             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-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 the
Corporation considers necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

  The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997.

  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 was derived from
audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.  Certain 1996
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.


Note B - Implementation of New Accounting Standards

  Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities", establishes new guidelines for accounting for certain
transactions, such as sales of loans and loan participations.  This new
standard became effective for the Corporation January 1, 1997.  Implementation
of this new accounting standard had no impact on the Corporation's financial
position or results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1997.


Note C - New Bank

  Brighton Commerce Bank, a de novo bank located in Brighton, Michigan, was
formed in early January 1997.  The Corporation's investment in this new bank
($1.6 million) was funded primarily from proceeds from exercise of stock
options and borrowings.

  The Corporation owns 59% of the common stock of Brighton Commerce Bank.  This
new bank is consolidated for financial reporting purposes with corresponding
accounting recognition given to applicable minority interest.

<PAGE>   7

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

  FASB Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share", will revise the computation and
reporting of earnings per share.  This new standard is intended to simplify the
basis upon which per-share amounts are determined, replacing "primary" earnings
per share with "basic" earnings per share.  "Fully diluted" earnings per share
will be replaced by "diluted" earnings per share. The Statement will become
effective for the Corporation's year end 1997 consolidated financial statements
and will result in restatement of per-share amounts for prior periods.  Early
adoption of the new standard is not permitted.  Management has not completed
its analysis of this new accounting standard.

  FASB Statement No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure",
clarifies the extent and nature of disclosures relating to an entity's capital
structure.  This new standard will become effective for the Corporation's year
end 1997 consolidated financial statements and, upon implementation, is not
expected to have a material impact.

  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 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 $540.9 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of
$48.6 million from the December 31, 1996 level of $492.3 million.  The
consolidated balance sheets include the Corporation and its majority-owned
banking subsidiaries.

  During the three months ended March 31, 1997, one de novo bank was added.
Brighton Commerce Bank, in Brighton, Michigan, was formed in early January 1997
and was capitalized with $2.7 million of which $1.6 million was invested by the
Corporation.  The Corporation's investment in this new bank was funded
primarily from proceeds from exercise of stock options and borrowings.  The
Corporation owns 59% of the common stock of Brighton Commerce Bank and,
accordingly, this new bank is consolidated for financial reporting purposes
with corresponding accounting recognition given to applicable minority
interest.

   Portfolio loans increased during the three-month period by approximately $33
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 $26 million, consistent with the banks' emphasis on
commercial lending activities.

  The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1997 approximated $5 million or
1.27% of total portfolio loans, closely approximating the year-end 1996 ratio
of 1.28%.  Provisions for loan losses have been maintained at a higher level in
1997 ($454,000) relative to 1996 ($217,000) commensurate with portfolio growth,
levels of delinquent and other nonperforming loans and other factors.

  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 on the next page summarizes portfolio loan balances and activity in
the allowance for loan losses for the interim periods (in thousands):

  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 March 31, 1997, total loans under this program
approximated $13.6 million.  Reserves related to these loans, which are
represented by earmarked funds on deposit at certain of the bank subsidiaries,
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 1996 and through
March 31, 1997.  Nonperforming loans (i.e.,

loans which are 90 days or more past due and loans on nonaccrual status) at
March 31, 1997 amounted to $1.99 million compared with $2.7 million at December
31, 1996 as summarized in the following table (in thousands):

</TABLE>


         Nonperforming loans decreased approximately $708,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 1997.  Most of the increase in nonaccrual loans 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 $35,500  and $21,500 would have been recorded for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Interest income
recognized on loans in nonaccrual status for the period approximated $4,400 and
$10,600, 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 $185,000 at March 31, 1997, a decrease of $128,000
from the year-end 1996 level of $313,000 due to the sale of one property.

</TABLE>
   n/a - Not applicable.
   (1) - Bank of Tucson and Macomb Community Bank, de novo banks, commenced
         operations in June and September 1996, respectively, and are 51% 
         owned by the Corporation.
   (2) - Brighton Commerce Bank, a de novo bank, commenced operations in
         January 1997 and is 59% owned by the Corporation.

        Net interest income increased 14.6% during the three-month 1997 period
versus the corresponding period of 1996.

        Noninterest income increased in 1997 to $834,000 for the three-month
period, as compared with $284,000 for the corresponding 1996 period. This
significant increase related primarily to a nonrecurring gain from the sale of
a bank building and land parcel.  Service charge income decreased 6% and trust
fee income increased 20%.

        The provision for loan losses amounted to $454,000 for the three-month
1997 period as compared to $217,000 for the corresponding period of 1996.  The
increased interim provision for loan losses in 1997 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 three months ended March 31, 1997
approximated $3.9 million compared with $2.7 million in 1996.  The increase in
noninterest expense is associated with normal growth and increases in general
operating costs.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $76.5 million or 14.1% of total
assets at March 31, 1997 as compared with $63.3 million or 12.9% of total
assets at December 31, 1996.  As liquidity levels vary continuously based on
customer activities, amounts of cash and cash





                                 Page 12 of 18
<PAGE>   13

equivalents can vary widely at any given point in time.  Management believes
the Corporation's liquidity position at March 31, 1997 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 March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Corporation
had approximately $53 million and $49 million, respectively, of investment
securities classified as available for sale which can be utilized to meet
various liquidity needs as they arise.

        At March 31, 1997, the Corporation had lines of credit from an
unrelated financial institution aggregating $10 million.  Under this credit
facility, borrowings outstanding approximated $5.6 million at March 31, 1997
($3.5 million at December 31, 1996).  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 $20.8 million at March 31, 1997.

        In 1994, approximately 817,000 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 $8.17 per warrant.  During
the three months ended March 31, 1997, 46,000 warrants were exercised,
resulting in proceeds to the Corporation of $375,000.  These transactions
resulted in issuance of 46,000 shares of common stock during the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  At March 31, 1997, 116,000 warrants remained outstanding
and expire on June 30, 1997.  If all remaining warrants were exercised, the
Corporation would receive additional cash and capital approximating $952,000
and issue 116,000 shares of previously unissued common stock, although there is
no assurance that such warrants will be exercised.

        The Corporation's Board of Directors recently approved a second cash
dividend of $.10 per share (payable June 1, 1997 to shareholders of record as
of May 1, 1997).  The dividend amounts in 1997 represent an increase over the
dividends of $.0825 per share paid quarterly in 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 $226,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

        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





                                 Page 13 of 18
<PAGE>   14

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 7.6% at March
31, 1997, a decrease from the beginning of the year ratio of 8.2%.  The
Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries continue to exceed regulatory
capital requirements as shown on the following page (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.  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.

        Management believes the Corporation's capital resources at March 31,
1997 to be adequate to fund existing operations, future growth and expansion.


Impact of New Accounting Standards

        FASB Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share", will revise the
computation and reporting of earnings per share.  This new standard is intended
to simplify the basis upon which per-share amounts are determined, replacing
"primary" earnings per share with "basic" earnings per share.  "Fully diluted"
earnings per share will be replaced by "diluted" earnings per share. The
Statement will become effective for the Corporation's year end 1997
consolidated financial statements and will result in restatement of per-share
amounts for prior periods.  Early adoption of the new standard is not
permitted.  Management has not completed its analysis of this new accounting
standard.

        FASB Statement No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital
Structure", clarifies the extent and nature of disclosures relating to an
entity's capital structure.  This new standard will become effective for the
Corporation's year end 1997 consolidated financial statements and, upon
implementation, is not expected to have a material impact.

        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.
