                           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
actual future results, performance or achievements of Capitol and/or its
subsidiaries and other operating units to differ materially from those
contemplated in such forward-looking statements. The words "intend", "expect",
"project", "estimate", "predict", "anticipate", "should", "will", "may",
"believe", and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements.
Important factors which may cause actual results to differ from those
contemplated in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
(i) the results of 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 performance and collectability, (vi) competitive pressures
among financial 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 cost of capital, which may depend in part on Capitol's
asset quality, prospects and outlook, (x) changes in governmental regulation,
tax rates and similar matters, (xi) changes in management, and (xii) other risks
detailed in Capitol's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying
assumptions prove 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 date of such statements or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

     At December 31, 2002, Capitol and its subsidiaries employed 801 full time
equivalent employees.

     In 1997, the Registrant formed Capitol Trust I, a Delaware statutory
business trust. Capitol Trust I's business and affairs are conducted by its
property trustee, a Delaware trustee, and three individual administrative
trustees who are employees and officers of the Registrant. Capitol Trust I
exists for the sole purpose of issuing and selling its preferred securities and
common securities, using the proceeds from the sale of those securities to
acquire subordinated debentures issued by the Registrant and certain related
services. During 2001, the Registrant formed Capitol Trust II and Capitol
Statutory Trust III, in conjunction with private placements of trust-preferred
securities, which are structured similar to Capitol Trust I. Capitol Trust IV
was similarly formed in 2002. Additional information regarding trust-preferred
securities is incorporated by reference from Page 43, Financial Information
Section of Annual Report, under the caption "Note I--Trust-Preferred
Securities".

     The following tables (Tables A to G, inclusive), present certain
statistical information regarding Capitol's business.

DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (TABLE A)
CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED

Net interest income, the primary component of earnings, represents the
difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest
expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the
volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the rates
earned or paid on them. This table shows the daily average balances for the
major asset and liability categories and the actual related interest income and
expense (in $1,000s) and average yield/cost for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000.

(1)  Average yield/cost is determined by dividing the actual interest
     income/expense by the daily average balance of the asset or liability
     category.
(2)  Average balance of loans includes non-accrual loans.
(3)  Interest rate spread represents the average yield on interest-earning
     assets less the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(4)  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 (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 prior
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.

</TABLE>

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 and, at December 31, 2002,
     approximately 25% of such properties were owner-occupied and approximately
     11% 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.

In addition to the identification of nonperforming loans involving borrowers
with payment performance difficulties (i.e., nonaccrual loans and loans past-due
90 days or more), management utilizes an internal loan review process to
identify other potential problem loans which may warrant additional monitoring
or other attention. This loan review process is a continuous activity which
periodically updates internal loan classifications. At inception, all loans are
individually assigned a classification which grade the credits on a risk basis,
based on the type and discounted value of collateral, financial strength of the
borrower and guarantors and other factors such as nature of the borrowers'
business climate, local economic conditions and other subjective factors. The
loan classification process is fluid and subjective.

Potential problem loans include loans which are generally performing as agreed;
however, because of loan review's and/or lending staff's risk assessment,
increased monitoring is deemed appropriate. In addition, some loans are
identified for monitoring because of specific performance issues or other risk
factors requiring closer management and development of specific remedial action
plans.

At December 31, 2002, potential problem loans (including nonperforming loans)
approximated $98.5 million or about 5% of total consolidated portfolio loans.
Such totals typically approximate 4% to 5% of loans outstanding as an important
part of management's ongoing and augmented loan review activities which are
designed to early-identify loans which warrant close monitoring at the bank and
corporate credit-administration levels. It is important to note that these
potential problem loans do not necessarily have significant loss exposure (nor
are they necessarily deemed 'impaired'), but rather are identified by management
in this manner to aid in loan administration and risk management. Management
believes these loans to be adequately considered in its evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes, however, that
current general economic conditions may result in higher levels of future loan
losses, in comparison to previous years.

Of the other real estate owned at December 31, 2002, one property, with a
carrying value of $1.7 million is partially guaranteed by an agency of the
federal government. Other real estate owned is valued at the lower of cost or
fair value (net of estimated selling cost) at the date of transfer/acquisition.
Management performs a periodic analysis of estimated fair values to determine
potential impairment of other real estate owned.

     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. Grand Haven Bank owns its stand-alone bank
facility.

     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.

     Capitol's Great Lakes headquarters 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.

     Capitol's Western Regions headquarters are located 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 Page 41, Financial Information Section of Annual
Report, under the caption "Note F--Premises and Equipment". Additional
disclosures regarding leases with related parties are incorporated by reference
from the Corporation's definitive proxy statement to be filed within 120 days
after December 31, 2002.

     Management believes Capitol's and its subsidiaries' offices to be in good
and adequate condition and adequately covered by insurance.

                                OUR CORE VALUES

ITEM PROCESSING
GREAT LAKES REGION

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurship is the essence of our company spirit.

LOYALTY
The way we treat our customers begins with the way we treat each other. Respect
and reliability encourage loyalty in all of us.

COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
Our success depends upon the success of our community.

INTEGRITY
It is our standard of behavior, which always seeks to do the right thing.

MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL
We are committed to maximizing potential as a company and as individuals.
<PAGE>
                               TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders:

In the year 2002 we achieved another plateau in our long-term journey toward
lasting success as a public company. Earnings grew 55%; earnings per share grew
16%; net operating revenues increased 28% and assets increased 18%. We had a
good year. We were rewarded by the stock market with a 74% price increase.

As we build for the future, we are challenged by the reckless indifference many
public companies have demonstrated regarding their own credibility as leaders
and as fiduciaries.

CREDIBILITY

Our ability to succeed as bankers in a competitive environment has been built on
our credibility as service providers. We deliver a higher level of service by
interfacing our customers with human beings. The customers are not left to fend
for themselves when interacting with our banking system. We treat our customers'
concerns with confidentiality and care. We will continue to operate in this
manner at each of our affiliate banks.

The credibility we have established is enhanced by the continuity of our banking
operations. It is a comfort to our customers to know that our banks are
committed to long-term success, thereby avoiding the disruption other
competitors have demonstrated through mergers with out-of-town companies.

However, the responsibility of demonstrating our credibility does not end with
our customer. Recent events regarding the activities of CEOs and boards of
directors throughout corporate America have called into question the conduct of
all public corporations.

We do not wish to risk our credibility with our shareholders. We will do all
that is necessary to protect this important trust. For these reasons the board
of directors, during the first quarter of last year, initiated a review of our
corporate governance practices and executive compensation arrangements.

This effort resulted in the revision of our Corporate Code of Ethics and the
development of Corporate Governance Guidelines. Moreover, the board adopted a
charter for each standing committee. These important accomplishments are
published on our website.

In addition, the Compensation, Audit and Nomination and Governance Committees
are made up exclusively of independent directors consistent with the new
guidelines published by the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Market.

                           -------------------------
                             WE DO NOT WISH TO RISK
                            OUR CREDIBILITY WITH OUR
                                 SHAREHOLDERS.
                             WE WILL DO ALL THAT IS
                           NECESSARY TO PROTECT THIS
                                IMPORTANT TRUST.
                           -------------------------

Finally, a review and revision of the employment contracts of senior officers
was completed to ensure that management is incented toward long-term objectives.

As we continue to develop our long-range strategic plan, we know that ongoing
credibility with our customers and our shareholders remains vital to our
success.

CORE VALUES

Our credibility is driven by our core values. We currently have 29 banks and
operate in 8 states. Each of our banks is benefited by a board of directors who
are residents of their banking community. Our bank directors are the most
significant off-balance-sheet assets of the Corporation. Their impartial
oversight of banking operations is matched by significant individual business
development efforts. Unlike most other banking models, ours is built around our
bank directorships.

<PAGE>
During the past year we initiated an effort to identify our core values as a
company. This undertaking recognized both the geographic and cultural diversity
of our bank boards and our employees. At the conclusion of the process we were
able to construct a definition of our core values:

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS THE ESSENCE OF OUR COMPANY SPIRIT.

LOYALTY
THE WAY WE TREAT OUR CUSTOMERS BEGINS WITH THE WAY WE TREAT EACH OTHER. RESPECT
AND RELIABILITY ENCOURAGE LOYALTY IN ALL OF US.

COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON THE SUCCESS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

INTEGRITY
IT IS OUR STANDARD OF BEHAVIOR, WHICH ALWAYS SEEKS TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL
WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL AS A COMPANY AND AS INDIVIDUALS.

                                    [PHOTO]

These values are not objectives we would like to attain -- they represent who we
are as a company. They serve as an instrument of measurement in all that we
undertake. I invite you to view the various letters each bank president has
submitted in this report which demonstrate our core values.

PERFORMANCE

For the year 2002, record net operating revenues of $115.6 million increased
approximately 28% when compared to the $90.1 million figure recorded in 2001.
Record earnings of approximately $16.7 million for 2002 reflect 55% growth when
compared to $10.7 million in 2001. On an earnings per share (EPS) basis, Capitol
reported basic ($1.64) and diluted ($1.57) figures for 2002 that were 19% and
16%, respectively, ahead of 2001's comparable period levels of $1.38 and $1.35.
The 28% growth in net operating revenues for 2002 was aided by an approximate
56% increase in noninterest income, offsetting the 20% expansion in operating
expense that reflects both the opening of two new affiliate banks in California
and Nevada and new loan production offices in Texas, California and Georgia. In
addition, the consolidation of minority interests at several of Capitol's
affiliate development holding companies during 2002 served to dramatically
expand the share base from approximately 7.8 million shares at the end of 2001
to roughly 11.3 million shares at year end.

INVESTOR SIMPLIFICATION

On March 31, 2002, the public ownership profile of our primary southwest-based
development holding company, Sun Community Bancorp Limited, was consolidated in
a share exchange with Capitol Bancorp. Subsequently, the shared investments in
our Indiana, Nevada, and SBA-specialist, Sunrise Capital, holding companies were

                                                                               3
<PAGE>
exchanged for stock in Capitol Bancorp. These four second-tier holding companies
are now 100% owned by Capitol Bancorp. The share base of Capitol Bancorp was
increased by nearly 50% and our corporate structure was simplified. These
actions were received positively within the investor community.

At the end of 2000, the market capitalization, or the total value the investor
community had assigned to the Corporation, equaled approximately $75 million.
Closing out 2001, the market capitalization of the Corporation measured just shy
of $105 million. Following the share exchanges, Capitol Bancorp's market
capitalization increased more than 2.5 times to over $270 million in 2002.

BUILDING A TRACK RECORD

Our message, supported by our performance, is connecting with the investor
community to produce operating results in line with investor expectations, while
not sacrificing potential growth opportunities which serve to enhance the future
earnings stream. The performance of the past few years reflects this operating
dynamic. Since the end of 1998, assets have more than doubled from just over $1
billion to more than $2.4 billion. In the same time frame, shareholder equity
has nearly quadrupled from approximately $49 million to over $160 million, while
earnings ($4.6 million to approximately $16.7 million) and operating revenues
($37 million to more than $115 million) have both more than tripled. At the end
of 1998, we had 17 community banks in our family. Today, the affiliate system
totals 29, with new opportunities being explored every day. In 1998, EPS
measured $0.72, while total shares outstanding equaled 6.3 million. In 2002, our
EPS exceeded "street" expectations reaching $1.57, and we entered 2003 with more
than 11.3 million shares outstanding.

We are often perceived as a company running contrarian to the banking industry's
trend of "bigger means better" by remaining committed to our most critical
operating constituency -- the customer relationship. We continue to believe that
this strategy will promote long-term success.

EMERGING PROFITABILITY

As we enter 2003, only 11 of our 29 affiliate banks are more than 5 years old.
The earnings potential of our other 18 maturing, but youthful, banks will serve
to expand our revenue and earnings stream over the next few years.

                        -------------------------------
                        THESE VALUES ARE NOT OBJECTIVES
                           WE WOULD LIKE TO ATTAIN --
                           THEY REPRESENT WHO WE ARE
                                 AS A COMPANY.
                        -------------------------------

A FOOTNOTE REGARDING ACQUISITIONS

Capitol Bancorp has successfully completed numerous "acquisitions" of the
internally-generated variety as we consolidated the minority interests of our
affiliates. These transactions were transparent to the customer, effectively
resulting in an accounting formality for what had been operating reality.
However, as we survey the landscape, we recognize that there may be
possibilities to augment our traditional de novo development efforts with
selective acquisitions. As we have successfully done in the past, we will
continue to look at potential transactions, searching for both a cultural fit
and an accretive earnings opportunity.

We invite you to share our optimism for the coming years.

          BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                     BANK OF LAS VEGAS

         Vincent J. Ciminise      Bank of Las Vegas opened in February of 2002 to opportunity, excitement,
                   President      anticipation, and challenge. Throughout its first year the Bank realized the
           Bank of Las Vegas      successful completion of many goals. These accomplishments were achieved through
                                  an unprecedented level of entrepreneurship exhibited by our employees. Following
              Darlene Copsey      are a few examples of the spirit demonstrated by our team:
         Secretary/Treasurer
        The Alpha Group Ltd.           We developed a marketing plan for the Bank utilizing landmarks that are
                                       synonymous with our namesake -- Las Vegas. This unique advertising is used
           Michael J. Devine           on our courier van, and it was also used to give our temporary facility
             Attorney at Law           some needed character. The van carries replicas of landmarks in the city
                                       including the head of the Egyptian from the Luxor Hotel and the distinctive
               Leo N. Durant           "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" marker located at the entrance to the city.
                       Owner           We covered the front of the bank with a large billboard that depicted the
            LND Construction           skyline of downtown Las Vegas. The comments from the local community have
                                       been very positive. I can assure you that people remember our courier van
            Scott R. Gragson           and eye-catching signage, which is entrepreneurial advertising at its best.
            Managing Partner
            GKT Acquisitions           During our first year we benefited from the unification efforts of our
                                       affiliated banks and implemented procedures consistent with the new
           Donald K. Hamrick           consolidated systems. The staff embraced the opportunity to learn new
             General Manager           skills and apply them to meet the bank's specific needs, as would any
   Signature Lincoln Mercury           entrepreneur.

             Darryl J. Hardy           Whether adjusting to an incredibly small temporary working facility, or
              Vice President           helping a customer find a way to start their own business, our employees
    Hardy Painting & Drywall           exemplify those traits associated with a true entrepreneur. Their positive
                                       attitudes, and the consistent encouragement they provide to new customers,
         Alan R. Houldsworth           stems from the pleasure that comes from running an autonomous operation.
                     Partner           Entrepreneurs enjoy their creative freedom, working hard and the
 Houldsworth & Company, CPAs           satisfaction of ultimate success.

            Charles L. Lasky      As the Bank continues to grow and mature, we must never lose sight of how we
                   President      reached this point. That strength will ensure our future.

Our team at Camelback Community Bank takes great pride in our commitment to all           Shirley A. Agnos
of our shared core values. We display these values every day in our work, our             President
volunteer activities and our personal behavior.                                           Arizona Town Hall

The past several years have proven that a bank must create a reputation for               Cord D. Armstrong
customer service outside of the traditional scope if it is going to provide               CPA/Manager
financial services that are truly unique and tailored to meet the needs of its            Miller Wagner Business Services, Inc.
customers. Customers have many choices today and have more access to information
than ever before. This new banking environment requires our bank to be ever more          Michael J. Devine

We have concluded that Camelback's new checking account that rewards our                  Winfield L. Holden III
customers for increasing their account balance, while offering both convenience           Publisher
and a competitive interest rate, provides an attractive investment opportunity.           Arizona Highways Magazine
In today's low interest-rate environment, many individuals are investing in cash
vehicles that earn very little interest. In an effort to meet our customers'              Michael L. Kasten
needs, and at the same time add growth to the Bank, we created an                         Managing Partner
interest-bearing checking account that pays a premium interest rate for deposits          Kasten Investments, LLC
in excess of $25,000. Additionally, the account is tiered, and at each of the
higher levels, the interest rate increases substantially.                                 Gregory M. Kruzel
                                                                                          Attorney at Law & Partner
In our continued effort to support the nonprofit agencies in our community, we            Braun, Becker, Kruzel, P.C.
offered this account to them as well. They are extremely grateful to increase
the return on their deposits, especially now when fundraising is more difficult           Robert V. Lester
than ever and every penny counts.                                                         President

This checking account has delivered all that we expected and more. It increased
our total deposits by 20% in 90 days and is a great opportunity for introducing           John S. Lewis

              BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                  DESERT COMMUNITY BANK

               Robert J. Andrews     Desert Community Bank has carved out a niche in the greater Las Vegas
    CFO & Director of Operations     marketplace, which has distinguished us from our peers. Although Las Vegas is
            IGT Lottery Division     often touted as the fastest growing city in America, with some 5,000 new
                                     residents every month, many of our directors have extensive community roots.
               Tracy R. Bouchard     Many are from local, established families who have conducted business in Las
                       President     Vegas for generations. They, and their family members, have held noteworthy
          National Title Company     public offices, successfully operated family businesses for over 50 years, and
                                     remain well connected with county and municipal government, as well as the
               Michael J. Devine     varied industries that fuel this town's economy. The contacts they share, as
                 Attorney at Law     well as the history that accompanies their experience in the marketplace, gives
                                     us an opportunity to enrich the opportunities not normally offered to newcomers
             Rose M.K. Dominguez     to this city.
                       President
                Discovery Travel     Las Vegas is known for entertainment and gaming. Manufacturing, education, and
                                     trades that facilitate the town's tourism are the less known side of Las Vegas.
                 Tom R. Grimmett     Desert Community Bank is constantly working on innovative ways to assist our
                           Owner     customers, and our community in achieving their dreams.
              Grimmett & Company
                                     For example, we have a customer with a continual need for new technicians to
                  Garry L. Hayes     work in his specialty of selling and installing automated HVAC systems and
                       President     controls in large facilities. It is a difficult field in which to find qualified
    Law Office of Garry L. Hayes     employees. The owner decided to solve that problem by starting a school within
                                     his business to train technicians at all levels of HVAC installation,
                 James W. Howard     maintenance and repair. Tuition financing is not generally offered to students
                       President     attending trade schools. At the suggestion of one of our directors, Desert
           Desert Community Bank     Community Bank was able to acquaint our customer with another contact who
                                     provides student loan assistance for trade schools who do not yet qualify for
                Charles L. Lasky     the Title IV assistance offered by the government guaranteed student loan
                       President     programs. This helped our customer succeed in uniquely achieving their growth
   Lasky, Fifarek &  Hogan, P.C.     objectives.

              Thomas C. Mangione     Our directors, our employees, and our customers all benefit when we work to
       Chairman, President & CEO     solve problems together. It makes us unique from other community banks in Las
         Red Rock Community Bank     Vegas. We have one location -- with many solutions for our customers.

Entrepreneurship is a word rarely associated with banking. One dictionary            James M. Badaluco
defines an entrepreneur as "one who organizes and assumes the risk of a business     Vice President
or enterprise." Bankers are in the business of minimizing and managing risk.         S.J. Wisinski & Company
They are generally not willing to step out and assume risk. That willingness --
even eagerness, at times -- is the root source of Capitol Bancorp's success.         Paul R. Ballard
                                                                                     Retired President & CEO
Three years ago, Kent Commerce Bank had no U.S. Small Business Administration        Portage Commerce Bank
(SBA) loans in its commercial portfolio. SBA loans can be complex, require
significant training and expertise, and have rigorous servicing requirements.        Sharon M. Buursma
Yet in 2002, Kent was the primary contributor to the program that resulted in        Executive Vice President
Capitol Bancorp being named SBA "Community Lender of the Year" in Michigan --        Spectrum Health
the highest SBA award given to a community bank. Why? We recognized the
opportunity for SBA lending in the market and we felt it was an essential            Kevin J. Einfeld
service that we needed to provide to our customers. We then looked for, and          President
committed the people and resources necessary, to be successful. Was it a risk?       BDR, Inc.
Absolutely. SBA lending is highly specialized and mistakes can be costly. The
financial rewards from our success, however, have been great, both for our Bank      Grant J. Gruel
and the company's reputation as a whole.                                             Partner/Trial Attorney
                                                                                     Gruel, Mills, Nims & Pylman
As a bank focused on small business, we find that the majority of our clients
are entrepreneurs themselves, having built their businesses from the ground up.      Gary D. Hensch
Very few bankers truly understand what that means. We do, because we built our       CPA
bank the same way. Without taking a few risks, success comes very slowly, if         Redstone Group
ever. Our clients understand how we built our bank and, accordingly, they know
we're able to relate to them like no one else can.                                   R. Ted Hudson
                                                                                     Owner
Bankers are typically not interested in trying something new, particularly if an     Prestige Property, Inc.
element of risk exists. At Kent Commerce Bank, however, our entrepreneurial
spirit is foundational. It is a much-cherished value all our banking                 Harold A. Marks
professionals embrace and exemplify.                                                 CPA/Partner

        BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                  MACOMB COMMUNITY BANK

            Robert C. Carr     Macomb Community Bank (MCB) believes that entrepreneurs provide a significant
  Executive Vice President     economic contribution to any community. Supporting entrepreneurs in a timely
   Capitol Bancorp Limited     manner, with financial products designed to meet their needs, is what we do.
                               Although many banks have changed their focus in the last several years, MCB
         Timothy J. Cuttle     remains committed to its vision of supporting small business by providing a high
           President & CEO     level of communication and quality products. As a smaller bank, we think of
     Macomb Community Bank     ourselves more like the entrepreneurs we serve. At MCB, customers can meet with
                               a senior officer, or even the President, at any time. We think it's an important
 Christina C. D'Alessandro     part of our overall responsibility. I would like to share with you some recent
            Vice President     examples of MCB supporting small business in our community:

                                    In 2002, MCB assumed a major leadership role in hosting and sponsoring a
         Ronald G. Forster          series of five economic luncheons that focused on areas of interest to
                   Retired          small business. Topics such as economics, technology, global competition,
                                    real estate and the automotive industry were discussed at length during
             James R. Kaye          these meetings. The program was so successful that we have committed to
           President & CEO          continue this event on an annual basis.
     Oakland Commerce Bank
                                    MCB is a major sponsor of the 100th anniversary of the Central Macomb

         Building Official          Michigan and the country. The Chamber, with its 1,000 members, exists to
       Washington Township          support entrepreneurs and MCB supports its vision.

     Dr. Albert L. Lorenzo          Entrepreneurship can begin at any stage in life. MCB believes we can help
                 President          develop entrepreneurs of the future. In 2003, the Bank will provide a
  Macomb Community College          business scholarship for tuition at Macomb Community College. The college,
                                    one of the largest junior colleges in the country, has a student enrollment
       Delia Rendon Martin          of nearly 50,000. We support its efforts in providing a quality educational
                  Co-Owner          opportunity for future entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurship is the essence of our success at Mesa Bank. We define               Neil R. Barna
entrepreneurship as the recognition and pursuit of opportunity, the confidence       President & CEO
that we can be successful, and the flexibility to adjust our course in response      Mesa Bank
to changes in our marketplace and community.
                                                                                     Richard D. Crandall, CPA
Entrepreneurship is about vision, persistence and innovation. We believe that we     President/Partner
have the vision to expand, improve or change our products and services to meet       C N Resource, LLC
the needs of our community. Working personally with businessmen and women of our
community is our practice. Meeting their banking needs and wants is our goal.        Michael J. Devine

To maintain market leadership, we must meet our customers' changing needs. At        Robert R. Evans
Mesa Bank we attempt to bring out the "inner innovator" that resides in each of      President
us. By doing so we find the right solutions for our customers. Mesa Bank opened      Evans Management Company
a loan production office in the Falcon Field area of Mesa in December 2002. What
makes this entrepreneurial endeavor unique is that the person spearheading this      Stewart A. Hogue
effort was not in the banking business before joining Mesa Bank in 2002. Jim         Principal
LeCheminant, a thirty-year resident of Mesa, has adapted well to the banking         SALK Management, LLC
environment by introducing innovative methods of developing new customers and
meeting their needs.                                                                 Michael L. Kasten

At Mesa Bank, we realize entrepreneurship is not static, but fluid. We must          Kasten Investments, LLC
continue to seek opportunities and methods to assist our customers and our
community.                                                                           Philip S. Kellis

                  BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                 SUNRISE BANK OF ARIZONA

                    Sandra A. Abalos     "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door."
                           President     ... And so we did.
             Abalos & Associates, PC
                                         Since Sunrise Bank of Arizona opened in December of 1998; the Sunrise team has
                    Michael R. Allen     built a lot of doors and taken the worlds of SBA lending and banking by storm.
                           President     Sunrise married owner-user real estate lending with banking services for small
                  Sureway Properties     businesses. Before the Sunrise Bank model was invented, SBA lending and banking
                                         were different worlds. The Sunrise team shared a vision with Capitol Bancorp, a
                        James P. Dew     vision that brought two entrepreneurs together to create a bank built on this
               Dew Wealth Management     very unique model. Our model is quite simple -- concentrate on the needs of
                                         dynamic small business owners and entrepreneurs, provide them with extraordinary
                   Michael J. Devine     service, with an emphasis on SBA loans for equipment, working capital and
                     Attorney at Law     facilities, and turn them into loyal, long-term customers. The customer
                                         relationships begin with SBA lending. While many traditional banks consider SBA
                    Brian K. English     lending the last resort for their customers, Sunrise believes it presents an
                     General Counsel     incredible opportunity to differentiate itself from the competition. Since 94%
             Capitol Bancorp Limited     of businesses in the United States are classified as "small," Sunrise has tapped
                                         into a remarkable customer base. As a result, the Sunrise model is a successful
                    Patrick C. Hayes     and innovative business model that seeks out these growing markets.
                       Patrick Hayes
                        Architecture     After we built the doors, we opened them to industrious professionals who share
                                         the same vision of providing unparalleled financial services for the underserved
                  William D. Hinz II     small business market. Sunrise is committed to recruiting the best -- smart,
                                 CEO     motivated, and entrepreneurial people who care about others... those who will
             Sunrise Bank of Arizona     take a personal interest in small business owners, get to know their businesses,
                                         and help them reach their goals... people who know that by helping their
                        J. Garth Jax     customers prosper, they will succeed as well.
                        Entrepreneur
                                         SBA lending is an innovative vehicle for building a community bank. It requires
                   Michael L. Kasten     a collective team effort to help finance people's dreams, and their
                    Managing Partner     entrepreneurial ventures. Sunrise Bank of Arizona is composed of an
             Kasten Investments, LLC     entrepreneurial team whose personalities create and innovate to build more banks
                                         of recognized value around real opportunities. The energy that emanates from
                     Kevin B. Kinerk     this team is powerful, and this influence makes a difference in the community,
            Executive Vice President     in the Bank, and in the spirit exemplified by the employees.

               BOARD OF DIRECTORS                              BLACK MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY BANK

                Peter M. Atkinson     Before Black Mountain Community Bank was organized three years ago, several
                        President     members of our original team of eight worked together for banks that have since
    Black Mountain Community Bank     been lost in mergers. We often spoke of having our own bank where banking was
                                      done the way we remembered. Some of us mentioned going to the bank with our
               Michael D. Ballard     parents when we were kids. Besides the lollipops, what we recalled was how the
                        President     tellers cheerfully greeted our parents by name, and took a few moments to catch
     Ballard Communications, Inc.     up on what the family was up to. At our dream bank each member of the team would
                                      be upbeat like that, because each member of the team would be working at a job
                Michael J. Devine     he or she genuinely enjoyed and one where he or she knew his or her contribution
                  Attorney at Law     was valued. Our customers would want to do business with us, rather than the
                                      next bank down the street, because they would know that we could, and would,
                 Betty A. Kincaid     serve them better than any other bank.
                        President
   Southwest Exchange Corporation     Once our bank was capitalized, creating was relatively easy. Three years later,
                                      our team now numbers twelve, and we collectively have 296 years of banking
                 Charles L. Lasky     experience. Our shareholders expect a strong return on their investment. In
                        President     order to accomplish that, we have recruited and retained satisfied customers
     Lasky, Fifarek & Hogan, P.C.     like those we envisioned in our planning sessions. We have earned the respect of
                                      our customers, who are engaged as extended members of the Team. We trust each
              Claire M. MacDonald     other to do our respective jobs with excellence and our clients trust us to
             MacDonald Properties     effectively handle their banking business.

               Thomas C. Mangione     Because of the mutual respect among bank team and customers, we are able to
        Chairman, President & CEO     provide superior service in extraordinary circumstances. Recently, a customer
          Red Rock Community Bank     and his wife were vacationing in Mexico when she became critically ill. It
                                      became necessary that she be quickly airlifted to Las Vegas at great expense.
                 Michael J. Mixer     When the Bank received a telephone call requesting that a large sum be wire
                 Corporate Broker     transferred to Mexico, we had all of the normal concerns. We worried for her
           Colliers International     health, as she was personally known by all of us. As professionals, we had to be
                                      sure our customer was in fact, making the request. We also needed to confirm
     Colleen C. O'Callaghan-Miele     that our customers weren't being forced, under duress, to transfer the amount out
          VP/Circulations Manager     of their accounts. Our bank manager was able to talk to our customers by phone at
              H.B.C. Publications     the hospital and confirm to her satisfaction that the request was real so the
                                      funds could be wired to Mexico. Two months later, to our great pleasure, the
               Phillip N. Ralston     recovered customer walked into the bank to personally thank us.
Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer
          American Nevada Company     The original team is proud that Black Mountain Community Bank has developed the
                                      way we designed it. Our customers are glad we live our bank motto... banking the
               Joseph D. Reid III     way you remember.

Capitol National Bank recognized a little more than twenty years ago, the            Robert C. Carr
importance of developing a strong spirit of loyalty to our employees. They, in       Executive Vice President
turn, have shown the same concern and dedication, not only to the Bank, but also     Capitol Bancorp Limited
to our customers. We have always encouraged a working atmosphere that is
respectful and caring of one another, knowing those same traits are key to           Nan Elizabeth Casey
providing successful customer relationship management.                               Attorney at Law
                                                                                     Fraser Law Firm
To that end, CNB encourages a free flow of employee ideas on how to improve our
product and service delivery. We encourage and expect our management and staff       Charles J. Clark
to continually enhance their job knowledge and skills by participating in            President
banking courses and seminars. Several years ago we began monthly "Lunch & Learn"     Clark Construction Company
programs conducted by our senior management team. This format has been an
excellent tool to continually reinforce a strong sense of camaraderie, as well       Brian K. English
as showing our commitment to making our employees the best they can be. By           General Counsel
regularly providing training and information about the Bank, its products and        Capitol Bancorp Limited
banking in general, members of our team increase their value to the Bank, and to
each other.                                                                          David E. Ferguson
                                                                                     President
This work environment, which enhances employee value and reliability, has been       Ferguson Development
nurtured and is a key ingredient in the development of our long-lasting customer
relationships. Unlike the behavior of many of today's larger financial               Patrick F. Hayes
institutions, we always try to work with our customers both in good times and        President
during periods when running a profitable business is more challenging. We do not     F.D. Hayes Electric
run hot or cold based on the economy or a customer's short-term performance. We
value loyalty, character, integrity and working together to create an                Richard A. Henderson
environment that has been critical to the long-term success of our customers and     President
the Bank.                                                                            Henderson & Associates, PC

The fact that the average tenure of members of our management team is 14 years       J. Christopher Holman
gives our staff and customers the comfort of knowing we will continue to be here     Publisher
to meet their needs. That level of continuity has no price tag as we build and       Greater Lansing Business Monthly
expand a solid business base, which in turn becomes a wonderful referral source,
continually assisting Capitol National's development plan and success.               L. Douglas Johns, Jr.

                  Community Volunteer     Elkhart Community Bank. Extraordinary customer anecdotes evidencing the loyalty
                                          of our banking professionals stand side-by-side with day-to-day procedures,
                    R. Steven Bennett     which reinforce the importance of loyalty.

               Voyager Products, Inc.     When one of our clients was purchasing a condominium in Florida, an opportunity
                                          arose to demonstrate our core values. We had discussed a real estate loan and
                     Kenneth W. Brink     planned on closing it the following Tuesday morning so the customer could take
                            Treasurer     the check with him when he flew to Florida that afternoon. On the Saturday prior
             Hart Housing Group, Inc.     to the scheduled closing, we received a call at home from the client saying he
                                          needed the check on Monday afternoon instead of Tuesday. Because that Monday was
                      Steven L. Brown     a holiday, the Bank was not scheduled to be open. We were able to come into the
                            President     bank on a Sunday afternoon and prepare the appropriate loan information, to
               Elkhart Community Bank     accommodate this emergency request for our client.

                       Robert C. Carr     Our procurement policy reminds us routinely of our loyalty to community vendors.
             Executive Vice President     We believe that giving business back to our clients and community first is an
              Capitol Bancorp Limited     important part of relationship banking and a true advantage over our big bank
                                          competitors. During 2002, we needed to replace the heating and air conditioning
                      Andrew W. Frech     units for our bank building. Both of the firms from which the Bank solicited
                       Chairman & CEO     bids on the job have borrowing and depository relationships with the bank. Even
     Ancon Construction Company, Inc.     when the Bank is planning a small lunch for our board meetings, we hire local
                                          eateries that bank here to cater the meals.

In May of 1995, Grand Haven was ready for a community bank. Small banks offer a      Stanley L. Boelkins
high level of personal customer service and attention. The concept of meeting        Appraiser
face-to-face across the desk with customers is reminiscent of days gone by.          Boelkins & Associates

Grand Haven Bank takes a common sense approach toward banking to meet the needs      John D. Groothuis

Grand Haven Bank consistently endeavors to meet the needs of its customers and       Capitol Bancorp Limited

                     Mark A. Aiello     Oakland Commerce Bank has always believed that for a bank, or any business for
                    Foley & Lardner     that matter, loyalty is a reciprocal process. It is unrealistic to believe that
                                        a customer will be loyal to the bank when the bank's actions do not demonstrate
                    Donald A. Bosco     loyalty to the customer.

                                        Because of the long-term bank relationship with our customer, we responded to
                   Mark B. Churella     his request to meet with his wife and explore her business needs. We eventually
                    President & CEO     determined that with her technical background and professional contacts, her
                          FDI Group     request had merit. We were also convinced that her business plan was sound and
                                        that all she needed was a small working capital line of credit to get the
                      Leon S. Cohan     business up and running. We provided the initial loan in 1993, and have provided
                Counsel to the Firm     several increases through the years. Today, the company is very profitable and
       Barris, Scott, Denn & Driker     is poised to generate several million dollars in revenue.

During 2002, Portage Commerce Bank entered its fifteenth year of exceeding the       Paul R. Ballard
financial service needs of small businesses and individuals. No greater measure      Retired President & CEO
can be found of the loyalty and dedication established among the Bank, its           Portage Commerce Bank
employees, and its customers than the long-standing relationships that have
developed. We are proud that two of the six employees that opened the Bank           David L. Becker
reached retirement serving our customers. Five of our employees have over ten        Retired Insurance Agent
years of service and nine have more than five years of service. Their dedication
is appreciated.                                                                      Thomas R. Berglund, MD

At the same time, we have built a loyal following among the people we serve,
including over 300 accounts established during our inaugural year that continue      Robert B. Borsos
to do business with us today. Our most effective resource in the development of      Attorney & Shareholder
new business opportunities continues to be testimonials of the customers who         Kreis, Enderle, Callander & Hudgins, PC
helped launch their bank, in addition to newer faithful customers.

In 1988 a group of local businesspeople who helped form Portage Commerce Bank        Partner
accepted the responsibility of participating on its board of directors. Nine of      Brink, Key & Chludzinski, P.C.
those original directors remain on the board today! It is their steadfast,
focused attention on broadening the customer base that supports and sustains the     Patricia E. Dolan
Bank. In 1999, a number of them formed a partnership that built the current          Community Volunteer
banking facility, providing a more substantial presence in the Portage market.
Their continued investment in our community reflects the entrepreneurial spirit      Alan A. Halpern, MD

We renew our commitment to provide quality bank products and service to our
community and to offer our employees an opportunity to work in an environment        Robert L. Johnson

               William R. Assenmacher     Loyalty is a quality that's becoming increasingly harder to find, whether it's
                            President     employee loyalty to a company or consumer loyalty to a product.
           T.A. Caid Industries, Inc.
                                          The way we treat our bank customers begins with the way we treat each other. The
                     Jody A. Comstock     importance of workplace loyalty resonates throughout the corporate world. There
                      Physician/Owner     are systemic links between employee loyalty and organizational performance. At
                        Skin Spectrum     Southern Arizona Community Bank, employee loyalty deserves a place on the
                                          balance sheet, right next to other key assets.
                    Michael J. Devine
                      Attorney at Law     Building loyalty is not an easy task, but one we focus on every day. The
                                          pendulum of employer-employee loyalty has swung from one extreme to the other in
                    Robert A. Elliott     the past 50 years. What constitutes the key responsibilities of a loyal
                    President & Owner     employer? Collecting employee feedback. Assessing and rewarding performance, and
         The Elliott Accounting Group     offering the right jobs to the right people. Giving employees a stake in the

                      General Counsel     Employees must take charge of their own careers, but a good company will offer
              Capitol Bancorp Limited     the tools to succeed. It is the employee's responsibility to pick up those tools
                                          and use them effectively. Take training seriously. Responsible employees
                    Michael W. Franks     understand that promotions are not gifts -- they are corporate acknowledgement
                            Principal     for the job done well. In the best of worlds, strong performance and loyalty are
             Seaver Franks Architects     connected and reinforced through a web of recognition and reward.

                    Michael L. Kasten     Although loyalty's impact on the financial statement of a company is difficult
                     Managing Partner     to measure, at Southern Arizona Community Bank, loyalty is the driving force of
              Kasten Investments, LLC     our continued success. Seeing the same faces in our bank on a day-to-day basis
                                          promotes a sense of security in our customers. Employee loyalty evolves into

         Yoram Levy Development, Inc.     Employee loyalty is the crowning achievement in any business. At Southern

                Kevin S. Alfaro     Good stewardship makes its own rewards. The opportunity to demonstrate our
                        Partner     commitment to the community that gives us our name, and our livelihood,
    G & J Seiberlich & Co., LLP     sometimes arises out of misfortune. Sometimes it involves an act of superior
                                    customer service. Sometimes both.
           Geni A. Bennetts, MD
             Medical Consulting     A new commercial real estate loan was scheduled to be completed in mid-December,
                                    2002. The borrower, a prominent architect in California, has devoted the last 2
           Charles H. Dickenson     years to renovating a 2-story retail-office building in historic downtown Napa.
   Dickenson, Peatman & Fogarty     The building is home to a popular restaurant and several retailers on its ground
                                    floor, with several other businesses on the 2nd floor.
                William H. Dodd
General Manager, Culligan Water     During the preceding 5 days, Northern California had been deluged with rain, and
         Napa County Supervisor     area lakes, rivers, and streams were at maximum capacity. The Napa River was
                                    nearing flood stage in its course through downtown Napa. At 3 a.m. on the day
                Jeffrey L. Epps     before our loan transaction, a tributary that flows from the valley's western
                      President     hills to the Napa River unexpectedly overflowed its banks and flooded several
                 Epps Chevrolet     blocks in downtown Napa. Our borrower's property was among the first to be hit
                                    with floodwater, and roads began to close in the area. Later that day,
                Douglas W. Hill     floodwaters subsided and clean up began. Our borrower was among the first on the
               Vineyard Manager     scene with crews and equipment to help ground level tenants clean up their shops
         Jaeger Vineyards, Inc.     in order to hasten the resumption of business.

               Andrew L. Hoxsey     We were able to make contact with the borrower to determine whether he still
               Managing Partner     planned to sign loan documents as planned. Upon learning of his harrowing
              Napa Wine Company     experience with the flood, we agreed to amend his loan to provide additional
                                    funds in support of clean up and repair expenses. Flood insurance eventually
             Carlee S. Leftwich     covered most expenses, but the borrower was astonished to hear of such an offer.
                   Former Mayor     He was particularly surprised that we were able to amend our loan and keep the
         Yountville, California     scheduled appointment to sign loan documents.

             Harold D. Morrison     The borrower expressed appreciation for our responsiveness and took steps to
                      President     notify his tenants of the Bank's proactive service and support. As a result of
      Bridgeford Flying Service     our service, we have become his primary bank and doors opened to establishing
                                    bank relationships with his tenants. Helping not only our customers, but also
         Betty L. O'Shaughnessy     the greater community, get back to business with a minimum of lost revenue is
                          Owner     good for Napa and that is good for Napa Community Bank.

Paragon Bank & Trust is proud of its community commitment. A part of the Bank's      Dr. Robert J. Bates
involvement in our community's success comes in the form of lending decisions        Physician
that fulfill the intent of such governmental initiatives as the Community            Western Michigan Urological Assoc. P.C.
Reinvestment Act. It is our people, however, who carry that commitment outside
of the Bank's doors, outside of business hours and into the community, one           Charles A. Brower
project at a time. During 2002, Paragon Bank & Trust's staff committed many          CPA/Partner
hours of time and energy when:                                                       DeLong & Brower, P.C.

The Bank as a whole split into four "work groups" to work on local projects. One     Scott Diepenhorst
of our work groups constructed a retaining wall and installed siding on a house      Principal
for Habitat for Humanity. Representatives from our local United Way featured a       SD & Associates, Inc.
photo of the group in their annual publication. A second group took on the task
of doing odd jobs at the Community Action House. A third group labored at the        Paul Elzinga
Holland Rescue Mission and a fourth group of employees put on their painter's        Co-Chairman & Director of Business Development
caps and assisted Wildlife Unlimited in sprucing up their facilities. Not only       Elzinga & Volkers, Inc.
did these activities benefit the community, but we also gained a positive
feeling from helping others in need.                                                 John D. Groothuis

We have acted as a community sponsor in a local "adopt-a-park" project. We           Grand Haven Bank
"adopted" a local skate park, which is very close to our new location in
Holland. It is our job to keep the park clean and the equipment safe for those       Jeffrey K. Helder
who enjoy this facility.                                                             Attorney at Law

The local United Way recognized the Bank's 100% employee participation during
the recent annual campaign.                                                          Lawrence D. Kerkstra

A group from our bank raised over $1,000 by walking in a local Juvenile Diabetes     Kerkstra Precast, Inc.

We know that our success depends on the success of the community in which we         President/Trust & Investments Division

Valley First Community Bank is committed to supporting our community through         W. Craig Berger
involvement in civic and non-profit organizations. Our commitment extends beyond     CLU, ChFC
fiscal support.                                                                      Spence, Driscoll & Company

We are a community partner with Camp CEO, an alliance of public and private          Marilyn D. Cummings
organizations that sponsors and runs a one-week summer camp for young women ages     Realtor
13-17. The Camp introduces them to the possibilities of becoming business owners     Russ Lyon Realty Company
or executive professionals through a series of talks and group activities,
including a Ropes course and a Business-in-a-Box project. All counselors and         Michael J. Devine
presenters at the camp are female business owners and executives who interact        Attorney at Law
with and mentor the young women throughout the week. I plan to represent Valley
First by chairing the sponsorship committee and serving as a camp counselor          Judith R. Egan
during the 2003 camp.                                                                President

In December 2002, a group of Valley First employees orchestrated a support
campaign for the Chrysalis Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence, a local         William R. Fitzpatrick
organization that provides safe housing, counseling and domestic support for         CPA
victims of domestic violence. Our team obtained a wish list from Chrysalis and       Hein & Associates, LLP
then developed a holiday campaign that involved a lobby display and a direct
solicitation of employees, directors and customers. By the end of the 3-week         Steven M. Goldstein
campaign, we had filled to overflowing an entire section of our lobby with           Attorney at Law
diapers, bedding, toys, clothing, baby and toddler accessories, food, and cash,      Sacks, Tierney, P.A. Lawyers
which we delivered with great joy to the very appreciative executive director of
Chrysalis. In 2003, our employees plan to conduct at least two more similar          Dr. Ross Halliday
campaigns for Chrysalis.                                                             General Orthopedics

We have developed a special banking program for Scottsdale-based nonprofit
organizations that includes a package of free basic banking services. We also        Michael L. Kasten
offer our conference room free of charge to local non-profit groups for their        Managing Partner
monthly meetings.                                                                    Kasten Investments, LLC

                    BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                   YUMA COMMUNITY BANK

                          Bruce I. Ash     Yuma Community Bank has built on its motto of "Putting Yuma First," not only by
                        Vice President     continuing to focus on exceptional customer service, but also by giving the
              Paul Ash Management, LLC     staff the opportunity to live that motto every day.

                Steven M. Binkley, Jr.     Yuma Dentist Craig Barrows was pleasantly surprised by his experience with Yuma
                   SW Division Manager     Community Bank's new chief credit officer. "I called and Keith's response was,
        Arizona Public Service Company     `What can we do for you? When is a good time for me to come to your office?'
                                           I've had other banks tell me to come in and fill out the paperwork. This bank
                  Katherine M. Brandon     was able to deliver what I needed a lot faster than what I was expecting.
                             President     Customer service is going away all over the country. I know how important it is,
                   Yuma Community Bank     and so does Yuma Community Bank. They just do everything for you."

                     Raymond R. Corona     Jane Kiley, who owns Hunter Employment Services with her husband, Tom, said they
             Optometrist and President     have found Yuma Community Bank to be very responsive. "When we have had
                        Corona Optique     processes we needed to do differently, they were able to accommodate us
                                           cheerfully - we were able to use the Internet very effectively" she said. "The
                           Juli Jessen     staff at the bank has a can-do attitude. You tell them your needs and they find
                              Director     a way to do it."

                                           In addition to "Putting Yuma First" in the Bank, our employees have taken their
                        Ram R. Krishna     commitment to the community beyond the Bank. By joining organizations like the
              Ram R. Krishna, MD, P.C.     board of the Yuma Community Food Bank, they are able to use their contacts to
                                           connect with farmers and get their products donated to the Yuma Food Bank.

                                 Owner     Yuma Community Bank's pledge to put Yuma first is the essence of a solid
              Osterman Financial Group     commitment to serve the community.

                     Robert C. Carr     Customers -- staff -- shareholders -- community. When each supports the other,
           Executive Vice President     respect, reliability, and fidelity create trust and confidence.
            Capitol Bancorp Limited
                                        `Take care of the customers and the numbers will take care of themselves' has
                  Richard G. Dorner     been the basis of our decision-making. When this is the emphasis, staff,
                    President & CEO     shareholders and the community all benefit. Since our inception in 1990, we have
            Ann Arbor Commerce Bank     experienced a variety of economic conditions. `Taking care of the customer'
                                        cannot be a generic phrase -- the individual and the situation must define it.
                     James A. Fajen     During the 13 years since we opened our doors, we have prospered by learning
                    Attorney at Law     what options to offer during various economic climates. The most recent trend in
           Fajen & Miller, P.L.L.C.     the economy has benefited the borrower. The Federal Reserve System's pattern of
                                        lowering interest rates has been beneficial to the business community.
                      James W. Finn     Start-ups, spin-offs and expansions flourish during periods of low interest
                     Chairman & CEO     rates. Certainly, individuals have enjoyed the low mortgage rates. Refinancing
 Finn's-JM&J Insurance Agency, Inc.     and investing in home remodeling or a house upgrade have balanced the consumer's
                                        lack of gains in other markets.
                 H. Nicholas Genova
                     Chairman & CEO     But what about those who save? Current lower interest rate trends have not
            Washtenaw News Co. Inc.     provided a benefit to them. This comes at the time when the largest segment of
            H.N. Genova Development     consumers, the `Boomers', has experienced a diminished need to borrow with a
                                        greater emphasis on saving and investing. We wanted to create a benefit for
                  Richard M. Greene     those consumers. To that end we offered a CD Upgrade Voucher Promotion in
                          President     February 2002, anticipating CD rates would increase within the next few months.
                     Point Training     As that was not the case, we decided to extend the offer and provide options
                                        that will benefit the customer and are fair to the Bank. We have been able to
                Marilyn D. Katz-Pek     realize our full potential by applying fairness to all involved. We have a loyal
           General Managing Partner     customer base because we always seek to do the right thing.

                            ARROWHEAD COMMUNITY BANK                                 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

As we organized Arrowhead Community Bank, the staff and founding board members       Shelley L. Bade
developed new relationships within the local business community: trades people,      RPA, President
community leaders, prospective investors and local media. We learned that these      Bade Commercial Services, Inc.
people were excited about the prospect of a bank focusing on building
relationships. From "Day One", we shared the concept of a true community bank;       David Brnilovich
developing relationships based on honesty and trust; and establishing a              Jennings, Strouss & Salmon, P.L.C.
reputation for business integrity.
                                                                                     W. Patrick Daggett
Integrity is our standard. Board members and staff instinctively act with            CPA
integrity in all aspects of business. In selecting key personnel, we look for        Daggett & Daggett, LLP
that same kind of values match. Integrity within our organization is assumed --
it is the standard, not the exception.                                               Michael J. Devine
                                                                                     Attorney at Law
We, at Arrowhead, have a "golden rule" to do what we say we are going to do,
when we say we are going to do it. It is our practice to fully disclose all          Richard J. Hilde
costs related to doing business with Arrowhead at our first meeting with a           Owner & CEO
prospective client. This practice, at times, initially results in the loss of        EPW, Inc.
business to the competitors who appear to offer lower pricing. However, many
times, these prospects return to our Bank once our competitors fully disclose        Michael L. Kasten
their pricing and fees. The Bank's straight-forward approach during the initial      Managing Partner
meeting transforms prospects into clients. We firmly believe if we are               Kasten Investments, LLC
forthright and act with integrity, we save the client time and money, which
gains and preserves valuable relationships.                                          Arlene Kulzer
                                                                                     President
A recent residential real estate loan applicant would agree. She was concerned       Arrowhead Community Bank
about the fees and time involved in the refinance of her home. Rather than
attempt to persuade her to refinance with us, we suggested she speak with her        Dennis E. Landauer, CPA
current mortgage company about a streamline refinance. She did, was very pleased     American Express Tax
with our guidance and has since referred several clients to the Bank.                & Business Services

While the American media is full of examples of questionable business practices,     Dr. Elaine P. Maimon, CEO
we are encouraged by the response to our philosophy "integrity goes hand in hand     Arizona State University West
with good business".

                   Ralph J. Burrell     Acts of kindness and commitment to the community are a standard of behavior we
                          President     practice each and every day at Detroit Commerce Bank. Our customers learn to
                             SymCon     expect a high level of integrity from us. We earn their trust. All of our
                                        customers, from high profile professionals to those with modest bank activity,
                     Robert C. Carr     know we will always do what we can, morally and ethically, to protect their good
           Executive Vice President     name and financial reputation. Offering valued customers the benefits of on-line
            Capitol Bancorp Limited     banking increases confidentiality and benefits both the bank, in goodwill, and
                                        the customers, in increased accessibility. The customers who benefit from such
                Vivian L. Carpenter     an act of consideration tells friends how well the bankers at Detroit Commerce

                                        In some cases we generate additional business for the bank simply by
               Donald M. Davis, Jr.     exemplifying honorable behavior. When one of our customers was ill, we were
                     Vice President     asked to provide some financial oversight to ensure that his money was safe from
               Health Alliance Plan     unauthorized transactions until he was well enough to resume responsibility for
                                        his own finances. Later, that same customer found himself in need of greater
                 Barbara B. Gattorn     fiduciary assistance than we, as his bank, were prepared to provide. We did,
    Senior Advisor to the President     however, assist him with securing a guardian appointed by the probate court,
           Detroit Regional Chamber     thus saving his retirement funds. The guardian was so impressed with the
                                        honorable handling this man's finances received from Detroit Commerce Bank, the
                     John R. Hirzel     guardian became a customer who now brings his probate accounts to us on a
                                CPA     regular basis.

                                        Civic agencies and governmental units have to be particularly prudent in
               Martha K. Richardson     selecting the professionals who take care of their finances. Detroit Commerce
                          President     Bank considers it a significant endorsement that city leaders and governmental

Taking the time to notice that a customer's behavior is out of the ordinary and      Mark R. Allen
strained, is good service. Having a relationship that makes that customer feel       President & Attorney
comfortable enough to confide in you is just the way we do business at East          Mark R. Allen, P.C.
Valley Community Bank. When a charter client asked to view the endorsement on a
cashier's check she had sent through our Bank, an East Valley teammate inquired      Blake L. Bottle
further into her request.                                                            Partner

In our training as banking professionals, we have all learned that intelligent
people with good common sense are favorite targets of con artists. Those             Michael J. Devine
criminals are very practiced and have a ready answer for every objection a           Attorney at Law
person is likely to make to their schemes. We believe it is our professional
responsibility to help our customers identify situations that could put their        Richard D. Frazier
assets at risk.                                                                      Executive Director

At East Valley Community Bank we accomplish this by knowing our customers well.
Because of her prior experiences with the East Valley team and our relationships     David L. Heuermann
with her, she was receptive to inquiries about her transaction.                      President
                                                                                     Axis Mortgage & Investments, LLC
The customer believed she had won the Canadian Lottery. To claim her $250,000
prize, she was told she would need to send the taxes due in the form of a            Michael L. Kasten
cashier's check made payable to her husband. The cashier's check was to be held      Managing Partner
and returned to her when she received her lottery winnings. She waited four long     Kasten Investments, LLC
weeks for the armored car to deliver her winnings, speaking often with
fictitious Canadian lottery officials who assured her that customs was holding       Don B. Lindner
up her delivery, and that she must have patience to reap this great reward.          Senior Consultant
Meanwhile, she learned that the check had cleared the Bank.                          Charon ECA

By the time she asked East Valley Community Bank to view the endorsement, our        Darra L. Rayndon
client was certain that she had lost $10,000, with no hope of recovery. The bank     Principal & President
operations officer intervened with good news. The endorsement on the cashier's       Rayndon & Longfellow, PC
check was obviously a forgery, and instead of a few days, as she had been lead
to believe, our client had plenty of time to dispute the transaction. Happily,       Gerry J. Smith
her $10,000 has been returned to her.                                                President

                BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                  GOSHEN COMMUNITY BANK

                    Robert C. Carr     Goshen Community Bank was formed with four main goals -- provide the best
          Executive Vice President     service of any Bank in Goshen, provide assistance to the community, establish a
           Capitol Bancorp Limited     great place for employees to work, and provide an excellent return to
                                       shareholders. Bank employees have opportunities to go above and beyond to assist
                    David L. Cripe     members of our community.
Doctor of Optometry/Senior Partner
             Drs. Cripe & Stephens     In October 2002 two customers entered Goshen Community Bank and requested a
                                       $7,000 advance on their joint credit card. While this activity seems harmless
                 Carol M. Ebersole     enough, it was when the couple returned and told the customer service
          VP Corporate Development     representative they needed additional funds that the employees of Goshen
              Goshen Health System     Community Bank exhibited integrity and an exceptional standard of behavior.
                                       While in conversation to complete the transaction, employees discovered that the
                 Stephen L. Fidler     couple had received a letter offering the chance to win $500,000 if they sent
                         President     money to Israel. The couple attempted to send the money to Israel but did not
              Kuert Concrete, Inc.     have funds sufficient to cover the wire transfer transaction, so they returned
                                       to the Bank.
              Christopher J. Graff
              President & Chairman     Employees asked the couple if a Bank employee could contact the police to
                      Marque, Inc.     confirm their suspicions about the request. Ultimately, the police and Goshen
                                       Community Bank employees convinced the couple that the situation was a scam. The
            Richard A. Hetler, Jr.     customers then stated they had already wired $6,000 and were very thankful they
  Vice President & General Manager     did not send another $7,000. They were very complimentary to everyone involved.
       Indiana Wood Products, Inc.     Their relationship with Goshen Community Bank saved them from being defrauded
                                       further. Goshen police commended Bank staff for intervening in the situation and
             Gregory A. Hoogenboom     providing personal financial safety to these citizens.
                         President
          Hoogenboom Masonry, Inc.     In this one customer encounter, Goshen Community Bank accomplished all four of
                                       its goals. Most important of all, Goshen Community Bank acted with the highest
               Douglas A. Johnston     degree of integrity and made a lasting impact on our customers' lives.

                    Bruce I. Ash     This year marks the 100th anniversary of flight when the Wright brothers changed
                  Vice President     the world of transportation. Their example of maximizing potential is a great
        Paul Ash Management, LLC     one. They succeeded where others failed by commitment to their goal. They
                                     focused on refining the details related to the balance and control required to
            Slivy Edmonds Cotton     launch a successful flight. Their goal was to fly an airplane, but their focus
                  Chairman & CEO     was on the many steps required to get there.

                                     The Bank of Tucson has not been around for 100 years, but it looks to the
               Michael J. Devine     example set by the Wrights as a lesson for success. Bank of Tucson focuses on
                 Attorney at Law     the details. Like the Wrights, Bank of Tucson identifies the steps necessary to
                                     achieve success. Our goal is to be the bank of choice for the Tucson community.

                 General Counsel     Bank of Tucson will celebrate its 7th anniversary this year. Each year we have
         Capitol Bancorp Limited     endeavored to take full advantage of the potential and opportunity that we face
                                     as a company and as individuals. We enjoy our affiliation with the other
                Richard N. Flynn     financial institutions in the Capitol Bancorp family because it helps us to
                       President     maximize our potential. We are able to focus on the details of servicing our
              Flynn & Associates     customers and developing our unique bank, while relying on the support from
                                     Capitol. We are also able to serve a greater range of customers in the Tucson
              Michael F. Hannley     community through our relationship with our affiliated banks.
                 President & CEO
                  Bank of Tucson     As the first Capitol affiliate in the Western regions, we liken ourselves to the
                                     Wright brothers. We are the Bank that completed the inaugural flight. Our
               Michael J. Harris     commitment to success is both an example for our affiliates, and a continued
                Associate Broker     challenge for our company and our employees.

                   BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                  MUSKEGON COMMERCE BANK

                   Dr. Rick E. Amidon     I've been asked many times by people outside of our organization, "What makes
                            President     your bank successful compared to your competition in Muskegon?" Muskegon
            Baker College of Muskegon     Commerce Bank's success can be partially attributed to many factors including:
                                          timing, luck, excellent employees and a dedicated Board of Directors. Still, the
                     Philip J. Andrie     primary reason that we've grown profitably has been our ability to Maximize our
                            President     Potential.
                         Andrie, Inc.
                                          While all of the Capitol Bancorp banks share similar core values, it is up to
                    William C. Cooper     each individual bank's management team to develop its own niche and to exploit
                            President     it to the bank's full advantage. I was often reminded during our organizational
                    Omni Fitness Club     period that the bank would not come with a playbook, and that all of Capitol's
                                          banks are successful for different reasons. What works in another community
                 Thomas F. DeVoursney     might not necessarily work in Muskegon and vice versa. Our challenge would be to
                            President     assess the market and to develop a strategy to showcase our strengths.
                    Shape Corporation
                                          When we opened our bank in late 1997, it had been over 100 years since a bank
                        Edgar W. Hunt     had been chartered in Muskegon. That, combined with the fact that we initially
                            President     had only six employees and only one location, made customers understandably
        United Way of Muskegon County     skeptical. We overcame the limitations of a single location by utilizing our
                                          courier service to greatly expand our service area. Although this practice had
                 Christopher L. Kelly     been widely used by the existing Capitol Bancorp banks, it was a new and welcome
                      Attorney at Law     service in Muskegon. Our courier now serves approximately 75 business customers
                    Parmenter O'Toole     within a 15 mile radius of the Bank that would likely not be customers without
                                          the service. We were also able to convince our customers that being small was an
                     Daniel J. Kuznar     advantage since the customers and staff could easily get acquainted and that all
                                Owner     decisions would be made by the six employees on site.
Quality Tool & Stamping Company, Inc.
                                          The most notable area in which we have maximized our potential is residential
                      Donald Martines     mortgage lending. While we're not among the top ten affiliate banks in terms of
                            President     asset size, we are consistently among the top two or three residential mortgage
 West Michigan Grinding & Machine Co.     producers. Muskegon Commerce Bank has been able to develop strong relationships
                          Ace Tooling     with homeowners, realtors, builders and developers in Muskegon that should pay
                                          dividends for years to come.

                            RED ROCK COMMUNITY BANK                                  BOARD OF DIRECTORS

By helping an employee realize a personal community service goal, Red Rock           Eric L. Colvin
Community Bank has made steps toward maximizing its potential as well. In August     Secretary/Treasurer
of 2002, Red Rock Community Bank joined with several other sponsors of a             Marnell Corrao Assoc., Inc.
nonprofit Hospice fundraiser to benefit terminally ill children and their
families.                                                                            Michael J. Devine
                                                                                     Attorney at Law
A Red Rock employee who has taken an active interest in the local Hospice
organization, and sits on the sponsoring Golden Monarch Council, brought this        Molly K. Hamrick
opportunity to the Bank. Our employee became interested in Nathan Adelson            Vice President & CFO
Hospice while serving as a United Way campaign representative. The group was         Coldwell Banker Premier Realty
given a tour after one of the leadership meetings was held at the Hospice
facility. After that one tour, our employee knew in her heart that it was a goal     Philip G. Hardy, Jr.
of hers to become a volunteer and to make a difference in the community.             Vice President & Project Manager
                                                                                     Hardy Painting & Drywall
She has recently reduced her role to a part-time basis at the Bank in order to
work in an expanded capacity as a hospice volunteer. Volunteering in this            James A. Harris
capacity required training classes that were held on Saturdays as well as an         Vice President
in-house job-shadowing program so that she could be effective with her patients      Brown and Brown Insurance
and families at this very difficult stage of life.
                                                                                     Keith W. Langlands
Preparations are already in motion for this year's annual event and our employee     Partner & CPA
is actively soliciting sponsorships throughout the community for the function.       Langlands and Anaya Limited
She continues to have interaction with several bank clients who have had
exposure to, or experience with, this same organization. Several banking             Charles L. Lasky
relationships have been strengthened and maintained due to her personal interest     President
in her clients and their mutual experiences involving hospice care.                  Lasky, Fifarek &  Hogan, P.C.

Red Rock will continue to develop with the community by responding to                Thomas C. Mangione
needs-personal and financial.                                                        Chairman, President & CEO

            BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                SUNRISE BANK OF SAN DIEGO

               Steven K. Black     Sunrise Bank of San Diego is passionate in our mission to provide unparalled
                      Director     service to our team members, clients, community, and shareholders, through
     Sunrise Bank of San Diego     embracing our belief in respect, integrity and an appreciation for the combined
                                   benefits of maximizing potential.
               Richard A. Byer
                     President     Our all-star team of bankers created this mission statement to represent a focus
      Bycor General Contractor     of continued growth as a premier community bank in San Diego and to compliment
                                   the core values of our bank development partner, Capitol Bancorp. Utilizing the
             Craig V. Castanos     talent and ability of our local team of professionals, while leveraging the
                     CPA/Owner     support of our partner, we share a vision embodied in the core value of
        Craig V. Castanos, CPA     maximizing potential as a company and as individuals.

            Randall S. Cundiff     Maximizing potential starts with promoting a culture where excellence is the
                     President     standard and everyone has the opportunity to grow -- both personally and
     Sunrise Bank of San Diego     professionally. In our effort to continually exceed client expectations,
                                   attracting and retaining individuals of the highest caliber is paramount. The
            William D. Hinz II     essence of this core value has helped us attain recognition as the 2002 #1
                           CEO     Community Bank SBA 504 Lender for San Diego County. The Small Business
       Sunrise Bank of Arizona     Administration honored Sunrise Bank as the number two overall bank lender in San
                                   Diego County, out of 25 lenders who participated in the small business loan
                 John S. Lewis     program. Our 14 varsity players outperformed expectations. The synergy of our
     President-Western Regions     efforts helped us close 15 SBA 504 loan transactions totaling over $18 million
       Capitol Bancorp Limited     in loan volume for the year.

            Toby T. Macfarlane     Through our network of secondary market funding sources and participations from
         Senior Vice President     our family of sister banks, we are meeting the financing needs of clients that
          United Title Company     would traditionally be out of the lending scope for a bank of our size. In
                                   September 2002, through the use of the SBA 504 loan program and participating
           Robert J. Matkovich     lenders, Sunrise Bank structured a financing package for a small business owner
Robert J. Matkovich, DDS, Inc.     to purchase a commercial property. The total project, which exceeded $3.5
                                   million, is an example of our ability to maximize alternative financing sources
                John F. McColl     for the benefit of our clients. The knowledge, expertise, and experience of our
               Owner/Treasurer     team combine to represent the potential of our organization. Attitude, drive,
         Trinity Housing Group     and dedication maximize return on our abilities.

           James L. McCullough

RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Capitol's management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements and all other information appearing in this annual report.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices of the financial
institution industry in the United States of America.

Capitol's management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining the
internal control structure of Capitol, its banks and its bank development
affiliates. The general objectives of the internal control structure are to
provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against
loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are completed
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America. In fulfilling this objective, management has various control
procedures in place which include 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.

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
actual future results, performance or achievements of Capitol and/or its
subsidiaries and other operating units to differ materially from those
contemplated in such forward-looking statements. The words "intend", "expect",
"project", "estimate", "predict", "anticipate", "should", "will", "may",
"believe", and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements.
Important factors which may cause actual results to differ from those
contemplated in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
(i) the results of 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 performance and collectability, (vi) competitive pressures
among financial 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 cost of capital, which may depend in part on Capitol's
asset quality, prospects and outlook, (x) changes in governmental regulation,
tax rates and similar matters, (xi) changes in management, and (xii) other risks
detailed in Capitol's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying
assumptions prove 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

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS

Capitol Bancorp's management is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and
fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this
annual report. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this
annual report have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and necessarily include some
amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments.

We, as executive management of Capitol Bancorp, are responsible for establishing
and maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are
designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The systems of
internal controls over financial reporting as they relate to the financial
statements contain self-monitoring mechanisms, and compliance is tested and
evaluated through a program of internal audits and other checks and test
procedures. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies when identified.
Any system of internal controls, no matter how well designed, has inherent
limitations, including the possibility that controls can be circumvented or
overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness
may vary over time. Accordingly, any effective system of internal controls will
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation.

Capitol's Audit Committee, consisting entirely of outside directors, meets
regularly with management, internal auditors and Capitol's independent auditors,
and reviews audit plans and results, as well as management's actions taken in
discharging responsibilities for accounting, financial reporting, and internal
controls. BDO Seidman, LLP, independent auditors, and our internal auditors have
direct and confidential access to Capitol's Audit Committee at all times to
discuss the results of their examinations.

Management assessed the Corporation's system of internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2002. Based on this assessment, management believes
that, as of December 31, 2002, its systems of internal controls over financial
reporting were adequate to meet those stated objectives of internal controls
over financial reporting.

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 seemingly passive 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 exploring acquisitions of existing banks.

Capitol's 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 predominately operates from a single office location.
     * Each bank can fully meet customers' needs anywhere, anytime through
         bankers-on-call, courier services, Internet and 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. Capitol's 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. 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, 2002, Capitol consisted of 29 community banks, operating in 8
states.

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, legal and risk management.

CAPITOL'S STRUCTURE
Capitol's structure is unique. Based on management's recent research, Capitol is
the second largest banking company in the United States, based on the number of
bank charters within its consolidated group. Of Capitol's twenty-nine banks,
most are directly owned by Capitol, and most of them are wholly-owned, as of
December 31, 2002.

At the beginning of 2002, Capitol's structure was much more complex. At that
time it had several second and third-tier subsidiary bank-development
subsidiaries (majority-owned by Capitol or by an affiliate) which, in turn, had
majority-owned bank subsidiaries. This complex structure was the result of
Capitol's significant bank-development expansion activities in the years of
1998-2001, which involved the formation of partially-owned bank-development
subsidiaries to form majority-owned DE NOVO banks.

That complex structure made it difficult to understand the component parts of
Capitol and how the multiple ownership tiers impacted consolidated operating
results. In response to that perceived difficulty and improved performance of
its maturing banks, Capitol's management embarked on a significant initiative in
2002 to simplify its structure by 'consolidating' the minority ownership of its
largest second and third-tier bank-development subsidiaries:

     *  Sun Community Bancorp Limited        ...COMPLETED MARCH 31, 2002
     *  Sunrise Capital Corporation          ...COMPLETED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
     *  Indiana Community Bancorp Limited    ...COMPLETED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
     *  Nevada Community Bancorp Limited     ...COMPLETED JANUARY 17, 2003

Each of these 'consolidations' involved Capitol issuing shares of its common
stock (previously unissued) in exchange for the minority interests of those
bank-development subsidiaries held by shareholders other than Capitol. Because
the Nevada share exchange was substantially complete at year end 2002, and
awaiting only the vote of its shareholders on January 17, 2003 (at which time it
was overwhelmingly approved, without any dissenting votes), it has been
reflected in Capitol's consolidated balance sheet as if it occurred on December
31, 2002.

With those bank-development subsidiaries becoming wholly-owned by Capitol, they
have subsequently been merged into Capitol and, accordingly, their direct bank
subsidiaries are now direct bank subsidiaries of Capitol.

The largest of these 'consolidation' transactions was the one involving Sun
Community Bancorp. Sun was formed by Capitol in 1997 and became a public company
in 1998, majority-owned by Capitol. Sun was the bank-development company focused
on Capitol's expansion in the Southwestern Region of the United States. Upon
completion of the 2002 share-consolidation with Capitol, Sun's executive offices
became Capitol's Western Regions' headquarters.

                                       8
<PAGE>
At year-end 2002, Capitol has one additional bank-development subsidiary which
is not discussed above. It is First California Northern Bancorp (majority-owned
by Capitol), which commenced operations in early 2002 and has one majority-owned
bank subsidiary. This bank-development company and its current subsidiary are in
their early stages of operation.

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 inhibit an understanding of the consolidated
financial statements. For example, consolidated balance sheets include all of
the combined entities' assets and liabilities. On the other hand, the
consolidated income statement includes all of the combined entities, but
includes net income only to the extent of the parent's ownership percentage.

Because of the number of banks and bank development companies added in recent
periods, comparing financial results for those and prior periods is difficult.
In 2002, two new banks were added. In 2001, one new bank was added. 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.

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 Western Regions.
Both sites use mainframe computers and software which are nearly identical.
While physically separate, both sites function under common management.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Capitol's most significant accounting policies are described in Note B of the
consolidated financial statements, beginning on page 33. Within those
significant polices are some which are particularly critical or crucial to a
reader's understanding of Capitol's financial position and results of
operations. Management believes Capitol's CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES to be the
following:

     *    USE OF ESTIMATES--Some very significant items (allowances for loan
          losses, tax accruals and determinations of fair values or impairment,
          for example) can have a pervasive impact on the reported financial
          position and results of operations.

     *    CREDIT RISK AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES--Again, because of the
          inherent subjectivity in estimating losses, actual variances from
          estimates or subsequent changes to estimates can be significant. In
          addition, many of Capitol's banks are quite young and do not have
          seasoned loan portfolios or significant past loss experience upon
          which to base current estimates of losses inherent in the loan
          portfolio at a particular balance-sheet date. Despite regulatory
          guidance and other standard-setting encouragement to reduce such loss
          estimation techniques to a mathematical formula, the fact remains that
          loss estimates require significant judgment on the part of management
          and cannot be reduced to be a succinct standard or actuarial formula
          in the context of Capitol's banks.

     *    ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES--Because of the level of taxation imposed
          upon corporate entities, including banks, at the federal level (up to
          35%, currently), measurement of income tax expense and related
          liabilities and deferred tax assets have a material effect on
          Capitol's financial statements. Further, some states in which
          Capitol's banks are domiciled have income tax rates which exceed 10%.

     *    ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL--A new accounting standard was issued in 2002,
          which changed the way companies account for goodwill. Capitol has
          goodwill on its balance sheet, which represents the 'premium' it has
          paid in conjunction with acquisition of minority interests in some of
          its subsidiaries and some other prior acquisitions. In the
          circumstances of Capitol, the new standard requires that goodwill will
          no longer be amortized. Instead, goodwill will be reviewed at least
          annually by management for impairment and impairment losses, if any,
          will be charged against operations when known.

CHANGES IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION
Total assets have grown significantly to $2.4 billion at year-end 2002 from $1
billion at the end of 1998. This sustained pace of asset growth is the result of
adding new banks and the ongoing growth and evolution of Capitol's more mature
banks.

At year-end 2002, total combined assets of the three banks formed within the
last two years approximated $113 million ($38 million at December 31, 2001).
Banks formed in 2000 reported total assets of $234 million at the end of 2002,
an increase of $61 million during the year. Total assets of the four banks which
became three years old in 2002 grew 12% during the past year to $243 million.
The six banks formed in 1998 continued strong asset growth of 21% in 2002,
achieving total assets of $410 million. The most mature group of banks, those
formed before 1998, reported total assets of $1.4 billion at year-end 2002, an
increase of about 9% for the year.

     Nevada Community Bancorp Limited as if it had occurred on December 31,
     2002.

Most of the consolidated assets consist of loans. Portfolio loans approximated
$2 billion at year-end 2002, and net portfolio loans approximated 81.5% of total
consolidated assets, a slight decrease from 83.7% at year-end 2001.

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 approximated $1.8 billion or about
89.8% of total portfolio loans at year-end 2002, a slight increase from 88.5% at
the end of 2001. Loan growth in 2002 was $257 million, or a growth rate of
14.8%--somewhat less than the growth rate experienced in preceding years due, in
part, to softer economic conditions.

The banks maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb estimated losses in
the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2002, the
allowance for loan losses approximated $29 million or 1.45% of portfolio loans,
compared to $23.2 million or 1.34% at the end of 2001. The allowance ratio was
increased in 2002 in response to higher levels of nonperforming loans and
potential problem loans. The following table summarizes portfolio loans, the
allowance for loan losses and its ratio, and nonperforming loans (in $1,000s):

Nonperforming loans, which consist of loans more than 90 days past due and loans
on nonaccrual status, approximated $22.9 million at year-end 2002, compared to
$17.2 million at the end of 2001, an increase of approximately $5.7 million.
Most of these are a small number of loans in various stages of resolution which
management believes to be adequately collateralized or otherwise appropriately
considered in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses.

In addition to the identification of nonperforming loans involving borrowers
with payment performance difficulties (i.e., nonaccrual loans and loans past-due
90 days or more), management utilizes an internal loan review process to
identify other potential problem loans which may warrant additional monitoring
or other attention. This loan review process is a continuous activity which
periodically updates internal loan classifications. At inception, all loans are
individually assigned a classification which grade the credits on a risk basis,
based on the type and discounted value of collateral, financial strength of the
borrower and guarantors and other factors such as nature of the borrowers'
business climate, local economic conditions and other subjective factors. The
loan classification process is fluid and subjective.

Potential problem loans include loans which are generally performing as agreed;
however, because of loan review's and/or lending staff's risk assessment,
increased monitoring is deemed appropriate. In addition, some loans are
identified for monitoring because of specific performance issues or other risk
factors requiring closer management and development of specific remedial action
plans.

At December 31, 2002, potential problem loans (including nonperforming loans)
approximated $98.5 million or about 5% of total consolidated portfolio loans.
Such totals typically approximate 4% to 5% of loans outstanding as an important
part of management's ongoing and augmented loan review activities which are
designed to early-identify loans which warrant close monitoring at the bank and
corporate credit-administration levels. It is important to note that these
potential problem loans do not necessarily have significant loss exposure (nor
are they necessarily deemed `impaired'), but rather are identified by management
in this manner to aid in loan administration and risk management. Management
believes these loans to be adequately considered in its evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes, however, that
current general economic conditions may result in higher levels of future loan
losses, in comparison to previous years.

Loan loss experience through December 31, 2002 remained below industry
statistics, although nonperforming and other potential problem loans have
increased. Loan charge-offs in 2002 at Capitol increased significantly, from
approximately $3 million in 2001 and 2000 to $7.7 million. Management's
assessment of loans as of December 31, 2002 suggests future loss experience will
return to levels more closely approximating past experience.

How financial institutions establish their allowance for loan losses is an
important and critical accounting policy and process. The allowance for loan
losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb
potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance-sheet date. It is
analyzed quarterly by each bank. The adequacy of the allowance is an estimate
based on management's 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.

Standard-setting bodies, regulatory agencies and the SEC (Securities and
Exchange Commission) have, on an industry-wide basis, separately issued
proposals and other guidance in recent years on how the allowance for loan
losses should be estimated and documented. 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.

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 have been increased at Capitol's
banks based on management's estimates of loss potential inherent in the loan
portfolios at the balance sheet date.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue growth has been significant. Total revenues grew to $171.4 million in
2002 from $73.2 million in 1998. The primary revenue source is interest income
from loans. Net interest income is the difference between total interest income
on loans and other earning assets and interest expense on deposits and
borrowings. The following graphs summarize growth in total revenue (which
includes noninterest income revenues such as fees and service charges) and net
interest income:

Most of the 2002 revenues, $103 million or about 60%, came from the most mature
banks--those formed prior to 1998. Banks formed in 2000, 1999 and 1998 reported
2002 revenues of $62.7 million or 36% of the consolidated total. The youngest
banks, those formed in 2002 and 2001, generated 2002 revenues totaling $6.4
million or about 4% of total consolidated revenues.

Noninterest income increased about 56% in both 2002 and 2001. These increases
resulted from higher levels of service-charge revenue associated with growth in
the number of accounts and banks. A significant increase in noninterest income
was also due to revenues from origination of non-portfolio mortgage loans. These
revenues increased about 116% to $6.8 million in 2002 as homeowners took
advantage of interest rates that decreased to their lowest levels in more than
thirty years. Additional discussion about mortgage loan origination activity
appears in the next section of this narrative.

Growth in net interest income, 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 net interest income,
however, was tempered by a decrease in yields on assets and a decrease in the
cost of interest-bearing funds which fund the growth at each of the banks. Net
interest margin decreased in 2001 mainly due to interest rate decreases
impacting interest income at a rate faster than decreases in interest rates paid
on deposits. In 2002, however, a more stable interest rate environment has
favorably impacted net interest margins at Capitol's banks from interest-bearing
deposits repricing at lower 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, and trends

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
Asset liquidity for financial institutions typically consists of cash and cash
equivalents, investment securities available for sale and loans held for resale.
These categories totaled $352 million at year-end 2002, or about 15% of total
assets. This compares to $262 million or 13% of total assets at year-end 2001.
Liquidity is important for financial institutions because of their need to meet
loan funding commitments, depositor withdrawal requests and various other
commitments discussed in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial
statements. Liquidity varies significantly daily, based on customer activity.

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.

Loans held for resale approximated $75.4 million at December 31, 2002, an
increase of about 21% over year end 2001 levels. These loans are residential
real estate mortgages originated by the banks, primarily through Capitol's
mortgage affiliate, Amera Mortgage Corporation. These loans are subsequently
sold into the secondary market, rather than being held in the banks' portfolio,
to reduce interest rate risk. Loan origination volume in 2002 increased nearly
37%, to $891.5 million compared to $651.1 million in 2001 and $251 million in
2000. Most of this volume was achieved through record low interest rates and
Amera's working with Capitol's Great Lakes Region banks. Future volume will
depend on whether interest rates remain low and the strength of residential real
estate market conditions. In early 2003, Amera's activities have expanded to
include all of Capitol's affiliate banks.

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 17% of total deposits at
year-end 2002 (about 16% at year-end 2001) and increased $88 million, or 32%,
during the year.

In recent periods, many banks 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 competitive
price, with tight net interest margins, especially during these most recent
periods of low interest rates. The banks do not generally rely on brokered
deposits as a key funding source (approximately $200 million at year-end 2002 or
11.7% of interest-bearing deposits compared to 9.7% in 2001); however, brokered
deposits are a ready resource to help meet urgent funding needs, such as loan
commitments (which are discussed in greater detail in Note O of the consolidated
financial statements).

To supplement their funding sources, some of the banks have lines of credit from
the Federal Home Loan Bank system. At year-end 2002, a total of $79 million ($63
million at year-end 2001) was borrowed under those facilities and additional
borrowing availability approximated $15 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 credit facilities aggregating $25 million from an unaffiliated bank.
At year-end 2002, a total of $12.5 million ($14.1 million at year-end 2001) was
borrowed under this facility. Borrowings under this credit facility were reduced
in 2002 and 2001 through use of available corporate funds within the
consolidated group.

Capitol's longer-term contractual obligations are disclosed in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements. Excluding time deposits of the banks, such
obligations consist principally of debt and lease obligations and
trust-preferred securities, summarized as follows (in $1,000s):

Loan commitments of Capitol's banks (stand-by letters of credit and unfunded
loans) generally expire within one year.

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
$28.0 million at year-end 2002, a decrease of $42.7 million from the $70.7
million level at year-end 2001. The decreases in minority interests in 2002
resulted mainly from Capitol consolidating the ownership of some of its
subsidiaries.

Three majority-owned bank-development subsidiaries became 100% owned in 2002. In
each of these transactions, the shares acquired from the minority shareholders
were exchanged for Capitol's common stock according to fixed, but differing,
exchange ratios. The exchange with Sun Community Bancorp (Sun) was completed
effective March 31, 2002 and resulted in the issuance of approximately 2.7
million Capitol shares. Share exchanges regarding Sunrise Capital Corporation
and Indiana Community Bancorp Limited were completed effective September 30,
2002 and resulted in the issuance of about 450,000 shares of Capitol.
Additionally, 383,000 Capitol shares were issued from the share exchange with
Nevada Community Bancorp Limited which was completed in January 2003; this
transaction has been reflected for balance-sheet purposes as if it occurred on
December 31, 2002.

Two majority-owned banks also became wholly-owned in 2002. Share exchange
transactions for Detroit Commerce Bank and East Valley Community Bank were
completed effective December 31, 2002. About 54,000 shares of Capitol's common
stock were issued in those 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.

Total stockholders' equity approximated $160.0 million at year-end 2002, an
increase of $79.9 million for the year. The 2002 increase in stockholders'
equity includes earnings (less dividends paid) and proceeds from the issuance of
common stock. A substantial portion of the increase in stockholders' equity was
the result of the previously-mentioned share-exchange transactions which reduced
minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries. The book value per share of
common stock was $13.72 at year-end 2002, compared with $10.24 at year-end 2001.
Cash dividends of $0.44 were paid in 2002, compared to $0.40 in 2001 and $0.36
in 2000. Future payment of dividends is subject to approval by Capitol's board
of directors, future operating performance and management's assessment of the
consolidated organization's capital adequacy.

Capitol's capital structure consists of these primary elements:
     *    Trust-preferred securities,
     *    Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, and
     *    Stockholders' equity.

In June 2002, Capitol participated in the private placement of a pooled
trust-preferred security totaling $3 million. This is a variable rate security
with a thirty year term and, subject to certain provisions, may be repaid early.
In 2001, Capitol participated in two private placements of pooled
trust-preferred securities totaling $25 million. These securities, along with
Capitol Trust I (a $25 million public offering of trust-preferred securities in
1997), are treated as elements of capital for regulatory purposes.

Total capitalization at year-end 2002 amounted to $239.6 million or 9.9% of
total assets. This compares to $199.5 million or 9.8% at year-end 2001.

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 specific ratio of capital-to-average-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 2002.

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 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, 2002 (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.

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. These most recent periods of
record low interest rates have created a huge volume of fixed-rate mortgage
refinancing activity; those loans are sold to the secondary market and are not
retained for the banks' loan portfolios. 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 November 2002, the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board
decreased interbank interest rates by 50 basis points. During 2001, the Federal
Reserve decreased interbank interest rates 11 times, which was an unprecedented
action to reduce rates 475 basis points within a year. 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. 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.

2001 marked the end of the longest peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history.
The terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, our Nation's subsequent war on
terrorism, the diagnosis of economic recession in the U.S., worldwide economic
and political instability, recent major business bankruptcies and their related
high-profile questionable accounting and financial reporting practices, raised
significant concerns over the near-term and longer-horizons for economic and
political uncertainty. 2002 ended with the United States' economy still mired in
recession and the threat of war looming. While there are some indications of an
improving economy, 2003 and beyond are very uncertain. At the time this
narrative was written, uncertainties of domestic economic health and global
stability preclude prediction of near-term trends and their potential effects.

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 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 2002 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 the most 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
There were several new accounting standards which were issued or became
effective in 2002, in addition to some which have later effective dates. They
are listed and discussed in Note B of the consolidated financial statements,
beginning on page 36.

Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, 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, 2002. 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, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets", effective January 1, 2002.

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

Capitol views itself as a bank-development company. In recent years it has
engaged in the formation of DE NOVO banks through majority ownership made
directly by Capitol, or through a subsidiary bank-development company, with the
remainder of the banks' start-up capital provided by local investors in the
bank's community. When the DE NOVO bank reaches a point of development near its
third year of operation, Capitol may offer the bank's minority shareholders an
opportunity to exchange their bank shares for shares of Capitol. Capitol has
made similar exchange proposals regarding the minority interests of some of its
bank-development-company subsidiaries. In each instance, however, Capitol is
under no obligation to offer such a share exchange and such share exchange
proposals are generally subject to approval by the minority shareholders in each
proposed transaction.

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 businesses and 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 less than 50%-owned affiliate.

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 2000, 2001 and 2002 are included in the consolidated
financial statements for periods after joining the consolidated group. Certain
2001 and 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002
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), money-market
funds and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds transactions are entered
into for a one-day period.

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. Fees from the origination
of loans held for resale are recognized in the period the loans are originated.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Investment securities available for sale (generally most
debt investment securities 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED


NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb estimated losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance
sheet date. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is an
estimate 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 generally approximate the direct costs of successful loan originations.

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, which relates primarily to equipment and furniture with estimated
useful lives of approximately three to seven years, is computed principally by
the straight-line method. Buildings are generally depreciated on a straight-line
basis with estimated useful lives of approximately 40 years. Leasehold
improvements are generally depreciated over the respective lease term.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES: Amortization of goodwill ceased, as required,
January 1, 2002, upon implementation of a new accounting standard (see "New
Accounting Standards" below). Goodwill is reviewed periodically by management
for impairment and, accordingly, impairment adjustments of goodwill are charged
against earnings, when determined. Other intangibles, which generally consist of
core deposit intangibles, are amortized over varying periods of less than 10
years and are not material.

OTHER REAL ESTATE: Other real estate (included as a component of other assets,
and at December 31, 2002 and 2001 approximated $4,605,000 and $3,044,000,
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 related
interpretations) and are granted at an exercise price equal to the market price
of common stock at grant date.

computed fair value of the options on the grant date. By not electing this
alternative, certain pro forma disclosures of the expense recognition provisions
of Statement No. 123 are required, which are as follows:

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.

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.

NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, requires that goodwill no longer
be amortized and charged against earnings, but instead be reviewed for
impairment. Amortization of goodwill ceased upon adoption of the Statement.
Capitol's previous business combinations (generally, acquisitions of minority
interests) have been accounted for using the purchase method. Upon
implementation, this new standard did not have a material effect on Capitol's
consolidated financial statements, other than the elimination of goodwill
amortization ($979,000 in 2001 and $561,000 in 2000) in future periods.

When goodwill is reviewed for potential impairment, impairment losses must be
charged against earnings if and when determined. Substantially all of Capitol's
recorded reporting-unit goodwill relates to acquisitions of minority interests
in consolidated subsidiaries. Such acquisitions have been made at modest
premiums in relation to the underlying fair value of net assets when acquired.
Based on management's review of recorded reporting-unit goodwill at the
transition date for Statement No. 142, January 1, 2002, and in the fourth
quarter of 2002, no impairment losses were identified as of those dates.

Statement No. 142 requires supplemental disclosure of historical information, as
adjusted to exclude amortization of goodwill no longer being amortized, which is
summarized below (in $1,000s except per share amounts):

expands disclosures about obligations under certain guarantees and, in addition,
requires recording a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken
in issuing the guarantee, applicable to guarantees issued or modified after
December 31, 2002. Capitol's disclosure of guarantees is made in Note O. This
new guidance had no impact on Capitol's consolidated financial position or
results of operations, upon implementation.

FASB Interpretation No. 46, CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES,
clarifies when some entities previously not consolidated under prior accounting
guidance, should be. This new guidance, which was effective upon issuance in
January 2003, is not expected to have a material effect upon Capitol's
consolidated financial statements.

In 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission, American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council each
issued new guidance (some of which remains to be finalized) on accounting for
allowances for loan losses. While the new guidance does not change prior
accounting rules in this area, it provides additional clarification and guidance
on how the calculation, adequacy and approval of the allowances should be
documented by management.

NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

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 consolidated financial statements.

If nonperforming loans had performed in accordance with their contractual terms
during the year, additional interest income of $1,514,000, $694,000 and $315,000
would have been recorded in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest income
recognized on loans in nonaccrual status in 2002, 2001 and 2000 operations
approximated $385,000, $513,000 and $205,000, respectively. At December 31,
2002, there were no material amounts of loans which were restructured or
otherwise renegotiated as a concession to troubled borrowers.

The amounts of the allowance for loan losses allocated in the following table

NOTE E--RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, Capitol's banking subsidiaries make loans to

Borrowings from Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) represent advances secured by
certain portfolio residential real estate mortgage loans and other eligible
collateral. Such advances become due at varying dates and bear interest at
market short-term rates (approximately 3.94% at December 31, 2002). At December
31, 2002, unused lines of credit under these facilities approximated $15
million.

Notes payable to unaffiliated bank represents borrowings under a line of credit.
Up to $25 million can be borrowed pursuant to a one-year revolving credit
agreement which bears interest at a variable rate (4% at December 31, 2002),
payable monthly. $12.5 million was drawn on the line of credit at December 31,
2002. 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. For the periods presented, interest
paid on all debt obligations approximates amounts charged to expense.

</TABLE>

Securities of Capitol Trust I were issued in a 1997 public offering. Capitol
Trust II and Capitol Statutory Trust III were formed in 2001 in conjunction with
private placements of pooled trust-preferred securities. Capitol Trust IV was
similarly formed in 2002. Each of these securities have similar terms and,
subject to certain provisions, may be called by the issuer five years after
issuance. The liquidation amount of these securities is guaranteed by Capitol.

Interest paid to the Trusts by Capitol (which is recorded as interest expense in
its consolidated financial statements) is distributed by the Trusts 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 these Trusts are subsidiaries (due to Capitol's ownership of the common
interests of the Trusts), they are 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, WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS

At December 31, 2002, a share exchange proposal was pending regarding the
minority interests of Nevada Community Bancorp Limited. This share exchange
proposal was subject to approval by Nevada's shareholders (other than Capitol)
at a meeting held on January 17, 2003, at which time the share exchange was
approved. Capitol has reflected the Nevada share exchange, for purposes of its
consolidated balance sheet, as if the share exchange occurred on December 31,
2002. Such share exchange resulted in Capitol issuing approximately 383,000
shares of its previously unissued common stock.

At December 31, 2002, approximately 30,000 warrants for the purchase of common
stock were outstanding. Each warrant permits the holder to purchase a share of
Capitol's common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 and expires in 2003.

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.
Of the stock options granted in 2000, pursuant to the Corporation's 2000 Stock
Option Plan, 563,435 vest over a three-year period; the remainder are fully
vested and currently exercisable. All such stock options expire seven years
after the date granted.

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. The note
receivable was repaid subsequent to December 31, 2002.

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, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $717,000,
$691,000 and $475,000, 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 2002, 2001 and 2000 approximated $405,000,
$525,000 and $180,000 (including ESOP note payable interest of $24,000, $37,000
and $49,000), 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, 2002, the ESOP held approximately
218,000 shares of Capitol's common stock which have been allocated to
participants' accounts and 18,000 shares of common stock with an approximate
fair value of $418,000 which have not yet been allocated to participants'
accounts.

NOTE O--COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND OTHER 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 ($17.3 million and $19.2 million outstanding at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively). Other loan commitments outstanding
consist of unused lines of credit and approved, but unfunded, specific loan
commitments ($455.6 million and $398.9 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
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.

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,
2002 and 2001 were $3.5 million and $2.4 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 ($16 million at December 31, 2002).

Capitol has guaranteed up to $7.5 million of secured borrowings by Amera
Mortgage Corporation, a less than 50%-owned affiliate.

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED


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 average 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, 2002, 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, 2002, that Capitol and the banks meet
all capital adequacy requirements to which the entities are subject.

     Detroit Commerce Bank                 December 31, 2002         16,371


Had these acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 2002, consolidated net
income would have approximated $17 million and diluted earnings per share would
have been $1.20. Each of these acquisitions have been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

During 2000, three banks which were previously majority-owned by Capitol
(Brighton Commerce Bank, Kent Commerce Bank and Muskegon Commerce Bank) became
wholly-owned, resulting from share exchange transactions with the banks'
minority shareholders. Had those acquisitions of minority interests occurred at
the beginning of 2000, consolidated net income would have approximated $7.9
million and diluted earnings per share would have been $1.04.

NOTE S--PENDING AND PROPOSED SHARE EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS

As stated previously (see Note J), a share exchange proposal was pending at
December 31, 2002 regarding Nevada Community Bancorp Limited which was approved
by its shareholders in January 2003. For purposes of its consolidated balance
sheet, Capitol has reflected the Nevada share exchange as if it occurred on
December 31, 2002.

In early 2003, Capitol and the boards of directors of Red Rock Community Bank,
Desert Community Bank and Elkhart Community Bank (such banks being
majority-owned by Capitol) approved separately a plan of share exchange for each
bank. The share exchange proposals are subject to approval by the banks'
respective shareholders (other than Capitol). If the share exchange proposals
are approved, Capitol estimates it would issue approximately 623,000 shares of
its common stock.
