The words “intend”, “expect”, “project”, “estimate”, “predict”, “anticipate”, “should”, “believe”, and similar expressions also are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CAPITOL BANCORP LTD.


Note A – Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Capitol Bancorp Ltd. (“Capitol”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

        The statements do, however, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature (in accordance with Rule 10-01(b)(8) of Regulation S-X) which Capitol considers necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

        The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

        The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.


Note B – Bank Development Activities

        Bank development efforts are currently under consideration at June 30, 2003 in several states including pre-development exploratory discussions, lease and employment negotiations and preparation of preliminary regulatory applications for formation and/or acquisition of community banks.


Note C – Pending Share Exchange Transactions

        At June 30, 2003, share exchange proposals were pending regarding Black Mountain Community Bank, Desert Community Bank, Elkhart Community Bank and Red Rock Community Bank, which are majority-owned subsidiaries of Capitol. Such share exchange proposals were subject to the approval of the minority shareholders of those banks at shareholder meetings held in late July 2003. The share exchange proposals were subsequently approved and Capitol will issue approximately 982,000 shares of previously unissued shares of its common stock to acquire the minority interests of those banks. Upon completion of the share exchange transactions, effective July 31, 2003, those banks will be wholly-owned by Capitol.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CAPITOL BANCORP LTD. — Continued


Note F – Impact of New Accounting Standards

        The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued Statements No. 146 (Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities) and No. 149 (Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities). These new standards have varying effective dates in 2003 and had no material effect on Capitol’s financial statements, upon implementation.

        Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and it amends the prior disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require more prominent and frequent disclosures about the effects of stock-based compensation, including interim disclosures (such interim disclosures appear in Note E). As permitted, Capitol has retained its prior method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

        FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees and Indebtedness of Others, 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. This new guidance had no material effect 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, had no material effect upon Capitol’s consolidated financial statements upon implementation.

        Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, clarifies how some instruments or securities should be classified on an issuer’s balance sheet and their related impact on income and results of operations. It is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is otherwise effective for Capitol’s consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2003. Implementation of this new standard will result in reclassification of Capitol’s trust-preferred securities from their current mezzanine classification to debt obligations on Capitol’s consolidated balance sheet. This new standard is expected to have no material impact on Capitol’s results of operations upon implementation. It is Capitol’s understanding that the issuance of Statement No. 150 and FASB Interpretation No. 46 has resulted in the Federal Reserve Board announcing potential future reconsideration of trust-preferred securities as elements of regulatory capital.

        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.

        Portfolio loans increased during the six-month 2003 period by approximately $93 million. The majority of portfolio loan growth occurred in commercial loans, consistent with the banks’ emphasis on commercial lending activities. Portfolio loan growth in 2003 is net of about $38 million of commercial loans sold to other financial institutions.

        The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2003 approximated $29.5 million or 1.42% of total portfolio loans, a decrease from the year-end 2002 ratio of 1.45%.

        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. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluation of the portfolio (including potential impairment of individual loans and concentrations of credit), past loss experience, current economic conditions, volume, amount and composition of the loan portfolio, loan commitments outstanding and other factors. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and reduced by net charge-offs.

        Net charge-offs of loans increased approximately $1.5 million in 2003, compared to the six-month period in 2002. The increase was mainly due to losses associated with loans secured by business equipment and accounts receivable.

        Nonperforming loans increased approximately $4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. Of the nonperforming loans at June 30, 2003, about 65% are real estate secured. Those loans, when originated, had appropriate loan-to-value ratios and, accordingly, have loss exposure which is expected to be minimal; however, underlying real estate values depend upon current economic conditions and liquidation strategies. Most other nonperforming loans are generally secured by other business assets. Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2003 are in various stages of resolution for which management believes such loans are 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 ratings. At inception, all loans are individually assigned a rating which grades 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 borrower’s business climate, local economic conditions and other subjective factors. The loan rating 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 assigned a more adverse classification, with specific performance issues or other risk factors requiring close management and development of specific remedial action plans.

        At June 30, 2003, potential problem loans (including the previously mentioned nonperforming loans) approximated $110 million, or about 5% of total consolidated portfolio loans. These potential problem loans do not necessarily have significant loss exposure (nor are they necessarily deemed ‘impaired’), but rather are classified by management in this manner to aid in loan administration and risk management. Management believes such 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, as evidenced by higher loan losses in the interim 2003 period.

Results of Operations

        Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was $11 million, an increase of $4 million or 58% over the same period in 2002. Diluted earnings per share for the six-month 2003 period were $0.89 compared to $0.73 for the prior year period. Second quarter 2003 earnings were a new record level, $5.7 million, an increase of $1.8 million over the same period in 2002; diluted earnings per share were $0.45 compared to $0.35 in 2002. The percentage increase in net income per share was less than the percentage increase in the amount of net income in 2003 because of the larger share base resulting from Capitol’s 2002 share exchanges regarding Sun Community Bancorp, Sunrise Capital Corporation, Indiana Community Bancorp and Nevada Community Bancorp.

        Net interest income for the first six months of 2003 totaled $55 million, a 16% increase compared to $47.2 million in 2002. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $28 million, a 15% increase as compared to $24.4 million for the comparable period in 2002. This increase is attributable to the banks’ growth in size and a somewhat stable interest rate environment.

        Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $9.7 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 57%, over the same period in 2002. Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $5.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 52%, over the same period in 2002. Fees from origination of nonportfolio residential mortgage loans totaled $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2003, and were $4.8 million for the six-month period, as compared to $1.5 million and $2.4 million for the comparable periods in 2002, respectively, due to continuing high volume of loan fees derived from residential mortgage loan refinance activity resulting from sustained low interest rates. Service charges on deposit accounts increased in the six-month 2003 period by 9%, compared to 2002, due to growth in the size of banks.

        The provision for loan losses for the six-month period in 2003 was $3.7 million, as compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2002. The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $1.8 million as compared to $2.7 million during the corresponding 2002 period. The provisions for loan losses are based upon management’s analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, as previously discussed.

        Noninterest expense totaled $43.1 million for the six-month period and $22 million for the second quarter in 2003, as compared to $37.8 million and $19 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2002. The increase in noninterest expense is associated with growth in the size of the banks and increases in general operating costs. Increases in both occupancy and salaries and employee benefits relate primarily to the growth in the size of banks within the consolidated group. Other noninterest expense in the 2002 period included the preopening costs of two start-up banks which commenced operations in the first quarter of the year (none in the interim 2003 period).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The principal funding source for asset growth and loan origination activities is deposits. Total deposits increased $181 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, slightly more than the $168 million increase in the corresponding period of 2002. Growth occurred in most interest-bearing deposit categories, with the majority coming from time deposits. The banks generally do not rely on brokered deposits as a key funding source; brokered deposits approximated $206 million as of June 30, 2003, or about 9% of total deposits, an increase of $5.7 million during the interim 2003 period. Brokered deposits, as a funding source, have increased in recent periods due to competitive environments and selective opportunities to grow deposits at a faster pace and/or lower cost than traditional sources, and may similarly increase in future periods.

        Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 17.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2003 and 17.5% at December 31, 2002. Levels of noninterest-bearing deposits can, however, fluctuate based on customers’ transaction activity.

        Interim 2003 deposit growth was deployed primarily into commercial loans, consistent with the banks’ emphasis on commercial lending activities.

        Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $342 million or 13% of total assets at June 30, 2003, compared with $251 million or 10% of total assets at December 31, 2002. As liquidity levels vary continuously based on customer activities, amounts of cash and cash equivalents can vary widely at any given point in time. Management believes the banks’ liquidity position at June 30, 2003 is adequate to fund loan demand and meet depositor needs.

        In addition to cash and cash equivalents, a source of long-term liquidity is the banks’ marketable investment securities. Liquidity needs have not historically necessitated the sale of investments in order to meet funding requirements. The banks have not engaged in active trading of their investments. At June 30, 2003, the banks had approximately $28.6 million of investment securities classified as available for sale which can be utilized to meet various liquidity needs as they arise.

        Some of the banks have secured lines of credit with a Federal Home Loan Bank. Borrowings thereunder approximated $81.2 million and additional borrowing capacity approximated $27.6 million at June 30, 2003. These borrowings increased slightly ($2 million in the interim period of 2003) as a lower-cost funding source versus various rates and maturities of time deposits. At June 30, 2003, Capitol had unused lines of credit from an unrelated financial institution aggregating $25 million.

        In March 2003, Capitol participated in a pooled trust-preferred securities offering, structured with a 30-year maturity and a variable interest rate, with net proceeds of approximately $9.7 million. These securities augment Capitol’s existing capital base and the proceeds have been used to reduce borrowings from an unaffiliated bank.


Page 18 of 24



        Capitol and its banks are subject to complex regulatory capital requirements, which require maintaining certain minimum capital ratios. These ratio measurements, in addition to certain other requirements, are used by regulatory agencies to determine the level of regulatory intervention and enforcement applied to financial institutions. Management believes Capitol and each of its banks are in compliance with regulatory requirements and are expected to maintain such compliance.

        Stockholders’ equity, as a percentage of total assets, approximated 6.9% at June 30, 2003 a slight increase from 6.6% at the beginning of the year. Total capital funds (Capitol’s stockholders’ equity, plus minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, plus guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in the Corporation’s subordinated debentures) aggregated $273.9 million or 10.5% of total assets at June 30, 2003.

        In April 2003, Capitol announced the completion of an $11 million private placement of its common stock to select institutional investors and the issuance of approximately 550,000 shares of previously unissued common stock. Proceeds from the offering have been used to reduce borrowings from an unaffiliated bank and deployed into short–term investments.

        Effective June 24, 2003, Capitol’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “CBC”. Upon becoming NYSE-listed, Capitol terminated its prior Nasdaq listing.

        At June 30, 2003, share exchange proposals were pending regarding Black Mountain Community Bank, Desert Community Bank, Elkhart Community Bank and Red Rock Community Bank, which are majority-owned subsidiaries of Capitol. Such share exchange proposals were subject to the approval of the minority shareholders of those banks at shareholder meetings held in late July 2003. The share exchange proposals were subsequently approved and Capitol will issue approximately 982,000 shares of previously unissued shares of its common stock to acquire the minority interests of those banks. Upon completion of the share exchange transactions, effective July 31, 2003, those banks will be wholly-owned by Capitol.

        Capitol’s operating strategy continues to be focused on the ongoing growth and maturity of its existing banks, coupled with new bank expansion in selected markets as opportunities arise. Accordingly, Capitol may invest in, acquire or otherwise develop additional banks in future periods, subject to economic conditions and other factors, although the timing of such additional banking units, if any, is uncertain. Such future new banks and/or additions of other operating units could be either wholly-owned, majority-owned or otherwise controlled by Capitol.


Page 19 of 24



Trends Affecting Operations

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

        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 a difference 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.

        In the first six months of 2003, interest rates have remained relatively stable. The future outlook on interest rates and their impact on Capitol’s interest income, interest expense and net interest income is uncertain.

        Start-up banks generally incur operating losses during their early periods of operations. Recently-formed start-up banks are expected to detract from consolidated earnings performance and start-up banks formed in 2003 and beyond will similarly negatively impact short-term profitability.

        General economic conditions also have a significant impact on both the results of operations and the financial condition of financial institutions.

        Media reports raising questions about the health of the domestic economy have continued in 2003. During the second quarter of 2003, nonperforming loans have increased and it is anticipated that levels of nonperforming loans and related loan losses may increase as economic conditions, locally and nationally, evolve.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

        There are several new accounting standards either becoming effective or being issued in 2003. They are listed and discussed in Note F of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Capitol’s critical accounting policies are described on page 10 of the financial section of its 2002 Annual Report. In the circumstances of Capitol, management believes its “critical accounting policies” are those which encompass the use of estimates (because of inherent subjectivity), allowance for loan losses (due to the inherent subjectivity in estimating loan losses), accounting for income taxes (due to the significant U.S. corporate income tax rate and realization of deferred tax assets) and accounting for goodwill (due to new accounting standards effective at the beginning of 2002).

PART I, ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Capitol maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information Capitol must disclose in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.
