CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In January 1998, Republic completed a 2.5 - for - 1 stock split. All historical
data in this report has been restated to reflect the split.

A. GENERAL

The accounting and reporting policies of Republic Banking Corporation of Florida
and its subsidiary conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to
predominant practices within the banking industry. The company has not changed
its accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed in its 1997 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three-month period and six-month period ended
June 30, 1998 may not be indicative of operating results for the year ending
December 31, 1998.

Certain prior year and prior quarter amounts have been reclassified to conform
to current classifications.

In the opinion of the company's management, all adjustments necessary to fairly
present the financial position as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and
the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and
1997, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been included.

B. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows (in thousands):

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

PART I
ITEM 2.

This Form 10-Q contains "forward looking statements" which represent Republic's
expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning
Republic's operations, performance, financial condition, growth or strategies.
For this purpose, any statements contained in the Form 10-Q that are not
statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward looking statements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "will",
"expect", "believe", "estimate", "anticipate" or "continue" or the negative or
other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. The statements by their nature involve substantial
risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Republic's control, and
actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important
factors, including but not limited to the potential impact of changes in
interest rates, competition, credit risks and collateral, changes in local or
regional economic conditions, the ability of Republic to continue its growth
strategy, dependence on management and key personnel, regulatory supervision and
cross-border lending activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All historical per share data in this report has been adjusted to reflect a 2.5
- for - 1 stock split in January 1998.

Republic Banking Corporation of Florida ("Republic") reported second quarter
1998 net income of $2.7 million or $0.13 per average basic and diluted share,
compared to $4.7 million or $0.25 per average basic and diluted share in the
second quarter of 1997.

Second quarter 1998 results represent a return on average assets of 0.71%
compared to 1.22% for the second quarter of 1997 . Return on average
shareholders' equity was 6.53% for the second quarter of 1998 compared to 15.32%
for the second quarter of 1997.

The decline in net income, as compared to the second quarter of 1997, is
primarily a result of a higher provision for loan losses and a reduction in net
interest income.

Second quarter 1998 net income was also below first quarter of 1998 net income
of $4.3 million or $0.21 per average basic and diluted share.

Net income for the six month period ended on June 30, 1998 was $7.0 million or
$0.33 per average basic and diluted share, compared to $9.6 million or $0.51 per
average basic and diluted share for the comparable period in 1997.

Results for the six month period in 1998 represent a return on average assets of
0.92% compared to 1.27% for the comparable period in 1997. Return on average
shareholders' equity was 8.68% for the first six months of 1998 compared to
16.12% for the first six months of 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS--(CONTINUED)

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income declined by 3.8% from the second quarter of 1997 reflecting
a decline in interest earning asset volume and in net interest spread. Average
loan volume declined 6.8% and average interest earning assets declined by 1.5%.

The decline in loan volume was offset by increased investment volume and a
decrease in interest bearing liabilities of 3.8%. 

Net interest margin decreased from 4.58% in the second quarter of 1997 to 4.48%
in the second quarter of 1998, and net interest spread decreased from 3.68% to
3.46%.

Net interest spreads were affected by a decline in the yield on earning assets
of 9 basis points resulting from the change in earning asset mix. Spreads were
also affected by an increase in the rate on interest bearing liabilities which
increased 13 basis points. This resulted from higher costs on a premium money
market product and growth in longer term public fund deposits.

The following table represents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar
amount of interest income from average interest earning assets and the resultant
yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities
and the resultant rates. No tax equivalent adjustments have been made. All
average balances are daily average balances. Non-accruing loans have been
included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

</TABLE>

Net interest income for the second quarter of 1998 increased by 1.7% as compared
to the first quarter of 1998. This increase was primarily a result of one more
interest bearing day in the second quarter. Net interest margin remained level
in the second quarter at 4.48% as compared to 4.47% for the first quarter of
1998.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, Republic considers
portfolio quality, composition, loss experience, growth, economic conditions and
other risk factors related to the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses
for the second quarter of 1998 increased to $4.0 million from $1.2 million in
the second quarter of 1997, a 225% increase. At June 30, 1998 the allowance for
loan losses, at $11.4 million, represented 1.2% of total loans and 156.9% of
non-performing loans.

Net charge-offs for the 1998 second quarter were $5.8 million, or 0.62% of
average loans, as compared to $0.5 million, or 0.05% of average loans, in the
second quarter of 1997. Net interest income for the six month period ended June
30, 1998 declined by 3.9% from the comparable period in 1997. Net interest
margin for the six months in 1998 was 4.48% as compared to 4.57% for the first
six months of 1997. The decline in net interest income reflects a decline in
earning assets of 1.7% and a narrowing of the net interest margin.

A partial loss on one large commercial loan, which was placed in non-performing
status at the end of the first quarter, affected the provision for loan losses
for the second quarter. The partial charge-off on this loan was $5.1 million.

The provision for the second quarter of 1998 was also higher than the provision
for the first quarter of 1998 of $1.5 million.

The provision for the six month period of $5.5 million represents a 162%
increase from the $2.1 million provision for the first six month of 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS--(CONTINUED)

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, declined by 1.8% from
the second quarter of 1997. The decline in non-interest income reflects
competitive pricing pressures beginning in the second quarter of 1997 which
continued into the first quarter of 1998.

Non interest income for the second quarter of $5.9 million was 4% above the $5.7
million in non interest income for the first quarter of 1998. Non interest
income for the six month period of $11.7 million is 4% below the $12.1 million
reported for the first six months of 1997.

The following table represents, for the periods indicated, the major categories
of non-interest income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 1998 decreased by 1.5% from the
second quarter of 1997. Personnel costs declined by 2.4% in the same period.
Occupancy and furniture and equipment costs increased 5.5% for the same period.
This reflects the impact of the move into Republic's corporate offices during
the second quarter of 1997, an increase in related property tax costs in 1998,
and an increase in furniture and equipment expenses associated with the
corporate move and computer operations. Other non-interest expenses declined by
4.0%.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 1998 increased by 1% from the
first quarter of 1998.

Non interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 increased by
0.9% from the comparable period in 1997 primarily from the corporate move and
computer operations as noted above.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOAN PORTFOLIO

End of period gross loans at June 30, 1998 declined by $5.8 million, or 0.6%,
from December 31, 1997. Loan portfolio composition shifted during this six month
period with major declines in commercial loans, down $39.0 million or 13.7%,
consumer loans, down $11.5 million or 19.9% and major increases in commercial
real estate and construction loans, up $39.9 million or 12.8% and residential
first mortgage loans, up $12.6 million or 8.1%.

End of period gross loans at June 30, 1998 declined by $15.0 million, or 1.6%,
from March 31, 1998. Commercial real estate and construction loans increased by
7.8% and residential first mortgage loans increased by 4.9% during the quarter.
Growth in the real estate lending segments was offset primarily by a decline of
12.0% in commercial loans, 8.1% in international loans, and 10.2% in consumer
and equity loans.

Growth in real estate lending reflects an increased emphasis in this type of
lending by Republic. The decline in consumer loans reflects the discontinuation
of indirect auto lending activities in 1997. The decline in commercial loans
reflects a reduction in some of the larger individual commercial lending
relationships in excess of $ 10 million.

The following table reflects the major classification of loans for the periods
indicated.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED)

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 1998 of $5.8 million reflect a $5.1
million partial charge-off on a single large commercial loan. This loan was
placed on non-performing status in March 1998 with a specific allocation of $4.4
million. While a significant portion of the loss exposure was provided for in
the first quarter provision, the actual charge-off in the second quarter as well
as other smaller losses affected the overall allowance evaluation process and
resulted in a provision of $4.0 million for the second quarter.

Net charge-offs for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 were $6.1 million
as compared to $0.8 million for the comparable period in 1997. 1998 charge-off
experience is heavily impacted by the $5.1 million charge-off cited above.

Management considers the loss experience in the second quarter to not be
indicative of overall portfolio quality at June 30, 1998 and it believes the
allowance of $11.4 million to be adequate for estimated probable losses in the
loan portfolio.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND OTHER EARNING ASSETS

Average investment securities and other temporary investments represent $444.7
million, or 29.3%, of average assets for the second quarter of 1998. The
investment securities portfolio grew by $13.4 million from March 31, 1998 to
June 30, 1998 and by $26.9 million from December 31, 1997 to June 30, 1998.
Investment activity during the first six months of 1998 was centered on
purchasing U.S. government agency securities. As of June 30, 1998, U.S.
government agency securities comprised 69% of investment securities and U.S.
Treasury obligations comprised 23% of investment securities. The balance of
investment securities is composed of investment grade securities, primarily bank
qualified municipal obligations.

DERIVATIVES

At June 30, 1998, there were no off-balance sheet derivative contracts
outstanding. Republic does engage in a nominal amount of foreign exchange
contracts primarily as an accommodation to commercial customer needs. The
investment portfolio contains securities with callable options.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER FUNDING SOURCES

End of period deposits at June 30, 1998 decreased by $20.9 million, or 1.6%,

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED)

MARKET RISK, INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY

Net interest income, Republic's primary source of revenue, is affected by
changes in interest rates as well as the mix of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities comprising the balance sheet.

Interest rate risk and balance sheet mix is managed within policy guidelines.
The Asset/Liability Management Committee reviews Republic's interest rate risk
and balance sheet mix position on a regular basis.

Temporary investments and debt securities are the primary sources of liquidity.
Additional liquidity is provided by loan repayments and available funding
sources.

Republic uses GAP analysis as an analytical tool but recognizes that
shortcomings are inherent in GAP analysis since certain assets and liabilities
may not move proportionately as interest rates change. Consequently, in addition
to GAP analysis, Republic uses a simulation model to shock and test the interest
rate sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet.

Based on the June 30, 1998 simulation analysis, Republic estimates that a 200
basis point rise or decline in interest rates over the next twelve month period
would have an impact of less than 3% on its net interest income for the same
period.

The following table sets forth an interest rate sensitivity analysis. The table
presents projected cash flows and related weighted average rates by expected
repayment dates at June 30, 1998 and GAP analysis information.

The net offering proceeds to Republic after deduction of the above expenses were
approximately $16.3 million and have temporarily been invested in securities
purchased under agreements to resell transactions with the Bank.

One of the selling shareholders in the Offering was Rebank Netherlands Antilles
