Note 1 -- BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

    The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
The Republic Corporation, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include all adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation.  The condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its
subsidiaries.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  The Republic Corporation believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading; however, it is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto which are on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995.  The financial data for the interim periods may
not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for the year.

    Securities that will be held for indefinite periods of time, including
securities that will be used as part of the Company's asset/liability management
strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates,
prepayments, and similar factors, are classified as Available-for-Sale and
accounted for at fair value.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL CONDITION


ASSET QUALITY

    The increase in loans placed on non-accrual is largely a result of
non-performance by borrowers on loans secured by single-family mortgages.  Of
the increase experienced since December 31, 1995, 79% falls in this category.
Approximately 74% of the latter consists of a concentration of loans made to two
borrowers, all of which are presently in foreclosure.

     In recognition of the significantly lower livestock prices compared with
the year-ago period, the bank has lowered interest rates on approximately $1.2mm
in loans to at-risk livestock borrowers.  This accounts for most of the increase
in restructured loan totals since December 31, 1995.

SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS

    Approximately $7.9mm in loan growth in the first nine months of 1996 was
largely funded by approximately $4.2mm in deposit growth and an approximate
decline of $2.7mm in cash and cash equivalents.  (Please see Statement of
Cash Flows, P-3)

LIQUIDITY

    Loan growth outstripped deposit growth by $3.7mm in the first nine months
of 1996.  The resulting conversion of cash and cash equivalents into
significantly less liquid loan totals has further reduced liquidity.  The
level of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and U.S. Treasury Notes
stood at approximately 39% of total liabilities at the end of the third
quarter of 1996, compared with 43% at year-end 1995.  (Please see Balance
Sheet, P-1)

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

    The dollar impact on earnings precipitated by a change in market interest
rates is not anticipated to be material so long as the rate shift does not
significantly exceed 100 basis points.  To the extent that rates increase
beyond this range, the bank will, of necessity, consider moderate upward
adjustments to commercial loan offering and renewal rates.  (Please see
Table 3, P-7)

(1) Securities which the Bank has the ability and intent to hold to maturity.
These securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts, computed by the interest method.  Because securities are
purchased for investment purposes and quoted market values fluctuate during the
investment period, gains and losses are recognized upon disposition or at such
time as management determines that a permanent impairment of value has occurred.
Cost of securities sold is determined on the specific identification method.

(2) Securities that the bank may sell in response to changes in market
conditions or in the balance sheet objectives of the bank.  Securities in this
category will be reported at fair market value.  Unrealized gains or losses (net
of tax) will be reported as a separate item in the shareholder's equity section
of the balance sheet.  Adjustments will be recorded at lease quarterly.

CAPITALIZATION:

    The continued increase in Tier 1 leverage is a result of retained earnings
growth exceeding asset growth.  The slight decline in the risk-based capital
ratios is a result of the aforementioned migration of low-risk, cash equivalent
assets into higher risk loan balances.  (Please see Table 5, P-9 and Balance
Sheet, P-1)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net interest income continues to improve in the three and nine month
periods due to loan growth and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in aggregate
funding costs.  (Please see Statement of Income, P-2)

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

    Provision for loan loss expense was a significant factor in the three and
nine month periods of 1996.  This is a by-product of increases in problem loans
and of loan growth over these time frames and the resulting necessity for higher
reserve levels.

           Savings from the elimination of FDIC insurance premiums have been
more than offset by increases in all expense categories, with the exception of
advertising expense.  Increases in employee compensation, tied to increased
staffing levels, looms as the largest increase in the three and nine month
periods of 1996.  (Please see Statement of Income, P-2)
