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, 2002, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2002.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 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”), Republic Capital Trust 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, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002.  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, 2001.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements – A new accounting standard requires all business combinations to be recorded using the purchase method of accounting for any transaction initiated after June 30, 2001.  Under the purchase method, all identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the acquired company must be recorded at fair value at date of acquisition, and the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.  Identifiable intangible assets must be separated from goodwill.  Under the new standard, amortization will occur for identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives, whereas goodwill, both amounts previously recorded and future amounts purchased, have ceased being amortized as of the beginning of 2002.  Annual impairment testing will be required for goodwill with impairment being recorded if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.  Adoption of this standard on January 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on the Republic’s financial statements.

 

Reclassifications - Certain amounts have been reclassified in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period classifications.

5.  SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

 

These agreements consist of short-term excess funds from correspondent banks 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 or liabilities secured by Federal Home Loan Bank letters of credit.  Repurchase agreements secured by securities 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.  All securities underlying the agreements were under Republic’s control.

7.  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 2002 and 2001 were approximately $74,000 and $55,000, respectively.  The aggregate dividend premiums paid on Class A Common Stock for the first six months of 2002 and 2001 were approximately $130,000 and $111,000, respectively.

Stock options for 193,750 and 253,500 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively, were excluded from the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 earnings per share assuming dilution because their impact was antidilutive.

 

8.              GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN REPUBLIC’S SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

 

In February 1997, Republic Capital Trust (RCT), a trust subsidiary of Republic Bancorp, Inc., completed the private placement of 64,520 shares of cumulative trust preferred securities with a liquidation preference of $100 per security.  Each security could be converted into ten shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder.  The sole asset of RCT represents the proceeds of the offering loaned to Republic Bancorp, Inc. in exchange for subordinated debentures which have terms that are similar to the Trust Preferred Securities.  The subordinated debentures and the related interest expense, payable quarterly at the annual rate of 8.5%, are included in the consolidated financial statements.

 

As permitted under the agreement, management redeemed these securities on April 1, 2002.  Approximately $800,000 of these securities were redeemed for cash, the remaining $5.1 million were converted into 507,700 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.  This transaction, on an annualized basis, will have a negative impact of approximately $0.03 on basic earnings per share on an annualized basis and will have no effect on dilutive earnings per share.

9.     SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered and are primarily distinguished between banking, tax refund services and mortgage banking.  Loans, investments, deposits and fees provide the revenue for banking operations, fees from refund anticipation loans and electronic refund checks provide the revenue for tax refund services; and servicing fees 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

 

ITEM 2

 

MANAGEMENT’S 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 and trust corporations organized and chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and state of Indiana, respectively.  Republic Bank & Trust Company is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky and provides banking services through 22 banking centers throughout Kentucky.  Republic Bank & Trust Company of Indiana is headquartered in Clarksville, Indiana and conducts its banking business through 2 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 Bank’s markets; the extent and timing of actions of the Federal Reserve Board; customers’ acceptance of the Bank’s products and services; and the extent and timing of legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $5.0 million, up $586,000 over the same period in 2001.  Second quarter diluted earnings per Class A Common share increased 7% over the same period in 2001, to $0.29.  Republic’s rise in earnings was primarily due to increased net interest income, the overall performance of the Company’s tax refund service and increased service charges on deposit accounts.

 

Net income for the first six months of 2002 was $11.7 million, up $2.5 million over the same period in 2001.  Six months diluted earnings per Class A Common share increased 25% over the same period in 2001, to $0.69.  Republic’s increased earnings were primarily due to increases in net interest income, the overall performance of the Company’s tax refund processing services, service charges on deposit accounts and gain on sale of loans into the secondary market.

Republic’s total assets remained consistent at $1.6 billion at June 30, 2002. Net loans decreased $21 million from December 31, 2001 to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2002.  Residential real estate loans decreased during the first six months of 2002 as market interest rates remained at relatively low levels.  This prompted a number of consumers to refinance existing bank level mortgage loans into long-term, fixed rate secondary market products.  Commercial real estate originations remained steady for the first six months of 2002 with commercial real estate loans increasing by $16 million during the period.

 

REFUNDS NOW

 

Refunds Now is a refund tax 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 taxpayer’s refunds are electronically received by the Bank from governmental taxing authorities.  Refunds Now also provides electronic refund checks (“ERCs”) to taxpayers.  After receiving refunds electronically from governmental taxing authorities, checks are issued to taxpayers for the amount of their refund, less fees.  During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Refunds Now generated $3.3 million in refund anticipation loan fees, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2001. Refunds Now also received $3.1 million in electronic refund check fees in the first six months of 2002, compared to $2.1 million during first half 2001.  In addition, RAL volume was up 30% from the first six months of 2001.  The increase in revenues for Refunds Now resulted from an increase in the number of tax offices served as well as increased volume from existing offices.  Refunds Now expects to continue aggressively marketing its products to additional tax preparers during 2002 in preparation for the 2003 tax season.  Substantially all of the income realized by the Bank from the activities of Refunds Now is recognized during the first quarter of the year.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net Interest Income. For the second quarter and first six months of 2002, the Company was able to increase its net interest income due primarily to a reduction in short-term market interest rates compared to the same periods in 2001.  The Company also benefited from higher average balances in mortgage-backed securities during the second quarter and first six months of 2002.

 

While the net interest margin was higher during the second quarter and first six months of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001, continued downward repricing of the Bank’s adjustable rate mortgage portfolio without a corresponding downward repricing of the Bank’s interest bearing liabilities have caused a contraction of the net interest margin within 2002.  Management anticipates this contraction in the net interest margin to continue in the near-term if market interest rates remain at current levels.  The earnings effect of this narrowing of the net interest margin potentially could be offset by future growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio, as well as, future maturities of higher-rate, long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.  (For additional analysis on the effect of increasing and decreasing interest rates on the Company’s net interest margin, see the interest rate sensitivity model in this document.)

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.

(1)           The amount of fees on loans in total interest income was approximately $601,000 and $737,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

(2)           The amount of fees on loans in total interest income was approximately $4.5 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income decreased 11% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001, primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of loans into the secondary market and the fact that no security gains were realized during the second quarter of 2002.  Non-interest income increased 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the first six months of 2001, due to increases in gain on sale of loans into the secondary market, electronic refund check fees and service charges on deposit accounts.

 

Service charges on deposit accounts increased 40% during the second quarter and 37% during the first six months of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001, 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.

 

Electronic refund check (ERC) fees increased $124,000 and $1.0 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001.  This increase was due primarily to a substantial increase in overall ERC volume compared to prior year resulting from successful marketing efforts during 2001.  Substantially all ERC revenue is recognized during the first quarter of each calendar year.

 

Title insurance commissions decreased $23,000 and increased $222,000, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001.  Title insurance commissions are earned when title insurance policies are sold to clients on newly originated real estate secured loans.  Since a substantial portion of these commissions are earned on policies relating to 1-4 family real estate loans, the income closely correlates to 1-4 family loan origination volume.  Because originations of residential real estate loans declined for the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, title insurance commissions also declined.  Loan origination volume was strong for the first quarter of 2002, which contributed to an overall increase in title insurance commissions comparing the first six months of 2002 to the same period in 2001.

 

Net gain on sale of loans decreased $715,000 during the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001 as long-term market interest rates contributed to a slow-down of fixed-rate, 1-4 family residential real estate originations during the period.  Additionally, the Bank adjusted the pricing on its portfolio adjustable rate products to be more competitive with fixed rate secondary market loans, which also contributed to the reduction in secondary market loan originations.  Overall, the Bank originated $114 million in mortgage loans available for sale during the second quarter of 2002 compared to $148 million during the first quarter of 2001.  Management anticipates the origination volume in the third quarter of 2002 will increase compared to the volume experienced during the second quarter of 2002 as long-term market interest rates have recently trended lower.

 

Net gain on sale of loans increased $667,000 during the first six months of 2002 compared to the first six months of 2001 due primarily to the strong secondary market sales volume achieved during the first quarter of 2002.  Overall, the Bank originated $298 million in mortgage loans available for sale during the first six months of 2002 compared $240 million during the same period in 2001.

 

Net gain on sale of securities was $0 for all periods to date in 2002 compared to $570,000 and $1.2 million during the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2001, respectively.  The Company had approximately $12 million in securities called during the second quarter of 2001 and $55 million called during the first six months of 2001 compared to no calls during all periods in 2002.  Management also elected to sell approximately $23 million in securities during the second quarter of 2001 and $87 million during the first six months of 2001 due to favorable market conditions and anticipation of significant prepayments on a portion of the Bank’s CMO and other mortgage-backed investment products.  The Bank had no sale of securities thus far during 2002 due to overall economic uncertainty in the market place and generally unfavorable reinvestment opportunities.  Management continues to closely monitor the CMO and other mortgage-backed products for prepayment trends and may elect to sell a portion of these securities in the near-term if substantial prepayments appear likely.

 

22



 

Non-Interest ExpenseNon-interest expense increased during the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001.   The most significant factor comprising the increase in non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 was an increase in salaries and benefits.

 

The increase in salaries and benefits was attributable to annual merit increases and associated incentive compensation accruals, additional seasonal staff at Refunds Now and additional staff to support the strong loan origination volume attained during the first quarter of 2002.   In addition the Company opened a new fully staffed banking center in New Albany, Indiana during the first quarter of 2002 and began hiring support staff for two new banking centers, one which opened in August 2002 and one which is scheduled to open in September of this year.  Total full-time equivalent employees (FTE’s) increased to 545 at June 30, 2002 from 500 at June 30, 2001.

 

Legal expense declined for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001 as the Company had previously settled and successfully concluded its patent litigation case during 2001.

 

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001

 

Securities available for sale.  Securities available for sale primarily consists of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agency obligations, which include agency mortgage-backed securities. The agency mortgage–backed securities (MBS’s) consist of 15-year fixed, 7-year balloons and 5-year balloons as well as other adjustable rate mortgage securities, underwritten and guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC and FNMA.  Agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO’s) are also held in the investment portfolio.  The coupon on the Bank’s CMO’s adjusts monthly.

 

Securities available for sale increased from $212 million at December 31, 2001 to $285 million at June 30, 2002.   The increase in the available for sale portfolio was primarily in the MBS, CMO, and government agency categories.  Management elected to invest funds in these securities due to their greater interest rate spread compared to U.S. Treasuries.

 

Securities to be held to maturity.   Securities in the held to maturity portfolio decreased from $82 million at December 31, 2001 to $54 million at June 30, 2002.  The decrease was primarily the result of a maturity of a short-term U.S. Treasury bill of $50 million, which was purchased in December 2001 for liquidity purposes.  The Bank purchased approximately $22 million in CMO’s, subject to monthly repricing, during the 2002 which were classified as held to maturity.

 

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 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.  Mortgage loans held for sale decreased to $16 million at June 30, 2002 due primarily to a slowdown in 1-4 family secondary market loan originations during the second quarter of 2002.  (See discussion of gain on sale of loans in non-interest income section of this document.)

 

Loans.   Net loans, primarily consisting of secured real estate loans, decreased by $21 million to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2002.  Republic’s commercial real estate lending portfolio increased $16 million from December 31, 2001 as the Bank’s commercial real estate loan production remained steady, but at a slower pace than 2001.  The real estate construction portfolio declined $6 million during the first six months of 2002 as management elected to reduce the Company’s marketing efforts of this product in order to concentrate on other more profitable loan products, given the amount of oversight required to mitigate the associated risk.  Residential real estate loans declined $38 million as a result of continued refinance activity into secondary market eligible fixed rate loan products, primarily during the first quarter of 2002.  Management did moderate its pricing of the Bank’s adjustable rate products in April of this year which resulted in growth of the residential real estate portfolio during the last two months of the second quarter.  With the recent decline in long-term market interest rates, however, management is uncertain if this growth will continue in the near-term as the potential for refinancings of the Bank’s existing portfolio loans increases as long-term market rates trend lower.

 

23



 

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million during the first six months of 2002, compared to $1.6 million during the first six months of 2001.    Included in the provision for loan losses were $55,000 and $1.1 million for Refund Anticipation Loans (RAL’s) during the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  The substantial decrease in losses associated with RAL’s during the first six months of 2002 was primarily the result of a significant reduction of errors in information received from government entities which is used to underwrite RAL’s.  The Company also received better than expected cross-collection of prior year losses.  This is largely due to the unusually high charge-offs experienced during 2001, that in turn led to increased recovery opportunities during the 2002 tax season.

 

The total allowance for loan losses increased $558,000 to $9.2 million from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002.  The allowance for loan losses was increased due to the steady growth in commercial real estate lending, an overall change in the product mix within the loan portfolio, and in order 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, 2002 and continues to monitor the commercial real estate loan portfolio closely, recognizing that commercial real estate loans generally carry a greater risk of loss than residential real estate loans.  Management believes that it provided an adequate component within the allowance for all loans.

 

Republic recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2002 due primarily to an unexpectedly low loss experience on refund anticipation loans originated during the 2002 tax season. The provision consisted of a negative $38,000 associated with all loans except RAL’s, and a negative $1.4 million from RAL’s.  RAL’s are short duration loans and actual loss history for the year’s activity is substantially known by the end of the second quarter. Based on loss experience since the end of the first quarter, it appears that the final loss for the 2002 tax season will be $55,000. This is the best result in the program’s history.  Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2002, Republic reversed a significant portion of the amounts previously provided.  Management does not believe, however, that this low loss rate can be sustained in future periods and expects a loss rate in 2003 closer to historical percentages.

 

Republic provides for losses on RAL’s at the time such loans are originated since the factors that most frequently cause a loss, such as failure to properly identify a prior superior claim to taxpayer refunds, information error by taxing authorities, taxpayer fraud, or tax preparer processing errors, occur at that time. Substantially all RAL’s are originated during the first quarter.  For the 2002 tax season Republic provided for losses at a rate of 1.25% of RAL’s originated, based on a 2001 loss experience rate of 1.15%, but actually incurred a loss rate of 0.44% in 2002, exclusive of prior year’s recoveries.

Deposits.  Total deposits were $975 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $866 million at December 31, 2001.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $23 million since December 31, 2001 to $152 million. This increase is related to management’s continued focus on gathering lower cost funds through the Company’s free checking promotions and Cash Management services.

 

The Bank’s interest-bearing demand accounts, primarily NOW and money markets, increased $83 million during the first six months of 2002 as the Company heavily promoted these products through increased advertising and premium rate offerings.  The Company also had an increase in jumbo certificates of deposit during 2002 as this product was heavily promoted in the banking centers and through Internet banking at various times throughout the first half of the year. Management believes that with the recent out of state acquisition of two larger Kentucky competitors, the Company has a unique opportunity to attract new clients to the Bank and increase market share through these and other premium product offerings.

 

Money market certificates of deposit decreased $60 million during the first six months of 2002 as many clients began moving their funds into the Bank’s promotional products mentioned in the previous paragraph due primarily to the premium rates offered.

 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $115 million.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase declined primarily due to decreases in a small number of the Company’s larger cash management accounts.  These accounts are subject to large periodic changes in balances; however, the Company continues to maintain positive banking relationships with each of these clients.

 

25



 

Other borrowed funds. Other borrowed funds consists primarily of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.   These borrowings were increased by $26 million at the end of the second quarter to meet short-term liquidity needs.

Approximately $142 million of these advances are fixed with original maturities ranging from 2 to 5 years. Of these fixed rate advances $30 million is scheduled to mature in August 2002 with a coupon of 6.96% and $60 million is scheduled to mature in January 2003 with a coupon of 5.88%.  Management will determine whether these advances will be refinanced or retired with excess cash at their maturities based on market conditions and the Bank’s needs at that time.

 

The remaining $140 million in borrowings consists of convertible advances with original fixed-rate periods ranging from one to five years and original maturities ranging from three 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.  The Company has $50 million in these advances that are currently eligible to be converted.  Based on market conditions at this time, management does not believe these advances are likely to be converted in the near-term.   (See footnote 6 regarding other borrowed funds.)

 

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.  At June 30, 2002, Republic had $128,000 in consumer loans 90 days or more past due compared to $89,000 at December 31, 2001.

 

The Bank’s level of delinquent loans decreased to 1.18% at June 30, 2002, down from 1.73% at December 31, 2001.  The improvement is primarily attributable to a small number of commercial real estate loans, past due at December 31, 2001, brought current as of June 30, 2002.  Republic experienced an increase in total non-performing loans from $5.6 million at December 31, 2001 to $9.8 million at June 30, 2002.  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.

 

The increase in loans past due 90 days or more was largely attributable to two large commercial real estate relationships, which management deems to be more than adequately secured.  Other real estate owned  (OREO) increased from $149,000 at December 31, 2001 to $482,000 at June 30, 2002.  The increase in OREO is primarily attributable to one commercial real estate property, which as of June 30, 2002 was under contract for sale for an amount in excess of the Bank’s carrying value of the asset.

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).  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 may not be collected.  Impaired loans, which are a component of loans on non-accrual status, decreased from $104,000 at December 31, 2001 to $0 at June 30, 2002.

 

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 from the available-for-sale portion of the securities portfolio and paydowns from the loan portfolio.  Republic’s banking centers and republicbank.com also provide access to retail deposit markets.  Traditionally, the Bank has utilized borrowings from the FHLB to supplement its funding requirements.  At June 30, 2002, the Bank had utilized substantially all of its borrowing capacity with the FHLB.  The Bank has traditionally grown deposits through its retail banking centers and republicbank.com.  These retail deposits, if offered at attractive market rates, have historically been a source of funding when needed.  While Republic utilizes numerous funding sources in order to meet liquidity requirements, the Bank also has an additional $40 million available through approved unsecured line of credit facilities.  (See Note 6 regarding other borrowed funds for additional information on available credit lines).

 

CAPITAL

 

Total stockholders’ equity increased from $125 million at December 31, 2001 to $143 million at June 30, 2002. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to net income during the first six months of 2002 and stock options exercised by Republic’s employees.  Stockholders’ equity also increased $5.1 million as a result of the conversion of the Company’s guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in Republic’s subordinated debentures, which was already included as a component of capital for regulatory purposes, into Class A Common stock. (For further discussion of the Company’s guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in Republic’s subordinated debentures see Note 8 of this report.)

 

Republic’s board of directors approved a Class A share repurchase program of 500,000 shares during 1998 and 1999.  Under the repurchase program, Republic repurchased approximately 456,000 shares prior to 2002 with a weighted average cost of $10.09, and a total cost of $4.6 million.  No shares have been repurchased in 2002.  Republic is authorized to buy back an additional 44,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under the current program as of June 30, 2002.

 

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.  Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements, in part, dependent on the individual risk profiles of financial institutions.  Republic’s average capital to average assets ratio was 8.43% at June 30, 2002 compared to 7.96% at December 31, 2001.

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 year’s 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, 2002, Republic Bank & Trust Company had approximately $21 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 for a period of three years.

 

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 Republic’s 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 Republic’s deposit rates and 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 model’s 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.

Republic’s interest sensitivity profile changed slightly from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002.  Given a sustained 100 basis point downward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, Republic’s base net interest income would decrease by an estimated 1.68% at June 30, 2002 compared to a decrease of 1.22% at December 31, 2001.  Given a 100 basis point increase in the yield curve Republic’s base net interest income would decrease by an estimated 2.70% at June 30, 2002 compared to a decrease of 2.41% at December 31, 2001.

 

Historically, Republic’s net interest margin declined in a rising interest rate environment.  While this fact remains, the Company greatly improved its risk position from rising interest rates by extending advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank starting in 2001.  The Company has generally maintained this improved risk position through the first six months of 2002.  In a declining interest rate environment, the Company has traditionally benefited in net interest income.  Given the current low level of market interest rates, however, the Company may not experience a corresponding improvement in net interest income from a further decline in market interest rates as the interest paid on selected deposit products may not be subject to further reductions.

 

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.  Table 7 is representative only and is not a precise measurement of the effect of changing interest rates on Republic’s net interest income in the future.
