Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Retirement Plan Committee
Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan
Lansing, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit of the 2011 financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 2011 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 2011 financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2011 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
As permitted by 29CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), investment assets held by Principal Trust Company, the trustee of the Plan, and transactions in those assets were excluded from the scope of our audit of the Plan’s 2010 financial statements, except for comparing the information provided by the trustee, which is summarized in Note 6 with the related information included in the financial statements. Because of the significance of the information that we did not audit, we are unable to, and do not, express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Plan Description
The following description of the Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document or Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General
Effective January 1, 2011, the Capitol Bancorp Ltd. 401(k) Plan, together with Capitol's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), merged with and into the Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan (Plan). As a result of this merger, attributes of both the Capitol Bancorp Ltd. 401(k) Plan and the ESOP were carried over into the Plan, including account share and basis balances, vesting, voting rights and contribution provisions. The Plan also provides for enhanced participant capabilities, including online viewing of account information, quarterly combined account statements and the ability to transfer holdings in Capitol's common stock into other investment options.
The Plan is a multiple employer, contributory, defined contribution plan available to qualifying employees of Capitol Bancorp Ltd. (Plan Sponsor or Plan Administrator) and its participating subsidiaries (collectively Capitol). To be eligible to participate, an employee must have attained the age of 21 and have completed at least 30 days of service. After the first day of the month following completion of all entrance requirements, eligible employees automatically defer 6% of their compensation, unless they elect a different deferral rate or elect not to participate. To be eligible to receive an ESOP discretionary contribution, an employee must be an active participant on the contribution date and have completed at least 1,000 hours of service in the plan year.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Principal Trust Company (Principal) is the Plan's trustee and record keeper.
The accompanying financial statements present the assets and liabilities and changes therein pertaining to the participant accounts with vested and nonvested rights in allocated shares of Capitol's common stock. All such shares held by the Plan have been allocated to participants' accounts as of December 31, 2011. Capitol has no rights against its shares that have been allocated to participants' accounts.
Contributions
Participants may contribute a percentage of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations, with the contributions and earnings thereon being nontaxable until withdrawn from the Plan. Effective January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010, Capitol suspended matching contributions to the Plan. Effective July 1, 2010, one of the participating subsidiaries resumed matching contributions. Effective January 1, 2011, Capitol's Board of Directors resumed matching contributions whereby participants electing to defer at least 3% of eligible compensation receive a 1% match of such eligible compensation from Capitol. Participants electing to defer less than 3% of eligible compensation are not eligible for this matching contribution.
Capitol may also make additional discretionary contributions to the Plan in such amounts as determined by its Board of Directors (none through December 31, 2011). Capitol's discretionary contributions to the Plan are allocated to each eligible participant's account in the same
See accompanying independent auditors' report.
Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
proportion that each participant's compensation for the plan year bears to the total compensation of all participants.
Participants direct the investment of contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Currently, the Plan offers a guaranteed investment contract fund, a self-directed brokerage account and various mutual funds as investment options to all participants. The Plan also includes various employer-issued securities, including securities of certain nonpublic subsidiaries of Capitol in which no new investments can currently be made.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's and Capitol's contributions and allocations of net Plan investment results based on the investment allocations selected by the participant and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan document.
Vesting
Participants are always 100% vested in the portion of their account resulting from elective deferral contributions. Employees of Capitol on or prior to December 31, 2008 are also fully vested in matching contributions to the Plan. Employees beginning employment on or after January 1, 2009 become vested in matching contributions based on years of service starting at 20% after two years of service and increasing 20% per year until 100% vesting is attained after six years of service or upon reaching normal retirement age of 65. ESOP discretionary contributions follow this same graded vesting schedule regardless of when the employee began employment. If a participant's employment terminates prior to account vesting, the nonvested portion of that participant's account is forfeited.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures resulting from nonvested portions of participant accounts upon the participant's termination of service prior to being fully vested may first be used to pay administrative expenses of the Plan. Any forfeitures remaining after plan expenses are paid are used to offset future contributions.
Payment of Benefits
Upon termination of service, including retirement, disability or death, a participant (or beneficiary, when applicable) may elect to receive a lump-sum distribution, a series of annual payments or a direct transfer to another qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account. Subject to certain conditions and terms, a participant may make voluntary withdrawals while employed. Distributions from the ESOP component of the Plan and self-directed brokerage accounts may be made in cash or in the form of shares of common stock.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow, subject to certain requirements, up to 50% of their vested account balance or $50,000, whichever is less, minus any outstanding loan balance for the 12 months before the date of the new loan. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. Such loans are secured by
See accompanying independent auditors' report.
Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
the balance in the participant's account. Interest rates on outstanding loans range from 4.25% to 9.25%. The loans are repaid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions over a period of five years or less.
Voting Rights
Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the shares of employer-issued securities credited to his or her account. Shares for which participants have not exercised their voting rights will be voted by the trustee in the same proportion as those shares voted.
Administrative Expenses
Certain administrative expenses of the Plan may be paid directly by Capitol or be paid out of the Plan's assets. Certain transaction-based expenses are allocated to participants based upon specific identification of participants initiating such transactions.
Partial Plan Termination
The Plan Sponsor has determined that during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Plan had a partial termination due to certain discontinued operations of Capitol. Accordingly, all affected participants became 100% vested in their accounts, resulting in an insignificant amount of additional benefits payable to former participants. The Plan Sponsor has deposited this previously forfeited amount with the Plan trustee who is in the process of paying the affected former participants.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Capitol has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants' accounts will become fully vested and nonforfeitable.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
See accompanying independent auditors' report.
Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities at the direction of Plan participants. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to those risks, it is possible that changes in the values of investment securities may occur and such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and amounts reported in the Plan's financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. The Plan utilizes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The following valuation methodologies were used to measure the fair value of the Plan's investments:
Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts (including corporate stocks and mutual funds): Valued at quoted market prices in an exchange and active market, which represent the net asset values (NAV) of shares held by the Plan.
Common Stock Issued by Plan Sponsor and Affiliates: Common stock issued by the Plan Sponsor is valued at quoted market prices in an exchange and active market. Common stock as previously issued by the Plan Sponsor affiliates is valued at current book value or most recent selling price, which approximates fair value. No new affiliate stock is allowed to be purchased by participants and participants are subject to certain restrictions on trading affiliate stock.
Mutual Funds: Valued at quoted market prices in an exchange and active market, which represent the NAV of shares held by the Plan.
See accompanying independent auditors' report.
Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Guaranteed Investment Contracts: Valued at fair value as reported by the Plan's trustee by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations considering the credit-worthiness of the issuer (see Note 7).
The Plan's valuation methods may result in a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Although the Plan Administrator believes the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with the market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as investments held during the year.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivables from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent notes receivable from participants are deemed distributions based upon the terms of the Plan Document.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This standard requires new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 recurring fair value measurements. The standard also requires disclosure of activities, on a gross basis, including purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value recurring measurements. The standard clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures regarding Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and clarification of existing disclosures became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Plan's financial statements. The disclosures regarding the reconciliation of information in Level 3 recurring fair value measurements became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and, if applicable, are included in the fair value disclosures in Note 4.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to provide a consistent definition of fair value and improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments are to be applied
See accompanying independent auditors' report.

Notes to Financial Statements
prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Plan management is currently evaluating the effect the provisions of ASU 2011-04 will have on the Plan's financial statements.
3. Related Party Transactions
Investments in common stock represent shares of Capitol and some of its affiliates. Certain Plan investments are managed by Principal as trustee and custodian of the Plan. These qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid to Principal by the Plan totaled $11,098 and $12,886 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Fees paid by the Plan to a subsidiary of Capitol for investment advisory services totaled $74,803 and $74,954 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Capitol Bancorp Limited Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
5. Income Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ruled on June 3, 2004 that the Non-Standardized Prototype for Profit-Sharing Plan (the prototype plan of Prudential Insurance Company of America upon which the Plan is based) qualifies under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the Plan is, therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax law. Subsequent to this ruling, the Plan was amended and restated. The Plan Administrator intends to apply for a new determination letter in 2012 within IRS timeline requirements. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended and restated, is qualified and is tax exempt.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011 there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require disclosure or recognition of a liability (or asset) in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there currently are no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.
6. Information Certified by the Plan's Trustees and Custodian
The Plan Administrator elected the method of annual reporting compliance permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under ERISA as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010. Accordingly, the trustees and custodian certified that the following data included in the accompanying financial statements and supplemental schedule was complete and accurate:
| December 31, | | 2010 | |
| | | | |
| Investments | $ | 33,727,763 | |
| Notes receivable from participants | | 784,358 | |
| | | | |
| Year ended December 31, | | 2010 | |
| | | | |
| Interest income from guaranteed investment contracts | $ | 195,957 | |
| Dividend income | | 352,116 | |
| Net depreciation in fair value of common stocks | | (857,777 | ) |
| Net appreciation (depreciation) from mutual funds | | 3,296,627 | |
| Interest income from notes receivable from participants | | 37,372 | |
The Plan's independent auditors did not perform auditing procedures with respect to this 2010 information, except for comparing it to the related presentation in the accompanying financial statements and supplemental schedule.

Notes to Financial Statements
Investments in assets held by other custodians as of December 31, 2010 of $134,347 (related net depreciation of $711,641) was excluded from the certification provided by the trustee.
7. Guaranteed Investment Contracts
The Plan's investment in the Principal Fixed Income Guaranteed Option (PFIGO) guaranteed investment contract with Principal Life Insurance Company (PLIC) is considered a benefit-responsive group annuity contract. PLIC maintains the contributions in a general account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The contract is included in the financial statements at fair value as reported to the Plan by PLIC, along with the separately stated adjustment from fair value to contract value as of December 31, as follows:
| December 31, | | 2011 | | 2010 | |
| | | | | | |
| Investment, at fair value | $ | 5,088,787 | $ | 6,992,283 | |
Adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts | | 267,831 | | 368,015 | |
| | | | | | |
Investment, at contract value | $ | 5,356,618 | $ | 7,360,298 | |
Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value less an administrative charge. Events that may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value are not probable of occurring. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The average yield and crediting interest rates approximated 2.85% in 2011 and 3.20% in 2010. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but may not be less than 1.50%. Such interest rates are reviewed on a semi-annual basis for resetting. PFIGO is a single-group annuity contract with a fixed rate of interest. As a result, the average yield earned by the Plan is the yield earned (i.e., interest credited) on the group annuity contract. Changes in future interest crediting rates will not effect the amount reported as an adjustment from fair value to contract value on the statement of net assets available for benefits.
8. Subsequent Events
Effective June 25, 2012, contributions and transfers into Capitol's common stock by participants through the Plan have been suspended for an undetermined period of time. During the suspension period, participants may continue to hold or sell shares of Capitol's common stock that were held in the Plan prior to June 25, 2012.
