AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 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 ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, as well as the financial position at September 30, 1994 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993. Certain reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial statements for 1993 to conform with the 1994 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. 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 issued Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. Republic Bancorp Inc. adopted Statement No. 115 for the financial period beginning January 1, 1994. In accordance with Statement No. 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. Securities held to maturity consist primarily of U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government Agency obligations, and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. 5 In accordance with Statement No. 115, Securities Available for Sale include only those securities available to be sold prior to final maturity. The Company classifies securities available for sale based on management of its asset and liability position and liquidity needs. Using the specific identification method such securities are carried at market value, with a corresponding market value adjustment carried, net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The adjusted cost of each security sold is used to compute realized gains or losses on the sales of these securities. Securities available for sale consist primarily of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities. The following is a summary of available for sale securities and held to maturity securities: Available for Sale Securities ------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Estimated September 30, 1994 Unrealized Unrealized Fair (in thousands) Cost Gains Losses Value -------- ---------- ---------- --------- U.S. Treasury Obligations . - - - - U.S. Government Agency Obligations . . . . . . . $ 4,012 $ 23 $ 217 $ 3,818 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations . . . . . . . 4,998 - 138 4,860 Mortgage-Backed Securities. 232,072 82 5,034 227,120 Other Securities. . . . . . 19,229 - 501 18,728 -------- ------ ------ -------- $260,311 $ 105 $5,890 $254,526 ======== ====== ====== ======== Held to Maturity Securities ------------------------------------------ Gross Gross Estimated September 30, 1994 Unrealized Unrealized Fair (in thousands) Cost Gains Losses Value -------- ---------- ---------- --------- U.S. Treasury Obligations . $ 81,385 $ - $1,696 $ 79,689 U.S. Government Agency Obligations . . . . . . . 72,285 - 1,483 70,802 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations . . . . . . . 104,178 4 5,350 98,832 Mortgage-Backed Securities. 12,989 34 629 12,394 Other Securities. . . . . . 1,740 14 41 1,713 -------- ---- ------ -------- $272,577 $ 52 $9,199 $263,430 ======== ==== ====== ======== The gross realized gains and losses on sales of available for sale securities totaled $67,000 and $18,000, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 1994, and $586,000 and $18,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. 6 The following tables detail the components of the securities held to maturity and securities available for sale portfolio and the amortized cost and market value of the portfolio classified by maturity at September 30, 1994. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

The decrease in mortgage loan closings was primarily attributable to the higher interest rate environment which has significantly reduced the number of refinanced mortgages. The decrease in mortgage loan volume resulted in a decrease of mortgage banking income of $8.6 million, from $22.3 million in the third quarter of 1993 to $13.7 million in 1994. Mortgage banking income decreased $1.7 million from $60.2 million during the first nine months of 1993 to $58.5 million for the first nine months of 1994. A breakdown of income from mortgage banking activities is summarized as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ------------------ 1994 1993 1994 1993 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net mortgage loan servicing fees . . . . . . $ 1,779 $ 1,203 $ 4,769 $ 3,649 Origination fee income . . 5,576 9,583 21,124 23,198 Gain on sale of mortgages . 1,342 8,058 3,506 23,574 Gain on sale of servicing . 5,007 3,406 29,128 9,767 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total mortgage banking income . . . . . $13,704 $22,250 $58,527 $60,188 ======= ======= ======= ======= The Company generates origination fee income primarily through its retail mortgage loan operation. The Company's retail mortgage loan closings were $1.42 billion for the first three quarters of 1994 compared to $1.54 billion for 1993. The decrease in retail mortgage closings resulted in a decrease in origination fee income of $2.1 million over the first three quarters of 1993. Retail mortgage loan closings for the third quarter of 1994 were $403 million, compared to $616 million for the third quarter of 1993, resulting in a corresponding decrease in origination fee income of $4.0 million. The majority of the Company's residential mortgage production during 1994 and 1993 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 first nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company's gain on sale of mortgages totaled $1.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, compared to $8.1 million and $23.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1993. The decrease in the gain on sale of mortgages was due to the decline in margins caused from rising interest rates. 8 During the third quarters of 1994 and 1993, the Company sold both purchased and originated mortgage servicing rights on loans with principal balances of $589 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, resulting in gains of $5.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, the Company sold mortgage servicing rights on loans with principal balances of $4.0 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, resulting in gains of $29.1 million and $9.8 million, respectively. On October 31, 1994, Republic Bancorp Mortgage Inc., a subsidiary of Republic, purchased the assets and mortgage origination network of Home Funding, Inc. with seven offices in the states of New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The offices are expected to close approximately $200 million in residential mortgage loans in 1994. The remainder of the Management's Discussion and Analysis provides various disclosures and analyses relating principally to the commercial banking segment. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - - --------------------- NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income totaled $9.1 million and $25.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1994, respectively, compared to $9.0 million and $26.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1993. The slight increase in net interest income in the third quarter was comprised of increases in both interest income and interest expense. The increase in both interest income and interest expense was due to an increase of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities over the last twelve months. The net interest margin for the third quarter and first nine months of 1994 decreased to 2.90% and 2.99%, respectively, from 3.20% and 3.24%, for the same periods in 1993. The decrease in net interest margin for both periods is a result of a decrease of mortgage loans held for sale and subsequent redeployment of assets into lower yielding investment securities. Although the yield earned on securities and commercial loans increased 153 and 103 basis points, respectively during third quarter 1994 versus third quarter 1993, yield on average earning assets remained flat at 6.89% versus 6.90% during the same period experienced during 1994, the average balance of mortgage loan originations to be sold in the secondary market has decreased from $430 million in third quarter 1993 to $175 million in third quarter 1994. While this reduction was reinvested in the securities portfolio, which average balance increased $337 million over third quarter 1993, the average rate earned on the securities portfolio in third quarter 1994 is 198 basis points less than the mortgage loans held for sale portfolio. 9 The yield on average earning assets for the nine month period ending September 30, 1994 decreased to 6.71% from 7.16% for the same period in 1993. Primary factors in the decline in yield on interest earning assets were a 26 basis points decline in average rates earned on mortgage loans held for sale, and a 102 basis point decline in average rates earned on real estate mortgage loans. These loans will reprice annually based primarily on the one year constant maturity treasury index. The cost of funding assets in third quarter 1994 increased slightly to 4.59% from 4.50% in third quarter 1993. As a result of the slowdown in mortgage loans held for sale originations, average borrowings of the Republic mortgage affiliates under the higher cost prime based warehousing facilities decreased $72 million over third quarter 1993 while the borrowing rate has increased from 5.73% to 6.18%. Offsetting the reduction in these borrowings was an increase of $235 million in other short-term borrowings of the bank affiliates. Average balances and rates on these borrowings were $277 million and 4.79% in 1994 and $42 million and 3.91% in 1993. Interest expense for the nine months ending September 30, 1994 decreased $.8 million from the same period in 1993. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease in the average balance of time deposits which decreased $128 million and the decrease in the average rate paid on time deposits from 5.02% for the first nine months of 1993 to 4.59% for the first nine months of 1994. The following table presents an analysis of average balances and rates for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993. 10 Three Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, 1994 September 30, 1993 -------------------------------- ----------------------------- Average Avg.

Salaries and employee benefits are the largest portion of non-interest expense totaling $10.4 million and $37.1 million for the three month and nine month periods 1994, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $4.1 million from $14.5 million in the third quarter of 1993, based in part as a result of lower commissions and incentives paid on decreased mortgage loan volume for the third quarter of 1994. FINANCIAL CONDITION - - ------------------- ASSETS Total assets at September 30, 1994 were $1.37 billion, which represents an increase of $200 million over the $1.17 billion at December 31, 1993. The increase in assets since December 31, 1993 was primarily in securities and portfolio loans, offset by a decline in mortgage loans held for sale. The decrease in mortgage loans held for sale was primarily a result of rising interest rates and a decrease in residential loan closings versus 1993. The corresponding increase in securities was a result of investing funds made available due to the decrease in mortgage loans held for sale and increased short-term borrowings through federal funds and reverse repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. LOANS Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, at September 30, 1994 increased $112.0 million to $519.1 million from $407.1 million at December 31, 1993. Residential real estate loans increased $127.8 million to 68.8% of total loans at September 30, 1994 from 56.3% at December 31, 1993, due primarily to the Company increasing its portfolio of variable rate residential real estate loans. Commercial loans, including commercial loans secured by real estate, decreased to $109.9 million or 21.2% of total loans at September 30, 1994. The decline was due to a sale of $4.1 million of commercial loans by Republic Savings Bank to another financial institution, SBA loan sales and loan payoffs. Mortgage loans held for sale decreased to $184.7 million at September 30, 1994 from $508 million at December 31, 1993. During the third quarter and first nine months of 1994, the Company closed $3.0 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. The Company sold $7.9 million of SBA loans during the first nine months of the year, resulting in gains of $593,000. 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, 1994, these loans comprised 85.4% 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 14 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") or Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"). 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 loans, does not intend to emphasize these loans in the future. The following table summarizes the composition of the Company's loan portfolio: September 30, December 31, 1994 1993 ---------------- ---------------- Amount % Amount % (Dollars in thousands) -------- ------ -------- ------ Commercial Loans: Secured by real estate. . . . $ 86,126 16.6% $ 94,428 23.2% Other (generally secured) . . 23,822 4.6 32,114 7.9 -------- ------ -------- ------ Total commercial loans. . . 109,948 21.2% 126,542 31.1 Residential real estate mortgages. . . . . . . . . . . 357,036 68.8 229,203 56.3 Installment loans. . . . . . . . 52,129 10.0 51,372 12.6 -------- ------ -------- ------ Total portfolio loans . . . $519,113 100.0% $407,117 100.0% ======== ====== ======== ====== At September 30, 1994, the Company had commitments to fund residential real estate loans of $199.6 million. These commitments are expected to result in mortgage loan closings during the next 90 days. Offsetting the interest rate risk associated with these commitments, as well as mortgage loans held for sale of $184.7 million, Republic had, at September 30, 1994, firm commitments to sell forward $261.1 million of recently closed or committed residential real estate loans. These commitments to sell forward, which are expected to settle in the fourth quarter of 1994, will not produce any material gain or loss. 15 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 dates indicated.

(2) Including mortgage loans held for sale. At September 30, 1994, approximately $2.2 million, or .42% of portfolio loans were 30-89 days delinquent. 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. 16 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, 1994, the allowance for estimated loan losses was $5.9 million or 1.13% of total loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, compared with $7.2 million or 1.77% as of December 31, 1993. The allowance for estimated loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 140.2% at September 30, 1994 versus 148.3% at December 31, 1993. 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. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 1993 -------- -------- Allowance for estimated loan losses: Balance at January 1 $ 7,214 $7,684 Loans charged off (1,267) (386) Recoveries of loans previously charged off 170 203 ------- ------ Net charge-offs (1,097) (183) Provision charged to expense 84 511 Reduction due to sale of commercial loans (350) (590) ------- ------ Balance at September 30 $ 5,851 $7,422 ======= ====== SECURITIES 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 estimated average maturities of less than five years, or at adjustable rates. The securities portfolio, including securities available for sale, constituted 38.5% of the Company's assets at September 30, 1994, compared to 13.5% at December 31, 1993. The increase in the securities portfolio is due to the redeployment of funds received from the reduction of mortgage loans held for sale combined with increased levels of funds borrowed through reverse repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings. 17 Certain securities, with a carrying value of approximately $164.4 million and $25.5 million at September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively, were pledged to secure reverse repurchase agreements 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 decreased $36.8 million, or 24.0%, from $153.5 million at December 31, 1993 to $116.7 million at September 30, 1994, primarily due to a decrease in official checks outstanding used to fund mortgage loans held for sale. Interest bearing deposits increased $89.8 million, or 13.2%, from $680.3 million at December 31, 1993 to $770.1 million at September 30, 1994, due primarily to an increase of $44.5 million in jumbo certificates of deposit. On October 12, 1994 the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell three branches of its subsidiary Republic Bank to CB North. The three branches had total deposits of $52 million at September 30, 1994. The sale of these offices creates an opportunity for the Bank to expand its deposit gathering network in other areas of Michigan. The transaction is pending regulatory approval and is expected to be completed by December 31, 1994. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS As of September 30, 1994, the Company had federal fund borrowings of $25.0 million that matured on October 3, 1994. The average interest rate paid on federal fund borrowings for the third quarter of 1994 was 4.68%. The Company also had $159.0 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase at an average rate for the quarter of 4.71%. Such agreements, which mature in the fourth quarter of 1994, are secured by certain securities with a carrying value of $160.9 million. The proceeds from the reverse repurchase agreements were used to fund mortgage loan closings and securities purchases. Market Street Mortgage Corporation has a $75 million warehousing line of credit agreement with G.E. Capital Mortgage Services, Inc. used for the purpose of funding the origination of mortgage loans by Market Street, which expires in July 1995. Interest, which is payable monthly, is calculated at 1.75% plus the monthly commercial paper rate. Due to the decreased mortgage loan origination volume, borrowings under this warehousing line of credit decreased to $16.3 million at September 30, 1994 from $85.5 million at December 31, 1993. During the first nine months of 1994, the average borrowings and interest rate paid on this warehousing line were $39.7 million and 6.28%, respectively. 18 Republic Bancorp Mortgage Inc. has a $20 million warehousing line of credit with NBD Bank, N.A., used to fund the acquisition or origination of mortgage loans by Republic Mortgage. The line of credit, which is payable on demand, is secured by various real estate mortgage loans and expires in April 1995. Republic Mortgage is required to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount on each borrowing at either the prime rate or federal funds rate plus 1.75%. No borrowings under this line were required at September 30, 1994. At December 31, 1993, borrowings on this line were $14.9 million. During the first nine months of 1994, the average borrowings and interest rate paid on this line were $11.4 million and 5.87%, respectively. The Company has an $18 million revolving Credit Agreement with Firstar Bank Milwaukee, N.A. with proceeds to be utilized for working capital purposes. At September 30, 1994 no amounts were outstanding under this Credit Agreement. FHLB ADVANCES Republic Savings Bank has outstanding two advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), a $10 million advance with an interest rate of 7.15%, maturing in February 1997, and a $5 million advance with an interest rate of 4.45%, maturing in December 1995. These advances are secured by first mortgage loans equal to at least 150% of the advances under a blanket security agreement, with interest payable monthly for both advances. In order to provide liquidity needs for mortgage loan originations, Republic Savings also has a $65 million line of credit with the FHLB. As of September 30, 1994, borrowing under this line totaled $36.5 million with an average interest rate paid of 5.05%. LONG-TERM DEBT Republic Bancorp Mortgage has a mortgage loan in the amount of $2.0 million with Firstar Bank Milwaukee, N.A. Principal and interest with a fixed rate of 6.99% is payable quarterly, with a final maturity date of October 1, 2000.
