NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2010

1.	The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q, and accordingly do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial information included in this report reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2010 and the results of operations for the six month periods ending June 30, 2010 and 2009. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. We have evaluated all subsequent events through August 7, 2010, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
2.	Use of Estimates
	To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, our management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, foreclosed properties, mortgage servicing rights, income tax expense and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.
3.	Earnings Per Share
	Diluted earnings per share, which reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised and stock awards were fully vested and resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in our earnings, is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents. The following table shows the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per share:

EARNINGS PER SHARE
(Dollar amounts in thousands, excluding per share data)

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2010			2009			2010			2009

(Denominator):
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding-basic		7,911,539			7,911,539			7,911,539			7,911,539
Dilutive effect of stock options		—	(1)		—	(1)		—	(1)		—	(1)
Dilutive effect of convertible promissory notes		—	(2)					—	(2)
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding-diluted		7,911,539			7,911,539			7,911,539			7,911,539
Basic Earnings Per Share	$	0.17		$	0.07		$	0.27		$	0.36
Diluted Earnings Per Share	$	0.17		$	0.07		$	0.27		$	0.36

⁽¹⁾ At June 30, 2010 and 2009, there were 49,628 and 73,628 outstanding stock options, respectively, which are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are considered anti-dilutive.

⁽²⁾As of June 30, 2010 the Company had $9.45 million of outstanding Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) whose offering expired on April 30, 2010. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each $5.00 in aggregate principal amount held on the record date of the conversion. On October 1, 2014, one-half of the original principal amounts are mandatorily convertible at the conversion ratio if conversion has not occurred. The mandatorily convertible principal of the Convertible Notes represents 945,000 shares, which are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are considered anti-dilutive. In addition, there are 945,000 shares that are convertible at the discretion of the note holder. These shares have not been included because of their anti-dilutive effect, if converted.

4.	Adoption of New Accounting Standards
	In November 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 860-10,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASC 860-10 eliminates the concept of “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. ASC 860-10 also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets, including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The amendment to ASC 860-10 became effective January 1, 2010 and did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment toASC 810-10,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,to change how an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s economic performance. ASC 810-10 requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes to risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The amendment to ASC 810-10 became effective January 1, 2010 and did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2010, the FASB issues ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance For Credit Losses.The objective of this guidance is for an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate the evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for doubtful accounts and, the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. To achieve those objectives disclosures on a disaggregated basis shall be provided on two defined levels: (1) portfolio segment; and (2) class of financing receivable. This guidance makes changes to existing disclosure requirements and includes additional disclosure requirements relating to financing receivables. The guidance pertaining to disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods on or after December 15, 2010. The guidance pertaining to disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The provisions of this guidance are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

5.	Fair Value
	Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1:	Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
	Level 2:	Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
	Level 3:	Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
	The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).
	The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. These assumptions include servicing costs, expected loan lives, discount rates, and the determination of whether the loan is likely to be refinanced. We compare the valuation model inputs and results to widely available published industry data for reasonableness (Level 2 inputs).
	The fair value of foreclosed properties is determined using a variety of market information including but not limited to appraisals, professional market assessments and real estate tax assessment information (Level 2 inputs).
	The fair value of impaired loans is based on a review of comparable collateral in similar marketplaces or an analysis of expected cash flows of the loan in relationship to the contractual terms of the loan (Level 3 inputs).

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

(b) Securities Available for Sale

Fair values for securities available for sale are based on market prices or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

(c) Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of loans held for sale is based on actual market quotes from third party investors.

(d) Loans, net

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently, fair values are based on carrying value. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is measured based on the value of the underlying collateral securing those loans less the cost of sale. This evaluation may include obtaining supplemental market data and/or routine site visits to offer support to the valuation process.

(e)Cash Value of Life Insurance

The fair value of life insurance approximates the carrying amount, because upon liquidation of these investments, we would receive the cash surrender value which equals the carrying amount.

(f) Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. No secondary market exists for FHLB stock. The stock is bought and sold at par by the FHLB. Management believes that the recorded value is fair value.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value.

(h) Deposits

The carrying amount of demand deposits (interest bearing and non-interest bearing), savings deposits, and money market deposits approximate fair value. The carrying amount of variable rate time deposits, including certificates of deposit, approximate fair value. For fixed rate time deposits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market interest rates.

June 30, 2010

(i) Repurchase Agreements

The carrying amount of repurchase agreements approximates fair value.

(j) Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The carrying amount of variable rate FHLB advances approximates fair value. For fixed rate advances, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market interest rates.

(k) Subordinated Debentures

The carrying amount of variable rate subordinated debentures approximates fair value.

(l) Convertible promissory notes

The carrying amount of fixed rate convertible promissory notes approximates fair value based on the issuance value.

(m) Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

(n) Off Balance Sheet Credit Related Items-Letters of Credit

The carrying amount of the off balance sheet letters of credit approximates fair value based on management’s evaluation of the factors affecting the letters of credit.

Equity Investment

Baylake Bank owns a 46.4% interest (500 shares) in United Financial Services, Inc., (“UFS”) a data processing service. In addition to the ownership interest, we have a common Board member with UFS on our respective Boards of Directors. The investment in this entity is carried under the equity method of accounting and the pro rata share of its income is included in other income. On June 27, 2006, UFS amended an earlier employment agreement with one of its key employees allowing that individual the option to purchase up to 20%, or 240 shares, of the authorized shares of UFS. The option price is $1,000 per share, less dividends or distributions to owners. The current book value of UFS is approximately $8,100 per share as of June 30, 2010. During 2007, options for 120 shares were exercised by the key employee. In May 2010, options for the remaining shares were exercised by the key employee at $1,000 per share less the dividends previously paid to the owners. Upon exercise, 43.24 shares were immediately redeemed and sold back to UFS. The net result was a reduction of 3.4% in our investment in UFS and a recognition of goodwill of $191,000 upon redemption of the shares. There are no remaining options to be exercised. Any future sale of shares by the key employee will have an effect of further reducing our investment in UFS.

7.	Allowance For Loan Losses (“ALL”)
	The ALL represents management’s estimate of probable and inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the ALL requires the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of other qualitative factors such as current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset on our consolidated balance sheet. Loan losses are charged off against the ALL, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the ALL. A provision for loan losses (“PFLL”) is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.
	The ALL consists of specific reserves on certain impaired loans and general reserves for non-impaired loans. Specific reserves reflect estimated losses on impaired loans from analyses developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans. The specific credit allocations are based on regular analyses of all impaired non-homogenous loans. These analyses involve a high degree of judgment in estimating the amount of loss associated with specific loans, including estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values. The general reserve is based on our historical loss experience which is updated quarterly. The general reserve of the ALL also includes consideration of certain qualitative factors such as concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.
	There are many factors affecting the ALL; some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. The process for determining the ALL (which management believes adequately considers potential factors which might possibly result in credit losses) includes subjective elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional PFLL could be required that could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods. Allocations of the ALL may be made for specific loans but the entire ALL is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off or for which an actual loss is realized.
	Changes in the ALL were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

8.	Promissory Notes
	During the third and fourth quarters of 2009 and the first and second quarters of 2010, the Company completed seven separate closings of a private placement of 10% Convertible Notes due June 30, 2017 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated there under. The Company issued $9.45 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes, at par, and received gross proceeds in the same amount. The offering expired on April 30, 2010.
	The Convertible Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum upon issuance and until maturity or earlier conversion or redemption. Interest is payable quarterly, in arrears, on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each $5.00 in aggregate principal amount held on the record date of the conversion, subject to certain adjustments as described in the Convertible Notes. Prior to October 1, 2014, each holder of the Convertible Notes may convert up to 100% (at the discretion of the holder) of the original principal amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion ratio. On October 1, 2014, one-half of the original principal amounts are mandatorily convertible into common stock at the conversion ratio if voluntary conversion has not occurred. The principal amount, along with accrued but unpaid interest, of any Convertible Note that has not been converted will be payable at maturity on June 30, 2017. The Company is not obligated to register the common stock issued on the conversion of the Convertible Notes.
	During 2009 and 2010 the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.18 million. These costs were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the initial conversion term, which ends October 1, 2014.

At June 30, 2010, the Company held six securities with continuous unrealized losses for twelve months or more. The obligations of states and political subdivisions category comprised of two securities, the private placement and corporate bond category comprised three securities, and the mortgage-backed securities category comprised one security.

At December 31, 2009, the Company held seven securities with continuous unrealized losses for twelve months or more. The obligations of states and political subdivisions category comprised one security, the private placement and corporate bond category comprised five securities, and the mortgage-backed securities category comprised one security.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. As part of such monitoring, the credit quality of individual securities and their issuers are assessed. Adjustments to market value that are considered temporary are recorded as a separate component of equity, net of tax. If an impairment of a security is identified as other-than-temporary based on information available, such as the decline in the creditworthiness of the issuer, external market ratings or the anticipated or realized elimination of associated dividends, such impairments are further analyzed to determine if a credit loss exists. If there is a credit loss, it will be recorded in the statement of operations. Losses other than credit will continue to be recognized in other comprehensive income. Unrealized losses reflected in the preceding tables have not been included in results of operations because the unrealized loss was not deemed other-than-temporary. Management has determined that more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery and therefore, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. The losses on these securities are expected to dissipate as they approach their maturity dates and/or if interest rates decline.

12. Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this guidance, deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that will apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax estimation presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

We regularly review the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to various positive and negative factors that could affect the realization of the deferred tax assets.

In evaluating this available evidence, management considers, among other things, historical financial performance, expectation of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earning trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. Our evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as management’s expectations of future performance.

We are is subject to the income tax laws of the U.S., our states and municipalities. These tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant Governmental taxing authorities. On January 1, 2008, we adopted accounting guidance related to uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under the guidance, tax positions shall initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon the examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The guidance also revises disclosure requirements to include an annual tabular roll forward of unrecognized tax benefits. In establishing a provision for income tax expense, we must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws within the framework of existing U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Baylake Corp. is a Wisconsin corporation that is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”) as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Our wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Baylake Bank, is a Wisconsin state-chartered bank that provides a wide variety of loan, deposit and other banking products and services to its business, retail, and municipal customers, as well as a full range of trust, investment and cash management services. Baylake Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.

The following sets forth management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. This discussion and analysis should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Part I of this Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) into law. This legislation makes extensive changes to the laws regulating financial services firms and requires significant rule-making. In addition, the legislation mandates multiple studies, which could result in additional legislative or regulatory action. While the full effects of the legislation on us and Baylake Bank cannot yet be determined, this legislation is generally perceived as negatively impacting the banking industry. This legislation may result in higher compliance and other costs, reduced revenues and higher capital and liquidity requirements, among other things, which could adversely affect our business and the business of Baylake Bank.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the course of our normal business activity, management must select and apply many accounting policies and methodologies that lead to the financial results presented in our consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of what management believes are our critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset on our consolidated balance sheet. The ALL on our consolidated balance sheet represents management’s estimate of probable and inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio. Establishing the amount of the ALL requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and qualitative factors such as consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant changes. Loan losses are charged off against the ALL, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the ALL.

The ALL consists of specific reserves on impaired loans, general reserves on pools of homogeneous loans and a general portfolio allocation based on qualitative factors such as economic conditions and other factors specific to the markets in which we operate. The reserve component of the ALL on specific loans reflects expected losses based on analyses of impaired loans over a fixed dollar amount. These analyses involve a high degree of judgment in estimating the amount of loss associated with specific loans, including estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values. The reserve component on homogeneous pools of loans is based on our historical loss experience, which is updated quarterly. This component of the ALL also includes consideration of qualitative factors such as concentration changes in portfolio mix and volume and other qualitative factors. The unallocated component represents the portion of the ALL not specifically identified with specific loans or pools of loans. Allocations of the ALL may be made for specific loans, but the entire ALL is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off for which a loss is realized.

A PFLL is charged to earnings based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors. To the extent actual results differ from management estimates, an additional PFLL could be required that could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods. In addition, management continues to refine the estimation process. Changes in the estimation process could also result in an additional provision for loan losses being recorded. Changes may also be required when our estimates are inconsistent with our regulator’s estimates.

Foreclosed Properties:

Foreclosed properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at lower of cost or fair value when acquired less estimated costs to sell, thereby establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Any costs incurred with respect to such assets after acquisition are expensed as incurred.

Provision for Impairment of Standby Letters of Credit:

The provision for impairment of standby letters of credit represents management’s estimate of probable incurred losses on off-balance sheet standby letters of credit which are used to support our customers’ business arrangements with an unrelated third party. In the event of impairment, a provision for impairment of standby letters of credit is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors affecting the standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2010, the allowance for impairment of standby letters of credit was $0.05 million.

Income Tax Accounting:

The assessment of tax assets and liabilities involves the use of estimates, assumptions, interpretations and judgments concerning certain accounting pronouncements and federal and state tax codes. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or positions of federal and state taxing authorities, will not differ from management’s current assessment, the impact of which could be significant to our consolidated results of operations and reported earnings. We believe that the tax assets and liabilities are adequate and properly recorded in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2010.

Goodwill:

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis or more frequently if deemed appropriate. For 2009, consideration of impairment was given due to the market value of our stock. However, we hired a firm specialized in rendering valuation opinions for banks and bank holding companies nationwide. In rendering their opinion as to our fair value, they considered our nature and history, the competitive and economic outlook for the trade area and for the banking industry in general, our book value and financial condition, our future earnings and dividend paying capacity, the size of the block valued, and the prevailing market prices of bank stocks. The following valuation methodologies were considered: 1) net asset value – defined as our net worth, 2) market value – defined as the price at which knowledgeable buyers and sellers would agree to buy and sell our common stock, and 3) investment value – defined as an estimate of the present value of the future benefits, usually earnings, cash flow, or dividends, that will accrue to our common stock. When consideration was given to the three valuation methodologies, as well as all other relevant valuation variables and factors, the fully-diluted cash fair value range of our common shares was deemed to be in excess of the book value and therefore, no impairment was recognized.

Non-interest expense divided by the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding net investment securities gains and excluding net gains on the sale of fixed assets. A lower ratio indicates greater efficiency.

Net income of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased from net income of $0.5 million for the comparable period in 2009. Net interest income increased $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 versus the comparable quarter last year resulting from a $1.5 million reduction in interest expense partially offset by a $0.1 million reduction in interest income. A PFLL of $1.2 million was charged to earnings for the second quarter of 2010, which is consistent with the $1.2 million PFLL taken during the comparable quarter of 2009. Non-interest expense declined $0.3 million, which was slightly offset by a $0.1 million decrease in non-interest income in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the similar period in 2009. Refer to the “Net Interest Income,” “Provision for Loan Losses,” “Non-Interest Expense” and “Non-Interest Income” sections below for additional details.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the largest component of our operating income and represents the difference between interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets offset by the interest expense attributable to the deposits and borrowings that fund such assets. Interest rate fluctuations, together with changes in the volume and types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, combine to affect total net interest income. This analysis discusses net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis in order to provide comparability among the various types of earned interest income. Tax-exempt interest income is adjusted to a level that reflects such income as if it were fully taxable.

Average interest rates on loans increased while average yields on deposits decreased during the first and second quarters of 2010 compared to the similar periods in 2009. Average yields on interest-earning assets increased to 5.12% during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to 5.01% during the same period in 2009.

Interest rate spread is the difference between the interest rate earned on average interest-earning assets and the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate spread increased 73 bps to 3.58% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, resulting primarily from an 11 bps increase in the yield on interest-earning assets from 5.01% to 5.12% and a 62 bps decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 2.16% to 1.54%. We continue to be positively impacted by the interest rate floors on a large number of loans on our balance sheet, which has resulted in the recognition of additional interest income that would not have been recognized had the floors not existed.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2009. The increase for the second quarter of 2010 resulted primarily from a decrease in funding costs on liabilities attributable to both a decline in interest rates and a reduction in average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on loans, due to a reduction in average loans. Contributing to the improved net interest income was a $9.7 million increase in average non-interest bearing demand deposits, from $65.8 million during the second quarter of 2009 to $75.5 million for the similar period in 2010.

Net interest margin represents net interest income expressed as an annualized percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin exceeds the interest rate spread because of the use of non-interest bearing sources of funds (demand deposits and equity capital) to fund a portion of earning assets. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 3.68%, up 71 bps from 2.97% for the comparable period in 2009.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, average interest-earning assets decreased $29.5 million (3.1%) from the same period in 2009. Decreases in average loans of $67.9 million (9.5%) and in federal funds sold and interest-bearing due from banks of $5.6 million (11.9%) were partially offset by a $44.0 million (29.2%) increase in taxable securities.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $14.8 million for the same period in 2009. The $1.6 million increase reflected a decrease in funding costs of $3.0 million partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $1.4 million, each reflecting the continued decline in prevailing interest rates. Contributing to the improved net interest income was an $8.0 million increase in average non-interest bearing demand deposits from $65.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $73.7 million for the similar period in 2010.

Net interest margin for the six months ending June 30, 2010 was 3.57%, up 47 bps from 3.10% for the comparable period in 2009.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, average interest-earning assets decreased $36.8 million (3.8%) from the same period in 2009. Decreases in average loans of $73.1 million (10.2%) and in average tax-exempt securities of $7.8 million (17.1%) were offset in part by a $19.5 million (57.7%) increase in federal funds sold and interest-bearing due from banks and a $24.6 million (15.1%) increase in taxable securities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The ALL consists of specific and general reserves. The PFLL is the cost of providing an allowance for probable and inherent losses in our loan portfolio. Our internal risk system is used to identify loans that meet the criteria for being “impaired” as defined by accounting guidance. Specific reserves relate to loans that are individually classified as impaired. Loans identified as impaired are evaluated for impairment using either the discounted expected cash flows or collateral value less estimated costs to sell and assigned a specific reserve based upon that analysis. The general reserve covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative factors include: 1) changes in the nature, volume and terms of loans, 2) changes in lending personnel, 3) changes in the quality of the loan review function, 4) changes in nature and volume of past-due, non-accrual and/or classified loans, 5) changes in concentration of credit risk, 6) changes in economic and industry conditions, 7) changes in legal and regulatory requirements, 8) unemployment and inflation statistics, and 9) changes in underlying collateral values.

The PFLL for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $1.3 million compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2009. New impairments of $0.9 million on loans not previously identified, with associated loan balances of $5.8 million, were recorded during the second quarter of 2010. Of that $5.8 million total, $5.4 million relates to one credit relationship. In addition, a provision of $0.4 million relating to our historical loss component and a net increase in other impairment changes of $0.3 million were recorded during the quarter. This was partially offset by net recoveries of $0.1 million and a net decrease of $0.2 million in general reserves.

Net loan charge-offs for the first six months of 2010 were $0.4 million compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2009. Net annualized charge-offs to average loans were 0.14% for the first six months of 2010 compared to 0.82% for the same period in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, non-performing loans decreased by $2.9 million (10.9%) to $23.7 million from $26.6 million at December 31, 2009 and $27.9 million (54.1%) from $51.6 million at June 30, 2009. Refer to the “Financial Condition - Risk Management and the Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Financial Condition - Non-Performing Loans, Potential Problem Loans and Other Real Estate” sections below for more information related to non-performing loans.

29

Our management believes that the ALL at June 30, 2010 and the related PFLL charged to earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is appropriate in view of the present condition of the loan portfolio and the amount and quality of the collateral supporting non-performing loans. We continue to monitor non-performing loan relationships and will make additional provisions, as necessary, if the facts and circumstances change. In addition, a decline in the quality of our loan portfolio as a result of general economic conditions, factors affecting particular borrowers or our market area, or otherwise, could affect the adequacy of the ALL. If there are significant charge-offs against the ALL, or we otherwise determine that the ALL is inadequate, we will need to make additional PFLLs in the future. See “Financial Condition - Risk Management and the Allowance for Loan Losses” below for more information related to non-performing loans.

Non-Interest Income

Total Non Interest Income	$	2,474		$	2,593			(4.6	%)	$	4,486	$	7,130			(37.1	%)

Non-interest income decreased $0.1 million (4.6%) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus the comparable period in 2009. This was primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in cash surrender value of life insurance, a $0.2 million decrease in net gains from sales of loans due to reduced secondary mortgage originations, and a $0.1 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, including overdraft charges. The decline was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in net gains from sale of securities and a $0.1 million increase in fees from fiduciary activities due to increased trust fees and estate business.

Non-interest income decreased $2.6 million (37.1%) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus the comparable period in 2009. This was primarily due to $2.9 million of net securities gains realized for the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus $0.4 million in securities gains for the first six months of 2010. Also impacting the decrease was a $0.2 decline in net gain on sale of loans due to reduced secondary mortgage market originations on one-to-four family loans, and a $0.2 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts. This was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in fiduciary services income due to increased trust fees and estate business and a $0.2 million increase in mortgage servicing rights valuation primarily due to an increase in mortgage servicing multiples.

Total non-interest expense decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The non-interest expense to average assets ratio was 2.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 3.0% for the same period in 2009.

Net overhead expense is total non-interest expense less total non-interest income excluding securities gains. The net overhead expense to average assets ratio remained unchanged at 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The efficiency ratio represents total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net-interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and total non-interest income (excluding net gains on the sale of securities and premises and equipment). A lower efficiency ratio indicates a more efficient operation. The efficiency ratio decreased to 71.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 85.2% for the comparable period last year. This is primarily due to an increase of $1.4 million in tax equivalent net interest income and a $0.3 million reduction in non-interest expense. Partially offsetting the increase was a $0.4 million reduction in non-interest income.

The decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $0.3 million (7.5%) to $3.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 reflects the fact that the number of full-time equivalent employees decreased from 304 as of June 30, 2009 to 298 as of June 30, 2010. Other reasons for the decline include a $0.2 million reduction in employee benefit expense due to reduced FTEs, and a $0.1 million reduction in mortgage commission expense due to reduced mortgage originations. During the second quarter of 2009, $0.3 million of self funding for health insurance was reversed because of excess funding related to the 2008 claims year. This did not recur in 2010.

Expenses related to the operation of foreclosed properties held for sale by the Bank increased $0.3 million to $0.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2009. The increase consists of a $0.2 million increase in write-downs due to the re-evaluations of properties held and a $0.1 million increase in operating expenses to maintain the properties. We intend to continue to evaluate all foreclosed property values and attempt to reduce the holding periods of these properties and, as a result, the related holding costs, to the extent possible. Such expenses include but are not limited to insurance, maintenance, real estate taxes, management fees, utilities and legal fees.

Included in non-interest expense are FDIC insurance premiums of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.0 million for the same period a year ago. Included in the second quarter of 2009 is a $0.5 million (5 basis point) special assessment imposed by the FDIC to assist in replenishing the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). FDIC insurance premiums consist of two components, deposit insurance premiums and payments for servicing obligations of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) that were issued in connection with the resolution of savings and loan associations. With the enactment in early 2006 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, major changes were introduced in the calculation of FDIC deposit insurance premiums. Such changes were effective January 1, 2007 and included establishment by the FDIC of a target reserve ratio range for the DIF of between 1.15% and 1.50%, as opposed to the prior fixed reserve ratio of 1.25%. At the same time, the FDIC adopted a new risk-based system for assessment of deposit insurance premiums under which all such institutions are required to pay minimum annual premiums. The system categorizes institutions in one of four risk categories, depending on capitalization and supervisory rating criteria. Baylake Bank’s assessment rate, like that of other financial institutions, is confidential and may not be directly disclosed, except to the extent required by law. Payments for the FICO portion will continue as long as FICO obligations remain outstanding. In February 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule modifying the risk-based assessment system and setting initial base assessment rates beginning April 1, 2009 at 12 bps to 45 bps. On November 12, 2009, the Board of Directors of the FDIC adopted a rule that required insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC Board also voted to adopt a uniform 3 bps increase in assessment rates effective January 1, 2011. We were required to prepay approximately $6.7 million in premiums in December 2009, which premiums will not be taken as a charge against our operations until the period for which they apply.

Legal and professional fees decreased $0.1 million (43.0%) to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This is primarily due to reducing our outsourced legal services in 2010.

Total non-interest expense remained unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The non-interest expense to average assets ratio was 3.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2.9% for the same period in 2009.

Net overhead expense is total non-interest expense less total non-interest income excluding securities gains. The net overhead expense to average assets ratio increased to 2.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2.1% for the same period in 2009. The efficiency ratio represents total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net-interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and total non-interest income (excluding net gains on the sale of securities and premises and equipment). A lower efficiency ratio indicates a more efficient operation. The efficiency ratio decreased to 74.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from 80.1% for the comparable period last year. This is primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in tax equivalent net interest income.

The decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $0.2 million (2.7%) to $7.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 reflects the fact that the number of full-time equivalent employees decreased from 304 as of June 30, 2009 to 298 as of June 30, 2010. Other reasons for the decline include a decline of $0.2 million in salary expense reflecting a decline in the number of FTEs, and a reduction in mortgage commission expense of $0.1 million due to a decrease in mortgage originations. Partially offsetting the decline was a $0.1 million increase in employee benefit expense. During the second quarter of 2009, $0.3 million of self funding for health insurance was reversed because of excess funding related to the 2008 claims year. Also, our discretionary year-end contribution to our employees’ 401K was eliminated effective January 1, 2009, and the 5% employer match to the 401K was eliminated effective April 1, 2009, thus reducing 401K expense by $0.2 million when comparing the six-month periods.

Expenses related to the operation of foreclosed properties held for sale by the Bank increased $0.6 million to $0.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2009. The increase consists of a $0.3 million increase in write-downs due to the re-evaluations of properties held and a $0.2 million increase in operating expenses to maintain the properties. We continue to evaluate all foreclosed property values and attempt to reduce the holding periods of these properties and, as a result, the related holding costs, to the extent possible. Such expenses include but are not limited to insurance, maintenance, real estate taxes, management fees, utilities and legal fees.

Included in non-interest expenses are FDIC insurance premiums of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.4 million for the same period a year ago. Included in 2009 is $0.5 million related to a 5 basis point special assessment imposed by the FDIC in the second quarter of 2009 to assist in replenishing the DIF.

Legal and professional fees decreased $0.3 million (43.1%) to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This is primarily due to reduced outsourcing of legal services in 2010.

Director fees at June 30, 2010 are $0.1 million lower than the six month period ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is due to the elimination of the chairman of the board fees beginning July 1, 2009, the voluntary election of the directors to reduce their board fees beginning April 1, 2009, and a reduction in the number of regional board meetings.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.6 million versus a tax benefit of $0.2 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in tax expense is attributable to a $1.6 million year-over-year increase in pre-tax income primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income.

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.7 million versus $0.9 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in tax expense is attributable largely to a $0.8 million year-to-year decrease in pre-tax income primarily due to a reduction of $2.5 million in gains from sale of securities. We maintain significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary tax differences, such as allowance for loan losses, non-accrual loan interest, and foreclosed property valuations as well as net operating loss carry forwards. Our determination of the amount of our deferred tax asset to be realized is highly subjective and is based on several factors, including projected future income, income tax planning strategies, and federal and state income tax rules and regulations. At June 30, 2010, we determined that no valuation allowance was required to be taken against our deferred tax asset other than a valuation allowance to reduce our state net operating loss carry forwards to an amount which we believe the benefit will more likely than not be realized. We continue to assess the amount of tax benefits we may realize.

Total gross loans at June 30, 2010 decreased $12.6 million (1.9%) from $651.9 million at December 31, 2009 to $639.3 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to reductions in commercial real estate and commercial, financial and agricultural loans. This is the result of the uncertainty in the economy, as we have focused on credit quality in loans we originate.

Risk Management and the Allowance for Loan Losses

The loan portfolio is our primary asset subject to credit risk. To address this credit risk, we maintain an ALL for probable and inherent credit losses through periodic charges to our earnings. These charges are shown in our consolidated statements of operations as PFLL. See “Provision for Loan Losses” earlier in this Report. We attempt to control, monitor and minimize credit risk through the use of prudent lending standards, a thorough review of potential borrowers prior to lending and ongoing and timely review of payment performance. Asset quality administration, including early identification of loans performing in a substandard manner, as well as timely and active resolution of problems, further enhances management of credit risk and minimization of loan losses. Any losses that occur and that are charged off against the ALL are periodically reviewed with specific efforts focused on achieving maximum recovery of both principal and interest.

On a quarterly basis, management reviews the adequacy of the ALL. The analysis of the ALL consists of three components: (i) specific reserves established for expected losses relating to impaired loans for which the recorded investment in the loans exceeds its fair value; (ii) general reserves based on historical loan loss experience for significant loan categories; and (iii) general reserves based on qualitative factors such as concentrations, and changes in portfolio mix and volume.

On a regular basis, loan officers review all commercial credit relationships. The loan officers grade commercial credits and the loan review function validates the grades assigned. In the event that a loan review function downgrades the loan, it is included in the ALL analysis process at the lower grade. This grading system is in compliance with regulatory classifications. At least quarterly, all commercial loans over a fixed dollar amount that have been deemed impaired are evaluated. In compliance with accounting guidance for impaired loans, the fair value of the loan is determined based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the market price of the loan or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral less the estimated costs to sell. This evaluation may include obtaining supplemental market data and/or routine site visits to offer support to the evaluation process. A specific reserve is then allocated to the loans based on this assessment. Specific reserves are reviewed by the Chief Credit Officer (“CCO “) and management familiar with the credits.

The ALL at June 30, 2010 was $11.5 million, compared to $9.6 million at year-end 2009. A PFLL of $2.3 million was charged to earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a $2.4 million PFLL recorded for the same period ended June 30, 2009.

During the second quarter of 2010, one credit relationship with exposure to the hospitality industry totaling $5.4 million experienced varying degrees of cash flow concerns. Prior to the second quarter of 2010, the relationship had been paying as agreed and did not appear to present any additional credit risk. A specific impairment of $0.7 million was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. We continue to monitor the relationship. In the event facts and circumstances change, additional provisions may be necessary.

We have two other major components of the ALL that do not pertain to specific loans: “General Reserves – Historical” and “General Reserves – Other.” We continue to use the same methodology of determining historical loss factors for the portfolio of loans to which there are no specific loss allocations. We determine General Reserves – Historical based on our historical recorded charge-offs of loans in particular categories, analyzed as a group. As it relates to the historical loss component, we reduced the historical loss look back period from 16 quarters to an average of between 8 and 12 quarters during the fourth quarter of 2009. This was primarily done to enable the model to provide a better reflection of the recent economic times. This resulted in increased allocations that we determined were appropriate. We determine General Reserves – Other by taking into account other factors, such as 1) changes in the nature, volume and terms of loans, 2) changes in lending personnel, 3) changes in the quality of the loan review function, 4) changes in nature and volume of past-due, non-accrual and/or classified loans, 5) changes in concentration of credit risk, 6) changes in economic and industry conditions, 7) changes in legal and regulatory requirements, 8) unemployment and inflation statistics, and 9) changes in underlying collateral values. By nature, our general reserve changes with our fluid lending environment and the overall economic environment in which we lend. As such, we are continually attempting to enhance this portion of the allocation process to reflect anticipated losses in our portfolio driven by these changing factors. During the first quarter of 2009, the general component of the analysis was modified to specifically identify the inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Expanded economic statistics, specifically unemployment and inflation rates for national, state and local markets, were factored into the allocation to address repayment risk. Further identification and management of portfolio concentration risks both by loan category and by specific markets were also enhanced and are reflected in the general allocation component. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the model was further enhanced to include more specific qualitative factors, as mentioned previously, by loan type.

Non-Performing Loans, Potential Problem Loans and Foreclosed Properties

Management encourages early identification of non-accrual and problem loans in order to minimize the risk of loss. Non-performing loans are defined as non-accrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due but still accruing, and loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring in the current year. Additionally, whenever management becomes aware of facts or circumstances that may adversely impact the collection of principal or interest on loans, it is the practice of management to place such loans on non-accrual status immediately rather than waiting until the loans become 90 days past due. The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest or earlier as deemed appropriate. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income is reversed. If collection is in doubt, cash receipts on non-accrual loans are used to reduce principal rather than recorded as interest income. Restructuring a loan typically involves the granting of some concession to the borrower involving a loan modification, such as payment schedule or interest rate changes. Restructured loans may involve loans that have had a charge-off taken against the loan to reduce the carrying amount of the loan to fair market value as determined pursuant to accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings.

(1) Restructured loans on accrual status were previously reported as nonperforming loans at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009

Non-performing loans increased $6.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010. A $5.4 million credit relationship in the hospitality industry moved to non-accrual status, accounting for a majority of the increase.

Non-performing loans decreased $2.9 million (10.8%) during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and decreased $27.9 million (54.1%) from June 30, 2009. The non-performing loan relationships are secured primarily by commercial or residential real estate and, secondarily, by personal guarantees from principals of the respective borrowers.

Investment Portfolio

The investment portfolio is intended to provide us with adequate liquidity, flexibility in asset/liability management and an increase in our earning potential.

At June 30, 2010, the investment portfolio (comprising investment securities available for sale) increased $21.6 million (10.5%) to $226.4 million compared to $204.8 million at December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010, the investment portfolio represented 21.7% of total assets compared to 19.6% at December 31, 2009.

36

We continue to closely monitor corporate trust preferred securities we hold in our investment portfolio included in the private placement and corporate bond totals. Total unrealized losses on these securities are $1.5 million at June 30, 2010, representing 51.6% of total gross unrealized securities losses. Based on an in-depth analysis of the specific instruments and the creditworthiness of the related issuers, including their ability to continue payments under the terms of the security agreements, no declines were deemed to be other-than-temporary. Additionally, we do not have the intent to sell the trust preferred securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery. If at any point in time any losses are considered other than temporary, we would be required to recognize other-than-temporary impairment. This would require us to assess the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. The difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis would result in a credit loss for the amount of the impairment. This amount would reduce our earnings. The remaining portion of the impairment related to factors other than credit loss would be recognized through other comprehensive income (loss). At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we did not hold securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

Deposits

Total deposits at June 30, 2010 decreased $8.8 million (1.1%) to $822.8 million from $831.6 million at December 31, 2009. Such decrease was a result of a decrease in our time deposits (excluding brokered time deposits) of $22.6 million (7.0%) from $324.1 million at December 31, 2009 to $301.5 million at June 30, 2010 and a $10.8 million (18.3%) decrease in our brokered deposits from $58.9 million at December 31, 2009 to $48.1 million at June 30, 2010, partially offset by an increase of $10.8 million (4.9%) in our demand deposits from $222.0 million at December 31, 2009 to $232.8 million at June 30, 2010 and a $13.8 million (6.1%) increase in our savings deposits from $226.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $240.4 million at June 30, 2010. Total interest-bearing deposits decreased $18.2 million (2.4%) while non-interest bearing deposits increased $9.4 million (11.6%) from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010.

Emphasis has been, and will continue to be, placed on generating additional core deposits in 2010 through competitive pricing of deposit products and through our existing branch delivery systems. We will also attempt to attract and retain core deposit accounts through new product offerings and quality customer service. We also may increase brokered certificates of deposit during the remainder of 2010 as an additional source of funds to support loan growth or other asset and liability needs in the event that core deposit growth goals are not achieved. Under that scenario, we will continue to look at other wholesale sources of funds if the brokered certificate of deposit market were to become illiquid or more costly. If liquidity concerns arise, we have alternative sources of funds such as lines of credit with correspondent banks and borrowing arrangements with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and through the discount window at the Federal Reserve.

Other Funding Sources

Securities under agreements to repurchase at June 30, 2010 increased $10.2 million (48.3%) to $31.3 million from $21.1 million at December 31, 2009. We did not have any federal funds purchased at either June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

FHLB advances were $75.0 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $85.0 million at December 31, 2009. We will borrow funds if borrowing is a less costly form of funding loans than acquiring deposits or if deposit growth is not sufficient. The availability of deposits also determines the amount of funds we need to borrow in order to fund loan demand.

Long Term Debt

In March 2006, we issued $16.1 million of variable rate, trust preferred securities and $0.5 million of trust common securities through Baylake Capital Trust II (the “Trust”) that adjust quarterly at a rate equal to 1.35% over the three month LIBOR. At June 30, 2010, the interest rate on these securities was 1.88%. These securities were issued to replace trust-preferred securities issued in 2001 through Baylake Capital Trust I. For bank regulatory purposes, these securities are considered Tier 1 capital.

The Trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon us making payment on the related subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) to the Trust. Under the terms of the Debentures, we would be precluded from paying dividends on our common stock if we were in default under the Debentures, if we exercised our right to defer payment of interest on the Debentures or if certain related defaults occurred. We are current on all payments.

37

During the third and fourth quarters of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, we completed six separate closings of a private placement of Convertible Notes. On April 30, 2010, we issued $2.8 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes, at par, and received gross proceeds in the same amount. The Convertible Notes were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated there under. The total amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding as of the date of this report is $9.45 million. The offering expired on April 30, 2010.

The Convertible Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum upon issuance and until maturity or earlier conversion or redemption. Interest is payable quarterly, in arrears, on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, of each year. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each $5.00 in aggregate principal amount held on the record date of the conversion subject to certain adjustments as described in the Convertible Notes. Prior to October 1, 2014, each holder of the Convertible Notes may convert up to 100% (at the discretion of the holder) of the original principal amount into shares of our common stock at the conversion ratio. On October 1, 2014, one-half of the original principal amounts are mandatorily convertible into common stock at the conversion ratio if voluntary conversion has not occurred. The principal amount of any Convertible Note that has not been converted will be payable at maturity on June 30, 2017. We are not obligated to register the common stock issued on the conversion of the Convertible Notes.

Contractual Obligations

We use a variety of financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for quantitative and qualitative disclosures about our fixed and determinable contractual obligations. Items disclosed in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed since that Report was filed.

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commitments at June 30, 2010:

Liquidity

Liquidity management refers to our ability to ensure that cash is available on a timely basis to meet loan demand and depositors’ needs, and to service other liabilities as they become due, without undue cost or risk, and without causing a disruption to normal operating activities. Baylake Corp. and Baylake Bank have different liquidity considerations.

Our primary sources of funds are dividends from Baylake Bank, investment income, and net proceeds from borrowings. We may also undertake offerings of debt and issue our common stock if and when we deem it prudent to do so. We generally manage our liquidity position in order to provide funds necessary to meet interest obligations of our trust preferred securities and convertible notes, pay dividends to our shareholders, subject to regulatory restrictions, and repurchase shares. Such restrictions, which govern all state chartered banks, preclude the payment of dividends without the prior written consent of the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions - Division of Banking (“WDFI”) if dividends declared and paid by such bank in either of the two immediately preceding years exceeded that bank’s net income for those years. In consultation with our federal and state regulators, our Board of Directors elected to forego the dividend to our shareholders beginning in the first quarter of 2008. In addition, in order to pay dividends in the future, we will need to seek prior approval from WDFI as well as the Federal Reserve Board. There is no assurance that we would receive such approval if sought.

Baylake Bank meets its cash flow needs by having funding sources available to satisfy the credit needs of customers as well as having available funds to satisfy deposit withdrawal requests. Liquidity is derived from deposit growth, payments on and maturities of loans, payments on and maturities of the investment portfolio, access to other funding sources, marketability of certain assets, the ability to use loan and investment portfolios as collateral for secured borrowings and a strong capital position.

Maturing investments have historically been a primary source of liquidity. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, principal payments totaling $47.5 million were received on investments. However, we purchased $92.1 million in investments in the same period. At June 30, 2010 the investment portfolio contained $101.9 million of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies, representing 45.0% of the total investment portfolio. These securities tend to be highly marketable.

Deposit decreases, reflected as a financing activity in the June 30, 2010 Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, resulted in $8.8 million of cash outflow during the first six months of 2010. Deposit growth is generally the most stable source of liquidity, although brokered deposits, which are inherently less stable than locally-generated core deposits, are sometimes used. Our reliance on brokered deposits decreased $10.8 million to $48.1 million during the six month period at June 30, 2010, versus $58.9 million at December 31, 2009. During the second quarter of 2010, we chose not to renew $13.0 million of brokered CDs that were maturing primarily because of our highly liquid position. If at any point in the future we fall below the “well capitalized” regulatory capital threshold, it will become more difficult for us to obtain brokered deposits in the future. Also affecting liquidity are core deposit growth levels, certificate of deposit maturity structure and retention, and characteristics and diversification of wholesale funding sources affecting the channels by which brokered deposits are acquired. Conversely, deposit outflow will cause a need to develop alternative sources of funds, which may not be as liquid and potentially a more costly alternative.

The scheduled payments and maturities of loans can provide a source of additional liquidity. There are $263.6 million, or 41.2% of total loans, maturing within one year of June 30, 2010. Factors affecting liquidity relative to loans are loan origination volumes, loan prepayment rates and the maturity structure of existing loans. The liquidity position is influenced by changes in interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Conversely, loan demand creates a need for liquidity that may cause us to acquire other sources of funding, some of which could be more difficult to find and more costly to secure.

Within the classification of short-term borrowings at June 30, 2010, securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $31.3 million compared to $21.1 million at the end of 2009. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are obtained from a base of business customers. Short-term and long-term borrowings from the FHLB are another source of funds, totaling $75.0 million at June 30, 2010 and $85.0 million at December 31, 2009.

39

We expect that deposit growth will be our primary source of liquidity on a long-term basis, along with a stable earnings base, the resulting cash generated by operating activities and a strong capital position. We expect deposit growth to be a reliable funding source in the future as a result of marketing efforts to attract and retain core deposits. In addition, we may acquire additional brokered deposits as funding for short-term liquidity needs. Short-term liquidity needs will also be addressed by growth in short-term borrowings, maturing federal funds sold and portfolio investments and loan maturities and prepayments.

In assessing liquidity, historical information such as seasonality, local economic cycles and the economy in general are considered along with our current financial position and projections. We believe that in the current economic environment our liquidity position is adequate. To our knowledge, there are no known trends nor any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result or are reasonably likely to result in material increases or decreases in our liquidity.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $78.2 million and $74.6 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of $3.6 million (4.8%) during the first six months of 2010. The increase in stockholders’ equity in the first half of 2010 was primarily related to our net income of $2.2 million and an increase in comprehensive income of $1.4 million (as a result of an increase in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities). The ratio of stockholders’ equity to assets was 7.5% and 7.1% at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

No cash dividends were declared during the first six months of 2010 or during all of 2009. Beginning in February 2008, our Board of Directors, in consultation with our federal and state bank regulators, elected to forego the payment of cash dividends on our common stock. We continue to monitor the payment of dividends in relationship to our financial position on a quarterly basis and our intention is to reinstate payment of dividends at the earliest appropriate opportunity, however there is no assurance if or when we will be able to do so or if we do, in what amounts. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to various factors including, among other things, sufficient earnings, available capital, board discretion and regulatory compliance.. In order to pay dividends, advance approval from the WDFI as well as the Federal Reserve Board will need to be obtained. There is no assurance that we would receive such approval if sought.

We regularly review the adequacy of our capital to ensure that sufficient capital is available for our current and future needs and is in compliance with regulatory guidelines. The assessment of overall capital adequacy depends upon a variety of factors, including asset quality, liquidity, stability of earnings, changing competitive forces, economic conditions in markets served and strength of management.

The Federal Reserve has established capital adequacy rules which take into account risk attributable to balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet activities. All banks and bank holding companies must meet a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8% of which at least half must comprise core capital elements defined as Tier 1 capital. The federal banking agencies also have adopted leverage capital guidelines which banks and bank holding companies must meet. Under these guidelines, the most highly rated banking organizations must meet a leverage ratio of at least 3% Tier 1 capital to assets, while lower rated banking organizations must maintain a minimum ratio of 4% or 5%, depending on the rating. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, as well as possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2010, we were in excess of the minimum capital ratios established for “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for the prompt corrective action categorization. There are no conditions or events since that date that we believe have changed our category. To be “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework, the Tier 1 capital ratio must meet or exceed 6%, the total capital ratio must meet or exceed 10% and the leverage ratio must meet or exceed 5%.

A strong capital position is necessary to take advantage of opportunities for profitable expansion of product and market share and to provide depositor and investor confidence. We believe our capital level is strong, but also must be maintained at an appropriate level to provide the opportunity for an adequate return on the capital employed. We actively review our capital strategies to ensure that capital levels are appropriate based on the perceived business risks, further growth opportunities, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that our earnings and capital will be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. Historically, we have not used derivatives to mitigate our interest rate risk.

Our earnings are derived from the operations of our direct and indirect subsidiaries with particular reliance on net interest income, calculated as the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, including advances from FHLB and other subordinated debentures. Like other financial institutions, our interest income and interest expense are affected by general economic conditions and by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. Changes in the economic environment may influence, among other matters, the growth rate of loans and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio and loan and deposit pricing. Fluctuations in interest rates are not predictable or controllable.

As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with our management policies with respect to interest rate risk. We have not experienced any material changes to our market risk position since December 31, 2009, as described in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

41

Our overall interest rate sensitivity is demonstrated by net interest income shock analysis which measures the change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis assesses the risk of change in net interest income in the event of sudden and sustained 100 bp to 200 bp increases and decreases in market interest rates. The table below presents our projected changes in net interest income for the various rate shock levels at June 30, 2010.

INTEREST SENSITIVITY
(Dollar amounts in thousands)

	Change in Net Interest Income over One Year Horizon
	At June 30, 2010					At December 31, 2009
Change in levels of interest rates	Dollar change		Percentage change			Dollar change		Percentage change
+200 bp	$	31,673		—	%	$	29,388		1.4	%
+100 bp		32,033		1.2	%		29,453		1.6	%
Base		31,657					28,990
-100 bp		31,350		(1.0	%)		29,132		0.5	%
-200 bp		30,513		(3.6	%)		28,110		(3.0	%)

As shown above, at June 30, 2010, the effect of an immediate 200 bp increase in interest rates would have increased our net interest income nominally. The effect of an immediate 200 bp reduction in rates would have decreased our net interest income by $1.1 million or 3.6%. However, a 200 bp reduction in rates is not realistic given the low interest rate environment that currently exists. An interest rate floor of zero is used rather than assuming a negative interest rate.

During the first six months of 2010, Baylake Bank lengthened slightly the duration of its liabilities by replacing brokered certificates of deposit with retail certificates of deposit. This effort has contributed to moderation of the liability sensitivity that was present at December 31, 2009.

Computations of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates and loan prepayments, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Actual values may differ from those projections set forth above, should market conditions vary from the assumptions used in preparing the analyses. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

Item 4T.Controls and Procedures

Disclosures Controls and Procedures:Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2010. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries may be involved from time to time in various routine legal proceedings incidental to our respective businesses. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries is currently engaged in any legal proceedings that are expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors since then.

Financial reforms and related regulations may affect our and Baylake Bank’s business activities, financial position and profitability.

The Dodd-Frank Act, signed into law on July 21, 2010, makes extensive changes to the laws regulating financial services firms and requires significant rulemaking. In addition, the legislation mandates multiple studies, which could result in additional legislative or regulatory action. We are currently reviewing the impact the legislation will have on our and Baylake Bank’s business.

The legislation charges the federal banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC with drafting and implementing enhanced supervision, examination and capital standards for depository institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act also authorized various new assessments and fees, expands supervision and oversight authority over nonbank subsidiaries, increases the standards for certain covered transactions with affiliates and requires the establishment of minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements for insured depository institutions. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act contains several provisions that change the manner in which deposit insurance premiums are assessed and which could increase the FDIC deposit insurance premiums paid by Baylake Bank.

The Dodd-Frank Act establishes a new, independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which will have broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement authority over consumer financial products and services, including deposit products, residential mortgages, home-equity loans and credit cards. States will be permitted to adopt stricter consumer protection laws and state attorney generals can enforce consumer protection rules issued by the Bureau.

The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the regulations promulgated by federal agencies, may impact the profitability of our and Baylake Bank’s business activities, require changes to certain of our business practices or otherwise adversely affect our businesses. These changes may also require us and Baylake Bank to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make necessary changes.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 30, 2010 we completed a closing for a private placement of our Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes were offered and sold primarily to “accredited investors” as defined in Securities Act of 1933 and up to 35 non-accredited investors in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended by Rule 506 promulgated there under. At the closing we issued in aggregate $2.8 million of Notes. The proceeds of this financing will be contributed, in part, as additional capital to Baylake Bank and otherwise used for general purposes.

The Convertible Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum upon issuance and until maturity or earlier conversion or redemption. Interest is payable quarterly, in arrears, on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, of each year, commencing October 1, 2009. The Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each $5.00 in aggregate principal amount held on the record date of the conversion subject to certain adjustments as described in the Convertible Notes. Prior to October 1, 2014, each holder of the Convertible Notes may convert up to 100% at the discretion of the holder) of the original principal amount into shares of our common stock at the conversion ratio. On October 1, 2014, one-half of the original principal amounts are mandatorily convertible into common stock at the conversion ratio if voluntary conversion has not occurred. The principal amount of any Convertible Note that has not been converted will be payable at maturity on June 30, 2017. We are not obligated to register the common stock issued on the conversion of the Convertible Notes.
