REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Republic Bancorp, Inc.
Louisville, Kentucky
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Republic Bancorp, Inc. as of June 30, 2003, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders equity for the six months ended June 30, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPUBLIC BANCORP, INC.
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. (Parent Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Republic Bank & Trust Company and Republic Bank & Trust Company of Indiana (collectively Bank), and Republic Mortgage Company (all wholly owned subsidiaries and Parent Company to be collectively referred to as Republic or the Company). The consolidated financial statements also include two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Republic Bank & Trust Company: Republic Financial Services, LLC (d/b/a Refunds Now) and Republic Insurance Agency, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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 quarter and six months ending June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto-included in Republics annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Stock Option Plans - Employee compensation expense under stock option plans is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued two new accounting standards, Statement 149, amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities, both of which generally become effective in the quarter beginning July 1, 2003. Management determined that, upon adopting the new standards, they will not materially affect the Companys operating results or financial condition.
Reclassifications - Certain amounts have been reclassified in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period classifications.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
A reconciliation of the combined Class A and Class B Common Stock numerators and denominators of the earnings per share and earnings per share assuming dilution computations are presented below.
Class A and B shares participate equally in undistributed earnings. The difference in earnings per share between the two classes of common stock, if any, results solely from the 10% per share dividend premium paid on Class A Common Stock over that paid on Class B Common Stock. The aggregate dividend premiums paid for the second quarter of 2003 and 2002 were approximately $90,000 and $74,000. The aggregate dividend premiums paid on Class A Common Stock for the first six months of 2003 and 2002 were approximately $164,000 and $130,000.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered and are primarily distinguished between banking, tax refund services, mortgage banking and deferred deposits. Loans, investments and deposits provide the revenue for banking operations, refund anticipation loans and electronic refund checks provide the revenue for tax refund services, cash advance transactions provide the revenue for deferred deposit services, and loan sales provide the revenue for mortgage banking. All operations are domestic.
The accounting policies used are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Income taxes and indirect expenses are allocated based on revenue. Transactions among segments are made at fair value. Referral fees paid to the Bank by the Mortgage Banking operations are reflected in other revenue. Information reported internally for performance assessment follows:

PART 1
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Republic Bancorp, Inc. (Republic or the Company), headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, was incorporated on January 2, 1974. Republic Bank & Trust Company and Republic Bank & Trust Company of Indiana (collectively Bank) are commercial banking corporations organized and chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and state of Indiana. Republic Bank & Trust Company is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky and provides banking services through 26 banking centers throughout Kentucky. Republic Bank & Trust Company of Indiana is headquartered in Clarksville, Indiana and conducts its banking business through two banking centers in southern Indiana. The activities of the Company include the acceptance of deposits for checking, savings and time deposit accounts, making secured and unsecured loans, investing in securities, tax refund processing services, deferred deposit transactions, trust and insurance services. The Banks lending services include the origination of real estate, commercial and consumer loans. 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, municipalities and corporations. Governmental regulators for Republic include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis) and the Kentucky and Indiana Departments of Financial Institutions.
Republic has made, and may continue to make, various forward-looking statements with respect to credit quality (including delinquency trends and the Allowance for Loan Losses), corporate objectives and other financial and business matters. When used in this discussion the words anticipate, project, expect, believe, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Republic cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, all of which may change over time. Actual results could differ materially from forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors disclosed by Republic, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements: pricing pressures on loan and deposit products; competition; changes in economic conditions both nationally and in the Banks markets; the extent and timing of actions of the Federal Reserve Board; customers acceptance of the Banks products and services; and the extent and timing of legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.
OVERVIEW
Net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2003 was $7.3 million and $17.2 million, representing an increase of $2.3 million and $5.6 million compared to the same periods in 2002. Diluted earnings per Class A Common shares increased 45% for both the second quarter and first six months of 2003 to $0.42 and $1.00. Republics rise in earnings was primarily due to increased net interest income, gain on sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposit accounts, and deferred deposit transactions. Increased earnings at Refunds Now also significantly impacted net income for the first six months of 2003, which generates a substantial portion of its revenues during the first quarter of each year.
16
REFUNDS NOW
Refunds Now is a tax refund processing service for taxpayers receiving both federal and state tax refunds through tax preparers located nationwide. Refund anticipation loans (RALs) are made to taxpayers filing income tax returns electronically. The RALs are repaid by the taxpayer when the taxpayers refunds are electronically received by the Bank from governmental taxing authorities. Refunds Now also provides electronic refund checks (ERCs) and Electronic Refund Deposits (ERDs) to taxpayers. After receiving refunds electronically from governmental taxing authorities, a check or a direct payment to the taxpayers account is issued for the amount of the refund, less fees.
For the first six months of 2003, Refunds Now generated $6.7 million in refund anticipation loan fees, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2002. Refunds Now also received $3.9 million in electronic refund check fees in the first six months of 2003, compared to $3.1 million during the first six months of 2002. Internal analysis of government tax refund payments to recipients not approved for a RAL during the 2002 tax season resulted in an increase in the number of RAL applications approved during the 2003 tax season. This, along with other strategic changes, resulted in a shift in product mix toward the RAL product. In addition, the total number of tax preparers served by Refunds Now during the first six months increased 81% over the same period in 2002. Overall, RAL volume increased 102% during the first six months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 while ERC volume rose 25% for the same periods. Refunds Now expect to continue aggressively marketing its products to additional tax preparers during 2003 in preparation for the 2004 tax season.
DEFERRED DEPOSIT TRANSACTIONS
Deferred deposits are transactions in which customers typically receive cash advances in exchange for a postdated check for the advanced amount plus a fixed fee. The advance provider, on behalf of the Bank, agrees to delay presentment of the check for payment until the advance due date, typically 14 to 31 days from the cash advance date. On or before the advance due date, the customer can redeem his check for the amount of the advance plus the fee. If the customer does not reclaim the check by the advance due date, the check is deposited. Based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these transactions are recorded as loans on the Companys financial statements and the corresponding fees are recorded as a component of interest income on loans.
The Company has been conducting a deferred deposit transaction business, in conjunction with a third party Marketer/Servicer, on a limited basis since August 2001. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company entered into new contracts with two third-party Marketer/Servicers in order to increase its deferred deposit transaction business. During 2003, the Company further expanded its relationship with one of its Marketer/Servicers that contributed to a substantial increase in deferred deposit transactions. These outstandings totaled $20.6 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 2002. Currently, the Company has an internal limit not to exceed $25 million that was established by management. FDIC guidance issued in July 2003 requires that banks limit deferred deposit transaction outstandings to the lesser of 25% of tier I capital or the amount that actual capital levels exceed the well capitalized classification for tier I and total capital. Based on the Banks capital levels at quarter-end, deferred deposit transaction outstandings were well below the Banks regulatory limit of $41 million.
The third parties with which the Company does business have at times experienced legal and or regulatory obstacles in some states in which they do business. In these states, laws have been enacted or amended to prohibit or limit their ability to conduct business without a financial institution partner. In addition, the Comptroller of the Currency has effectively prohibited national banks from conducting this business. This has provided opportunities for selected state-chartered commercial banks to enter the business, affording an opportunity to earn additional income with manageable capital outlays.
17
The legal and regulatory climate for this product continues to change. The FDIC final guidance issued in July 2003 characterizes deferred deposit transactions as presenting substantial credit risks for lenders, as well as increased transaction, legal and reputation risks when a third party arrangement is used. This guidance proposes, among other items, that banks hold significantly more capital than would be required for other sub-prime type loans, suggesting as much as 100% of deferred deposit transactions outstanding, that the allowances for loan and lease losses be adequate and take into account that many such transactions remain outstanding beyond their initial term due to roll-overs, that deferred deposit transactions be classified substandard, and that transactions that have been outstanding for more than 60 days generally be classified as loss. The guidance also prescribes limits on the ability of a borrower to renew or roll over a deferred deposit transaction and on the number of transactions that can be made to a customer within a given period of time. The guidance requires examiners to assess the banks risk management program for third party marketing and servicing relationships, including the banks due diligence process for selecting a third party marketing and servicing provider and its monitoring of the third partys activities and performance, and to closely scrutinize the banks compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations.
The Company believes that it has adequately considered and addressed the risks associated with its deferred deposit transaction business, including the risks discussed in the FDIC guidelines, and that the Companys size, technological resources and experience in the successful management of non-traditional product lines, among other factors, will enable the Company to effectively manage and control its participation in the deferred deposit transaction business. There can be no assurance, however, that the FDIC or others will not impose additional limitations on or prohibit banks from engaging altogether in deferred deposit transactions, or that the Banks ability to continue to engage in the business profitably or at all will not be negatively impacted by the requirements of applicable laws, regulations or guidelines.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income. For the second quarter and first six months of 2003, the Company was able to increase its net interest income primarily through loan volume and a reduction in the Companys cost of funds. Deferred deposit transactions, early termination penalties on loans and growth in the portfolio were significant factors contributing to the increase in net interest income for the second quarter and first six months of 2003. The growth in the loan portfolio was primarily due to the retention of approximately $120 million of 15-year, fixed rate residential real estate loans during the previous nine months. In addition, an increase in Refund Anticipation Loan fees from Refunds Now also was a significant component to the overall increase for the first six months of 2003.
Republics cost of funds decreased 87 basis points and 82 basis points for the second quarter and first six months of 2003. These decreases were primarily the result of lower borrowing costs from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and lower interest expense associated with certificates of deposit (CDs). Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased for both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 due to the maturity or early pay-off of approximately $115 million of advances with a weighted-average cost of 6.29% subsequent to the second quarter of 2002. Interest expense on CDs decreased significantly due to the availability of lower cost funding sources which allowed the Company to generally lower pricing on its CD product offerings. As a result of strategic CD pricing, the Companys overall CD balances declined during the second quarter and first six months of 2003.
Due to the seasonality of Refunds Now, the Companys net interest margin during the rest of 2003 will not attain the level achieved in the first half of 2003, however, the Companys net interest margin during the third quarter of 2003 will likely be at or near that attained during the second quarter of 2003.
Tables 1 and 2 provide detailed information as to average balance, interest income/expense, and rates by major balance sheet category for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

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 Republics 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 increased 107% and 73% for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2002. The increases were primarily due to an increase in gain on sale of loans into the secondary market, service charges on deposit accounts and electronic refund check fees.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased 36% during the second quarter and 32% during the first six months of 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002, due primarily to an increase in the number of transaction accounts. The Bank continues to increase its transaction-account customer base through new banking center locations and promotions, direct-mail solicitations, marketing initiatives and cross-sell opportunities created by 1-4 family loan origination volume.
Net gain on sale of loans increased $3.7 million and $7.2 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2003 compared to the same periods of 2002. Loans sold increased from $118 million during the second quarter of 2002 to $267 million in the second quarter of 2003 and from $317 million during the first six months of 2002 to $541 million for the first six months of 2003. These increases were primarily the result of aggressive marketing of the Companys $999 loan product and sustained consumer demand for fixed-rate, first mortgage residential loan products resulting from historically low market interest rates. The Company was able to realize a higher margin on its loans sold by utilizing favorable secondary market pricing strategies and selling its loans directly to governmental agency investors. By selling loans directly to governmental agency investors, Republic improved its cash flows through faster funding while realizing more favorable pricing. Overall, the Companys gains as a percentage of loans sold increased from 0.98% during the second quarter of 2002 to 1.71% for the second quarter of 2003 and 0.91% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 1.87% during the first six months of 2003.
In addition to the $120 million in fixed rate residential real estate loans retained in the previous nine months, management has elected to retain an additional $60 million in fixed-rate residential real estate loans that the Company has traditionally sold into the secondary market. These loans are expected to close in the third quarter of 2003 and will be funded through advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Management is also considering retaining a fourth pool of $60 million in fixed-rate residential real estate loans depending upon funding availability and costs. As a result of the planned retention(s), the volume of loans sold into the secondary market may be lower than the second quarter of 2003 with a corresponding reduction in gain on sale of loans.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased during the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. The most significant factors comprising the increases in non-interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2003 were increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment and other expenses.
The increases in salaries and benefits as well as occupancy and equipment were primarily attributable to banking center expansion. Republic opened two banking centers during the third quarter of 2002 and three banking centers through the first six months of 2003. The Company also hired additional support staff throughout the Company to service the banking center expansion activities. Total full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) increased to 616 at June 30, 2003 from 545 at June 30, 2002. The total number of FTEs is expected to increase 10% - 15% by year-end from the June 30, 2003 figure, primarily due to the projected opening of six additional banking centers during that period.
Other expenses increased $880,000 and $1.2 million for the second quarter and first six months ended June 20, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. The increases were primarily related to credit underwriting costs and correspondent banking expenses associated with the Companys deferred deposit program.
22
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2003 AND DECEMBER 31, 2002
Securities available for sale. Securities available for sale primarily consists of U.S. Government Agency obligations, which include agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). The Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBSs) consist of 15-year fixed and 7-year and 5-year balloon as well as other adjustable rate mortgage securities. The Companys mortgage related floating rate securities include both agency and corporate securities.
Securities available for sale increased from $203 million at December 31, 2002 to $215 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in the available for sale portfolio was primarily in MBSs and floating rate CMOs. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company also had paydowns of approximately $58 million in MBSs and CMOs. Cash from these paydowns was reinvested into similar type products.
Securities to be held to maturity. Securities to be held to maturity consist primarily of floating rate CMOs. Securities to be held to maturity decreased from $85 million at December 31, 2002 to $68 million at June 30, 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of $46 million in paydowns of floating rate CMO products.
Mortgage loans held for sale. Mortgage loans held for sale is primarily comprised of fixed-rate, 1-4 family residential loans the Company intends to sell into the secondary market. Management has traditionally elected to sell the majority of its fixed-rate 1-4 family residential loans into the secondary market in order to reduce its exposure to market interest rate risk. During the second quarter, management completed its retention of a second pool of $60 million in 15-year, fixed-rate residential real estate loans, all underwritten within secondary market guidelines.
As a result of Republics mortgage banking operations, certain loan commitments are accounted for as derivatives. In addition, Republic enters into agreements to sell loans for amounts and terms offsetting the interest rate risk of loans held for sale and loan commitments expected to close. These agreements to sell loans are also accounted for as derivatives. Because sales contract derivatives are entered into for amounts and terms offsetting the interest rate risk of loan commitment derivatives and both are carried at their fair value with changes included in earnings and substantially offset. Substantially all of the gain on sale generated from mortgage banking activities continues to be recorded when closed loans are delivered into the sales contracts.
Loans. Net loans, primarily consisting of secured real estate loans, increased by $104 million to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2003. Commercial real estate loans, which comprise 32 % of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2003, are concentrated primarily within the Banks existing markets. These loans are principally secured by multi-family investment properties, single-family developments, medical facilities, small business owner-occupied offices, and retail properties, hotels, and to a lesser extent, golf courses. These loans typically have interest rates that are initially fixed for one to seven years with the remainder of the loan term subject to repricing based on various market indices. In order to reduce the negative effect of refinance activity within the portfolio during a declining interest rate environment, the Company requires an early termination penalty on substantially all commercial real estate loans for a portion of the fixed-term period. Overall, commercial real estate loans increased $33 million from December 31, 2002. Republic maintained its underwriting standards, which includes personal guarantees on substantially all commercial real estate loans, and pricing requirements during the first six months of 2003 despite continued competitive pressures in both areas. As a result, the commercial real estate portfolio experienced modest growth compared to prior years. Republic began offering a reduced closing-costs commercial real estate product during the first quarter of 2003. Management plans to continue to aggressively market this product through various media outlets, while maintaining its traditional underwriting standards.
Similar to commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans typically have fixed interest rate periods of one to seven years with the remainder of the loan term subject to repricing based on various market indices. These loans also carry an early termination penalty during a portion of their fixed rate periods in order to lessen the overall negative effect to the Company of refinancings in a declining interest rate environment. Despite early termination penalties on many of its portfolio residential real estate loans, the Company continued to experience a high level of refinance activity into fixed-rate secondary market products during the first half of 2003. Overall, residential real estate loans increased by only $38 million during the quarter. Responding to the high level of continued refinance activity within the portfolio, management elected to retain $60 million of 15-year, fixed-rate secondary market
23
eligible loans within the Companys portfolio. To mitigate the interest rate risk on this portion of the residential real estate loan portfolio, the Company borrowed $60 million in FHLB advances with maturities ranging from one to seven years to fund these loans.
The consumer loan portfolio principally consists of various short-term, unsecured loans to individual clients. Also included in this category are deferred deposit transactions, which are considered loans under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company had approximately $21 million in deferred deposit transactions outstanding at June 30, 2003 compared to $3 million at December 31, 2002.
Home equity loans increased from $159 million at December 31, 2002 to $179 million at June 30, 2003. The rise in outstandings was primarily the result of increased cross-sale opportunities in conjunction with the origination of fixed-rate, secondary market loan products as part of the Companys partnership package. As part of the partnership package, the Companys fixed-rate, secondary market loan clients are routinely approved for a home equity line-of-credit. As a result, the Company opened approximately 2,718 new home equity lines of credit during the first six months of 2003. At June 30, 2003, Republic clients had $173 million of unfunded home equity lines of credit available for use.
In addition to changes in the traditional loan portfolio, loans serviced for others by Republic increased from $288 million at December 31, 2002, to $572 million at June 30, 2003. Loans serviced for others consist of loans Republic has sold into the secondary market but has retained the servicing responsibility for the loans. This type of transaction is generally referred to as loans sold servicing-retained. When the Company sells a loan with servicing retained, a gain is recognized for the servicing asset of the loan equal to its market value at the time of sale. The corresponding intangible asset known as a mortgage servicing right is amortized over the life of the loan and measured periodically for impairment.
Prior to 2003, Republic sold a substantial portion of its loans into the secondary market with the corresponding servicing of the loan sold. Beginning in 2003, Republic began selling a large portion of its loans directly to third party governmental agencies, which do not purchase the servicing component of the loan. As a result, the Company has experienced an increase in loans serviced for others and the corresponding mortgage servicing rights, which increased from $3 million at December 31, 2002 to $5 million at June 30, 2003. Management has reviewed the value of these servicing rights and determined that there is no impairment as of June 30, 2003. Management elected to utilize this strategy due to more favorable pricing received from the government agencies as well as faster funding to the Company for the loans sold. Management will continues to evaluate the feasibility of selling the servicing component to third parties in the future.
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses. Republic maintains an allowance for probable credit losses inherent in the Companys loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and regularly presents and discusses the analysis with the board of directors. Management estimates the allowance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower capactiy, estimated collateral values, economic conditions, regulatory requirements and guidance and other factors. While management estimates the allowance for loan losses, in part, based on historical losses within each loan category, estimates for losses within the commercial real estate portfolio are more dependent upon credit analysis and recent payment performance due to the fact that the Company only began actively pursuing commercial real estate loans within the last five years. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans or loan categories, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that may be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management deems a loan uncollectible.
Management makes allocations within the allowance for specifically classified loans regardless of loan amount, collateral or loan type. Loans that are past due 90 days or more and that are not specifically classified are uniformly assigned a risk-weighted percentage ranging from 15% to 100% of the loan balance based upon loan type. Management evaluates the remaining loan portfolio by utilizing the historical loss rate for each respective loan type. Both an average five-year loss rate and a loss rate based on heavier weighting of the previous two years loss experience are utilized in the analysis. Specialized loan categories are evaluated by utilizing subjective factors in addition to a historical loss calculation to determine a loss allocation for each of those types. Because this analysis or any similar analysis is an imprecise measure of loss, the allowance is typically subject to additional adjustments.
24
Therefore, management will also take into account other significant factors as may be necessary or prudent in order to reflect, properly, potential losses in the total loan portfolio.
The Companys provision for loans losses increased from $1.2 million for the first six months of 2002 to $6.2 million for the same period in 2003. Included in the provision for loan losses were $1.9 million and $45,000 for Refund Anticipation Loans (RALs) during the first six months of 2003 and 2002. The increase in losses associated with RALs during 2003 was primarily the result of a significant increase in RAL volume. Exclusive of Refunds Now, Republics provision for loan losses increased $3.3 million comparing the second quarter of 2003 to the second quarter of 2002. The increase in the provision, exclusive of Refunds Now, was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans, which have been impacted by the declining economy as well as higher net charge offs during 2003 as compared to prior periods.
The total allowance for loan losses increased $2.5 million from December 31, 2002 to $12.7 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was due to growth in commercial real estate lending, an overall change in the product mix within the loan portfolios and to account for the modest increase in non-performing loans. Management believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for loan losses at June 30, 2003. Management continues to closely monitor the commercial real estate loan portfolio in particular, recognizing that commercial real estate loans generally carry a greater risk of loss than residential real estate loans.
Table 4 below depicts the allowance activity by loan type for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Deposits. Total deposits were $1.0 billion at December 31, 2002 compared to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2003. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $37 million while interest bearing deposits increased $74 million from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003. Non-interest bearing deposits also include various escrow accounts, which are subject to balance fluctuations from period to period, as well.
The Banks interest-bearing money market accounts, excluding internet money markets and money market certificates of deposit, increased $35 million during the second quarter of 2003. A substantial portion of the increase in this product was from funds transferred from securities sold under agreements to repurchase into the Companys Premier First product. The Premier First account, which is designed for business clients and provides competitive market rates, is the lead product utilized by the Banks cash management department.
Brokered deposits increased $25 million during the first six months of 2003. Republic utilized brokered deposits with an average rate of 1.95% to fund RAL activity at Refunds Now during the first quarter. These deposits were primarily short-term in nature with maturities ranging from three months to one year. Management considers these deposits an attractive funding source for Refunds Now due to their low cost of acquisition as compared to retail certificates of deposit. These funds are also readily accessible and more easily matched on a short-term basis with RAL products. Management will continue to consider brokered deposits as a funding source for Refunds Now
26
during the 2004 tax season, but does not anticipate on-going utilization of brokered deposits to fund traditional Bank activities.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings decreased $77 million during the second quarter of 2003. Approximately $36 million of this decrease was due to a switch in product type by several clients into the Companys higher yielding Premier First money market product. The remaining decline was primarily due to decreases in a small number of the Companys larger cash management accounts. Because these accounts are transaction based, they are inherently subject to large periodic balance changes.
FHLB advances. FHLB advances increased $42 million during the first six months to $362 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in advances was primarily a result of funding needed related to the retention of $60 million of 15-year fixed rate mortgage loans. The weighted average cost of advances used to fund these loans was 3.24%. The weighted-average coupon of the new term advances during the first six months of 2003 was 3.06%.
Approximately $236 million of the Companys advances are fixed with original maturities ranging from two through seven years and $11 million borrowed overnight. The remaining $115 million of the Companys advances are convertible with original fixed-rate periods ranging from one to five years and original maturities ranging from five to ten years. At the end of their respective fixed-rate periods, the Federal Home Loan Bank has the right to convert the borrowings to floating-rate advances tied to LIBOR. If the FHLB elects to convert the debt to a floating rate instrument, Republic also has the right to pay off the advances without penalty. At June 30, 2003, the Company had $30 million in these advances that were eligible to be converted on their quarterly repricing date. Based on market conditions at this time, management does not believe these advances are likely to be converted in the near-term.
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 or are deemed uncollectible.
The Banks level of loans delinquent more than 30 days decreased to 0.96% at June 30, 2003, down from 1.02% at December 31, 2002. The improvement is primarily attributable to a small number of commercial real estate loans, past due at December 31, 2002, brought current as of June 30, 2003. Republic experienced an increase in total non-performing loans from $9.8 million at December 31, 2002 to $10.8 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in non-accrual loans was primarily attributable to two large real estate secured construction loans. The receivables comprising loans on non-accrual status are primarily real estate secured with a minimal risk of significant financial loss.

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 loans have been written off or a specific allowance for loss has been provided). Republics 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 may not be collected. Impaired loans, which are a component of loans on non-accrual status, increased from $1.2 million at December 31, 2002 to $3.7 million at June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to one relationship secured by commercial real estate. Management believes it has provided an allocation of the allowance for loan losses adequate to absorb any potential losses.
LIQUIDITY
Republic maintains sufficient liquidity to fund loan demand and routine deposit withdrawal activity. Liquidity is managed by retaining sufficient liquid assets in the form of investment securities and core deposits to meet demand. Funding and cash flows can also be realized by the sale of securities in the available-for-sale portion of the investment portfolio, principal paydowns on loans and mortgage-backed securities and proceeds realized from the loans held-for-sale category. Republics banking centers and its Internet site, republicbank.com, also provide access to retail deposit markets. These retail deposits, if offered at attractive rates, have historically been a source of funding when needed. The Company utilized brokered deposits during the first quarter of 2003 as a funding source for Refund Anticipation Loans at Refunds Now and will likely consider using brokered deposits as a funding source for the first quarter of 2004.
Traditionally, the Bank has also utilized borrowings from the FHLB to supplement its funding requirements. On June 30, 2003, the Company had $49 million of borrowing capacity with the FHLB and sufficient security collateral available to borrow, approximately, an additional $47 million. While Republic utilizes numerous funding sources in order to meet liquidity requirements, the Company also has $60 million in approved unsecured line of credit facilities available at June 30, 2003 through various third party sources.
28
CAPITAL
Total stockholders equity increased from $151 million at December 31, 2002 to $168 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in stockholders equity was primarily attributable to net income earned during the second quarter of 2003. There was also a positive impact on accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the increased value of the available for sale securities portfolio. In addition, stockholders equity increased as a result of stock options exercised by Republics employees and directors.
In 1998 and 1999, Republic Bancorps board of directors approved a Class A share repurchase program of 500,000 shares. Through June 30, 2003, Republic purchased approximately 491,000 shares with a weighted-average cost of $10.30, and a total cost of $5.1 million. In March of 2003, the Companys board of directors authorized management to repurchase an additional 250,000 shares bringing the total shares available for purchase to 259,000.
Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements, in part, dependent on the individual risk profiles of financial institutions. Republic continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for Tier I, Tier I leverage and total risk-based capital. The Bank intends to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the well capitalized requirements as defined by the FDIC. Republics average capital to average assets ratio was 8.99 % at June 30, 2003 compared to 8.89% at December 31, 2002.

Kentucky banking laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid to the Parent Company by Republic Bank & Trust Company without prior approval of the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions. Under these laws, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to current years net income, as defined in the laws, combined with the retained net income of the preceding two years, less any dividends declared during those periods. At June 30, 2003, Republic Bank & Trust Company had approximately $33 million of retained earnings that could be utilized for payment of dividends if authorized by its board of directors without prior regulatory approval.
Indiana banking laws prohibit the payment of dividends to the Parent Company by Republic Bank & Trust Company of Indiana for a period of three years without prior approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. These laws also require a minimum Tier I Capital ratio of 8% to be maintained until May 2004.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK
Asset/liability management control is designed to ensure safety and soundness, maintain liquidity and regulatory capital standards, and achieve acceptable net interest income. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the net interest income as a result of market fluctuations in interest rates. Management, on an ongoing basis, monitors interest rate and liquidity risk in order to implement appropriate funding and balance sheet strategies. Management considers interest rate risk to be Republics most significant market risk.
Republic utilizes an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity. Potential changes in market interest rates and their subsequent effects on net interest income are then evaluated. The model projects the effect of instantaneous movements in interest rates of both 100 and 200 basis points. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of Republics deposit and loan rates and their related balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the models simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.
Republics interest sensitivity profile reflected little change from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003. Given a sustained 100 basis point downward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, Republics base net interest income would decrease by an estimated 2.14% at June 30, 2003 compared to a decrease of 1.09% at December 31, 2002. Given a 100 basis point increase in the yield curve Republics base net interest income would decrease by an estimated 2.46% at June 30, 2003 compared to a decrease of 2.48% at December 31, 2002.
The interest sensitivity profile of Republic at any point in time will be affected by a number of factors. These factors include the mix of interest sensitive assets and liabilities as well as their relative pricing schedules. It is also influenced by market interest rates, deposit growth, loan growth, and other factors.
