ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurship is the essence of our company spirit.

LOYALTY
The way we treat our customers begins with the way we treat each other. Respect
and reliability encourage loyalty in all of us.

COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
Our success depends upon the success of our community.

INTEGRITY
It is our standard of behavior, which always seeks to do the right thing.

MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL
We are committed to maximizing potential as a company and as individuals.

                               TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders:

In the year 2002 we achieved another plateau in our long-term journey toward
lasting success as a public company. Earnings grew 55%; earnings per share grew
16%; net operating revenues increased 28% and assets increased 18%. We had a
good year. We were rewarded by the stock market with a 74% price increase.

As we build for the future, we are challenged by the reckless indifference many
public companies have demonstrated regarding their own credibility as leaders
and as fiduciaries.

CREDIBILITY

Our ability to succeed as bankers in a competitive environment has been built on
our credibility as service providers. We deliver a higher level of service by
interfacing our customers with human beings. The customers are not left to fend
for themselves when interacting with our banking system. We treat our customers'
concerns with confidentiality and care. We will continue to operate in this
manner at each of our affiliate banks.

The credibility we have established is enhanced by the continuity of our banking
operations. It is a comfort to our customers to know that our banks are
committed to long-term success, thereby avoiding the disruption other
competitors have demonstrated through mergers with out-of-town companies.

However, the responsibility of demonstrating our credibility does not end with
our customer. Recent events regarding the activities of CEOs and boards of
directors throughout corporate America have called into question the conduct of
all public corporations.

We do not wish to risk our credibility with our shareholders. We will do all
that is necessary to protect this important trust. For these reasons the board
of directors, during the first quarter of last year, initiated a review of our
corporate governance practices and executive compensation arrangements.

This effort resulted in the revision of our Corporate Code of Ethics and the
development of Corporate Governance Guidelines. Moreover, the board adopted a
charter for each standing committee. These important accomplishments are
published on our website.

In addition, the Compensation, Audit and Nomination and Governance Committees
are made up exclusively of independent directors consistent with the new
guidelines published by the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Market.

                           -------------------------
                             WE DO NOT WISH TO RISK
                            OUR CREDIBILITY WITH OUR
                                 SHAREHOLDERS.
                             WE WILL DO ALL THAT IS
                           NECESSARY TO PROTECT THIS
                                IMPORTANT TRUST.
                           -------------------------

Finally, a review and revision of the employment contracts of senior officers
was completed to ensure that management is incented toward long-term objectives.

As we continue to develop our long-range strategic plan, we know that ongoing
credibility with our customers and our shareholders remains vital to our
success.

CORE VALUES

Our credibility is driven by our core values. We currently have 29 banks and
operate in 8 states. Each of our banks is benefited by a board of directors who
are residents of their banking community. Our bank directors are the most
significant off-balance-sheet assets of the Corporation. Their impartial
oversight of banking operations is matched by significant individual business
development efforts. Unlike most other banking models, ours is built around our
bank directorships.

2

During the past year we initiated an effort to identify our core values as a
company. This undertaking recognized both the geographic and cultural diversity
of our bank boards and our employees. At the conclusion of the process we were
able to construct a definition of our core values:

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS THE ESSENCE OF OUR COMPANY SPIRIT.

LOYALTY
THE WAY WE TREAT OUR CUSTOMERS BEGINS WITH THE WAY WE TREAT EACH OTHER. RESPECT
AND RELIABILITY ENCOURAGE LOYALTY IN ALL OF US.

COMMUNITY COMMITMENT
OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON THE SUCCESS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

INTEGRITY
IT IS OUR STANDARD OF BEHAVIOR, WHICH ALWAYS SEEKS TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL
WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL AS A COMPANY AND AS INDIVIDUALS.

                                    [PHOTO]

These values are not objectives we would like to attain -- they represent who we
are as a company. They serve as an instrument of measurement in all that we
undertake. I invite you to view the various letters each bank president has
submitted in this report which demonstrate our core values.

PERFORMANCE

For the year 2002, record net operating revenues of $115.6 million increased
approximately 28% when compared to the $90.1 million figure recorded in 2001.
Record earnings of approximately $16.7 million for 2002 reflect 55% growth when
compared to $10.7 million in 2001. On an earnings per share (EPS) basis, Capitol
reported basic ($1.64) and diluted ($1.57) figures for 2002 that were 19% and
16%, respectively, ahead of 2001's comparable period levels of $1.38 and $1.35.
The 28% growth in net operating revenues for 2002 was aided by an approximate
56% increase in noninterest income, offsetting the 20% expansion in operating
expense that reflects both the opening of two new affiliate banks in California
and Nevada and new loan production offices in Texas, California and Georgia. In
addition, the consolidation of minority interests at several of Capitol's
affiliate development holding companies during 2002 served to dramatically
expand the share base from approximately 7.8 million shares at the end of 2001
to roughly 11.3 million shares at year end.

INVESTOR SIMPLIFICATION

On March 31, 2002, the public ownership profile of our primary southwest-based
development holding company, Sun Community Bancorp Limited, was consolidated in
a share exchange with Capitol Bancorp. Subsequently, the shared investments in
our Indiana, Nevada, and SBA-specialist, Sunrise Capital, holding companies were

                                                                               3

exchanged for stock in Capitol Bancorp. These four second-tier holding companies
are now 100% owned by Capitol Bancorp. The share base of Capitol Bancorp was
increased by nearly 50% and our corporate structure was simplified. These
actions were received positively within the investor community.

At the end of 2000, the market capitalization, or the total value the investor
community had assigned to the Corporation, equaled approximately $75 million.
Closing out 2001, the market capitalization of the Corporation measured just shy
of $105 million. Following the share exchanges, Capitol Bancorp's market
capitalization increased more than 2.5 times to over $270 million in 2002.

BUILDING A TRACK RECORD

Our message, supported by our performance, is connecting with the investor
community to produce operating results in line with investor expectations, while
not sacrificing potential growth opportunities which serve to enhance the future
earnings stream. The performance of the past few years reflects this operating
dynamic. Since the end of 1998, assets have more than doubled from just over $1
billion to more than $2.4 billion. In the same time frame, shareholder equity
has nearly quadrupled from approximately $49 million to over $160 million, while
earnings ($4.6 million to approximately $16.7 million) and operating revenues
($37 million to more than $115 million) have both more than tripled. At the end
of 1998, we had 17 community banks in our family. Today, the affiliate system
totals 29, with new opportunities being explored every day. In 1998, EPS
measured $0.72, while total shares outstanding equaled 6.3 million. In 2002, our
EPS exceeded "street" expectations reaching $1.57, and we entered 2003 with more
than 11.3 million shares outstanding.

We are often perceived as a company running contrarian to the banking industry's
trend of "bigger means better" by remaining committed to our most critical
operating constituency -- the customer relationship. We continue to believe that
this strategy will promote long-term success.

EMERGING PROFITABILITY

As we enter 2003, only 11 of our 29 affiliate banks are more than 5 years old.
The earnings potential of our other 18 maturing, but youthful, banks will serve
to expand our revenue and earnings stream over the next few years.

                        -------------------------------
                        THESE VALUES ARE NOT OBJECTIVES
                           WE WOULD LIKE TO ATTAIN --
                           THEY REPRESENT WHO WE ARE
                                 AS A COMPANY.
                        -------------------------------

A FOOTNOTE REGARDING ACQUISITIONS

Capitol Bancorp has successfully completed numerous "acquisitions" of the
internally-generated variety as we consolidated the minority interests of our
affiliates. These transactions were transparent to the customer, effectively
resulting in an accounting formality for what had been operating reality.
However, as we survey the landscape, we recognize that there may be
possibilities to augment our traditional de novo development efforts with
selective acquisitions. As we have successfully done in the past, we will
continue to look at potential transactions, searching for both a cultural fit
and an accretive earnings opportunity.

We invite you to share our optimism for the coming years.

          BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                     BANK OF LAS VEGAS

         Vincent J. Ciminise      Bank of Las Vegas opened in February of 2002 to opportunity, excitement,
                   President      anticipation, and challenge. Throughout its first year the Bank realized the
           Bank of Las Vegas      successful completion of many goals. These accomplishments were achieved through
                                  an unprecedented level of entrepreneurship exhibited by our employees. Following
              Darlene Copsey      are a few examples of the spirit demonstrated by our team:
         Secretary/Treasurer
        The Alpha Group Ltd.           We developed a marketing plan for the Bank utilizing landmarks that are
                                       synonymous with our namesake -- Las Vegas. This unique advertising is used
           Michael J. Devine           on our courier van, and it was also used to give our temporary facility
             Attorney at Law           some needed character. The van carries replicas of landmarks in the city
                                       including the head of the Egyptian from the Luxor Hotel and the distinctive
               Leo N. Durant           "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" marker located at the entrance to the city.
                       Owner           We covered the front of the bank with a large billboard that depicted the
            LND Construction           skyline of downtown Las Vegas. The comments from the local community have
                                       been very positive. I can assure you that people remember our courier van
            Scott R. Gragson           and eye-catching signage, which is entrepreneurial advertising at its best.
            Managing Partner
            GKT Acquisitions           During our first year we benefited from the unification efforts of our
                                       affiliated banks and implemented procedures consistent with the new
           Donald K. Hamrick           consolidated systems. The staff embraced the opportunity to learn new
             General Manager           skills and apply them to meet the bank's specific needs, as would any
   Signature Lincoln Mercury           entrepreneur.

             Darryl J. Hardy           Whether adjusting to an incredibly small temporary working facility, or
              Vice President           helping a customer find a way to start their own business, our employees
    Hardy Painting & Drywall           exemplify those traits associated with a true entrepreneur. Their positive
                                       attitudes, and the consistent encouragement they provide to new customers,
         Alan R. Houldsworth           stems from the pleasure that comes from running an autonomous operation.
                     Partner           Entrepreneurs enjoy their creative freedom, working hard and the
 Houldsworth & Company, CPAs           satisfaction of ultimate success.

            Charles L. Lasky      As the Bank continues to grow and mature, we must never lose sight of how we
                   President      reached this point. That strength will ensure our future.

Our team at Camelback Community Bank takes great pride in our commitment to all           Shirley A. Agnos
of our shared core values. We display these values every day in our work, our             President
volunteer activities and our personal behavior.                                           Arizona Town Hall

The past several years have proven that a bank must create a reputation for               Cord D. Armstrong
customer service outside of the traditional scope if it is going to provide               CPA/Manager
financial services that are truly unique and tailored to meet the needs of its            Miller Wagner Business Services, Inc.
customers. Customers have many choices today and have more access to information
than ever before. This new banking environment requires our bank to be ever more          Michael J. Devine

We have concluded that Camelback's new checking account that rewards our                  Winfield L. Holden III
customers for increasing their account balance, while offering both convenience           Publisher
and a competitive interest rate, provides an attractive investment opportunity.           Arizona Highways Magazine
In today's low interest-rate environment, many individuals are investing in cash
vehicles that earn very little interest. In an effort to meet our customers'              Michael L. Kasten
needs, and at the same time add growth to the Bank, we created an                         Managing Partner
interest-bearing checking account that pays a premium interest rate for deposits          Kasten Investments, LLC
in excess of $25,000. Additionally, the account is tiered, and at each of the
higher levels, the interest rate increases substantially.                                 Gregory M. Kruzel

In our continued effort to support the nonprofit agencies in our community, we            Braun, Becker, Kruzel, P.C.
offered this account to them as well. They are extremely grateful to increase
the return on their deposits, especially now when fundraising is more difficult           Robert V. Lester
than ever and every penny counts.                                                         President

This checking account has delivered all that we expected and more. It increased
our total deposits by 20% in 90 days and is a great opportunity for introducing           John S. Lewis
new customers to Camelback Community Bank.                                                President - Western Regions

               Robert J. Andrews     Desert Community Bank has carved out a niche in the greater Las Vegas
    CFO & Director of Operations     marketplace, which has distinguished us from our peers. Although Las Vegas is
            IGT Lottery Division     often touted as the fastest growing city in America, with some 5,000 new
                                     residents every month, many of our directors have extensive community roots.

                                     remain well connected with county and municipal government, as well as the

                                     For example, we have a customer with a continual need for new technicians to
                  Garry L. Hayes     work in his specialty of selling and installing automated HVAC systems and
                       President     controls in large facilities. It is a difficult field in which to find qualified

Entrepreneurship is a word rarely associated with banking. One dictionary            James M. Badaluco
defines an entrepreneur as "one who organizes and assumes the risk of a business     Vice President
or enterprise." Bankers are in the business of minimizing and managing risk.         S.J. Wisinski & Company
They are generally not willing to step out and assume risk. That willingness --
even eagerness, at times -- is the root source of Capitol Bancorp's success.         Paul R. Ballard
                                                                                     Retired President & CEO
Three years ago, Kent Commerce Bank had no U.S. Small Business Administration        Portage Commerce Bank
(SBA) loans in its commercial portfolio. SBA loans can be complex, require
significant training and expertise, and have rigorous servicing requirements.        Sharon M. Buursma
Yet in 2002, Kent was the primary contributor to the program that resulted in        Executive Vice President
Capitol Bancorp being named SBA "Community Lender of the Year" in Michigan --        Spectrum Health
the highest SBA award given to a community bank. Why? We recognized the
opportunity for SBA lending in the market and we felt it was an essential            Kevin J. Einfeld
service that we needed to provide to our customers. We then looked for, and          President
committed the people and resources necessary, to be successful. Was it a risk?       BDR, Inc.
Absolutely. SBA lending is highly specialized and mistakes can be costly. The
financial rewards from our success, however, have been great, both for our Bank      Grant J. Gruel
and the company's reputation as a whole.                                             Partner/Trial Attorney
                                                                                     Gruel, Mills, Nims & Pylman
As a bank focused on small business, we find that the majority of our clients
are entrepreneurs themselves, having built their businesses from the ground up.      Gary D. Hensch
Very few bankers truly understand what that means. We do, because we built our       CPA
bank the same way. Without taking a few risks, success comes very slowly, if         Redstone Group
ever. Our clients understand how we built our bank and, accordingly, they know
we're able to relate to them like no one else can.                                   R. Ted Hudson
                                                                                     Owner
Bankers are typically not interested in trying something new, particularly if an     Prestige Property, Inc.
element of risk exists. At Kent Commerce Bank, however, our entrepreneurial
spirit is foundational. It is a much-cherished value all our banking                 Harold A. Marks
professionals embrace and exemplify.                                                 CPA/Partner

        BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                  MACOMB COMMUNITY BANK

            Robert C. Carr     Macomb Community Bank (MCB) believes that entrepreneurs provide a significant
  Executive Vice President     economic contribution to any community. Supporting entrepreneurs in a timely
   Capitol Bancorp Limited     manner, with financial products designed to meet their needs, is what we do.
                               Although many banks have changed their focus in the last several years, MCB
         Timothy J. Cuttle     remains committed to its vision of supporting small business by providing a high
           President & CEO     level of communication and quality products. As a smaller bank, we think of
     Macomb Community Bank     ourselves more like the entrepreneurs we serve. At MCB, customers can meet with
                               a senior officer, or even the President, at any time. We think it's an important
 Christina C. D'Alessandro     part of our overall responsibility. I would like to share with you some recent
            Vice President     examples of MCB supporting small business in our community:
        Villa Custom Homes
                                    In 2002, MCB assumed a major leadership role in hosting and sponsoring a
         Ronald G. Forster          series of five economic luncheons that focused on areas of interest to
                   Retired          small business. Topics such as economics, technology, global competition,
                                    real estate and the automotive industry were discussed at length during
             James R. Kaye          these meetings. The program was so successful that we have committed to
           President & CEO          continue this event on an annual basis.
     Oakland Commerce Bank
                                    MCB is a major sponsor of the 100th anniversary of the Central Macomb
            David F. Keown          County Chamber of Commerce, one of the oldest chambers in the state of
         Building Official          Michigan and the country. The Chamber, with its 1,000 members, exists to
       Washington Township          support entrepreneurs and MCB supports its vision.

     Dr. Albert L. Lorenzo          Entrepreneurship can begin at any stage in life. MCB believes we can help
                 President          develop entrepreneurs of the future. In 2003, the Bank will provide a
  Macomb Community College          business scholarship for tuition at Macomb Community College. The college,
                                    one of the largest junior colleges in the country, has a student enrollment
       Delia Rendon Martin          of nearly 50,000. We support its efforts in providing a quality educational
                  Co-Owner          opportunity for future entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurship is the essence of our success at Mesa Bank. We define               Neil R. Barna
entrepreneurship as the recognition and pursuit of opportunity, the confidence       President & CEO
that we can be successful, and the flexibility to adjust our course in response      Mesa Bank
to changes in our marketplace and community.
                                                                                     Richard D. Crandall, CPA
Entrepreneurship is about vision, persistence and innovation. We believe that we     President/Partner
have the vision to expand, improve or change our products and services to meet       C N Resource, LLC
the needs of our community. Working personally with businessmen and women of our
community is our practice. Meeting their banking needs and wants is our goal.        Michael J. Devine
                                                                                     Attorney at Law
We also recognize the value of giving back to our community. We have staff
members on local boards of educational foundations and boards of chambers of         Debra L. Duvall
commerce. We have a bank officer that has dedicated her time to Junior               Superintendent
Achievement and teaches classes sponsored by JA. Susan Haverstrom teaches            Mesa Public Schools
elementary school children the value of learning and staying in school,
community involvement and various aspects of business. Her persistence in            Brian K. English
teaching local children these aspects of life will serve them well as they           General Counsel
become active members of our community.                                              Capitol Bancorp Limited

To maintain market leadership, we must meet our customers' changing needs. At        Robert R. Evans
Mesa Bank we attempt to bring out the "inner innovator" that resides in each of      President
us. By doing so we find the right solutions for our customers. Mesa Bank opened      Evans Management Company
a loan production office in the Falcon Field area of Mesa in December 2002. What
makes this entrepreneurial endeavor unique is that the person spearheading this      Stewart A. Hogue
effort was not in the banking business before joining Mesa Bank in 2002. Jim         Principal
LeCheminant, a thirty-year resident of Mesa, has adapted well to the banking         SALK Management, LLC
environment by introducing innovative methods of developing new customers and
meeting their needs.                                                                 Michael L. Kasten
                                                                                     Managing Partner
At Mesa Bank, we realize entrepreneurship is not static, but fluid. We must          Kasten Investments, LLC
continue to seek opportunities and methods to assist our customers and our
community.                                                                           Philip S. Kellis

                  BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                 SUNRISE BANK OF ARIZONA

                    Sandra A. Abalos     "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door."
                           President     ... And so we did.
             Abalos & Associates, PC
                                         Since Sunrise Bank of Arizona opened in December of 1998; the Sunrise team has
                    Michael R. Allen     built a lot of doors and taken the worlds of SBA lending and banking by storm.
                           President     Sunrise married owner-user real estate lending with banking services for small
                  Sureway Properties     businesses. Before the Sunrise Bank model was invented, SBA lending and banking
                                         were different worlds. The Sunrise team shared a vision with Capitol Bancorp, a
                        James P. Dew     vision that brought two entrepreneurs together to create a bank built on this
               Dew Wealth Management     very unique model. Our model is quite simple -- concentrate on the needs of
                                         dynamic small business owners and entrepreneurs, provide them with extraordinary
                   Michael J. Devine     service, with an emphasis on SBA loans for equipment, working capital and
                     Attorney at Law     facilities, and turn them into loyal, long-term customers. The customer
                                         relationships begin with SBA lending. While many traditional banks consider SBA
                    Brian K. English     lending the last resort for their customers, Sunrise believes it presents an
                     General Counsel     incredible opportunity to differentiate itself from the competition. Since 94%
             Capitol Bancorp Limited     of businesses in the United States are classified as "small," Sunrise has tapped
                                         into a remarkable customer base. As a result, the Sunrise model is a successful
                    Patrick C. Hayes     and innovative business model that seeks out these growing markets.
                       Patrick Hayes
                        Architecture     After we built the doors, we opened them to industrious professionals who share
                                         the same vision of providing unparalleled financial services for the underserved
                  William D. Hinz II     small business market. Sunrise is committed to recruiting the best -- smart,
                                 CEO     motivated, and entrepreneurial people who care about others... those who will
             Sunrise Bank of Arizona     take a personal interest in small business owners, get to know their businesses,
                                         and help them reach their goals... people who know that by helping their
                        J. Garth Jax     customers prosper, they will succeed as well.
                        Entrepreneur
                                         SBA lending is an innovative vehicle for building a community bank. It requires
                   Michael L. Kasten     a collective team effort to help finance people's dreams, and their
                    Managing Partner     entrepreneurial ventures. Sunrise Bank of Arizona is composed of an
             Kasten Investments, LLC     entrepreneurial team whose personalities create and innovate to build more banks
                                         of recognized value around real opportunities. The energy that emanates from
                     Kevin B. Kinerk     this team is powerful, and this influence makes a difference in the community,
            Executive Vice President     in the Bank, and in the spirit exemplified by the employees.

               BOARD OF DIRECTORS                              BLACK MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY BANK

                Peter M. Atkinson     Before Black Mountain Community Bank was organized three years ago, several
                        President     members of our original team of eight worked together for banks that have since
    Black Mountain Community Bank     been lost in mergers. We often spoke of having our own bank where banking was
                                      done the way we remembered. Some of us mentioned going to the bank with our
               Michael D. Ballard     parents when we were kids. Besides the lollipops, what we recalled was how the
                        President     tellers cheerfully greeted our parents by name, and took a few moments to catch
     Ballard Communications, Inc.     up on what the family was up to. At our dream bank each member of the team would
                                      be upbeat like that, because each member of the team would be working at a job
                Michael J. Devine     he or she genuinely enjoyed and one where he or she knew his or her contribution
                  Attorney at Law     was valued. Our customers would want to do business with us, rather than the
                                      next bank down the street, because they would know that we could, and would,
                 Betty A. Kincaid     serve them better than any other bank.
                        President
   Southwest Exchange Corporation     Once our bank was capitalized, creating was relatively easy. Three years later,
                                      our team now numbers twelve, and we collectively have 296 years of banking
                 Charles L. Lasky     experience. Our shareholders expect a strong return on their investment. In
                        President     order to accomplish that, we have recruited and retained satisfied customers
     Lasky, Fifarek & Hogan, P.C.     like those we envisioned in our planning sessions. We have earned the respect of
                                      our customers, who are engaged as extended members of the Team. We trust each
              Claire M. MacDonald     other to do our respective jobs with excellence and our clients trust us to

               Thomas C. Mangione     Because of the mutual respect among bank team and customers, we are able to
        Chairman, President & CEO     provide superior service in extraordinary circumstances. Recently, a customer
          Red Rock Community Bank     and his wife were vacationing in Mexico when she became critically ill. It
                                      became necessary that she be quickly airlifted to Las Vegas at great expense.
                 Michael J. Mixer     When the Bank received a telephone call requesting that a large sum be wire
                 Corporate Broker     transferred to Mexico, we had all of the normal concerns. We worried for her
           Colliers International     health, as she was personally known by all of us. As professionals, we had to be
                                      sure our customer was in fact, making the request. We also needed to confirm
     Colleen C. O'Callaghan-Miele     that our customers weren't being forced, under duress, to transfer the amount out
          VP/Circulations Manager     of their accounts. Our bank manager was able to talk to our customers by phone at
              H.B.C. Publications     the hospital and confirm to her satisfaction that the request was real so the
                                      funds could be wired to Mexico. Two months later, to our great pleasure, the
               Phillip N. Ralston     recovered customer walked into the bank to personally thank us.

Capitol National Bank recognized a little more than twenty years ago, the            Robert C. Carr
importance of developing a strong spirit of loyalty to our employees. They, in       Executive Vice President
turn, have shown the same concern and dedication, not only to the Bank, but also     Capitol Bancorp Limited
to our customers. We have always encouraged a working atmosphere that is
respectful and caring of one another, knowing those same traits are key to           Nan Elizabeth Casey
providing successful customer relationship management.                               Attorney at Law
                                                                                     Fraser Law Firm
To that end, CNB encourages a free flow of employee ideas on how to improve our
product and service delivery. We encourage and expect our management and staff       Charles J. Clark
to continually enhance their job knowledge and skills by participating in            President
banking courses and seminars. Several years ago we began monthly "Lunch & Learn"     Clark Construction Company
programs conducted by our senior management team. This format has been an
excellent tool to continually reinforce a strong sense of camaraderie, as well       Brian K. English
as showing our commitment to making our employees the best they can be. By           General Counsel
regularly providing training and information about the Bank, its products and        Capitol Bancorp Limited
banking in general, members of our team increase their value to the Bank, and to
each other.                                                                          David E. Ferguson

This work environment, which enhances employee value and reliability, has been       Ferguson Development
nurtured and is a key ingredient in the development of our long-lasting customer
relationships. Unlike the behavior of many of today's larger financial               Patrick F. Hayes
institutions, we always try to work with our customers both in good times and        President
during periods when running a profitable business is more challenging. We do not     F.D. Hayes Electric
run hot or cold based on the economy or a customer's short-term performance. We
value loyalty, character, integrity and working together to create an                Richard A. Henderson
environment that has been critical to the long-term success of our customers and     President
the Bank.                                                                            Henderson & Associates, PC

The fact that the average tenure of members of our management team is 14 years       J. Christopher Holman
gives our staff and customers the comfort of knowing we will continue to be here     Publisher
to meet their needs. That level of continuity has no price tag as we build and       Greater Lansing Business Monthly
expand a solid business base, which in turn becomes a wonderful referral source,
continually assisting Capitol National's development plan and success.               L. Douglas Johns, Jr.

                       Nancy B. Banks     Loyalty to our shareholders, clients, and employees is demonstrated daily at
                  Community Volunteer     Elkhart Community Bank. Extraordinary customer anecdotes evidencing the loyalty
                                          of our banking professionals stand side-by-side with day-to-day procedures,
                    R. Steven Bennett     which reinforce the importance of loyalty.
                            President
               Voyager Products, Inc.     When one of our clients was purchasing a condominium in Florida, an opportunity
                                          arose to demonstrate our core values. We had discussed a real estate loan and
                     Kenneth W. Brink     planned on closing it the following Tuesday morning so the customer could take
                            Treasurer     the check with him when he flew to Florida that afternoon. On the Saturday prior
             Hart Housing Group, Inc.     to the scheduled closing, we received a call at home from the client saying he
                                          needed the check on Monday afternoon instead of Tuesday. Because that Monday was
                      Steven L. Brown     a holiday, the Bank was not scheduled to be open. We were able to come into the
                            President     bank on a Sunday afternoon and prepare the appropriate loan information, to
               Elkhart Community Bank     accommodate this emergency request for our client.

                       Robert C. Carr     Our procurement policy reminds us routinely of our loyalty to community vendors.
             Executive Vice President     We believe that giving business back to our clients and community first is an
              Capitol Bancorp Limited     important part of relationship banking and a true advantage over our big bank
                                          competitors. During 2002, we needed to replace the heating and air conditioning
                      Andrew W. Frech     units for our bank building. Both of the firms from which the Bank solicited
                       Chairman & CEO     bids on the job have borrowing and depository relationships with the bank. Even
     Ancon Construction Company, Inc.     when the Bank is planning a small lunch for our board meetings, we hire local
                                          eateries that bank here to cater the meals.
                  Curtis T. Hill, Jr.
                      Attorney at Law     Elkhart Community Bank exhibits loyalty every day. We understand that we are in
    Elkhart Co. Pros. Attorney Office     business because of our directors, employees, shareholders, and our clients, and
                                          we treat them with the respect that they deserve.

In May of 1995, Grand Haven was ready for a community bank. Small banks offer a      Stanley L. Boelkins
high level of personal customer service and attention. The concept of meeting        Appraiser
face-to-face across the desk with customers is reminiscent of days gone by.          Boelkins & Associates

Grand Haven Bank takes a common sense approach toward banking to meet the needs      John D. Groothuis
of its customers. The Bank began with word-of-mouth referrals, knocking on doors     President & CEO
and building trust and relationships. As the customers' needs have grown, so has     Grand Haven Bank
the Bank. We opened with 4 employees; Grand Haven Bank now has over 30
professionals on its team.                                                           Mark A. Kleist

the needs of our customer. This includes both personal and business banking,         Steven L. Maas

Directors consider not only the financial merit of a loan request, but the
people behind the project and their families. This approach demonstrates Grand       Robert J. Trameri

rather than trying to make the customer's project fit into an inflexible,
standardized formula.                                                                Bruce A. Thomas

Grand Haven Bank consistently endeavors to meet the needs of its customers and       Capitol Bancorp Limited
its employees. In doing so, we build lasting relationships that promote
satisfaction in a job well done, continued loyalty, numerous referrals, and          John P. Van Eenenaam

                 BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                  OAKLAND COMMERCE BANK

                     Mark A. Aiello     Oakland Commerce Bank has always believed that for a bank, or any business for
                    Foley & Lardner     that matter, loyalty is a reciprocal process. It is unrealistic to believe that
                                        a customer will be loyal to the bank when the bank's actions do not demonstrate
                    Donald A. Bosco     loyalty to the customer.
                          President
     Donald A. Bosco Building, Inc.     As an example, a long time customer approached us on behalf of his wife who
                                        wanted to start a computer hardware/software business. She had been unable to
                     Robert C. Carr     obtain financing at other banks in the Farmington Hills area. The usual declines
           Executive Vice President     were received.... start-up business, no experience, no money.... no loan.
            Capitol Bancorp Limited
                                        Because of the long-term bank relationship with our customer, we responded to
                   Mark B. Churella     his request to meet with his wife and explore her business needs. We eventually
                    President & CEO     determined that with her technical background and professional contacts, her
                          FDI Group     request had merit. We were also convinced that her business plan was sound and
                                        that all she needed was a small working capital line of credit to get the
                      Leon S. Cohan     business up and running. We provided the initial loan in 1993, and have provided
                Counsel to the Firm     several increases through the years. Today, the company is very profitable and
       Barris, Scott, Denn & Driker     is poised to generate several million dollars in revenue.

                  Michael J. Devine     Other banks now approach this customer on a regular basis, but the customer
                    Attorney at Law     informs them that there is only one bank that she deals with... Oakland Commerce
                                        Bank.

                      James R. Kaye     moved to various departments within the Bank and developed her position to the
                    President & CEO     level of Vice President. She is also a key member of the senior management staff
              Oakland Commerce Bank     who relies on her sense of history, overall knowledge of the customers and the
                                        mechanics of banking operations.

During 2002, Portage Commerce Bank entered its fifteenth year of exceeding the       Paul R. Ballard
financial service needs of small businesses and individuals. No greater measure      Retired President & CEO
can be found of the loyalty and dedication established among the Bank, its           Portage Commerce Bank
employees, and its customers than the long-standing relationships that have
developed. We are proud that two of the six employees that opened the Bank           David L. Becker
reached retirement serving our customers. Five of our employees have over ten        Retired Insurance Agent
years of service and nine have more than five years of service. Their dedication
is appreciated.                                                                      Thomas R. Berglund, MD

At the same time, we have built a loyal following among the people we serve,
including over 300 accounts established during our inaugural year that continue      Robert B. Borsos
to do business with us today. Our most effective resource in the development of      Attorney & Shareholder
new business opportunities continues to be testimonials of the customers who         Kreis, Enderle, Callander & Hudgins, PC
helped launch their bank, in addition to newer faithful customers.

In 1988 a group of local businesspeople who helped form Portage Commerce Bank        Partner
accepted the responsibility of participating on its board of directors. Nine of      Brink, Key & Chludzinski, P.C.
those original directors remain on the board today! It is their steadfast,
focused attention on broadening the customer base that supports and sustains the     Patricia E. Dolan
Bank. In 1999, a number of them formed a partnership that built the current          Community Volunteer
banking facility, providing a more substantial presence in the Portage market.
Their continued investment in our community reflects the entrepreneurial spirit      Alan A. Halpern, MD

               William R. Assenmacher     Loyalty is a quality that's becoming increasingly harder to find, whether it's
                            President     employee loyalty to a company or consumer loyalty to a product.
           T.A. Caid Industries, Inc.
                                          The way we treat our bank customers begins with the way we treat each other. The
                     Jody A. Comstock     importance of workplace loyalty resonates throughout the corporate world. There
                      Physician/Owner     are systemic links between employee loyalty and organizational performance. At
                        Skin Spectrum     Southern Arizona Community Bank, employee loyalty deserves a place on the
                                          balance sheet, right next to other key assets.
                    Michael J. Devine
                      Attorney at Law     Building loyalty is not an easy task, but one we focus on every day. The
                                          pendulum of employer-employee loyalty has swung from one extreme to the other in
                    Robert A. Elliott     the past 50 years. What constitutes the key responsibilities of a loyal
                    President & Owner     employer? Collecting employee feedback. Assessing and rewarding performance, and
         The Elliott Accounting Group     offering the right jobs to the right people. Giving employees a stake in the
                                          business.
                     Brian K. English
                      General Counsel     Employees must take charge of their own careers, but a good company will offer
              Capitol Bancorp Limited     the tools to succeed. It is the employee's responsibility to pick up those tools
                                          and use them effectively. Take training seriously. Responsible employees
                    Michael W. Franks     understand that promotions are not gifts -- they are corporate acknowledgement
                            Principal     for the job done well. In the best of worlds, strong performance and loyalty are
             Seaver Franks Architects     connected and reinforced through a web of recognition and reward.

                    Michael L. Kasten     Although loyalty's impact on the financial statement of a company is difficult
                     Managing Partner     to measure, at Southern Arizona Community Bank, loyalty is the driving force of
              Kasten Investments, LLC     our continued success. Seeing the same faces in our bank on a day-to-day basis
                                          promotes a sense of security in our customers. Employee loyalty evolves into
                        Yoram S. Levy     customer loyalty.
                            President
         Yoram Levy Development, Inc.     Employee loyalty is the crowning achievement in any business. At Southern
                                          Arizona Community Bank employee and customer loyalty are priceless.

                Kevin S. Alfaro     Good stewardship makes its own rewards. The opportunity to demonstrate our
                        Partner     commitment to the community that gives us our name, and our livelihood,
    G & J Seiberlich & Co., LLP     sometimes arises out of misfortune. Sometimes it involves an act of superior
                                    customer service. Sometimes both.
           Geni A. Bennetts, MD
             Medical Consulting     A new commercial real estate loan was scheduled to be completed in mid-December,
                                    2002. The borrower, a prominent architect in California, has devoted the last 2
           Charles H. Dickenson     years to renovating a 2-story retail-office building in historic downtown Napa.
   Dickenson, Peatman & Fogarty     The building is home to a popular restaurant and several retailers on its ground
                                    floor, with several other businesses on the 2nd floor.
                William H. Dodd
General Manager, Culligan Water     During the preceding 5 days, Northern California had been deluged with rain, and
         Napa County Supervisor     area lakes, rivers, and streams were at maximum capacity. The Napa River was
                                    nearing flood stage in its course through downtown Napa. At 3 a.m. on the day
                Jeffrey L. Epps     before our loan transaction, a tributary that flows from the valley's western
                      President     hills to the Napa River unexpectedly overflowed its banks and flooded several
                 Epps Chevrolet     blocks in downtown Napa. Our borrower's property was among the first to be hit
                                    with floodwater, and roads began to close in the area. Later that day,
                Douglas W. Hill     floodwaters subsided and clean up began. Our borrower was among the first on the
               Vineyard Manager     scene with crews and equipment to help ground level tenants clean up their shops
         Jaeger Vineyards, Inc.     in order to hasten the resumption of business.

               Andrew L. Hoxsey     We were able to make contact with the borrower to determine whether he still
               Managing Partner     planned to sign loan documents as planned. Upon learning of his harrowing
              Napa Wine Company     experience with the flood, we agreed to amend his loan to provide additional
                                    funds in support of clean up and repair expenses. Flood insurance eventually
             Carlee S. Leftwich     covered most expenses, but the borrower was astonished to hear of such an offer.
                   Former Mayor     He was particularly surprised that we were able to amend our loan and keep the
         Yountville, California     scheduled appointment to sign loan documents.

             Harold D. Morrison     The borrower expressed appreciation for our responsiveness and took steps to
                      President     notify his tenants of the Bank's proactive service and support. As a result of
      Bridgeford Flying Service     our service, we have become his primary bank and doors opened to establishing
                                    bank relationships with his tenants. Helping not only our customers, but also
         Betty L. O'Shaughnessy     the greater community, get back to business with a minimum of lost revenue is
                          Owner     good for Napa and that is good for Napa Community Bank.

Paragon Bank & Trust is proud of its community commitment. A part of the Bank's      Dr. Robert J. Bates
involvement in our community's success comes in the form of lending decisions        Physician
that fulfill the intent of such governmental initiatives as the Community            Western Michigan Urological Assoc. P.C.
Reinvestment Act. It is our people, however, who carry that commitment outside
of the Bank's doors, outside of business hours and into the community, one           Charles A. Brower
project at a time. During 2002, Paragon Bank & Trust's staff committed many          CPA/Partner
hours of time and energy when:                                                       DeLong & Brower, P.C.

The Bank as a whole split into four "work groups" to work on local projects. One     Scott Diepenhorst
of our work groups constructed a retaining wall and installed siding on a house      Principal
for Habitat for Humanity. Representatives from our local United Way featured a       SD & Associates, Inc.
photo of the group in their annual publication. A second group took on the task
of doing odd jobs at the Community Action House. A third group labored at the        Paul Elzinga
Holland Rescue Mission and a fourth group of employees put on their painter's        Co-Chairman & Director of Business Development
caps and assisted Wildlife Unlimited in sprucing up their facilities. Not only       Elzinga & Volkers, Inc.
did these activities benefit the community, but we also gained a positive
feeling from helping others in need.                                                 John D. Groothuis

We have acted as a community sponsor in a local "adopt-a-park" project. We           Grand Haven Bank
"adopted" a local skate park, which is very close to our new location in

We are a community partner with Camp CEO, an alliance of public and private          Marilyn D. Cummings
organizations that sponsors and runs a one-week summer camp for young women ages     Realtor
13-17. The Camp introduces them to the possibilities of becoming business owners     Russ Lyon Realty Company
or executive professionals through a series of talks and group activities,
including a Ropes course and a Business-in-a-Box project. All counselors and         Michael J. Devine
presenters at the camp are female business owners and executives who interact        Attorney at Law
with and mentor the young women throughout the week. I plan to represent Valley
First by chairing the sponsorship committee and serving as a camp counselor          Judith R. Egan
during the 2003 camp.                                                                President

In December 2002, a group of Valley First employees orchestrated a support
campaign for the Chrysalis Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence, a local         William R. Fitzpatrick
organization that provides safe housing, counseling and domestic support for         CPA
victims of domestic violence. Our team obtained a wish list from Chrysalis and       Hein & Associates, LLP
then developed a holiday campaign that involved a lobby display and a direct
solicitation of employees, directors and customers. By the end of the 3-week         Steven M. Goldstein
campaign, we had filled to overflowing an entire section of our lobby with           Attorney at Law

Chrysalis. In 2003, our employees plan to conduct at least two more similar          Dr. Ross Halliday
campaigns for Chrysalis.                                                             General Orthopedics

                                                                              27


                                        
                    BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                   YUMA COMMUNITY BANK

                          Bruce I. Ash     Yuma Community Bank has built on its motto of "Putting Yuma First," not only by
                        Vice President     continuing to focus on exceptional customer service, but also by giving the
              Paul Ash Management, LLC     staff the opportunity to live that motto every day.

                Steven M. Binkley, Jr.     Yuma Dentist Craig Barrows was pleasantly surprised by his experience with Yuma
                   SW Division Manager     Community Bank's new chief credit officer. "I called and Keith's response was,
        Arizona Public Service Company     `What can we do for you? When is a good time for me to come to your office?'
                                           I've had other banks tell me to come in and fill out the paperwork. This bank
                  Katherine M. Brandon     was able to deliver what I needed a lot faster than what I was expecting.
                             President     Customer service is going away all over the country. I know how important it is,
                   Yuma Community Bank     and so does Yuma Community Bank. They just do everything for you."

                     Raymond R. Corona     Jane Kiley, who owns Hunter Employment Services with her husband, Tom, said they
             Optometrist and President     have found Yuma Community Bank to be very responsive. "When we have had
                        Corona Optique     processes we needed to do differently, they were able to accommodate us
                                           cheerfully - we were able to use the Internet very effectively" she said. "The
                           Juli Jessen     staff at the bank has a can-do attitude. You tell them your needs and they find
                              Director     a way to do it."
                         Gowan Company
                                           In addition to "Putting Yuma First" in the Bank, our employees have taken their
                        Ram R. Krishna     commitment to the community beyond the Bank. By joining organizations like the
              Ram R. Krishna, MD, P.C.     board of the Yuma Community Food Bank, they are able to use their contacts to
                                           connect with farmers and get their products donated to the Yuma Food Bank.
                      John T. Osterman
                                 Owner     Yuma Community Bank's pledge to put Yuma first is the essence of a solid
              Osterman Financial Group     commitment to serve the community.

                     Robert C. Carr     Customers -- staff -- shareholders -- community. When each supports the other,
           Executive Vice President     respect, reliability, and fidelity create trust and confidence.
            Capitol Bancorp Limited
                                        `Take care of the customers and the numbers will take care of themselves' has
                  Richard G. Dorner     been the basis of our decision-making. When this is the emphasis, staff,
                    President & CEO     shareholders and the community all benefit. Since our inception in 1990, we have
            Ann Arbor Commerce Bank     experienced a variety of economic conditions. `Taking care of the customer'
                                        cannot be a generic phrase -- the individual and the situation must define it.
                     James A. Fajen     During the 13 years since we opened our doors, we have prospered by learning
                    Attorney at Law     what options to offer during various economic climates. The most recent trend in
           Fajen & Miller, P.L.L.C.     the economy has benefited the borrower. The Federal Reserve System's pattern of
                                        lowering interest rates has been beneficial to the business community.
                      James W. Finn     Start-ups, spin-offs and expansions flourish during periods of low interest
                     Chairman & CEO     rates. Certainly, individuals have enjoyed the low mortgage rates. Refinancing
 Finn's-JM&J Insurance Agency, Inc.     and investing in home remodeling or a house upgrade have balanced the consumer's
                                        lack of gains in other markets.
                 H. Nicholas Genova
                     Chairman & CEO     But what about those who save? Current lower interest rate trends have not
            Washtenaw News Co. Inc.     provided a benefit to them. This comes at the time when the largest segment of
            H.N. Genova Development     consumers, the `Boomers', has experienced a diminished need to borrow with a
                                        greater emphasis on saving and investing. We wanted to create a benefit for
                  Richard M. Greene     those consumers. To that end we offered a CD Upgrade Voucher Promotion in
                          President     February 2002, anticipating CD rates would increase within the next few months.
                     Point Training     As that was not the case, we decided to extend the offer and provide options
                                        that will benefit the customer and are fair to the Bank. We have been able to
                Marilyn D. Katz-Pek     realize our full potential by applying fairness to all involved. We have a loyal
           General Managing Partner     customer base because we always seek to do the right thing.

As we organized Arrowhead Community Bank, the staff and founding board members       Shelley L. Bade
developed new relationships within the local business community: trades people,      RPA, President
community leaders, prospective investors and local media. We learned that these      Bade Commercial Services, Inc.
people were excited about the prospect of a bank focusing on building
relationships. From "Day One", we shared the concept of a true community bank;       David Brnilovich
developing relationships based on honesty and trust; and establishing a              Jennings, Strouss & Salmon, P.L.C.
reputation for business integrity.

Integrity is our standard. Board members and staff instinctively act with            CPA
integrity in all aspects of business. In selecting key personnel, we look for        Daggett & Daggett, LLP
that same kind of values match. Integrity within our organization is assumed --
it is the standard, not the exception.                                               Michael J. Devine

We, at Arrowhead, have a "golden rule" to do what we say we are going to do,
when we say we are going to do it. It is our practice to fully disclose all          Richard J. Hilde
costs related to doing business with Arrowhead at our first meeting with a           Owner & CEO
prospective client. This practice, at times, initially results in the loss of        EPW, Inc.
business to the competitors who appear to offer lower pricing. However, many
times, these prospects return to our Bank once our competitors fully disclose        Michael L. Kasten
their pricing and fees. The Bank's straight-forward approach during the initial      Managing Partner
meeting transforms prospects into clients. We firmly believe if we are               Kasten Investments, LLC
forthright and act with integrity, we save the client time and money, which
gains and preserves valuable relationships.                                          Arlene Kulzer

A recent residential real estate loan applicant would agree. She was concerned       Arrowhead Community Bank
about the fees and time involved in the refinance of her home. Rather than
attempt to persuade her to refinance with us, we suggested she speak with her        Dennis E. Landauer, CPA
current mortgage company about a streamline refinance. She did, was very pleased     American Express Tax
with our guidance and has since referred several clients to the Bank.                & Business Services

While the American media is full of examples of questionable business practices,     Dr. Elaine P. Maimon, CEO
we are encouraged by the response to our philosophy "integrity goes hand in hand     Arizona State University West
with good business".

                   Ralph J. Burrell     Acts of kindness and commitment to the community are a standard of behavior we
                          President     practice each and every day at Detroit Commerce Bank. Our customers learn to
                             SymCon     expect a high level of integrity from us. We earn their trust. All of our
                                        customers, from high profile professionals to those with modest bank activity,
                     Robert C. Carr     know we will always do what we can, morally and ethically, to protect their good
           Executive Vice President     name and financial reputation. Offering valued customers the benefits of on-line
            Capitol Bancorp Limited     banking increases confidentiality and benefits both the bank, in goodwill, and
                                        the customers, in increased accessibility. The customers who benefit from such
                Vivian L. Carpenter     an act of consideration tells friends how well the bankers at Detroit Commerce

                                        In some cases we generate additional business for the bank simply by
               Donald M. Davis, Jr.     exemplifying honorable behavior. When one of our customers was ill, we were
                     Vice President     asked to provide some financial oversight to ensure that his money was safe from
               Health Alliance Plan     unauthorized transactions until he was well enough to resume responsibility for
                                        his own finances. Later, that same customer found himself in need of greater
                 Barbara B. Gattorn     fiduciary assistance than we, as his bank, were prepared to provide. We did,
    Senior Advisor to the President     however, assist him with securing a guardian appointed by the probate court,
           Detroit Regional Chamber     thus saving his retirement funds. The guardian was so impressed with the
                                        honorable handling this man's finances received from Detroit Commerce Bank, the
                     John R. Hirzel     guardian became a customer who now brings his probate accounts to us on a
                                CPA     regular basis.

                                        Civic agencies and governmental units have to be particularly prudent in

                          President     Bank considers it a significant endorsement that city leaders and governmental

Taking the time to notice that a customer's behavior is out of the ordinary and      Mark R. Allen
strained, is good service. Having a relationship that makes that customer feel       President & Attorney
comfortable enough to confide in you is just the way we do business at East          Mark R. Allen, P.C.
Valley Community Bank. When a charter client asked to view the endorsement on a
cashier's check she had sent through our Bank, an East Valley teammate inquired      Blake L. Bottle
further into her request.                                                            Partner

In our training as banking professionals, we have all learned that intelligent
people with good common sense are favorite targets of con artists. Those             Michael J. Devine
criminals are very practiced and have a ready answer for every objection a           Attorney at Law
person is likely to make to their schemes. We believe it is our professional
responsibility to help our customers identify situations that could put their        Richard D. Frazier
assets at risk.                                                                      Executive Director

At East Valley Community Bank we accomplish this by knowing our customers well.
Because of her prior experiences with the East Valley team and our relationships     David L. Heuermann
with her, she was receptive to inquiries about her transaction.                      President
                                                                                     Axis Mortgage & Investments, LLC
The customer believed she had won the Canadian Lottery. To claim her $250,000
prize, she was told she would need to send the taxes due in the form of a            Michael L. Kasten
cashier's check made payable to her husband. The cashier's check was to be held      Managing Partner
and returned to her when she received her lottery winnings. She waited four long     Kasten Investments, LLC
weeks for the armored car to deliver her winnings, speaking often with
fictitious Canadian lottery officials who assured her that customs was holding       Don B. Lindner
up her delivery, and that she must have patience to reap this great reward.          Senior Consultant
Meanwhile, she learned that the check had cleared the Bank.                          Charon ECA

By the time she asked East Valley Community Bank to view the endorsement, our        Darra L. Rayndon
client was certain that she had lost $10,000, with no hope of recovery. The bank     Principal & President
operations officer intervened with good news. The endorsement on the cashier's       Rayndon & Longfellow, PC
check was obviously a forgery, and instead of a few days, as she had been lead
to believe, our client had plenty of time to dispute the transaction. Happily,       Gerry J. Smith
her $10,000 has been returned to her.                                                President

                BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                  GOSHEN COMMUNITY BANK

                    Robert C. Carr     Goshen Community Bank was formed with four main goals -- provide the best
          Executive Vice President     service of any Bank in Goshen, provide assistance to the community, establish a
           Capitol Bancorp Limited     great place for employees to work, and provide an excellent return to
                                       shareholders. Bank employees have opportunities to go above and beyond to assist
                    David L. Cripe     members of our community.
Doctor of Optometry/Senior Partner
             Drs. Cripe & Stephens     In October 2002 two customers entered Goshen Community Bank and requested a
                                       $7,000 advance on their joint credit card. While this activity seems harmless
                 Carol M. Ebersole     enough, it was when the couple returned and told the customer service
          VP Corporate Development     representative they needed additional funds that the employees of Goshen
              Goshen Health System     Community Bank exhibited integrity and an exceptional standard of behavior.
                                       While in conversation to complete the transaction, employees discovered that the
                 Stephen L. Fidler     couple had received a letter offering the chance to win $500,000 if they sent
                         President     money to Israel. The couple attempted to send the money to Israel but did not
              Kuert Concrete, Inc.     have funds sufficient to cover the wire transfer transaction, so they returned
                                       to the Bank.
              Christopher J. Graff
              President & Chairman     Employees asked the couple if a Bank employee could contact the police to
                      Marque, Inc.     confirm their suspicions about the request. Ultimately, the police and Goshen
                                       Community Bank employees convinced the couple that the situation was a scam. The
            Richard A. Hetler, Jr.     customers then stated they had already wired $6,000 and were very thankful they
  Vice President & General Manager     did not send another $7,000. They were very complimentary to everyone involved.
       Indiana Wood Products, Inc.     Their relationship with Goshen Community Bank saved them from being defrauded
                                       further. Goshen police commended Bank staff for intervening in the situation and
             Gregory A. Hoogenboom     providing personal financial safety to these citizens.
                         President
          Hoogenboom Masonry, Inc.     In this one customer encounter, Goshen Community Bank accomplished all four of
                                       its goals. Most important of all, Goshen Community Bank acted with the highest
               Douglas A. Johnston     degree of integrity and made a lasting impact on our customers' lives.

                    Bruce I. Ash     This year marks the 100th anniversary of flight when the Wright brothers changed
                  Vice President     the world of transportation. Their example of maximizing potential is a great
        Paul Ash Management, LLC     one. They succeeded where others failed by commitment to their goal. They
                                     focused on refining the details related to the balance and control required to
            Slivy Edmonds Cotton     launch a successful flight. Their goal was to fly an airplane, but their focus
                  Chairman & CEO     was on the many steps required to get there.
                  Perpetua, Inc.
                                     The Bank of Tucson has not been around for 100 years, but it looks to the
               Michael J. Devine     example set by the Wrights as a lesson for success. Bank of Tucson focuses on
                 Attorney at Law     the details. Like the Wrights, Bank of Tucson identifies the steps necessary to
                                     achieve success. Our goal is to be the bank of choice for the Tucson community.
                Brian K. English
                 General Counsel     Bank of Tucson will celebrate its 7th anniversary this year. Each year we have
         Capitol Bancorp Limited     endeavored to take full advantage of the potential and opportunity that we face
                                     as a company and as individuals. We enjoy our affiliation with the other
                Richard N. Flynn     financial institutions in the Capitol Bancorp family because it helps us to
                       President     maximize our potential. We are able to focus on the details of servicing our
              Flynn & Associates     customers and developing our unique bank, while relying on the support from
                                     Capitol. We are also able to serve a greater range of customers in the Tucson
              Michael F. Hannley     community through our relationship with our affiliated banks.
                 President & CEO
                  Bank of Tucson     As the first Capitol affiliate in the Western regions, we liken ourselves to the
                                     Wright brothers. We are the Bank that completed the inaugural flight. Our
               Michael J. Harris     commitment to success is both an example for our affiliates, and a continued
                Associate Broker     challenge for our company and our employees.

                   BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                  MUSKEGON COMMERCE BANK

                   Dr. Rick E. Amidon     I've been asked many times by people outside of our organization, "What makes
                            President     your bank successful compared to your competition in Muskegon?" Muskegon
            Baker College of Muskegon     Commerce Bank's success can be partially attributed to many factors including:
                                          timing, luck, excellent employees and a dedicated Board of Directors. Still, the
                     Philip J. Andrie     primary reason that we've grown profitably has been our ability to Maximize our
                            President     Potential.
                         Andrie, Inc.
                                          While all of the Capitol Bancorp banks share similar core values, it is up to
                    William C. Cooper     each individual bank's management team to develop its own niche and to exploit
                            President     it to the bank's full advantage. I was often reminded during our organizational
                    Omni Fitness Club     period that the bank would not come with a playbook, and that all of Capitol's
                                          banks are successful for different reasons. What works in another community
                 Thomas F. DeVoursney     might not necessarily work in Muskegon and vice versa. Our challenge would be to
                            President     assess the market and to develop a strategy to showcase our strengths.
                    Shape Corporation
                                          When we opened our bank in late 1997, it had been over 100 years since a bank
                        Edgar W. Hunt     had been chartered in Muskegon. That, combined with the fact that we initially
                            President     had only six employees and only one location, made customers understandably
        United Way of Muskegon County     skeptical. We overcame the limitations of a single location by utilizing our
                                          courier service to greatly expand our service area. Although this practice had
                 Christopher L. Kelly     been widely used by the existing Capitol Bancorp banks, it was a new and welcome
                      Attorney at Law     service in Muskegon. Our courier now serves approximately 75 business customers
                    Parmenter O'Toole     within a 15 mile radius of the Bank that would likely not be customers without
                                          the service. We were also able to convince our customers that being small was an
                     Daniel J. Kuznar     advantage since the customers and staff could easily get acquainted and that all
                                Owner     decisions would be made by the six employees on site.
Quality Tool & Stamping Company, Inc.
                                          The most notable area in which we have maximized our potential is residential
                      Donald Martines     mortgage lending. While we're not among the top ten affiliate banks in terms of
                            President     asset size, we are consistently among the top two or three residential mortgage
 West Michigan Grinding & Machine Co.     producers. Muskegon Commerce Bank has been able to develop strong relationships
                          Ace Tooling     with homeowners, realtors, builders and developers in Muskegon that should pay
                                          dividends for years to come.

By helping an employee realize a personal community service goal, Red Rock           Eric L. Colvin
Community Bank has made steps toward maximizing its potential as well. In August     Secretary/Treasurer
of 2002, Red Rock Community Bank joined with several other sponsors of a             Marnell Corrao Assoc., Inc.
nonprofit Hospice fundraiser to benefit terminally ill children and their
families.                                                                            Michael J. Devine
                                                                                     Attorney at Law
A Red Rock employee who has taken an active interest in the local Hospice
organization, and sits on the sponsoring Golden Monarch Council, brought this        Molly K. Hamrick
opportunity to the Bank. Our employee became interested in Nathan Adelson            Vice President & CFO
Hospice while serving as a United Way campaign representative. The group was         Coldwell Banker Premier Realty
given a tour after one of the leadership meetings was held at the Hospice
facility. After that one tour, our employee knew in her heart that it was a goal     Philip G. Hardy, Jr.
of hers to become a volunteer and to make a difference in the community.             Vice President & Project Manager
                                                                                     Hardy Painting & Drywall
She has recently reduced her role to a part-time basis at the Bank in order to
work in an expanded capacity as a hospice volunteer. Volunteering in this            James A. Harris
capacity required training classes that were held on Saturdays as well as an         Vice President
in-house job-shadowing program so that she could be effective with her patients      Brown and Brown Insurance
and families at this very difficult stage of life.
                                                                                     Keith W. Langlands
Preparations are already in motion for this year's annual event and our employee     Partner & CPA
is actively soliciting sponsorships throughout the community for the function.       Langlands and Anaya Limited
She continues to have interaction with several bank clients who have had
exposure to, or experience with, this same organization. Several banking             Charles L. Lasky
relationships have been strengthened and maintained due to her personal interest     President
in her clients and their mutual experiences involving hospice care.                  Lasky, Fifarek &  Hogan, P.C.

                                   the core values of our bank development partner, Capitol Bancorp. Utilizing the
             Craig V. Castanos     talent and ability of our local team of professionals, while leveraging the
                     CPA/Owner     support of our partner, we share a vision embodied in the core value of
        Craig V. Castanos, CPA     maximizing potential as a company and as individuals.

            Randall S. Cundiff     Maximizing potential starts with promoting a culture where excellence is the
                     President     standard and everyone has the opportunity to grow -- both personally and
     Sunrise Bank of San Diego     professionally. In our effort to continually exceed client expectations,
                                   attracting and retaining individuals of the highest caliber is paramount. The
            William D. Hinz II     essence of this core value has helped us attain recognition as the 2002 #1
                           CEO     Community Bank SBA 504 Lender for San Diego County. The Small Business
       Sunrise Bank of Arizona     Administration honored Sunrise Bank as the number two overall bank lender in San
                                   Diego County, out of 25 lenders who participated in the small business loan
                 John S. Lewis     program. Our 14 varsity players outperformed expectations. The synergy of our
     President-Western Regions     efforts helped us close 15 SBA 504 loan transactions totaling over $18 million
       Capitol Bancorp Limited     in loan volume for the year.

            Toby T. Macfarlane     Through our network of secondary market funding sources and participations from
         Senior Vice President     our family of sister banks, we are meeting the financing needs of clients that
          United Title Company     would traditionally be out of the lending scope for a bank of our size. In
                                   September 2002, through the use of the SBA 504 loan program and participating
           Robert J. Matkovich     lenders, Sunrise Bank structured a financing package for a small business owner
Robert J. Matkovich, DDS, Inc.     to purchase a commercial property. The total project, which exceeded $3.5
                                   million, is an example of our ability to maximize alternative financing sources
                John F. McColl     for the benefit of our clients. The knowledge, expertise, and experience of our
               Owner/Treasurer     team combine to represent the potential of our organization. Attitude, drive,
         Trinity Housing Group     and dedication maximize return on our abilities.
