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 six-month  periods
ending June 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.

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. The number of common and common  equivalent shares utilized in the per
share  computations  was 7,596,443 and 7,566,252 for the three months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  and 7,591,107 and 7,478,394 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

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
share  amounts  have been  retroactively  restated  to give  effect to the stock
split.

The Class A shares are entitled to cash dividends  equal to 110% of the dividend
paid per share on the  Class B Common  Stock.  Class A shares  have one vote per
share  and  Class B shares  have  ten  votes  per  share.  Class B stock  may be
converted,  at the option of the holder,  to Class A stock on a  share-for-share
basis.  The Class A Common  Stock is not  convertible  into any  other  class of
Republic's capital stock.

3. RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain  amounts have been  reclassified  in the 1995  financial  statements  to
conform with the current period  classifications.  The reclassifications have no
effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

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 six months
ended June 30, 1996:
                             (dollars in thousands)

       Average outstanding balance             $55,303
       Average interest rate                     4.41%
       Maximum outstanding at month end        $85,980

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.

to $891.3  million at  December  31,  1995,  an  increase  of 5%. The growth was
primarily attributable to increased market loan demand.

Cash and cash  equivalents.  The cash and cash equivalents  decreased from $75.3
million at December  31, 1995 to $58.9  million at June 30,  1996.  Cash and due
from banks  decreased  $4.4  million,  while  federal  funds sold  decreased $12
million.  These decreases  resulted from increased loan demand and  management's
deployment of funds into the investment portfolio.

Securities to be held to maturity.  Securities  increased from $114.7 million at
December 31, 1995, to $134.4 million at June 30, 1996. 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 85% of the portfolio matures within 5 years.
Funds provided by maturing securities throughout the six month period ended June
30, 1996 were primarily used to purchase replacement  securities.  No investment
securities were sold prior to maturity through June 30, 1996.

Loans.  Net loans  increased  $38.3 million to $706.5  million at June 30, 1996,
compared to $668.2  million at December 31, 1995.  The increase in net loans was
led by  residential  lending which has  increased  10% since  December 31, 1995.
Residential real estate loans increased due to Republic's  marketing  activities
and sustained  customer  demand.  In recent  periods,  Republic has  experienced
strong overall loan growth  throughout its markets.  If current  economic trends
remain stable, Republic anticipates continued loan growth.

Republic's unsecured consumer loan portfolio ("All Purpose", "Pre-Approved", and
Bankcard) increased  marginally from $88.3 million at December 31, 1995 to $91.9
million  at  June  30,  1996.   Republic's  "All  Purpose"  loans,   with  total
outstandings  of  $27.2  million  at  June  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 17.73% with a standard  maximum
maturity of 5 years.  "Pre-Approved"  loans,  with total  outstandings  of $40.3
million at June 30, 1996, are 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 14.25% with a standard  maximum  maturity of 5 years.
Republic's  Bankcard program,  with total  outstandings of $24.4 million at June
30, 1996, has an average loan amount of $2,518 and an average annual  percentage
rate of 13.21%.

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 June 30,  1996.  The
increase is primarily attributable to the unsecured consumer loan portfolio. The
additions to the allowance have increased  Republic's allowance for loans losses
to total loan ratio to .87% at June 30, 1996 up from .55% at December 31, 1995.

The provision for loan losses was $3.7 million in second quarter, 1996, compared
to $1.5 million in second quarter 1995. Net  charge-offs  increased $1.1 million
during  second  quarter  1996 over second  quarter  1995.  Republic's  unsecured
consumer loan  portfolio  accounted for 88% of total  charge-offs  in the second
quarter of 1996.

Similarly,  the  provision  for loan losses was $5.6  million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996,  compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995.  Net  charge-offs  increased $2.4 million during six months ended June 30,
1996 over the  comparable  period in 1995.  Republic's  unsecured  consumer loan
portfolio  accounted for 91% of total charge-offs in the first half of 1996. The
charge-offs  in the  unsecured  portfolio  were  principally  comprised  of $1.3
million in the "All-Purpose" program and $819,000 in the "Pre-Approved" program.
As a result of increasing charge-offs,  management has limited the growth of the
unsecured  consumer loan portfolio by tightening the underwriting  standards for
the "All-Purpose"  program and reducing the number of direct mail offers for the
"Pre-Approved" loan program.  These actions are expected to increase the average
quality of these loan  programs and  gradually  reduce the rate of  charge-offs.
Republic also  experienced  charge-offs in its Bank card program of $670,000 for
the six months  ended June 30,  1996,  compared to $294,000  for the  comparable
period in 1995. Management  anticipates that the current level of charge-offs in
the unsecured consumer loan portfolio may continue at or near its current level,
but believes,  based on information presently available,  that it has adequately
provided for these losses as of June 30, 1996. Future  adjustments,  which could
be material,  may be necessary if actual  performance  differs from management's
estimates.  Table 1 below  depicts the  allowance  activity by loan type for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

Premises and Equipment, net. Premises and equipment increased from $12.1 million
at December 31, 1995 to $13.8  million at June 30, 1996.  The increase  resulted
from the  addition  of a new banking  center and  technology  enhancements.  The
technology  enhancements  included  expansion  of the Bank's  personal  computer
network, platform automation and telecommunication system improvements.

Deposits.  Total deposits increased to $746.9 million at June 30, 1996, compared
to $734.4  million at December 31, 1995.  This  increase was  primarily due to a
rise in core deposits  resulting from deposit gathering  activities  designed to
attract new funds.  Republic plans to continue its deposit gathering initiatives
while working 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 $50.2
million at June 30,  1996.  The  change was  primarily  due to  increased  funds
provided  by public  sector  enterprises  and other new  funding  relationships.
Management intends to develop additional public sector relationships to increase
short term borrowings in the near term.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview.  For the three months ended June 30, 1996,  Republic's  net income was
$326,000, or $.03 per share compared to $2.1 million, or $.26 per share, for the
second  quarter  of 1995.  Earnings  for the second  quarter  1996  produced  an
annualized   return  on  average   assets  of  .14%  and  a  return  on  average
stockholders'  equity  of  2.22%,  compared  to  returns  of  1.0%  and  15.05%,
respectively,  for the comparable  period in 1995. For the six months ended June
30,  1996,  net income was $2.2  million  compared to $4.1  million for the same
period in 1995. The decline in earnings was attributable to increased provisions
to the  Bank's  loan  loss  reserve  prompted  by a rise in  charge-offs  in the
unsecured consumer loan portfolio.

Net Interest  Income.  For second  quarter,  1996, net interest  income was $9.6
million, up 19% over the $8.1 million attained during second quarter, 1995. This
increase  was  primarily  attributable  to  Republic's  continued  loan  growth,
particularly residential real estate loans. During second quarter, 1996, average
interest-earning  assets were $863.3 million,  an increase of $80.8 million over
second quarter 1995. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased from
9.00%  during  second  quarter of 1995 to 9.19% during  second  quarter of 1996.
Total average interest bearing liabilities  increased from $696.4 million in the
second  quarter  of 1995 to $776.3 in the second  quarter  of 1996.  The cost of
average interest-bearing  liabilities decreased from 5.44% during second quarter
of 1995 to 5.27% in the second quarter of 1996, as higher cost deposits matured.
Overall, the net interest rate spread increased from 3.56% during second quarter
of 1995,  to 3.93% in the  comparable  quarter of 1996.  The Bank's net interest
margin increased from 4.16% in second quarter,  1995 to 4.46% in second quarter,
1996.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $18.9 million, up
$2.9 million from $16.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 1995.  When
comparing the  respective  six month  periods,  average  earning  assets grew by
$105.1 million in 1996 and average interest bearing liabilities  increased $97.4
million.  The  rise in net  interest  income  in 1996  is  primarily  due to the
increase of the Bank's 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 June 30,
1996, the Bank's  exposure to changes in interest rates reflected a negative one
year gap of  $819,000  compared to a positive  one year gap of $12.3  million at
December  31,  1995.  The  change  in the one year gap was  attributable  to the
placement of the federal funds into longer term  investments and the increase of
short term borrowings. Management does not deem the change to be significant.

balance, interest income/expense,  and rates by major balance sheet category for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

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 Republic'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.

to  increased  fees.  Net gain on sale of loans  increased  $157,000  in  second
quarter,  1996,  over second  quarter,  1995, and also increased 97% for the six
months  ended 1996 over 1995 due to increased  secondary  market  mortgage  loan
volume. The decrease in other non-interest income during second quarter 1996 and
the six month  period ended 1996  resulted  from a one time gain of $738,000 for
the reversal of a previously  expensed legal matter during the second quarter of
1995.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Total  non-interest  expense was $7.0  million in second
quarter 1996,  compared to $6.0 million for second  quarter 1995, an increase of
17%.  Non-interest  expense  increased 16% from $11.9 million for the six months
ended June 30,  1995,  compared to $13.8  million for the  comparable  period in
1996.  Non-interest  expense  levels  are often  measured  using a  non-interest
interest  expense ratio  (non-interest  expense divided by the sum of net income
and non-interest income).  Republic's  non-interest expense ratio increased from
56% for the second  quarter  1995, to 62% for second  quarter  1996.  Management
anticipates  that this ratio will  continue  to increase in the near term due to
growth and expansion.

Salary and employee benefits expense increased 13% for the second quarter,  1996
over second quarter, 1995, and 22% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 due to
staff additions and annual merit  increases.  Republic's  staffing level rose to
401 full-time  equivalent  employees  (FTE's) at June 30, 1996,  compared to 343
FTE's at June 30, 1995. The increase in staffing was primarily  attributable  to
future  staffing  needs  prompted  by the  Bank's  expansion  plans  during  the
remainder of 1996. Also,  staffing in operational areas was increased to support
sustained strong loan demand.

Occupancy and equipment  expense  increased 20% in second  quarter,  1996,  over
second quarter 1995. This expense increased from $2.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 to $3.0 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 an  additional  banking  center  location  which was opened  during the first
quarter of 1996.  Management intends to continue its expansion plans by adding 4
additional  banking  centers  during  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.

Insurance expense decreased $25,000 from second quarter, 1995, to second quarter
1996.  The  decrease  resulted  from a  lowering  of federal  deposit  insurance
premiums on deposits insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). Approximately 45%
of Republic's  deposits are insured by BIF. The remaining 55% are insured by the
Savings Association  Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the FDIC resulting from the merger
of Republic  Savings Bank,  F.S.B.  with the Bank in 1994. The SAIF deposits are
currently assessed at 23 cents per $100 of deposits.  However, Congress has been
considering  a special,  one-time  assessment  on SAIF deposits and a subsequent
merger of the SAIF and BIF funds. If enacted, this legislation could result in a
material  one-time pre-tax charge.  The amount of such charge, if any, cannot be
determined  at this time.  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 amounts it has determined to be due under the
terms of the  agreement.  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.  While
Republic does not believe the outcome will have a material  impact on its future
results of operations,  the ultimate resolution of this matter is unknown. There
have been no new developments with respect to this matter during the period.

Other non-interest  expense increased  $225,000 during the second quarter,  1996
over second  quarter,  1995, and 10% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 over
the  comparable  period in 1995.  The  increase  is  attributable  to legal fees
associated  with  collection  efforts on charged off consumer  loans,  increased
state taxes on deposits and professional fees.

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 deemed uncollectible.
At June 30, 1996,  Republic had $383,000 in consumer  loans 90 days or more past
due compared to $361,000 at December 31, 1995.

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 $3.8  million at June 30,
1996.  This rise is  attributable  to loans secured by  commercial  real estate.
Management  anticipates  that  commercial real estate loans 90 days or more past
due will return to prior  levels in the near term.  While loans past due 90 days
or more increased,  total non-performing  assets increased moderately due to the
successful disposition of OREO.

</TABLE>

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 $1.6 million at June 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY

Asset/liability   management  strategies  are  designed  to  ensure  safety  and
soundness,  maintain  liquidity and regulatory  capital standards and achieve an
optimal net interest  margin.  Management  monitors  interest rate and liquidity
risk in relation to  prospective  market and business  conditions and implements
appropriate funding and balance sheet strategies.  These strategies are designed
to maintain liquidity within the Bank's policy guidelines.

In order to maintain an acceptable liquidity position,  Republic has established
access to additional sources of funding.  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 additional
liquidity as needed.  Republic's  operating  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.

CAPITAL

During the second quarter of 1996 Republic  purchased 3,286 shares of the Bank's
common stock for $4.0  million.  This  infusion of capital  increased the Bank's
Tier 1 leverage  ratio from 6.7% at December  31, 1995 to 6.8% at June 30, 1996.
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
below indicates the Bank's capital at June 30, 1996.

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 June 30, 1996, the
Bank had $8.7 million of retained earnings available for payment of dividends.
