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, 1996. 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 majority of the loan balances placed on non-accrual represent larger 
loans (over $25,000.00) which are current on payments but which exhibit 
financial weaknesses or which have been delinquent in the past.  Restructured 
loans remain high due to the retention of below-market interest rates on 
livestock loans affected by low market prices in 1996.

SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS

     Deposit growth of $6,670,808 in the first half of 1997 was more than 
twice the level experienced in the year ago period.  Approximately 60% of 
this growth was deployed into loan growth.  The $14,175,269 decline in cash 
equivalents in the first half of 1997 was more than offset by the purchase of 
an $18,000,000 FEDERAL HOME LOAN DISCOUNT NOTE, with a remaining term, as of 
6-30-97, of 46 days.  (Please see Statement of Cash Flows, P-3 and Balance 
Sheet, P-1)

LIQUIDITY

     Total liquid assets, consisting of cash and due from banks, federal 
funds sold and readily marketable U.S. Treasury and Government Agency 
securities, stood at approximately 40% of liabilities on June 30, 1997, up 
slightly from the 39% level which prevailed at the end of 1996.  Liquidation 
of these assets is the primary means by which the bank can accommodate 
withdrawal and loan requests. (Please see Balance Sheet, P-1)


INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

     Bank earnings are expected to be unaffected by material changes in 
market interest rates, largely because of the sizeable holdings of short term 
assets that are repriceable without corresponding credit quality concerns.  
Foremost among these are federal funds sold, U.S. TREASURY securities and 
U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY securities.  (Please see Table 3, P-7 and Table 4, P-8)

(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 least 
quarterly.

CAPITALIZATION:

     The majority of the asset growth during the first half of 1997 was in 
lower risk, single family home loans and even lower risk investment 
securities.  This caused the risk-based capital ratios to improve slightly.  
(Please see Table 2, LOAN CONCENTRATIONS and Balance Sheet P-1)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Volume driven increases in interest income in the first half of 1997 
exceeded by threefold the volume driven increase in interest on deposits.  
(Please see STATEMENT OF INCOME, P-2)

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

     The provision for loan losses was higher in the first half of 1997, 
compared with the year ago period, due to the chargedown of one loan balance 
in the current period, the balance of which was then moved into other real 
estate.

     Increases in growth related fee income, gains on sale of foreclosed 
properties and recoveries through litigation offset growth related increases 
in operating expenses.
