        Accordingly,  investment securities available  for sale  at March
        31, 1996  and December 31,  1995 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 March 31, 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
        first quarter.
    
    
 6.     On August  31, 1994, the Company  acquired Kewaunee County
        Banc-Shares,  Inc. ("KCB"), a  registered bank holding company,
        and its wholly owned  subsidiary, State Bank  of Kewaunee
        (subsequently  named "Baylake Bank Kewaunee") ("BBK").   Effective
        January 1, 1996,  Baylake Bank and BBK were  merged, and referred
        to herein as "Baylake Bank".

               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 March 31,
1996, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and March 31, 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. 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.  The acquisition remains subject to
regulatory approvals and other contingencies.




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 1996, net income increased $92,000, or
8.5%, to $1.17 million from $1.08 million for the first quarter of 1995.  The
annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, were 1.52% and 12.91%, respectively compared to
1.53% and 13.27%, respectively, for the same period a year ago.

The increase in net income for the period is primarily due to improved other
income offset by decreased net interest income and increased other expenses.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased
$70,000, or 2.0%, to $3.38 million from $3.45 million for the same period a
year ago.  Total interest income for the first quarter of 1996 increased
$190,000, or 3.3%, to $5.99 million from $5.80 million for the first quarter of
1995, while interest expense increased $260,000, or 11.0%, to $2.62 million
from $2.36 million in the first quarter of 1995.  These changes were primarily
the result of a decreased rate environment and 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.  These increases were offset by an increase in the average
   10

volume of earning assets.  In total, these changes contributed to a decline in
net interest margin for the first quarter of 1996.

For the three months ended March 31, 1996, average earning assets increased
$18.8 million, or 7.0%, when compared to the same period last year.  The
Company registered an increase in average loans of $16.75 million, or 8.5%, for
the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period a year ago.  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 March 31, 1996 decreased from 5.43% to 4.94% compared to a year ago.  The
average yield on interest earning assets amounted to 8.58% for the first
quarter of 1996, representing a decrease of 39 basis points from the same
period last year.  Total loan yields declined 40 basis points to 9.18%, while
total investment yields declined 79 basis points to 7.66% as compared to the
same period a year ago.  The Company's cost on average interest-bearing
liabilities amounted to 4.40%, an increase of 10 basis points for the first
quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Interest-bearing deposits
increased 15 basis points while short-term borrowings and long-term debt
decreased 85 basis points.



PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1996
increased $17,000, or 22.1%, to $94,000 from $77,000 for the first quarter a
year ago.  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 $344,000, or 69.1%, to $842,000 for the
first quarter of 1996, from $498,000 for the first quarter a year ago.  This
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
$113,000 were realized as a result of loan sales in the secondary market and
estimated fees of $78,000 were recognized due to the implementation of SFAS No.
122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" in the first quarter 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 $45,000 stemming from the operation of Karsten Resources, Inc.
("Karsten"), a hotel and restaurant business, account for the increase in other
income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
   11


Non-interest expense increased $140,000, or 6.1%, for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Salaries and employee
benefits showed the largest increase of $258,000, or 19.6%, due in part to
additional employee expense of $22,000 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.  Also affected as a result of the start up operations in the Green
Bay region are increased costs in occupancy and equipment expense.  FDIC
insurance expense shows a large decline of $151,000 as a result of action taken
by the FDIC to lower the assessment ratio from 23 cents per $100 of deposits in
June 1995 to a minimum fee as reflected in 1996 first quarter numbers.

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.

$26,000 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.

The overhead ratio, which is computed by subtracting non-interest income from
non-interest expense and dividing by average total assets, was 2.09% for the
first three months ended March 31, 1996 compared with 2.56% for the same period
in 1995.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31,
1996 increased $25,000, or 5.2%, to $504,000 from $479,000 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 March 31, 1996, total loans increased $7.6 million, or 3.6%, to $217.8
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 $136.3
million at March 31, 1996 compared to $129.7 million at December 31, 1995.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

At March 31, 1996, non-performing assets amounted to $2.68 million compared to
$1.49 million at December 31, 1995.  Non-performing loans at March 31, 1996
were .85% of total 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
   12

is closely monitoring this situation.  $275,000 of the increase centers around
four 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 March 31, 1996 was 1.23% compared to .71% at December
31, 1995.

ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

At March 31, 1996, the allowance for loan losses increased $90,000 from year
end 1995 to $2.71 million.  Although loans have continued to grow at an above
average rate, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans has not
increased.  The allowance is at a level currently believed to be acceptable by
management.  At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of total loans were each at 1.24%.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

At March 31, 1996, the investment portfolio declined $1.96 million, or 2.59%,
to $73.7 million from $75.6 million at December 31, 1995.  At March 31, 1996,
the investment portfolio represented 23.3% of total assets compared with 24.4%
at December 31, 1995.  The slight decline in total investments occurred as
proceeds from matured investment securities were used to fund loan demand.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits at March 31, 1996 increased $1.77 million, or .66%, to $268.7
million from 267.0 million at December 31, 1995.  Non-interest bearing deposits
at March 31, 1996 decreased $3.9 million, or 11.5%, to $29.9 million from $33.9
million at December 31, 1995.  Interest-bearing deposits at March 31, 1996
increased $5.7 million, or 2.4%, to $238.8 million from $233.1 million at
December 31, 1995.  Time deposits show a larger than normal increase with $9.9
million in growth since year end 1995 as municipal deposits have shifted into
higher interest paying time deposit accounts.  Overall deposits for the first
quarter tend to 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.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Total short-term borrowings at March 31, 1996 increased $5.3 million to $6.8
million from $1.5 million at December 31, 1995.  This increase corresponds to
past historical trends.  The seasonality of the customer base 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.

LIQUIDITY

As shown in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cashflows for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.1 million
during the period to $8.8
   13

million at March 31, 1996. The decrease primarily reflected $1.2 million in net
cash provided by operating activities and $5.9 million provided by financing
activities offset by $8.2 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, increasing deposits at the end of summer.

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 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 March 31, 1996, rate
sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets by $39.4 million, or a
ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities
   14

of 75.7%.  For the next time frame of four to six months, rate sensitive
liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets by $5.8 million, or a ratio of rate
sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities of 75.3%. For all assets and
liabilities priced within a one year time frame, the cumulative ratio of rate
sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities was 82.8%, 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 March 31, 1996, stockholders' equity increased $355,000, or 1.0%, to $36.6
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 $250,000
resulting from the implementation of FAS 115.  At March 31, 1996, the Company's
risk-based Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 16.42%, the total risk based capital ratio
was 17.63% and the leverage ratio was 11.86%.  The Company and Baylake Bank
continue to exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


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.
            
            The definitive agreement provides that Baylake will acquire
            Four Seasons in a cash transaction, in the amount of $13.8
            million, plus the amount of Four Seasons net income from
            January 1, 1996 prior to closing.  The acquisition remains
            subject to regulatory approvals, an audit of Four Seasons
            financial statements, and other customary conditions.
            Assuming the conditions are timely met, the acquisition  of
            Four Seasons is expected to be consummated in summer 1996.
            The acquisition would be accounted for 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.  This 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.
