PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the statements contained in this document, including Sun's interim
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 Sun 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 Sun's efforts to
implement its business strategy, (ii) changes in interest rates, (iii)
legislation or regulatory requirements adversely impacting Sun'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 Sun's banks and their ability to
respond to such actions, (ix) the cost of capital, which may depend in part on
Sun's asset quality, prospects and outlook, (x) changes in governmental
regulation, tax rates and similar matters, (xi) "Year 2000" computer, imbedded
chip and data processing issues, and (xii) other risks detailed in Sun'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 Sun 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. Sun 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.

                          SUN COMMUNITY BANCORP LIMITED


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Sun
Community Bancorp Limited (Sun) 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 Sun
considers necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

     The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000.

     The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 was derived from
audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain 1999 amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

NOTE B - IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     AICPA Statement of Position 98-5, REPORTING ON THE COSTS OF START-UP
ACTIVITIES, requires start-up, preopening and organizational costs to be charged
to expense when incurred. The initial application of this statement, which
became effective January 1, 1999, also required the write-off of any such costs
previously capitalized. Implementation of this new statement is shown as a
cumulative effect adjustment in the first quarter of 1999.

NOTE D - NEW BANK AND PENDING BANK APPLICATIONS

     Black Mountain Community Bank, located in Henderson, Nevada, opened in
March 2000. It is majority-owned by Nevada Community Bancorp Limited which is
majority-owned by Sun.

     As of March 31, 2000, an application was pending for an additional bank in
New Mexico (Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque), which opened in early April 2000.

NOTE E - PROSPECTIVE IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

     FASB Statement No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES requires all derivatives to be recognized in financial statements and
to be measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair
value would be included in income, or in comprehensive income, depending on
whether the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting and the type of hedging
instrument involved. This new standard will become effective in 2001 and,
because Sun and its banks have not typically entered into derivative contracts
either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes, is not expected to
have a material effect on its financial statements.

     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 Sun's financial statements.

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


FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets approximated $351.9 million at March 31, 2000, an increase of
$51.5 million from the December 31, 1999 level of $300.4 million. The
consolidated balance sheets include Sun and its majority-owned subsidiaries. In
March 2000, Black Mountain Community Bank located in Henderson, Nevada commenced
operations and was added to the consolidated group as a majority-owned
subsidiary of Nevada Community Bancorp Limited, a majority-owned subsidiary of
Sun.

     Portfolio loans increased  during the three-month  period by  approximately
$57.6  million.  Loan  growth  was  funded  primarily  by higher  levels of time
deposits.  The majority of portfolio loan growth  occurred in commercial  loans,
which increased approximately $55.9 million, consistent with the banks' emphasis
on commercial lending activities.  Interim 2000 loan growth includes $12 million
loaned to Capitol Bancorp, Sun's majority shareholder, on a short-term basis.

     The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2000 approximated $3 million or
1.14% of total portfolio loans, a slight decrease from the year-end 1999 ratio
of 1.15%.

     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 volume, amount and
composition, potential impairment of individual loans and concentrations of
credit), past loss experience, current economic conditions, loan commitments

     For internal purposes, management allocates the allowance to all loan
classifications. The amounts allocated in the following table (in thousands),
which includes all loans for which management has concerns based on Sun's loan
rating system, should not be interpreted as an indication of future charge-offs.

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

     Nonperforming loans increased $773,000 during early 2000, however,
continued at a low level in relation to total loans. These consist of 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.

loans, allowance for loan losses, nonperforming loans and allowance ratios

As a condition of charter approval, each bank is required to maintain an
allowance for loan losses of not less than 1% for the first three years of
operations. For periods after June 30, 1999, Bank of Tucson is no longer subject
to the minimum allowance for loan loss requirement.

(1)  East Valley Community Bank, Desert Community Bank and Red Rock Community
     Bank commenced operations at varying dates in 1999.
(2)  Black Mountain Community Bank commenced operations in March 2000.

     Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 25.4% of total deposits at
September 30, 1999, a decrease from the December 31, 1998 level of 28.4%. Levels
of noninterest-bearing deposits fluctuate based on customers' transaction
activity.

($0.02 per share), compared to a net loss from operations of $176,000 ($0.05 per
share) during the corresponding period of 1999. For the three months ended March
31, 1999, after adjusting for a change in accounting principle, Sun's net loss
approximated $562,000 ($0.15 per share).

n/a  Not applicable

(1)  East Valley Community Bank, Desert Community Bank and Red Rock Community
     Bank commenced operations at varying dates in 1999.
(2)  Black Mountain Community Bank commenced operations in March 2000.

     Net interest income increased to $5 million during the three-month 2000
period versus $2.1 million in the corresponding period of 1999 primarily due to
growth in total assets and the number of banks within the consolidated group.

     Noninterest income increased to $243,000 for the 2000 three-month period,
as compared with $119,000 in 1999. Service charge revenue increased 91.2% in the
2000 period compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily
related to higher transaction volume and the larger number of customers
resulting from the addition of new banks in 1999 and 2000.

     Provisions for loan losses were $632,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 compared to $209,000 during the 1999 period. The increase is primarily
related to loan growth. The provisions for loan losses are based upon
management's analysis of the allowance for loan losses, as previously discussed.

     Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $4.6
million compared with $2.5 million in 1999. The increase in noninterest expense
is associated with newly formed banks, growth and increases in general operating
costs. Increases in employee compensation and occupancy mostly relate to the
growth in number of banks within the consolidated group and the larger number of
data processing and other administrative support staff necessary for the
increased number and size of banks.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The principal funding source for asset growth and loan origination
activities is deposits. Total deposits increased $50.5 million for the
three-month 2000 period, compared to $23.8 million in 1999. Such growth occurred
in all deposit categories, with the majority from time deposits. The
Corporation's banks generally do not rely on brokered deposits as a key funding
source.

     Deposit growth in 2000 has been deployed primarily into commercial loans,
consistent with the banks' emphasis on commercial lending activities.

     Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $56.4 million or 16% of total assets
at March 31, 2000 as compared with $48.8 million or 16.3% of total assets at
December 31, 1999. 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 March 31,
2000 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. Sun's liquidity requirements
have not historically necessitated the sale of investments in order to meet
liquidity needs. It also has not engaged in active trading of its investments
and has no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2000
Sun and the banks had approximately $22 million of investment securities
classified as available for sale which can be utilized to meet various liquidity
needs as they arise.

     Sun 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. Sun and each of its banks are in compliance
with the regulatory requirements and management expects to maintain such

     Sun'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, Sun may invest in or otherwise add
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 Sun. Plans for
additional bank development activities in the states of Arizona, New Mexico and
California were announced previously. At March 31, 2000, an application was
pending for a new bank in New Mexico.

     In April 2000, Sun announced plans to purchase up to $3 million of its
common stock in open market purchases during the next several months. The shares
repurchased in this manner may be retained as treasury shares, retired, used for
implementation of an employee stock ownership plan or for other business
purposes. To the extent such share purchases are made, they will have the impact
of increasing the percentage ownership of Sun by Capitol Bancorp Ltd., which
currently owns 51% of Sun's common stock. The share purchase program will be
funded from Sun's existing resources, principally short-term loans and
investments.

CENTURY DATE CHANGE

     Throughout 1999, significant attention was drawn to the century date change
and concerns about whether banks were prepared. What was predicted by some media
to become a catastrophic disaster of computer failures, proved to be a nonevent.

     Sun and its banks were well prepared, far in advance of the regulatory
initiatives, and were pleased to celebrate the new year without any significant
problems.

     Bank regulatory agencies have advised that they remain somewhat concerned
about the banking industry on this matter for the remainder of 2000 and are
likely to perform some limited follow-up examinations during the period.
Management estimates additional future costs relating to the century date change
will be minimal.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     As discussed elsewhere herein, a new accounting standard which required the
write-off of previously capitalized start-up and preopening costs was
implemented effective January 1, 1999. That standard requires that such costs
thereafter be charged to expense, when incurred.

     FASB Statement No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES requires all derivatives to be recognized in financial statements and
to be measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair
value would be included in income, or in comprehensive income, depending on
whether the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting and the type of hedging
instrument involved. This new standard will become effective in 2001 and,
because Sun and its banks have not typically entered into derivative contracts
either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes, is not expected to
have a material effect on its financial statements.

     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 Sun's financial statements.
