             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 six-month period ended June 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. 122, "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
June 30, 1996.


Note C - Bank of Tucson

         Effective June 27, 1996 Bank of Tucson, a de novo commercial, bank was
formed in Tucson, Arizona.  Bank of Tucson was capitalized with $5.4 million of
which $2.7 million was invested by the Corporation (funded primarily by
proceeds from exercise of warrants and related issuance of common stock) and
the remainder was invested by individuals and other





                                    6 of 17

entities primarily located in the Tucson community.  The Corporation owns 51%
of the common stock of Bank of Tucson and, accordingly, the Bank is included
for financial reporting purposes as a consolidated subsidiary with
corresponding accounting recognition given to 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 $1.26 million ($.38 per share) for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.


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

         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.

         A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are
currently under study by the accounting profession 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.

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


Financial Condition

         Total assets amounted to $420.3 million at June 30, 1996, an increase
of $36.2 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, Bank of Tucson (51% owned).  The financial
statements also include a mortgage subsidiary, previously consolidated, for
which a majority interest was sold effective March 31, 1995.

         Effective June 27, 1996 Bank of Tucson, a de novo commercial bank, was
formed in Tucson, Arizona.  Bank of Tucson was capitalized with $5.4 million of
which $2.7 million was invested by the Corporation (funded primarily by
proceeds from exercise of warrants and related issuance of common stock) and
the remainder was invested by individuals and other entities primarily located
in the Tucson community.  The Corporation owns 51% of the common stock of Bank
of Tucson and, accordingly, the Bank is included for financial reporting
purposes as a consolidated subsidiary with corresponding accounting recognition
given to minority interest.

         The net increase in portfolio loans for the six-month period
approximated $32 million.  Loan growth was funded primarily by higher levels of
time deposits coupled with proceeds from maturities of investment securities.
The majority of portfolio loan growth occurred in commercial loans which
increased approximately $29.6 million, consistent with the Corporation's banks'
emphasis on commercial lending activities.

         Loans held for resale increased approximately $7.4 million.  This
increase was funded through lower levels of federal funds sold and bank
borrowings from secured lines of credit.

         The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1996 approximated $4.1
million or 1.31% of total portfolio loans, a slight increase from the year-end
1995 ratio of 1.30%.  For the first half of 1996, net loan charge-offs
approximated $41,000, as compared to $264,000 for the corresponding 1995
period.  Provisions for loan losses have been maintained at a higher level in
1996 ($477,000) relative to 1995 ($440,000) 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 in the second half of 1996 to
be higher than amounts for the first six months.

         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

         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 June 30, 1996, total loans
under this program approximated $13.4 million.  Reserves related to these
loans, which are represented by earmarked funds on deposit at the

banks, approximated $1.4 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 June 30, 1996.  Nonperforming loans (i.e., loans which are 90
days or more past due and loans on nonaccrual status) at June 30, 1996 amounted
to $1.93 million compared with $1.34 million at December 31, 1995 as summarized
in the following table:

         Nonperforming loans increased approximately $600,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 1996 of which $380,000 occurred during the second fiscal
quarter relating to three loans.  Most of the 1996 increase relates to
nonaccrual loans for which management believes the loans to be adequately
collateralized or otherwise appropriately recorded in management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and are in
various stages of resolution.

         If nonperforming loans (including loans in nonaccrual status) had
performed in accordance with their contractual terms during the period,
additional interest income of $43,000  and $94,000 would have been recorded for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Interest income
recognized on loans in nonaccrual status for the period approximated $21,000
and $10,000, 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 $488,000 at June 30, 1996, a decrease of $484,000
from the year-end 1995 level of $972,000.

        Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 12.4% of total deposits at
June 30, 1996, a slight 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to
$2,249,000 ($.61 per share), a significant increase over the $1,201,000 ($.36
per share) earned during the corresponding period of 1995.  Net income for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 approximated $1,148,000 ($.31 per share), as
compared to $664,000 ($.20 per share) for the same period of 1995.  Net income
for interim 1996 periods has been favorably impacted by higher interest margins
and fees, dividend income and lower deposit insurance premiums.  Operating
results (in thousands) were as follows:

   n/a - Not applicable.
   (1) - Grand Haven Bank (85% owned and formerly a branch of Paragon Bank &
         Trust) commenced operations effective May 1, 1995.
   (2) - The Corporation made a 51% investment in the common stock of Bank of
         Tucson, a de novo bank, effective June 27, 1996.
   (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 24.1% during the six-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.  In addition, 1996
results include the operations of Grand Haven Bank (formerly a branch of the
Paragon Bank & Trust subsidiary), which has contributed favorably to earnings
and was included for only a portion of 1995.  Bank of Tucson, because of its
brief period of inclusion, had no impact on earnings for the 1996 period.

        Noninterest income decreased in 1996 to $695,000 for the six-month
period, as compared with $705,000 for the corresponding 1995 period, primarily
due to inclusion of the mortgage unit's revenues for the first quarter of 1995.
Service charge income and trust fee income increased 44% and 25%, respectively,
primarily due to a larger number of accounts.

        The provision for loan losses amounted to $477,000 for the six-month
1996 period as compared to $440,000 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 approximated
$5.6 million compared with $5.4 million in 1995.  The increase in noninterest
expense is associated with increases in general operating costs and is net of
significantly lower costs of deposit insurance premiums.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $42.7 million or 10.2% of total
assets at June



                                    12 of 17

30, 1996 as compared with $45.3 million or 11.8% of total assets at December
31, 1995.  The change is primarily the result of funds deployed into commercial
portfolio loans.  Liquidity levels vary continuously based on customer
activities and, accordingly, amounts of cash and cash equivalents can vary
widely at any point in time.  Management believes the Corporation's liquidity
position at June 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 June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Corporation
had approximately $33 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 June 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 June 30, 1996 ($5.6 million
at December 31, 1995).  During the six months ended June 30, 1996, borrowings
thereunder were reduced as proceeds from exercise of warrants and stock options
exceeded current cash needs.  Future funding needs for formation of new banks
(to the extent not otherwise funded by internal capital reserves) 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 in nature and are reviewed annually for
continuance.

        In addition, Oakland Commerce Bank had borrowings outstanding of $3
million and $8.4 million of additional availability at June 30, 1996 in the
form of secured lines of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

        Certain recent transactions have increased the Corporation's capital
and stockholders' equity in 1996.

        In conjunction with the 1994 merger of Paragon Bank & Trust and its
parent, Financial Center Corporation, approximately 743,000 warrants were
issued.  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
the period ended June 30, 1996, approximately 458,000 warrants were exercised,
resulting in proceeds to the Corporation of $4,114,000.  In addition, the
exercise of 69,938 stock options resulted in additional proceeds during the
period of $444,000.  At June 30, 1996, 170,000 warrants relating to the 1994
merger transaction remained outstanding.  Those warrants expire on June 30,
1997.  If all remaining warrants were exercised, the Corporation would receive
additional cash and capital approximating $1.5 million and issue 170,000 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 September 1, 1996 to shareholders of record as of
August 1, 1996 following prior dividends of $.09 per share paid on March 1,
1996 and June 1, 1996.  The dividend amounts in 1996 represent an increase over
the dividends of $.07 per share paid quarterly in 1995.

        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 $499,000 for the six months ended June 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 8.8% at June 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):

(1)     Conditional to their commercial bank charters, Grand Haven Bank and
        Bank of Tucson are required to maintain Tier I leverage capital to
        total assets ratios of not less than 8% for the first three full
        years of operations.

        Effective June 27, 1996, the Corporation made a 51% investment ($2.7
million) in the common stock of Bank of Tucson, a de novo bank.  This new bank
is discussed more fully elsewhere herein and in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements.

        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.  On this basis,
management is 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





                                    14 of 17
<PAGE>   15

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.

        Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Corporation filed applications with
certain regulatory agencies for permission to acquire a majority interest in a
de novo bank to be formed in Macomb County, Michigan, a suburb of metropolitan
Detroit.  Additionally, 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 June 30,
1996 to be adequate to fund existing operations, future growth and expansion.


Impact of New Accounting Standards

        Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 122, "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
June 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.

        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.

Item 1.          Legal Proceedings.

                         The Corporation and its subsidiaries are parties to

                 operations.
