     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                              CAPITOL BANCORP LTD.


Note A - Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Capitol
Bancorp Ltd. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions for Form 10-QSB.  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 the
Corporation considers necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

     The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1996.

     The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 was derived from
audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.  Certain 1995
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.


Note B - Implementation of New Accounting Standards

     Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of", establishes new guidelines for accounting and measurement of potential
impairment of certain long-lived assets, including intangibles and goodwill,
among other things.  This new standard became effective for the Corporation
January 1, 1996 and requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  In performing the
review for recoverability, the Statement requires the use of estimates of
future cash flows and other estimates of fair value.

     Implementation of this new accounting standard had no impact on the
Corporation's financial position or results of operations for the period ended
September 30, 1996.


Note C - New Banks

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, two de novo banks have
been added.  Bank of Tucson, in Tucson, Arizona, was formed effective June 27,
1996 and capitalized with $5.4 million of which $2.7 million was invested by
the Corporation.  Macomb Community Bank commenced operations on September 18,
1996 in Clinton Township,





                                    6 of 19
<PAGE>   7

Michigan, and was capitalized with $4.0 million of which $2.0 million was
invested by the Corporation.  The Corporation's investments in these new banks
were funded primarily from proceeds from exercise of warrants and related
issuance of common stock earlier in the year.

     The Corporation owns 51% of the common stock of Bank of Tucson and Macomb
Community Bank and, accordingly, these new banks are consolidated for financial
reporting purposes with corresponding accounting recognition given to
applicable minority interest.


Note D - Sale of Majority Interest in Mortgage Banking Unit

     Effective March 31, 1995, the Corporation sold a 51% interest in Mortgage
Connection, Inc. ("MCI", previously a wholly-owned mortgage banking subsidiary
acquired in 1992 and engaged in the origination, sale and servicing of
residential mortgage loans) to an individual.  The purchase transaction
resulted in no gain or loss and, under certain circumstances, the majority
owner and the Corporation each have the right to purchase the other party's
interest in the mortgage company.   The Corporation has retained a 49% interest
in the mortgage company and appoints two persons to its five-member board of
directors.  The majority owner of the mortgage company (its current President
and CEO) appoints the other three board members.

     Subsequent to March 31, 1995, MCI changed its name to Amera Mortgage
Corporation.  For periods after March 31, 1995, the Corporation's remaining
investment in Amera Mortgage Corporation is accounted for under the equity
method of accounting for its pro rata share of the mortgage company's net
income or loss.  If such sale had occurred at the beginning of 1995, net income
would have approximated $2.1 million ($.58 per share) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.


Note E - Prospective Impact of New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

     Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", revises the accounting recognition
of compensation expense for compensatory stock options and related disclosures.
This new standard permits alternative expense recognition using certain option
valuation models.  For companies electing to continue past expense recognition
practices (which the Corporation expects to implement), certain expanded pro
forma disclosures of expense amounts and earnings are required using those
valuation models (as if the alternative expense methods had been implemented).
Management has not completed its analysis of this new accounting standard,
which is expected to result in expanded disclosures to be made for the
Corporation effective December 31, 1996.

     FASB Statement No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", provides additional
guidance for the accounting for transfers of financial assets.  Management has
not completed its analysis of this new standard which will become effective
January 1, 1997.

     A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are
currently under





                                    7 of 19
<PAGE>   8

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 the Corporation's financial statements.

                                 PART I, ITEM 2


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


Financial Condition

     Total assets amounted to $445.9 million at September 30, 1996, an increase
of $61.8 million from the December 31, 1995 level of $384.1 million.  The
consolidated balance sheets include the Corporation and its banking
subsidiaries, Capitol National Bank, Portage Commerce Bank, Ann Arbor Commerce
Bank, Oakland Commerce Bank, Paragon Bank & Trust, Grand Haven Bank (85% owned)
and, effective June 27, 1996 and September 18, 1996, respectively, Bank of
Tucson and Macomb Community Bank (each 51% owned by the Corporation).

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, two de novo banks have
been added.  Bank of Tucson, in Tucson, Arizona, was formed effective June 27,
1996 and capitalized with $5.4 million of which $2.7 million was invested by
the Corporation.  Macomb Community Bank commenced operations on September 18,
1996 in Clinton Township, Michigan, and was capitalized with $4.0 million of
which $2.0 million was invested by the Corporation.  The Corporation's
investments in these new banks were funded primarily from proceeds from
exercise of warrants and related issuance of common stock earlier in the year.
The Corporation owns 51% of the common stock of Bank of Tucson and Macomb
Community Bank and, accordingly, these new banks are consolidated for financial
reporting purposes with corresponding accounting recognition given to
applicable minority interest.

     Portfolio loans increased during the nine-month period by approximately
$49 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 $43 million, consistent with the Corporation's
banks' emphasis on commercial lending activities.

     The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1996 approximated $4.3
million or 1.28% of total portfolio loans, a slight decrease from the year-end
1995 ratio of 1.30%.  For the first three quarters of 1996, net loan
charge-offs approximated $177,000, as compared to $322,000 for the
corresponding 1995 period.  Provisions for loan losses have been maintained at
a higher level in 1996 ($751,000) relative to 1995 ($659,000) commensurate with
portfolio growth, levels of delinquent and other nonperforming loans and other
factors.  The timing of loan charge-offs generally differs from accrual of
provisions for loan losses.  Management expects loan charge-offs for 1996 to be
consistent with the preceding year.

     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate
by management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio.  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





                                    9 of 19

     The allowance for loan losses is a general allowance for the Corporation's
loan portfolio.  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, based on the Corporation's loan
rating system management has concerns, 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, since
the allowance is a general allowance.

     In addition to the allowance for loan losses, certain loans are enrolled
in a state government loan program and have additional reserves established to
provide for loss protection.  At September 30, 1996, total loans under this
program approximated $14.3 million.  Reserves related to these loans, which are
represented by earmarked funds on deposit at the banks, approximated $1.5
million and are not included in the recorded allowance for loan 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 1995 and
through September 30, 1996.  Nonperforming loans (i.e., loans which are 90 days
or more past due and loans on nonaccrual status) at September 30, 1996 amounted
to $2.55 million compared with $1.34 million at December 31, 1995 as summarized
in the following table:

</TABLE>


         Nonperforming loans increased approximately $1.2 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Most of the increase relates to a small
number of loans in various stages of resolution which management believes to be
adequately collateralized or otherwise appropriately recorded in its
determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

         If nonperforming loans (including loans in nonaccrual status) had
performed in accordance with their contractual terms during the period,
additional interest income of $73,000  and $81,000 would have been recorded for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Interest
income recognized on loans in nonaccrual status for the period approximated
$23,000 and $49,000, respectively.

         Other real estate owned (generally real estate acquired through
foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure and classified as a component of
other assets) approximated $333,000 at September 30, 1996, a decrease of
$639,000 from the year-end 1995 level of $972,000.

        Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 11.9% of total deposits at
September 30, 1996, a decrease from the December 31, 1995 level of 12.9%.  The
decline in the ratio of noninterest-bearing deposits in 1996 relates primarily
to escrow and custodial funds associated with mortgage servicing activities of
the mortgage affiliate placed on deposit at one of the Corporation's banks.

Results of Operations

        Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 amounted to
$3,427,000 ($.90 per share), a significant increase over the $2,049,000 ($.57
per share) earned during the corresponding period of 1995.  Net income for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 approximated $1,178,000 ($.29 per share),
as compared to $848,000 ($.23 per share) for the same period of 1995.  Net
income for interim 1996 periods has been favorably impacted by higher interest
margins and fees and dividend income.  Operating results (in thousands) were as

 n/a -    Not applicable.
 (1) -    Bank of Tucson and Macomb Community Bank, de novo banks, commenced
          operations June 27, 1996 and September 18, 1996, respectively, and 
          are 51% owned by the Corporation.
 (2) -    Grand Haven Bank (85% owned and formerly a branch of Paragon Bank &
          Trust) commenced operations effective May 1, 1995.  
 (3) -    Effective March 31, 1995, the Corporation sold a majority interest 
          in Amera Mortgage Corporation (formerly Mortgage Connection, Inc.,
          acquired in 1992); for periods after March 31, 1995, the 
          Corporation's remaining investment (49%) has been accounted for under
          the equity method.

        Net interest income increased 25.2% during the nine-month 1996 period
versus the corresponding period of 1995.  The growth in net interest income was
primarily the result of margins associated with growth in loans and deposits in
addition to certain nonrecurring dividends in March 1996.  Both Bank of Tucson
and Macomb Community Bank, because of their brief period of inclusion, had
minimal impact on earnings for the 1996 interim period.

        Noninterest income increased in 1996 to $1.2 million for the nine-month
period, as compared with $928,000 for the corresponding 1995 period, primarily
due to inclusion of the mortgage unit's operations for the first quarter of
1995.  Service charge income and trust fee income increased 32% and 17%,
respectively, mainly due to an increasing number of accounts.

        The provision for loan losses amounted to $751,000 for the nine-month
1996 period as compared to $659,000 for the corresponding period of 1995.  The
increased interim provision for loan losses in 1996 compared to the interim
1995 period relates primarily to portfolio growth.  The provision for loan
losses is based on management's analysis of the loan portfolio as discussed
elsewhere herein.

        Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
approximated $8.8 million compared with $7.8 million in 1995.  The increase in
noninterest expense is associated with normal growth and increases in general
operating costs.  In addition, the increase reflects





                                    13 of 19

an assessment accrued effective September 30, 1996 in the amount of $320,000 at
Oakland Commerce Bank related to recent legislation adjusting FDIC deposit
insurance premiums for certain financial institutions.  This large assessment
amount will result in substantially lower FDIC insurance premiums for Oakland
Commerce Bank in the future while the Corporation's other banks will incur
slightly higher deposit insurance premiums.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $50.1 million or 11.2% of total
assets at September 30, 1996 as compared with $45.3 million or 11.8% of total
assets at December 31, 1995.  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 Corporation's liquidity
position at September 30, 1996 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 Corporation's marketable investment securities.  The
Corporation'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, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
Corporation had approximately $41 million and $34 million, respectively, of
investment securities classified as available for sale which can be utilized to
meet various liquidity needs as they arise.

        At September 30, 1996, the Corporation had lines of credit from an
unrelated financial institution aggregating $10 million.  Under this credit
facility, borrowings outstanding approximated $4 million at September 30, 1996
($5.6 million at December 31, 1995).  Borrowings were reduced during interim
1996 periods as proceeds from issuance of common stock upon exercise of
warrants and stock options exceeded current cash needs.  Future funding for
formation of new banks (to the extent not otherwise funded by internal capital
resources) or other needs may be met by additional future borrowings.  Under
the terms of the credit agreement, $8 million is convertible into long-term
notes; $2 million of the lines of credit are revolving and are reviewed
annually for continuance.

        Two of the Corporation's banks, (Oakland Commerce Bank and Ann Arbor
Commerce Bank) have secured lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Borrowings thereunder approximated $3 million and additional borrowing capacity
approximated $9.1 million at September 30, 1996.

        In 1994, approximately 743,000 warrants were issued in a merger
transaction.  Each warrant enables the holder to purchase one share of the
Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $8.99 per warrant.  During
interim periods in 1996, approximately 488,000 warrants were exercised,
resulting in proceeds to the Corporation of $4,391,000.  In addition, the
exercise of 81,334 stock options resulted in additional proceeds during the
period of $520,000.  These and other transactions resulted in issuance of
586,678 shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
At September 30, 1996, 164,000 warrants remained outstanding and expire on June
30, 1997.  If all remaining warrants were exercised, the Corporation would
receive additional cash and capital approximating $1.5 million





                                    14 of 19

and issue 164,000 shares of previously unissued common stock, although there is
no assurance that such warrants will be exercised.  Stockholders' equity also
increased in 1996 through net income, less dividends paid.

        The Corporation's Board of Directors recently approved a cash dividend
of $.09 per share payable December 2, 1996 to shareholders of record as of
November 1, 1996 following prior 1996 dividends of $.09 per share paid on March
1, June 1, and September 1.  The dividend amounts in 1996 represent an increase
over the dividends of $.07 per share paid quarterly in 1995.  On October 30,
1996, the Corporation announced a 10% stock dividend distributable on December
31, 1996 to shareholders of record on December 2, 1996.

        As discussed previously, certain investment securities are designated
as "available for sale" and, accordingly, are adjusted to market value at the
balance sheet date (net of corresponding tax effect).  Changes in market values
of investment securities at their respective balance sheet dates decreased
stockholders' equity by $437,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

        The Corporation and its banks are subject to complex regulatory capital
requirements which require maintaining 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.  The Corporation and each of its banks are
in compliance with the regulatory requirements and management expects to
maintain such compliance.

        Capital, as a percentage of total assets, approximated 8.5% at
September 30, 1996, a slight increase from the beginning of the year ratio of
8.0%.  The Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries continue to exceed
regulatory capital requirements as shown below (dollars in thousands):

        The Corporation's operating strategy continues to be focused on the
ongoing growth and maturity of its existing banks, coupled with de novo bank
expansion in selected markets as opportunities arise.  In the second and third
quarters of 1996, two new 51% owned banks (Bank of Tucson and Macomb Community
Bank, respectively) have been added to the Corporation's consolidated group.
Management continues to be actively engaged in the ongoing process of exploring
opportunities for future growth which includes de novo bank formation and other
growth strategies.  Accordingly, the Corporation 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 de novo banks and/or additions of other operating units
could be either wholly-owned or majority-owned by the Corporation.

        As of September 30, 1996, the Corporation has applications pending with
certain regulatory agencies for permission to acquire a majority interest in a
de novo bank to be formed in Brighton, Michigan.

        Management believes the Corporation's capital resources at September
30, 1996 to be adequate to fund existing operations, future growth and
expansion.


Impact of New Accounting Standards

        Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of", establishes new guidance for accounting and measurement of potential
impairment of certain long-lived assets including intangibles and goodwill,
among other things.  This new standard became effective for the Corporation
January 1, 1996 and requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  In performing the
review for recoverability, the Statement requires the use of estimates of
future cash flows and other estimates of fair value.

        Implementation of this new accounting standard had no impact on the
Corporation's financial position or results of operations for the period ended
September 30, 1996.

        Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", revises the accounting recognition of compensation
expense for compensatory stock options and related disclosures.  This new
standard permits alternative expense recognition using certain option valuation
models.  For companies electing to continue past expense recognition practices
(which the Corporation expects to implement), certain expanded proforma
disclosures of expense amounts and earnings are required using those valuation
models (as if the alternative expense methods had been implemented).
Management has not completed its analysis of this new accounting standard,
which is expected to result in expanded disclosures to be made for the
Corporation effective December 31, 1996.

        FASB Statement No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", provides additional
guidance for the accounting for transfers of financial assets.  Management has
not completed its analysis of this new standard which will become effective
January 1, 1997.

        At any time, there are a number of proposed new accounting standards
under consideration by standard-setting bodies, bank regulatory agencies and
other entities.  Because of the fluid status of such proposals, the potential
impact thereof on the Corporation's financial statements is unclear.
