NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited 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, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain 2001 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. NOTE B - NEW BANKS AND OTHER BANK DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Bank of Las Vegas, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, opened in February 2002. It is majority-owned by Nevada Community Bancorp Limited, which is a majority-owned subsidiary of Capitol. Napa Community Bank, located in Napa, California, opened in March 2002. It is majority-owned by First California Northern Bancorp, which is a majority-owned subsidiary of Capitol. Sunrise Bank of Arizona, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunrise Capital Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol) has expanded its operations in 2002 through opening a private banking center in Scottsdale, Arizona and loan production offices in the states of California, Georgia and Texas. Bank development efforts are currently under consideration at September 30, 2002 in the states of California, Indiana and Michigan. Activities include pre-development exploratory discussions in a number of other states. Page 7 of 29 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LTD. - CONTINUED NOTE C - NET INCOME PER SHARE The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 ------------------------- ------------------------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Numerator--net income for the period $ 4,447,000 $ 2,772,000 $11,404,000 $ 7,755,000 =========== =========== =========== =========== Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator for basic earnings per share) 10,713,287 7,822,606 9,776,774 7,769,316 Effect of dilutive securities--stock options and warrants 525,301 197,753 420,179 151,008 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Denominator for dilutive net income per share-- Weighted average number of common shares and potential dilution 11,238,588 8,020,359 10,196,953 7,920,324 =========== =========== =========== =========== Number of antidilutive stock options excluded from diluted earnings per share computation 160,637 121,665 249,849 158,190 =========== =========== =========== =========== NOTE D - SHARE EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS Share exchange transactions regarding Sunrise Capital Corporation (Sunrise) and Indiana Community Bancorp Limited (Indiana) were completed effective September 30, 2002. An earlier share exchange transaction regarding Sun Community Bancorp Limited (Sun) was completed effective March 31, 2002. In each transaction, the shares acquired from shareholders other than Capitol were exchanged for Capitol's common stock according to a fixed, but differing, exchange ratio. To the extent those subsidiaries had stock options outstanding, such stock options were similarly exchanged for stock options of Capitol. Capitol's common shares issued in the Sun and Sunrise share exchanges are unrestricted; shares issued in the Indiana exchange have resale and transfer restrictions which expire in 2004. In total, Capitol has issued approximately 3.2 million shares of its common stock and 1.1 million stock options resulting from these share exchanges (for aggregate consideration approximating $54.1 million), of which about 450,000 shares were issued effective September 30, 2002. These transactions have been recorded using the purchase-method of accounting. Had these transactions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, net income would have approximated $11.7 million ($1.01 per diluted share) and $7.9 million ($.71 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Page 8 of 29 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LTD. - CONTINUED NOTE D - SHARE EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS - CONTINUED Sun, Sunrise and Indiana were previously included in Capitol's consolidated financial statements. The carrying value of assets and liabilities of those entities closely approximated their fair values at the date of the share exchanges with Capitol. Identified intangible assets (principally core deposit intangibles relating to the Sun share exchange) were estimated to approximate $2.7 million, and are being amortized over a period of approximately five years. Additionally, goodwill of approximately $9.4 million was recorded in conjunction with the share exchanges and will not be amortized, but will be reviewed at least annually for impairment (see Note E). As of September 30, 2002, potential share exchange transactions were pending regarding the minority shareholders of Detroit Commerce Bank and East Valley Community Bank which, if completed, would result in Capitol issuing approximately 54,000 additional shares of common stock and those majority-owned subsidiaries becoming wholly-owned. NOTE E - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, and No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Statement No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under a prior standard of purchase accounting, eliminating the so-called pooling-method which was used to account for some business combinations. This standard did not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized and charged against earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. Amortization of goodwill ceased upon adoption of the Statement on January 1, 2002. This new standard requires that goodwill be reviewed annually for impairment and, accordingly, impairment adjustments of goodwill be charged against earnings, if and when determined. Capitol's previous business combinations (generally, acquisitions of minority interests) have been accounted for using the purchase method. As of September 30, 2002, the net carrying amount of reporting-unit goodwill approximated $17.9 million and other intangible assets approximated $2.4 million. Upon implementation, this new standard has not had a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements, other than the elimination of goodwill amortization. Page 9 of 29 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LTD. - CONTINUED NOTE E - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - CONTINUED Statement No. 142 requires that intangible assets not subject to amortization, such as Capitol's reporting-unit goodwill, be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Such potential impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount within the consolidated group. When goodwill is reviewed for potential impairment, impairment losses must be charged against earnings if and when determined. Substantially all of Capitol's recorded reporting-unit goodwill relates to acquisitions of minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries. Such acquisitions have been made at modest premiums in relation to the underlying fair value of net assets when acquired. Based on management's review of recorded reporting-unit goodwill at the transition date for Statement No. 142, January 1, 2002, no impairment losses were identified as of that date. Paragraph 61 of Statement No. 142 requires supplemental disclosure of historical information, as adjusted to exclude amortization of goodwill no longer being amortized, which is summarized below (in $1,000s except per share amounts): Periods Ended September 30, 2001 Year Ended December 31 ------------------------- --------------------------------------- Three Months Nine Months 2001 2000 1999(1) ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net income, as reported $ 2,772 $ 7,755 $ 10,718 $ 8,035 $ 5,409 Add back -- goodwill amortization 216 602 979 561 318 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net income, as adjusted $ 2,988 $ 8,357 $ 11,697 $ 8,596 $ 5,727 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== Net income per share, as reported: Basic $ 0.35 $ 1.00 $ 1.38 $ 1.14 $ 0.84 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== Diluted $ 0.35 $ 0.98 $ 1.35 $ 1.13 $ 0.83 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== Add back -- goodwill amortization per share: Basic $ 0.03 $ 0.08 $ 0.12 $ 0.08 $ 0.05 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== Diluted $ 0.02 $ 0.08 $ 0.12 $ 0.08 $ 0.05 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== Net income per share, as adjusted: Basic $ 0.38 $ 1.08 $ 1.50 $ 1.22 $ 0.89 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== Diluted $ 0.37 $ 1.06 $ 1.47 $ 1.21 $ 0.88 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== (1) Including cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, which required write-off of previously capitalized start-up costs as of January 1, 1999 ($197, net of income tax effect, or $.03 per share). Page 10 of 29 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LTD. - CONTINUED NOTE E - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - CONTINUED Statement No. 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS, becomes effective January 1, 2003. Management has not completed its analysis of this new standard; however, implementation of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, became effective on January 1, 2002. This new standard did not have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 145, which updates, clarifies and simplifies certain existing accounting pronouncements (rescission of Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, amendment of Statement No. 13 and technical corrections) beginning at various dates in 2002/2003 is not expected to have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 146, ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES, becomes effective January 1, 2003. Management has not completed its analysis of this new standard; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated financial statements, upon implementation. Statement No. 147, ACQUISITIONS OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, amends prior standards relating to some acquisitions of financial institutions, requiring such transactions to be accounted for in accordance with Statements No. 141 and 142 and is generally effective October 1, 2002. Management has not completed its analysis of this new standard; however, it is not expected to have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements, upon implementation. 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 consolidated financial statements. Page 11 of 29 PART I, ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets approximated $2.3 billion at September 30, 2002, an increase of $304 million from the December 31, 2001 level of $2.0 billion.

Page 12 of 29 Portfolio loans increased during the nine-month 2002 period by approximately $224 million. Loan growth was funded primarily by higher levels of time deposits. The majority of portfolio loan growth occurred in commercial loans, consistent with the banks' emphasis on commercial lending activities. Portfolio loan growth in 2002 is net of about $51 million of commercial loans sold to other financial institutions. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2002 approximated $28 million or 1.42% of total portfolio loans, an increase from the year-end 2001 ratio of 1.34%. 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 potential impairment of individual loans and concentrations of credit), past loss experience, current economic conditions, volume, amount and composition of the loan portfolio, loan commitments outstanding and other factors. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and reduced by net charge-offs. The table below summarizes portfolio loan balances and activity in the allowance for loan losses for the interim periods (in thousands): 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- Allowance for loan losses at January 1 $ 23,238 $ 17,449 Loans charged-off: Commercial 4,079 1,269 Real estate mortgage 204 42 Installment 206 301 ---------- ---------- Total charge-offs 4,489 1,612 Recoveries: Commercial 318 314 Real estate mortgage 61 36 Installment 78 25 ---------- ---------- Total recoveries 457 375 ---------- ---------- Net charge-offs 4,032 1,237 Additions to allowance charged to expense 8,692 5,637 ---------- ---------- Allowance for loan losses at September 30 $ 27,898 $ 21,849 ========== ========== Average total portfolio loans for period ended September 30 $1,847,149 $1,513,528 ========== ========== Ratio of net charge-offs (annualized) to average portfolio loans outstanding 0.29% 0.11% ========== ========== Page 13 of 29 Net charge-offs of loans increased $2.8 million in 2002, compared to the nine-month period in 2001. Of that increase, $1.4 million occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, mainly due to losses associated with loans secured by business equipment and accounts receivable. Loan charge-offs have increased throughout 2002. The amounts of the allowance for loan losses allocated in the following table (in thousands) include all loans for which, based on Capitol's loan rating system, management has concerns, and should not be interpreted as an indication of future charge-offs.

At September 30, 2002, total loans under these programs approximated $32 million. Reserves related to these loans, which are represented by earmarked funds on deposit at some of the bank subsidiaries, approximated $1.1 million and are not included in the allowance for loan losses. The state agency administering the Michigan program has announced plans to terminate its program. Upon termination of the program, loans previously enrolled in the program and related reserves will continue until the underlying loans are repaid, but no new loans will be enrolled in the program. While this program has complimented the lending efforts of Capitol's Michigan banks, termination of the program is not expected to have a material adverse affect on those banks' lending activities in the future. The termination of the program may adversely affect the future availability of credit for those borrowers who otherwise would have been eligible for enrollment in the program. Page 14 of 29 Nonperforming loans (i.e., loans which are 90 days or more past due and loans on nonaccrual status) are summarized below (in thousands): Sept 30 Dec 31 2002 2001 -------- -------- Nonaccrual loans: Commercial $ 16,198 $ 11,220 Real estate 986 356 Installment 682 466 -------- -------- Total nonaccrual loans 17,866 12,042 Past due (>=90 days) loans: Commercial 6,721 4,290 Real estate 1,444 787 Installment 270 119 -------- -------- Total past due loans 8,435 5,196 -------- -------- Total nonperforming loans $ 26,301 $ 17,238 ======== ======== Nonperforming loans increased approximately $9 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. Of the nonperforming loans at September 30, 2002, about 70% are real estate secured. Those loans, when originated, had appropriate loan-to-value ratios and, accordingly, have loss exposure which is expected to be minimal; however, underlying real estate values depend upon current economic conditions and liquidation strategies. Most other nonperforming loans are generally secured by other business assets. Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2002 are in various stages of resolution for which management believes such loans are adequately collateralized or otherwise appropriately considered in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In addition to the identification of nonperforming loans involving borrowers with payment performance difficulties (i.e., nonaccrual loans and loans past-due 90 days or more), management utilizes an internal loan review process to identify other potential problem loans which may warrant additional monitoring or other attention. This loan review process is a continuous activity which periodically updates internal loan ratings. At inception, all loans are individually assigned a rating which grades the credits on a risk basis, based on the type and discounted value of collateral, financial strength of the borrower and guarantors and other factors such as nature of the borrower's business climate, local economic conditions and other subjective factors. The loan rating process is fluid and subjective. Potential problem loans include loans which are generally performing as agreed; however, because of loan review's and/or lending staff's risk assessment, increased monitoring is deemed appropriate. In addition, some loans are assigned a more adverse classification, with specific performance issues or other risk factors requiring close management and development of specific remedial action plans. Page 15 of 29 At September 30, 2002, potential problem loans (including the previously mentioned nonperforming loans) approximated $93 million, or about 5% of total consolidated portfolio loans. These potential problem loans do not necessarily have significant loss exposure (nor are they necessarily deemed `impaired'), but rather are classified by management in this manner to aid in loan administration and risk management. Management believes such loans to be adequately considered in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes, however, that current general economic conditions may result in higher levels of future loan losses, in comparison to previous years, as evidenced by higher loan losses in the interim 2002 period. 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 September 30, 2002 and $3.0 million at December 31, 2001. The majority of these properties had sale offers pending at September 30, 2002.

Page 16 of 29 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, was $4.4 million, an increase of $1.7 million or 60% over the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.40 compared to $0.35 for the prior year period. Net income for the nine-month 2002 period was $11.4 million ($1.12 per diluted share), a 47% increase from $7.8 million ($0.98 per diluted share) in the comparable period of 2001. The percentage increase in net income per share was less than the percentage increase in the amount of net income in 2002 because of the larger share base resulting from Capitol's share exchange regarding Sun Community Bancorp effective March 31, 2002. The share exchange transactions regarding Sunrise Capital Corporation and Indiana Community Bancorp, which are discussed elsewhere in this narrative, had no significant effect on results of operations for the interim 2002 periods inasmuch as those share exchange transactions were consummated effective September 30, 2002. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2002 totaled $26.2 million, a 26% increase as compared to $20.7 million for the comparable period in 2001. Net interest income for the nine-month 2002 period was $73.4 million, compared to $58.9 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of 25% during the nine-month period versus 22% in the corresponding period of 2001. These increases are attributable to the expansion in number of banks, the banks' growth and a stable interim 2002 interest rate environment. Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $4.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 74%, over the same period in 2001. On a year-to-date basis, noninterest income totaled $10.4 million in 2002, compared to $7.0 million in 2001. Fees from origination of non-portfolio residential mortgage loans totaled $2 million for the third quarter of 2002, and were $4.4 million for the nine-month period, as compared to $803,000 and $2.2 million for the comparable periods in 2001, respectively, due to higher loan volume resulting from lower interest rates. Service charges on deposit accounts and trust fee income both increased in the third quarter of 2002 by 42% on a combined basis, compared to 2001. Service charges on deposits and trust fee income totaled $3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the nine-month period in 2002, as compared to $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in 2001. Increases in service charges on deposit accounts and trust fee income in 2002 resulted from increased transaction volume. The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2002 was $3.9 million as compared to $2.3 million during the corresponding 2001 period. The loan loss provision for the nine-month 2002 period was $8.7 million, compared to $5.6 million in 2001. Increases in the provision for loan losses are principally related to higher levels of loan charge-offs, increases in nonperforming loans and aggregate loan growth. The provision for loan losses is based upon management's analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, as previously discussed. Noninterest expense totaled $18.9 million for the third quarter, and $56.8 million for the nine-month period in 2002, as compared to $15.9 million and $47.4 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2001. The increase in noninterest expense is associated with newly formed banks, growth and increases in general operating costs. Increases in both occupancy and salaries and employee benefits relate primarily to the growth in the number of banks within the consolidated group.

Total deposits increased $278 million for the nine-month 2002 period, slightly less than the $287 million increase in the corresponding period of 2001. Growth occurred in all deposit categories, with the majority coming from time deposits. The banks generally do not rely on brokered deposits as a key funding source; brokered deposits approximated $193 million as of September 30, 2002, or about 10% of total deposits, an increase of $50 million during the interim 2002 period. Brokered deposits, as a funding source, have increased in recent periods due to competitive environments and selective opportunities to grow deposits at a faster pace and/or lower cost than traditional sources, and may similarly increase in future periods. Page 18 of 29 Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 17% of total deposits at September 30, 2002 and 16% at December 31, 2001. Levels of noninterest-bearing deposits fluctuate based on customers' transaction activity. Interim 2002 deposit growth was deployed primarily into commercial loans, consistent with the banks' emphasis on commercial lending activities. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $227 million or 10% of total assets at September 30, 2002 as compared with $164 million or 8% of total assets at December 31, 2001. 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, 2002 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 have not engaged in active trading of their investments. At September 30, 2002, the banks had approximately $38 million of investment securities classified as available for sale which can be utilized to meet various liquidity needs as they arise. Some of the banks have secured lines of credit with a Federal Home Loan Bank. Borrowings thereunder approximated $69.8 million and additional borrowing capacity approximated $11.2 million at September 30, 2002. These borrowings increased ($6.6 million in the interim periods of 2002) as a lower-cost funding source versus various rates and maturities of time deposits. At September 30, 2002, Capitol had unused lines of credit from an unrelated financial institution aggregating $15 million. Share exchange transactions regarding Sunrise Capital Corporation (Sunrise) and Indiana Community Bancorp Limited (Indiana) were completed effective September 30, 2002. An earlier share exchange transaction regarding Sun Community Bancorp Limited (Sun) was completed effective March 31, 2002. In each transaction, the shares acquired from shareholders other than Capitol were exchanged for Capitol's common stock according to a fixed, but differing, exchange ratio. To the extent those subsidiaries had stock options outstanding, such stock options were similarly exchanged for stock options of Capitol. Capitol's common shares issued in the Sun and Sunrise share exchanges are unrestricted; shares issued in the Indiana exchange have resale and transfer restrictions which expire in 2004. In total, Capitol has issued approximately 3.2 million shares of its common stock and 1.1 million stock options resulting from these share exchanges (for aggregate consideration approximating $54.1 million), of which about 450,000 shares were issued effective September 30, 2002. These transactions have been recorded using the purchase-method of accounting. Had these transactions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, net income would have approximated $11.7 million ($1.01 per diluted share) and $7.9 million ($.71 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Page 19 of 29 As of September 30, 2002, potential share exchange transactions were pending regarding the minority shareholders of Detroit Commerce Bank and East Valley Community Bank which, if completed, would result in Capitol issuing approximately 54,000 additional shares of common stock and those majority-owned subsidiaries becoming wholly-owned. 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. Management believes Capitol and each of its banks are in compliance with regulatory requirements and are expected to maintain such compliance. Stockholders' equity, as a percentage of total assets, approximated 6.2% at September 30, 2002 and increased from 3.9% at the beginning of the year, primarily as a result of the previously-mentioned share exchanges regarding Sun, Sunrise and Indiana. 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 $230.7 million or 10% of total assets at September 30, 2002. 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, acquire 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. TRENDS AFFECTING OPERATIONS One of the most significant trends which can impact the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions are changes in market rates of interest. Changes in interest rates, either up or down, have an impact on net interest income (plus or minus), depending on the direction and timing of such changes. At any point in time, there is an imbalance between interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive liabilities. This means that when interest rates change, the timing and magnitude of the effect of such interest rate changes can alter the relationship between asset yields and the cost of funds. During 2001, the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board decreased interbank interest rates on numerous separate dates, for an unprecedented decrease of 475 basis points during the year. In the first nine months of 2002, interest rates have remained relatively stable. Page 20 of 29 Because variable rate loans reprice more rapidly than interest-bearing deposits, such market interest rate decreases compressed net interest margins at Capitol's banks in 2001. In 2002, however, a more stable interest rate environment has favorably impacted net interest margins at Capitol's banks from interest-bearing deposits repricing at lower rates. As the Open Market Committee continues to influence interest rates and other economic policy during the remainder of 2002, including the potential of rate increases (or decreases), net interest margins may become more compressed (having an adverse impact on earnings) in future periods. Start-up banks generally incur operating losses during their early periods of operations. Recently-formed start-up banks are expected to detract from consolidated earnings performance and start-up banks formed in 2002 and beyond will similarly negatively impact short-term profitability. General economic conditions also have a significant impact on both the results of operations and the financial condition of financial institutions. Media reports of raising questions about the health of the domestic economy have continued in 2002. In 2002, nonperforming loans have increased and it is anticipated that levels of nonperforming loans and related loan losses may increase as economic conditions, locally and nationally, evolve. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, and No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Statement No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under a prior standard of purchase accounting, eliminating the so-called pooling-method which was used to account for some business combinations. This standard did not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized and charged against earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. Amortization of goodwill ceased upon adoption of the Statement on January 1, 2002. This new standard requires that goodwill be reviewed annually for impairment and, accordingly, impairment adjustments of goodwill be charged against earnings, if and when determined. Capitol's previous business combinations (generally, acquisitions of minority interests) have been accounted for using the purchase method. As of September 30, 2002, the net carrying amount of goodwill approximated $17.9 million and other intangible assets approximated $2.4 million. Upon implementation, this new standard did not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements, other than the elimination of goodwill amortization (such amortization approximated $602,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001). Page 21 of 29 Statement No. 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS, becomes effective January 1, 2003. Management has not completed its analysis of this new standard; however, implementation of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, became effective on January 1, 2002. This new standard did not have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 145, which updates, clarifies and simplifies certain existing accounting pronouncements (rescission of Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, amendment of Statement No. 13 and technical corrections) beginning at various dates in 2002/2003 is not expected to have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Statement No. 146, ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES, becomes effective January 1, 2003. Management has not completed its analysis of this new standard; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated financial statements, upon implementation. Statement No. 147, ACQUISITIONS OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, amends prior standards relating to some acquisitions of financial institutions, requiring such transactions to be accounted for in accordance with Statements No. 141 and 142 and is generally effective October 1, 2002. Management has not completed its analysis of this new standard; however, it is not expected to have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements, upon implementation. 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 consolidated financial statements. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES In May 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed significant changes in disclosure rules applicable to public companies. One of those proposed significant changes involves the identification of "critical accounting policies". Capitol's significant accounting policies are described in the financial section of its 2001 Annual Report. In the circumstances of Capitol, management believes its "critical accounting policies" are those which encompass the allowance for loan losses (due to the inherent subjectivity in estimating loan losses), accounting for income taxes (due to the significant U.S. corporate income tax rate and realization of deferred tax assets), accounting for loan fees (relating to the periods of revenue recognition) and accounting for goodwill (due to new accounting standards effective at the beginning of 2002).
