 4.         As of December 31, 1993, the Company  adopted STATEMENTS OF
            FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS No. 115  (SFAS 115)  "ACCOUNTING

            Adjustments up  or down  to market value  are recorded  as a
            separate  component of  equity, net of  tax.  Premium amortization
            and  discount accretion are recognized as adjustments to  interest
            income.  Realized gains or  losses on disposition  are based on the
            net proceeds and  the adjusted carrying amount  of the securities
            sold, using the specific identification method.

            "Accounting for  Certain  Mortgage Banking  Activities."  This 
            statement required that the rights to service mortgage loans for
            others be recognized as separate assets regardless of how those
            rights were acquired.  The impact on the Company's financial
            position and the results of operation were not material.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

The following sets forth management's discussion and analysis of the
consolidated financial condition of Baylake Corp. ("Company") at June 30, 1996,
and the results of operations for the three and six  months ended June 30, 1996
and June 30, 1995.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included herein.

In March 1996, the Company signed an agreement to acquire Four Seasons of Wis.,
Inc. ("Four Seasons") and its subsidiary in a cash transaction valued at $13.8
million.  Because the transaction would be accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting, it would affect future operations.

Subsequently on July 1, 1996, the Company consummated its acquisition of Four
Seasons.  To consummate the acquisition, the Company has paid to date an
aggregate of $13.875 million which is composed of the initial purchase price of
$13.8 million and one half (or $75,000) of the estimated income of Four Seasons
for 1996 up to the effective date  of the transaction.  The remaining one half
of the estimated net income has been placed in escrow with Baylake Bank pending
the completion and review of a certified audit confirming financial data for
Four Seasons for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Any adjustment to final
net income due shall be made at that time and paid out accordingly.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended June 30, 1996, net income increased $121,000, or
11.2%, to $1.21 million from $1.09 million for the second quarter of 1995.  The
annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, were 1.51% and 13.16%, respectively compared to
1.49% and 12.64%, respectively, for the same period a year ago.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net income was $2.38 million, an
increase of 9.8% from the $2.16 million earned during the first six months of
1995.  The annualized return on average assets and return on average equity,
were 1.51% and 13.04%, respectively, compared to 1.51% and 12.95%, respectively
for the same period a year ago.

The increase in net income for both periods is primarily due to improved net
interest income and
   10

improved other income offset by increased other expenses.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased
$262,000, or 7.8%, to $3.63 million from $3.37 million for the same period a
year ago.  Total interest income for the second quarter of 1996 increased
$383,000, or 6.4%, to $6.34 million from $5.96 million for the second quarter
of 1995, while interest expense increased $121,000, or 4.7%, to $2.71 million
from $2.59 million in the second quarter of 1995.  These changes were primarily
the result of a favorable increase in the average volume of earning assets
offset by increased competition relating to loan pricing, particularly in the
commercial sector, and deposit pricing, particularly in the area of time
deposits resulting from entry into the Green Bay market.

For the three months ended June 30, 1996, average earning assets increased
$25.7 million, or 9.5%, when compared to the same period last year.  The
Company registered an increase in average loans of $24.3 million, or 12.1%, for
the second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period a year ago.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, average earning assets increased by
$22.2 million, or 8.2%, when compared to the same period last year.  Loans have
continued to grow as the Company registered an increase in average loans of
$20.5 million, or 10.3%, for the first six months of 1996 compared to the same
period in 1995.  Loans have typically resulted in higher rates of interest
payable to the Company then have investment securities.

Net interest margin (on a federal tax-equivalent basis) for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 decreased from 5.19% to 5.13% compared to a year ago.  The
average yield on interest earning assets amounted to 8.77% for the second
quarter of 1996, representing a decrease of 23 basis points from the same
period last year.  Total loan yields declined 35 basis points to 9.32%, while
total investment yields increased 18 basis points to 7.13% as compared to the
same period a year ago.  The Company's average cost on interest-bearing deposit
liabilities declined 26 basis points during the second quarter of 1996, while
short-term borrowing costs declined 382 basis points during the second quarter
of 1996.  The above factors resulted in the decrease of the Company's overall
interest margin for the second quarter.

Net interest margin (on a federal tax-equivalent basis) for the first six
months of 1996 declined to 5.07% from 5.31% for the same period a year ago.
The average yield on interest-earning assets amounted to 8.73% for the first
six months of 1996, representing a decrease of 27 basis points from the same
period last year.  Total loan yields declined 38 basis points while investment
securities declined 1 basis point.  The Company's average cost on
interest-bearing deposit liabilities declined 7 basis points to 4.34% for the
first six months of 1996, while short- term borrowing costs decreased 216 basis
points comparing the two periods.  The above factors contributed to a decline
in the Company's overall interest margin for the first six months ended June
30, 1996.
   11


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased $9,000, or 11.5%, to $87,000 from $78,000 for the second quarter a
year ago.  For the first six months ended June 30, 1996, the provision for loan
losses increased $26,000, or 16.8%, to $181,000 from $155,000 for the same
period last year.  This increase has occurred primarily as a result of above
average loan growth.  Management believes that the current allowance is
adequate in view of the present condition of the Company's loan portfolio.
Based on current conditions, management intends to maintain the loan loss
reserve at a level above 1.25% of average total loans, subject to continuing
review.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income increased $153,000, or 24.2%, to $786,000 for the
second quarter of 1996, from $633,000 for the second quarter a year ago. For
the first six months of 1996, non-interest income has increased $497,000, or
43.9%, to $1.63 million from $1.13 million for the same period last year. These
increases have occurred as a result of increased trust revenues, increased loan
servicing fees and increased fees for other customer services.

Trust revenues increased primarily as a result of increased trust business.
Loan servicing fees increased for two reasons.  Premiums of approximately
$155,000 were realized as a result of loan sales in the secondary market and
estimated fees of $115,000 were recognized due to the implementation of SFAS
No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" in the first half of 1996.
The increase in fees for other services to customers primarily resulted from
increased revenues from the Company's insurance subsidiary.  Revenues of
approximately $83,000 stemming from the operation of Karsten Resources, Inc.
("Karsten"), a hotel and restaurant business, account for the increase in other
income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense increased $272,000, or 11.6%, for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Salaries and employee
benefits showed the largest increase of $243,000, or 19.5%, due in part to
additional employee expense of $39,000 stemming from the Karsten operation and
additional employee expense resulting from operations in the Green Bay region.
Normal salary increases account for the remaining increase in salaries and
benefits.  Increased occupancy and equipment expenses have also resulted due to
the start up operations in the Green Bay region.  FDIC insurance expense shows
a reduction of $129,000 as a result of action taken by the FDIC to lower the
fees assessed to a minimum fee, rather than the 23 cents per $100 of deposits
assessed in the early half of 1995.

$43,000 of the increase in other operating expense occurred as a result of the
Karsten operation.  The balance of the increase has occurred as a result of
additional promotional expenses, supplies expense, and data services expense
stemming from startup in the Green Bay region, as well as normal expense
increases in other areas.  The overhead ratio, which is computed by subtracting
non-interest income from non-interest expense and dividing by average total
assets, was 2.29% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 2.36%
for the same period in 1995.

Non-interest expense increased $412,000, or 8.9%, for the six months ended June
30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995.  Salaries and employee benefits
showed an increase of $501,000, or 19.5%, due in part to $61,000 recognized
from the Karsten operation along with the additional salary expenses stemming
from the Green Bay operation as previously explained.  Normal salary increases
accounted for the balance of the increase in salaries and benefits.  The
increase in occupancy and equipment expense were primarily the result of the
same reason listed previously.  Other real estate owned expenses shows income
of $170,000, due to gains taken upon disposition of property totaling $177,000.
Much of the gains resulted from additional sales of lots of Idlewild Valley, a
former subsidiary of the Company whose value was written off in 1988.

$69,000 of the increase resulting in other operating expense occurred as a
result of the Karsten operation.  The balance of the increase has occurred as a
result of additional promotional expenses, supplies expense, and data services
expense stemming from startup in the Green Bay region, reasons listed
previously.

The overhead ratio, which is computed by subtracting non-interest income from
non-interest expense and dividing by average total assets, was 2.19% for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 compared with 2.45% for the same period in
1995.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
1996 increased $13,000, or 2.6%, to $508,000 from $493,000 for the same period
one year ago. The Company's provision for income taxes for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 increased $38,000, or 3.9%, to $1.01 million from $974,000 for
the same period a year ago. The increase in income tax  provision for both
periods was due to increased taxable income.


BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

LOAN PORTFOLIO

At June 30, 1996, total loans increased $20.9 million, or 10.0%, to $231.2
million from $210.2 million at December 31, 1995.  The change in loan mix in
the Company's portfolio resulted from an increase in commercial loans to $143.8
million at June 30, 1996 compared to $129.7 million at December 31, 1995.  In
addition, real estate construction loans increased to $9.0 million at June 30,
1996 compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 1995 and real estate-mortgage
loans increased to $66.0 million at June 30, 1996 compared to $62.3 million at
December 31, 1995.


NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

At June 30, 1996, non-performing assets amounted to $2.99 million compared to
$1.49 million at December 31, 1995.  Non-performing loans at June 30, 1996 were
 .99% of total
   13

assets compared with .48% at December 31, 1995.  $627,000 of this increase
stems from a commercial credit which is attempting a reorganization of an
existing business.  Management is closely monitoring this situation.  $686,000
of the increase centers around three restaurant businesses which are
experiencing cashflow problems.  In the event of liquidation, management
expects minimal losses due to strong collateral positions that exist in each
loan.  The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans at June 30, 1996 was
1.29% compared to .71% at December 31, 1995.

ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses increased $158,000 from year
end 1995 to $2.78 million.  Although loans have continued to grow at an above
average rate, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans has
declined slightly.  The allowance is at a level currently believed to be
acceptable by management.  At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans were at 1.20% and
1.24% respectively.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

At June 30, 1996, the investment portfolio declined $3.03 million, or 4.01%, to
$72.6 million from $75.6 million at December 31, 1995.  At June 30, 1996, the
investment portfolio represented 21.9% of total assets compared with 24.4% at
December 31, 1995.  The  decline in total investments occurred as proceeds from
matured investment securities were used to fund loan demand.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits at June 30, 1996 increased $10.9 million, or 4.1%, to $277.9
million from 267.0 million at December 31, 1995.  Non-interest bearing deposits
at June 30, 1996 increased $3.6 million, or 11.5%, to $37.5 million from $33.9
million at December 31, 1995.  Interest-bearing deposits at June 30, 1996
increased $7.3 million, or 3.1%, to $240.4 million from $233.1 million at
December 31, 1995.  Time deposits show a larger than normal increase with $11.6
million in growth since year end 1995 as municipal deposits have shifted into
higher interest paying time deposit accounts.  In addition, entry into the
Green Bay market has provided additional sources of deposit growth helping to
reduce the typical seasonal patterns experienced by the Company in its Door
County market where there has been a pattern of decreased deposits and
increased loan demands in the late spring and early summer seasons by its
customer base in anticipation of the summer tourist season.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Total short-term borrowings at June 30, 1996 increased $11.5 million to $13.0
million from $1.5 million at December 31, 1995.  This increase corresponds to
past historical trends.  The seasonality of the customer base in its Door
County market influences the Company's balance sheet as deposits normally
decrease and loan demand increases during the early part of the year requiring
the Company to meet these needs with other short term funding.  In addition,
loan demand has remained quite strong in the markets that the Company serves.
   14



LIQUIDITY

As shown in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cashflows for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents increased $4.0 million
during the period to $13.9 million at June 30, 1996. The increase primarily
reflected $2.3 million in net cash provided by operating activities and $20.7
million provided by financing activities offset by $19.0 million used in
investing activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities consisted of
the Company's net income for the periods increased by adjustments for non-cash
expenditures.  Net cash used in investing activities consisted of a net
decrease in investments offset by a net increase in loans plus necessary
capital expenditures.  Net cash provided by financing activities resulted
primarily from a net increase in deposits and borrowed funds offset by
dividends paid.  As is typical of the seasonality that exists in the tourism
market serviced, customers tend to prepare for summer business through
increasing loans and drawing down on deposits during the early part of the
year, although the seasonality that exists in the Door County market has been
reduced significantly because of the additional markets the Company serves.
Strong loan demand in the first half of 1996 has also caused the Company to
acquire short term funding sources through overnight correspondent fed fund
purchases to fund loan growth.  Internal deposit growth in the mid to late
summer as is typical of its Door County market should allow the Company to
balance its funding requirements for the remainder of the year.

The Company manages its liquidity to provide adequate funds to support the
borrowing requirements and deposit flow of its customers.  Management view its
liquidity as the ability to raise cash at reasonable costs or with a minimum of
loss and as a measure of balance sheet flexibility to react to marketplace,
regulatory and competitive changes.  The primary sources of the Company's
liquidity are marketable assets maturing within one year.  The Company
attempts, when possible, to match relative maturities of assets and
liabilities, while maintaining the desired net interest margin.  Although the
percentage of earning assets represented by loans is increasing, management
believes that liquidity is adequate to support anticipated borrowing
requirements and deposit flows.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

The following table entitled "Asset and Liability Maturity Repricing Schedule"
indicates that the Company is slightly liability gap sensitive, although
management believes that a range of plus or minus 15% (from 100% matching)
within a one year pricing schedule is acceptable.  The analysis considers
regular savings, money market deposits and NOW accounts to be rate sensitive
within three months.  All other earning categories including loans and
investments as well as other paying liability categories such as time deposits
are scheduled according to their contractual maturities.  Also, Baylake Bank
considers its savings and NOW accounts to be core deposits and relatively
non-price sensitive, as it believes it could make repricing adjustments for
these types of accounts in smaller increments without a material decrease in
balances.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis can be performed in several different ways.
The traditional method of measuring interest sensitivity is called "gap"
analysis.  This mismatch between asset and liability repricing characteristics
in specific time intervals is referred to as "interest rate
   15

sensitivity gap."  If more liabilities than assets reprice in a given time
interval a liability gap position exists.  In general, liability sensitive gap
positions in a declining interest rate environment increases net interest
income.  Alternatively asset sensitive positions, where assets reprice more
quickly than liabilities, negatively impact the net interest income in a
declining rate environment.  In the event of an increasing rate environment,
opposite results would occur in that a liability sensitivity gap position would
decrease net interest income and an asset sensitivity gap position would
increase net interest income.  The sensitivity of net interest income to
changing interest rates can be reduced by matching the repricing
characteristics of assets and liabilities.  For the time frame within three
months as of June 30, 1996, rate sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive
assets by $53.6 million, or a ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive
liabilities of 69.1%.  For the next time frame of four to six months, rate
sensitive assets exceeded rate sensitive liabilities by $739,000, or a ratio of
rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities of 104.3%. For all assets
and liabilities priced within a one year time frame, the cumulative ratio of
rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities was 80.7%, which is
somewhat outside the range of plus or minus 15% deemed acceptable by
management.

Management continually reviews its interest risk position through its committee
processes.  Managements' philosophy is to maintain a relatively matched rate
sensitive asset and liability position, within the range described above, in
order to provide earnings stability in the event of significant interest rate
changes.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, stockholders' equity increased $720,000, or 2.0%, to $37.0
million from $36.3 million at December 31, 1995.  The increase resulted from
net income less dividends paid offset by a reduction in capital of $528,000
resulting from the implementation of FAS 115.   At June 30, 1996, the Company's
risk-based Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 15.38%, the total risk based capital ratio
was 16.52% and the leverage ratio was 11.84%.  The Company and Baylake Bank
continue to exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements.

Item 5.  Other Information

         Manawa Acquisition

         In March 1996, Baylake entered into a definitive agreement providing
         for the acquisition of Four Seasons of Wis, Inc. ("Four Seasons"). 
         Four Seasons is the sole shareholder of The Bank, in Manawa, 
         Wisconsin.  In addition to its main office in Manawa, which is 
         approximately 35 miles west of Green Bay, The Bank maintains a branch 
         office in King, a nearby community.

         Baylake acquired Four Seasons pursuant to a Agreement and Plan of
         Acquisition dated as of March 13, 1996.  To consummate the 
         acquisition, Baylake has paid thus far an aggregate of $13,875,000,
         including $13,800,000 plus 50% (or $75,000) of the estimated income of
         Four Seasons for 1996 up to the effective date of the transaction.  The
         remaining 50% of estimated net income is placed in escrow with Baylake 
         Bank until completion and review of a certified audit confirming 
         financial data for Four Seasons for the six months ended June 30,
         1996.  Any adjustment to final net income due shall be made at that 
         time and the remaining income shall be paid out.  To the extent that 
         there is any increase in actual income which exceeds the amount held
         in escrow, Baylake has agreed to pay such increase at that time.

         The acquisition was negotiated at arm's length between Baylake and the
         representatives of Four Seasons (who are not affiliated with Baylake). 
         The transaction is being accounted for by Baylake using the purchase
         method of accounting.

         Green Bay Branches

         Baylake Bank completed construction of its permanent facility in the
         Green Bay region and opened for business in March 1996.  This 
         facility will offer a full range of products and services.  Total
         costs for building and equipment to date are $2.0 million.  In
         addition, construction will occur on a second site in Green Bay.
         The area is currently served by a temporary facility and offers
         various retail services as well as consumer and commercial loan
         services.  Subsequent to December 31, 1995, Baylake Bank has entered 
         into a contract to construct a building for $1.1 million with 
         completion anticipated in the late third quarter to early fourth 
         quarter of 1996.

         Merger of Subsidiary Banks

         Effective January 1, 1996, Baylake's subsidiary banks, Baylake Bank
         and Baylake Bank (Kewaunee), were merged under the name "Baylake
         Bank".  The merger is intended by Baylake to generate operating
         efficiencies, improve customer service, assist in the coordination of 
         management and reduce regulatory burdens.
