Explanatory Note

Capitol is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to revise its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 that were part of Form 10-Q that Capitol filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 31, 2009.

This Amendment No. 1 reflects revised interpretation of fair-value accounting guidance (FSP FAS 157-4) to properly base fair-value estimates of collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned upon appraisal data rather than use of alternative valuation methods.  FAS 157-4 was initially implemented in error for the period ended March 31, 2009, as disclosed in Capitol's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

When Capitol initially implemented FSP FAS 157-4 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, management made significant adjustments to appraisal data and used some alternative valuation methods, reducing estimated losses relating to fair value by $8 million.  As 2009 progressed, additional regulatory guidance suggested that substantially all such fair value estimates should be based solely upon appraisal data rather than use of alternative valuation methods.  As of December 31, 2009, substantially all fair value estimates for collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned were based solely on appraisal data.

The information in this Amendment No. 1 not only revises the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that were contained in the originally-filed Form 10-Q for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, but also amends other information in that Form 10-Q affected by the revision described above.  Therefore, this Amendment No. 1 should be read together with the originally-filed Form 10-Q.  Furthermore, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the originally-filed Form 10-Q or update information or disclosures contained in the originally-filed Form 10-Q that were not affected by the revision described above.  Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 also should be read in conjunction with subsequent filings of financial information by Capitol relating to its financial position and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, as information in such subsequent filings may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q.

The following items of the originally-filed Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2009 have been revised:

Part I – Financial Information:
Item 1 – Financial Statements (unaudited)
Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, updated certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as Exhibit 31.1, Exhibit 31.2, Exhibit 32.1 and Exhibit 32.2 to this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q which are currently dated April 27, 2010.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the statements contained in this document, including Capitol's consolidated financial statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in documents incorporated into this document by reference that are not historical facts, including, without limitation, statements of future expectations, projections of results of operations and financial condition, statements of future economic performance and other 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," "believe," and similar expressions also are intended to 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 and access to 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) availability of funds under the U.S. Treasury's Capital Assistance Program, (xii) changes in management, (xiii) Capitol's proposed spin-off of Michigan Commerce Bancorp Limited; (xiv) consummation of pending sales of certain bank subsidiaries, and (xv) other risks detailed in Capitol's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED

Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Capitol Bancorp Limited (Capitol or the Corporation) 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The condensed consolidated financial 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 periods ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.  Certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.

Note B – Implementation of New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a definition of fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands related financial statement disclosures.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2 which deferred the effective date of Statement No. 157 until January 1, 2009 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or on a more frequently recurring basis.  The implementation of previously deferred aspects of Statement No. 157 in 2009 (as permitted by FSP FAS 157-2) did not have a material effect on the Corporation's results of operations or financial position.  Fair value disclosures are set forth in Note D to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51, to create accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  Statement No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require (1) the ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parent's equity, (2) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, (3) changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently, (4) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary to be initially measured at fair value and (5) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  Statement No. 160 became effective for Capitol on January 1, 2009 and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect implementation of the new accounting standard.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations, to further enhance the accounting and financial reporting related to business combinations.  Statement No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (2) recognizes and measures goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, (3) requires that acquisition-related and restructuring costs be recognized separately from the acquisition, generally charged to expense when incurred and (4) determines information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  Statement No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009.  The effects of the Corporation's adoption of Statement No. 141(R) had no impact upon implementation and its subsequent impact will depend upon the extent and magnitude of acquisitions in the future.

Note B – Implementation of New Accounting Standards – Continued

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued the following FSPs, each of which become effective for second quarter reporting, with earlier implementation permitted for the first calendar quarter of 2009.  Capitol elected to implement the new guidance effective January 1, 2009.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in addition to annual reporting.  The required disclosures are included in Note D to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make it more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in financial statements.  Implementation of this new guidance did not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements.  The expanded interim disclosures about investment securities are set forth in Note C to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

FSP FAS 157-4 amends prior fair value guidance to aid in determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly.  This new guidance is intended to clarify that significant adjustments to quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and activity for the asset/liability in relation to normal market activity.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset (or paid to transfer a liability) in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between willing market participants under current market conditions.  Fair-value information is presented in Note D (as revised) and discussed further in Note J.

In March 2008 the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  This new guidance revises the presentation and disclosure of derivatives and hedging activities, became effective for Capitol on January 1, 2009 and did not have a material impact on Capitol's condensed consolidated financial statements upon implementation.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSB FAS 140-3, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions.  The new guidance clarifies transfers and certain transactions' accounting subject to the provisions of FAS 140 and became effective January 1, 2009.  This new guidance did not have a material impact on Capitol's financial position or results of operations upon implementation.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events.  This new guidance requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and became effective June 30, 2009.  This new guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are set forth in Note I to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.  This new guidance revises the presentation and disclosure of transfers of financial assets and the effects of a transfer on an entity's financial position, operating results and cash flows.  Statement No. 166 applies to annual financial statements and interim periods beginning on or after November 15, 2009.  Management has not completed its review of this new guidance.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.  On the effective date of this statement, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) will supersede all then-existing non-Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accounting and reporting standards.  All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and will not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

Note C – Investment Securities—Continued

Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2009 represents an other-than-temporary loss (primarily due to such amounts being attributable to changes in interest rates).  Further, it does not intend to sell such securities and believes it is unlikely sale would become required before the amortized cost can be recovered.

Gross realized gains and losses from sales and maturities of investment securities were insignificant for the periods presented.

    $ 47,309     $ 47,470  

Note D – Fair Value

FAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the use of fair value inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 
Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 
Level 2:  Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 
Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The following is a description of Capitol's valuation methodologies used to measure and disclose the fair values of its assets and liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis:

 
Investment securities available for sale:  Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based on quoted prices, when available (Level 1).  If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models (Level 2).

 
Mortgage loans held for sale:  Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and are measured on a nonrecurring basis.  There were no mortgage loans held for sale written down to fair value at June 30, 2009.  Fair value is based on independent quoted market prices, where applicable, or the prices for other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics.

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED – Continued

Note D – Fair Value – Continued

 
Loans:  The Corporation does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.  However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price, current appraised value of the collateral or other estimates of fair value.

 
Other real estate owned:  At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed properties are adjusted to fair value less estimated costs to sell upon transfer from portfolio loans to other real estate owned, establishing a new accounting basis.  The Corporation subsequently adjusts fair value on other real estate owned on a nonrecurring basis to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price, current appraised value of the asset or other estimates of fair value.

(1)  
Represents carrying value and related write-downs for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral.

Many of Capitol's collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are located in severely depressed real estate markets.  In those markets, appraisal data may be of limited usefulness in estimating fair value because comparable sale transactions are infrequent, not orderly and are often distressed or forced.

Capitol began applying the fair value measurement and disclosure provisions of FAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2009 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which did not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial position upon implementation.  The Corporation measures the fair value of the following on a nonrecurring basis:  (1) long-lived assets, (2) foreclosed assets (other real estate owned), (3) the reporting unit under step one of its goodwill impairment test and (4) indefinite lived intangible assets.

Estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities in the preceding table are based upon a comparison of current interest rates on financial instruments and the timing of related scheduled cash flows to the estimated present value of such cash flows using current estimated market rates of interest (unless quoted market values or other fair value information is more readily available).  For example, the estimated fair value of portfolio loans is based on discounted cash flow computations.  Similarly, the estimated fair value of time deposits, debt obligations and subordinated debentures were determined through discounted cash flow computations.  Such estimates of fair value are not intended to represent market value or portfolio liquidation value, and only represent an estimate of fair value based on current financial reporting requirements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED – Continued

Note D – Fair Value – Continued

Given current market conditions, a portion of the loan portfolio is not readily marketable and market prices do not exist.  Capitol has not attempted to market the loan portfolio to potential buyers, if any exist, to determine the fair value of those instruments in accordance with the definition in FAS No. 157.  Since negotiated prices in illiquid markets depend upon the then present motivations of the buyer and seller, it is reasonable to assume that actual sales prices could vary widely from any estimate of fair value made without the benefit of negotiations.  Additionally, changes in market interest rates can dramatically impact the value of financial instruments in a short period of time.  Accordingly, the fair value measurements for loans included in the table on the preceding page are unlikely to represent the instruments' liquidation values.

Stock options were granted in the first six months of 2009 and 2008, with an aggregate fair value approximating $240,000 and $255,000, respectively.  Stock options granted during the interim 2009 period have a vesting date of December 31, 2009 and stock options granted during the interim 2008 period (52,360) became vested at December 31, 2008.  Each stock option expires seven years from date of grant.  Share-based compensation expense relating to stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 approximated $238,000 and $411,000, respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.23 years and had no intrinsic value at that date.  The following table summarizes stock options outstanding segregated by exercise price range as of June 30, 2009:

Note G – Trust-Preferred Securities

In April 2009, the Corporation determined that it would commence the deferral of interest payments on its various trust-preferred securities, as is permitted under the terms of the securities, to conserve cash and capital resources.  The payment of interest may be deferred for periods up to five years.  During such deferral periods, Capitol is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock (subject to certain exceptions) and will continue to accrue interest payable on such securities.  Holders of the trust-preferred securities will continue to recognize current taxable income relating to the deferred interest payments.

Note H – Share-Exchange Transaction

Effective May 31, 2009, Capitol completed a share-exchange transaction with the noncontrolling shareholders of Bank of Auburn Hills, previously a 51% owned subsidiary.  In conjunction with the share exchange, Capitol issued 227,000 previously unissued shares of Capitol's common stock and warrants for the purchase of 76,000 shares of Capitol's common stock.  The exercise price of the warrants is $20.37 per share of Capitol's common stock, which expire May 31, 2012.  As a result of the share exchange transaction, Bank of Auburn Hills became wholly-owned.  Capitol's results of operations would not have been materially different if it had occurred at the beginning of 2009 or 2008.

Note I – Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q on July 31, 2009.

In July 2009, Capitol entered into definitive agreements to sell the following four affiliate institutions:  Bank of Belleville, Bank of Santa Barbara, 1st Commerce Bank and Community Bank of Rowan.  The projected financial impact of the divestiture of these four institutions, along with the sale of Yuma Community Bank announced in May 2009, is set forth in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet (along with the proposed spin-off discussed in the following paragraphs) on page 37.

On July 21, 2009, Capitol announced its intention to formally and legally separate the operations of Michigan Commerce Bancorp Limited (MCBL) as an independent publicly-traded company, through a spin-off transaction.  Upon completion of the proposed spin-off, Capitol will continue to be a bank holding company with national banking operations and MCBL will be a separate publicly-traded bank holding company consisting of the substantial majority of Capitol's prior Michigan-based banks (see accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements on pages 35 and 36).

In the proposed spin-off, Capitol's shareholders will receive shares of MCBL common stock according to a distribution ratio.  The distribution ratio and related record date for the proposed distribution will be determined in the near future.  The proposed spin-off is subject to a number of contingencies.  The proposed spin-off will enable the two separate publicly-traded companies to focus on maximizing opportunities for the distinct business markets of each, and will allow both Capitol and MCBL to each develop and implement a strategic plan that fits their specific market and operations.

MCBL's consolidated total assets approximated $1.25 billion or about 22% of Capitol's total assets as of June 30, 2009.  If the proposed spin-off had been completed on June 30, 2009, consolidated total assets of Capitol would have approximated $4.5 billion, while reflecting a 31% decline in nonperforming assets and a modest increase in the consolidated total capital ratio.  If the proposed spin-off would have occurred at the beginning of 2009, the consolidated net loss attributable to stockholders of Capitol would have been reduced 40% to $22.1 million ($1.29 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

In July 2009, Capitol proposed a share exchange offer regarding the shares of CDBLs III-VI not already owned by Capitol, whereby there may be an opportunity to exchange Class B common stock of the CDBLs for a combination of convertible preferred stock of Capitol and trust-preferred securities.  If all of the CDBL III-VI shareholders were to exchange their shares pursuant to the proposed exchange offer, Capitol would issue convertible preferred stock with a preference value of approximately $66.7 million and trust-preferred securities with an aggregate liquidation value approximating $23.5 million.  If all CDBL III-VI shareholders were to exchange their CDBL interests, as proposed and if consummated, Capitol's net loss attributable to Capitol Bancorp Limited would have approximated $42.6 million ($2.48 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The proposed exchange offer is subject to a number of contingencies.
 
Note J – Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 have been revised to properly base fair-value estimates of collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned upon appraisal data rather than use of alternative valuation methods under fair value accounting guidance (FSP FAS 157-4).  FSP FAS 157-4 was initially implemented in error for the period ended March 31, 2009.

When Capitol initially implemented FSP FAS 157-4 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, management made significant adjustments to appraisal data and used some alternative valuation methods, reducing estimated losses relating to fair value by $8 million.  As 2009 progressed, additional regulatory guidance suggested that substantially all such fair value estimates should be based solely upon appraisal data rather than use of alternative valuation methods.  As of December 31, 2009, substantially all fair value estimates for collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned were based solely on appraisal data.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 have been revised to properly base fair-value estimates of collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned upon appraisal data rather than use of alternative valuation methods under fair value accounting guidance (FSP FAS 157-4).  FSP FAS 157-4 was initially implemented in error for the period ended March 31, 2009.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued
 
Financial Condition – Continued
 
Portfolio loans, the single largest asset category, decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2009 by approximately $158 million, compared to loan growth of about $250 million during the corresponding period of 2008.  Portfolio growth has slowed in response to the need to preserve liquidity and capital in the current economic climate and the general economic slowdown occurring nationally.

Geographic diversification of Capitol's balance sheet has become increasingly important.  Prior to 1996, all of Capitol's banking operations were located in Michigan.  As of June 30, 2009, 37% of the consolidated loan portfolio relates to banks located within the Great Lakes Region (39% at December 31, 2008) and 63% of the consolidated loan portfolio relates to banks located in other regions of the country (61% at December 31, 2008).  The reason why this is important is that Capitol's diversification efforts will add stability to results of operations by further reducing a disproportionate geographic concentration within a specific region.  On July 21, 2009, Capitol announced the proposed spin-off of the substantial majority of its Michigan banking operation which, if completed, would minimize Capitol's future exposure to the Michigan economy.  The proposed spin-off transaction is discussed elsewhere in this narrative.
 
The consolidated allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2009 approximated $114 million or 2.50% of total portfolio loans, a significant increase from the 1.96% ratio at the beginning of the year.

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 and other factors.  The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and reduced by net charge-offs.  The table below summarizes portfolio loan balances and activity in the allowance for loan losses (in thousands):

Interim loan charge-offs for the six-month 2009 period, which increased significantly compared to 2008, are not necessarily indicative of future charge-off levels because of the variability in asset quality and resolution of nonperforming loans.  The significant increase in the provision for loan losses in 2009 was associated primarily with Michigan and certain Arizona and Nevada banks, due to growth in nonperforming loans and a sustained difficult and uncertain economic climate.  The interim 2009 provision for loan losses is discussed in further detail in the ‘Results of Operations’ section of this narrative.

The amounts of the allowance for loan losses allocated in the following table (dollars in thousands) are based on management's estimate of losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date and should not be interpreted as an indication of future charge-offs:

Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2009 approximated 5.70% of total portfolio loans, an increase from the December 31, 2008 ratio of 3.59%.  Nonperforming loans increased $91 million or 53% during the six-month 2009 period.  Notably, the increase in nonperforming loans during the three months ended June 30, 2009 was about half of the corresponding increase during the preceding quarter.  Of the nonperforming loans at June 30, 2009, about 90% were real estate secured.  Those loans, when originated, had appropriate loan-to-value ratios based upon real estate market conditions at that time and, accordingly, have loss exposure which would be expected to be minimal; however, underlying real estate values depend upon current economic conditions and liquidation strategies.  Most other nonperforming loans were generally secured by other business assets.  Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2009 were 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.

Due to local and regional economic conditions, there is uncertainty in future real estate values, appraisal results and the resulting potential impact on valuation of collateral-dependent loans and real estate owned.  The fair value measurement of collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned is dependent primarily upon appraisal of the underlying property value.  Fair value measurement has been defined in a relatively recent accounting standard, Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 157 (see Note B of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements).  Management cautiously monitors real estate values and related appraisal data when evaluating such valuations.

Many of Capitol's collateral-dependent impaired loans are located in severely depressed real estate markets.  In those markets, appraisal data may be of limited usefulness in estimating fair value because comparable sale transactions are infrequent, not orderly and are often distressed or forced.

Total nonperforming loans approximated $261 million at June 30, 2009.  Of that total, $135 million or 52% (including some loans carried at the parent level) were originated by banks within the Great Lakes Region, primarily located in Michigan.  Within the Great Lakes Region, nonperforming loans approximated 2.95% of total portfolio loans at June 30, 2009.  Responsive to the elevated level of nonperforming loans within the Great Lakes Region, higher levels of allowances for loan losses have been established, approximating 3.35% of portfolio loans for the region on a combined basis as of June 30, 2009 and ranging as high as 4.49% at certain banks.  Those ratios can be contrasted with other banks and geographic regions within the Corporation with lower levels of nonperforming loans.  Nonperforming loans have increased during the six months ended June 30, 2009 in other regions, such as the Arizona Region ($14.7 million increase) and the Nevada Region ($20.1 million increase) to 7.0% and 8.4% of portfolio loans, respectively, as the effects of the recession have had an evolving significant effect on those regions recently.

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 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 reviews 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, 2009, potential problem loans (including the previously-mentioned nonperforming loans) approximated $747 million or about 16% of total consolidated portfolio loans, compared to approximately $551 million or about 12% at December 31, 2008.  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 has considered these loans in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Management believes, however, that current general economic conditions in some markets may result in higher levels of future loan losses in comparison to previous years, as experienced in the first six months of 2009.

Real estate owned and other repossessed assets increased $36 million to $103 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Most of this increase ($28 million) was related to banks located in Michigan and the Arizona Region.

Foreclosure laws in Michigan generally favor borrowers rather than lenders and, accordingly, foreclosure and redemption periods (i.e., the number of months it takes for a financial institution to obtain clear title to freely market the real estate) take much longer than many other states.  Further, once the property is available to the bank for sale or liquidation, market conditions, as they are currently (particularly in Michigan and some western communities), may not be conducive to rapid marketing or near-term sale of the properties.

Michigan Commerce Bank resulted from the merger of Ann Arbor Commerce Bank, Brighton Commerce Bank, Detroit Commerce Bank, Grand Haven Bank, Kent Commerce Bank, Macomb Community Bank, Muskegon Commerce Bank, Oakland Commerce Bank and Portage Commerce Bank effective March 31, 2009.

Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and management judgments.  At June 30, 2009, Capitol had a deferred tax asset approximating $89.3 million ($61.3 million at December 31, 2008).  The deferred tax asset is composed primarily of temporary differences relating to the allowance for loan losses and net operating loss carryforwards.  If it is determined that realization of the deferred tax asset is in doubt, a valuation reserve is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount which is more-likely-than-not realizable.  No valuation reserve has been deemed necessary by management, inasmuch as it is believed that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.  Such conclusion is based on the expectation that realization will occur through future operating results and that Capitol's prior experience with de novo banks which incur operating losses and large provisions for loan losses in their most early periods of operation, ultimately becoming profitable.  If a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset may be necessary in the future, it will adversely affect consolidated operating results.

Summary

The second quarter 2009 net loss attributable to Capitol Bancorp Limited was approximately $16.3 million compared to net income of $623,000 reported for the second quarter of 2008.  The net loss per share attributable to Capitol Bancorp Limited for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.95 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.04 in the corresponding period of 2008.  The net loss attributable to Capitol Bancorp Limited for the six months ended June 30, 2009 approximated $37.0 million, compared to net income of $2.8 million in the corresponding period of 2008.  The net loss per share attributable to Capitol Bancorp Limited was $2.15 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to earnings per share of $0.16 in the corresponding 2008 period.

The primary reason for the interim 2009 loss was a very large provision for loan losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as the Corporation continued to carefully assess the implications and impact of declining property values and weak bank performance.  The provision for loan losses increased $50 million to $68 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a provision of $18 million for the corresponding period of 2008.

Analytical Review

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $33.7 million compared to $9 million during the corresponding 2008 period.  The provision for loan losses for the six-month 2009 period was $68 million compared to $18 million for the same period in 2008.  The provision for loan losses increased significantly in the 2009 period due to higher levels of loan charge-offs and in response to growth in nonperforming loans.  Of the provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2009, about half was attributable to increasing the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of portfolio loans from 2.12% to 2.50%.  Provisions for loan losses are based upon management's analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, as previously discussed.  The significant increase in the provision for loan losses compared to the preceding year had a material adverse effect on operating results for the interim 2009 periods.

Net interest income for the first six months of 2009 totaled $78 million, a 7.2% decrease compared to $84.1 million in 2008.  Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $40.6 million, a 3.8% decrease compared to $42.2 million in 2008.  The net interest margin approximated 3.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a 4 basis-point increase compared to 2.98% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and a 0.48% decrease compared to 3.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Notably, the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 improved 21 basis-points from the immediately preceding quarterly period.  Several causal factors impacted the 2009 margin, including elevated levels of nonperforming loans, higher levels of liquidity, competitive pressures at the bank level in pricing of loans and deposits, migration of noninterest-bearing deposits to interest-bearing accounts, changes in interest rates and higher interest costs related to debt obligations.  It is difficult to speculate on future changes in net interest margin.

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $7 million, an 8% increase compared to the $6.5 million for the same period in 2008.  Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $12 million, a decrease of $1 million or 8.4%, over the same period in 2008.  The reduction in the six-month 2009 period was due to decreases of $415,000 in other fee income and $685,000 in trust and wealth-management revenue.  Fees from origination of non-portfolio residential mortgage loans totaled $2.4 million for the first six months of 2009, up slightly from $2.0 million for the comparable period in 2008, due to lower interest rates and increasing loan origination volume.  The gain on sales of government-guaranteed loans decreased about 47% in the interim 2009 period compared to 2008, due to the lack of a favorable market for sale of such loans.

Noninterest expense totaled $102.1 million for the six-month 2009 period and $50.2 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared to $92.6 million and $47.8 million, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2008.  The increase in noninterest expense is associated with regulatory fees, growth in the size of previously-existing banks, costs of problem loan administration and other real estate write-downs.  Costs associated with foreclosed properties and other real estate increased to $8.6 million in the 2009 period ($2.1 million in the 2008 period) while the cost of FDIC insurance and other regulatory fees also increased significantly to $7.5 million ($1.9 million in the 2008 period) primarily attributable to a one-time special FDIC industry-wide assessment effective June 30, 2009 which approximated $2.6 million.  The FDIC has announced it is likely that an additional special assessment will be imposed later in 2009, however, the amount has not been determined.  Increases in occupancy, equipment rent, depreciation and maintenance in 2009 relate primarily to the addition of four de novo banks in 2008.

The largest element of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which approximated $53.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase from $53.3 million in the corresponding period of 2008.  The increase is partly due to the opening of four new banks in 2008 and the severance payments arising from the consolidation of the nine Michigan banks into Michigan Commerce Bank effective March 31, 2009.  For the three months ended June 30, 2009, salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $4.6 million or about 16% from amounts recorded in the immediately preceding quarter, as a result of reductions in staffing and other cost-cutting measures implemented in late 2008 and early 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The principal funding source for asset growth and loan origination activities is deposits.  Total deposits increased $198 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a $313 million increase in the corresponding period of 2008.  Growth occurred in most interest-bearing deposit categories, with the majority coming from time deposit accounts.  Brokered deposits approximated $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2009, or about 24% of total deposits, an increase of $24 million during the six-month 2009 period, as the banks have sought to add these funds selectively based on maturity and interest-rate opportunities to aid in matching the repricing of funding sources and assets.  Brokered deposits at June 30, 2009 include about $323 million of relationship-based structured time accounts.

Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 15.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2009, a decrease from 15.6% at December 31, 2008, and an increase of $21 million in the 2009 interim period compared to a decrease of $2 million during the 2008 period.  Levels of noninterest-bearing deposits can, however, fluctuate based on customers' transaction activity.

During the 2009 period, interest-bearing accounts increased about $177 million which served as the primary funding source for growth in liquid assets.  Because of the growth in interest-bearing deposits, coupled with higher relative rates on those balances (particularly with time deposit accounts) and deployment of funds into liquid assets, net interest margins have generally decreased.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Continued

Interim 2009 deposit growth was deployed primarily into cash and cash equivalents to enhance liquidity.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $804.6 million or 14% of total assets at June 30, 2009, compared to $624.4 million or 11% of total assets at December 31, 2008.  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, 2009 is adequate to fund loan demand and meet depositor needs.  In the current low interest rate environment, deployment of deposit growth into cash and cash equivalents adversely impacts net interest margin.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, an additional 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 and the banks have not engaged in active trading of their investments.  At June 30, 2009, Capitol's banks had approximately $13.8 million of investment securities classified as available for sale which may be utilized to meet various liquidity needs as they arise.

Several of Capitol's banks have secured lines of credit with regional Federal Home Loan Banks.  Borrowings thereunder approximated $339 million and additional borrowing capacity approximated $295 million at June 30, 2009.  These facilities are used from time to time as a lower-cost funding source versus various rates and maturities of time deposits available within banks' individual communities.  Total notes payable and short-term borrowings were $363 million at June 30, 2009, a reduction of $84.4 million from the beginning of the year as deposit growth enabled repayment of select borrowings in addition to enhanced liquidity discussed previously.

Capitol Bancorp Limited stockholders' equity, as a percentage of total assets, approximated 5.57% at June 30, 2009 and 6.26% at December 31, 2008.  As of June 30, 2009, Capitol's total capital funds (i.e., the sum of Capitol Bancorp Limited stockholders' equity, noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries and subordinated debentures) approximated $629.3 million or 10.99% of total assets.

In April 2009, the Corporation determined that it would commence the deferral of interest payments on its various trust-preferred securities, as is permitted under the terms of the securities, to conserve cash and capital resources.  The payment of interest may be deferred for periods up to five years.  During such deferral periods, Capitol is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock (subject to certain exceptions) and will continue to accrue interest payable on such securities.  Holders of the trust-preferred securities will continue to recognize current taxable income relating to the deferred interest payments.

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.

Effective May 31, 2009, Capitol completed a share-exchange transaction with the noncontrolling shareholders of Bank of Auburn Hills, previously a 51% owned subsidiary.  In conjunction with the share exchange, Capitol issued 227,000 previously unissued shares of Capitol's common stock and warrants for the purchase of 76,000 shares of Capitol's common stock.  The exercise price of the warrants is $20.37 per share of Capitol's common stock, which expire May 31, 2012.  As a result of the share exchange transaction, Bank of Auburn Hills became wholly-owned.  Capitol's results of operations would not have been materially different if it had occurred at the beginning of 2009 or 2008.

In October 2008, Capitol applied to its primary federal regulator and the FDIC for up to $142 million of preferred stock to be purchased by the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).  Capitol has withdrawn its application to participate in this program.

In February 2009, the U.S. Treasury announced its new Capital Assistance Program (CAP) under which U.S. banking organizations may apply for a U.S. Treasury investment in mandatorily convertible preferred stock in an amount of up to 1% or 2% of risk-weighted assets.  The purpose of the CAP is to provide eligible banking organizations with capital in the form of a preferred security which is convertible into common equity.  Participating banking organizations would also issue warrants to the U.S. Treasury.  Eligibility will be consistent with the criteria and deliberative process established under the TARP/CPP.  Capitol has recently submitted a CAP application on behalf of Michigan Commerce Bancorp Limited (MCBL, described more fully on page 34) in the amount of $21.7 million.  There can be no assurance the CAP application will be approved or, if approved, whether Capitol or MCBL would choose to participate.

Trends Affecting Operations

One of the most significant trends which can impact the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions is 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.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, which influences interest rates, changed interbank borrowing rates dramatically in 2008 by an aggregate 400 basis-point decrease.  The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve has also expressed concerns about a variety of macro economic issues.  Home mortgage rates have recently fluctuated and residential real estate markets have deteriorated in various regions, which adversely impacts fee income from the origination of residential mortgages.  There has been widespread media coverage of subprime and other residential mortgage “meltdown” issues; Capitol believes its exposure to the residential real estate crisis to be generally minimal due to its practice of selling residential mortgage loan production to the secondary market.  Many of Capitol's banks' commercial loans are variable-rate and, accordingly, rate decreases may result in lower interest income to Capitol in the near term; however, depositors will continue to expect reasonable rates of interest on their accounts, potentially compressing net interest margins further.  The future outlook on interest rates and their impact on Capitol's interest income, interest expense and net interest income is uncertain.

General economic conditions also have a significant impact on both the results of operations and the financial condition of financial institutions.  As mentioned previously, general economic conditions within the state of Michigan and the national economic recession are uncertain and are likely to continue to have an adverse effect on Capitol's banks and their customers.  It is likely that, absent significant catalysts, Michigan's economic recovery in particular may take an extended period of time.

Media reports raising questions about the health of the domestic economy and the sustained national recession have continued in 2009.  During the interim 2009 period, nonperforming assets have increased significantly; it is likely levels of nonperforming assets and related loan losses will increase further as economic conditions, locally and nationally, evolve.

Effective March 31, 2009, nine Michigan bank charters were merged into Michigan Commerce Bank.  The resulting bank, with nine locations, was combined to gain efficiencies in loan portfolio and problem asset management and general operating efficiencies in daily processing.  A similar four-bank merger proposal in the greater Phoenix area of Arizona, is pending and subject to regulatory approval.  Additional mergers and combinations of bank charters in other markets are under consideration as management evaluates potential synergies and cost savings.  In April 2009, Capitol announced the engagement of a financial advisor to assist management in pursuing divestiture opportunities.

Proposed Spin-off of Michigan Commerce Bancorp Limited

On July 21, 2009, Capitol announced its intention to formally and legally separate the operations of Michigan Commerce Bancorp Limited (MCBL) as an independent publicly-traded company through a spin-off transaction.  Upon completion of the proposed spin-off, Capitol will continue to be a bank holding company with national banking operations and MCBL will be a separate publicly-traded bank holding company consisting of the substantial majority of Capitol's prior Michigan-based banks (see accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements).

In the proposed spin-off, Capitol's shareholders will receive shares of MCBL common stock according to a distribution ratio.  The distribution ratio and related record date for the proposed distribution will be determined in the near future.  The proposed spin-off is subject to a number of contingencies.  The proposed spin-off will enable the two separate publicly-traded companies to focus on maximizing opportunities for the distinct business markets of each, and will allow both Capitol and MCBL to each develop and implement a strategic plan that fits their specific market and operations.  The proposed spin-off is illustrated in the accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements on pages 35 and 36.

MCBL's consolidated total assets approximated $1.25 billion or about 22% of Capitol's total assets as of June 30, 2009.  If the proposed spin-off had been completed on June 30, 2009, consolidated total assets of Capitol would have approximated $4.5 billion, while reflecting a 31% decline in nonperforming assets and a modest increase in the consolidated total capital ratio.  If the proposed spin-off would have occurred at the beginning of 2009, the consolidated net loss attributable to stockholders of Capitol would have been reduced 40% to $22.1 million ($1.29 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Pending Sale of Five Banks

In July 2009, Capitol entered into definitive agreements to sell the following four affiliate institutions:  Bank of Belleville, Bank of Santa Barbara, 1st Commerce Bank and Community Bank of Rowan.  The projected financial impact of the divestiture of these four institutions, along with the sale of Yuma Community Bank announced in May 2009, is set forth in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet (along with the proposed spin-off discussed above) on page 37.  Total proceeds from the pending sales are expected to approximate $34.5 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $10.2 million ($6.6 million, or $0.38 per share, after federal income tax) and are expected to be consummated in the second half of 2009, subject to regulatory approval and other contingencies.

Proposed Share Exchange Offer

In July 2009, Capitol proposed a share exchange offer regarding the shares of CDBLs III-VI not already owned by Capitol, whereby there may be an opportunity to exchange Class B common stock of the CDBLs for a combination of convertible preferred stock of Capitol and trust-preferred securities.  If all of the CDBL III-VI shareholders were to exchange their shares pursuant to the proposed exchange offer, Capitol would issue convertible preferred stock with a preference value of approximately $66.7 million and trust-preferred securities with an aggregate liquidation value approximating $23.5 million.  If all CDBL III-VI shareholders were to exchange their CDBL interests, as proposed and if consummated, Capitol's net loss attributable to Capitol Bancorp Limited would have approximated $42.6 million ($2.48 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The proposed exchange offer is subject to a number of contingencies.

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

Impact of New Accounting Standards

There are several new accounting standards either becoming effective or being issued in 2009.  They are listed and discussed in Note B of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Capitol's critical accounting policies are described on pages F-31 – F-32 of the financial section of its 2008 Annual Report.  In the circumstances of Capitol, management believes its "critical accounting policies" are those which encompass the use of estimates in determining the allowance for loan losses (because of inherent subjectivity), accounting for goodwill (Capitol's annual review of goodwill for potential impairment is performed in the fourth quarter of the year) and other intangibles (due to inherent subjectivity in evaluating potential impairment) and its consolidation policy.

PART I, ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK

Information about Capitol's quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk were included in Capitol's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Capitol does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of market risk exposure, except as noted in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section herein (Part I, Item 2), under the caption, "Trends Affecting Operations."


PART I, ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Capitol maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance 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. Capitol's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated Capitol's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date").  Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, Capitol's disclosure controls and procedures, in all material respects, are effective in bringing to their attention on a timely basis material information relating to Capitol required to be included in Capitol's periodic filings under the Exchange Act.

No change in Capitol's internal control over financial reporting occurred during Capitol's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect Capitol's internal control over financial reporting.
