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.

                                  JUNE 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 six-month  period ended June 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 C - 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 Community Bancorp Limited,  a consolidated  subsidiary of
Capitol.

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

     In early 2000,  First  California  Northern  Bancorp  and First  California
Southern Bancorp were formed to facilitate  certain bank development  strategies
in California.

     At June 30,  2000,  applications  were  pending  for new banks in  Arizona,
California and Indiana.

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  $1.49  billion at June 30, 2000, an increase of
$180 million from the December 31, 1999 level of $1.31 billion. The consolidated
balance sheets include Capitol and its majority-owned subsidiaries.

     Portfolio loans increased during the six-month period by approximately $152
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  $140 million,  consistent  with the banks' emphasis on commercial
lending activities. Portfolio loan growth in 2000 is net of about $12 million of
loans sold to other financial institutions.

     The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000  approximated $15 million or
1.24% 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),

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 June 30, 2000,  total
loans under this program  approximated $34.3 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
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
June 30, 2000.

     Nonperforming  loans  (i.e.,  loans  which are 90 days or more past due and
loans on nonaccrual status) are summarized below (in thousands):

     Nonperforming  loans  increased   approximately  $1.8  million  during  the
six-month  period ended June 30, 2000. Most of the nonaccrual  loans at June 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  $3.7  million at June 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.

     Noninterest-bearing  deposits  approximated 14.1% of total deposits at June
30,  2000,  an increase  from the  December  31, 1999 level of 13.2%.  Levels of
noninterest-bearing deposits fluctuate based on customers' transaction activity.

Results of Operations

     Net income for the six months  ended June 30, 2000  amounted to  $3,648,000
($.52 per diluted  share),  an increase  from the  $2,842,000  ($.44 per diluted
share)  earned from  operations  during the  corresponding  period of 1999.  Net
income in 1999, after the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle,
approximated $2,645,000 ($.41 per diluted share).

     Second  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.

(1)  Commenced operations as a DE NOVO bank in 1999.
(2)  Commenced operations as a DE NOVO bank in 2000.

     Net interest  income  increased 48% during the six-month  period versus the
corresponding  period of 1999. This increase is attributable to the expansion in
number of banks and the banks' growth.

     Noninterest  income  increased  in 2000  to  $2,824,000  for the  six-month
period,  as compared with  $2,163,000 in 1999.  Service charge revenue and trust
fee  income  both  increased  in the 2000  period by 31% and 70%,  respectively,
compared to 1999.

     Provisions for loan losses approximated $3,366,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $1,710,000 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 six months  ended June 30,  2000  approximated
$25.2 million  compared with $17.5 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  $179.1  million for the six
month 2000 period,  compared to $78.9 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 $50.6 million as of June 30, 2000, or about 4% of
total deposits.

     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 $153.5 million or 10% of total assets
at June 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 June 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 June
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,  the banks had  approximately  $72.8 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 $22.1
million and additional borrowing capacity approximated $21.4 million at June 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 June 30, 2000, Capitol had unused lines of credit
from an unrelated financial institution aggregating $20 million.

     Capitol's  Board  of  Directors  recently  approved  a third  quarter  cash
dividend of $.09 per share (payable  September 1, 2000 to shareholders of record
as of August 1, 2000),  following  cash dividends of $.09 per share paid March 1
and June 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 4.1% at
June 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  $144.8 million or 9.74% of
total assets at June 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 June 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.
