(1) Average yield/cost is determined by dividing the actual interest
income/expense by the daily average balance of the asset or liability category.
(2) Tax equivalent yield.
(3) Average balance of loans includes non-accrual loans.
(4) Interest rate spread represents the average yield on interest-earning assets
less the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. 
(5) Net yield is based on net interest income as a percentage of average total 
interest-earning assets.

CHANGES IN NET INTEREST INCOME (TABLE B)
CAPITOL BANCORP LTD.



The following table summarizes the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities have affected the Corporation's net interest income during the
periods indicated. The change in interest attributable to volume is calculated
by multiplying the annual change in volume by the prior year's rate. The change
in interest attributable to rate is calculated by multiplying the annual change
in rate by the current year's average balance. Any variance attributable jointly
to volume and rate changes has been allocated to each category based on the
percentage of each to the total change in both categories.

The following summarizes, in general, the Corporation's various loan
classifications:

          Commercial - real estate
          Comprised of a broad mix of business use and multi-family housing
          properties, including office, retail, warehouse and light industrial
          uses. A typical loan size approximates $500,000 and, at December 31,
          1998, approximately 15% of such properties were owner-occupied.

          Commercial - other
          Includes a range of business credit products, current asset lines of
          credit and equipment term loans. These products bear higher inherent
          economic risk than other types of lending activities. A typical loan
          size approximates $250,000, and multiple account relationships serve
          to reduce such risks.

          Real Estate
          Includes single family residential loans held for permanent portfolio,
          and home equity lines of credit. Risks are nominal, borne out by loss
          experience, housing economic data and loan-to-value percentages.

          Installment
          Includes a broad range of consumer credit products, secured by
          automobiles, boats, etc., with typical consumer credit risks.



All loans are subject to underwriting procedures commensurate with the loan
size, nature of collateral, industry trends, risks and experience factors.
Appropriate collateral is required for most loans, as is documented evidence of
debt repayment sources.

TABLE D, CONTINUED
CAPITOL BANCORP LTD.

The aggregate amount of nonperforming portfolio loans is set forth in the
following table. Nonperforming loans comprise (a) loans accounted for on a
nonaccrual basis, and (b) loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to
principal and interest payments (but not included in nonaccrual loans in (a)
above) and consist primarily of commercial real estate loans. Nonperforming
portfolio loans include all loans for which, based on the Corporation's loan
rating system, management has concerns. Loans are placed in nonaccrual status
when, in management's opinion, there is a reasonable probability of not
collecting 100% of future principal and interest payments. In addition, certain
loans, although current based on the Corporation's rating criteria, are placed
in nonaccrual status. Generally, loans are placed in nonaccrual status when they
become 90 days delinquent; however, management may elect to continue the accrual
of interest in certain circumstances. When interest accruals are discontinued,
interest previously accrued (but unpaid) is reversed. If nonperforming loans
(including loans in nonaccrual status) had performed in accordance with their
contractual terms during the year, additional interest income of $398,000 would
have been recorded in 1998. Interest income recognized on loans in nonaccrual
status in 1998 operations approximated $58,000. At December 31, 1998, there were
no material amounts of loans which were restructured or otherwise renegotiated
as a concession to troubled borrowers. Of the nonperforming loans at December
31, 1998, $1.6 million is guaranteed by an agency of the federal government.

TABLE E, CONTINUED
CAPITOL BANCORP LTD.



The allowance for loan losses has been established as a general allowance for
future losses on the loan portfolio. For internal purposes, management allocates
the allowance to all loan classifications. The amounts allocated in the
following table, 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 and the 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 Corporation's allowance for loan losses, certain commercial
loans participate in a loan program sponsored by the State of Michigan. Under
that program, the governmental unit shares loss exposure on such loans by
funding reserves which are placed as deposits at the banks. Loans participating
in this program and related reserves approximated $24.9 million and $2 million,
respectively, at December 31, 1998. Such reserve amounts are separate and
excluded from the allowance for loan losses.

Item 2, Properties.

         Substantially all of the Corporation's office locations are leased.
Each of the Corporation's banks operate from a single location, except Capitol
National Bank (which has one branch location in Okemos, Michigan). The addresses
of each bank's main office are stated on pages 3-19, Annual Report, which are
incorporated herein by reference.

         Ann Arbor Commerce Bank, in 1998, and Portage Commerce Bank, in 1997,
relocated their main offices to substantially larger leased facilities
(approximately 18,000 and 10,000 square feet, respectively) in response to asset
growth and to better serve customers.

         Most of the other bank subsidiaries' facilities are generally small
(i.e., less than 10,000 square feet), first floor offices with convenient access
to parking.

         Some of the banks have drive-up customer service. The banks are
typically located in or near high traffic centers of commerce in their
respective communities. Customer service is enhanced through utilization of ATMs
to process some customer-initiated transactions and some of the banks also make
available a courier service to pick up transactions at customers' locations.

         The principal offices of the Corporation are located within the same
building as Capitol National Bank in Lansing, Michigan. Those headquarters
include administrative, operations, accounting, and executive staff and the
Corporation's data center.

         Sun Community Bancorp Limited (a second-tier, 51%-owned bank holding
company headquartered in Arizona) occupies executive office space adjacent to
Camelback Community Bank in Phoenix.

         Certain of the office locations are leased from related parties.
Incorporated by reference from Page 51, Annual Report, under the caption "Note
F--Premises and Equipment" and Pages 14-15, Proxy Statement, from the 9th to
11th paragraph thereunder under the caption "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions".

         Management believes the Corporation's and the banks' offices to be in
good and adequate condition and adequately covered by insurance.


Item 3, Legal Proceedings.

         As of December 31, 1998, there were no material pending legal
proceedings to which the Corporation or its subsidiaries is a party or to which
any of its property was subject, except for proceedings which arise in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, pending legal
proceedings will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of the Corporation.


Item 4, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

         During the fourth quarter of 1998, no matters were submitted to a vote
by security holders.
