               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Baylake Bank, N.A.
Poy Sippi, Wisconsin


        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Baylake
Bank, N.A. and subsidiary as of October 1, 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholder equity, and cash flows for the
period from January 1, 1998 to October 1, 1998. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly the consolidated financial position of Baylake Bank, N.A. and subsidiary
at October 1, 1998, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
period from January 1, 1998 to October 1, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

        The accompanying balance sheet of Baylake Bank, N.A. as of December 31,
1997, was not audited by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
it.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - INFORMATION ABOUT THE BANK AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
              ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The consolidated financial statements of Baylake Bank, N.A.
         (formerly Evergreen Bank, N.A., see note 2) include the accounts of
         the bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dahlman Investment Corp.
         All significant intercompany items and transactions have been
         eliminated.

         Baylake Bank, N.A, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baylake Corp.

         The bank grants commercial, mortgage, and installment loans to
         customers substantially all of whom are located in Waushara,
         Outagamie, Green Lake, and Waupaca Counties of Wisconsin. Although
         the bank has a diversified portfolio, a substantial portion of
         their debtors' ability to honor its contracts is dependent upon the
         economic condition of the local commercial and agricultural
         industries.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
         make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
         the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
         could differ from those estimates.

         Investment securities classified as available for sale are those
         securities which the bank has determined might be sold to manage
         interest rate risk or in response to changes in interest rates or
         other economic factors. While the bank has no current intention of
         selling these securities, they may not be held to maturity.

         Investment securities available for sale at October 1, 1998, and
         December 31, 1997, are carried at market value. At December 31,
         1997, adjustments up or down to market value are recorded as a
         separate component of equity, net of tax. At October 1, 1998, the
         securities were adjusted to market values as required by purchase
         accounting. 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.

         Loans are stated at market value at October 1, 1998, and face value
         at December 31, 1997, net of deferred loan origination fees (net of
         costs) and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is
         calculated using the simple interest method on daily balances of
         the principal amount outstanding.

         Loan origination fees and related costs are deferred and the net
         deferred revenue is amortized over the term of the loans using the
         effective interest rate method.

NOTE 1 - INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
                 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

         The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
         adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the loan
         portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the
         allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past loan
         loss experience, current domestic and international economic
         conditions, volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio,
         and other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by
         provisions for loan losses charged against income.

         The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan becomes
         90 days past due as to principal or interest. When interest
         accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income is reversed.
         If collectibility is in doubt, cash receipts on nonaccrual loans
         are used to reduce principal rather than recorded as interest
         income.

         Depreciable assets are stated at market value at October 1, 1998,
         and at cost less accumulated depreciation at December 31, 1997.
         Depreciation is charged to operating expense over the estimated
         useful lives of the assets, using the straight-line and accelerated
         methods.

         Other real estate, which is included in other assets, comprises
         properties acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance
         of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at
         the lower of cost or fair value, minus estimated costs to sell,
         based on appraised value at the date acquired. Loan losses arising
         from the acquisition of such property are charged against the
         allowance for loan losses. An allowance for losses on other real
         estate is maintained for subsequent valuation adjustments on a
         specific property basis.

         Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
         reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently
         due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between
         depreciation for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred
         tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return
         consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or
         deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or
         settled.

         The bank and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax
         return. The subsidiary provides for income taxes on a
         separate-return basis, and remits to the company amounts determined
         to be currently payable, if any.

         Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
         shares outstanding during the period.

         For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the bank considers
         cash and due from banks as cash and cash equivalents.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION

         On October 1, 1998, Baylake Corp. (a bank holding company) acquired
         Evergreen Bank, N.A. and changed its name to Baylake Bank, N.A.
         Prior to the acquisition, Evergreen Bank, N.A. was under the active
         supervision of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency due to
         its designation of the bank as a "troubled and critically under
         capitalized institution" based on severe asset quality problems and
         significant fraudulent activities by former bank employees and
         directors.

         As part of the acquisition, Baylake Corp. was required to
         contribute $4 million of capital to the bank. Subsequent to October
         1, Baylake Corp. contributed an additional $3 million of capital to
         the bank.

         No payments to the former shareholder of Evergreen Bank, N.A. have
         been made, but are contingently payable in May 1999 based on a
         formula set forth in the stock purchase agreement. The formula
         requires a payment of the lesser of $2 million, or the amount of
         recoveries of the allowance for loan losses for loans classified as
         being of substandard quality on the acquisition date and any other
         recoveries of items previously charged-off. The contingent payments
         are not accrued at October 1, 1998, since the amount, if any, is
         not estimable.

         The acquisition is accounted for using the purchase method of
         accounting. Under the purchase method, net assets purchased are
         recorded at their fair market values on the date of acquisition.
         Any excess of the purchase price over the value of the net assets
         is recorded as goodwill.

         The goodwill recorded on the bank is the result of assumption of
         liabilities having a market value in excess of market value of
         assets received. Any payments made in the future to the former
         shareholder of the bank may affect the goodwill recorded. Goodwill
         will be amortized over 15 years.


NOTE 3 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

         The bank is required to maintain average reserve balances by the
         Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of those reserve balances
         for the period ended October 1, 1998, was $0.

         including their immediate families, companies in which they are
         principal owners, and trusts in which they are involved, were loan
         customers of the bank during 1998. Such loans were made in the
         ordinary course of business at normal credit terms, including
         interest rate, but on occasion were not adequately collateralized,
         and may represent more than a normal risk of collection. The
         aggregate dollar amount of these loans was $694,411 at October 1,
         1998. During 1998, $493,557 of new loans were made, repayments
         totaled $647,254, and $107,479 was charged-off.

NOTE 5 - LOANS (continued)

         Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or
         reduced amounted to $10,672,256 at October 1, 1998. If these loans
         had been current throughout their terms, interest income for the
         nonaccrual period would have approximated $702,743 for 1998.
         Interest income which has been recorded amounted to $422,195 for

         The provision for credit losses charged to expense is based upon
         the bank's credit loss experience and an evaluation of potential
         losses in the current loan portfolio, including the evaluation of
         impaired loans under SFAS 114. A loan is considered to be impaired
         when, based upon current information and events, it is probable
         that the bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according
         to the contractual terms of the loan.

NOTE 9 - DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL RESTRICTIONS

         As of October 1, 1998, the bank had an accumulated deficit, and
         therefore, no amount was available for distribution to shareholders
         as dividends without prior approval of regulatory authorities.

         Federal banking regulatory agencies have 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 the 8% required, at least half must be comprised of
         core capital elements defined as Tier 1 capital. The federal
         banking agencies also have adopted leverage capital guidelines
         which banking organizations must meet. Under these guidelines, the
         most highly rated banking organizations must meet a leverage ratio
         of at least 3% Tier 1 capital to total assets, while lower rated
         banking organizations must maintain a ratio of at least 4% to 5%.
         Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
         mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by
         regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect
         on the consolidated financial statements.

         At June 11, 1998, the most recent notification from the Office of
         Comptroller of the Currency categorized the bank as critically
         undercapitalized. Since that notification, Baylake Corp.
         contributed $4 million to the bank on October 1, 1998, and an
         additional $3 million subsequent to that date to address the
         condition (see note 2).

         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%.

         The bank's risk-based capital and leverage ratios at October 1,
         1998 are as follows:

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE -SHEET RISK

          The bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
          risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs
          of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of
          commitments to extend credit.

          The bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
          by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to
          extend credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of
          those instruments. The bank uses the same credit policies in making
          commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
          on-balance-sheet instruments.

</TABLE>

          Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer
          as established in a contract. Commitments generally have fixed
          expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
          payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
          expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
          not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The bank
          evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.
          The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the bank
          upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
          evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may
          include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and
          equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

          Income tax expense associated with net realized securities gains

          Provisions for deferred income taxes have been determined to be not
          material.

          The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income
          tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to
          pretax income as a result of the following differences:
