     income/expense by the daily average balance of the asset or liability
     category.
(2)  Tax equivalent yield.
(3)  Average balance of loans includes non-accrual loans.
(4)  Interest rate spread represents the average yield on interest-earning
     assets less the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(5)  Net yield is based on net interest income as a percentage of average total
     interest-earning assets.

CHANGES IN NET INTEREST INCOME (TABLE B)
CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED

The table below summarizes the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities have affected Capitol's net interest income during the periods
indicated (in $1,000s). The change in interest attributable to volume is
calculated by multiplying the annual change in volume by the prior year's rate.
The change in interest attributable to rate is calculated by multiplying the
annual change in rate by the current year's average balance. Any variance
attributable jointly to volume and rate changes has been allocated to each
category based on the percentage of each to the total change in both categories.

The following summarizes, in general, Capitol's various loan classifications:

     Commercial - real estate
     Comprised of a broad mix of business use and multi-family housing
     properties, including office, retail, warehouse and light industrial uses.
     A typical loan size approximates $500,000. At December 31, 2000,
     approximately 25% of such properties were owner-occupied and approximately
     24% of the commercial real estate total consisted of a combination of
     multi-family and residential rental income properties.

     Commercial - other
     Includes a range of business credit products, current asset lines of credit
     and equipment term loans. These products bear higher inherent economic risk
     than other types of lending activities. A typical loan size approximates
     $250,000, and multiple account relationships serve to reduce such risks.

     Real Estate Mortgage
     Includes single family residential loans held for permanent portfolio, and
     home equity lines of credit. Risks are nominal, borne out by loss
     experience, housing economic data and loan-to-value percentages.

     Installment
     Includes a broad range of consumer credit products, secured by automobiles,
     boats, etc., with typical consumer credit risks.

All loans are subject to underwriting procedures commensurate with the loan
size, nature of collateral, industry trends, risks and experience factors.
Appropriate collateral is required for most loans, as is documented evidence of
debt repayment sources.

TABLE D, CONTINUED
CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED

The aggregate amount of nonperforming portfolio loans is shown below.
Nonperforming loans comprise (a) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis, and
(b) loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal and interest
payments (but not included in nonaccrual loans in (a) above) and consist
primarily of commercial real estate loans. Nonperforming portfolio loans include
all loans for which, based on the Capitol's loan rating system, management has
concerns. Loans are placed in nonaccrual status when, in management's opinion,
there is a reasonable probability of not collecting 100% of future principal and
interest payments. In addition, certain loans, although current based on
Capitol's rating criteria, are placed in nonaccrual status. Generally, loans are
placed in nonaccrual status when they become 90 days delinquent; however,
management may elect to continue the accrual of interest in certain
circumstances. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest previously
accrued (but unpaid) is reversed. If non-performing loans (including loans in
nonaccrual status) had performed in accordance with their contractual terms
during the year, additional interest income of $315,000 would have been recorded
in 2000. Interest income recognized on loans in nonaccrual status in 2000
operations approximated $205,000. At December 31, 2000, there were no material
amounts of loans which were restructured or otherwise renegotiated as a
concession to troubled borrowers.

The allowance for loan losses has been  established  as a general  allowance for
losses on the loan  portfolio  estimated at the balance sheet date. For internal
purposes,  management allocates the allowance to all loan  classifications.  The
amounts allocated in the following table,  which includes all loans which, based
on  Capitol's  loan  rating  system,  management  has  concerns,  should  not be
interpreted as an indication of future charge-offs and the amounts allocated are
not intended to reflect the amount that may be available for future losses since
the allowance is a general allowance.

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, certain commercial loans in
Michigan and Indiana participate in state-sponsored loan programs. Under those
programs, the governmental unit shares loss exposure on such loans by funding
reserves which are placed as deposits at the banks. Loans participating in this
program and related reserves approximated $34 million and $2 million,
respectively, at December 31, 2000. Such reserve amounts are separate and
excluded from the allowance for loan losses. The future of the Michigan program
was uncertain at December 31, 2000.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

     Substantially all of the office locations are leased. Each of Capitol's
banks operate from a single location, except Capitol National Bank (which has
one branch location in Okemos, Michigan) and Sunrise Bank of Arizona (which had

addresses of each bank's main office are shown in the Marketing Section of
Annual Report, which are incorporated herein by reference, from the following

     Ann Arbor Commerce Bank, in 1998, and Portage Commerce Bank, in 1997,
relocated their main offices to substantially larger leased facilities
(approximately 18,000 and 10,000 square feet, respectively) in response to asset
growth and to better serve customers.

     Most of the other bank subsidiaries' facilities are generally small (i.e.,
less than 10,000 square feet), first floor offices with convenient access to
parking.

     Some of the banks have drive-up customer service. The banks are typically
located in or near high traffic centers of commerce in their respective
communities. Customer service is enhanced through utilization of ATMs to process
some customer-initiated transactions and some of the banks also make available a
courier service to pick up transactions at customers' locations.

     The principal offices of Capitol are located within the same building as
Capitol National Bank in Lansing, Michigan. Those headquarters include
administrative, operations, accounting, and executive staff. Data processing
centers are located in Lansing, Michigan and Tempe, Arizona.

     Sun Community Bancorp Limited's principal offices are within the same
building as Camelback Community Bank in Phoenix, Arizona.

     Certain of the office locations are leased from related parties.
Incorporated by reference from Pages 34-35, Financial Information Section of
Annual Report, under the caption "Note F--Premises and Equipment" and Page 11,

directors and executives of the Corporation or a Subsidiary upon whose judgment,
interest, and special effort the successful conduct of the Corporation's
operation is largely dependent.

Corporation or any Subsidiary, the Corporation's independent certified public
<PAGE>
accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional
retained by the Corporation to assist in the administration of the Plan.

     4.3 AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE. The Committee has the exclusive power,
authority, and discretion to:

          (a) Designate Participants to receive Options;

          (b) Determine the number of Options to be granted and the number of
shares of Stock to which an Option will relate;

          (c) Determine the terms and conditions of any Option granted under the
Plan including but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, or purchase
price, any restrictions or limitations on the Option, any schedule for vesting
or lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an
Option, and accelerations or waivers thereof, based in each case on such
considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines;

          (d) Amend, modify, or terminate any outstanding Option, with the
Participant's consent unless the Committee has the authority to amend, modify,
or terminate an Option without the Participant's consent under any other
provision of the Plan;

          (e) Determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an
Option may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Option may be paid in,
cash, Stock, or other property, or an Option may be canceled, forfeited, or
surrendered;

          (f) Prescribe the form of each Option Agreement, which need not be
identical for each Participant;

          (g) Decide all other matters that must be determined in connection
with an Option;

          (h) Establish, adopt, or revise any rules and regulations as it may
deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan; and

          (i) Make all other decisions and determinations that may be required
under the Plan or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer
the Plan.

     4.4 DECISIONS BINDING. The Committee's interpretation of the Plan, any
Options granted under the Plan, any Option Agreement and all decisions and
determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and
conclusive on all parties.

ARTICLE 5 SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

     5.1 NUMBER OF SHARES. Subject to adjustment provided in Section 9.1, the
aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved and available for grant under the
Plan shall be 600,000.

lapses for any reason, any shares of Stock subject to the Option will again be
available for the grant of an Option under the Plan.

     5.3 STOCK DISTRIBUTED. Any Stock distributed pursuant to an Option may
consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury stock

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 6 ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

     6.1 ELIGIBILITY.

          (a) GENERAL. Persons eligible to participate in this Plan include all
directors and executives of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, as determined by
the Committee, provided that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.

          (b) FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS. In order to assure the viability of Options
granted to Participants employed in foreign countries, the Committee may provide
for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to
accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or custom. Moreover, the
Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or
alternative versions of the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for
such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for
any other purpose provided, however, that no such supplements, amendments,
restatements, or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations
contained in Section 5.1 of the Plan.

     6.2 ACTUAL PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee may, from time to time, select from among all eligible individuals,
those to whom Options shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount
of each Option. No individual shall have any right to be granted an Option under
this Plan.

ARTICLE 7 STOCK OPTIONS

     7.1 GENERAL. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants
at any time prior to the termination of the Plan on the following terms and
conditions:

          (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share of Stock under an
Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Option
Agreement. It is the intention under the Plan that the exercise price for any
Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant
provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, grant Options
(other than Options that are intended to qualify as performance-based
compensation under Code Section 162(m)) with an exercise price of less than Fair
Market Value on the date of grant.

          (b) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Committee shall determine the
time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part. The
Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that
must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised.

          (c) PAYMENT. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the
exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without
limitation, cash, shares of Stock (through actual tender or by attestation), or
other property (including broker-assisted "cashless exercise" arrangements), and
the methods by which shares of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be
delivered to Participants.

ARTICLE 8 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO OPTIONS

     8.1 EXCHANGE PROVISIONS. The Committee may at any time offer to exchange or
buy out any previously granted Option for a payment in cash, Stock, or another
Option, based on the terms and conditions the Committee determines and
communicates to the Participant at the time the offer is made.

     8.2 FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any
applicable law or Option Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the
Corporation or a Subsidiary on the grant or exercise of an Option may be made in
such forms as the Committee determines at or after the time of grant, including
without limitation, cash, Stock, promissory note, or other property, or any
combination, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments,
or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted
by, and at the discretion of, the Committee.
<PAGE>
     8.3 LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option
may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other
than the Corporation or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien,
obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the
Corporation or a Subsidiary. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no
Option shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution.

     8.4 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 8.3, a Participant may, in the
manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the
rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any
Option upon the Participant's death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal
representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to
all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Option Agreement applicable to the
Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Option Agreement otherwise
provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by
the Committee. If the Participant is married, a designation of a person other
than the Participant's spouse as his beneficiary with respect to more than 50
percent of the Participant's interest in the Option shall not be effective
without the written consent of the Participant's spouse. If no beneficiary has
been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person
entitled thereto under the Participant's will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed
or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is
filed with the Committee.

     8.5 STOCK CERTIFICATES. All Stock certificates delivered under the Plan are
subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee
deems necessary or advisable to comply with Federal or state securities laws,
rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or
automated quotation system on with the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The
Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions
applicable to the Stock.

     8.6 ACCELERATION UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. If a Change of Control occurs,
all outstanding Options shall become fully exercisable. Upon, or in anticipation
of, such an event, the Committee may cause every Option outstanding hereunder to
terminate at a specific time in the future and shall give each Participant the
right to exercise Options during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole
and absolute discretion, shall determine.

ARTICLE 9 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

     9.1 GENERAL. In the event a stock dividend is declared upon the Stock, the
shares of Stock then subject to each Option (and the number of shares subject
thereto) shall be increased proportionately without any change in the aggregate
purchase price therefor. In the event the Stock shall be changed into or
exchanged for a different number or class of shares of Stock or of another
corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up,
combination of shares, merger or consolidation, there shall be substituted for
each such share of Stock then subject to each Option the number and class of
shares of Stock into which each outstanding share of Stock shall be so
exchanged, all without any change in the aggregate purchase price for the shares
then subject to each Option.

ARTICLE 10 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

     10.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. With the approval of the
Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend, or
modify the Plan provided, however, that to the extent necessary and desirable to
comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the
Corporation shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a
manner and to such a degree as required.

     10.2 OPTIONS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. No termination, amendment, or modification
of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Option previously
granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant.
<PAGE>
ARTICLE 11 GENERAL PROVISIONS

     11.1 NO RIGHTS TO OPTIONS. No Participant, director, employee, or other
person shall have any claim to be granted any Option under the Plan, and neither
the Corporation nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, directors,
employees, and other persons uniformly.

     11.2 NO SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS. No Option gives the Participant any of the
rights of a shareholder of the Corporation unless and until shares of Stock are
in fact issued to such person in connection with such Option.

     11.3 WITHHOLDING. The Corporation or any Subsidiary shall have the
authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit
to the Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local
taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be
withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.

     11.4 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES. Nothing in the Plan or any Option
Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Corporation
or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant's employment or service at any
time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or
service of the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

     11.5 UNFUNDED STATUS OF OPTIONS. The Plan is intended to be an "unfunded"
plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a
Participant pursuant to an Option, nothing contained in the Plan or any Option
Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a
general creditor of the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

     11.6 INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each
member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Corporation from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be
a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure
to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or
her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him
or her provided he or she gives the Corporation an opportunity, at its own
expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and
defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons
may be entitled under the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, as
a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Corporation may have to
indemnify them or hold them harmless.

     11.7 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be
taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement,
savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary.

     11.8 EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the
Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

     11.9 TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the
Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict,
the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

     11.10 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and
the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in
lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated
by rounding up or down as appropriate.

     11.11 SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. With respect to any person who is, on the
relevant date, obligated to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act,
transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable
conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent
any provision
<PAGE>
of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be void to
the extent permitted by law and voidable as deemed advisable by the Committee.

     11.12 GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. The obligation of the Corporation
to make payment of Options in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government
agencies as may be required. The Corporation shall be under no obligation to
register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), any of
the shares of Stock paid under the Plan. If the shares paid under the Plan may
in certain circumstances be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, the
Corporation may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems
advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

     11.13 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all Option Agreements shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Michigan.

Our Organization

Within the past 36 months, Capitol Bancorp Limited has added 16 community banks
to its affiliated group which now numbers 27 banks and 5 bank development
companies. During this period we have expanded operations from two states to six
states, adding Indiana, New Mexico, Nevada, and California, to our original
operating base in Michigan and Arizona.

Our aggressive development strategy has driven an average annual growth rate
which has exceeded 25% during this period. Most noteworthy, it is organic, not
acquired. Startup banks require a period of time to mature; that is, to produce
a reasonable return on the capital invested. The development costs, which are
considerable, are absorbed at the outset of each new bank. This suggests why we
have featured the word "potential" on the cover of this year's report.

    potential adj. 1. capable of being but not yet in existence. -n. 1. the
    inherent ability or capacity for growth, development or coming into being.

Typically, it takes about 36 months to realize a reasonable earnings stream from
a startup bank. Realization of potential, therefore, is not instantaneous. It
requires a measure of patience and a lot of effort. Currently, about two-thirds
of our affiliated banks are within this age group. Therefore, it is not
unreasonable to postulate a significantly enhanced earnings stream from our
affiliated group as these banks move toward maturity. Current performance trends
are encouraging.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Capitol Bancorp Limited

The year 2000 generated four consecutive quarters of record earnings at Capitol
Bancorp Limited, as our focus on delivering consistent, steadily-improving core
operating results began to emerge. The consolidated growth to more than $1.6
billion in assets has enabled the Corporation to more easily absorb typical
development-related costs at its newer banks. We continue to be positioned to
produce operating results in line with investors' expectations. This past year's
performance reflects this operating dynamic with five new bank affiliates.
Nevertheless, Capitol Bancorp's record earnings in each quarter resulted in full
year earnings of $1.13 per share, 31% higher than the comparable operating
per-share figure posted in 1999.

Loan and asset growth reached 29% and 25%, respectively, for the year, even as
we made the conscious decision to limit balance sheet expansion in light of the
softening economy. Net operating revenue growth, typically a reliable indicator
of future earnings, expanded by roughly 39% in 2000.

Sun Community Bancorp Limited

Much in the same way that Capitol reported record earnings for each quarter of
2000, Phoenix-based Sun Community Bancorp Limited, our southwest development
holding company, delivered four consecutive quarters of positive and improving
<PAGE>
earnings. At the close of 2000, total footings were nearing $527 million and
earnings had moved from a 1999 loss of $1.6 million to net income of $800,000
despite a significant concentration of startup banks within the Sun Community
organization.

Nevada Community Bancorp Limited

At Nevada Community Bancorp Limited, the year started with two banks and
approximately $34 million in consolidated assets. By year-end a third startup
bank had been added, contributing to year-end consolidated assets of $106
million. Most notable was the emergence of an early stage affiliate, Red Rock
Community Bank, which posted a profit after only four months of operation.

Sunrise Capital Corporation

Sunrise Capital Corporation serves as our small business lending "SBA"
specialist. When 1999 came to a close, only Sunrise Bank of Arizona was in
operation, opening in late 1998. Reporting only $31 million in total assets at
this Arizona affiliate, Sunrise Capital Corporation initiated efforts to develop
two similarly patterned small business lending banks in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
and San Diego, California. The Corporation finished the year with consolidated
assets increasing nearly threefold, to approximately $85 million.

Indiana Community Bancorp Limited

Focusing on expansion in northern Indiana, Elkhart Community Bank was opened in
1999 and by year-end 2000 had grown to roughly $33 million in total assets.
While still very much in its infancy from a developmental perspective, our
Indiana initiative was augmented in late 2000 with the opening of Goshen
Community Bank.

FOOTNOTES FOR THE YEAR 2000

Beginning the new year with the Y2K bug that failed to bite, the banking
industry breathed a collective sigh of relief when January 1, 2000 became "just
another day" for the sector. Much like most of the competition in the banking



                   [TIMELINE OF BANK OPENINGS FROM 1982-1991]
<PAGE>
community, our organization's operating activities continued uninterrupted as
the new year began, validating our confidence in the operating integrity of our
computer systems while comforting the internal review teams that had worked
meticulously to assure our technological preparedness entering 2000.

As Internet-related mania has served to whipsaw the NASDAQ in both directions
the past few years, the appeal of a logical application of a sound "bricks and
mortar" operation is returning. However, to lose sight of the potential value of
the Internet to the banking industry would be shortsighted. We are embracing the
opportunity to utilize the Internet as an online link to a myriad of products,
services and information for our customers. At the same time we are continuing
to emphasize what has distinguished us in our markets for years: individualized
high-quality service for our customers. We believe that a cohesive "marriage" of
the two approaches, an effective "bricks and clicks" with a sound community
orientation, will best serve our existing and future customers.

Over the past thirteen months we have opened six community banks, beginning with
Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque, opened in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Under the
leadership of Fred Bernson, this SBA bank has emerged as a significant addition
to the fabric of downtown Albuquerque. Its specialized strategy has brought with
it early-stage profitability.

In Henderson, Nevada, we opened Black Mountain Community Bank, with Pete
Atkinson as its president. The bank has exceeded our projections and is poised
to contribute to the profitability of our collective enterprise during the
course of this year.

In northern Indiana, we added Goshen Community Bank. With Goshen native Doug
Johnston at the helm, the bank was able to exercise the rare opportunity of
acquiring an existing bank facility thereby ensuring its recognition and
involvement within the Goshen community.



                   [TIMELINE OF BANK OPENINGS FROM 1992-2001]
<PAGE>
In Arizona, on the west side of the valley commonly recognized as Greater
Phoenix, Arlene Kulzer opened Arrowhead Community Bank in Glendale. This bank
occupies a new facility which is directly adjacent to the Arrowhead Shopping
Mall and is recognized as the first community bank opened in the Glendale,
Arizona market in more than a decade.

Yuma Community Bank opened in Yuma, Arizona, under the inexhaustible energies of
Katherine Brandon. The Bank successfully completed an aggressive organizational
effort even in the face of a competing organizational effort from another group
which had started several months before the Yuma effort began. The early success
of Yuma Community Bank's organizational effort suggests the potential success
that our bank should enjoy as a thriving member of the Yuma community.

In the second week of January 2001 we opened our first bank in California,
Sunrise Bank of San Diego. Jan Kassebaum's strategy for this bank is consistent
with the Sunrise Capital model relying heavily upon Small Business
Administration (SBA) lending. The Bank is located in the LaJolla market.

Another footnote to the past year must be set aside for the Bank of Tucson.
Chartered in 1996, Bank of Tucson, under the leadership of Michael Hannley, has
quickly become the standard bearer for all of our banks. Producing enviable
profitability levels that measure in at roughly 2% of assets and better than 27%
return on equity, the Bank has achieved performance objectives which are
currently unsurpassed by any institution within our affiliated group.

LOOKING FORWARD

In an age when many banking organizations are cost-cutting their way to earnings
growth, we take pride in our ability to demonstrate solid organic growth within
our system, coupled with a compelling earnings prognosis built upon the
development of community-oriented financial institutions. It is our expectation
that as both the market and the banking sector winds through the inevitable
economic and valuation cycles, investors will again return to those names that
are poised to deliver consistent, solid earnings expansion fueled by top-line
revenue growth. We are working diligently to position this organization among
those entities, and we believe that our 2000 earnings performance is a precursor
of things to come. With your continued support we are confident that we will be
successful. Together we can truly "unlock the potential" of your investment.

Five years ago our vision was to bring community banking and true customer
service back to Tucson after years of dislocation and frustration caused by "big
bank" mergers and acquisitions. No one could have foreseen the heartwarming
reception we have received nor the successes we have enjoyed.

Bank of Tucson has become a substantial resource for small businesses and
individuals throughout the city. Partnerships are at the core of the philosophy
that guides our Bank in the continuing development of all community sectors:
non-profit, cultural, academic and business.

As we begin a new century, we rededicate ourselves to the shared vision that is
our hallmark-treating you as a client, a partner and a friend. When it comes to
providing you with financial expertise and very personal service, Bank of Tucson
will be there.

In a brief nine months we have experienced great success and have become
Henderson's premier bank. Our growth has been extraordinary and people are
taking notice. The competition is justifiably looking over their shoulders. With
a seasoned staff and a supportive Board, our growth is being achieved with
quality customers who have been in Las Vegas for years.

Our neighborhood community, Sun City McDonald Ranch, is providing us with new
customers daily. It is our intention to be the bank of Sun City. We have made
great inroads into the medical community and our reputation as professional and
knowledgeable real estate lenders in the local area is being recognized as well.

Our goal is to provide the highest level of customer satisfaction in Nevada.
When we are successful in that pursuit, we will achieve our objective and
profits will follow. We will not grow for growth's sake, but instead we will
develop wisely without sacrificing our level of customer service nor our credit
quality.

Our banking culture touches the requisite disciplines of the past while we keep
our eyes focused on the opportunities of the future.

Banking the way you remember-with VISION.

www.brightoncommerce.com

As the only "local" bank in Brighton, we have attracted a significant number of
relationships including municipalities, professionals and locally-owned and
managed businesses that expect and appreciate personalized service by
experienced personnel.

This is the foundation of our business philosophy that has been carefully
nurtured in our four years of existence. Focus is placed on expedited responses
to loan and other requests because decisions are made locally by our
knowledgeable staff with our local Board of Directors.

As a benefit to our customers, we share with the other Capitol Bancorp family of
banks the operating economies and technological sophistication of centralized
data processing and accounting. For this reason, although we are a "local"
community bank, we can provide more services, including Internet banking, trust
and investment services.

We are experts in a number of areas including, but not limited to, construction
financing, business lending, residential mortgage lending and home equity
financing. At the same time we can entertain much larger loan requests than a
typical bank of our size and dimensions because of our affiliation with Capitol
Bancorp.

We take pride in operating as a "local" community bank with money center bank
capability.

Metropolitan Phoenix is known as the "Valley of the Sun." This reflects both the
quality of life and the "hot" economic environment we enjoy. Camelback Community
Bank is one of the fastest growing community banks in the Phoenix area. This is
the culmination of a focused strategy, hard work, opportunities created by
disruption in the large banks and substantial growth in both the number and
profitability of small-to-medium sized businesses.

There is no shortage of competition. As others recognize the same market
opportunities, a number of new community banks have sprung up in the Camelback
corridor. We are confident that the base of customers we have attracted over the
past three years will provide a solid foundation for our continued growth and
profitability. Our committed Board of Directors will assist us in retaining
these relationships.

Our greatest strength is our employees and their ability to provide innovative
solutions to meet our customers' needs. They are the cornerstone to our
continued growth and achievement.

The hallmark of Capitol National Bank, since opening in 1982, has been our
commitment to relationship banking. We deliver an unmatched level of highly
personalized banking in the greater Lansing market with a focus on providing
individually tailored financial services to businesses, professionals and
entrepreneurs. As the trend of mergers and acquisitions continues creating
fewer, but larger, impersonal financial institutions, Capitol National will
continue to see opportunities to increase our customer base. Since we enjoy the
distinction of being locally owned and managed, those opportunities translate
into associated profitability.

The directors and staff of Capitol National Bank participate in a broad range of
community service, donating time, talent and financial resources. We believe
that good corporate citizenship further enhances our opportunities for stronger,
long-lasting business relationships with our existing and prospective customers
in addition to benefiting our community.

I look forward to the future knowing that our employees' strong work ethic,
cooperative spirit, and dedication to our community will result in continued
success as both a well-run and well-respected bank.

www.desertcommunity.com

Desert Community Bank continues to experience phenomenal growth in customer
relationships, adding to our loan portfolio, and swelling our customer base to
over 1,000 relationships. Continuing to prudently focus on commercial loans,
including construction and real estate, we have been successful while helping
many new and growing businesses succeed. We have provided significant funding
for businesses operating within low-to-moderate income areas in our community,
helping to redevelop and stabilize older neighborhoods, as well as provide
capital for new developments in high growth areas.

As an affiliate of Nevada Community Bancorp, we have the flexibility to be small
in terms of personal service to each client, but large enough to meet the needs
of most small businesses through loan participations with our affiliate banks.

Through this proven, but unique, method of banking, Desert Community Bank has
exceeded what it had hoped to achieve in its first 16 months of operation. We
are continuing to develop and realize our potential. Keep watching. You'll be
impressed.

The Detroit Commerce Bank theme, "Small Bank, Big Service," is shared by our
employees and affiliated banks within the Capitol Bancorp system. This directly
benefits our customers by unleashing the myriad of banking possibilities and
opportunities in the Metropolitan Detroit area.

The launch of our new Internet banking site, www.detroitcommerce.com,
demonstrates the commitment to deliver competitive products at a competitive
price. Industry experts throughout our network of affiliated banks enable
Detroit Commerce Bank to provide each customer a window into the new economy. To
meet the needs of the Detroit community, the Detroit Commerce Bank staff
regularly participates in projects and conducts informative seminars designed to
give individuals access to our unique brand of service. Our dedicated
professionals clearly understand the value of teamwork and its impact on the
profitability of the Bank.

The Bank continues to foster a symbiotic relationship with the city. Later this
year, in connection with Detroit 300 Celebration, a program of activities
throughout the year commemorating Detroit's 300th birthday, the City will
dedicate a new public park. This new park, designed to bring more pedestrian
traffic into the city, will be located just steps away from Detroit Commerce
Bank. It should provide exciting marketing opportunities for us to showcase our
full array of products, especially our new Penobscot Building Checking Account!

East Valley Community Bank's dedication to community sets us apart from the
competition. Our senior management team, with over 150 years combined experience
in all phases of commercial banking, knows that geographic location alone does
not make us part of a community. People bank with people, not large
corporations.

A community is like a family, and our commitment to service has made us a part
of the Chandler, Arizona family, along with its surrounding communities, the
second fastest growing city in America.

We have continued our active involvement in the local Chambers of Commerce, Boys
and Girls Clubs, the YMCA, National Association of Women Business Owners and
Chandler Leadership. We are now the proud sponsor of the annual James R.
Snedigar Award, awarded to a local citizen for outstanding community service in
memory of Chandler's first police officer killed in the line of duty. Our team
has partnered with a local youth group, I.C.A.N. (Improving Chandler Area
Neighborhoods), and will be mentoring, tutoring and coaching interested young
men and women about the world of finance.

Our family is growing by leaps and bounds, and we will be rising to meet its
needs.

Elkhart Community Bank is poised to become the bank of choice for small
businesses in Elkhart, Indiana. Our downtown location provides easy
accessibility, further enhanced by our recently-implemented courier service.
This form of delivery makes us the most convenient bank in town for our business
clients who no longer have to leave their offices to make their daily deposits.

We also have Internet and telephone banking capabilities, in addition to
drive-through and ATM access. However, what separates us from the other banks in
town is the quality and accessibility of our people. We have two outstanding
commercial lenders, a mortgage lender and a talented staff of service
representatives, each of whom are experts at finding unique solutions to our
clients' individual banking needs. We pride ourselves on becoming trusted
advisors to our clients and putting the "relationship" back into banking.

The 21st century will see many changes in banking, and our small-bank-style
customer service combined with our large-bank-style sophistication, positions us
to be very competitive.

www.goshenbank.com

On September 29, 2000, Goshen Community Bank opened with great anticipation from
the local community and our shareholders. We devised a formula for success that
includes an excellent location, a talented staff with over 100 years of banking
experience, and a redesigned and refurbished building. Customers walk into a
lobby that is professional yet comfortable, and where coffee and homemade candy
(from my family's local candy store) are available.

The Bank's plan is to be profitable within 12 months of opening our doors. We
will accomplish profitability by drawing from the experience of our staff and
the executive support available at Capitol Bancorp. We will also rely on
directors, shareholders and customers for referrals, and will endeavor to
provide the best service of any bank in town. Focusing on the needs of our
community will also contribute to our success. We will strive to be involved
with events that further the advancement of the Goshen community.

The future promises to be an exciting one for Grand Haven Bank. With a

www.kentcommerce.com

Kent Commerce Bank is fortunate to be located in one of the most vibrant and
fastest growing economic centers in the Midwest. Southwest Michigan has
experienced tremendous expansion during our Bank's three years in operation, and
we have enjoyed the benefits of this growth through construction loans for
commercial buildings and new homes, plat developments and loans to local
businesses for new equipment and working capital. The Bank's location in
suburban southeast Grand Rapids puts us in the thick of the action in terms of
residential and industrial development.

Our Bank will be presented with continued opportunities for future growth.
Several large, long-standing, local banks are in the process of completing
mergers with regional mega-banks that will effectively move their management and
critical decision-making responsibilities out of Michigan. Many disenfranchised
customers of those banks will seek out the customer-focused, locally-managed
community bank of Kent Commerce. We are poised to meet these customers' needs
and we are excited about the possibilities.

In only a few short years, Macomb Community Bank has earned the trust of the

superior operational efficiencies and influence the quality of performance

Preparation creates opportunity.

How many times has a successful endeavor reflected such a simple formula? In
1998, Mesa Bank brought together a seasoned management team; a strong
community-oriented board of directors and a city in need of a local bank. The
result was an institution motivated by the spirit and vitality of its community.
Banking with the human touch is the theme at Mesa Bank. We are responding to the
needs of the community with business loans and residential and commercial
construction financing, in addition to home equity credit lines, home
improvement loans and consumer loans. Through strategic alliances, we are
providing a network of products and services ranging from equipment leasing to
trust and investment strategies.

The opportunity to serve our community continues to evolve. Mesa Bank is
prepared for, and eagerly awaits, the challenges of the future.

With little fanfare or advertising, Muskegon Commerce Bank has been able to
attract in excess of 5,000 accounts to our bank. We have accomplished this in
our first three years through a stable staff of employees who know our
customers. These talented individuals, along with our core group of directors,
have helped grow the Bank.

One of our Bank's niches is in the residential mortgage area. Of the dozens of
mortgage originators in the Muskegon area, we have consistently been one of the
top three in volume since our inception. We frequently outperform larger lending
institutions with our fast, friendly service and knowledge of construction
lending. We are well positioned to take advantage of both the strong economy and
growing housing market in Muskegon.

Our size gives us the ability to cater our combination of products and services
to the local business owners and home buyers who expect personal attention. Our
affiliation with the Capitol Bancorp family of banks allows us to offer the kind
of technological innovations that will keep us competitive in the future.

Oakland Commerce Bank has continuously worked at providing the best delivery
system possible for its products and services. Our affiliation with Capitol
Bancorp is a union that merges our commitment to provide the best service
possible with leading-edge technological and managerial support. We pride
ourselves in listening to our customers and being flexible while working toward
filling their deposit and account needs or designing customized loan products.

Banking mergers involving the larger banks in our marketplace have created voids
in the delivery of financial services to many small and medium-sized businesses.
Oakland Commerce Bank's entry into Internet banking has been well received by
our customers. As a result, we have received loan requests via this medium.
Internet services are key to establishing not only additional market awareness,
but penetration into an expanding pool of possible customers.

Portage Commerce Bank

Portage, MI 49002

www.portagecommerce.com

In 1988, a small group of local business people and a few dedicated banking
professionals embarked on a journey to establish Portage Commerce Bank in the
shadow of the bigger, impersonal banks operating in our community. With great
enthusiasm and a belief that customers prefer to do business the old-fashioned
way with bankers who are genuinely interested in their success, this vision is
realized daily as it has been since our beginning.

We continue to enjoy the benefits of our "old-fashioned" approach, as well as
new opportunities to expand our satisfied customer base as the consolidation in
our industry continues. At the same time, our ability to offer customers the
latest products and services, such as our new Internet banking capability, has
been made possible through our affiliation with the Capitol Bancorp family of
banks.

We will continue to strive to exceed our customers' expectations while
maintaining and building the personal relationships that have made us
successful.

Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque is a dynamic, fast growing and relationship-oriented
financial services institution that has positioned itself to continue to make
inroads into the changing New Mexico banking environment. We opened our doors in
April, 2000 as the second bank in the Sunrise Capital group that specializes in
government guaranteed Small Business Administration (SBA) and real estate loans.

Our customers, including small-to-medium size businesses and business
professionals, have come to realize that our commitment to servicing their
banking needs is our daily mission. Internet banking, e-commerce and additional
online capabilities, enable us to compete with regional banks on a system basis
while we continue to outperform our large competitors in every component of
customer service.

We chose a downtown location that allows us to serve the entire Albuquerque
market. The focus and commitment of both our directors and energetic staff,
through their activities within the community and their efforts on behalf of the
Bank, are driving our continued growth. They are, and will continue to be, the
key to our success.

The year 2000 saw Sunrise Bank of Arizona recognized as the Valley leader in
small business lending. Arizona Business Magazine named Sunrise, "Best Bank" and
"Best SBA Lender" in its annual ranking of Arizona's finest businesses. The
Southwestern Business Financing Corporation named Sunrise, "2000 Bank Of The
Year" and named our executive vice president, Ward Hickey, "2000 Banker of The
Year". Finally, Business Development Finance Corporation also named our chief
credit officer, Doug Reynolds, "2000 Banker of The Year".

These honors are directly attributable to the dedicated efforts of servicing our
customers. It is our customers, working with our professional staff, that are
the foundation for what promises to be another very exciting year for Sunrise.

Sunrise Bank of Arizona has also benefited from a close relationship with our
other affiliates. Referrals have increased dramatically as our affiliates have
recognized the advantage of utilizing Sunrise's SBA expertise as an added
service for their customers.

The tremendous momentum created by these awards and our close relationship with
our customers and affiliate banks makes it exciting to contemplate what lies in
store for Sunrise Bank of Arizona in the decades to come.

The old adage notes that the whole is greater than the sum of its individual
parts. This accurately describes our Sun Community family of banks, solidly
anchored in Scottsdale by Valley First. Entering our fourth full year of
operation, we are positioned to leverage our growing recognition as an emerging
community-minded institution. Valley First received an "Outstanding" rating
recognizing the Bank's results in serving the credit needs of its community. The
partnership with our sister banks affords us the opportunity to take a broader,
technologically-sophisticated approach to serving the banking needs of our
targeted markets. Through the efficiencies gained with common systems, and the
ability to participate in lending and deposit gathering activities, our Bank's
profitability is increased.

The metro Scottsdale area is a dynamic, rapidly growing market drawing many
entrepreneurs and small business owners to the Airpark and ancillary office
complexes. Valley First Community Bank is ready, willing, and able to continue
its leadership in the community banking market. We look forward to 2001 and
beyond.

Yuma Community Bank opened its doors for business on December 15, 2000. Raising
our capital took only nine weeks, reaffirming our belief that the community
wanted, and needed, a community bank.

Our staff of eight, collectively, has over 127 years of banking experience, all
in Yuma. They bring to our customers a wealth of banking knowledge and, more
importantly, the freedom and flexibility to service the customers in a way that
was often missing at the "big banks." We empower our staff with the authority to
be responsive to the needs of our customers. No "cookie-cutter" approach here.
Our directors embrace and support our philosophy of traditional community
banking values.

We anticipate a productive first year of tremendous growth, while establishing
relationships with customers who want a bank that responds to their needs. As a
full service bank, our seasoned bankers are ready to unleash their collective
creativity through personalized services, local decision-making and a desire to
be the best.

financial statements and all other information appearing in this annual report.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Capitol's management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining the

subsidiaries. The general objectives of the internal control structure are to
provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In fulfilling this
objective, management has various control procedures in place which include, but
are not limited to, review and approval of transactions, a code of ethical
conduct for employees, internal auditing and an annual audit of Capitol's
consolidated financial statements performed by a qualified independent audit
firm. Management believes the internal control structure of Capitol to be
adequate and that there are no material weaknesses in internal control.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained in this annual report that are not historical
facts are forward-looking statements. Those forward-looking statements, within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are subject
to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the

Capitol's efforts to implement its business strategy, (ii) changes in interest
rates, (iii) legislation or regulatory requirements adversely impacting
Capitol's banking business and/or expansion strategy, (iv) adverse changes in
business conditions or inflation, (v) general economic conditions, either
nationally or regionally, which are less favorable than expected and that result
in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and/or loan

institutions, (vii) changes in securities markets, (viii) actions of competitors
of Capitol's banks and Capitol's ability to respond to such actions, (ix) the

incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. All
subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to Capitol or
persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
foregoing factors. Investors and other interested parties are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on such statements, which speak as of the date of such
statements. Capitol undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions
to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the

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

Most of this section discusses items of importance regarding Capitol's financial
statements which appear elsewhere in this report. In order to obtain a full
understanding of this discussion, it is important to read it with those
financial statements. However, before discussing the financial statements and
related highlights, an introductory section includes some important background
information about the business of Capitol and its banks, Capitol's structure and
recent developments.

THE BUSINESS OF CAPITOL AND ITS BANKS

Capitol defines itself as a BANK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. In the highly regulated
business of banking, it is viewed by governmental agencies as a bank holding
company. Capitol views bank DEVELOPMENT as a much more dynamic activity than the
regulatory label for bank holding companies.

Bank development at Capitol is the business of mentoring, monitoring and
managing its investments in community banks. Bank development is also the
activity of adding new banks through start-up, or DE NOVO, formation or through
other affiliation efforts, such as acquiring existing banks.

The banks have similar characteristics:

     *    Each bank has an on-site president and management team, as local
          decision makers.
     *    Each bank has a local board of directors which has actual authority
          over the bank.
     *    Each bank generally operates from only one office location.
     *    Each bank can fully meet customers' needs anywhere, anytime through
          bankers-on-call, courier services, telephone banking and other
          delivery methods.
     *    Each bank has access to an efficient back-room processing facility and
          leading-edge technology through shared financial and operating
          resources.

Capitol's banks seek the profitable customer relationships which are often
displaced through mergers, mass marketing and megabanks with an impersonal
approach to handling customers. The banks are focused on commercial banking
activities, emphasizing business customers, although they also offer a complete
array of financial products and services.

Each bank has a separate charter. A bank charter is similar to articles of
incorporation and enables each bank to exist as a distinct legal entity. Most of
these banks are state-chartered, which means they are organized under a
particular state's banking laws. All of the banks are FDIC-insured, and some are
members of the Federal Reserve System. Banks are highly regulated by state and
federal agencies. Because each bank has its own charter, each bank is examined
by both state and federal agencies as a separate and distinct legal entity for
safety, soundness and compliance with banking laws and regulations.

At December 31, 2000, Capitol consisted of 26 community banks, operating in 6
states.

                                        6
<PAGE>
Capitol's bank development philosophy is one of "SHARED VISION", which
encompasses a commitment to community banking emphasizing local leadership and
investment, with the shared resources of efficient management. Capitol provides
these shared resources to its banks, including common data processing systems,
centralized item processing, loan review, internal audit, credit administration,
accounting and risk management.

CAPITOL'S STRUCTURE

The organizational structure of Capitol is very complex. It is a mixture of
banks which Capitol owns directly and others which are owned indirectly through
subsidiary bank development companies. Additionally, Capitol's direct and
indirect ownership percentages of these entities differ.

To simplify the overall organizational structure, Capitol's bank development
activity may be viewed on these levels:

                             Capitol Bancorp Limited
                           (Bank Development Company)

                     Bank Development          Bank Development

Great Lakes regional bank development currently consists of activity in the
states of Michigan and Indiana. Capitol's 11 Michigan banks range in age from
two years to 18 years. Their size varies from $30 million in assets to $242
million. These banks are all located in dynamic markets across the lower
peninsula of Michigan in a band about 180 miles wide and 75 miles north and
south from that line, in Michigan's most populous and active economic region. Of
these banks, 9 were begun as start-up operations and 2 were added via
acquisitions:

Indiana Community Bancorp is 52% owned by Capitol and was formed in 1999 to
focus on developing banks in Indiana. Its first bank, Elkhart Community Bank, is
51% owned by that bank development company and opened in September 1999. Its
second bank, Goshen Community Bank, opened in September 2000 and is 51% owned by
Indiana Community Bancorp. Total assets of Indiana Community Bancorp were about
$33 million at year-end 2000 ($12 million at year-end 1999).

Sun Community Bancorp has become a particularly significant part of Capitol's
overall bank development strategy. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, it is a
public company which is carrying out all of its current bank development
activities in the southwestern region of the United States.

Yuma Community Bank, opened in December 2000. These banks range in size from
about $5 million in assets to $98 million at year-end 2000. Five of the banks
are located in or near greater Phoenix and two are located in Tucson.

Bank development activities in Nevada are carried out through Nevada Community
Bancorp Limited, which is 54% owned by Sun, and was formed in 1999:

Both of the Las Vegas banks opened in the second half of 1999 and the third bank
opened in March 2000. Nevada's consolidated total assets approximated $106
million at year-end 2000 ($34 million at year-end 1999).

Sunrise Capital Corporation was formed in 1999 and is approximately 60% owned by
Sun at year-end 2000. It is focused on developing banks in several states with a
slightly different emphasis on commercial lending than the other bank affiliates
of Capitol and Sun. Its banks are focused on offering loan products structured
through and partially guaranteed by the SBA, or U.S. Small Business
Administration, in addition to the full array of typical bank products and
services:

In 2000, a loan production office of Sunrise Bank of Arizona was established in
San Diego, California. It subsequently evolved into Sunrise Bank of San Diego,
which opened in early January 2001.

All of the banks and subsidiary bank development companies are combined, or
consolidated, for financial reporting purposes because Capitol has ownership
control of them either directly or indirectly. Current accounting rules require
consolidated reporting when one entity has majority voting control of another.
The reporting entity is the parent organization and entities which are
majority-owned by the parent are subsidiaries. In the circumstances of Capitol,
this parent and subsidiary relationship applies also to second and third tier
subsidiaries which have consolidated subsidiaries of their own.

The accounting rules in this area are also complex and further complicate
gaining an understanding of the consolidated financial statements. For example,
consolidated balance sheets include all of the combined entities' assets and
liabilities, with an adjustment for the percentage of ownership of the minority
shareholders. On the other hand, consolidated net income includes all of the
combined entities, but only to the extent of the parent's ownership percentage.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Because of the number of banks and bank development companies added in 2000,
1999 and 1998, comparing financial results for those and prior periods is
difficult.

In 2000, a total of five new banks were added to the consolidated group. In
1999, four new banks were added. In 1998, there were six new banks added to the
group. As mentioned above, one new bank was added in early January 2001.

Management expects that at least two applications for permission to form new
banks will be filed in 2001.

                                        9
<PAGE>
In early 2000, Capitol announced augmenting its bank development activities to
include a more focused and proactive acquisition strategy whereby it may add
banks in two ways in the future--through startup or acquisition. As of year-end
2000 and early 2001, no acquisitions of existing entities were pending. Future
acquisition possibilities--if any--will depend upon market opportunities and
economic conditions, among other things.

BANKING TECHNOLOGY AT CAPITOL

The use of high technology banking systems is key to the delivery of accurate
and timely customer service. Capitol currently operates two data processing
sites, located in Lansing, Michigan and Tempe, Arizona. The Lansing site handles
item processing for the banks located in the Great Lakes region, while the Tempe
data center processes all activity for the banks located in the Southwest. Both
sites use mainframe computers and software which are nearly identical. While
physically separate, both sites function under common management and leadership.
Implementation of Internet-based banking capabilities was accomplished in 2000.

2000 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Capitol completed 2000 with total assets exceeding $1.6 billion, an increase of
25% over year-end 1999's level of $1.3 billion.

Net Income for 2000 exceeded $8.0 million, nearly 50% more than 1999's operating
earnings of $5.4 million.

CHANGES IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION

Total assets have grown significantly from $1 billion at the end of 1998, to
over $1.6 billion at year-end 2000. This rapid asset growth is the result of
adding new banks and the ongoing growth and evolution of Capitol's more mature
banks.

At year-end 2000, total assets of the five banks formed in 2000 approximated $67
million. The banks formed in 1999 reported total assets of $138 million at the
end of 2000, an increase of $83 million during the year. Total assets of the six
banks which became two years old in 2000 grew 49% during the past year to $266
million. The three banks formed in 1997 continued strong asset growth of 19% in
2000, achieving total assets of $177 million. The most mature group of banks,
those formed before 1997, reported total assets of $971 million at year-end
2000, an increase of about 7% for the year.

Most of the consolidated assets consist of loans. Portfolio loans approximated
$1.4 billion at year-end 2000, or about 83% of total consolidated assets, an
increase from the 80% at year-end 1999.

The banks emphasize commercial loans, consistent with their focus on serving
small to mid-sized business customers. The majority of commercial loans are
secured by real estate. Commercial loans comprise $1.2 billion or 87% of total
portfolio loans at year-end 2000, an increase in the 83% ratio at the end of
1999. Loan growth in 2000 was significant--$307 million,

                                       11
<PAGE>
or a growth rate of 29%, for the year. The pace of loan growth in 2000 was less
than the 45% growth rate experienced in 1999 due to the maturity of the larger
banks within the consolidated group.

Asset quality has remained strong in this record period of economic stability
and expansion. Nonperforming loans, which consist of loans more than 90 days
past due and loans on nonaccrual status, approximated $6.8 million at year-end
2000, compared to $4.1 million at the end of 1999. The increase in 2000 was
mainly due to a small number of commercial loans becoming past due or loans on
nonaccrual status. Foreclosed real estate, which approximated $3.1 million at
December 31, 2000 ($3.6 million in 1999), is classified as a component of other
assets and consists primarily of one property which has a substantial guarantee
from a federal agency. Although the aggregate amount of nonperforming assets
increased, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and total assets
remained about the same in 2000 compared to 1999.

The banks maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb estimated losses in
the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2000, the
allowance for loan losses approximated $17.4 million or 1.29% of portfolio
loans, compared to $12.6 million or 1.20% at the end of 1999. The following
table summarizes portfolio loans, the allowance for loan losses and its ratio,
and nonperforming loans (in $1,000s):

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management. It is analyzed quarterly by each bank. The adequacy of the allowance
is based on evaluation of the loan portfolio (including volume, amount and
composition, potential impairment of individual loans and concentration of
credit), past loss experience, current economic conditions, loan commitments
outstanding, regulatory requirements and other factors.

In 2000, standard-setting bodies, regulatory agencies and the SEC (Securities
and Exchange Commission) have, on an industry-wide basis, separately issued
proposals on how the allowance for loan losses should be estimated in the
future. Some of these proposals conflict with each other and it is difficult to
predict how such proposals, however finalized, will impact the financial
institution industry, individual banks and bank holding companies. Estimation of
requirements for the allowance for loan losses is an inherently subjective
process which involves significant judgement by management of many variables
potentially impacting borrowers' ability to repay loans and the estimated values
of underlying loan collateral.

The allowance ratio decreased in 1998 and 1999, mainly due to the addition of
new banks to the consolidated group. New banks, as a condition of charter
approval, are required to maintain an allowance ratio of not less than 1% for
their first three years of operations. Because they are new banks with new and
unseasoned loans and no prior loss history, 1% is often used as a starting point
for the allowance, particularly in the earliest years of operation. As some of
the younger banks now have more seasoned loan portfolios and the 1% regulatory
requirement represents only an absolute minimum, loan loss allowance ratios were
increased in 2000 based on management's estimates of loss potential within the
loan portfolios at the balance-sheet date.

In addition to the recorded allowance, some Michigan and Indiana banks have
loans which are enrolled in state-sponsored programs which provide supplemental
loss protection through earmarked deposits kept at the participating banks by
the applicable state agency. Loans in this program totaled $34 million at both
year-end 2000 and 1999 and the amount of the loss reserves available for those
loans approximated $1.6 million in 2000 and $2 million in 1999.

In late 2000, the state agency administering the Michigan program announced its
plans to terminate the program. In early 2001, the future of the program
appeared uncertain. In the event that the program is terminated, loans
previously enrolled in the program and related reserves would continue until the
underlying loans are repaid, but no new loans would be enrolled in the program.
While this program has been important to Capitol's Michigan banks, termination
of the program is not expected to have a material adverse affect on those banks'
lending activities in the future. The termination of the program, if it occurs,
will adversely affect the future availability of credit for those borrowers who
otherwise would have been eligible for enrollment in the program.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue growth has been significant. In 2000, total revenues exceeded $138.4
million, a 41% increase over the 1999 revenue level of $98.3 million. The
primary revenue source is interest income from loans. Net interest income is the
difference between total interest income and interest expense on deposits and
borrowings. The following graphs summarize growth in total revenue (which
includes noninterest income revenues like some fees and service charges) and net
interest income:

                                 Total Revenues

                    1996      1997      1998      1999      2000

                               Net Interest Income

                    1996      1997      1998      1999      2000
                    ----      ----      ----      ----      ----
                    18.7      24.7      33.0      47.4      66.4

Most of the 2000 revenues, $88 million or about 63%, came from the most mature
banks--those formed prior to 1997. That group experienced revenue growth of 18%
in 2000 and about 16% in 1999. Banks formed in 1998 and 1997 reported 2000
revenues of $36 million or slightly more than 25% of the consolidated total.
Rates of 2000 revenue growth for banks started in 1997 were 40% and, for the
ones started in 1998, approximately 86%. The youngest banks, those formed in
2000 and 1999, generated 2000 revenues totaling $12 million or about 8% of total
consolidated revenues.

Growth in the categories of interest income and interest expense as well as
noninterest income and noninterest expense, is the result of the addition of new
banks during the periods presented and the ongoing growth of Capitol's more
mature banks. Growth in interest expense is mainly due to higher levels of
interest-bearing funds which fund growth at each of the banks, coupled with
recent increases in interest rates.

The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits,
which has increased significantly due to the larger number of banks and bank
development subsidiaries.

Provisions for loan losses also increased significantly during recent years,
commensurate with the growth in both the number of banks and loans, in addition
to higher levels of loan charge-offs.

During 1999, a new accounting standard required the write-off of previously
capitalized start-up costs, which is discussed in a later section of this
narrative. It is reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle in the consolidated statement of income, and amounted to $.03 per
share.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Liquidity for financial institutions consists of cash and cash equivalents,
marketable investment securities and loans held for resale. These categories
totaled $226 million at year-end 2000, or about 14% of total assets. This
compares to $216 million or 17% of total assets at year-end 1999.

Liquidity varies significantly daily, based on customer activity. The change in
the liquidity ratio is the result of more assets being deployed into loans,
consistent with the strategy of maximizing interest income. Rates of interest
income on liquid assets are typically less than rates the banks achieve from
commercial loans.

Most of the investment securities portfolio is classified as available for sale,
although the banks generally have not sold investments to meet liquidity needs.
Also, to the extent warranted, the banks may sell loans from time to time.

The primary source of funds for the banks is deposits. The banks emphasize
interest-bearing time deposits as part of their funding strategy. The banks also
seek noninterest-bearing deposits, or checking accounts, which reduce the banks'
cost of funds. Noninterest-bearing deposits were about 15% of total deposits at
year-end 2000 and increased $62 million, or 42%, during the year.

In recent periods, banks in general have experienced some competitive challenges
in obtaining additional deposits to fuel growth. Capitol's banks have had
similar experiences in their individual markets. As depositors have wider access
to the Internet and other real-time interest rate monitoring resources, deposit
pricing has become more competitive. Deposit growth is achievable, but at a
higher price, shrinking net interest margins. The banks utilize deposit brokers
from time to time, but do not rely on brokered deposits as a key funding source.

To supplement their funding sources, some of the banks have obtained lines of
credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank system. At year-end 2000, a total of $40
million ($16 million at year-end 1999) was borrowed under those facilities and
additional borrowing availability approximated $19 million. Some of the banks
also have smaller lines of credit with their correspondent banks. Borrowings
under these facilities are generally at short-term market rates of interest and,
although the repayment dates can be extended, are generally outstanding for
brief periods of time.

Capitol has lines of credit aggregating $35 million from an unaffiliated bank.
At year-end 2000, a total of $18.2 million ($29.9 million at year-end 1999) was
borrowed under this facility. Borrowings under this credit facility were reduced
in 2000 through use of idle corporate funds within the consolidated group.

A significant source of capital has been investments provided by minority
shareholders in the subsidiaries which are consolidated for financial reporting
purposes. Total minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries amounted to
$62.6 million at year-end 2000, an increase of $8 million from the $54.6 million
level at year-end 1999. These minority interests approximated $27.6 million at
the end of 1998. The increases in these periods are the result of Capitol's
strategy of starting new banks and bank development companies with less than
100% ownership by Capitol. The 1999 increase also includes the impact of Sun's
initial public offering of common stock.

Three of the majority-owned banks became 100% owned in 2000. When these banks
neared their 36th month of operation, Capitol offered the minority owners an
opportunity to exchange their bank shares for shares of Capitol. The exchange
ratio was based on 150% of the banks' adjusted book value. Brighton Commerce
Bank's share exchange transaction was completed effective January 31, 2000.
Share exchange transactions for Kent Commerce Bank and Muskegon Commerce Bank
were completed effective December 31, 2000. As a result of the share exchanges,
the minority owners of those three banks became shareholders of Capitol. About
626,000 new shares of Capitol's common stock were issued in these transactions.

While it is likely that similar share exchange transactions, as a
harvest-strategy to gain full ownership of some bank subsidiaries, may occur in
the future, any such transactions depend upon whether Capitol (or one of its
subsidiary bank holding companies) offers such an exchange and whether minority
shareholders vote in favor of it on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

As mentioned previously, Capitol announced expansion of its bank development
strategy in 2000 to include a more specific consideration of acquisition
opportunities. Future acquisitions, if any, are likely to be structured as share
exchange transactions, using Capitol's common stock.

Total stockholders' equity approximated $70.4 million at year-end 2000, an
increase of $15.7 million for the year. The 2000 increase in stockholders'
equity includes earnings (less dividends paid) and proceeds from the issuance of
common stock. The book value per share of common stock was $9.18 at year-end
2000, compared with $8.08 at year-end 1999. Cash dividends of $.36 were paid in
both 2000 and 1999, compared to $.33 in 1998. Future payment of dividends is
subject to approval by Capitol's board of directors and management's assessment
of the consolidated organization's capital adequacy. In early 2001, Capitol
announced an increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $.10 per share.

Capitol's capital structure consists of these primary elements:

     *    Trust preferred securities,
     *    Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, and
     *    Stockholders' equity.

Total capitalization at year-end 2000 amounted to $157.3 million or 9.7% of
total assets. This compares to $133.6 million or 10.2% at year-end 1999.

Capitol and each of its banks and bank development subsidiaries are subject to a
complex series of regulatory rules and requirements which require specific
levels of capital adequacy at both the bank level and on a consolidated basis.
Under those rules and regulations, banks are categorized as well capitalized,
adequately capitalized or inadequately capitalized using several ratio
measurements, including a risk-weighting approach to assets and financial
commitments. Banks falling into the inadequately capitalized category are
subject to the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act,
which can result in significant regulatory agency intervention and other adverse
action. Although it is permissible to maintain capital adequacy at the
adequately capitalized level, Capitol operates with the objective of its banks
meeting the WELL CAPITALIZED standard. The well capitalized banks benefit from
lower FDIC deposit insurance costs and less restrictive limitations on some
banking activities.

New banks, as a condition of regulatory charter approval, are required to
maintain higher ratios of capital adequacy. Generally, they are required to keep
a ratio of capital-to-total-assets of not less than 8% during their first three
years of operation.

In the opinion of management, all of the affiliated banks met the criteria to be
classified as WELL CAPITALIZED at year-end 2000.

TRENDS AFFECTING OPERATIONS

The most significant trends which can impact the financial condition and results
of operations of financial institutions are changes in market rates of interest
and changes in general economic conditions.

Changes in interest rates, either up or down, have an impact on net interest
income (plus or minus), depending on the direction and timing of such changes.
At any point in time, there is an imbalance between interest rate-sensitive
assets and interest rate-sensitive liabilities. This means that when interest
rates change, the timing and magnitude of the effect of such interest rate
changes can alter the relationship between asset yields and the cost of funds.
This timing

                                       18
<PAGE>
difference between interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive
liabilities is characterized as a "gap" which is quantified by the distribution
of rate-sensitive amounts within various time periods in which they reprice or
mature. The following table summarizes the consolidated financial position in
relation to "gap" at December 31, 2000 (in $1,000s):

The "gap" changes daily based upon changes in the underlying assets and
liabilities at the banks. Analyzing exposure to interest rate risk is prone to
imprecision because the "gap" is constantly changing, the "gap" differs at each
of the banks, and it is difficult to predict the timing, amount and direction of
future changes in market interest rates and the potential corresponding effect
on customer behavior.

                                       19

The banks endeavor to manage and monitor interest rate risk in concert with
market conditions and risk parameters. Management strives to maintain a
reasonably balanced position of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities.
The banks have not engaged in speculative positions, for example, through the
use of derivatives, in anticipation of interest rate movements. In periods of
relatively lower interest rates, the banks emphasize variable rate loans and
time deposits to the extent possible in a competitive environment; however,
competitive influences often result in making fixed rate loans, although the
banks seek to limit the duration of such loans. Similarly, low interest rates
generally make competition more intense for deposits, since loan demand will
typically increase during periods of lower rates and, accordingly, result in
higher interest costs on deposits as competitors bid-up rates, adversely
impacting interest margins. Future interest rates and the impact on earnings are
difficult to predict. In addition to interest rate risk relating to
interest-bearing assets and liabilities, changes in interest rates also can
impact future transaction volume of loans and deposits at the banks. For
activities which are influenced by levels of interest rates for transaction
volume (for example, origination of residential mortgage loans), pricing margins
and demand can become impacted significantly by changes in interest rates.

As a means of monitoring and managing exposure to interest rate risk, management
uses a computerized simulation model which is intended to estimate pro forma
effects of changes in interest rates. Using the simulation model, the following
table illustrates, on a consolidated basis, changes which would occur in annual
levels of interest income, interest expense and net interest income (in $1,000s)
assuming both one hundred and two hundred basis point ("bp") parallel increases
and decreases in interest rates:

The pro forma analysis above is intended to quantify theoretical changes in
interest income based on stated assumptions. The pro forma analysis excludes the
effect of numerous other variables such as borrowers' ability to repay loans,
the ability of banks to obtain deposits in a radically changed interest-rate
environment and how management would revise its asset and liability management
priorities in concert with rate changes.

In January 2001, the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board
decreased interbank interest rates on two separate dates, for a total decrease
of 100 basis points. While the pro forma analysis above is intended to estimate
the impact of an immediate 100 and 200 basis point change in rates, actual
results will be different. Those results will differ (and may be materially
different) because a sudden rate change in market rates does not result in an
instantaneous parallel shift in rates on loans and deposits at banks. Further,
any financial model intended to estimate the impact of interest rate changes
will not necessarily incorporate other variables, including management's efforts
to manage its asset and liability interest rate sensitivity, nor customer
behavior.

General economic conditions also have a significant impact on both the results
of operations and the financial condition of financial institutions. Economic
conditions nationally and in the banks' local markets have remained relatively
stable and positive. Local economic conditions, and to some extent national
economic conditions, have a significant impact on levels of loan demand as well
as the ability of borrowers to repay loans and the availability of funds for
customers to make deposits. Throughout 2000, 1999 and 1998, the U.S. economy
continued to prosper in what has developed into the longest peacetime economic
expansion in history. With worldwide economic conditions currently unstable, the
continued duration of the current economic expansion period in the United States
is questionable.

Continuing consolidation of the banking industry on a national basis, and in the
markets of Capitol's banks, has presented opportunities for growth. As a result
of consolidation of the banking industry, coupled with the closure of branch
locations by larger institutions and the conversion of customer relationships
into perceived `commodities' by the larger banks, many customer relationships
have been displaced, generating opportunities for development by Capitol's
banks. For many retail customers, banking services have become a commodity in an
environment that is dominated by larger mega-bank or mass-merchandising
institutions. For the professional, entrepreneur and other customers seeking a
more service-oriented, customized banking relationship, Capitol's banks fill
that need through their focus on single-location banks with full, local
decision-making authority. As the banks focus on service delivery and keeping
their size at a manageable level, only a modest market share of deposits and
loan activity is necessary to achieve profitability and investor-oriented
earnings performance.

Start-up banks generally incur operating losses during their early periods of
operations. Recently-formed start-up banks will detract from consolidated
earnings performance and additional start-up banks formed in 2001 and beyond
will similarly negatively impact short-term profitability. On a consolidated
basis, such operating losses reduce net income by the pro rata share of
Capitol's ownership percentage in those banks. When those banks become
profitable, their operating results will contribute to consolidated earnings to
the extent of Capitol's ownership percentage.

Commercial banks continue to be subject to significant regulatory requirements
which impact current and future operations. In addition to the extent of
regulatory interaction with financial institutions, extensive rules and
regulations governing lending activities, deposit gathering and capital adequacy
(to name a few), translate into a significant cost burden of financial
institution regulation. Such costs include the significant amount of management
time and expense which is incurred in maintaining compliance and developing
systems for compliance with those rules and regulations as well as the cost of
examinations, audits and other compliance activities. The future of financial
institution regulation, and its costs, is uncertain and difficult to predict.

Premiums for FDIC insurance have historically been a significant cost of doing
business as financial institutions, but in recent years, deposit insurance
premiums have been maintained at a stable and modest level. Future deposit
insurance premium levels are difficult to predict inasmuch as deposit insurance
premiums will be determined based on general economic conditions, the relative
health of the banking and financial institution industry and other unpredictable
factors. It is reasonable to expect that deposit insurance premiums may increase
at some point in the future.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

No significant new accounting standards became applicable to Capitol during
2000.

FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" requires all derivatives to be recognized in financial statements
and to be measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in
fair value would be included in income, or other comprehensive income, depending
on whether the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting and the type of hedging
instrument involved. This new accounting standard, as amended in June 1999, will
become effective in 2001 and, because Capitol and its banks have not typically
entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for
speculative purposes, will not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated
financial statements.

Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,"
requires start-up costs and organizational costs to be charged to expense when
incurred. The initial application of the statement required a cumulative effect
adjustment for those companies that had previously capitalized start-up and
organizational costs and became effective in 1999. Implementation of this new
standard has been reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as of
January 1, 1999, resulting in a one-time charge of $.03 per share in the
consolidated statement of income.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently
under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies.
Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards,
management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards
would be material to Capitol's financial statements in future periods.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Capitol Bancorp Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capitol Bancorp
Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capitol Bancorp Ltd.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

In accordance with a new accounting standard, as more fully described in Note B
to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation changed its method of
accounting for start-up and organization costs effective January 1, 1999.

Consolidated subsidiaries of Sun are majority-owned by Sun (ranging from 51% to
100%). Sun is the majority owner of Nevada Community Bancorp and Sunrise Capital
Corporation which each have majority-owned bank subsidiaries. Sun became a
public company in 1999 through an initial public offering of common stock
approximating $25 million, of which Capitol invested $13 million.

Brighton Commerce Bank, Kent Commerce Bank and Muskegon Commerce Bank,
previously majority-owned subsidiaries, became wholly-owned by the Corporation
in 2000 through share exchange transactions with their respective minority
shareholders.

NOTE A--NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF
        CONSOLIDATION--CONTINUED

Capitol and its subsidiaries are engaged in a single business activity--banking.
The bank affiliates provide a full range of banking services to individuals,
businesses and other customers located in their respective communities. Each of
the banks generally operate from a single location and focus their activities on
meeting the various credit and other banking needs of entrepreneurs,
professionals and other high net worth individuals. A variety of deposit
products are offered, including checking, savings, money market, individual
retirement accounts and certificates of deposit. In addition, trust and
investment services are offered through Paragon Bank & Trust. The principal
markets for the banks' financial services are the communities in which they are
located and the areas immediately surrounding those communities. In addition to
commercial banking units, mortgage banking activities are offered through Amera
Mortgage Corporation, a 49% owned affiliate, and Sun Community Mortgage Company,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Tucson.

Each bank is viewed by management as being a separately identifiable business or
segment from the perspective of monitoring performance and allocation of
financial resources. Although the banks operate independently and are managed
and monitored separately, each bank is substantially similar in terms of
business focus, type of customers, products and services. Further, each of the
banks and the Corporation are subject to substantially similar laws and
regulations unique to the banking industry. Accordingly, the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements reflect the presentation of segment
information on an aggregated basis.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation
and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts
and transactions, and after giving effect to applicable minority interests.
Banks formed during 1998, 1999 and 2000 are included in the consolidated
financial statements for periods after joining the consolidated group. Certain
1999 and 1998 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000
presentation.

NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ESTIMATES: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand,
amounts due from banks (interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing) and federal
funds sold. Generally, federal funds transactions are entered into for a one-day
period.

NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

LOANS HELD FOR RESALE: Loans held for resale represent residential real estate
mortgage loans held for sale into the secondary market. Loans held for resale
are stated at the aggregate lower of cost or market.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Investment securities available for sale (generally most
debt securities investments of Capitol's banks) are carried at market value with
unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity, net of tax effect (accumulated other comprehensive income). All other
investment securities are classified as held for long-term investment and are
carried at amortized cost which approximates market value (see Note C).
Investments are classified at the date of purchase based on management's
analysis of liquidity and other factors. The adjusted cost of the specific
securities sold is used to compute realized gains or losses. Premiums and
discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the
period to maturity.

LOANS, CREDIT RISK AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: Portfolio loans are carried at
their principal balance based on management's intent and ability to hold such
loans for the foreseeable future until maturity or repayment.

Credit risk arises from making loans and loan commitments in the ordinary course
of business. Substantially all portfolio loans are made to borrowers in the
banks' geographic areas. Consistent with the banks' emphasis on business
lending, there are concentrations of credit in loans secured by commercial real
estate, equipment and other business assets. The maximum potential credit risk
to Capitol, without regard to underlying collateral and guarantees, is the total
of loans and loan commitments outstanding. Management reduces Capitol's exposure
to losses from credit risk by requiring collateral and/or guarantees for loans
granted and by monitoring concentrations of credit, in addition to recording
provisions for loan losses and maintaining an allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb estimated losses in the portfolio at the balance sheet
date. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on
evaluation of the portfolio (including potential impairment of individual loans
and concentrations of credit), past loss experience, current economic
conditions, volume, amount and composition of the loan portfolio, loan
commitments outstanding and other factors. The allowance is increased by
provisions charged to operations and reduced by net charge-offs.

INTEREST AND FEES ON LOANS: Interest income on loans is recognized based upon
the principal balance of loans outstanding. Fees from origination of portfolio
loans approximate related costs incurred.

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED


NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days
past due as to interest. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest
previously accrued (but unpaid) is reversed. Management may elect to continue
the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is
sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest and the loan is
in process of collection.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Premises and equipment are stated on the basis of cost.
Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method based upon
estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are
generally depreciated over the respective lease term.

EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS OF ACQUIRED SUBSIDIARIES: Goodwill is amortized
on a straight-line basis over various periods not to exceed 15 years. Management
periodically reviews long-lived assets, including associated goodwill, for
potential impairment based upon projected undiscounted net cash flows, when
applicable, and the related amortization periods.

OTHER REAL ESTATE: Other real estate (included as a component of other assets
and which, at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximated $3,094,000 and $3,614,000,
respectively) comprises properties acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties held for sale are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value (net of estimated selling
cost) at the date acquired and are periodically reviewed for subsequent
impairment.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: No stock-based compensation expense is recorded upon
granting of stock options because such stock options are accounted for under the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25 and are granted at an
exercise price equal to the market price of common stock at grant date. Pro
forma disclosure of alternative accounting recognition is made in Note J.

TRUST ASSETS AND RELATED INCOME: Customer property, other than funds on deposit,
held in a fiduciary or agency capacity by Capitol's banks is not included in the
consolidated balance sheet because it is not an asset of the banks or Capitol.
Trust fee income is recorded on the accrual method.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Capitol and subsidiaries owned 80% or more by Capitol file
a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are recognized
for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted tax rates
applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The
effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income is the sum of net income and certain
other items which are charged or credited to stockholders' equity. For the
periods presented, Capitol's only element of comprehensive income other than net
income was the net change in the market value adjustment for investment
securities available for sale. Accordingly, the elements and total of
comprehensive income are shown within the statement of changes in stockholders'
equity presented herein.

COSTS OF START-UP ACTIVITIES: In 1998, the American Institute of CPAs issued
Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,"
requires start-up costs and organizational costs to be charged to expense when
incurred. In the circumstances of Capitol and its banks, this new accounting
standard applies to previously capitalized preopening and other start-up costs
of its bank subsidiaries which, net of amortization, approximated $1,149,000 at
December 31, 1998 and were classified as a component of other assets in the
consolidated balance sheet. Implementation of this standard is reflected as a
cumulative effect of an accounting change at January 1, 1999 (net of impact of
minority interests and income tax effect).

NOTE D--LOANS--CONTINUED

Certain commercial loans in Michigan and Indiana are enrolled in state-sponsored
loan programs. Under those programs, the governmental unit shares loss exposure
on such loans by funding reserves, which are placed as deposits at the banks.
Loans participating in these programs and related reserves approximated
$33,513,000 and $1,609,000, respectively, at December 31, 2000 ($34,254,000 and
$1,966,000, respectively, at December 31, 1999). Such reserve amounts are
separate and excluded from the allowance for loan losses. The Michigan agency
announced, in late 2000, its plans to terminate the loan program in 2001. If the
Michigan program is terminated, loans previously enrolled in the program and
related reserves will continue until those loans are repaid.

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, impaired loans (i.e., loans for which there is a
reasonable probability that borrowers would be unable to repay all principal and
interest due under the contractual terms of the loan documents) were not
material.

NOTE E--RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, Capitol's banking subsidiaries make loans to
officers and directors of Capitol and its subsidiaries including their immediate
families and companies in which they are principal owners. At December 31, 2000
and 1999, total loans to these persons were $66.1 million and $65.1 million,
respectively. During 2000, $52.4 million of new loans were made to these persons
and repayments totaled $51.4 million. Such loans are made at the banking
subsidiaries' normal credit terms.

Such officers and directors of Capitol (and their associates, family and/or
affiliates) are also depositors of the banking subsidiaries. Such deposits are
similarly made at the banks' normal terms as to interest rate, term and deposit
insurance.

Short-term borrowings from a Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) represent advances
secured by certain portfolio residential real estate mortgage loans and other
eligible collateral, which approximated $40 million at December 31, 2000. Such
advances become due at varying dates and bear interest at market short-term
rates (approximately 6.04% at December 31, 2000). At December 31, 2000, unused
lines of credit under these facilities approximated $18.8 million.

NOTE H--DEBT OBLIGATIONS--CONTINUED

Notes payable to unaffiliated bank represents borrowings under lines of credit.
Up to $35 million can be borrowed pursuant to a one-year revolving credit
agreement which bears interest at a rate slightly less than prime rate
(effectively a weighted average rate of 9% at December 31, 2000), payable
monthly. The credit facility is reviewed annually for continuance and requires
Capitol, among other things, to maintain certain minimum levels of capital,
rates of return on assets and other ratios or requirements and is secured by the
common stock of certain bank subsidiaries. Interest paid under this credit
facility approximated $1,475,000 in 2000, $1,506,000 in 1999 and $5,000 in 1998.

NOTE I--TRUST-PREFERRED SECURITIES

In 1997, Capitol and a subsidiary (Capitol Trust I) completed a public offering
of trust-preferred securities. Under the terms of the offering, Capitol Trust I
(of which Capitol owns 100% of the common interests of the Trust) issued
2,530,000 shares of preferred securities, $10 liquidation amount per preferred
security. Gross proceeds from the offering aggregated $25.3 million. Upon
receipt of the proceeds of the offering, Capitol Trust I purchased subordinated
debentures of Capitol of like amount, which bear interest at 8.5% payable
quarterly and which mature in 2027 (which may be extended to 2036 if certain
conditions are met) and are callable after 2002. The liquidation amount of the
trust-preferred securities is guaranteed by Capitol.

Interest paid to the Trust by Capitol (which is recorded as interest expense in
its consolidated financial statements) is distributed by the Trust to the
holders of the trust-preferred securities. Under certain conditions, Capitol may
defer payment of interest on the subordinated debentures for periods of up to
five years.

Because Capitol Trust I is a subsidiary (due to Capitol's ownership of the
common interests of the Trust), Capitol Trust I is consolidated for financial
reporting purposes. The amount of outstanding trust-preferred securities (net of
issuance costs which are being amortized over the life of the securities) is
classified between liabilities and equity in Capitol's consolidated balance
sheet. Under current regulatory guidelines, such trust-preferred securities are
included as capital for purposes of meeting certain ratio requirements.

NOTE J--COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS

Stock options have been granted to certain officers and directors which provide
for the purchase of shares of common stock. Generally, stock options are granted
at an exercise price equal to the fair value of common stock on the grant date,
expire seven years after grant, and are currently exercisable.

NOTE J--COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS--CONTINUED

Under the terms of an employment agreement with a certain director and executive
officer of Capitol, options granted thereunder shall be increased when the
Corporation issues additional shares so that such options granted equal 15% of
outstanding shares prior to exercise. In 1999, Capitol negotiated a reduction of
the executive officer's benefit from 15% to 10%. In exchange for the reduced
benefit to the executive officer, Capitol agreed to a one-time exercise of
previously granted stock options with an aggregate exercise price of $1.6
million funded by a note receivable of $1.9 million from the executive officer.
The note bears interest at a fixed rate over its ten-year term. As part of the
terms of this agreement, the executive officer's compensation will be increased
in an amount equal to the interest due on the note receivable. Under certain
circumstances, such as death of the executive officer, the note will be
forgiven. The death benefit is covered by company-owned life insurance.

Stock option activity is summarized as follows:

NOTE J--COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS--CONTINUED

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", establishes a fair value method of accounting for stock options
whereby compensation expense is recognized based on the computed fair value of
the options on the grant date. However, as permitted by Statement No. 123,
Capitol accounts for its stock options under APB 25 and, therefore, does not
recognize compensation expense. By electing this alternative, certain pro forma
disclosures of the expense recognition provisions of Statement No. 123 are
required, which are as follows:

NOTE K--EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

Capitol has a contributory employee retirement savings 401(k) plan which covers
substantially all full-time employees of Capitol and certain subsidiaries over
age 21. The Plan provides for employer contributions in amounts determined
annually by Capitol's board of directors. Eligible employees make voluntary
contributions to the Plan. Contributions to the Plan, which are an employer
match (50%, subject to certain limitations) for employee contributions, charged
to expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $475,000,
$310,000 and $182,000, respectively.

Capitol also has a defined contribution employee stock ownership plan (ESOP)
which covers substantially all employees of Capitol and certain subsidiaries.
Certain common stock purchases by the ESOP were financed by long-term debt. ESOP
contributions charged to expense in 2000, 1999 and 1998 approximated $180,000,
$217,000 and $256,000 (including ESOP note payable interest of $49,000, $62,000
and $74,000), respectively. Shares of common stock held by the ESOP which have
not yet been allocated to participants' accounts are shown as a reduction of
stockholders' equity. As of December 31, 2000, the ESOP held 180,000 shares of
Capitol's common stock which have been allocated to participants' accounts and
37,500 shares of common stock with an approximate fair value of $356,000 which
have not yet been allocated to participants' accounts.

Estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities are based upon a
comparison of current interest rates on financial instruments and the timing of
related scheduled cash flows to the estimated present value of such cash flows
using current estimated market rates of interest (unless quoted market values or
other fair value information is more readily available). Such estimates of fair
value are not intended to represent market value or portfolio liquidation value,
and only represent an estimate of fair values based on current financial
reporting requirements.

NOTE O--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, loan commitments are made to accommodate the
financial needs of bank customers. Loan commitments include stand-by letters of
credit, lines of credit, and other commitments for commercial, installment and
mortgage loans. Stand-by letters of credit, when issued, commit the bank to make
payments on behalf of customers if certain specified future events occur and are
used infrequently by the banks ($12.0 million and $11.6 million outstanding at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively). Other loan commitments outstanding
consist of unused lines of credit and approved, but unfunded, specific loan
commitments ($283.8 million and $219.4 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively). These loan commitments (stand-by letters of credit and unfunded
loans) generally expire within one year and are reviewed periodically for
continuance or renewal.

All loan commitments have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in
routinely making loans to customers and are made subject to the banks' normal
credit policies. In making these loan commitments, collateral and/or personal
guarantees of the borrowers are generally obtained based on management's credit
assessment. Such loan commitments are also included in management's evaluation
of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

The banking subsidiaries are required to maintain average reserve balances in
the form of cash on hand and balances due from the Federal Reserve Bank and
correspondent banks. The amount of reserve balances required as of December 31,
2000 and 1999 were $5.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Deposits at each of the banks are insured up to the maximum amount covered by
FDIC insurance. Some of the banks have municipal government deposits which are
guaranteed by Capitol ($30.8 million at December 31, 2000).

NOTE P--DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS OF SUBSIDIARIES AND OTHER CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Current banking regulations restrict the ability to transfer funds from
subsidiaries to their parent in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.
Subject to various regulatory capital requirements, bank subsidiaries' current
and retained earnings are available for distribution as dividends to Capitol
(and other bank shareholders, as applicable) without prior approval from
regulatory authorities. Substantially all of the remaining net assets of the
subsidiaries are restricted as to payments to Capitol.

Each bank and Capitol are subject to certain other capital requirements. Federal
financial institution regulatory agencies have established certain risk-based
capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Those guidelines
require all banks and bank holding companies to maintain certain minimum ratios
and related amounts based on `Tier 1' and `Tier 2' capital and `risk-weighted
assets' as defined and periodically prescribed by the respective regulatory
agencies. Failure to meet these capital requirements can result in severe
regulatory enforcement action or other adverse consequences for a depository
institution and, accordingly, could have a material impact on Capitol's
consolidated financial statements.

Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and related framework for
prompt corrective action, the specific capital requirements involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications
are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulatory agencies with regard to
components, risk weighting and other factors.

As a condition of their charter approval, DE NOVO banks are generally required
to maintain a core capital (Tier 1) to assets ratio of not less than 8% and an
allowance for loan losses of not less than 1% for the first three years of
operations.

As of December 31, 2000, the most recent notifications received by the banks
from regulatory agencies have advised that the banks are classified as `well
capitalized' as defined by the applicable agencies. There are no conditions or
events since those notifications that management believes would change the
regulatory classification of the banks.

Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, that Capitol and the banks meet
all capital adequacy requirements to which the entities are subject.
