PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the statements contained in this document, including Capitol's
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 Capitol 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 Capitol's efforts
to implement its business strategy, (ii) changes in interest rates, (iii)
legislation or regulatory requirements adversely impacting Capitol'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 Capitol's banks and Capitol's ability
to respond to such actions, (ix) the cost of capital, which may depend in part
on Capitol'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 Capitol'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 Capitol 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. Capitol 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.

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Capitol
Bancorp Ltd. (Capitol) 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 Capitol
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, required the write-off of any such costs
previously capitalized. Implementation of this new statement was recorded as a
cumulative effect adjustment in the first quarter of 1999.

NOTE E - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON STOCK

     In May 2000, Capitol completed a private placement of approximately 267,000
shares of common stock and 53,400 warrants (each such warrant permitting the
holder to purchase one share of common stock prior to the expiration date of the
warrant in May 2002). Proceeds from the offering approximated $2.9 million.

NOTE F - 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 Capitol 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 Capitol's financial statements.

                                 PART I, ITEM 2

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets approximated $1.57 billion at September 30, 2000, an increase
of $262 million from the December 31, 1999 level of $1.31 billion. The
consolidated balance sheets include Capitol 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 Community Bancorp Limited, which is a majority-owned subsidiary of Capitol.
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. Also in
September 2000, Goshen Community Bank commenced operations and was added to the
consolidated group as a majority-owned subsidiary of Indiana Community Bancorp
Limited, which is a majority-owned subsidiary of Capitol.

     Portfolio loans increased during the nine-month period by approximately
$249 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 $229 million, consistent with the banks' emphasis
on commercial lending activities. Portfolio loan growth in 2000 is net of about
$19 million of loans sold to other financial institutions.

     The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000 approximated $16
million or 1.26% of total portfolio loans, an increase from the year-end 1999
ratio of 1.20%.

     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.

classifications. The amounts allocated in the following table (in thousands),
which includes all loans for which, based on Capitol'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

     In addition to the allowance for loan losses, certain loans to Michigan
borrowers are enrolled in a state government loan program and have additional
reserves established to provide for loss protection. At September 30, 2000,
total loans under this program approximated $34.6 million. Reserves related to
these loans, which are represented by earmarked funds on deposit at certain of
the bank subsidiaries, approximated $2 million and are not included in the
recorded allowance for loan losses.

     Impaired loans (i.e., loans for which there is a reasonable probability

     Nonperforming loans increased approximately $2.5 million during the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. Most of the nonaccrual loans at
September 30, 2000 are 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.

     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 $3.3 million at September 30, 2000 and $3.6 million at December 31,
1999.

(1)  As a condition of charter approval, bank is generally required to maintain
     an allowance for loan losses of not less than 1% for the first three years
     of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 amounted to $5.7
million ($.80 per diluted share), an increase from the $4.2 million ($.66 per
diluted share) earned from operations during the corresponding period of 1999.
Net income in the nine-month 1999 period, after the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle, approximated $4.0 million ($.63 per diluted
share).

     Third quarter 2000 earnings were a new record level of income and net
income per share. This period was benefited by strong bank performance coupled
with earnings from Sun Community Bancorp, the southwestern bank development
affiliate.

(2)  Commenced operations as a DE NOVO bank in 2000.

     Net interest income increased 43% during the nine-month period versus the
corresponding period of 1999. This increase is attributable to the larger number
of banks and the banks' growth.

     Noninterest income increased in 2000 to $4.4 million for the nine-month
period, as compared with $3.1 million in 1999. Service charge revenue and trust
fee income both increased significantly in the 2000 period by 30% and 68%,
respectively, compared to 1999.

     Provisions for loan losses approximated $5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.9 million during the corresponding 1999
period. 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
approximated $38.9 million compared with $27.9 million in 1999. The increase in
noninterest expense is associated with newly formed banks, growth and increases
in general operating costs. Increases in both employee compensation and
occupancy mostly relate to the growth in number of banks within the consolidated
group.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The principal funding source for asset growth and loan origination
activities is deposits. Total deposits increased $237.4 million for the nine
month 2000 period, compared to $149.6 million in 1999. Such growth occurred in
all deposit categories, with the majority coming from time deposits. Capitol's
banks generally do not rely on brokered deposits as a key funding source;
brokered deposits approximated $62.3 million as of September 30, 2000, or about
4.6% of total deposits.

     Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 14.3% of total deposits at
September 30, 2000, an increase from the December 31, 1999 level of 13.2%.
Levels of noninterest-bearing deposits fluctuate based on customers' transaction
activity.

     Interim 2000 deposit growth was deployed primarily into commercial loans,
consistent with the banks' emphasis on commercial lending activities.

     Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $138.1 million or 9% of total assets
at September 30, 2000 as compared with $104.3 million or 8% 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.

     In addition to cash and cash equivalents, a source of long-term liquidity
is the banks' marketable investment securities. Liquidity needs have not
historically necessitated the sale of investments in order to meet funding
requirements. The banks also have not engaged in active trading of their
investments and have no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future. At
September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the banks had approximately $71.7
million and $102.5 million, respectively, of investment securities classified as
available for sale which can be utilized to meet various liquidity needs as they
arise. The majority of the 2000 decrease in investment securities available for
sale was due to maturities deployed into higher yielding loans. During the first
quarter of 2000, available-for-sale securities aggregating $1 million were sold.

     Some of the Corporation's banks have secured lines of credit with the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Borrowings thereunder approximated $34.8
million and additional borrowing capacity approximated $21.5 million at
September 30, 2000.

     In February 2000, Capitol's borrowings under lines of credit from an
unaffiliated bank were reduced through intercompany borrowings from Sun
Community Bancorp Limited. At September 30, 2000, Capitol had unused lines of
credit from an unrelated financial institution approximating $20 million.

     Capitol's Board of Directors recently approved a fourth quarter cash
dividend of $.09 per share (payable December 1, 2000 to shareholders of record
as of November 1, 2000), following cash dividends of $.09 per share paid March
1, June 1 and September 1, 2000.

     Effective January 31, 2000, the Corporation acquired the minority shares of
Brighton Commerce Bank, previously a 59% owned bank subsidiary, in a share
exchange transaction. Under the terms of the exchange, the Corporation issued
approximately 125,000 previously unissued shares. As a result of the share
exchange transaction, Brighton Commerce Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary.

<PAGE>
     Effective June 30, 2000, Valley First Community Bank, a previously
majority-owned subsidiary of Sun, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun
through a share exchange between Sun and Valley First's minority shareholders.

     In May 2000, Capitol completed a private placement of approximately 267,000
shares of common stock and 53,400 warrants (each such warrant permitting the
holder to purchase one share of common stock prior to the expiration date of the
warrant, May 2002). Proceeds from the offering approximated $2.9 million and
have been used for debt retirement and additional investment in bank development
activities.

     Capitol 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. Capitol 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 4.03%
at September 30, 2000, a slight decrease from the beginning of the year ratio of
4.2%. Total capital funds (Capitol's stockholders' equity, plus minority
interests in consolidated subsidiaries, plus guaranteed preferred beneficial
interests in the corporation's subordinated debentures) aggregated $151.4
million or 9.65% of total assets at September 30, 2000. The following table
summarizes the amounts and related ratios of individually significant
subsidiaries (assets of $130 million or more at the beginning of 2000) and
consolidated regulatory capital position at September 30, 2000:

     Capitol'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, Capitol may invest in or otherwise
develop 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 Capitol.

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.

     Capitol 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 requiring the
write-off of previously capitalized start-up and preopening costs was
implemented effective January 1, 1999. That standard requires that such costs be
charged to expense, when incurred, in future periods.

     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 Capitol 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 Capitol's financial statements.
