REPUBLIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION (AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES)

Basis of Presentation - The consolidated  financial  statements include the
accounts of Republic Bancorp,  Inc. and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries;
Republic Mortgage Company, Republic Insurance Agency, Inc. and Republic Bank &
Trust Company (Bank), collectively "Republic".  All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information  and with the  instructions  to Form  10-Q and Rule 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the  three-month  and nine-month  periods
ending  September 30, 1996, are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996.  For further  information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
Republic's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Mortgage  Servicing Rights - On January 1, 1996,  Republic adopted  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights
(SFAS No. 122) which requires an enterprise with mortgage banking  activities to
recognize the right to service  mortgage  loans for others as a separate  asset,
however  those rights were  acquired.  Under  previous  accounting  guidance,  a
separate  asset was  recognized  for  purchased,  but not  originated,  mortgage
servicing  rights.  Under  SFAS  No.  122,  the  total  cost of  mortgage  loans
originated with the intent to sell is allocated  between the servicing right and
the loan without the servicing  right based on their relative fair values at the
date of origination.  The capitalized  cost of servicing rights are amortized in
proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated net servicing  income.  The
mortgage servicing asset is periodically evaluated for impairment by stratifying
by predominant risk characteristics.

Since adoption of this Statement,  loans sold in the secondary  market have been
primarily servicing released.  Accordingly,  adoption of SFAS No. 122 has had no
material impact on Republic's financial position or results of operations.


<PAGE>

Stock Based  Compensation - On January 1, 1996,  Republic  adopted  Statement of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
(SFAS  No.  123).  This  Statement  establishes  a fair  value  based  method of
accounting  for stock options and similar equity  instruments  such as warrants.
Companies  may either adopt the fair value method of  accounting  introduced  in
SFAS No. 123 or continue to apply the  intrinsic  value  method  required  under
current  accounting  methods.  Under  current  accounting  methods,  because the
exercise  price of Republic's  employee stock options equals the market price of
the  underlying  stock  on  the  date  of  grant,  no  compensation  expense  is
recognized.  Companies  which  elect  to  remain  with  the  current  method  of
accounting must make pro-forma  disclosures of net income and earnings per share
as if the fair value method  provided for in SFAS No. 123 had been adopted.  The
disclosure  requirements  are not applied in an interim report unless a full set
of financial statements are provided.

Current option pricing models,  such as the Black-Scholes  model, were developed
for use in  estimating  the fair value of traded  options  which have no vesting
restrictions and are fully  transferable.  In addition,  option valuation models
require the input of highly subjective  assumptions including the expected stock
price volatility. Because Republic's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective  input  assumptions can materially  affect the fair value  estimates,
management  believes the existing models do not  necessarily  provide a reliable
single  measure of the fair value of its employee  stock  options.  Accordingly,
management has elected to continue applying current accounting guidance.

Earnings  Per Share - Earnings per common and common  equivalent  share is based
upon the weighted  average of common and common  equivalent  shares  outstanding
during the year.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are approximately
the same.

2. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY AND STOCK DIVIDEND

At December 31, 1995,  common stock authorized  consisted of 2,000,000 shares of
no par stock, of which 1,203,578 shares were issued and outstanding.  On January
8, 1996 the  stockholders  approved  an  amendment  to  Republic's  Articles  of
Incorporation  to authorize  15,000,000  shares of Class A Common Stock,  no par
value and 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value.

On February 16, 1996,  the Board of Directors  declared a stock dividend of five
shares of Class A Common  Stock for each share of Class B Common  Stock owned by
stockholders  of record on February 20, 1996  payable on February 29, 1996.  The
stock  dividend has been treated as a stock split and all share and earnings per

7.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings consist of repurchase agreements and overnight liabilities
to deposit customers arising from a cash management program offered by Republic.
While  effectively  deposit  equivalents,  such  arrangements are in the form of
repurchase  agreements.  The  repurchase  agreements  are treated as financings;
accordingly,  the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets
and are held by a  safekeeping  agent  and the  obligations  to  repurchase  the
securities are reflected as liabilities.  Balances as of and for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996:

8.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

Republic's  operations  include two  reportable  segments:  banking and mortgage
banking. The banking segment is engaged in making loans, investing in securities
and collecting  deposits.  The mortgage banking segment  originates  residential
mortgage  loans for resale in the secondary  mortgage  market and services loans
for the Bank and others.

Intersegment  interest  income  and  expense  represent  interest  on loans  and
advances from the banking segment to the mortgage  banking  segment  computed at
New York prime, and advances from Republic to the Bank.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Republic,  headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, was incorporated on January 2,
1974.  The Bank is a  commercial  banking and trust  corporation  organized  and
chartered  under  the laws of the  Commonwealth  of  Kentucky.  The Bank is also
headquartered  in Louisville,  Kentucky and provides  banking  services  through
twenty banking centers  throughout  Kentucky.  The Bank's activities include the
acceptance of deposits for checking,  savings and time deposit accounts,  making
secured and unsecured  loans,  investing in securities and trust  services.  The
Bank's lending services include the making of real estate, commercial,  consumer
and credit card loans and its  operating  revenues  are derived  primarily  from
interest and fees on domestic real estate,  commercial and consumer  loans,  and
from  interest on  securities  of the United  States  Government  and  Agencies,
states, and municipalities.  Regulators for Republic include the Federal Deposit
Insurance  Corporation (FDIC),  Federal Reserve Bank and the Kentucky Department
of Financial Institutions. In assets, the Bank is the sixth largest FDIC-insured
commercial  bank in  Louisville,  Kentucky  and the ninth  largest  FDIC-insured
commercial bank in Kentucky.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
AND DECEMBER 31, 1995

Overview.  Republic's  total assets were $963.3  million at September  30, 1996,
compared to $891.3  million at December 31, 1995,  an increase of 8%. The growth
was primarily attributable to continued market loan demand.

Cash and cash  equivalents.  The cash and cash equivalents  decreased from $75.3
million at December 31, 1995 to $34.8  million at September  30, 1996.  Cash and
due from banks decreased $8.9 million,  while federal funds sold decreased $31.6
million.  These  decreases  resulted  from  funding  increased  loan  demand and
investment in Republic's securities portfolio.

Securities to be held to maturity.  Securities  increased from $114.7 million at
December 31, 1995,  to $159.0  million at  September  30, 1996.  The increase in
investment securities was attributable to management's decision to transfer cash
into higher yielding investment  securities.  The investment  portfolio consists
primarily  of U. S.  Treasury  and  U.S.  Government  Agencies  with a range  of
maturities,  none of which exceed ten years.  Republic  maintains a conservative
interest rate risk strategy in that 90% of the portfolio matures within 5 years.
Funds  provided by maturing  securities  throughout  the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 were primarily used to purchase  replacement  securities.  No
investment securities were sold prior to maturity through September 30, 1996.

<PAGE>

Loans.  Net loans  increased  $65.6  million to $733.8  million at September 30,
1996, compared to $668.2 million at December 31, 1995. The increase in net loans
was led by residential  lending which has increased 18% since December 31, 1995.
Residential  real estate loans  increased due to Republic's  market presence and
sustained  customer demand. In recent periods,  Republic has experienced  strong
overall loan growth  throughout  its markets.  If current  interest rates remain
stable or  decline,  Republic  anticipates  continued  residential  loan  growth
throughout the remainder of 1996.

Republic's unsecured consumer loan portfolio ("All Purpose", "Pre-Approved", and
"Bankcard")  decreased  marginally  from $88.3  million at December  31, 1995 to
$84.7  million at  September  30,  1996.  This  decrease  reflects  management's
intention to limit the growth of the unsecured  consumer  portfolio.  Republic's
"All Purpose" loans,  with total  outstandings of $24.4 million at September 30,
1996, are originated through Republic's retail operating units. This product has
an average loan amount of $8,000 and an average annual percentage rate of 17.32%
with a standard maximum maturity of 5 years.  "Pre-Approved"  loans,  with total
outstandings  of $36.3 million at September  30, 1996,  were  delivered  through
direct mail,  targeting customers both in and outside of Republic's  traditional
Kentucky  markets.  The  "Pre-Approved"  product  has an average  loan amount of
$7,800 and an average annual  percentage rate of 14.29% with a standard  maximum
maturity of 5 years.  Republic's  "Bankcard" program, with total outstandings of
$24.0 million at September 30, 1996, has an average loan amount of $2,518 and an
average annual percentage rate of 13.35%.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses increased
from $3.7 million at December  31, 1995 to $6.2  million at September  30, 1996.
The increase is primarily  attributable to charge-off experience and anticipated
losses in the unsecured consumer loan portfolio.  The additions to the allowance
have increased Republic's allowance for loans losses to total loan ratio to .84%
at September 30, 1996 up from .55% at December 31, 1995.

The provision for loan losses was $1.6 million in third quarter,  1996, compared
to $896,000 in third quarter 1995. Net charge-offs increased $1.0 million during
third quarter 1996 over third quarter 1995.  Republic's  unsecured consumer loan
portfolio accounted for 99% of total charge-offs in the third quarter of 1996.

Similarly,  the  provision  for loan losses was $7.3 million for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1996,  compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  Net  charge-offs  increased $3.4 million during nine months
ended  September  30,  1996  over the  comparable  period  in  1995.  Republic's
unsecured consumer loan portfolio accounted for 97% of total charge-offs through
September 30, 1996. The charge-offs in the unsecured  portfolio were principally
comprised of $2.1 million in the  "All-Purpose"  program and $1.5 million in the
"Pre-Approved"  program. As a result of increasing  charge-offs,  management has
continued  to limit the  growth of the  unsecured  consumer  loan  portfolio  by
tightening  the  underwriting   standards  for  the  "All-Purpose"  program  and
eliminating  any direct mail offers  during the period under the  "Pre-Approved"
loan program.  These actions are expected to improve the average  credit quality
of these loan programs and gradually  reduce the level of charge-offs.  Republic
also experienced  charge-offs in its "Bank card" program of $1.1 million for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  compared to $612,000 for the  comparable
period in 1995.  Management  anticipates  that the  charge-offs in the unsecured
consumer  loan  portfolio may continue at or near recent  levels,  and believes,
based on information  presently  available,  that it has adequately provided for
these  losses as of  September  30,  1996.  Future  adjustments,  which could be
material,  may  be  necessary  if  the  portfolio's   performance  differs  from
management's estimates.

Premises and Equipment, net. Premises and equipment increased from $12.0 million
at December  31, 1995 to $15.3  million at  September  30,  1996.  The  increase
resulted from the addition of four new banking centers and continued  technology
enhancements. The technology enhancements included expansion and updating of the
Bank's personal computer network, teller automation and telecommunication system
improvements.

<PAGE>

Deposits.  Total deposits  remained  constant at $739.7 million at September 30,
1996,  compared  to $734.4  million at  December  31,  1995.  Republic  plans to
emphasize its deposit gathering  initiatives while also implementing programs to
maximize  retention  of  maturing  rate-sensitive  deposits  through  aggressive
pricing strategies and new products.

Securities Sold Under  Agreements to Repurchase and Other Short Term Borrowings.
Short term borrowings increased from $21.7 million at December 31, 1995 to $75.5
million  at  September  30,  1996.  The change was  primarily  due to  increased
deposits  provided  by  public  sector  enterprises  and other  similar  funding
relationships.   Management   intends  to  develop   additional   public  sector
relationships  which will result in further  increases in short term borrowings,
if achieved. (See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview. For the three months ended September 30, 1996, Republic reported a net
loss of $355,000, or $(.06) per share compared to net income of $1.9 million, or
$.24 per share,  for the third  quarter of 1995.  Earnings for the third quarter
1996 produced an annualized  return on average  assets of (.14)% and a return on
average stockholders' equity of (2.37)%, compared to returns of .93% and 14.25%,
respectively,  for the  comparable  period in 1995.  For the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996, net income was $1.9 million compared to $6.1 million for the
same period in 1995.

During  the third  quarter of 1996,  Republic  was  subject  to a one-time  $2.3
million Savings  Association  Insurance Fund (SAIF)  assessment.  Excluding this
one-time  charge,  net income for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 and
1995  remained  constant at $1.9  million.  Earnings for the third  quarter 1996
would have produced an annualized  return on average assets of .49% and a return
on average  stockholders'  equity of 7.61%.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1996, excluding the one-time charge, net income would have been $3.4 million
compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 1995.

Net Interest  Income.  For third  quarter  1996,  net  interest  income was $9.4
million,  up 9% over the $8.6 million  attained  during third quarter 1995. This
increase  was  primarily  attributable  to  Republic's  continued  loan  growth,
particularly  residential  real estate  loans.  During the third  quarter  1996,
average  interest-earning  assets were $922 million, an increase of $119 million
over third quarter 1995. The yield on average  interest-earning assets decreased
from 9.30% during third  quarter of 1995 to 8.98% during third  quarter of 1996.
Total average  interest bearing  liabilities  increased from $717 million in the
third quarter of 1995 to $833 million in the third quarter of 1996.  The cost of
average  interest-bearing  liabilities decreased from 5.63% during third quarter
of 1995 to 5.42% in the third quarter of 1996, as higher cost deposits  matured.
Overall,  the net interest rate spread decreased from 3.67% during third quarter
of 1995 to 3.56% in the  comparable  quarter of 1996.  The  Bank's net  interest
margin  decreased  from 4.28% in third  quarter  1995 to 4.08% in third  quarter
1996. The decrease in the net interest  spread and margin is attributable to the
growth in the  mortgage  loan  portfolio  along with a  reduction  in the higher
yielding  consumer  portfolio.   Additionally,   the  net  interest  margin  was
negatively  impacted by the growth in  interest  earning  assets  over  interest
bearing  liabilities  for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1995.

<PAGE>

Net  interest  income for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1996 was $28.6
million,  up $3.9  million  from  $24.7  million  during the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995.  When comparing the respective  nine month periods,  average
earning  assets  grew by $109.8  million in 1996 and  average  interest  bearing
liabilities increased $106.2 million. The rise in net interest income in 1996 is
primarily due to the increase in the Bank's residential loan portfolio.

The Bank's  exposure to changes in interest  rates is managed by  maintaining  a
balance between  interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities which
are expected to mature or are sensitive to interest  rate changes.  At September
30, 1996, the Bank's  exposure to changes in interest rates reflected a one year
positive  gap of $12.5  million  compared  to a one year  positive  gap of $12.3
million at December 31, 1995.

Table 4 - Volume/Rate Variance Analysis(in thousands)

The following  table  presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes  in  the  volume  of   interest-earning   assets  and   interest-bearing
liabilities  have affected the Company's  interest  income and interest  expense
during the periods  indicated.  Information  is provided in each  category  with
respect to (i)  changes  attributable  to changes in volume  (changes  in volume
multiplied by prior rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes
in rate  multiplied  by prior  volume),  and (iii) the net  change.  The changes
attributable  to the  combined  impact  of volume  and rate have been  allocated
proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Non-Interest  Income.  Non-interest income was $1.5 million during third quarter
1996, down from $1.6 million during third quarter of 1995.  Non-interest  income
decreased  $163,000 to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared to the same period in 1995.  Service  charges on deposit  accounts rose
44% in third  quarter 1996 over third  quarter  1995,  and increased 29% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.  During 1996 management  restructured  its
service  charges  on  deposit  accounts  and  improved  collection   activities,
resulting in the increased fee income.  Other non-interest  income declined as a
result of reduced insurance  commissions as Republic limited new originations in
its consumer loan portfolio.  The decrease in other non-interest  income for the
nine month period ended 1996 resulted primarily from a one-time gain of $738,000
for the reversal of previously  expensed legal matters during the second quarter
of 1995 as well as lower insurance commission income.

Income from  mortgage  banking,  a component of  non-interest  income,  includes
proceeds  from the sale of loans in the secondary  market and servicing  income.
Gain on sale of loans  decreased  30% in third  quarter 1996 from third  quarter
1995. Republic's net gain on sale of loans decreased due to reduced margins. For
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  Republic's net gain on sale of loans
increased 33%. The overall increase in gain on sale of loans for the nine months
ended 1996 was  attributable  to increased sales volume.  Loan servicing  income
declined  slightly for the three months ended 1996 and 1995, while decreasing 7%
for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 from the  comparable  1995 period.
The decrease was  attributable  to a decline in the  servicing  portfolio due to
normal  payoff  activity  and the  sale of loans on the  secondary  market  with
servicing released.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Total  non-interest  expense  was $9.7  million in third
quarter  1996,  compared to $6.3 million for third  quarter 1995, an increase of
55%.  Non-interest  expense increased 29% from $18.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, compared to $23.5 million for the comparable period in
1996. The increase for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996
was primarily  attributable to the one-time SAIF assessment and costs associated
with Republic's  expansion  efforts.  Management  anticipates that  non-interest
expense will  continue to increase in the near term due to  continued  franchise
growth and expansion.  Exclusive of the one-time SAIF  assessment,  non-interest
expense  increased  $1.1 million in third  quarter 1996 and $3.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Salary and employee  benefit  expense  increased  15% for the third quarter 1996
over third quarter,  1995, and 20% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996
over  the  comparable  1995  period  due to staff  additions  and  annual  merit
increases.  Republic's staffing level rose to 414 full-time equivalent employees
(FTE's) at September 30, 1996,  compared to 350 FTE's at September 30, 1995. The
increase in staffing was prompted by the Bank's expansion activities during 1996
as well as additional  staffing in  operational  areas needed to support  strong
loan demand.



<PAGE>


Occupancy and equipment  expense increased 24% in third quarter 1996, over third
quarter 1995. This expense increased from $3.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $4.7 for the  comparable  period in 1996. The increase was
primarily  due  to   depreciation   expenses   associated  with  new  technology
enhancements for lending and customer support systems.  The increase is also due
to the opening of three  additional  banking centers during the third quarter of
1996.  Management  intends  to  continue  its  expansion  plans  by  adding  one
additional  banking  center during the remainder of 1996,  subject to regulatory
approval.  Management  anticipates that Republic's expansion plans and continued
technology  enhancements  will result in an increased  occupancy  and  equipment
expense level during the remainder of 1996 and into 1997.

Insurance  expense  increased  $2.3  million  from third  quarter  1995 to third
quarter 1996.  This increase is  principally a result of the federally  mandated
one-time  assessment  on the Bank's SAIF deposits in the amount of $2.3 million.
Approximately  45% of the  Bank's  deposits  are  insured  by  the  FDIC's  Bank
Insurance  Fund  (BIF).  The  remaining  55% are  insured by the FDIC's  Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) resulting from the Bank's merger with Republic
Savings Bank,  F.S.B..  The recent  legislation which mandated the one-time SAIF
assessment  provided for a future ongoing reduction in the FDIC's insurance rate
premiums on SAIF insured  deposits.  Management  anticipates  that Republic will
ultimately  recapture the charge  attributable  to the one-time SAIF  assessment
through a reduction of the FDIC's  insurance  rate  premiums  from their current
levels.

Other non-interest expense increased $137,000 during the third quarter 1996 over
third  quarter 1995,  and $311,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996
over the comparable period in 1995. The increase is attributable to higher state
taxes on deposits and professional fees.

Republic is required to reimburse the FDIC for tax benefits  received  resulting
from tax  deductions  for losses on loans and other  real  estate  owned  (OREO)
acquired through the acquisition of a failed institution.  Republic has remitted
to the FDIC the  amounts  it has  determined  to be due  under  the terms of the
agreement  with the FDIC.  Republic  is involved  in  discussions  with the FDIC
concerning  interpretations  of certain  provisions  of the agreement and may be
required to remit additional payments related to prior years. Management intends
to vigorously  contest any request by the FDIC for  additional  payments.  There
have been no new developments with respect to this matter during the period.

ASSET QUALITY

Loans, including impaired loans under SFAS 114 and excluding consumer loans, are
placed on  non-accrual  status  when they  become past due 90 days or more as to
principal or interest,  unless they are adequately secured and in the process of
collection.  When loans are placed on  non-accrual  status,  all unpaid  accrued
interest  is  reversed.  These  loans  remain on  non-accrual  status  until the
borrower  demonstrates  the  ability  to  remain  current  or the loan is deemed
uncollectible  and is charged off.  Consumer loans are not placed on non-accrual
status but are  reviewed  periodically  and charged off when they reach 120 days
past due and are deemed  uncollectible.  At  September  30,  1996,  Republic had
$598,000  in  consumer  loans 90 days or more past due  compared  to $361,000 at
December 31, 1995.



<PAGE>


Table 5 provides information related to non-performing  assets and loans 90 days
or  more  past-due.  Accruing  loans  contractually  past  due 90  days  or more
increased  from $1.5  million at December  31, 1995 to $2.4 million at September
30, 1996.  This rise is primarily  attributable  to loans secured by residential
real  estate.  Management  does not  consider  this  increase  to be material in
relation to the total  outstanding  balance of the  residential  loan portfolio.
While loans on  non-accrual  status and loans past due 90 days or more increased
by  $1.2  million  from  December  31,  1995  to  September   30,  1996,   total
non-performing assets increased moderately due to minimal OREO levels.

Republic  defines  impaired  loans  to  be  those  commercial  real  estate  and
commercial  loans  greater than  $499,999  that  management  has  classified  as
doubtful (collection of all amounts due is highly questionable or improbable) or
loss (all or a portion of the loan has been written off or a specific  allowance
for loss has been  provided).  Republic's  policy is to  charge  off all or that
portion  of its  investment  in an  impaired  loan  upon a  determination  it is
probable the full amount will not be collected.  Impaired  loans  decreased from
$3.6 million at December 31, 1995 to $1.5 million at September 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY

Republic has established  access to various  sources of funding  alternatives if
needed for liquidity.  Substantial resources can be realized from the investment
portfolio,  of which $43.6 million matures or is putable within one year.  These
maturing  securities can be utilized to provide liquidity as needed.  Republic's
banking  centers also provide  access to a retail deposit  market.  In addition,
Republic has  established  lines of credit with various  financial  institutions
which can provide additional funds for liquidity if needed.

Asset/liability management strategies are designed to ensure safety and
soundness, maintain liquidity and regulatory capital standards and achieve an 
acceptable net interest margin.  Management regularly monitors interest rate and
liquidity risk in relation to prospective market and business conditions and
implements appropriate funding and balance sheet strategies accordingly.

CAPITAL

The Bank  intends to  maintain  a capital  position  that  meets the  regulatory
definition, as defined by the FDIC, of a "well capitalized" institution. Table 6

Kentucky banking  regulations  limit the amount of dividends that may be paid to
Republic by the Bank without  prior  approval of the Bank's  regulatory  agency.
Under  these  regulations,  the  amount  of  dividends  that  may be paid in any
calendar year is limited to the Bank's current year's net income,  as defined in
the  regulations,  combined  with the retained net income of the  preceding  two
years, less any dividends declared during those periods.  At September 30, 1996,
the Bank had  $7.7  million  of  retained  earnings  available  for  payment  of
dividends.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1996 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS No. 125). SFAS No.
125  provides  new  guidance  for  determining  the  circumstances  under  which
transfers of financial assets are considered sales or financings and extends the
accounting guidance of SFAS No. 122 for accounting for mortgage servicing rights
to all servicing  rights and  liabilities.  Under this standard,  accounting for
transfers of financial  assets and  extinguishments  of  liabilities is based on
control.  After a  transfer  of  financial  assets,  an  entity  recognizes  the
financial and servicing  assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes
liabilities when extinguished.

<PAGE>
