Why acquire a bank? • Market valuations are at all time low point • No new charters are being issued • Competition is bogged down • Businesses are changing banks in droves • With a bank charter FDIC assisted acquisitions become attainable to enhance growth potential
Early stage • Initially raised $2.0 million to fund pre-opening operating expenses • Left my former bank • Carefully selected and recruited organizer group to manage business strategy and drive business to the bank • Organizers have businesses complementary to commercial banking, i.e., Medical accounts receivable management, merchant processing, payroll, insurance, title services, mortgage banking, insurance, etc.

Baytree National Bank & Trust Co. • Opened in October of 2000 • Headquartered in Lake Forest (wealthiest community in Illinois > 20k residents) • Two branches - Lake Forest and Lake Bluff Lake ForestLake Bluff
Market Opportunity In thousands • Combined totals for both Lake Forest and Lake Bluff • Source – FDIC • Total Deposits include brokered and/or wholesale deposits
Challenges • Negotiate with Stakeholders • Correspondent bank owed $9.0 million • Subordinated note holders owed $4.5 million • Negotiate with Regulators • OCC issued consent order • FDIC ready to shut down • Time and rapidly eroding capital base • Large write offs and operating losses • Complete due diligence • Raise capital • $13 million in less than 30 days
Success • Correspondent bank agreed to take a $8.0 million plus loss • Converted subordinated debt holders to equity creating Tier 1 capital and an additional layer of reserves • Wiped out the existing shareholders • Transferred troubled assets off bank’s balance sheet • Acquired 100% of the stock of the bank • Raised $15.5 million • High praise from regulators • Saved taxpayers $30 to 60 million
Path Forward • Breakeven within 12 months • Cut waste • Convert non-core assets to cash • Deploy idle cash • Finish $20 million capital raise • Make strategic investments • Grow organically • 20% per year • Recruit top talent in the market • Consider FDIC-assisted acquisitions • Window to close mid 2011
Industry • 200 plus banks will fail in 2010 • Inability to raise capital • Lack of government support • Push troubled assets through the system • Interest rates will begin to rise • Private equity and hedge funds will remain closed out • Thousands of community bank customers disenfranchised
Industry “Last year, 140 banks failed in the U.S. That was the highest annual number since 1992 during the peak of the savings and loan crisis. The failures last year cost the FDIC's insurance fund more than $30 billion. Twenty-five banks failed in 2008 and three in 2007 FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair has predicted that the number of bank failures will peak this year and be slightly more than in 2009” USA Today 4/16/10
Industry • Fewer community banks will be left to serve market creating tremendous growth opportunities • FDIC-assisted transactions will become plentiful due to lack of bidders
