The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Baylake Corp.'s ("Company") 1997 annual report on Form 10-K. The unaudited financial information included in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. 2.

As of December 31, 1993, the Company adopted STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS No. 115 (SFAS 115) "ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES." Accordingly, investment securities available for sale at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 are carried at market value. 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. 5. As of January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" which amends SFAS No. 65, "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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. 6. As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement established standards for reporting and the display of comprehensive income in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. 10 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, 1998, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included herein. This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and other sections of this report, contain forward- looking statements that are based on the current expectations of management. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "is likely," "plans," "projects," and other such words are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The statements contained herein and such future statements involve or may involve certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, that could materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. In addition to the assumptions and other factors referenced specifically in connection with such statements, the following factors could impact the business and financial prospects of the Company: changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulations; changes in tax laws; changes in prices; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; and changes in the national economy. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the three months ended June 30, 1998, net income increased $195,000, or 16.2%, to $1.4 million from $1.21 million for the second quarter of 1997. The annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the three months ended June 30, 1998, were 1.21% and 13.17%, respectively compared to 1.22% and 12.09%, respectively, for the same period a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net income was $2.72 million, an increase of 13.3% from the $2.4 million earned during the first six months of 1997. The annualized return on average assets and return on average equity, were 1.21% and 12.92%, respectively, compared to 1.23% and 12.22%, respectively for the same period a year ago. 11 The change in net income for the period is primarily due to improved net interest income and an increase in other income offset by increased other expenses. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased $269,000, or 6.5%, to $4.42 million from $4.15 million for the same period a year ago. Total interest income for the second quarter of 1998 increased $1.23 million, or 16.0%, to $8.92 million from $7.69 million for the second quarter of 1997, while interest expense increased $961,000, or 27.2%, to $4.5 million from $3.54 million in the second quarter of 1997. These changes were primarily the result of a favorable increase in the average volume of earning assets offset by increased competition related to loan pricing, particularly in the commercial sector, and deposit pricing, primarily in time deposits. For the three months ended June 30, 1998, average earning assets increased $68.6 million, or 19.0%, when compared to the same period last year. The Company registered an increase in average loans of $32.8 million, or 12.0% for the second quarter of 1998 compared to the same period a year ago. Loans have typically resulted in higher rates of interest payable to the Company than have investment securities. Net interest margin (on a federal tax-equivalent basis) for the three months ended June 30, 1998 decreased from 4.83% to 4.40% compared to a year ago. The average yield on interest earning assets amounted to 8.59% for the second quarter of 1998, representing a decrease of 16 basis points from the same period last year. Total loan yields remained the same at 9.25%, while total investment yields decreased 20 basis points to 6.95% as compared to the same period a year ago. The Company's average cost on interest-bearing deposit liabilities increased 20 basis points to 4.62% for the second quarter of 1998, while short-term borrowing costs decreased 11 basis points to 5.74% comparing the two periods. The above factors contributed to a decrease in the Company's overall interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, average earning assets increased by $62.0 million, or 17.2%, when compared to the same period last year. Loans have continued to grow as the Company registered an increase in average loans of $32.2 million, or 12.0%, for the first six months of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Net interest margin (on a federal tax-equivalent basis) for the first six months of 1998 declined to 4.43% from 4.91% for the same period last year. The average yield on interest-earning assets amounted to 8.63% for the first six months of 1998, representing a decrease of 16 basis points over the same period last year. Total loan yields declined 10 basis points to 9.23% while yields on 12 investment securities declined 4 basis points to 7.08%. The Company's average cost on interest-bearing deposit liabilities increased 27 basis points to 4.63% for the first six months of 1998, while short-term borrowing costs increased 1 basis point to 5.74% comparing the two periods. The above factors contributed to a decrease in the Company's overall interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Another factor affecting interest margin has been the Company's effort intended to increase interest-earning assets and thus reduce the percentage of equity to total assets (known as leveraging) by acquiring additional funding, primarily from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Chicago. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 decreased $2,000, or 1.3%, to $151,000 from $153,000 for the second quarter a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the provision for loan losses decreased $2,000, or .7%, to $301,000 from $303,000 for the same period last year. Management believes that the current allowance is adequate in view of the present condition of the Company's loan portfolio. NON-INTEREST INCOME Total non-interest income decreased $51,000, or 5.2%, to $937,000 for the second quarter of 1998, from $988,000 for the second quarter a year ago. This decrease has occurred as a result of increased trust income, fees on other customer services offset by decreased loan servicing fee income, decreased gains from sales of loans, decreased other income and a decline in securities gains taken. For the first six months of 1998, non-interest income has improved $120,000, or 6.8%, to $1.88 million from $1.76 million for the same period a year ago. Trust revenues increased primarily as a result of increased trust and estate business. Loan servicing fees showed improvement as an increase in portfolio size has provided approximately $17,000 in increased servicing fee income for the first six months of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. Gain on the sale of loans decreased slightly in the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the second quarter of 1997 as a result of decreased loan sales. For the first six months gain on sales of loans has increased $83,000, or 26.3%. Company sold the Small Business Administration ("SBA") guaranteed portion of commercial loans totaling $3.4 million and $3.9 million of mortgage loans in the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $2.8 million of commercial loans and $1.5 million in mortgage loans for the same period in 1997. The increase in fees for other services to customers primarily resulted from increased service charges on deposit products. 13 NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense decreased $25,000, or .8%, for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Salaries and employee benefits showed an increase of $67,000 or 3.7% for the period as a result of salary increases and related benefit expense increases. Slight decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses resulted in spite of expansion efforts in the Green Bay market, resulting in additional depreciation expense. Data processing expense increased $11,000 in the second quarter of 1998 primarily as a result of additional transaction volume. Other operating expense shows a decrease of $42,000, primarily a result of Karsten Resources Inc. expenses of $17,000 in the second quarter of 1997. That operation was sold in the latter part of 1997, thus no expenses occurred in the second quarter of 1998. The overhead ratio, which is computed by subtracting non-interest income from non-interest expense and dividing by average total assets, was 1.99% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 2.32% for the same period in 1997. Non-interest expense increased $65,000, or 1.0%, for the first six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same period in 1997. Salaries and employee benefits showed an increase of $156,000, or 4.3%, primarily for the same reasons as listed previous. Occupancy and equipment expenses shows a decrease of $27,000, or .6%, as a result of reduced depreciation expense. Data processing expense increased $18,000, or 5.7%, for the six months ended June 30 as compared to the same period a year ago, primarily the result of additional transaction volume. Other operating expense shows a decrease of $57,000, or 4.1%, primarily a result of a reduction of $37,000 in expenses related to the Karsten Resources, Inc. operation. The overhead ratio was 2.04% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 2.39% for the same period in 1997. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased $50,000, or 9.8%, to $561,000 from $511,000 for the same period one year ago. The increase in income tax provision was due to increased taxable income. The provision for income taxes for the first six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $42,000, or 4.2%, to $1.04 million from $999,000 for the same period one year ago. The increase in income tax provision was due to increased taxable income. BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS LOAN PORTFOLIO At June 30, 1998, total loans increased $18.8 million, or 6.4%, to $312.3 million from $293.4 million at December 31, 1997. The change in loan mix in the Company's portfolio resulted from an 14 increase in commercial loans to $181.6 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $165.2 million at December 31, 1997. In addition, real estate construction loans increased to $15.1 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $14.8 million at December 31, 1997 and real estate-mortgage loans increased to $103.5 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $100.6 million at December 31, 1997. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS At June 30, 1998, non-performing assets amounted to $4.34 million compared to $4.70 million at December 31, 1997. Non-performing assets at June 30, 1998 were .91% of total assets compared to 1.04% that existed on December 31, 1997. The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans at June 30, 1998 was 1.39% compared to 1.60% at December 31, 1997. ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES At June 30, 1998, the allowance for loan losses increased $276,000 from year end 1997 to $4.2 million due to a provision expense of $301,000 offset by net charge offs over recoveries of $25,000 year to date. Although loans have continued to grow at an above average rate, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans has improved slightly. The allowance is at a level currently believed to be acceptable by management. At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans were at 1.33% and 1.32%, respectively. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO At June 30, 1998, the investment portfolio increased $7.1 million, or 6.2%, to $122.0 million from $114.9 million at December 31, 1997. At June 30, 1998, the investment portfolio represented 25.6% of total assets compared with 25.5% at December 31, 1997. The increase in total investments occurred as a result of net growth in other funding sources such as federal funds purchased as compared to growth in the loan portfolio. DEPOSITS Total deposits at June 30, 1998 increased $8.3 million, or 2.4%, to $354.3 million from $346.0 million at December 31, 1997. Noninterest bearing deposits at June 30, 1998 increased $2.0 million, or 4.5%, to $46.2 million from $44.2 million at December 31, 1997. Interest-bearing deposits at June 30, 1998 increased $6.3 million, or 2.1%, to $308.1 million from $301.8 million at December 31, 1997. Time deposits over $100,000 show an increase of $7.8 million resulting primarily from attracting various municipal deposits. Overall deposits for the first six months tend to slightly decline as a result of the seasonality of the customer base as they drawdown deposits during the early first half of the year in anticipation of the summer tourist season. 15 SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Total short-term borrowings at June 30, 1998 increased $18.2 million to $74.9 million from $56.6 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in short-term borrowings resulted from more growth in the loan and investment portfolio compared to overall deposit growth. LIQUIDITY As shown in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cashflows for the six months ended June 30, 1998, cash and cash equivalents increased $3.6 million during the period to $18.7 million at June 30, 1998. The increase primarily reflected $3.6 million in net cash provided by operating activities and $24.4 million provided by financing activities offset by $24.4 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 increase in loans and investment securities plus necessary capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from a net decrease as a result of treasury stock purchased and dividends paid offset by a net increase in short term deposits, time deposits and borrowed funds. Strong loan demand for the first six months of 1998 continues to remain solid thereby effecting an increase in short term funding requirements through overnight correspondent fed funds purchases and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. A component of the Company's strategy to enter additional markets will continue to concentrate on core deposit growth and utilize other funding sources such as the Federal Home Loan Bank so as to reduce reliance on short-term funding needs. The Company manages its liquidity to provide adequate funds to support the borrowing requirements and deposit flow of its customers. Management views 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. While these accounts are contractually short-term in nature, it is the Company's experience that repricing occurs over 16 a longer period of time. The Company views 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 small increments without a material decrease in balances. 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. 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 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 sensitive 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, 1998, rate sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets by $82.1 million, or a ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities of 68.2%. For the next time frame of four to six months, rate sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets by $9.6 million, or a ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities of 73.9%. For all assets and liabilities priced within a one year time frame, the cumulative ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities was 67.6%, which is outside the range of plus or minus 15% deemed acceptable by management. When the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it can borrow from a number of sources, including the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and other correspondent banks. Management continually review 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. 17 ASSET AND LIABILITY MATURITY REPRICING SCHEDULE AS OF JUNE 30, 1998 Within Four to Seven to One Year Over Three Six Twelve to Five Five Months Months Months Years Years Total --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- (In Thousands) Earning Assets: Investment Securities $ 5,766 $ 6,195 $ 1,940 $ 46,556 $ 63,380 $ 123,837 Federal funds sold 0 0 Loans and Leases: Variable Rate 145,155 0 0 145,155 Fixed Rate 25,360 21,061 26,281 87,458 5,921 166,081 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Total Loans and Leases $ 170,515 $ 21,061 $ 26,281 $ 87,458 $ 5,921 $ 311,236 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Total Earning Assets $ 176,281 $ 27,256 $ 28,221 $ 134,014 $ 69,301 $ 435,073 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= Interest Bearing Liabilities: NOW Accounts $ 37,630 $ $ $ $ $ 37,630 Saving Deposits 104,693 104,693 Time Deposits 47,217 30,884 47,674 39,987 9 165,771 Borrowed Funds 68,877 6,000 53 211 66 75,207 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Total Interest Bearing Liabilities $ 258,417 $ 36,884 $ 47,727 $ 40,198 $ 75 $ 383,301 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= Interest Sensitivity GAP $ (82,136) $ (9,628) $ (19,506) $ 93,816 $ 69,226 $ 51,772 (within periods) Cumulative Interest Sensitivity (82,136) (91,764) (111,270) (17,454) $ 51,772 GAP Ratio of Cumulative Interest -18.88% -21.09% -25.58% -4.01% 11.90% Sensitivity GAP to Rate Sensitive Assets Ratio of Rate Sensitive Assets to 68.22% 73.90% 59.13% 333.38% -- Rate Sensitive Liabilities Cumulative Ratio of Rate Sensitive 68.22% 68.93% 67.56% 95.45% 113.51% Assets to Rate Sensitive Liabilities 18 CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 1998, stockholders' equity increased $1.3 million, or 3.1%, to $43.2 million from $41.9 million at December 31, 1997. The increase resulted from net income less dividends paid and less a decrease in capital of $16,000 resulting from decreases in the market value of available for sale securities related to FAS 115. In addition treasury stock purchases of $211,000 were made in the six months ended June 30, 1998, also reducing capital. At June 30, 1998, the Company's risk-based Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 10.84%, the total risk based capital ratio was 12.02% and the leverage ratio was 8.16%. The Company and Baylake Bank continue to exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements. Year 2000 The Company has completed an initial assessment of the Year 2000 issue. This issue relates to systems designed to use two digits rather than four to define the particular year. As a part of the initial steps, the Company was required to identify, assess and prioritize mission critical systems, software and support equipment for remediation. In addition, by June 30, 1998, the Company was required to continue the remediation process, implement a customer due diligence awareness program and complete development of written Year 2000 testing strategies and plans. These processes have been completed. The next phase will encompass testing of internal mission-critical systems, including those programmed in-house and those purchased from outside vendors. This phase has started in the early part of July 1998. The financial impact to the Company to ensure year 2000 compliance is not anticipated by management to be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flow of the Company. Anticipated costs are expected to be in the range of $100,000. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not applicable PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 5.
