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

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

        Non-accrual loans remain at a level comparable to the year-end, 1999
figure and continue to reflect chronically past-due credits that are presently
or recently fell 30 days past due. Those accounts that fail to affect a cure are
typically placed in collection.

           The restructured loan total consists of one commercial real estate
loan that is being charged a below-market rate of interest due to financial
difficulties.

SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS

        Growth in loans and investments outstripped deposit growth during the
first 9 months of 2000. Total growth in loans and investments in the current
period came to $15,747m, compared with $11,595m in deposit growth. This
contrasts with $14,278m in loan and investment growth and $21,713m in deposit
growth in the prior-year period. Not surprisingly, cash and cash equivalents
fell $3,786m in the current period, compared with $6,973m in growth in the same
category in the prior-year period. (Please see Statement of Cash Flows, P-3)

LIQUIDITY

        Period-end holdings of cash and due from banks, readily marketable
securities and federal funds sold came to approximately 34% of period-end
liabilities. This contrasts with the 38% which prevailed at year-end, 1999.
(Please see Balance Sheet, P-1)

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

        The bank continues to adhere to a practice of extending maturities in
anticipation of a cessation and perhaps a reversal of the current phase of
monetary tightening. Beginning at approximately 18 months, the bank is still
adequately protected from the ill effects of any further increase in market
interest rates. (Please see Repricing Schedule, 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:

        Since retained earnings growth in the current period is more in line
with asset growth, the decline in leverage capital has slowed markedly. The more
steep decline in both of the risk-based capital ratios is primarily a result of
loan growth which caused a shift from low-risk, money market equivalents into
higher risk loan categories.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

        Annualized net interest income, taken as a percentage of period-end
interest- bearing assets, came to 3.92% for the third quarter of 2000. This is a
continuation of the uptrend experienced thus far in 2000. The figures for the
first and second quarters were 3.40% and 3.73%, respectively. (Please see
Balance Sheet, P-1 and Statement of Income, P-2)

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

        The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2000 was
comparable to the year-ago period, however, the year-to-date provision continues
to show the effect of a first quarter, 2000 charge-off of $111m.

        Increases in fee income, tied to both volume and rate effects, caused
significant gains in this category over the prior year figure. Other income for
the current periods includes a non-recurring recovery of $80m, representing
final payment for municipal securities charged off over two decades ago.

        Growth factors aside, the predominant year-to-date aberrations in the
non-interest expense categories include occupancy expense, showing the effect of
$100m plus spent on stone repairs to the main bank building, computer expense,
showing the effect of $43m in internet banking start-up expense, and
advertising, showing the effect of the costs associated with the bank's 125th
anniversary celebration. (Please see Statement of Income, P-2)
