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.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          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 nine-month period ended September 30,
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 - Change in Accounting Principle

     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 C - Acquisition of Minority Interest in Bank

     Effective June 30, 2000, Valley First Community Bank (previously a
majority-owned subsidiary of Sun) became a wholly-owned subsidiary resulting
from the minority shareholders of Valley First exchanging their Valley First
shares for shares of Sun. The exchange ratio was based on 150% of the adjusted
book value of Valley First's common stock. As a result of the share exchange,
the minority owners of Valley First became shareholders of Sun. About 298,000
new shares of Sun's common stock were issued in this transaction.

Note D - Repurchases of Common Stock

     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. As of
September 30, 2000, $1.1 million of stock purchases (105,200 shares) were made
and are reflected as treasury stock.

Note F - New Banks 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.

     Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, opened in
April 2000. It is majority-owned by Sunrise Capital Corporation which is
majority-owned by Sun.

     Arrowhead Community Bank, located in Glendale, Arizona opened in September
2000. It is majority-owned by Sun.

     At September 30, 2000, applications were pending for additional banks in
Arizona and California.

Note G - 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 $476.6 million at September 30, 2000, an increase
of $176.2 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. In April 2000, Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque commenced operations and was
added to the consolidated group as a majority-owned subsidiary of Sunrise
Capital Corporation, a majority-owned subsidiary of Sun. In September 2000,
Arrowhead Community Bank located in Glendale, Arizona commenced operations and
was added to the consolidated group as a majority-owned subsidiary of Sun.

     Portfolio loans increased during the nine-month period by approximately
$170.7 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 $164.4 million, consistent with the banks'
emphasis on commercial lending activities. Year-to-date 2000 loan growth
includes $12.7 million loaned to Capitol Bancorp, Sun's parent, on a short-term
basis.

     The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000 approximated $4.6
million or 1.23% of total portfolio loans, an increase 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
outstanding and other factors.

     The table below summarizes portfolio loan balances and activity in the
allowance for loan losses for the nine-month periods (in thousands):

     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.
In addition, amounts allocated are not intended to reflect the amount that may
be available for future losses.

     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

     Nonperforming loans increased $1.6 million in 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.

     Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 approximated
$244,000 ($0.04 per share), compared to a net loss from operations of $464,000
($0.08 per share) during the corresponding period of 1999. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, Sun's net income approximated $505,000 ($0.09 per
share) compared to a net loss (after the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle) of $1,251,000 ($0.28 per share).

     Net interest income increased to $17.9 million during the nine-month 2000
period versus $8.3 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 $695,000 for the 2000 nine-month period, as
compared with $434,000 in 1999. Service charge revenue increased 63.4% 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 $2.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $1.1 million 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 nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $15.6
million compared with $9.7 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 ($3.7 million and
$553,000, respectively) 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 and related facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The principal funding source for asset growth and loan origination
activities is deposits. Total deposits increased $168.8 million for the
nine-month 2000 period, compared to an increase of $74.8 million in the
corresponding 1999 period. 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.

     Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 20.3% of total deposits at
September 30, 2000, a slight decrease from the December 31, 1999 level of 22.1%.
Levels of noninterest-bearing deposits fluctuate daily based on customers'
transaction activity.

     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 $70.6 million, or 14.8% of total
assets, at September 30, 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
September 30, 2000 is adequate to fund loan demand and meet depositor needs.

                                  Page 13 of 17
<PAGE>
     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 September 30,
2000, Sun and its banks had approximately $14.7 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
compliance.

     Stockholders' equity, as a percentage of total assets, approximated 11.0%
at September 30, 2000, a decrease from the beginning of the year ratio of 16.6%.
Total equity capital (stockholders' equity plus minority interests in
consolidated subsidiaries) aggregated $77.9 million or 16.3% of total assets at
September 30, 2000. The following table summarizes the amounts and related
ratios of individually significant subsidiaries (assets of $30 million or more
at the beginning of 2000) and consolidated regulatory capital position at
September 30, 2000:

     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 and California
were announced previously.

                                  Page 14 of 17
<PAGE>
     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. The share
purchase program will be funded from Sun's existing resources, principally
short-term loans and investments. As of September 30, 2000, $1.1 million
(105,200 shares) of stock purchases were made and are reflected as treasury
stock.

     When Valley First Community Bank reached its 36th month of operation in
June 2000, Sun offered the minority owners of Valley First an opportunity to
exchange their Valley First shares for shares of Sun. The exchange ratio was
based on 150% of the adjusted book value of Valley First's common stock and was
completed effective June 30, 2000. As a result of the share exchange, the
minority owners of Valley First became shareholders of Sun. About 298,000 new
shares of Sun's common stock were issued in this transaction.

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.
