabilities was customer repurchase agreements, which grew on average $30.2 million or over 200% during 2007 to a total of $43.5 million. These deposits, which typically represent escrow funds which require collateral in the form of pledged securities, carry a lower interest rate due to the collateral pledged. Fidelity saw only a slight increase of three basis points in the cost of these funds from 3.90% in 2006 to 3.93% in 2007. Fidelity's ability to continue to grow this segment of deposits will be limited by the growth of Fidelity's securities portfolio, which provides the required collateral for these accounts. Interest-bearing transaction account balances, such as money market, savings and NOW accounts, also had volume increases with average balances increasing $10.4 million or 12%, from an average total of $90.1 million for 2006 to $100.5 million in 2007. These accounts also increased in cost from an average yield of 3.20% in 2006 to 4.06% in 2007. Fidelity's total cost of interest-bearing liabilities for 2007 grew to 4.58% from 3.96% in 2006 as the competition for customer deposits increased significantly from traditional competitors, such as other locally owned community banks and larger, regional banks, and non-traditional competitors such as credit unions and brokerage firms.

Average Balances, Interest Yields and Rates and Net Interest Margin

The following tables labeled "Average Balances, Interest Yields and Rates and Net Interest Margin" present the average balances and rates of the various categories of Fidelity's assets and liabilities for the periods presented. Included in the tables is a measurement of interest rate spread and margin. Interest spread is the difference (expressed as a percentage) between the interest rate earned on earning assets less the interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. While net interest spread provides a quick comparison

117

of earnings rates versus cost of funds, management believes that the net interest margin provides a better measurement of performance, since the net interest margin includes the effect of non-interest-bearing sources in its calculation, which are significant factors in Fidelity's financial performance. The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

Fidelity's average non-interest-bearing deposits, also called demand deposits, increased $9.6 million or 20%, from $47.0 million during the first quarter of 2007 to $56.6 million during the first quarter of 2008. Fidelity's average non-interest-bearing deposits increased $14.1 million or 38%, from $37.1 million in 2006 to $51.2 million in 2007. These deposits represent "free" or cost-free money which Fidelity can then invest in loans, securities or over-night funds. They represent the operating accounts of Fidelity's business clients and grew significantly in 2007 as Fidelity expanded its reach in the greater Washington, D.C. business community through referrals from existing clients or directors. The growth in these accounts from 2005 to 2006 was almost 100% as average demand deposit balances increased from $18.6 million for 2005 to $37.1 million for 2006.

Fidelity's net interest spread declined 18 basis points from 2.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 2.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and represents the difference between the rate earned on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Fidelity's net interest margin declined 54 basis points from 3.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 3.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. That ratio represents Fidelity's net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets. The volume increases in average earning assets were partially offset by the volume increases in interest-bearing liabilities and the rate reductions on average earning assets exceeded the rate reductions on interest-bearing liabilities, thus reducing both the interest spread and the interest margin. Fidelity's net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from continuing operations was $3.5 million, a $24,000 decrease from our net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Fidelity's net interest spread declined eight basis points from 3.10% in 2006 to 3.02% in 2007. Fidelity's net interest margin declined six basis points from 3.93% for 2006 to 3.87% for 2007. The volume increases in average earning assets were partially offset by the volume increases in interest-bearing liabilities and the rate increases in average earning assets were more than offset by the rate increases in average interest-bearing liabilities, thus reducing both the interest spread and the interest margin. Fidelity's net interest income for 2007 from continuing operations was $15.6 million, an increase of $3.4 million or 28% from 2006.

The net interest margin for 2006 of 3.93% from continuing operations was an improvement over the 3.59% margin for 2005. That improvement was the result of volume and rate increases of interest-earning assets exceeding the volume and rate increases of average interest-bearing liabilities. During 2006, the prime rate increased 100 basis points which contributed to the yield improvement of Fidelity's portfolio loans, 80% of which have adjustable rate pricing. Interest rates on deposits also rose but to a lesser extent. Fidelity's net interest income for 2006 from continuing operations was $12.2 million, an increase of $5.4 million or 79%.

The rate/volume tables below present the composition of the change in net interest income for the periods indicated, as allocated between the change in net interest income due to changes in the volume of average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. As the first table shows, the decrease in net interest income from the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 is due to the rate reductions on interest-earning assets exceeding the rate reductions on interest-bearing liabilities. As the second table shows, the increase in net interest income in 2007 as compared to 2006 is due to growth in the volume of earning assets and an improvement in the rates earned on those assets offset by an increase in both the volume and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents the amount of expense charged to earnings to fund the allowance for loan losses. The amount of the allowance for loan losses is based on many factors which reflect management's assessment of the risk in the loan portfolio. Those factors include economic conditions and trends, the value and adequacy of collateral, volume and mix of the portfolio, performance of the portfolio, and internal loan processes of F&T Bank.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, provisions for loan losses were made totaling $311,000 and the allowance for loan losses increased $275,000 to $3.5 million, including the impact of net charge-offs of $36,000. That is comparable to loan loss provisions of $343,000 made during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

In total, the ratio of net charge offs to average loans was 0.04% for the first three months of 2008 as compared to 0.06% for the first three months of 2007.

In 2007, provisions for loan losses were made in the amount of $1.9 million and the allowance for loan losses increased $1 million to $3.2 million, including the impact of net charge-offs of $816,000 during the period. In 2006, provisions for loan losses were made in the amount of $671,000 and the allowance for loan losses increased $642,000 to $2.2 million, including the impact of net charge-offs of $29,000 during the period. The provision for loan losses of $1.9 million for the year 2007 almost tripled over the provision for loan losses of $671,000 for the year 2006 due primarily to loan growth of 64%, increase in charge-offs due to portfolio seasoning and industry-wide concerns for deteriorating credit quality.

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income includes service charges on deposits and other income; such as loan documentation fees and late charges and miscellaneous fees such as wire transfer fees.

121

Total non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $180,000, compared to $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 54%. The increase was due primarily to higher deposit account activity fees ($71,000 versus $50,000), higher loan fees ($76,000 versus $45,000) and higher miscellaneous fees ($33,000 versus $22,000). The increase in each non-interest income category is primarily related to new deposit and loan relationships and the continued expansion of our products and services offered.

Total non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $565,000, compared to $314,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 80%. The increase was attributed primarily to higher deposit account activity fees ($231,000 versus $121,000), higher loan fees ($220,000 versus $150,000) and higher miscellaneous fees ($114,000 versus $43,000). The increase in each non-interest income category is primarily related to new deposit relationships and the expansion of our services and products offered.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 42%. That increase is due to the growth and branch expansion of F&T Bank as well as the impact of the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations on continuing operations. Two new branches were opened in June and September 2007, thus costs related to their operation are included in the first quarter of 2008 that are not included in the first quarter of 2007. Personnel increased from 68 employees at March 31, 2007 to 88 employees at March 31, 2008, an increase of 29%, not only to staff our new branches but also to expand our lending capabilities and transfer the information technology staff to F&T Bank from a shared resource with F&T Mortgage. Premises, equipment and communication related expenses also increased to accommodate the new branch locations and lending staff as well as restructuring F&T Bank's technology and communications from a shared resource with F&T Mortgage.

Compensation and employee benefits were $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2008, as compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $196,000 or 12%. This increase was due to staff additions and related personnel costs and increased benefit costs. No incentive compensation was recorded for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $132,000 recorded for the first quarter of 2007.

Occupancy expenses totaled $440,000 for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $359,000 for the same period in 2007. This increase of 23% was due primarily to new leases entered into in the third quarter of 2007 for the Rockville branch and new administrative space for accounting and human resources. Equipment and software costs and depreciation and amortization on the leaseholds and equipment totaled $341,000 for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $233,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of 46%. This increase is attributable to F&T Bank's expansion in personnel and space and the separation of shared communication resources with F&T Mortgage. Data processing costs were $170,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $117,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of 45%, which is consistent with the growth in F&T Bank's deposit and loan accounts.

Legal, accounting and professional fees were $439,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $293,000 for the same period in 2007, a 50% increase. This increase was due to the need for Fidelity and F&T Bank to incur additional legal and consulting expenses related to the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations.

Other expenses increased by $466,000 from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008. The major components of costs in this category include advertising and marketing, communications, insurance, courier, business development, printing and supplies, charitable contributions and director fees. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 2007, the significant increases in this category were FDIC insurance premiums and communication expenses. The largest factor in the increase in these expenses is the impact of the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations as joint expenses that had been shared were fully charged to continuing operations as of mid 2007. Those expenses include advertising and

122

marketing fees, communication and information technology costs and consulting and audit fees. Those shared expenses were $312,000 in the first quarter of 2007.

Total non-interest expense was $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 38%. That increase is primarily the result of the growth and branch expansion of F&T Bank. Two new branches were opened in 2007, expanding our branch network by 50% from 4 branches to 6 branches. Personnel increased from 70 employees at December 31, 2006 to 84 employees at December 31, 2007, an increase of 20%, not only in staffing our new branches but also in expanding our lending capabilities. Premises and equipment related expenses also increased to accommodate the new branch locations and lending staff.

Compensation and employee benefits were $6.9 million for the year ended 2007, as compared to $5.4 million for 2006, a 28% increase. This increase was due to staff additions and related personnel costs, increased benefit costs and incentive based compensation.

Occupancy expenses totaled $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 versus $1.2 million for the same period in 2006. This increase of 33% was due primarily to new leases entered into for the Tysons Corner branch in the first quarter of 2007, the Rockville branch in the third quarter of 2007 and new administrative space for accounting and human resources also in the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, ongoing operating expense increases associated with F&T Bank's facilities, all of which are leased, contributed to the overall increase in expense. Equipment and software costs and depreciation and amortization on the leaseholds and equipment totaled $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $743,000 for the same period in 2006, a 48% increase. This increase is directly attributable to F&T Bank's expansion in personnel and space as well as the desire to provide superior technological services to our growing client base.

Data processing costs were $504,000 for the year ended 2007, as compared to $368,000 in 2006, an increase of 37%. This increase is consistent with the growth in deposit and loan accounts at F&T Bank and the expanded services and technology offered to the Bank's clients. In lieu of adding more branches to gain access to our expanding client base, we made a strategic decision to reach our clients through technology. Our improved on-line banking capabilities, website access and remote deposit capture technology is offered to our clients to make banking with F&T Bank more efficient and effective.

Legal, accounting and professional fees were $1.4 million for the year ended 2007, as compared to $1.3 million for 2006, an 8% increase. This increase was due in part to the need for F&T Bank to incur additional legal expenses related to the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations.

Other expenses increased to $1.4 million in the year ended 2007 from $377,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, or an increase of 271%. The major components of costs in this category include advertising and marketing, communications, insurance, courier, business development, stationary, supplies and printing, charitable contributions, director fees, dues and FDIC insurance premiums. For the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to 2006, the significant increases in this category were primarily FDIC insurance premiums, which increased $273,000, and communications, which increased $69,000 due to branch expansion and personnel growth. However, the largest factor in the increase in these expenses is the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations as joint expenses that had been shared were fully charged to continuing operations as of mid 2007. Those expenses included advertising and marketing fees, communication and information technology costs, and consulting and audit fees. Those shared expenses were $568,000 in 2007 as compared to $1.1 million in 2006, resulting in a net increase in non-interest expense to continuing operations of $577,000.

Income Tax Expense

Fidelity recognized, as part of continuing operations, an income tax benefit of $114,000 in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to income tax expense of $276,000 for the first quarter of 2007, resulting in an

123

effective tax rate of 39.6% and 40.0%, respectively. A tax benefit from discontinued operations was recorded of $432,000 for the first quarter of 2007, however, no tax benefit was recorded for the same period in 2008 due to the establishment of a valuation allowance with respect to the realization of the total gross deferred assets related to F&T Mortgage was established as of December 31, 2007. That valuation allowance was $4.8 million as of March 31, 2008. Based on future expectations of taxable income and the reversal of gross deferred tax liabilities, management believes it is more likely than not that Fidelity will realize all of the gross deferred tax assets existing at March 31, 2008 related to its continuing operations.

Fidelity recognized, as part of continuing operations, income tax expense of $541,000 in 2007 compared to $792,000 in 2006, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.8% and 31.7%, respectively. Fidelity believes that a valuation allowance with respect to the realization of the total gross deferred tax assets related to F&T Mortgage is necessary due to the magnitude of the losses incurred by F&T Mortgage and the discontinuation of its operations. That valuation allowance was established at $4.5 million as of December 31, 2007. Based on Fidelity's historical taxable income, future expectations of taxable income, and the reversal of gross deferred tax liabilities, management believes it is more likely than not that Fidelity will realize all of the gross deferred tax assets existing at December 31, 2007 related to its continuing operations.

Discontinued Operations

Fidelity sold certain assets of F&T Mortgage on August 20, 2007 and the sales force of F&T Mortgage transferred to the purchasing company on that date. The wind-down of F&T Mortgage operations is continuing. F&T Mortgage had net losses of $610,000 and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. F&T Mortgage had net losses of $14.3 million in 2007 and $1.5 million in 2006. Fidelity determined that it did not have the scale nor the earnings power to absorb the volatility and risk associated with the mortgage origination business. The first quarter 2008 loss includes losses on the sale of some mortgage loans and continuing expenses of the wind-down of operations. The 2007 loss includes a tax valuation allowance of $4.5 million, the write-down of the value of loans held for sale of $4.4 million, the write-off of remaining fixed assets of $208,000, and the settlement of lease obligations of approximately $100,000. The 2006 loss is the result of the expenses of maintaining the mortgage origination platform, including salaries and commissions, exceeding the earnings from sales of mortgage loans. See Note 22 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the discontinued operations of F&T Mortgage.

At March 31, 2008, the investment portfolio totaled $85.8 million, a decrease of 5% as compared the balance at December 31, 2007.

Federal funds sold totaled $6.6 million at March 31, 2008 and $7.5 million at December 31, 2007 as compared to $39.0 million at December 31, 2006. These funds represent excess daily liquidity which is invested on an unsecured basis with well capitalized banks, in amounts generally limited both in the aggregate and to any one bank.

Loan Portfolio

In its lending activities, Fidelity seeks to develop sound relationships with clients whose businesses and individual banking needs will grow with F&T Bank. There has been a significant effort to grow the loan portfolio and to be responsive to the lending needs in the markets served, while maintaining sound asset quality.

For the first three months of 2008 loan growth slowed, with portfolio loans outstanding reaching $337 million at March 31, 2008, an increase of $17.4 million or 5% as compared to $319.8 million at December 31, 2007. Loan growth for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was strong, with portfolio loans outstanding reaching $319.8 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $124.5 million or 64% as compared to $195.3 million at December 31, 2006.

F&T Bank is primarily commercial oriented and as can be seen in the chart below, has a large proportion of its loan portfolio secured by real estate (69.5% at both March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007) consisting of real estate-commercial, real estate-construction, real estate-residential mortgage and home equity lines. Commercial purpose loans secured by real estate are included in the real estate-commercial portion of the portfolio.

As noted above, a significant portion of the loan portfolio consists of commercial, construction and commercial real estate loans, primarily made in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and secured by real estate or other collateral in that market. Although these loans are made to a diversified pool of unrelated borrowers across numerous businesses, adverse developments in the Washington D.C. metropolitan real estate market could have an adverse impact on this portfolio of loans and Fidelity's income and financial position. While our market area is the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, the Bank has made loans outside this market area where the nature and quality of such loans was consistent with the Bank's lending policies.

The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential commercial real estate concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land which represent in total 100% or more of an institutions total risk-based capital; or (2) total commercial real estate loans representing 300% or more of the institutions total risk-based capital and the institution's commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months, are identified as having potential commercial real estate concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their commercial real estate portfolios, and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. F&T Bank, like many community banks in the greater Washington D.C. market, has a concentration in commercial real estate loans. Management has extensive experience in commercial real estate lending, and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened portfolio monitoring and reporting, and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. It is possible that Fidelity could be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our commercial real estate concentration, which could require us to obtain additional capital, and may adversely affect shareholder returns.

At both March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Fidelity had a concentration of loans to the restaurant industry. Management has extensive experience in lending to the restaurant industry. Approximately half of the loans have real estate as collateral. Generally, the loans are to established restaurants which are run by experienced operators. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, F&T Bank has not had any losses on loans in the restaurant portfolio. Adverse economic conditions in the

127

Washington D.C. metropolitan area could affect these borrowers' ability to meet their contractual obligations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management has developed a comprehensive review process to monitor the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The review process and guidelines were developed utilizing guidance from federal banking regulatory agencies. The results of this review process, in combination with conclusions of F&T Bank's outside loan review consultant, support management's view as to the adequacy of the allowance as of the balance sheet date. Management analyzes the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses regularly through reviews of the performance of the loan portfolio considering economic conditions, changes in interest rates and the effect of such changes on real estate values and changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term and is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in our loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that management believes warrants recognition in providing for an appropriate allowance for loan losses. Additionally, we utilize an outside party to conduct an independent review of non-real estate commercial and commercial real estate loans. Future additions to the allowance for loan losses will depend on these factors among others. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Based on the variables involved and the fact that management must make judgments about outcomes that are uncertain, the determination of the allowance for loan losses is considered to be a critical accounting policy.

The provision for loan losses represents the amount of expense charged to earnings to fund the allowance for loan losses.

During 2007, a provision for loan losses was made in the amount of $1.9 million before net charge-offs of $816,000.

In total, the ratio of net charge offs to average loans was 0.04% for the first three months of 2008 as compared to 0.06% for the first three months of 2007. The $36,000 net charge off as of March 31, 2008 was one commercial loan.

The allowance for loan losses represented 1.03% of total loans at March 31, 2008 as compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2007. While charge offs for the first three months of 2008 were low, management analysis has resulted in a greater percentage of the allowance to total loans at March 31, 2008 from the December 31, 2007 level due to the potential deterioration of the real estate market in the Washington Metropolitan area.

The allowance for loan losses represented 1.00% of total loans at December 31, 2007 as compared to 1.10% at December 31, 2006. This decrease in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses was due to the charge-off of a large commercial loan relationship during 2007 that had been partially reserved at December 31, 2006.

At March 31, 2008, Fidelity's nonperforming loans and loans over 90 days past due and still accruing were $6.3 million. The nonperforming total included $472,000 in nonaccrual loans held for investment, $1.1 million in nonaccrual loans held for sale and $4.7 million in loans held for investment which were 90 days past due and still accruing. Of the $4.7 million past due over 90 days and still accruing, $4.4 million was one construction loan. At March 31, 2008, Fidelity did not have any other real estate owned or "Troubled Debt Restructurings" as defined in FAS 15.

128

At December 31, 2007, Fidelity's nonperforming loans and other real estate owned were $617,000. The nonperforming total included $222,000 in nonaccrual loans held for investment and $395,000 in other real estate owned. At December 31, 2007, Fidelity did not have any loans which were 90 days past due and still accruing or "Troubled Debt Restructurings" as defined in FAS 15.

At December 31, 2007, Fidelity had one $222,000 loan classified as nonperforming, as compared to $3.4 million of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2006. There were no loans that were 90 days past due and still accruing interest as of December 31, 2007 or 2006. In addition, there were not any "Troubled Debt Restructurings" as defined in FAS 15. Please refer to "Nonperforming Assets" below for a discussion of problem and potential problem assets and Fidelity's policy regarding nonaccrual loans.

As the loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses review process continues to evolve, there may be changes to elements of the allowance and this may have an effect on the overall level of the allowance maintained. To date, F&T Bank had an average quality loan portfolio. Maintaining the quality of the portfolio will continue to be a high priority for both management and the Board of Directors.

The following table sets forth activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the past three fiscal years.

The following table presents the allocation of the allowance by loan category and the percent of loans each category bears to total loans. At March 31, 2008, the allocation of the allowance for the Commercial category included a specific reserve of $156,000 against one impaired loan and specific reserves of $688,000 in the Real Estate-Commercial category against four impaired loans.

At December 31, 2007, the allocation of the allowance for the Commercial category includes a specific reserve of $155,000 against one impaired loan, a specific reserve of $185,000 in the Real Estate-Commercial category against one impaired loan and $280,000 for two relationships totaling six loans in the Real Estate-Construction category. The allocation of the allowance to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses or charge-offs and does not restrict the usage of the allowance for any specific loan or category.

Nonperforming Assets

At March 31, 2008, Fidelity's nonperforming assets, which are comprised of nonaccrual loans and loans over 90 days past due and still accruing, were $6.3 million versus $617,000 at December 31, 2007. The percentage of nonperforming assets to total assets was 1.36% at March 31, 2008 versus 0.14% at December 31, 2007.

The March 31, 2008 nonperforming total included one Real Estate Construction loan in the amount of $4.4 million which was over 90 days past due and still accruing, one Real Estate Commercial loan in the amount of $350,000 which was over 90 days and still accruing, $1.1 million nonaccrual Loans Held for Sale, one $222,000 nonaccrual Commercial loan and one $250,000 non accrual Real Estate Commercial loan. At March 31, 2008, Fidelity did not have any other real estate owned.

Fidelity's nonperforming assets, which were comprised of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, totaled $617,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2006. The

130

percentage of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.14% at December 31, 2007, compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2006.

Please see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of Fidelity's policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status.
(2): Gross interest income that would have been recorded YTD in 2008 if nonaccrual loans and leases held for investment shown above had been current and in accordance with their original terms was $17,000, while no interest was actually recorded on such loans. Please see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of Fidelity's policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status.

Nonaccrual loans held for investment at December 31, 2007, include one loan totaling $222,000, which was placed on nonaccrual in the fourth quarter of 2007 and which management believes is has been adequately allocated for in the ALLL. Nonaccrual loans held for investment at December 31, 2006 consisted primarily of one commercial relationship amounting to $495,000 which had a specific reserve of $248,000 at December 31, 2006 and which has been charged-off net of proceeds received from collateral as of December 31, 2007 and two commercial real estate relationships amounting to $1.4 million and $185,000, which had specific reserves totaling $70,000 and $28,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, one of the loans in the larger relationship was assumed by a new creditworthy borrower and the other loan was foreclosed and transferred to OREO after a charge off of $189,000; the smaller relationship was paid in full by the borrower. There were no nonaccrual loans held for sale as of December 31, 2007 and there were $1.3 million in nonaccrual loans held for sale as of December 31, 2006, all of which were sold during 2007.

Significant variation in the amount of nonperforming loans may occur from period to period because the amount of nonperforming loans depends largely on the condition of a small number of individual

131

credits and borrowers relative to the total loan portfolio. Fidelity had one other real estate owned (OREO) property at December 31, 2007 and had two OREO properties as of December 31, 2006 both of which were sold in 2007. The Company had no restructured loans as of either December 31, 2007 or 2006. The balance of nonaccrual loans of $222,000 at December 31, 2007 had $155,000 of specific reserves compared to $4.2 million of nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2006 with $345,000 of specific reserves.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no performing loans considered potential problem loans, defined as loans which are not included in the 90 day past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms which may in the future result in disclosure in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured loan categories.

Loans Held for Sale

Residential mortgage loans held for sale declined to $10.2 million at March 31, 2008 as loans continue to be sold. As of March 31, 2008, $7.5 million of the loans held for sale were secured by first liens and $2.6 million were secured by second liens. Nonaccrual loans held for sale were $1.1 million. There were no loans held for sale which were 90 days past due and still accruing.

Residential mortgage loans held for sale declined to $11.9 million at December 31, 2007 as compared to $139.3 million at December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2007, $9.0 million of the loans held for sale were secured by first liens and $2.9 million were secured by second liens. None of the loans held for sale were on nonaccrual or over 90 days past due as of December 31, 2007. Since mortgage origination activities were the discontinued operations in 2007, comparisons to the December 31, 2006 balances are not meaningful.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment totaled $3.7 million at March 31, 2008, a decrease of $230,000 from December 31, 2007 primarily due to normal depreciation. Premises and equipment increased to $3.9 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $396,000, or 11%, from $3.5 million at December 31, 2006. The premises and equipment of F&T Mortgage decreased by $795,000 from the sale of its branch assets and the write-off of equipment taken out of service as its operations were discontinued. F&T Bank's premises and equipment increased by approximately $1.2 million as two branches were added in 2007 and customer growth of both loans and deposits required expanded system capacity.

Deposits and Other Sources of Funds

The principal sources of funds for Fidelity are core deposits, consisting of non-interest-bearing demand, interest-bearing transaction, money market and savings accounts and time deposits from the local market areas surrounding F&T Bank's offices. F&T Bank had no brokered deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2008 or during the years ended December 31, 2007 or 2006. The deposit base includes transaction accounts, time and savings accounts and accounts which customers use for cash management and which provide F&T Bank with a source of fee income and cross-marketing opportunities as well as an attractive source of lower cost funds. Deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and competitive factors. F&T Bank sets rates on deposits weekly, or more frequently if required by competitive conditions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, deposits grew $3.3 million, or less than 1%, from $365.7 million at December 31, 2007 to $369.0 million. Deposit growth continues to be a challenge in the highly competitive Washington metropolitan business community. As overall market rates declined significantly in the first quarter of 2008, Fidelity reduced the rates offered on its various deposit products, but to a lesser extent to retain its core deposit base. The growth for the quarter was in non-interest bearing deposit accounts ($2.5 million) and large certificates of deposit ($4.4 million), while certificates of deposit

132

of less than $100,000, money market, interest-bearing checking accounts each experienced slight decreases. Fidelity's certificates of deposit, typically the most expensive form of deposit account, remain at 57% of total deposits while non-interest-bearing accounts continue to represent 16% of total deposits. Traditionally certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more can be more volatile and more expensive than certificates of deposit of less than $100,000. However, because of Fidelity's focus on relationship banking within the Washington, DC metropolitan business community, its historical experience has been that large certificates of deposit are not more volatile and the rates paid on each product are comparable.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, deposits grew $31.2 million, or 9%, from $334.5 million to $365.7 million. Fidelity's goal with respect to deposits was to increase deposits to fund portfolio loan growth; however the intense market competition for deposits kept deposit growth significantly below our strong loan demand. Fidelity increased deposit rates during 2007 particularly on money market accounts and certificates of deposit in an effort to meet competitive pressure and provide clients with reasonable interest rates. Fidelity sets rates in order to attract deposits, maintain its liquidity position and remain competitive within its market so as to retain its customer base. During 2007, there was an increase of $44.2 million in certificates of deposit while savings, interest-bearing checking and money market accounts decreased by $19.8 million. Approximately 57% of Fidelity's deposits at December 31, 2007 consist of certificates of deposit, which are generally the most expensive form of deposit because of their fixed rate and term, as compared to 49% at December 31, 2006.

Average deposit balances in 2007 increased $67.0 million with the largest increases in money market accounts, $11.6 million, and certificates of deposit, $42.5 million. Average certificates of deposit totaled $183.7 million in 2007 compared to $141.2 million in 2006, an increase of 30%. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over increased $24.8 million, or 23%, to $132.7 million, or 36% of total deposits at December 31, 2007, as compared to 32% at December 31, 2006. These deposits can be more volatile and more expensive than time deposits of less than $100,000. However, because F&T Bank focuses on relationship banking, particularly attracting stable deposits from our shareholder base, its historical experience has been that large time deposits have not been more volatile or significantly more expensive than smaller denomination certificates.

At December 31, 2007, Fidelity had approximately $56.7 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, representing 16% of total deposits. This compared to approximately $49.9 million of these deposits at December 31, 2006 or 15% of total deposits. These deposits are primarily business checking accounts on which the payment of interest is prohibited by regulations of the Federal Reserve. Proposed legislation has been introduced in each of the last several sessions of Congress which would permit banks to pay interest on checking and demand deposit accounts established by businesses. If legislation effectively permitting the payment of interest on business demand deposits is enacted, of which there can be no assurance, it is likely that we may be required to pay interest on some portion of our non-interest-bearing deposits in order to compete with other banks. Payment of interest on these deposits could have a significant negative impact on our net interest income and net interest margin, net income, and the return on assets and equity.

As an enhancement to the basic non-interest-bearing demand deposit account, Fidelity offers a sweep account, or "customer repurchase agreement", allowing qualifying businesses to earn interest on short-term excess funds which are not suited for either a certificate of deposit or a money market account. The balances in these accounts were $53.4 million at March 31, 2008 as compared to $49.2 million at December 31, 2007 and to $30.2 million at December 31, 2006. Customer repurchase agreements are not deposits and are not insured but are collateralized by U.S. government agency securities. These accounts are particularly suitable to businesses with significant fluctuation in the levels of cash flows. Attorney and title company escrow accounts are an example of accounts which can benefit from this product, as are customers who may require collateral for deposits in excess of $100,000 but do not qualify for other pledging arrangements. This program requires Fidelity to maintain a sufficient investment securities level to accommodate the fluctuations in balances which may occur in these accounts.

133

At March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and 2006, F&T Bank had no outstanding balances under its federal funds lines of credit provided by correspondent banks. F&T Mortgage had $72.4 million of borrowings outstanding under its credit facility from a warehouse lender at December 31, 2006 which was fully satisfied by December 31, 2007 with the discontinuance of F&T Mortgage operations. F&T Financial had $9 million in outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2008, up from $3 million as of December 31, 2007, from EagleBank which is secured by F&T Financial's stock in F&T Bank. This credit facility was opened in 2007 and is expected to be paid in full at the time of the merger with Eagle Bancorp, Inc. Please refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding Fidelity's short-term borrowings.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Fidelity is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement Fidelity has in particular classes of financial instruments.

Fidelity's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Fidelity uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary list of loan commitments at March 31, 2008 and at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Loan commitments represent agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract and which have been accepted in writing by the borrower. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Fidelity evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral obtained varies, and may include certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential and commercial real estate.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Fidelity which guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and is required in instances which Fidelity deems necessary. At December 31, 2007, approximately 95% of the dollar amount of standby letters of credit was collateralized.

With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, Fidelity has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on Fidelity's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, capital expenditures or capital resources, that is material to investors.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity is a measure of Fidelity's ability to meet loan demand and to satisfy depositor withdrawal requirements in an orderly manner. F&T Bank's primary sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash balances due from correspondent banks, loan repayments, federal funds sold and other short-term investments, maturities and sales of investment securities and income from operations. F&T Bank's investment portfolio of debt securities is held in an available-for-sale status, which allows it flexibility, subject to holdings held as collateral for customer repurchase agreements; to generate cash from sales as needed to meet ongoing loan demand. These sources of liquidity are considered primary and are supplemented by the ability of Fidelity and F&T Bank to borrow funds, which are termed secondary sources. Fidelity maintains secondary sources of liquidity, which includes a $9 million line of credit with EagleBank, secured by the stock of F&T Bank, against which there was $9 million outstanding at March 31, 2008 and $3 million outstanding at December 31, 2007. Additionally, F&T Bank can purchase up to $3 million in federal funds on an unsecured basis and $4 million on a secured basis from its correspondents, against which there were no amounts outstanding at December 31, 2007. In addition, F&T Bank has the ability to borrow directly from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window up to $4 million on a secured basis. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, F&T Bank was also eligible to make advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) up to $8.7 million and $20.8 million, respectively, based on

135

collateral at the FHLB, of which there was no amount outstanding at March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

The loss of deposits, through disintermediation, is one of the greater risks to liquidity. Disintermediation occurs most commonly when rates rise and depositors withdraw deposits seeking higher rates in alternative savings and investment sources than F&T Bank may offer. F&T Bank was founded under a philosophy of relationship banking and, therefore, believes that it has less of an exposure to disintermediation and resultant liquidity concerns than do many banks. There is, however, a risk that some deposits would be lost if rates were to increase and F&T Bank elected not to remain competitive with its deposit rates. Under those conditions, F&T Bank believes that it is well positioned to use other sources of funds such as FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements and Bank lines of credit to offset a decline in deposits in the short run. Over the long-term, an adjustment in assets and change in business emphasis could compensate for a potential loss of deposits. F&T Bank also maintains a marketable investment portfolio to provide flexibility in the event of significant liquidity needs. F&T Bank Board's Asset Liability Board Committee has adopted policy guidelines which emphasize the importance of core deposits and their continued growth.

Fidelity's liquidity position has been sufficient despite the loss incurred from the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations. F&T Bank's deposit base continued to grow and support the growth of its loan portfolio while F&T Mortgage sold its loans held for sale portfolio and met its third party debt obligations. Liquidity can be analyzed by utilizing the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.3 million from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008, due primarily to the continued growth of F&T Bank. Net cash provided by continuing operations of $13.8 million during the first quarter of 2008 represents growth in F&T Bank's customer deposit and repurchase agreement accounts of $7.6 million and borrowings of $6.0 million. Those funds, in addition to the net proceeds of $5.9 million from the available-for-sale securities portfolio, were used to fund the net increase in portfolio loans of $17.5 million. The continuing sales of remaining mortgage loans held for sale from the discontinued mortgage operations of F&T Mortgage provided $767,000 in additional cash, offsetting their losses of $610,000 for the quarter. While F&T Mortgage operations continue to be wound down, additional losses may be incurred, however, Fidelity management believes there are adequate sources of liquidity to sustain those losses. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $33.5 million from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007, due primarily to the growth of F&T Bank rather than the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations. Net cash used in continuing operations of $133.4 million primarily represents the growth of F&T Bank's loan portfolio which should be a source of future earnings for Fidelity. Net cash provided by continuing operations of $56.7 million primarily represents the growth in F&T Bank's customer deposit and repurchase agreement accounts. The sale of most of F&T Mortgage's loans held for sale portfolio provided primarily all of the $114.0 million of operating activity cash flow from discontinued operations which supported the losses of $14.3 million as a result of the wind-down of mortgage operations as well as supported the use of $72.4 million to pay off F&T Mortgage's third party debt.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Asset/Liability Management and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

A fundamental risk in banking is exposure to market risk, or interest rate risk, as a bank's net income is largely dependent on net interest income. F&T Bank's Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO") of the Board of Directors formulates and monitors the management of interest rate risk through policies and guidelines established by it and the full Board of Directors. In its consideration of risk limits, the ALCO considers the impact on earnings and capital, the level and direction of interest rates, liquidity, local economic conditions, outside threats and other factors. Banking is generally a business of managing the maturity and re-pricing mismatch inherent in its asset and liability cash flows and to provide net interest income growth consistent with Fidelity's profit objectives.

136

Fidelity, through its ALCO, monitors the interest rate environment in which it operates and adjusts the rates and maturities of its assets and liabilities to remain competitive and to achieve its overall financial objectives subject to established risk limits. In the current interest rate environment, Fidelity has been extending the duration of its investment and loan portfolios and acquiring more variable and short-term liabilities, so as to mitigate the risk to earnings and capital should interest rates continue to decline from current levels. There can be no assurance that Fidelity will be able to successfully achieve its optimal asset liability mix, as a result of competitive pressures, customer preferences and the inability to perfectly forecast future interest rates.

One of the tools used by Fidelity to manage its interest rate risk is a static GAP analysis presented below. Fidelity also uses an earnings simulation model (simulation analysis) on a quarterly basis to monitor its interest rate sensitivity and risk and to model its balance sheet cash flows and its income statement effects in different interest rate scenarios. The model utilizes current balance sheet data and attributes and is adjusted for assumptions as to investment maturities or calls, loan prepayments, interest rates, the level of non-interest income and non-interest expense. The data is then subjected to a "shock test" which assumes a simultaneous change in interest rates up 100 and 200 basis points or down 100 and 200 basis points, along the entire yield curve, but not below zero. The results are analyzed as to the impact on net interest income over the next twelve and twenty four month periods and to the impact on the market value of equity.

As quantified in the table below, Fidelity's analysis at March 31, 2008 shows a moderate effect on net interest income (over the next 12 months) as well as to the economic value of equity when interest rates are shocked both down 100 and 200 basis points and up 100 and 200 basis points due to the significant level of variable rate and repriceable assets, primarily loans.

Over the next twelve months, as denoted in the GAP table below, Fidelity has an excess of rate-sensitive assets over rate-sensitive liabilities of 16%. During the first quarter of 2008, Fidelity has recognized the probability of lower market interest rates and has kept its certificate of deposit maturities short-term and its money market accounts at as low a rate as possible without incurring substantial deposit runoff. On the asset side, the duration of the investment portfolio remained short as securities which were called during the first quarter of 2008 were replaced with similar structures. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the investment portfolio's duration was 2.8 years. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2008, the fixed rate loan portfolio was expanded to $63.5 million, or 19% of the total loan portfolio, as compared to $51.6 million, or 16% at December 31, 2007.

The following table reflects the result of simulation analysis on the March 31, 2008 asset and liabilities balances:

Change in interest rates (basis points)	Percentage change in net interest income	Percentage change in market value of portfolio equity
+200	16.1%	7.0%
+100	9.2%	5.2%
0	—	—
-100	-5.2%	-9.3%
-200	-10.2%	-21.1%

The results of simulation are within the policy limits adopted by Fidelity. For net interest income, Fidelity has adopted a policy limit of 10% for a 100 basis point change and 15% for a 200 basis point change. For the market value of equity, Fidelity has adopted a policy limit of 15% for a 100 basis point change and 20% for a 200 basis point change.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or re-pricing periods, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of

137

assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. The effect of competition on loan and deposit pricing may vary from the assumptions used in performing the rate shock analysis. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the loan. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of a significant interest rate increase.

GAP Analysis

Banks and other financial institutions earnings are significantly dependent upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.

In falling interest rate environments, net interest income is maximized with longer term, higher yielding assets being funded by lower yielding short-term funds, or what is referred to as a negative mismatch or GAP. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, net interest income is maximized with shorter term, higher yielding assets being funded by longer-term liabilities or what is referred to as a positive mismatch or GAP.

Based on the current economic environment, management has been attempting to extend the duration of assets (both investments and loans) and emphasizing the acquisition of variable rate deposits and shorter-term certificates of deposit. However, with the rapid decline in interest rates since September 2007, Fidelity has not had sufficient time to reposition its balance sheet from its asset sensitive position to avoid declines in its net interest margin. While management believes that continuing its repositioning strategy to create a reasonable balance between re-pricing assets and liabilities will assist in managing its interest rate risk and maximizing its net interest margin within plan objectives, there can be no assurance as to actual results.

The GAP position, which is a measure of the difference in maturity and re-pricing volume between assets and liabilities, is a means of monitoring the sensitivity of a financial institution to changes in interest rates. The chart below provides an indication of the sensitivity of Fidelity to changes in interest rates. A positive GAP indicates the degree to which the volume of repriceable assets exceeds repriceable liabilities in given time periods. At March 31, 2008, Fidelity had a positive GAP position of approximately 31% of total assets out to three months and a positive cumulative GAP position of 14% out to 12 months, as compared to a three month positive GAP of 42% and a 12 month positive cumulative GAP of 17% at December 31, 2007 and a three month positive GAP of 46% and a 12 month positive cumulative GAP of 28% at December 31, 2006.

The reduction in the positive 12 month cumulative GAP position at March 31, 2008 as compared to December 31, 2007 was due primarily to the shortening of certificate of deposit maturities and the increase in mortgage-backed securities holdings.

The change in the positive 12 month cumulative GAP position at December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006 was due primarily to the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations as their loans held for sale were of short duration and their borrowings to fund those loans were variably priced. The current position is within guideline limits established by the ALCO.

If interest rates continue to decline, Fidelity's net interest income and margin over twelve months may be negatively impacted because of the positive mismatch position combined with a more competitive business environment for both deposits and loans. Conversely, should interest rates rise, Fidelity's net interest income may be positively impacted because of that mismatch. Because competitive market behavior does not necessarily track the trend of interest rates but at times moves ahead of financial market influences, the change in the cost of liabilities may be different than anticipated by the GAP model.

138

Management has carefully considered its strategy to maximize interest income by reviewing interest rate levels, economic indicators and call features within its investment portfolio. These factors have been discussed with the ALCO and management believes that current strategies are appropriate to current economic and interest rate trends.

Although interest-bearing transaction accounts and money market accounts (which are managed rates) are subject to re-pricing as a whole category of deposits, the Bank's GAP model has incorporated a re-pricing schedule to account for the historical lag in effecting rate changes and the amount of those rate changes relative to the amount of rate change in assets. However, this measurement of interest rate risk sensitivity represents a static position as of a single day and is not necessarily indicative of Fidelity's position at any other point in time, does not take into account the differences in sensitivity of yields and costs on specific assets and liabilities to changes in market rates, and it does not take into account the specific timing of when changes to a specific asset or liability will occur.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Any assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces, as well as the overall level of growth. The adequacy of Fidelity's current and future capital needs is monitored by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses. The capital resources of Fidelity were inadequate to both support the growth opportunities of F&T Bank and sustain F&T Mortgage through the mortgage industry crisis. Thus, Fidelity's Board and management began a search for a buyer for F&T Mortgage in the first quarter of 2007. As the mortgage market conditions continued to deteriorate, the opportunities for effectuating such a sale diminished. By the time a sale of certain fixed assets of F&T Mortgage was completed on August 20, 2007, Fidelity had sustained significant losses from F&T Mortgage operations and those losses continued through the first three months of 2008 as mortgage operations were discontinued and assets were sold in a declining market. Those sales and subsequent wind-down activities had a substantial negative effect on Fidelity's capital.

139

The capital position of Fidelity's wholly owned subsidiary, F&T Bank, which is the sole owner of F&T Mortgage, met the regulatory requirements of a well-capitalized institution until the third quarter of 2007. F&T Bank currently meets the regulatory requirements of an adequately capitalized institution. The primary measures used by bank regulators to measure capital are the Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and leverage ratios. Tier 1 capital for F&T Bank consists of common stockholders' equity, including retained earnings of F&T Bank and F&T Mortgage. Total risk-based capital consists of Tier 1 capital, qualifying subordinated debt, and the qualifying portion of the allowance for credit losses, 100% of which qualifies at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 94% of which qualified at December 31, 2006. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted assets, which are prescribed by regulation. The Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio is often referred to as the leverage ratio.

At March 31, 2008, F&T Bank's leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 5.15%, 6.43% and 9.86%, respectively, and were in excess of those required to be classified as an "adequately capitalized" institution. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on F&T Bank's capital ratios.

The ability of Fidelity to continue to grow is dependent on the earnings of F&T Bank, and the ability to obtain additional funds for contribution to the Bank's capital, through additional borrowings, through the sale of additional common stock or preferred stock, or through the issuance of additional qualifying equity equivalents, such as subordinated debt or trust preferred securities. The capital levels required to be maintained by F&T Bank may be impacted as a result of continued losses incurred due to the wind-down of F&T Mortgage operations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto 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 changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods or services. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity, maturity structure and quality of assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Following effectiveness of the merger, the former holders of Fidelity common stock will become holders of Eagle common stock, and the rights of such holders will be determined by reference to the MGCL and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Eagle, rather than the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Fidelity.

The following discussion summarizes the material differences between the current rights of Fidelity shareholders and the rights they will have as Eagle shareholders, but does not purport to be a complete statement of all such differences, or a complete description of the specific provisions referred to in this summary. The identification of specific differences is not intended to indicate that other equally or more significant differences do not exist. The following comparison of shareholders' rights is necessarily a summary and is not intended to be complete or to identify all differences that may, under given situations, be material to Fidelity shareholders. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law, and Eagle's and Fidelity's respective articles of incorporation and bylaws.

140

Authorized Shares. The articles of incorporation of Eagle authorize the Eagle board of directors to issue, without further authorization by shareholders, up to twenty million (20,000,000) shares of Eagle common stock, and one million (1,000,000) shares of undesignated preferred stock which may be issued by the board of directors with such rights as the board in its discretion may determine. At Eagle's 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on May 22, 2008, Eagle shareholders will vote on an amendment to the articles of incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Eagle common stock to fifty million (50,000,000). The existence of a class of authorized, undesignated preferred stock could have the effect of discouraging or rendering more difficult an attempted takeover of Eagle, or, alternatively, of facilitating a negotiated acquisition. The availability of additional shares of capital stock for issuance could have the effect of diluting the ownership interest of holders of Eagle common stock.

The articles of incorporation of Fidelity authorize the issuance of twenty five million (25,000,000) shares of capital stock, twenty million (20,000,000) of which are designated as common stock and five million (5,000,000) of which are undesignated preferred stock which may be issued by the board of directors with such rights as the board in its discretion may determine. The Fidelity board of directors may also reclassify any unissued shares of capital stock as a share of common stock, or as preferred stock having such rights as the board may in its discretion determine.

Voting Rights. The holders of Eagle common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted for a vote of shareholders, and are not permitted to cumulate votes in the election of directors. The undesignated preferred shares authorized by Eagle's articles could be issued with such voting rights as the Eagle board of directors determines at the time of issuance. The holders of Fidelity common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted for the vote of shareholders, and are not permitted to cumulate votes in the election of directors. The undesignated preferred shares and reclassifiable capital stock authorized by Fidelity's articles of incorporation could be issued with such voting rights as the Fidelity board of directors determines at the time of issuance.

Directors. The articles and bylaws of Eagle call for a board of directors of between three and twenty five directors, with the exact number to be determined by the resolution of the board of directors. Currently there are nine directors, all of which are elected at each annual meeting of shareholders for a one year term or until their successors are elected and qualified. The articles and bylaws of Fidelity call for a board of directors of between three and twenty directors, with the exact number to be determined by the resolution of the board of directors. The Fidelity articles of incorporation call for a classified board, with one class being elected at each annual meeting of shareholders for a three year term and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified.

In determining the rights of any class or series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued, the board of directors of Eagle and Fidelity may provide that any such class or series is entitled to elect one or more directors separately from the holders of other classes of capital stock.

The articles of Fidelity provide that directors may be removed at any time, but only for cause and upon the vote of the holders of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total number of votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. Eagle's articles of incorporation do not expressly address removal of directors, but under the MGCL, directors may be removed with or without cause, upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors, subject to the rights of any class of shares entitled to separately elect directors.

Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders of Eagle may be called by the President or a majority of the board of directors, or by the Secretary upon request of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. Additionally, shareholders of Eagle requesting a special meeting must pay the reasonably estimated costs of preparing and mailing a notice of such meeting prior to issuance of a notice for the meeting. Special meetings of the shareholders of Fidelity may be called

141

by a majority of the board of directors or by the Secretary upon the written request of not less than twenty five percent (25%) of all votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.

The conduct of business at special meetings of both Eagle and Fidelity is limited to the matters set forth in the notice.

Amendment of Articles/Bylaws. The articles of incorporation of both Eagle and Fidelity may be amended by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast thereon. The bylaws of both Eagle and Fidelity may only be amended by action of the board of directors.

Consideration of Business Combinations. The articles of both Eagle and Fidelity provide that where the board of directors evaluates a business combination or other offer of another party to make a tender or exchange offer for any equity security of the company; merge or consolidate the company with another company; purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the company; engage in any transaction similar to, or having similar effects as, any of the foregoing (a "business combination"), the directors shall consider, among other things, the following factors: the effect of the business combination on the company and its subsidiaries, and their respective shareholders, employees, customers and the communities which they serve; the timing of the proposed business combination; the risk that the proposed business combination will not be consummated; the reputation, management capability and performance history of the person proposing the business combination; the current market price of the company's capital stock; the relation of the price offered to the current value of the company in a freely negotiated transaction and in relation to the directors' estimate of the future value of the company and its subsidiaries as an independent entity or entities; tax consequences of the business combination to the company and its shareholders; and such other factors deemed by the directors to be relevant. The board of directors may consider all or certain of such factors as a whole and may or may not assign relative weights to any of them. The foregoing is not intended as a definitive list of factors to be considered by the board of directors in the discharge of their fiduciary responsibility to the company and its shareholders, but rather to guide such consideration and to provide specific authority for the consideration by the board of directors of factors which are not purely economic in nature in light of the circumstances of the company and its subsidiaries at the time of such proposed business combination.

Advance Written Notice of Shareholder Proposals and Nominations. The bylaws of both Eagle and Fidelity provide that a shareholder who wishes to make propose an item for consideration or a nomination for election of a candidate as a director at an annual meeting the shareholder, must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary. In general, to be timely, a shareholder's notice of a proposed business item must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the company not less than 30 and not more than 90 days before the date of any such annual meeting of shareholders. The bylaws contain specific information that must be provided in the notice. If a shareholder wishes to nominate a candidate for election as director, the shareholder must give notice to the secretary not later than 90 days prior to the month and day one year subsequent to the date that the proxy materials regarding the last election of directors were mailed to shareholders, in addition to meeting any additional requirements under applicable law. The bylaws contain specific information requirements for director nominations as well. Complying with the notice procedures in the bylaws will prevent a shareholder's motion from being declared improper at the meeting, but will not entitle the shareholder's proposal or nomination to be included in the company's proxy solicitation materials.

Restrictions on Business Combinations with Interested Shareholders. The MGCL imposes conditions and restrictions on certain "business combinations" (including, among other various transactions, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance of equity securities) between a Maryland corporation and any person who beneficially owns at least 10% of the corporation's stock (an "interested shareholder"). Unless approved in advance by the board of directors, or otherwise exempted by the statute, such a business combination is prohibited for a period of five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. After

142

such five-year period, a business combination with an interested shareholder must be: (a) recommended by the corporation's board of directors, and (b) approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) 80% of the corporation's outstanding shares entitled to vote and (ii) two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote which are not held by the interested shareholder with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other things, the corporation's common shareholders receive a "fair price" (as defined by the statute) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for his or her shares. While these provisions apply to Eagle, they are not impacted by the merger. The articles of Fidelity specifically make the provisions of the MGCL regarding interested shareholder business combinations applicable to Fidelity, but exclude Messrs. Tyson and Fiallo, and their affiliates, associates, spouses, children and persons who receive shares from them by gift, will or intestate succession from status as "interested shareholders."

Control Share Acquisition Statute. Under the MGCL's control share acquisition law, voting rights of shares of stock of a Maryland corporation acquired by an acquiring person at ownership levels of 20%, 33¹/3% and 50% of the outstanding shares are denied unless conferred by a special shareholder vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares held by persons other than the acquiring person and officers and directors of the corporation or, among other exceptions, such acquisition of shares is made pursuant to a merger agreement with the corporation or the corporation's charter or bylaws permit the acquisition of such shares prior to the acquiring person's acquisition thereof. Unless a corporation's charter or bylaws provide otherwise, the statute permits such corporation to redeem the acquired shares at "fair value" if the voting rights are not approved or if the acquiring person does not deliver a "control share acquisition statement" to the corporation on or before the tenth day after the control share acquisition. The acquiring person may call a shareholder's meeting to consider authorizing voting rights for control shares subject to certain disclosure obligations and payment of certain costs. If voting rights are approved for more than fifty percent of the outstanding stock, objecting shareholders may have their shares appraised and repurchased by the corporation for cash. As Eagle's acquisition of Fidelity is pursuant to the merger agreement between Eagle and Fidelity, the control share acquisition law is not applicable to the merger. The articles of Fidelity specifically make the provisions of the MGCL regarding control share acquisitions applicable to Fidelity, but exclude Messrs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

AND THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Description of Business — Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation ("F&T Financial") is a state-chartered bank holding company that was incorporated in the state of Maryland on July 29, 2003. The principal activity of F&T Financial is the ownership of Fidelity & Trust Bank ("F&T Bank"). F&T Bank is the parent company of Fidelity & Trust Mortgage, Inc. ("F&T Mortgage"), a residential mortgage banking company.

F&T Financial is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland and commenced business on November 14, 2003. On November 14, 2003, F&T Financial issued 1,466,905 shares of common stock, of which 855,555 common shares were issued to F&T Mortgage for all of its outstanding common and preferred stock. Also, on November 14, 2003, F&T Financial acquired all of the outstanding shares of F&T Bank, while F&T Bank acquired all of the outstanding shares of F&T Mortgage.

F&T Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank primarily engaged in the business of providing general commercial and consumer banking services to small-and medium-sized businesses, professionals, and consumers, as well as providing banking services to customers of F&T Mortgage. F&T Bank commenced operations on November 17, 2003 and operates from three branches in Maryland: Bethesda, Silver Spring and Rockville; two branches in Washington, DC: Eye Street and Georgetown; and one branch in Tysons Corner, Virginia. F&T Bank was managed as two business units, a Community Banking unit and a Mortgage Banking unit.

F&T Mortgage was incorporated in the state of Maryland on November 14, 2000, and commenced operations on August 1, 2001. F&T Mortgage was a full-service residential mortgage banking company that offered a broad array of home mortgage products through a team of loan originators and multiple lending offices. F&T Mortgage was headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland until August 20, 2007, when certain assets were sold and the sales force and lending offices were transferred to the purchaser. F&T Mortgage discontinued originating loans on that date and a small wind-down staff was retained to fund the remaining pipeline and sell the mortgage loans held for sale. Note 22 discusses the impact of the discontinued operations.

The accounting and reporting policies of F&T Financial are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The more significant of these policies are discussed below.

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of F&T Financial, F&T Bank, and F&T Mortgage (collectively, "Fidelity & Trust"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements — The consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited; however, they reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year, or for any other period.

Use of Estimates — Management of Fidelity & Trust has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally

F-9

accepted in the United States of America. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for representations and warranties and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk — Most of Fidelity & Trust's activities are with customers located within the metropolitan Washington, D.C. region. Note 3 discusses the types of securities in which Fidelity & Trust invests. Notes 5 and 6 discuss the types of lending in which Fidelity & Trust engages. Fidelity & Trust does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold, all of which mature in 90 days or less.

Investment Securities — Investments in debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value, based on quoted market prices, with net unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. There were no such charges in the first quarter of 2008 or in the years ended 2007 or 2006.

Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — Fidelity & Trust adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activity, an amendment of SFAS No. 133, SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of SFAS No. 133.

In 2006, F&T Mortgage initiated the use of mortgage-backed securities futures, a type of derivative instrument, and continued the use of U.S. Treasury futures, another type of derivative instrument, to mitigate the risk of uncommitted mortgage loans. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, at their respective fair values, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the derivative. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge under SFAS No. 133, all gains or losses from the change in the derivative's estimated fair value are recognized in earnings. The gains or losses from the change in estimated fair value of derivatives that qualify as hedges under SFAS No. 133 are recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the type of hedge relationship. Fidelity & Trust does not qualify for fair value or cash flow hedge accounting treatment, therefore all gains or losses are recognized in earnings for the first quarter of 2008 and for the years ended 2007 and 2006. F&T Mortgage ceased derivative activity in the second quarter of 2007.

Portfolio Loans — Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income and deferred costs. Interest income is accrued on loans as earned on the outstanding principal balances. Nonrefundable loan fees and direct origination costs are deferred and recognized over the lives of the related loans as adjustments of yield. Accrual of interest is discontinued when management believes, after considering economic business conditions and collection efforts, the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Any accrued interest considered uncollectible is charged against interest income.

F-10

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is a current estimate of the probable losses inherent in the current loan portfolio based upon management's evaluation of that portfolio. Estimates of probable losses inherent in the portfolio involve the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature, volume and quality of the loan portfolio, prior loss experience, level of nonperforming loans, current and anticipated general economic conditions and the value and adequacy of collateral.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on all current information and events, it is probable that Fidelity & Trust will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement, including all scheduled principal and interest payments. Such impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the loan's observable market price, or if, the loan is collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance. Loans for which foreclosure is probable continue to be accounted for as loans. Upon foreclosure, loans are reclassified as other real estate owned.

Each impaired loan is evaluated to determine the income recognition policy. Payments received are applied in accordance with the contractual terms of the note or as a reduction of principal.

Loans Held for Sale — SFAS No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, requires the deferral of loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs over the estimated life of the loans for loans originated and not sold as of the end of the year. Fidelity & Trust has deferred the fees and costs attributable to these loans and will recognize them at the time of sale of the loans.

In March 2004, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105 to provide accounting guidance related to the timing of recognition of income on loan commitments. The pronouncement stated that all loan income is deferred until the loan is sold. Fidelity & Trust instituted this policy during the second quarter of 2004.

In April 2002, the FASB issued final accounting guidance related to interest rate lock commitments. Based on the operations of Fidelity & Trust, all interest rate lock commitments are considered derivatives. Fidelity & Trust stopped making interest rate lock commitments on August 20, 2007 and the final commitment was honored on September 11, 2007.

Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded in the aggregate at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for mortgage loans held for sale are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgage loans, which are not reflected in the basis adjustment on closed loans in accordance with SFAS No. 133, are recognized at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds of the loans and related servicing and the carrying value of the mortgage loans sold.

Recognition of gains and losses is based on SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, which was effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. SFAS No. 140 is based on consistent application of a financial-concepts approach that focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.

F-11

Cash flows from the origination and sale of mortgage loans held for sale are reported as cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the periods presented.

Receivables — Receivables consist of funds due from various investors and borrowers.

Premises and Equipment — Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, for leasehold improvements, the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the underlying lease. These estimated useful lives range from one to ten years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the books, and gain or loss on disposition is credited or charged to earnings.

Income Taxes — Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Comprehensive income (loss) represents all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from recognized transactions and other economic events during the period. Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are included in comprehensive income (loss) but excluded from net income (loss). Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are the components of Fidelity & Trust's other comprehensive income (loss).

Earnings per Share — Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Earnings per share, assuming dilution, is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding and the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if any dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

Other Real Estate Owned — Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new book value. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Below are the new accounting pronouncements that relate to activities in which Fidelity & Trust is engaged:

SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies when accounting principles generally accepted in the /United States (GAAP) requires or allows assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and, therefore, does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstance. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Fidelity & Trust adopted

F-12

SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have any impact on its balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. The adoption of this standard resulted in additional disclosures which are presented in Note 4. In February 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which provided for a one-year deferral of the implementation of this standard for other non-financial assets and liabilities, effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. This additional guidance is not expected to have a material impact on Fidelity & Trust's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement allows entities the option to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value as of specified dates. Such election, which may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. This Statement requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the company's choice to use fair value on its earnings. Statement No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Fidelity & Trust has elected not to measure any new financial instruments at fair value, as permitted in SFAS No. 159, but to continue recording its financial instruments in accordance with current practice.

SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 151

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This statement requires noncontrolling or minority interests in subsidiaries be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity, and that the amount of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Fidelity & Trust does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS No. 140-3, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 140-3, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions, which provides a consistent framework for the evaluation of a transfer of a financial asset and subsequent repurchase agreement entered into with the same counterparty. FSP FAS No. 140-3 provides guidelines that must be met in order for an initial transfer and subsequent repurchase agreement to not be considered linked for evaluation. If the transactions do not meet the specified criteria, they are required to be accounted for as one transaction. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively to initial transfers and repurchase financings for which the initial transfer is executed on or after adoption. Fidelity & Trust does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement requires specific disclosures regarding the location and amounts of derivative instruments in the financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years

F-13

and interim periods after November 15, 2008. Early application is permitted. Fidelity & Trust does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

FIN No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies when tax benefits should be recorded in financial statements, requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax matters and indicates how any tax reserves should be classified in a balance sheet. FIN 48 is effective for Fidelity & Trust in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The application of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on Fidelity & Trust's consolidated financial statements.

Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. This bulletin provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of prior year misstatements in quantifying the materiality of current year misstatements. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this bulletin did not have a material impact on Fidelity & Trust's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications — Reclassifications to prior year amounts have been made to conform to current year presentation for the discontinued operations identified during 2007, as noted in Note 22.

2. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

Under Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) regulations, banks are required to maintain cash reserves based upon average deposits. Assets qualified to meet these reserve requirements consist of vault cash and balances on deposit with the FRB. F&T Bank's reserve requirements were $1.2 million, $897,000 and $718,000 for the periods ending March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

United States Government Sponsored Enterprise ("GSE") Securities

Fidelity's investments in GSE securities consist of debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), and the Federal Farm Credit Bank ("FFCB"). At March 31, 2008, there was no decline in market value below cost in this segment of Fidelity's securities portfolio.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

Fidelity's investments in mortgage-backed securities consist of GSE mortgage-backed securities and government agency mortgage-backed securities. The unrealized losses on Fidelity's investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases from the date of purchase. The contractual cash flows of those investments in GSE mortgage-backed securities are debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"). The cash flows related to government agency mortgage-backed securities are direct obligations of the U.S. Government. The decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because Fidelity has the ability and intent to hold those securities until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, Fidelity does not consider those securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2008.

The remaining contractual maturity distribution of debt securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2008 (unaudited) is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

Due
Within one year	$	8,000	$	8,089	$	89
After one year through five years		13,075		13,169		94
After five years through ten years		19,131		19,539		408
After ten years		42,332		43,145		813

	$	82,538	$	83,942	$	1,404

F-16

The remaining contractual maturity distribution of debt securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2007 is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

Due
Within one year	$	9,999	$	10,008	$	9
After one year through five years		21,682		21,678		(4	)
After five years through ten years		15,203		15,424		221
After ten years		41,418		41,755		337

	$	88,302	$	88,865	$	563

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no sales of securities available-for-sale.

F&T Bank regularly reviews its investment portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in fair value of an investment is other than temporary. Based on its evaluation, F&T Bank has concluded that the declines in the fair values of the investments at March 31, 2008 are temporary.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fidelity & Trust adopted SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159, effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. This standard applies to all financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis. For Fidelity & Trust, this includes the investment securities available-for-sale ("AFS") portfolio.

As defined in SFAS No. 157, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, Fidelity & Trust uses various methods including market and income approaches. Based on these approaches, Fidelity & Trust often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. Fidelity & Trust utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, Fidelity & Trust is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1		Quoted prices for identical instruments that are highly liquid, observable and actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Level 1 financial instruments typically include U.S. Treasury securities.
Level 2		Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable and can be corroborated by market data. Level 2 financial instruments typically include U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities.

F-17

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category typically includes private label mortgage-backed securities, impaired loans and mortgage servicing rights.

In determining the appropriate levels, Fidelity & Trust performs a detailed analysis of assets and liabilities that are subject to SFAS No. 157. As of March 31, 2008, all of Fidelity & Trust's financial liabilities are reported at their carrying value. The following tables present information about Fidelity & Trust's assets measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2008. These assets are reported on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. As required by SFAS No. 157, financial assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

Securities available-for-sale and loans held for sale are the only balance sheet categories Fidelity & Trust is required by generally accepted accounting principles to account for at fair value. The following tables present information about Fidelity & Trust's assets measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2008, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by Fidelity & Trust to determine such fair value.

Assets measured at Fair Value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008

Valuation Methodologies

Securities Available-for-Sale — The fair values of available-for-sale securities are generally determined by reference to quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.

Loans Held for Sale — The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for mortgage loans held for sale are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party purchasers, when available.

5. PORTFOLIO LOANS

Major categories of portfolio loans at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006, are as follows:

		March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)			December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)		March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)			2007			2006

Real estate		$	234,243		$	222,227		$	119,691
Commercial			101,269			95,918			73,939
Consumer			1,701			1,639			1,699

	Total		337,213			319,784			195,329
Deferred fees and costs — net			(339	)		(382	)		(226	)

Portfolio loans — net, before allowance for loan losses		$	336,874		$	319,402		$	195,103

Primarily all of F&T Bank's portfolio loans at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006, consist of loans made within the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area. This includes real estate loans made for acquisition, renovation, or development for which a deed of trust on the subject property is the primary collateral.

Allowance for Portfolio Loan Losses — While management uses available information to recognize losses on portfolio loans, future additions to the allowance for existing loans may be necessary based on changes in economic and borrower conditions. Management believes that adequate allowances have been established to reflect possible losses on loans as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Changes in the allowance for portfolio loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, are as follows:

	March 31,						December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2008			2007			2007			2006

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006, F&T Bank had no other loans on nonaccrual other than those deemed to be impaired loans.

6. LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Mortgage loans that F&T Mortgage originated with the intent to sell in the foreseeable future are initially recorded at cost including any premium or discount. Loans held for sale are carried on the books at the lower of cost or fair value calculated on an aggregate basis by type of loan. A lower of cost or market adjustment is recorded against mortgage loans held for sale when an aggregate pool of loans has a fair value below its cost. Mortgage loans held for sale, net, as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006, are as follows:

	March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)			December 31,

Reserve for Representations and Warranties — The reserve for representations and warranties is established for contingencies related to loans sold to investors with recourse. F&T Mortgage sold loans with recourse related to issues of fraud, early payment defaults or early loan payoffs. The reserve is established through charges to gains on sales of mortgage loans when management believes there is the likelihood that losses will be incurred on sold loans. Estimates of losses involve the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature, volume and quality of the loans held for sale portfolio, prior loss experience and current and anticipated general economic conditions.

10. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

On August 24, 2006, F&T Mortgage entered into a Loan Participation Sale Agreement (LPS) with a warehouse lender. The commitment amount was $100 million. F&T Mortgage had no loans sold to the investor on the LPS line as of March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007 and $47.3 million of mortgage loans sold to the investor on the LPS line as of December 31, 2006. The loans are considered sold; however, the service release premium is paid subsequent to the sale date, based on predetermined criteria. There was no outstanding receivable balance due as of March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007 and an outstanding receivable balance of $1.0 million was due at December 31, 2006.

At December 31, 2006, F&T Mortgage maintained a warehouse line of credit with an investor with a commitment amount of $100 million. The warehouse line of credit was secured by the underlying loans held for sale and was repaid upon the sale of the mortgage loans. F&T Mortgage had a total of $72.4 million at December 31, 2006 in outstanding borrowings under this facility. F&T Bank purchased the line of credit from the investor, including the security interest in the underlying loans held for sale, on October 4, 2007.

The interest rates on the warehouse lines of credit as of December 31, 2006 ranged from 30-day LIBOR plus 1.50% to 3.50% based on the type of loan and lending requirements. At December 31, 2006, the interest rates on the amounts outstanding under the warehouse lines of credit were approximately 6.95%. F&T Mortgage had no warehouse lines of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2007, F&T Financial maintained a $7 million revolving line of credit with EagleBank. That line was increased to $9 million in March 2008. The line is secured by F&T Financial's stock in F&T Bank. F&T Financial had a total of $9 million and $3 million in outstanding borrowings under this line as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The interest rate on the line is prime minus 0.25% and the line expires on September 29, 2008. The interest rate on the line was 5% and 7% at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The line is expected to be paid in full at the time of the merger with Eagle Bancorp, Inc.

Fidelity & Trust believes that a valuation allowance with respect to the realization of the total gross deferred tax assets related to F&T Mortgage is necessary due to the magnitude of the losses incurred by F&T Mortgage and the discontinuation of its operations. Based on Fidelity & Trust's historical taxable income, future expectations of taxable income, and the reversal of gross deferred tax liabilities, management believes it is more likely than not that Fidelity & Trust will realize all of the gross deferred tax assets existing at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 related to its continuing operations. However, there can be no assurance that Fidelity & Trust will generate taxable income in any future period or that the reversal of temporary differences attributable to gross deferred tax liabilities will occur during the future tax periods as currently expected.

12. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

F&T Bank is subject to various regulatory requirements. 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 F&T Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, F&T Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve the quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by the regulation to ensure capital adequacy require F&T Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, that F&T Bank met all capital adequacy requirements.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized F&T Bank as "adequately capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well-capitalized", F&T Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios, as set forth below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

A summary of F&T Bank's required and actual capital components is as follows:

	Actual				To be Adequately Capitalized				To be Well Capitalized
(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		Ratio %		Amount		Ratio %		Amount		Ratio %

As of March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

13. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

During 2007, F&T Financial repurchased 2,500 shares of stock at $11.50 per share and subsequently sold 4,364 shares to "accredited investors", as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, at $11.50 per share.

During 2006, F&T Financial issued 1,100 shares upon exercise of its stock options. Also during 2006, F&T Financial repurchased 106,546 shares of stock at $11.50 per share and subsequently sold 100,000 shares to "accredited investors", as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, at $11.50 per share.

Long-Term Incentive Plan — Fidelity & Trust's 2005 and 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plans ("the Plans"), which are shareholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options and shares to its employees, consultants, or other independent contractors and any nonemployee directors for up to 211,500 shares and 315,500 shares of Common Stock, respectively. As options are exercised, new shares are issued from common stock authorized but not yet issued. Fidelity & Trust believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees, consultants and directors with those of its shareholders. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of F&T Financial's stock on the date of grant, which, as the stock is not publicly traded, is the fair market value determined by the Board in good faith. The option awards generally vest based on 4 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. No share awards have been issued. Option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).

Fidelity & Trust implemented SFAS No. 123 (R), Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, on January 1, 2006, and is now required to recognize an expense over the required service period for any stock options granted after that date. Prior to January 1, 2006, Fidelity & Trust accounted for its stock-based compensation in accordance with the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which did not require recognition of compensation cost. The compensation cost that was charged against income for the Plans was $50,000 and $1,000 for 2007 and 2006, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement was $9,000 and less than $1,000 for 2007 and 2006, respectively. There was no compensation cost charged against income for the Plans in the first three months of 2008.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of F&T Financial's stock and other factors. Fidelity & Trust uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. There were no option grants in the first three months of 2008.

	2007		2006

Expected volatility	5.0	%	5.0	%
Weighted-average volatility	5.0	%	5.0	%
Expected dividends	0.0	%	0.0	%
Expected term (in years)	9.8		9.9
Risk-free rate	4.6	%	4.5	%

15. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Fidelity & Trust had employment agreements with several officers. These agreements have various terms, and automatically renew for additional periods unless either Fidelity & Trust or the officer gives written notice to terminate prior to the expiration of the initial term.

16. 401(K) PLAN

Fidelity & Trust has a defined contribution 401(k) plan. All employees who are at least 18 years of age are eligible to participate on the first day of the month following their hire date. Under the Plan, employees may contribute a percentage or dollar amount of their annual salary, subject to statutory limitations. Under the terms of the Plan, Fidelity & Trust may make discretionary contributions but is not required to do so. Fidelity & Trust made discretionary contributions totaling $78,000 and $144,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. No contributions have been made in the first quarter of 2008.

17. LEASE COMMITMENTS

Fidelity & Trust leases certain real property under long-term operating lease agreements. A schedule summarizing future minimum lease payments under these operating leases at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2008 Amount (Unaudited)		December 31, 2007 Amount

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

Fidelity & Trust is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet its investment and funding needs and the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to purchase investment securities and commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement Fidelity & Trust has in particular classes of financial instruments.

Fidelity & Trust's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. Fidelity & Trust uses the same credit and collateral policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some commitments may expire without being funded, the commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Fidelity & Trust evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

Commitments to lend at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006 are summarized as follows:

	March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)		December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)		2007		2006

Mortgage loan origination commitments	$	-	$	-	$	21,428
Commitments to extend credit		89,036		97,834		58,608
Standby letters of credit		9,045		6,214		4,124

19. LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

Various legal claims can arise from time to time in the normal course of business. There were no significant asserted claims or assessments that management believes could result in a material impact to the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows of Fidelity & Trust at the balance sheet date. In connection with the discontinuation of F&T Mortgage operations, several mortgage loan purchasers have entered into actions against F&T Mortgage in connection with certain mortgage loan sales. Based on the opinion of counsel, management believes the results of those actions would be restricted to F&T Mortgage only. The total range of loss, if any, is not known at this time however, reserves of $160,000 and $175,000 were established as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, for some of these claims.

20. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate that value:

(a): Cash and Cash Equivalents — For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(b): Securities Available-for-Sale — For U.S. agencies, quoted market prices are used to estimate fair value. If a quoted market price is not readily available, as is the case for equity securities such as Federal Reserve Bank stock, management believes that the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(c): Portfolio Loans — The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows of the loans using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
(d): Loans Held for Sale — The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(e): Receivables — The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(f): Non-Interest Bearing Deposits — The fair values of these deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, since generally accepted accounting standards does not permit an assumption of core deposit value.
(g): Interest Bearing Deposits — The carrying values of passbook and money market savings accounts are reasonable estimates of fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
(h): Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements — The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(i): Short-Term Borrowings — The fair values for short-term borrowings are determined based on interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
(j): Derivative Financial Instruments — The fair values for securities futures contracts are based on the amounts required to settle the contracts.
(k): Off-Balance Sheet Credit-Related Instruments — Fair values for off-balance sheet credit-related instruments, commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters of credit, are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.

The estimated fair values of Fidelity & Trust's financial instruments at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006, are as follows:

21. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

F&T Mortgage had derivative financial instruments in the form of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities futures contracts which were used to manage interest rate risk in the mortgage loan pipeline. F&T Mortgage had no derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2006, F&T Mortgage was party to multiple Treasury futures contracts totaling $37.1 million in notional amount which expired in March 2007 and mortgage-backed securities futures contracts totaling $18 million in notional amount which expired in January 2007. These contracts were used to manage the interest rate risk on the mortgage loan pipeline held for sale under bulk trades.

The derivative financial instruments did not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes as defined by SFAS No. 133. As such, the fair value of the derivative financial instruments was reflected as an asset or a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets with the offset recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments, net, in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair values of the derivative financial instruments were gains of $258,000 as of December 31, 2006.

22. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On August 20, 2007, F&T Mortgage and F&T Bank executed an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell certain assets of F&T Mortgage to a third-party buyer, with the intention of no longer originating and selling residential mortgage loans. F&T Mortgage's loan origination activities ceased in September 2007 after the completion of the final interest rate lock commitment. F&T Mortgage ceased accepting loan applications on August 20, 2007. As part of the asset sale, all F&T Mortgage branch locations and branch personnel transferred to the purchaser. Assets sold included furniture, fixtures and equipment, computer hardware and leasehold improvements of the branch locations transferred to the purchaser and the related security deposits and rental payments advanced for those branches. Total proceeds of sale were $404,635 with no gain or loss recorded on sale as the assets were sold at current book value. No mortgage loans were sold to the purchaser. The remaining assets of F&T Mortgage were loans held for sale of approximately $75 million, of which substantially all have been sold to independent third-parties and F&T Mortgage's corporate headquarters closed as of December 31, 2007. The remaining $15 million of unpaid principal balance in loans held for sale are intended to be sold and buyers are in the process of being sought out. As of March 31, 2008, these loans were recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value, and as such, were valued at approximately $10 million.

Fidelity & Trust assessed the classification of the operations and cash flows from F&T Mortgage in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and concluded that it met the conditions in order for the results of operations and cash flows to be reported as discontinued operations. Based on the transaction described above, the operations and cash flows of F&T Mortgage have been eliminated from ongoing operations. Furthermore, Fidelity & Trust has no significant continuing involvement in the assets and liabilities sold from F&T Mortgage. Fidelity & Trust has been involved in selling the remaining assets held for sale, but has no further involvement or intentions of continuing the business of originating residential mortgage loans for the purpose of resale. Furthermore, the assets of F&T Mortgage which were sold included the loan origination platform, branch locations, and human capital of the origination operation. F&T Bank has no intention of beginning to originate loans to be sold.

The major asset and liability categories of net discontinued operations as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows (in thousands):

ARTICLE II

CONSIDERATION AND CONVERSION OF SHARES

2.1. Conversion of Shares. (a) At the Effective Time, each of the outstanding shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Fidelity ("Fidelity Common Stock") (excluding shares of Fidelity Common Stock held in treasury or by any Fidelity Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), by Eagle or any Eagle Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), or Dissenting Shares (as hereinafter defined)), shall automatically, and without further action, be converted into and exchangeable for the right to receive 0.9202 shares of Eagle Common Stock (the "Conversion Ratio), subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(b) (the "Stock Consideration"). The Stock Consideration, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 2.1(b)(ii) are referred to herein collectively as the "Merger Consideration."

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(a):

(i) If at the Effective Time, the pro forma consolidated book value of Fidelity as of September 30, 2007, adjusted as set forth in this Section 2.1(b) would be below $7.50 per share, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted downward to the number of shares determined by dividing such pro forma book value per share by $8.15, calculated to four decimal places. Fidelity's September 30, 2007 pro forma book value per share shall be determined by adjusting Fidelity's adjusted September 30, 2007 book value of $31,552,620 by the net amount of following items only: (i) operating losses of Fidelity & Trust Mortgage Company ("F&T Mortgage"), expenses incurred by Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) in connection with the winding down of F&T Mortgage (including but not limited to lease and contract termination fees, severance obligations, salary and benefit expense, legal, accounting and consulting fees), and deficiencies on inter-company payments or liabilities due from F&T Mortgage to F&T Bank; (ii) losses on the sale of loans held for sale, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) increases to the allowance for loan losses necessary to conform to Eagle's policies for such items, to the extent such increases are in the aggregate in excess of $750,000; (v) increases to valuation adjustments for loans held for sale as may be determined pursuant to Section 6.5; (vi) reserves for litigation, litigation expenses and amounts paid or payable upon judgment or in settlement relating to such litigation as may be determined pursuant to Section 6.5, in the case of (ii) – (vi) to the extent such the aggregate of such amounts exceeds the amount reserved or provided for such items at September 30, 2007, which are as set forth on Exhibit C hereto; and (vii) any other agreed upon adjustments to Fidelity's book value, and dividing such adjusted book value by the number of shares of Fidelity Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2007, provided, however that an adjustment shall be made pursuant to this paragraph

A-4

only by the amount by which the net amount of the adjustments in (i) through (vi) above exceeds $400,000. In no event shall the adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)(i) result in an increase in the Conversion Ratio.

(ii) No certificate for fractional shares of Eagle Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exchange contemplated by the Merger, and holders of Fidelity Common Stock entitled to fractional shares shall be paid cash in lieu of such fractional shares, without interest, on the basis of the Market Value of a Share of Eagle Common Stock, with any fraction of a cent being rounded down to the next lower whole cent. The "Market Value of a Share of Eagle Common Stock" shall be equal to the average of the per share closing price for Eagle Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date which is two business days before the Closing Date (the "Market Value Determination Period"), as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"), calculated to four decimals. In the event that there shall be no trade on any trading day within the foregoing period, or if Nasdaq shall fail to report a closing price on any such day, the closing price for such day shall be equal to the average of the closing bid price and the closing asked price as reported by Nasdaq on that day.

(iii) The Conversion Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted for dividends on Eagle Common Stock payable in shares of Eagle Common Stock or any combination or subdivision of the Eagle Common Stock the record date for which is after the date hereof but prior to the Effective Time.

(c) All shares of Fidelity Common Stock held by Fidelity as treasury shares, or held by any Fidelity Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), by Eagle or any Eagle Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), shall be cancelled and shall not be converted as provided in Sections 2.1(a). Any such treasury shares or shares held by any Fidelity Subsidiary shall not be considered outstanding.

(d) Each share of Holdings Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be unchanged, and shall continue to represent an issued and outstanding share of Holdings Common Stock.

(e) Each share of Eagle Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be unchanged, and shall continue to represent an issued and outstanding share of Eagle Common Stock.

2.2. Treatment of Fidelity Options. At the Effective Time, each option (the "Fidelity Options") issued and outstanding at the Effective Time under the Fidelity's 2004 Incentive Plan and 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Fidelity Option Plans"), shall be converted into and become options to purchase Eagle Common Stock. Eagle shall assume each Fidelity Option in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Fidelity Option Plan pursuant to which it was issued, the agreements evidencing grants thereunder and any other agreements between Fidelity and an optionee regarding Fidelity Options; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, each such Fidelity Option shall be exercisable solely for Eagle Common Stock; the number of shares of Eagle Common Stock which may be acquired pursuant to such Fidelity Option shall be the number of shares of Fidelity Common Stock subject to such Fidelity Option multiplied by the Conversion Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share; and the exercise price per share shall be equal to the exercise price per share of Fidelity Common Stock divided by the Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. It is intended that the foregoing assumption and adjustment shall be effected in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as to each Fidelity Option which is an incentive stock option.

2.3. Exchange Procedures. (a) Eagle shall appoint its transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, or, with the written consent of Fidelity, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, another agent independent of and unaffiliated with Eagle or Fidelity (the "Exchange Agent"), for the purpose of exchanging certificates representing Fidelity Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Eagle shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Fidelity Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, or shall duly authorize and direct issuance by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section of, (i) certificates

A-5

representing the shares of Eagle Common Stock that constitute the Stock Consideration, or shall duly authorize the issuance of evidences of uncertificated shares of Eagle Common Stock; and (ii) an amount of cash necessary to satisfy the cash in lieu portion of the Merger Consideration.

(b) As promptly as practicable, but in no event more than 10 days, after the Effective Time, Eagle shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of record of Fidelity Common Stock a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates to the Exchange Agent) for use in the exchange of such shares of Fidelity Common Stock for the Merger Consideration into which such shares shall have been converted. As promptly as possible after receipt of the Exchange Agent notice, each former shareholder of Fidelity shall surrender his or her certificates to the Exchange Agent; provided, that if any former shareholder of Fidelity shall be unable to surrender his Fidelity Common Stock certificates due to loss or mutilation thereof, he or she may make a constructive surrender by following the procedures customarily followed in the replacement of lost or mutilated certificates, including the posting of appropriate bond. Upon actual or constructive surrender of Fidelity Common Stock certificates from a former Fidelity shareholder, the Exchange Agent shall issue such shareholder, in exchange therefore, one or more certificates representing the number of whole shares of Eagle Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Fidelity Common Stock have been converted, or at the election of Eagle, a statement reflecting the issuance of uncertificated shares, together with a check in the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Eagle Common Stock.

(c) Eagle shall have the right to make rules, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity and effectiveness of letters of transmittal.

(d) All Fidelity Common Stock certificates must be surrendered to the Exchange Agent within twelve months of the Effective Time. In the event that any former shareholder of Fidelity shall not have properly surrendered his or her certificates within such period, the shares of Eagle Common Stock that would otherwise have been issued to such shareholder may, at the option of Eagle, be sold and the net proceeds of such sale, together with any cash in respect of fractional shares and any previously accrued dividends, shall be held by Eagle for such shareholder's benefit in a non-interest bearing deposit account at EagleBank or another depository institution, the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), chosen by Eagle in its discretion, and the sole right of such shareholder shall be the right to receive any certificates for Eagle common stock which have not been so sold, and to collect cash in such account, without interest. Subject to all applicable laws of escheat, such amounts shall be paid to such former shareholder of Fidelity, without interest, upon proper surrender of his or her Fidelity Common Stock certificates.

(e) All dollar amounts payable to any shareholder as a result of the payment of cash consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward), based on the aggregate consideration payable for all shares registered in such shareholder's name.

(f) Following the Effective Time, certificates which formerly represented shares of Fidelity Common Stock (except for certificates representing shares held in treasury or by any Fidelity Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), by Eagle or any Eagle Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity) or Dissenting Shares)) shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole shares of Eagle Common Stock into which they have been converted, except that until exchanged in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, the holders of such shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions or payments in respect of Eagle Common Stock.

2.4. Dissenters' Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each share of Fidelity Common Stock that is held by a shareholder ("Dissenting Stockholder") who properly exercises and perfects the right to demand and receive payment of the fair value for such share of Fidelity Common Stock (a "Dissenting Share") in accordance with Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL ("Dissenters Rights") shall not be converted into or exchanged for a right to receive any part of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement, but instead shall be deemed converted as of the Effective Time

A-6

into the right to receive such amount as shall be determined to be payable pursuant to Dissenters Rights in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MGCL, without interest (the "Dissenter Payment"). Any Dissenter Payment for each Dissenting Share shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MGCL. In the case of any Dissenting Shares held by a shareholder who effectively withdraws his/her exercise of Dissenters Rights in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MGCL or who fails to file a petition for appraisal within fifty (50) days after the Effective Time, such shares shall no longer be deemed Dissenting Shares but shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of this Article II, and the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall not apply to such shares or such shareholder.

Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purposes for which they were established, including timely alerting Eagle's principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information to be included in the Eagle SEC Reports under the Exchange Act.

(c) Eagle has established and maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Such internal control over financial reporting is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Eagle's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Eagle is not aware of (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in Eagle's internal control over financial reporting.

The September 30, 2007 consolidated balance sheet of Eagle (including the related notes, where applicable) fairly present the consolidated financial position of Eagle and its Subsidiaries as

A-9

of the date thereof, and the other financial statements referred to in this Section 3.5 hereof (including the related notes, where applicable) fairly present the results of the consolidated operations and changes in shareholders' equity and consolidated financial position of Eagle and its Subsidiaries for the respective fiscal periods or as of the respective dates therein set forth; each of such statements (including the related notes, where applicable) comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with published rules and regulations with respect thereto; and each of such statements (including the related notes, where applicable) has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q. The fiscal year-end audits of Eagle and its Subsidiaries have been conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The books and records of Eagle and its Subsidiaries have been, and are being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements and reflect only actual transactions.

As of their respective dates, the Eagle Reports complied and will comply in all material respects with all the statutes, rules and regulations enforced or promulgated by the regulatory authority with which they were filed and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

3.7. Subsidiaries. (a) Eagle directly owns all the shares of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings and EagleBank and all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each entity disclosed as a subsidiary in Exhibit 21 to Eagle's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007.

The minute books of Fidelity and F&T Bank accurately disclose all material corporate actions of their respective shareholders and Board of Directors and of all committees thereof.

(ii) No agreement, plan or arrangement disclosed or required to be disclosed in Section 4.14 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule would, as a result of this Agreement, the Merger, the Bank Merger Agreement or Bank Merger require Fidelity, any Fidelity Subsidiary, Eagle or any Eagle Subsidiary to make any payment in an amount which would constitute an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code, result in the imposition of any tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the nondeductibility of any portion of such payment, or require any "gross up" payment.

(c) Each agreement, plan or arrangement of Fidelity or any Fidelity subsidiary that constitutes a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" or provides for the payment of 'nonqualified deferred compensation", within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder ("Section 409A") has been operated in compliance with Section 409A. The execution, delivery and/or consummation of this Agreement, the Bank Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Bank Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the payment or acceleration of the amounts set forth under any agreement, plan or arrangement disclosed or required to be disclosed in Section 4.14 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule, shall not result in the payment to any person of any amounts which are required to be reported as "nonqualified deferred compensation" under Section 409A.

4.15. ERISA and Benefit Plans. Section 4.15 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list of Fidelity and any Fidelity Subsidiary's employee pension benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), profit sharing plans, stock purchase plans, deferred compensation and supplemental income plans, group insurance plans and all other employee welfare benefits plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, maintained for the benefit of the employees or former employees, including any beneficiaries thereof, and directors or former directors of Fidelity and any Fidelity Subsidiary. Fidelity has delivered to Eagle a true and correct copy of each such employee benefit plan. Other than as set forth in Section 4.15 of

A-19

the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule, neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary maintains any plans of the type described in this Section.

All "employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) comply in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, and all other federal, state, or local laws. The assets of Fidelity and the Fidelity Subsidiaries are not subject to any liens under ERISA or the Code with respect to any employee benefit plan of Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary or an Affiliate (as defined below), and no event has occurred, or condition exists, which could subject Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary or their respective assets to a future liability, obligation, or lien arising out of any employee benefit plan of Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary or an Affiliate.

All employee benefit plans currently or previously maintained, sponsored, or contributed to by Fidelity or F&T Bank have been administered, maintained, and operated in accordance with their terms. All contributions, payments, fees or expenses relating to each such employee benefit plan that were deducted by Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary for income tax purposes were properly deductible in the year claimed. There are no actions, claims (other than routine benefit claims made in the ordinary course), proceedings or inquiries, pending or threatened, with respect to any such employee benefit plan, and neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary has any knowledge of any fact which could give rise to any such action, claim, proceeding or inquiry. Neither Fidelity, Bank, nor any other person or entity who or which is a party in interest (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or disqualified person (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) has acted or failed to act with respect to any such employee benefit plan in any manner which constitutes: (1) a breach of fiduciary responsibility under ERISA; (2) a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (3) any other violation of ERISA or the Code. Neither Fidelity nor Bank is obligated to indemnify, reimburse, or contribute to the liabilities or expenses of any person or entity who may have committed or been involved in any such fiduciary breach, prohibited transaction, or ERISA or Code violation. Each such employee benefit plan which is intended to meet the requirements for tax-favored treatment under Subtitle A, Chapter 1 of the Code meets such requirements. Each such employee benefit plan that was intended to constitute a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has, at all times, been qualified, in form and operation, under Section 401(a) of the Code (including the adoption of all necessary amendments to maintain such qualification) and has received a favorable determination letter; any related trust is and has, at all times, been exempt from income tax, and there has been no development, event, action or omission which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualification or status of any such plan. Neither Fidelity, F&T Bank nor any Affiliate (as defined below) has ever maintained or contributed to a multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). All returns, reports, statements, notices, declarations or documents relating to an employee benefit plan that are required by law to be filed with or furnished to any federal, state, or local governmental agency have been timely filed. Any employee benefit plan (including any employee benefit plan of an Affiliate) that is a group health plan (as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) has complied in each and every case with the requirements of Sections 601 through 607 of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code and all other applicable federal, state, and local laws relating to continuation coverage (collectively "COBRA"), and no such plan provides benefits to former employees or their beneficiaries (except to the extent required under COBRA). Each employee benefit plan can be amended, modified, or terminated without participant consent and without additional liability accruing to Fidelity or F&T Bank after the date of Plan termination. For this purpose, liabilities accrued on or before the date of Plan termination shall be limited to the following: (1) in the case of an employee benefit pension plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA), the participant's "accrued benefit," as defined in Section 3(23) of ERISA; and (2) in the case of an employee welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA), claims for expenses, costs, or services (including, but not limited to, medical and other health care services) actually performed or incurred before the date of the Plan termination. Any prior amendment, modification, or termination of an employee benefit plan has been made in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable law.

For purposes of this Section 4.15, the term Affiliate means an entity included in the group of entities consisting of Fidelity or F&T Bank and all other entities that are treated as part of the same controlled group under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code.

Each such Material Contract is valid and in full force and effect, and all parties thereto have in all material respects performed all obligations thereunder required to be performed to date, and are not in material default. Each Material Contract, and each lease of real property reflected in Section 4.10 to the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule, is assumable and assignable without consent of the other party thereto and does not contain any provision increasing or accelerating payments otherwise due, or changing or modifying the provisions or terms of such Material Contract as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Except for the governmental approvals referred to in Section 4.4 and as set forth in Section 4.16 to the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule, no consent, permission acquiescence, approval, or authorization of or by any third party is required to permit Fidelity and F&T Bank to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and for Eagle, Holdings and EagleBank to have full use and enjoyment of each asset of Fidelity and F&T Bank.

Each extension of credit disclosed in Section 4.17 to the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule has been made in the ordinary course of business, and on the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable arms-length transactions, and does not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

(b) Each such loan was made in compliance with the provisions of applicable law and regulation, including but not limited to the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) No default (including any event or circumstance which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default) in respect of any material provision (including any default in payment) of any such loan exists, and Fidelity and F&T Bank have no knowledge of any borrower's inability to repay any of such loans when due, whether or not such borrower is currently in default.

(d) Neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary is a party to any oral loan or oral extension of credit.

(e) To the best of the knowledge of Fidelity and the Fidelity Subsidiaries, neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary has any liability or obligation to repurchase or reacquire any Loan, or purchase collateral in respect of any Loan, which was held for sale and which has previously been sold in the

A-21

ordinary course of Fidelity's discontinued mortgage origination/brokerage business (whether or not such loan has subsequently been reacquired by Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary) ("Sold Loans"), or to make any payment on any Sold Loan, or to make any payment to, reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless, or otherwise assume liability with respect to any loss, liability or expense incurred by, the purchaser (or subsequent purchaser) of any Sold Loan in respect of such Sold Loan, or is otherwise subject to any liability or recourse in respect of any Sold Loan. To the best of the knowledge of Fidelity and F&T Bank, neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary has any liability to any borrower as a result of the manner in which a Sold Loan was originated. Section 4.18(e) of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule sets forth detail with respect to any exceptions hereto, including but not limited to the nature and extent of the liability, any limits (in time or dollar amount) on such liability, the basis of such liability, the instrument under which such potential liability arises, the nature and amount of Loans resulting in such liability and the identity of the party to whom Fidelity or F&T Bank may have such liability.

(f) To the best of the knowledge of Fidelity and the Fidelity Subsidiaries, no Sold Loan was originated in violation of the representations and warranties contained or incorporated by reference in any contract or agreement pursuant to which such Loan was sold or assigned, including but not limited to any representation or warranty regarding the absence of fraud, misstatement of a material fact, omission of a material fact or a fact necessary to make the information provided not misleading, regarding the loan, the loan collateral, the borrower or the credit-worthiness of borrower), and any representation or warranty regarding the absence of any fact, circumstance or condition which would cause, or would reasonably be expected to cause, the purchaser of the Sold Loan, any subsequent purchaser, securitizer or guarantor of such loan (including but not limited to FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, FHA or the VA) to regard such loan as unacceptable as an investment, ineligible for insurance, or which would otherwise cause them to consider the value or marketability of such loan to be adversely affected.

(g) Neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary currently services any Loan, including any Sold Loan, not currently held in portfolio, for any third party. The servicing and collection practices of Fidelity and each Fidelity Subsidiary with respect to Sold Loans at all times complied with applicable laws, and was in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreements pursuant to which such Sold Loans were sold, whether such servicing was conducted by Fidelity, a Fidelity Subsidiary, their respective affiliates, a third party or a servicing agent of any of the foregoing.

There is no legal, administrative, arbitrarial or other proceeding, claim, action, cause of action or governmental proceeding or investigation of any nature whatsoever, seeking to impose, or that could result in the imposition, on Fidelity or F&T Bank of any liability arising under any local, state, or federal environmental statute, regulation, rule or ordinance, pending or, to the knowledge of Fidelity or F&T Bank, threatened against Fidelity or F&T Bank; and there is no reasonable basis for any of the foregoing; and neither Fidelity nor F&T Bank is subject to any agreement, order, judgment, decree or memorandum of any court, governmental authority, regulatory agency or third party imposing any such liability.

Opinion of Milestone Advisors, LLC

[Letterhead of Milestone Advisors, LLC]

December 2, 2007

Board of Directors
Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation
4831 Cordell Ave
Bethesda, MD 20814

Directors of Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation:

You have requested that Milestone Advisors, LLC ("Milestone") provide you with its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of common stock ("Stockholders") of Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation and its subsidiary Fidelity & Trust Bank (collectively, herinafter, "Fidelity & Trust") of the consideration to be received by them pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between Fidelity & Trust and Eagle Bancorp, Inc. ("Eagle") dated December 2, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Fidelity & Trust will be merged with and into Eagle (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement and as further described to us by management of Fidelity & Trust, we understand that, subject to the exercise of dissenters' rights, each outstanding share of common stock of Fidelity & Trust is to be converted into the right to receive .9202 Eagle common shares, equal to $11.50 based on Eagle's stock price on November 29, 2007 (assumes 4,207,016 primary shares outstanding and 507,570 options outstanding with a weighted average strike price of $10.75 per share). We further understand that the aggregate consideration payable by Eagle to the shareholders of Fidelity & Trust will convert into approximately 3,871,296 Eagle common shares and 467,066 options at a weighted average strike price of $11.68 per share, subject to adjustment as provided for and as more fully described in the Merger Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Merger are set forth in more detail in the Merger Agreement.

Milestone Advisors, LLC is an investment banking firm and is regularly engaged as part of its business in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, private placements, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, and valuations for corporate purposes.

For purposes of this opinion and in connection with our review of the Merger, we have, among other things: (1) reviewed the Merger Agreement, (2) reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to Fidelity & Trust and Eagle that we deem to be relevant, (3) reviewed certain internal information, primarily financial in nature, including financial projections and other financial and operating data relating to the strategic implications and operational benefits anticipated to result from the Merger, furnished to us by Fidelity & Trust and Eagle, (4) reviewed certain publicly available and other information concerning the reported prices and trading history of, and the trading market for, the common stock of Eagle, (5) reviewed certain publicly available information with respect to other companies that we believe to be comparable in certain respects to Fidelity & Trust and Eagle, (6) considered the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected recent business combinations of companies in the banking industry which we deemed to be comparable, in whole or in part, to the Merger, and (7) made inquiries regarding and discussed the Merger and the Merger Agreement and other matters related thereto with Fidelity & Trust and Fidelity & Trust's counsel. In addition to the foregoing, we have conducted such other analyses and examinations and considered such other financial, economic and market criteria as we deem appropriate to arrive at our opinion.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information provided to or reviewed by us, whether or not publicly available, and we have not assumed any responsibility for independent verification of any such information. With respect to financial projections and other information provided to or reviewed by us, we have been advised by the management of Fidelity & Trust and Eagle that such projections and other information were reasonably

B-2

prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective managements of Fidelity & Trust and Eagle as to the expected future financial performance of Fidelity & Trust and Eagle and the strategic implications and operational benefits anticipated from the Merger, and we have assumed that, after the Merger, Eagle and its subsidiaries will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. We further relied on the assurances of the management of Fidelity & Trust and Eagle that they are unaware of any facts that would make the information or projections provided to us incomplete or misleading. We have not made or been provided with any independent evaluations or appraisals of any of the assets, properties, liabilities or securities, nor have we made any physical inspection of the properties or assets, of Fidelity & Trust and Eagle. We are not experts in the evaluation of loan portfolios for purposes of assessing the adequacy of the allowances for losses with respect thereto and have assumed that such allowances for Fidelity & Trust and Eagle are in the aggregate adequate to cover such losses. In addition, we have not assumed responsibility for reviewing any individual credit files relating to Fidelity & Trust and Eagle. In addition, we are not expressing an opinion of the amount or nature of compensation paid to any of Fidelity & Trust's officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation paid to the public shareholders in the Merger.

Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Fidelity & Trust to enter into the Merger Agreement or complete the Merger.

Our opinion is based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this opinion. We have not undertaken to reaffirm or revise this opinion or otherwise comment upon any events occurring after the date hereof. This opinion has been reviewed and issued by Milestone's fairness opinion committee.

We have acted as financial advisor to Fidelity & Trust and will receive a fee from Fidelity & Trust for our services if the proposed Merger is consummated. In the ordinary course of our business, the principals of Milestone and its affiliates own common shares and options to acquire common shares of Fidelity & Trust and may actively trade the common stock of Eagle for their own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, we may at any time hold a long or short position in the common stock of Eagle. In addition: (1) Milestone and its affiliates have provided investment banking services to Fidelity & Trust over the last two years and have received fees for such services, (2) a board member of Fidelity & Trust provides advisory services to Milestone and its affiliates and receives compensation for such services, and (3) Milestone maintains banking relationships with Fidelity & Trust, all of which are on commercial terms.

This opinion is for the benefit and use of the members of the Board of Directors of Fidelity & Trust in connection with their evaluation of the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Fidelity & Trust common stock as to how such holder should vote with respect to the Merger. This opinion may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration is fair and equitable to Fidelity & Trust and the Stockholders from a financial point of view.

Sincerely,
Milestone Advisors, LLC

Opinion of Sandler O'Neill and Partners, L.P.

C-1

[Letterhead of Sandler O'Neill + Partners L.P.]

December 12, 2007

Board of Directors
Eagle Bancorp, Inc.
7815 Woodmont Avenue
Bethesda, MD 20814

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Eagle Bancorp, Inc. ("Eagle") and Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation ("Fidelity") have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 2, 2007 (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which Fidelity will merge with and into Fidelity, with Eagle as the surviving entity (the "Merger"). Under the terms of the Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Fidelity common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, (the "Fidelity Common Stock"), other than certain shares specified in the Agreement, will be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive 0.9202 shares of Eagle Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio"), subject to a reduction upon the occurrence of certain events as specified in the Agreement. The terms of the Merger are more fully described in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to Eagle.

Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P., as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) the Agreement; (ii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Eagle that we deemed relevant; (iii) certain publicly financial statements and other historical financial information of Fidelity that we deemed relevant; (iv) an internal budget for Eagle for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 prepared by and reviewed with management of Eagle and management guidance on an assumed asset growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010; (v) an internal budget for Fidelity for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 as provided by senior management of Fidelity and as adjusted by senior management of Eagle and management guidance, based on discussions with the senior management of Eagle and Fidelity on an assumed asset growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010; (vi) the pro forma financial impact of the Merger on Eagle based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by the senior managements of Eagle and Fidelity; (vii) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Eagle's common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Eagle with similar publicly available information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; (viii) the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial banking industry, to the extent publicly available; (ix) the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and (x) such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. We also discussed with certain members of senior management of Eagle the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Eagle and held similar discussions with certain members of senior management of Fidelity regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Fidelity.

In performing our review, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to us from public sources, that was provided to us by Eagle and Fidelity or its respective representatives or that was otherwise reviewed by us and have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion. We have further relied on the assurances of the management of Eagle and Fidelity that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. We have not been asked to and have

C-2

not undertaken an independent verification of any of such information and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Eagle and Fidelity or any of their respective subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Eagle and Fidelity nor have we reviewed any individual credit files relating to Eagle and Fidelity. We have assumed, with your consent, that the allowance for loan losses for Eagle and Fidelity are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on an as adjusted pro forma basis for the combined entity.

With respect to the internal budget and management guidance for Eagle as provided by the senior management of Eagle and the internal budget as provided by senior management of Fidelity and as adjusted by senior management of Eagle and management guidance for Fidelity as discussed with the managements of Fidelity and Eagle and the projections of transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and expected cost savings prepared by and/or reviewed with the managements of Eagle and Fidelity and used by Sandler O'Neill in its analyses, Eagle's and Fidelity's management confirmed to us that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the future financial performance of Eagle and Fidelity and we assumed that such performance would be achieved. We express no opinion as to the budget we received or the guidance provided by management and estimates or the assumptions on which they are based. We have also assumed that there has been no material change in Eagle's and Fidelity's assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have assumed in all respects material to our analysis that Eagle and Fidelity will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to the agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the agreements, that the conditions precedent in the agreements are not waived and that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Finally, with your consent, we have relied upon the advice Eagle has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. We are expressing no opinion herein as to what the value of Eagle's common stock will be when issued to Fidelity's shareholders pursuant to the Agreement or the price at which Eagle's common stock may trade at any time.

We have acted as Eagle's financial advisor in connection with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. We will also receive a fee for rendering this opinion. Eagle has also agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. In the past we have performed investment banking services for Eagle and have been compensated for such services.

In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may purchase securities from and sell securities to Eagle and their affiliates. We may also actively trade the equity or debt securities of Eagle or its affiliates for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Our opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of Eagle in connection with its consideration of the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of Fidelity as to how such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the Merger. Our opinion is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to Eagle and

C-3

does not address the underlying business decision of Eagle to engage in the Merger, the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative business strategies that might exist for Eagle or the effect of any other transaction in which Eagle might engage. Our opinion is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, in a registration statement, prospectus, proxy statement or in any other document, nor shall this opinion be used for any other purposes, without Sandler O'Neill's prior written consent. This opinion was approved by Sandler O'Neill's fairness opinion committee.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio is fair to Eagle from a financial point of view.

Very truly yours,

C-4

(ii) With respect to any other transaction, at or before the stockholders' meeting at which the transaction will be considered or, in the case of action taken under § 2-505(b) of this article, within 10 days after the corporation gives the notice required by § 2-505(b) of this article;

(2) May not vote in favor of the transaction; and

(3) Within 20 days after the Department accepts the articles for record, shall make a written demand on the successor for payment for the stockholder's stock, stating the number and class of shares for which the stockholder demands payment.

D-3

(b) Failure to comply with section. A stockholder who fails to comply with this section is bound by the terms of the consolidation, merger, share exchange, transfer of assets, or charter amendment.

§ 3-204. Effect of demand on dividend and other rights

A stockholder who demands payment for his stock under this subtitle:

(2) A petition for an appraisal is not filed within the time required by this subtitle;

(3) A court determines that the stockholder is not entitled to relief; or

(4) The transaction objected to is abandoned or rescinded.

(b) Effect of restoration. The restoration of a stockholder's rights entitles him to receive the dividends, distributions, and other rights he would have received if he had not demanded payment for his stock. However, the restoration does not prejudice any corporate proceedings taken before the restoration.

§ 3-207. Notice and offer to stockholders

(a) Duty of successor.

(1) The successor promptly shall notify each objecting stockholder in writing of the date the articles are accepted for record by the Department.

(2) The successor also may send a written offer to pay the objecting stockholder what it considers to be the fair value of his stock. Each offer shall be accompanied by the following information relating to the corporation which issued the stock:

(b) Manner of sending notice. The successor shall deliver the notice and offer to each objecting stockholder personally or mail them to him by certified mail, return receipt requested, bearing a postmark from the United States Postal Service, at the address he gives the successor in writing, or, if none, at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation which issued the stock.

D-4

§ 3-208. Petition for appraisal; consolidation of proceedings; joinder of objectors

(a) Petition for appraisal. Within 50 days after the Department accepts the articles for record, the successor or an objecting stockholder who has not received payment for his stock may petition a court of equity in the county where the principal office of the successor is located or, if it does not have a principal office in this State, where the resident agent of the successor is located, for an appraisal to determine the fair value of the stock.

(b) Consolidation of suits; joinder of objectors.

(1) If more than one appraisal proceeding is instituted, the court shall direct the consolidation of all the proceedings on terms and conditions it considers proper.

(2) Two or more objecting stockholders may join or be joined in an appraisal proceeding.

§ 3-209. Notation on stock certificate

(a) Submission of certificate. At any time after a petition for appraisal is filed, the court may require the objecting stockholders parties to the proceeding to submit their stock certificates to the clerk of the court for notation on them that the appraisal proceeding is pending. If a stockholder fails to comply with the order, the court may dismiss the proceeding as to him or grant other appropriate relief.

(b) Transfer of stock bearing notation. If any stock represented by a certificate which bears a notation is subsequently transferred, the new certificate issued for the stock shall bear a similar notation and the name of the original objecting stockholder. The transferee of this stock does not acquire rights of any character with respect to the stock other than the rights of the original objecting stockholder.

§ 3-210. Appraisal of fair value

(a) Court to appoint appraisers. If the court finds that the objecting stockholder is entitled to an appraisal of his stock, it shall appoint three disinterested appraisers to determine the fair value of the stock on terms and conditions the court considers proper. Each appraiser shall take an oath to discharge his duties honestly and faithfully.

(b) Report of appraisers—Filing. Within 60 days after their appointment, unless the court sets a longer time, the appraisers shall determine the fair value of the stock as of the appropriate date and file a report stating the conclusion of the majority as to the fair value of the stock.

(c) Same—Contents. The report shall state the reasons for the conclusion and shall include a transcript of all testimony and exhibits offered.

(d) Same—Service; objection.

(1) On the same day that the report is filed, the appraisers shall mail a copy of it to each party to the proceedings.

(2) Within 15 days after the report is filed, any party may object to it and request a hearing.

§ 3-211. Action by court on appraisers' report

(a) Order of court. The court shall consider the report and, on motion of any party to the proceeding, enter an order which:

(1) Confirms, modifies, or rejects it; and

(2) If appropriate, sets the time for payment to the stockholder.

D-5

(b) Procedure after order.

(1) If the appraisers' report is confirmed or modified by the order, judgment shall be entered against the successor and in favor of each objecting stockholder party to the proceeding for the appraised fair value of his stock.

(2) If the appraisers' report is rejected, the court may:

(i) Determine the fair value of the stock and enter judgment for the stockholder; or (ii) Remit the proceedings to the same or other appraisers on terms and conditions it considers proper.

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, a judgment for the stockholder shall award the value of the stock and interest from the date as at which fair value is to be determined under § 3-202 of this subtitle.

(2) The court may not allow interest if it finds that the failure of the stockholder to accept an offer for the stock made under § 3-207 of this subtitle was arbitrary and vexatious or not in good faith. In making this finding, the court shall consider:

(i) The price which the successor offered for the stock;

(ii) The financial statements and other information furnished to the stockholder; and

(iii) Any other circumstances it considers relevant.

(d) Costs of proceedings.

(1) The costs of the proceedings, including reasonable compensation and expenses of the appraisers, shall be set by the court and assessed against the successor. However, the court may direct the costs to be apportioned and assessed against any objecting stockholder if the court finds that the failure of the stockholder to accept an offer for the stock made under § 3-207 of this subtitle was arbitrary and vexatious or not in good faith. In making this finding, the court shall consider:

(i) The price which the successor offered for the stock;

(ii) The financial statements and other information furnished to the stockholder; and

(iii) Any other circumstances it considers relevant.

(2) Costs may not include attorney's fees or expenses. The reasonable fees and expenses of experts may be included only if:

(i) The successor did not make an offer for the stock under § 3-207 of this subtitle; or

(ii) The value of the stock determined in the proceeding materially exceeds the amount offered by the successor.

(e) Effect of judgment. The judgment is final and conclusive on all parties and has the same force and effect as other decrees in equity. The judgment constitutes a lien on the assets of the successor with priority over any mortgage or other lien attaching on or after the effective date of the consolidation, merger, transfer, or charter amendment.

D-6

§ 3-212. Surrender of stock

The successor is not required to pay for the stock of an objecting stockholder or to pay a judgment rendered against it in a proceeding for an appraisal unless, simultaneously with payment:

(1) The certificates representing the stock are surrendered to it, indorsed in blank, and in proper form for transfer; or

(2) Satisfactory evidence of the loss or destruction of the certificates and sufficient indemnity bond are furnished.

§ 3-213. Rights of successor with respect to stock

(a) General rule. A successor which acquires the stock of an objecting stockholder is entitled to any dividends or distributions payable to holders of record of that stock on a record date after the close of business on the day as at which fair value is to be determined under § 3-202 of this subtitle.

(b) Successor in transfer of assets. After acquiring the stock of an objecting stockholder, a successor in a transfer of assets may exercise all the rights of an owner of the stock.

(c) Successor in consolidation, merger, or share exchange. Unless the articles provide otherwise, stock in the successor of a consolidation, merger, or share exchange otherwise deliverable in exchange for the stock of an objecting stockholder has the status of authorized but unissued stock of the successor. However, a proceeding for reduction of the capital of the successor is not necessary to retire the stock or to reduce the capital of the successor represented by the stock.

PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Article VI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that the Company shall, to the full extent permitted and in the manner prescribed by the Maryland General Corporation Law and any other applicable law, indemnify a director or officer of the Company who is or was a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

The Maryland General Corporation Law provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

2-418 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.—(a) In this section the following words have the meanings indicated.

(1) "Director" means any person who is or was a director of a corporation and any person who, while a director of a corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan.

(2) "Corporation" includes any domestic or foreign predecessor entity of a corporation in a merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which the predecessor's existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction.

(3) "Expenses" include attorney's fees.

(4) "Official capacity" means the following:

(i) When used with respect to a director, the office of director in the corporation; and

(ii) When used with respect to a person other than a director as contemplated in sub-section (j), the elective or appointive office in the corporation held by the officer, or the employment or agency relationship undertaken by the employee or agent in behalf of the corporation.

(iii) "Official capacity" does not include service for any other foreign or domestic corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan.

(5) "Party" includes a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.

(6) "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.

(b)(1) A corporation may indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is established that:

(i) The act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding; and

1. Was committed in bad faith; or

2. Was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or

(ii) The director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or

(iii) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

II-1

(2)(i) Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

(ii) However, if the proceeding was one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation.

(3)(i) The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this subsection.

(ii) The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttal presumption that the director did not meet that standard of conduct.

(c) A director may not be indemnified under subsection (B) of this section in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director's official capacity, in which the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received.

(d) Unless limited by the charter:

(1) A director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to in subsection (B) of this section shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

(2) A court of appropriate jurisdiction upon application of a director and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following circumstances:

(i) If it determines a director is entitled to reimbursement under paragraph (1) of this subsection, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the director shall be entitled to recover the expenses of securing such reimbursement; or

(ii) If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director has met the standards of conduct set forth in subsection (b) of this section or has been adjudged liable under the circumstances described in subsection (c) of this section, the court may order such indemnification as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in subsection (c) shall be limited to expenses.

(3) A court of appropriate jurisdiction may be the same court in which the proceeding involving the director's liability took place.

(e)(1) Indemnification under subsection (b) of this section may not be made by the corporation unless authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (b) of this section.

(2) Such determination shall be made:

(i) By the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the board consisting solely of two or more directors not, at the time, parties to such proceeding and who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the full board in which the designated directors who are parties may participate;

(ii) By special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or a committee of the board by vote as set forth in subparagraph (I) of this paragraph, or, if the requisite quorum of the full

II-2

board cannot be obtained therefore and the committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of the full board in which directors who are parties may participate; or

(iii) By the stockholders.

(3) Authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. However, if the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the manner specified in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (2) of this subsection for selection of such counsel.

(4) Shares held by directors who are parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the subject matter under this subsection.

(f)(1) Reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the corporation of:

(i) A written affirmation by the director of the director's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation as authorized in this section has been met; and

(ii) A written undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

(2) The undertaking required by subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.

(3) Payments under this subsection shall be made as provided by the charter, bylaws or contract or as specified in subsection (e) of this section.

(g) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or authorized by this section may not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, by indemnification or otherwise, to which a director may be entitled under the charter, the bylaws, a resolution of stockholders of directors, an agreement or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

(h) This section does not limit the corporation's power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when the director has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

(i) For purposes of this section:

(1) The corporation shall be deemed to have requested a director to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance of the director's duties to the corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, the director to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan:

(2) Excise taxes assessed on a director with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed fined; and

(3) Action taken or omitted by the director with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of the director's duties for a purpose reasonably believed by the director to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

(j) Unless limited by the charter:

(1) An officer of the corporation shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this section for a director and shall be entitled, to the same extent as a director, to seek indemnification pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d);

II-3

(2) A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation to the same extent that it may indemnify directors under this section; and

(3) A corporation, in addition, may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent who is not a director to such further extent, consistent with law, as may be provided by its charter, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or contract.

(k)(1) A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person's position, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify against liability under the provisions of this section.

(2) A corporation may provide similar protection, including a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond, not inconsistent with this section.

(3) The insurance or similar protection may be provided by a subsidiary or an affiliate of the corporation.

(l) Any indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, a director in accordance with this section, if arising out of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, shall be reported in writing to the shareholders with the notice of the next shareholders' meeting or prior to the meeting.

Item 22. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:

(1) that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(2) that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (1) or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide public offering thereof.

II-5

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20 above or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will he governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the joint proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes the information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes

(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i): To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
(ii): To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent not more than a 20 percent change in the maximum offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii): To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered here, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
