INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustees and Participants of
Republic Bancorp Inc. Tax Deferred Savings Plan
Owosso, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of Republic Bancorp Inc. Tax Deferred Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes 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 financial statements present fairly in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of
(1) assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994 and (2)
reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994, are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
supplemental fund information is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis of the basic financial statements rather than to present
information regarding the net assets available for benefits and changes in
net assets available for benefits of the individual funds, and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental
schedules and supplemental fund information are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules and supplemental fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

REPUBLIC BANCORP INC.
TAX DEFERRED SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
1. PLAN MERGER
Effective January 1, 1993, Premier Bancorporation, Inc. (a subsidiary
of Republic Bancorp Inc.) merged its existing 401 (k) plan with the
Republic Bancorp Inc. Tax Deferred Savings Plan (the "Plan"). Total
Plan assets increased $633,350 as a result of the merger. Five funds
managed by the Equitable Life Insurance Society were merged with the
Plan. Participants were allowed to maintain balances in these funds as
of January 1, 1993; however, no further contributions can be made to
these funds.
2. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Plan provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a
more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan was
established November 1, 1988 under the provisions of Section 401 (k)
of the Internal Revenue Code and is a voluntary savings plan for
eligible employees of Republic Bancorp Inc. ("Republic"). It is
subject to the provisions of The Employment Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
All employees of Republic are eligible to participate in the Plan
after completing one year of continuous service. As of December 31,
1994 and 1993, there were 781 and 506 plan participants, respectively.
Participant contributions are limited to 15% of the participant's
compensation as defined in the Plan, or such maximum rates as may be
approved by the Internal Revenue Service. Republic contributes an
amount equal to 50% of each participant's elective deferrals for the
Plan year up to 7% of the participant's annual compensation.
Republic's contributions to the Plan are made to the Republic stock
fund. Republic's contributions are vested 25% after two years of
service and an additional 25% each year thereafter.
If a nonvested participant is terminated from the Plan, the
participant may be required to forfeit a portion of his account
related to employer contributions. Forfeitures are applied as a
reduction to required employer contributions.
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
contribution and an allocation of Republic's contribution and Plan
earnings. Allocations are based upon the participant's account
balances. Expenses of operating the Plan are paid by Republic.
-6-
<PAGE>
Although it has not expressed any interest to do so, the Company has
the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
Such termination of the Plan, if any, would not affect an employee's
interest in assets already in the Plan and any unvested balances would
become fully vested.
Four investment options are available to the participants of the
Republic Bancorp Inc. Plan: the Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund,
Intermediate Bond Fund, Equity Fund and Republic Bancorp Inc. Common
Stock Fund.
The Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund (GIC Fund) invests primarily
in Guaranteed Investment Contracts issued by high-quality insurance
companies. A Guaranteed Investment Contract is a negotiated contract
with a major insurance company which includes a guarantee by the
insurance company of principal and interest for a specific length of
time. The contracts in this Fund can have maturities that range up to
a maximum of eight years, with the average maturity being
approximately three and one-half years. The Fund may also invest in
various short-term investment vehicles for purposes of maintaining
liquidity, and in order to make the Fund responsive to changes in
interest rates.
The Intermediate Bond Fund (Bond Fund) invests in short-term bonds
with a current average maturity under four years.
The Equity Fund invests in the common stock of growth-oriented
companies.
The Republic Bancorp Inc. Common Stock Fund (Republic Stock Fund)
invests 100% in the common stock of Republic Bancorp Inc.
Additionally, five investment options were available to the
participants of the Premier Bancorporation, Inc. 401 (k) Plan prior to
merger with the Plan: the Equitable Aggressive Fund, Equitable
Balanced Fund, Equitable Common Stock Fund, Equitable Fixed Income
Fund and Equitable Money Market Fund.
The Equitable Aggressive Fund invests in securities of smaller sized
companies (with capitalizations generally between $90 million to $1.5
billion) perceived to have greater growth potential than large
companies.
The Equitable Balanced Fund invests in common stocks, other equity
type instruments, longer-term fixed income securities, publicly traded
debt securities and short-term money market instruments.
The Equitable Common Stock Fund invests in common stocks and other
equity securities issued by intermediate and large sized companies
with an investment objective of long- term capital growth and
increasing income.
The Equitable Fixed Income Fund invests primarily in Guaranteed
Investment Contracts issued by high quality insurance companies.
The Equitable Money Market Fund is invested in a money market account
at Republic Bank indexed to the 91 day Treasury Bill.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements reflect the accrual basis of
accounting. Investments are stated at market value which is generally
based on quoted prices as reported by the trustee. Loans to
participants are recorded at cost which approximates market value.
The loan fund is used for receipt of participant contributions prior
to their investment in designated funds and for accumulation of cash
transfers from other funds prior to distribution or lending to
participants.
In 1993, the Plan changed its method of accounting for benefits
payable to comply with the 1993 AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide
("Audits of Employee Benefit Plans"). The new guidance requires that
benefits payable to persons who have withdrawn from participation in a
defined contribution plan be disclosed in the footnotes to the
financial statements rather than be recorded as a liability of the
Plan. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, benefits of $606,106 and
$108,297, respectively, were due to participants who have withdrawn
from participation in the Plan.
4. INVESTMENTS
The following table represents the fair values of investments.
Investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's assets are

The Plan. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
