                    REPUBLIC BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
             For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Republic Bancorp Inc.
("Republic" or the "Company") and subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information,
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the consolidated operating results of the Company and its
subsidiaries for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994 as well as the financial position at September 30, 1995 and cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial
statements for 1994 to conform with the 1995 presentation.


2.  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Republic Bancorp
Inc., and the accounts of three wholly owned subsidiaries: Republic Bank,
Republic Bancorp Mortgage Inc. and Republic Savings Bank (formerly Horizon
Savings Bank). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts
of Market Street Mortgage Corporation and CUB Funding Corporation, of which
the Company owns an 80% majority interest in both entities. Republic Bancorp
Mortgage Inc. operates Home Funding, Inc., which was acquired in October 1994,
and AmeriFirst Home Mortgage, which was acquired in February 1995, as
divisions. CUB Funding Corporation operates R.S.L. Mortgage, which was
acquired in August 1995, as a division. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


3.  ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1993. Under SFAS 115, all affected debt and
equity securities must be classified as held-to-maturity, trading or
available-for-sale. Classification is critical because it affects the carrying
amount of the security, as well as the timing of gain or loss recognition in
the income statement. The Company does not currently maintain a trading
account classification. The Company adopted SFAS 115 for the financial period
beginning January 1, 1994.

Management determines the appropriate classification for debt securities at
the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet
date. In accordance with SFAS 115, securities held-to-maturity include only
those securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold
until maturity. Such securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization
of premium and accretion of discount, computed in a manner which approximates
the effective interest method. In order to more effectively respond to
liquidity needs primarily related to funding mortgage loans held for sale, the
Company reclassified the entire held-to-maturity investment portfolio to
available-for-sale at June 30, 1995. At September 30, 1995 the Company had no
securities held to maturity.

In July 1995, subsequent to the reclassification of the held-to-maturity
investment portfolio to available-for-sale status at June 30, 1995, the
Company sold $143.4 million of U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. 



                                      5
<PAGE>
Government Agency obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations
resulting in a realized gain on sale of $677,000 net of tax. Proceeds from the
sale were used primarily to fund the increased levels of mortgage loans held
for sale.

The available-for-sale securities portfolio is stated at fair value, with the
market value adjustment, net of tax, reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity. The amortized cost of debt securities classified as
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations, over the estimated life of the security.
Interest and dividends are included in interest income from investments.
Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary are included in gains or losses on sales of securities.
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities:

</TABLE>

The gross realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities
totaled $1,492,000 and $356,000, respectively, for the quarter ended September
30, 1995, and $1,513,000 and $459,000, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.

The following table details the components of securities available-for-sale,
and the amortized cost and market value of the portfolio classified by
maturity at September 30, 1995. Expected maturities will differ from
contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the
right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

The company adopted SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan," and SFAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -
Income Recognition and Disclosures," on January 1, 1995. Accordingly, loans
are classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and
interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans
are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loans effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient,
at a loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. Impairment is recognized by adjusting the
allowance for estimated loan losses for the impaired loan with a corresponding
charge to provision for estimated loan losses. The adoption of SFAS 114 by the
Company did not result in any additional charge to the allowance for estimated
loan losses or provision for estimated loan losses. Additionally, adoption of
SFAS 118 did not result in any change to the recognition of income on impaired
loans.

SFAS 114 amends SFAS 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled
Debt Restructuring," to clarify that substantive repossession accounting is
applicable in circumstances where the debtor surrenders the collateral to the
creditor and the creditor receives physical possession of the collateral.
Therefore, a loan for which foreclosure is probable, as in the case of
in-substance foreclosed (ISF) assets, should continue to be accounted for as a
loan. The impact of this change did not result in any reclassifications of ISF
assets by the Company.

5.  MORTGAGE BANKING

In May, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights," amending SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage
Banking Activities." This statement eliminates the accounting distinction
between rights to service mortgage loans that are acquired through origination
activities and those acquired through purchase. The Company adopted this
Standard effective April 1, 1995. Subsequent to the adoption, the Company
capitalized $1.4 million of originated mortgage servicing rights, on $91.4
million of loans originated.

Item 2:    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MORTGAGE BANKING
During the third quarter and nine month period of 1995, the Company closed
$894 million and $1.9 billion, respectively, in single-family, owner occupied,
residential mortgage loans, compared to $556 million and $2.4 billion closed
during the third quarter of 1994 and nine months of 1994, respectively. The
overall decrease in mortgage loan closings for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 is primarily attributable to the
higher interest rate environment that existed in the first quarter of 1995,
when compared to the same period in 1994, which has significantly reduced the
number of refinanced mortgages from 1994 levels. For the quarter ended
September 30, 1995, the Company's increase in mortgage loan closings is due to
a lower interest rate environment when compared to the third quarter of 1994,
and the impact of the Company's acquisition of Home Funding, Inc. and R.S.L.
Mortgage.

The decrease in mortgage loan volume resulted in a decrease in mortgage
banking income of $6.2 million, from $58.5 million in the first nine months of
1994 to $52.3 million in 1995. During the third quarter of 1995, mortgage
banking income increased by $5.6 million over the same period of 1994. This
increase was primarily due to a higher level of originations, higher mortgage
loan servicing fees resulting from a larger mortgage loan servicing portfolio,
and increased gains from sale of servicing due to a higher level of
originations over the comparable period. A breakdown of income from mortgage
banking activities is summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

The Company generates origination fee income primarily through its retail
mortgage loan operation. The Company's retail mortgage loan closings were
$1.36 billion for the nine month period of 1995, compared to $1.42 billion for
1994, resulting in a decrease in origination fee income of $2.4 million from
the nine months of 1994. Retail mortgage loan closings for the third quarter
of 1995 were $592 million, compared to $403 million for the third quarter of
1994, resulting in a higher level of origination fee income for the quarter.

The majority of the Company's residential mortgage production during 1995 has
been long-term fixed rate mortgages. The Company typically sells all of its
long-term fixed rate and a significant portion of its variable rate mortgages
to the secondary market. During the third quarter and nine month period of
1995, the Company's gain on sale of mortgages totaled $3.0 million and $5.8
million, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $3.5 million,
respectively, for the same periods in 1994. The increase in the gain on sale
of mortgages was due to the higher levels of mortgage loan closings for the
third quarter of 1995 compared to the prior year, and a small improvement in
margins.

During the third quarters of 1995 and 1994, the Company sold both purchased
and originated mortgage servicing rights on loans with principal balances of
$713 million and $589 million, respectively, resulting in gains of $6.2
million and $5.0 million, respectively. During the first nine months of 1995
and 1994, the Company sold mortgage servicing rights on loans with principal
balances of $3.6 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, resulting in gains of
$20.4 million and $29.1 million, respectively.

commercial banking segment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income totaled $7.4 million and $22.7 million for the third
quarter and nine month period of 1995, respectively, compared to $9.1 million
and $25.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1994. The decrease in
net interest income was comprised of increases in interest income with larger
offsetting increases in interest expense for both periods. The increases in
both interest income and interest expense were due primarily to general
increases in interest rates earned on interest earning assets and the lagging
effect of interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities over the last
twelve months. The mix in interest bearing liabilities shifted to a higher
percentage of time deposits and warehouse lines of credit, both of which had
significant increases in average rates paid in 1995 compared to 1994. The net
interest margin for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995 decreased
to 2.25% and 2.39%, respectively, from 2.90% and 2.99%, for the same periods
in 1994.

During the third quarter of 1995 average earning balances increased $57.2
million, or 4.6%, to $1.312 billion, from $1.255 billion during the 1994 third
quarter. Also impacting interest income growth was an increase in the yield on
interest earning assets to 7.50% during the third quarter of 1995, from 6.89%
during the third quarter of 1994. The most significant contributor to the
increase in interest income on earning assets was a $180 million increase in
average mortgages held for sale with an improved yield of 9 basis points over
the prior period. The increase in loans held for sale and total loans was
funded by a decrease in investment securities as discussed previously in the
Notes to the Financial Statements.

Average earning balances increased by 12%, or $134.4 million, to $1.264
billion during the first nine months of 1995, from $1.129 billion during the
first nine months of 1994. In addition, the yield on average earning assets
increased to 7.45% from 6.71%, resulting in a net increase of $13.7 million in
interest income. Primary factors in the increase in yield on interest earning
assets were a 67 basis point increase in average rates earned on the
securities portfolio, and a $148 million increase in average balances of
portfolio loans with an improved yield of 43 basis points over the prior
period.

The cost of funding assets in the third quarter of 1995 increased to 5.94%,
from 4.59% in the third quarter of 1994, with the average balance of interest
bearing liabilities increasing by $68.3 million, or 6.3%, to $1.161 billion,
from $1.092 billion during the 1994 third quarter. Warehouse borrowings, used
to fund mortgage loans held for sale, and time deposits represented the
largest growth categories, increasing by $100.1 million and $115.3 million,
respectively, with the average rate increasing by 143 basis points and 142
basis points, respectively.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased by
$16.3 million over the same period in 1994. The increase was primarily the
result of the increase in the average balance of other short-term borrowings
and time deposits, which increased by $48.1 million and $106.4 million,
respectively. The average rate paid on short-term borrowings and time deposits
increased from 4.51% and 4.59% in 1994, respectively, to 6.19% and 5.82%,
respectively, in 1995.

was $22.2 million and $59.3 million, respectively, compared with $18.9 million
and $65.5 million for the same periods in 1994. Salaries and employee benefits
are the largest portion of non-interest expense, totaling $13.8 million and
$34.6 million for the three month and nine month periods of 1995,
respectively. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $13.8 million,
compared with $10.4 million for the third quarter of 1994. Salaries and
employee benefits decreased by $2.4 million for the nine month period of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994, primarily as a result of lower
commissions and incentives paid on decreased mortgage loan volume.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS
Total assets at September 30, 1995 were $1.53 billion, which represents an
increase of $170 million over $1.36 billion at December 31, 1994. The increase
in assets since December 31, 1994 was primarily in mortgage loans held for
sale, partially offset by declines in securities and portfolio mortgage loans.
The increase in mortgage loans held for sale was primarily a result of a
continuing increase in residential loan closings for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995. The corresponding decrease in securities was mainly a
result of selling a portion of longer-term lower interest earning securities
in order to fund shorter-term, higher interest earning mortgage loans held for
sale balances.

LOANS
Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, at September 30, 1995 decreased by
$32.1 million to $573.0 million, from $605.1 million at December 31, 1994.
Residential real estate loans decreased by $54.7 million to 70.3% of total
loans at September 30, 1995, from 75.7% at December 31, 1994, due in part to
the Company redeploying a portion of longer-term lower interest earning loans
into shorter-term, higher interest earning mortgage loans held for sale
balances. Commercial loans, including commercial loans secured by real estate,
increased to $108.6 million, or 19.0%, of total loans at September 30, 1995.
The increase was due to an emphasis by the Company on the origination of high
quality commercial credits. Mortgage loans held for sale increased to $492.4
million at September 30, 1995, from $152.1 million at December 31, 1994.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 1995, the Company closed
$4.4 million and $14.2 million, respectively, of Small Business Administration
(SBA) loans. The Company sold $9.2 million of SBA loans during the first nine
months of the year, resulting in gains of $803,000.

The Company attempts to minimize credit risk in its loan portfolio by focusing
primarily on residential real estate mortgages and real estate-secured
commercial lending. As of September 30, 1995, these loans comprised 84.9% of
the total loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale. The Company's general
policy is to originate conventional residential real estate mortgages with
loan to value ratios of 80% or less and real estate-secured commercial loans
with loan to value ratios of 70% or less. The substantial majority of the
Company's mortgage loans comply with the requirements for sale to or
conversion to mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA")
or Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA").

The majority of the Company's commercial loans are secured by real estate and
are made to small and medium-sized businesses. These loans or lines of credit
are generally made at rates based on the prevailing prime interest rates of
the subsidiary banks and are adjusted periodically. The focus of the Company
on real estate-secured lending with lower loan to value ratios is generally
reflected in the low net charge-off ratio percentages.

The Company has not emphasized installment loans and, excluding home equity

At September 30, 1995, the Company had commitments to fund residential real
estate loans of $317 million. These commitments are expected to result in
mortgage loan closings during the next 30 to 60 days. Offsetting the interest
rate risk associated with these commitments, as well as mortgage loans held
for sale of $492.4 million, the Company had firm commitments to sell forward
$652 million of residential real estate loans. These commitments to sell
forward, which are expected to settle in the fourth quarter of 1995, will not
produce any material gain or loss.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Loans held in portfolio are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on
non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, reasonable doubt exists
as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal. Real estate
acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned ("OREO") until such time
as it is sold. The following table provides information with respect to the
Company's past due loans and the components of non-performing assets at the

ALLOWANCE FOR ESTIMATED LOAN LOSSES
Management is responsible for maintaining an adequate allowance for estimated
loan losses. The appropriate level of the allowance for estimated loan losses
is determined by systematically reviewing the loan portfolio quality,
analyzing economic changes, consulting with regulatory agencies and reviewing
historical loan loss experience. Actual net losses are charged against this
allowance. If actual circumstances and losses differ substantially from
management's assumptions and estimates, such reserves for loan losses may not
be sufficient to absorb all future losses, and net earnings could be
significantly and adversely affected.

Management is of the opinion that the allowance for estimated loan losses is
adequate to meet potential losses in the loan portfolio. It must be
understood, however, that there are inherent risks and uncertainties related
to the operation of a financial institution. By necessity, the Company's
financial statements are dependent upon estimates, appraisals and evaluations
of loans. Therefore, the possibility exists that abrupt changes in such
estimates, appraisals and evaluations might be required because of changing
economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers.

As of September 30, 1995, the allowance for estimated loan losses was $5.1
million, or .88%, of total loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale,
compared with $5.5 million, or .92%, as of December 31, 1994. The allowance
for estimated loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 305% at
September 30, 1995, versus 159% at December 31, 1994.

An analysis of the allowance for estimated loan losses, the amount of loans
charged off, and the recoveries on loans previously charged off is summarized
in the following table:

SECURITIES
The securities portfolio serves as a source of earnings with relatively
minimal principal risk. As a result, the Company's portfolio is comprised
primarily of U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government agency obligations and
obligations collateralized by U.S. Government agencies, primarily in the form
of collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities. The
maturity structure of the portfolio is generally short-term, with an estimated
average maturity of less than three years, or at adjustable rates. The
securities portfolio, constituted 20.9% of the Company's assets at September
30, 1995, compared to 34.2% at December 31, 1994. The decrease in the
securities portfolio is primarily a result of selling available-for-sale
securities to provide liquidity to fund higher interest earning asset
balances, mainly in the form of mortgage loans held for sale.

In order to more effectively respond to liquidity needs primarily related to
funding mortgage loans held for sale, the Company reclassified the entire
held-to-maturity investment portfolio to available-for-sale at June 30, 1995.



                                      16
<PAGE>
Certain securities, with a carrying value of approximately $149.4 million and
$235.3 million at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, were
pledged to secure reverse repurchase agreements, FHLB advances, and other
deposits as required by law.

See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of
the securities portfolio.

LIABILITIES

DEPOSITS
Non-interest bearing deposits increased by $21.8 million, or 19.6%, from
$111.4 million at December 31, 1994 to $133.2 million at September 30, 1995,
primarily due to an increase in mortgage escrow balances of $6.0 million and
mortgage loan drafts outstanding used to fund mortgage loans held for sale of
$12.8 million. Interest bearing deposits increased by $63.3 million, or 8.9% ,
from $707.3 million at December 31, 1994, to $770.6 million at September 30,
1995, due primarily to an increase of $66.7 million in certificates of deposit
as well as the acquisition of $20.2 million in interest bearing deposits
through the acquisition of deposits of three Michigan based Standard Federal
Bank branches in February 1995. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in other interest bearing deposit accounts of $2.2 million.

On February 24, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of the Standard
Federal Bank branches in Owosso and Flushing, Michigan, as well as the deposit
accounts of the Flint branch of Standard Federal Bank. Through the
acquisition, the Company added $20.2 million of interest bearing and $300,000
of non-interest bearing deposits. The Owosso and Flushing branches were opened
as Republic Bank offices on February 27, 1995.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
As of September 30, 1995, the Company had $119.1 million of securities sold
under agreements to repurchase, at an average rate for the quarter of 6.34%.

secured by certain securities with a carrying value of $120.6 million. The
proceeds from the reverse repurchase agreements are used to fund mortgage
loans held for sale.

1, 1996. The Subordinated Notes qualify as Tier 2 Capital for the calculation
of Total Risk-Based Capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. Republic
also has $25 million of 7.17% senior debentures which mature April 2001, with
interest on the notes payable semiannually.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1995 was $125.1 million, compared
with $117.9 million at December 31, 1994. The increase of $7.2 million during
the first nine months of 1995 was due to earnings net of dividends and a
decrease in the unfavorable market valuation adjustment on securities
available-for-sale; partially offset by the repurchase of 429,166 Republic
Bancorp Inc. common shares under the stock repurchase program.

The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank
holding companies. At September 30, 1995, Republic's Tier 1 Capital and Total
risk-based capital ratios were 15.50% and 18.39%, respectively, versus 17.65%
and 21.14%, respectively at December 31, 1994. These ratios exceed minimum
guidelines prescribed by regulatory agencies. As of September 30, 1995, total
risk-based capital was $142.3 million, an excess of $80.4 million over the
minimum guidelines prescribed by regulatory agencies.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio
guidelines for bank holding companies. Republic's Tier 1 Capital leverage
ratio at September 30, 1995 was 8.34%, versus 8.47% at December 31, 1994.

The Company is committed to maintaining a strong capital position. As of
September 30, 1995, Republic Bank and Republic Savings Bank's Total capital to
risk-weighted assets ratio, and Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets ratio
were in excess of all minimum regulatory requirements. It is management's
opinion that the Company and its subsidiaries' capital structure is adequate
and the Company does not anticipate any difficulty in meeting these
requirements on an ongoing basis.

                          STATEMENT RE COMPUTATION OF
                              PER SHARE EARNINGS

Primary earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common equivalent
shares with a dilutive effect. Common equivalent shares are shares which may
be issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock
options and warrants were included in earnings per primary common share
computations for 1995 and 1994.

Fully diluted earnings per common share are determined on the assumption that
the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares
outstanding is further increased by the effect of the end of period market
price on stock options and stock warrants. Stock options and stock warrants
were included in earnings per fully diluted common share computations for 1995
and 1994.

The following table presents information necessary for the computation of
earnings per share, on both primary and fully diluted basis, for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.
