TRUST-PREFERRED SECURITIES TRUSTEE Bank One Investment Management Group - Chicago, Illinois 4 RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Capitol's management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and all other information appearing in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices of the financial institution industry in the United States of America. Capitol's management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining the internal control structure of Capitol, its banks and its bank development affiliates. The general objectives of the internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are completed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In fulfilling this objective, management has various control procedures in place which include review and approval of transactions, a code of ethical conduct for employees, internal auditing and an annual audit of Capitol's consolidated financial statements performed by a qualified independent audit firm. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Some of the statements contained in this annual report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Those forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual future results, performance or achievements of Capitol and/or its subsidiaries and other operating units to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements. The words "intend", "expect", "project", "estimate", "predict", "anticipate", "should", "will", "may", "believe", and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Important factors which may cause actual results to differ from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) the results of Capitol's efforts to implement its business strategy, (ii) changes in interest rates, (iii) legislation or regulatory requirements adversely impacting Capitol's banking business and/or expansion strategy, (iv) adverse changes in business conditions or inflation, (v) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, which are less favorable than expected and that result in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and/or loan performance and collectability, (vi) competitive pressures among financial institutions, (vii) changes in securities markets, (viii) actions of competitors of Capitol's banks and Capitol's ability to respond to such actions, (ix) the cost of capital, which may depend in part on Capitol's asset quality, prospects and outlook, (x) changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters, (xi) changes in management, and (xii) other risks detailed in Capitol's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to Capitol or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing factors. Investors and other interested parties are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak as of the date of such statements. Capitol undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 5 MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS Capitol Bancorp's management is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. We, as executive management of Capitol Bancorp, are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The systems of internal controls over financial reporting as they relate to the financial statements contain self-monitoring mechanisms, and compliance is tested and evaluated through a program of internal audits and other checks and test procedures. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies when identified. Any system of internal controls, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that controls can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, any effective system of internal controls will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Capitol's Audit Committee, consisting entirely of outside directors, meets regularly with management, internal auditors and Capitol's independent auditors, and reviews audit plans and results, as well as management's actions taken in discharging responsibilities for accounting, financial reporting, and internal controls. BDO Seidman, LLP, independent auditors, and our internal auditors have direct and confidential access to Capitol's Audit Committee at all times to discuss the results of their examinations. Management assessed the Corporation's system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2002. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2002, its systems of internal controls over financial reporting were adequate to meet those stated objectives of internal controls over financial reporting. /s/ Joseph D.

Hendrickson Chairman and CEO Chief Financial Officer January 31, 2003 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Most of this section discusses items of importance regarding Capitol's financial statements which appear elsewhere in this report. In order to obtain a full understanding of this discussion, it is important to read it with those financial statements. However, before discussing the financial statements and related highlights, an introductory section includes some important background information about the business of Capitol and its banks, Capitol's structure and recent developments. THE BUSINESS OF CAPITOL AND ITS BANKS Capitol defines itself as a BANK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. In the highly regulated business of banking, it is viewed by governmental agencies as a "bank holding company". Capitol views bank DEVELOPMENT as a much more dynamic activity than the seemingly passive regulatory label for bank HOLDING companies. Bank development at Capitol is the business of mentoring, monitoring and managing its investments in community banks. Bank development is also the activity of adding new banks through start-up, or DE NOVO, formation or through other affiliation efforts, such as exploring acquisitions of existing banks. Capitol's banks have similar characteristics: * Each bank has an on-site president and management team, as local decision makers. * Each bank has a local board of directors which has actual authority over the bank. * Each bank predominately operates from a single office location. * Each bank can fully meet customers' needs anywhere, anytime through bankers-on-call, courier services, Internet and telephone banking and other delivery methods. * Each bank has access to an efficient back-room processing facility and leading-edge technology through shared financial and operating resources. Capitol's banks seek the profitable customer relationships which are often displaced through mergers, mass marketing and megabanks. Capitol's banks are focused on commercial banking activities, emphasizing business customers, although they also offer a complete array of financial products and services. Each bank has a separate charter. A bank charter is similar to articles of incorporation and enables each bank to exist as a distinct legal entity. Most of these banks are state-chartered, which means they are organized under a particular state's banking laws. All of the banks are FDIC-insured. Banks are highly regulated by state and federal agencies. Because each bank has its own charter, each bank is examined by both state and federal agencies as a separate and distinct legal entity for safety, soundness and compliance with banking laws and regulations. At December 31, 2002, Capitol consisted of 29 community banks, operating in 8 states. 7 Capitol's bank development philosophy is one of "SHARED VISION", which encompasses a commitment to community banking emphasizing local leadership and investment, with the shared resources of efficient management. Capitol provides these shared resources to its banks, including common data processing systems, centralized item processing, loan review, internal audit, credit administration, accounting, legal and risk management. CAPITOL'S STRUCTURE Capitol's structure is unique. Based on management's recent research, Capitol is the second largest banking company in the United States, based on the number of bank charters within its consolidated group. Of Capitol's twenty-nine banks, most are directly owned by Capitol, and most of them are wholly-owned, as of December 31, 2002. At the beginning of 2002, Capitol's structure was much more complex. At that time it had several second and third-tier subsidiary bank-development subsidiaries (majority-owned by Capitol or by an affiliate) which, in turn, had majority-owned bank subsidiaries. This complex structure was the result of Capitol's significant bank-development expansion activities in the years of 1998-2001, which involved the formation of partially-owned bank-development subsidiaries to form majority-owned DE NOVO banks. That complex structure made it difficult to understand the component parts of Capitol and how the multiple ownership tiers impacted consolidated operating results. In response to that perceived difficulty and improved performance of its maturing banks, Capitol's management embarked on a significant initiative in 2002 to simplify its structure by 'consolidating' the minority ownership of its largest second and third-tier bank-development subsidiaries: * Sun Community Bancorp Limited ...COMPLETED MARCH 31, 2002 * Sunrise Capital Corporation ...COMPLETED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 * Indiana Community Bancorp Limited ...COMPLETED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 * Nevada Community Bancorp Limited ...COMPLETED JANUARY 17, 2003 Each of these 'consolidations' involved Capitol issuing shares of its common stock (previously unissued) in exchange for the minority interests of those bank-development subsidiaries held by shareholders other than Capitol. Because the Nevada share exchange was substantially complete at year end 2002, and awaiting only the vote of its shareholders on January 17, 2003 (at which time it was overwhelmingly approved, without any dissenting votes), it has been reflected in Capitol's consolidated balance sheet as if it occurred on December 31, 2002. With those bank-development subsidiaries becoming wholly-owned by Capitol, they have subsequently been merged into Capitol and, accordingly, their direct bank subsidiaries are now direct bank subsidiaries of Capitol. The largest of these 'consolidation' transactions was the one involving Sun Community Bancorp. Sun was formed by Capitol in 1997 and became a public company in 1998, majority-owned by Capitol. Sun was the bank-development company focused on Capitol's expansion in the Southwestern Region of the United States. Upon completion of the 2002 share-consolidation with Capitol, Sun's executive offices became Capitol's Western Regions' headquarters. 8 At year-end 2002, Capitol has one additional bank-development subsidiary which is not discussed above. It is First California Northern Bancorp (majority-owned by Capitol), which commenced operations in early 2002 and has one majority-owned bank subsidiary. This bank-development company and its current subsidiary are in their early stages of operation. All of the banks and subsidiary bank-development companies are combined, or consolidated, for financial reporting purposes because Capitol has ownership control of them either directly or indirectly. Current accounting rules require consolidated reporting when one entity has majority voting control of another. The reporting entity is the parent organization and entities which are majority-owned by the parent are subsidiaries. In the circumstances of Capitol, this parent and subsidiary relationship applies also to second and third tier subsidiaries which have consolidated subsidiaries of their own. The accounting rules in this area inhibit an understanding of the consolidated financial statements. For example, consolidated balance sheets include all of the combined entities' assets and liabilities. On the other hand, the consolidated income statement includes all of the combined entities, but includes net income only to the extent of the parent's ownership percentage. Because of the number of banks and bank development companies added in recent periods, comparing financial results for those and prior periods is difficult. In 2002, two new banks were added. In 2001, one new bank was added. In 2000, a total of five new banks were added to the consolidated group. In 1999, four new banks were added. In 1998, there were six new banks added to the group. BANKING TECHNOLOGY AT CAPITOL The use of high technology banking systems is key to the delivery of accurate and timely customer service. Capitol currently operates two data processing sites, located in Lansing, Michigan and Tempe, Arizona. The Lansing site handles item processing for the banks located in the Great Lakes Region, while the Tempe data center processes all activity for the banks located in the Western Regions. Both sites use mainframe computers and software which are nearly identical. While physically separate, both sites function under common management. 9 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Capitol's most significant accounting policies are described in Note B of the consolidated financial statements, beginning on page 33. Within those significant polices are some which are particularly critical or crucial to a reader's understanding of Capitol's financial position and results of operations. Management believes Capitol's CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES to be the following: * USE OF ESTIMATES--Some very significant items (allowances for loan losses, tax accruals and determinations of fair values or impairment, for example) can have a pervasive impact on the reported financial position and results of operations. * CREDIT RISK AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES--Again, because of the inherent subjectivity in estimating losses, actual variances from estimates or subsequent changes to estimates can be significant. In addition, many of Capitol's banks are quite young and do not have seasoned loan portfolios or significant past loss experience upon which to base current estimates of losses inherent in the loan portfolio at a particular balance-sheet date. Despite regulatory guidance and other standard-setting encouragement to reduce such loss estimation techniques to a mathematical formula, the fact remains that loss estimates require significant judgment on the part of management and cannot be reduced to be a succinct standard or actuarial formula in the context of Capitol's banks. * ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES--Because of the level of taxation imposed upon corporate entities, including banks, at the federal level (up to 35%, currently), measurement of income tax expense and related liabilities and deferred tax assets have a material effect on Capitol's financial statements. Further, some states in which Capitol's banks are domiciled have income tax rates which exceed 10%. * ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL--A new accounting standard was issued in 2002, which changed the way companies account for goodwill. Capitol has goodwill on its balance sheet, which represents the 'premium' it has paid in conjunction with acquisition of minority interests in some of its subsidiaries and some other prior acquisitions. In the circumstances of Capitol, the new standard requires that goodwill will no longer be amortized. Instead, goodwill will be reviewed at least annually by management for impairment and impairment losses, if any, will be charged against operations when known. 10 CHANGES IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION Total assets have grown significantly to $2.4 billion at year-end 2002 from $1 billion at the end of 1998. This sustained pace of asset growth is the result of adding new banks and the ongoing growth and evolution of Capitol's more mature banks. [GRAPH] TOTAL ASSETS ($ millions) 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 1,024 1,306 1,630 2,044 2,409 At year-end 2002, total combined assets of the three banks formed within the last two years approximated $113 million ($38 million at December 31, 2001). Banks formed in 2000 reported total assets of $234 million at the end of 2002, an increase of $61 million during the year. Total assets of the four banks which became three years old in 2002 grew 12% during the past year to $243 million. The six banks formed in 1998 continued strong asset growth of 21% in 2002, achieving total assets of $410 million. The most mature group of banks, those formed before 1998, reported total assets of $1.4 billion at year-end 2002, an increase of about 9% for the year.

The majority of commercial loans are secured by real estate. Commercial loans approximated $1.8 billion or about 89.8% of total portfolio loans at year-end 2002, a slight increase from 88.5% at the end of 2001. Loan growth in 2002 was $257 million, or a growth rate of 14.8%--somewhat less than the growth rate experienced in preceding years due, in part, to softer economic conditions. The banks maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb estimated losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2002, the allowance for loan losses approximated $29 million or 1.45% of portfolio loans, compared to $23.2 million or 1.34% at the end of 2001. The allowance ratio was increased in 2002 in response to higher levels of nonperforming loans and potential problem loans.

Most of these are a small number of loans in various stages of resolution which management believes to be adequately collateralized or otherwise appropriately considered in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. 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 classifications. At inception, all loans are individually assigned a classification which grade 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 borrowers' business climate, local economic conditions and other subjective factors. The loan classification 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 identified for monitoring because of specific performance issues or other risk factors requiring closer management and development of specific remedial action plans. At December 31, 2002, potential problem loans (including nonperforming loans) approximated $98.5 million or about 5% of total consolidated portfolio loans. Such totals typically approximate 4% to 5% of loans outstanding as an important part of management's ongoing and augmented loan review activities which are designed to early-identify loans which warrant close monitoring at the bank and corporate credit-administration levels. It is important to note that these potential problem loans do not necessarily have significant loss exposure (nor are they necessarily deemed `impaired'), but rather are identified by management in this manner to aid in loan administration and risk management. Management believes these 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. Loan loss experience through December 31, 2002 remained below industry statistics, although nonperforming and other potential problem loans have increased. Loan charge-offs in 2002 at Capitol increased significantly, from approximately $3 million in 2001 and 2000 to $7.7 million. Management's assessment of loans as of December 31, 2002 suggests future loss experience will return to levels more closely approximating past experience. 14 How financial institutions establish their allowance for loan losses is an important and critical accounting policy and process. 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. It is analyzed quarterly by each bank. The adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio (including volume, amount and composition, potential impairment of individual loans and concentration of credit), past loss experience, current economic conditions, loan commitments outstanding, regulatory requirements and other factors. Standard-setting bodies, regulatory agencies and the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) have, on an industry-wide basis, separately issued proposals and other guidance in recent years on how the allowance for loan losses should be estimated and documented. Estimation of requirements for the allowance for loan losses is an inherently subjective process which involves significant judgement by management of many variables potentially impacting borrowers' ability to repay loans and the estimated values of underlying loan collateral. New banks, as a condition of charter approval, are required to maintain an allowance ratio of not less than 1% for their first three years of operations. Because they are new banks with new and unseasoned loans and no prior loss history, 1% is often used as a starting point for the allowance, particularly in the earliest years of operation. As some of the younger banks now have more seasoned loan portfolios and the 1% regulatory requirement represents only an absolute minimum, loan loss allowance ratios have been increased at Capitol's banks based on management's estimates of loss potential inherent in the loan portfolios at the balance sheet date. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenue growth has been significant. Total revenues grew to $171.4 million in 2002 from $73.2 million in 1998. The primary revenue source is interest income from loans. Net interest income is the difference between total interest income on loans and other earning assets and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The following graphs summarize growth in total revenue (which includes noninterest income revenues such as fees and service charges) and net interest income: [GRAPH] TOTAL REVENUES ($ millions) 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 73.2 98.3 138.4 163.4 171.4 15 [GRAPH] NET INTEREST INCOME ($ millions) 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 33.0 47.4 66.4 80.5 100.6 Most of the 2002 revenues, $103 million or about 60%, came from the most mature banks--those formed prior to 1998. Banks formed in 2000, 1999 and 1998 reported 2002 revenues of $62.7 million or 36% of the consolidated total. The youngest banks, those formed in 2002 and 2001, generated 2002 revenues totaling $6.4 million or about 4% of total consolidated revenues. Noninterest income increased about 56% in both 2002 and 2001. These increases resulted from higher levels of service-charge revenue associated with growth in the number of accounts and banks. A significant increase in noninterest income was also due to revenues from origination of non-portfolio mortgage loans. These revenues increased about 116% to $6.8 million in 2002 as homeowners took advantage of interest rates that decreased to their lowest levels in more than thirty years. Additional discussion about mortgage loan origination activity appears in the next section of this narrative. Growth in net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense, is the result of the addition of new banks during the periods presented and the ongoing growth of Capitol's more mature banks. Growth in net interest income, however, was tempered by a decrease in yields on assets and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing funds which fund the growth at each of the banks. Net interest margin decreased in 2001 mainly due to interest rate decreases impacting interest income at a rate faster than decreases in interest rates paid on deposits. 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. The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which has increased significantly due to the larger number of banks and bank development subsidiaries. 16 The following table summarizes net income for each of the banks, and on a consolidated basis, the related rates of return on average equity and assets, where applicable (in $1,000s): Net Income Return on Average Equity Return on Average Assets -------------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 2002 2001 2000 2002 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Great Lakes Region: Ann Arbor Commerce Bank $ 5,022 $ 4,200 $ 3,508 22.40% 22.02% 21.43% 1.72% 1.64% 1.55% Brighton Commerce Bank 973 597 534 15.26% 10.55% 10.22% 1.28% 0.90% 0.90% Capitol National Bank 3,176 2,647 2,319 22.68% 22.04% 22.08% 1.69% 1.66% 1.63% Detroit Commerce Bank (517) (187) 10 0.37% 0.03% Grand Haven Bank 1,924 1,060 1,084 20.51% 15.39% 19.20% 1.67% 1.21% 1.46% Kent Commerce Bank 992 113 130 13.72% 2.03% 3.21% 1.33% 0.20% 0.30% Macomb Community Bank 530 1,145 1,212 5.47% 12.33% 14.41% 0.60% 1.08% 1.14% Muskegon Commerce Bank 1,472 816 689 18.68% 12.73% 15.14% 1.83% 1.17% 1.23% Oakland Commerce Bank 1,414 1,328 1,027 16.01% 16.62% 13.78% 1.32% 1.27% 1.08% Paragon Bank & Trust 771 231 431 8.04% 3.23% 6.72% 0.77% 0.26% 0.50% Portage Commerce Bank 2,005 1,556 1,552 18.69% 15.62% 16.76% 1.49% 1.21% 1.21% Elkhart Community Bank 257 14 (229) 5.48% 0.30% 0.61% 0.04% Goshen Community Bank 125 (413) (216) 2.83% 0.36% -------- -------- -------- Great Lakes Region Total 18,144 13,107 12,051 Southwest Region: Arrowhead Community Bank 117 (386) (419) 2.70% 0.27% Bank of Tucson 2,312 2,095 2,149 21.87% 22.64% 27.69% 1.99% 1.89% 2.33% Camelback Community Bank 714 534 297 9.74% 10.80% 8.22% 0.90% 0.93% 0.74% East Valley Community Bank (336) 18 (532) 0.58% 0.05% Mesa Bank 848 386 268 14.51% 8.53% 6.77% 1.44% 0.87% 0.85% Southern Arizona Community Bank 668 320 169 10.67% 7.42% 4.44% 0.94% 0.67% 0.47% Valley First Community Bank 113 328 88 1.99% 5.94% 1.82% 0.23% 0.61% 0.18% Yuma Community Bank 147 (438) (176) 4.05% 0.43% Bank of Las Vegas (611) Black Mountain Community Bank 439 12 (468) 9.26% 0.27% 0.81% 0.03% Desert Community Bank 209 35 (180) 4.16% 0.76% 0.35% 0.07% Red Rock Community Bank 243 635 190 2.71% 7.64% 2.45% 0.26% 0.96% 0.62% Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque (40) 28 (386) 0.77% 0.09% Sunrise Bank of Arizona (194) 830 206 15.24% 4.64% 1.27% 0.43% -------- -------- -------- Southwest Region Total 4,629 4,397 1,206 California Region: Sunrise Bank of San Diego 342 (806) 4.53% 0.68% First California Northern Bancorp: Napa Community Bank (609) -------- -------- -------- California Region Total (267) (806) -0- Other, net (5,853) (5,980) (5,222) -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Consolidated totals $ 16,653 $ 10,718 $ 8,035 13.33% 15.22% 13.78% 0.75% 0.58% 0.55% ======== ======== ======== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Provisions for loan losses also increased significantly during recent years, commensurate with the growth in both the number of banks and loans, and trends in asset quality and loan charge-offs.

These categories totaled $352 million at year-end 2002, or about 15% of total assets. This compares to $262 million or 13% of total assets at year-end 2001. Liquidity is important for financial institutions because of their need to meet loan funding commitments, depositor withdrawal requests and various other commitments discussed in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. Liquidity varies significantly daily, based on customer activity. Most of the investment securities portfolio is classified as available for sale, although the banks generally have not sold investments to meet liquidity needs. Also, to the extent warranted, the banks may sell loans from time to time. Loans held for resale approximated $75.4 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of about 21% over year end 2001 levels. These loans are residential real estate mortgages originated by the banks, primarily through Capitol's mortgage affiliate, Amera Mortgage Corporation. These loans are subsequently sold into the secondary market, rather than being held in the banks' portfolio, to reduce interest rate risk. Loan origination volume in 2002 increased nearly 37%, to $891.5 million compared to $651.1 million in 2001 and $251 million in 2000. Most of this volume was achieved through record low interest rates and Amera's working with Capitol's Great Lakes Region banks. Future volume will depend on whether interest rates remain low and the strength of residential real estate market conditions. In early 2003, Amera's activities have expanded to include all of Capitol's affiliate banks. The primary source of funds for the banks is deposits. The banks emphasize interest-bearing time deposits as part of their funding strategy. The banks also seek noninterest-bearing deposits, or checking accounts, which reduce the banks' cost of funds. Noninterest-bearing deposits were about 17% of total deposits at year-end 2002 (about 16% at year-end 2001) and increased $88 million, or 32%, during the year. [GRAPH] TOTAL DEPOSITS ($ millions) 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 891 1,113 1,401 1,740 2,062 18 In recent periods, many banks have experienced some competitive challenges in obtaining additional deposits to fuel growth. Capitol's banks have had similar experiences in their individual markets. As depositors have wider access to the Internet and other real-time interest rate monitoring resources, deposit pricing has become more competitive. Deposit growth is achievable, but at a competitive price, with tight net interest margins, especially during these most recent periods of low interest rates. The banks do not generally rely on brokered deposits as a key funding source (approximately $200 million at year-end 2002 or 11.7% of interest-bearing deposits compared to 9.7% in 2001); however, brokered deposits are a ready resource to help meet urgent funding needs, such as loan commitments (which are discussed in greater detail in Note O of the consolidated financial statements). To supplement their funding sources, some of the banks have lines of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank system. At year-end 2002, a total of $79 million ($63 million at year-end 2001) was borrowed under those facilities and additional borrowing availability approximated $15 million. Some of the banks also have smaller lines of credit with their correspondent banks. Borrowings under these facilities are generally at short-term market rates of interest and, although the repayment dates can be extended, are generally outstanding for brief periods of time. Capitol has credit facilities aggregating $25 million from an unaffiliated bank. At year-end 2002, a total of $12.5 million ($14.1 million at year-end 2001) was borrowed under this facility. Borrowings under this credit facility were reduced in 2002 and 2001 through use of available corporate funds within the consolidated group. Capitol's longer-term contractual obligations are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Excluding time deposits of the banks, such obligations consist principally of debt and lease obligations and trust-preferred securities, summarized as follows (in $1,000s): Payments Due by Period -------------------------------- Within Within After Total 1 Year 2-5 Years 5 Years -------- -------- --------- -------- Debt obligations $ 93,398 $ 36,824 $ 20,074 $ 36,500 Rent commitments under noncancelable leases 19,515 3,773 12,131 3,611 Trust-preferred securities 53,300 -- -- 53,300 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total $166,213 $ 40,597 $ 32,205 $ 93,411 ======== ======== ======== ======== Loan commitments of Capitol's banks (stand-by letters of credit and unfunded loans) generally expire within one year. A significant source of capital has been investments provided by minority shareholders in the subsidiaries which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Total minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries amounted to $28.0 million at year-end 2002, a decrease of $42.7 million from the $70.7 million level at year-end 2001. The decreases in minority interests in 2002 resulted mainly from Capitol consolidating the ownership of some of its subsidiaries. 19 Three majority-owned bank-development subsidiaries became 100% owned in 2002. In each of these transactions, the shares acquired from the minority shareholders were exchanged for Capitol's common stock according to fixed, but differing, exchange ratios. The exchange with Sun Community Bancorp (Sun) was completed effective March 31, 2002 and resulted in the issuance of approximately 2.7 million Capitol shares. Share exchanges regarding Sunrise Capital Corporation and Indiana Community Bancorp Limited were completed effective September 30, 2002 and resulted in the issuance of about 450,000 shares of Capitol. Additionally, 383,000 Capitol shares were issued from the share exchange with Nevada Community Bancorp Limited which was completed in January 2003; this transaction has been reflected for balance-sheet purposes as if it occurred on December 31, 2002. Two majority-owned banks also became wholly-owned in 2002. Share exchange transactions for Detroit Commerce Bank and East Valley Community Bank were completed effective December 31, 2002. About 54,000 shares of Capitol's common stock were issued in those transactions. While it is likely that similar share exchange transactions, as a harvest strategy to gain full ownership of some bank subsidiaries, may occur in the future, any such transactions depend upon whether Capitol (or one of its subsidiary bank holding companies) offers such an exchange and whether minority shareholders vote in favor of it on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Total stockholders' equity approximated $160.0 million at year-end 2002, an increase of $79.9 million for the year. The 2002 increase in stockholders' equity includes earnings (less dividends paid) and proceeds from the issuance of common stock. A substantial portion of the increase in stockholders' equity was the result of the previously-mentioned share-exchange transactions which reduced minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries. The book value per share of common stock was $13.72 at year-end 2002, compared with $10.24 at year-end 2001. Cash dividends of $0.44 were paid in 2002, compared to $0.40 in 2001 and $0.36 in 2000. Future payment of dividends is subject to approval by Capitol's board of directors, future operating performance and management's assessment of the consolidated organization's capital adequacy. [The remainder of this page intentionally left blank] 20 Capitol's capital structure consists of these primary elements: * Trust-preferred securities, * Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, and * Stockholders' equity. [GRAPH] TOTAL CAPITALIZATION ($ millions) 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 101.1 133.6 157.3 199.5 239.6 In June 2002, Capitol participated in the private placement of a pooled trust-preferred security totaling $3 million. This is a variable rate security with a thirty year term and, subject to certain provisions, may be repaid early. In 2001, Capitol participated in two private placements of pooled trust-preferred securities totaling $25 million. These securities, along with Capitol Trust I (a $25 million public offering of trust-preferred securities in 1997), are treated as elements of capital for regulatory purposes. Total capitalization at year-end 2002 amounted to $239.6 million or 9.9% of total assets. This compares to $199.5 million or 9.8% at year-end 2001. Capitol and each of its banks and bank development subsidiaries are subject to a complex series of regulatory rules and requirements which require specific levels of capital adequacy at both the bank level and on a consolidated basis. Under those rules and regulations, banks are categorized as WELL CAPITALIZED, ADEQUATELY CAPITALIZED or INADEQUATELY CAPITALIZED using several ratio measurements, including a risk-weighting approach to assets and financial commitments. Banks falling into the INADEQUATELY CAPITALIZED category are subject to the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act, which can result in significant regulatory agency intervention and other adverse action. Although it is permissible to maintain capital adequacy at the ADEQUATELY CAPITALIZED level, Capitol operates with the objective of its banks meeting the WELL CAPITALIZED standard. The well capitalized banks benefit from lower FDIC deposit insurance costs and less restrictive limitations on some banking activities. New banks, as a condition of regulatory charter approval, are required to maintain higher ratios of capital adequacy. Generally, they are required to keep a specific ratio of capital-to-average-total-assets of not less than 8% during their first three years of operation. In the opinion of management, all of the affiliated banks met the criteria to be classified as WELL CAPITALIZED at year-end 2002. 21 TRENDS AFFECTING OPERATIONS The most significant trends which can impact the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions are changes in market rates of interest and changes in general economic conditions. 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. This timing difference between interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive liabilities is characterized as a "gap" which is quantified by the distribution of rate-sensitive amounts within various time periods in which they reprice or mature. The following table summarizes the consolidated financial position in relation to "gap" at December 31, 2002 (in $1,000s): Interest Rate Sensitivity --------------------------------------------------------- 0 to 3 4 to 12 2 to 5 Over 5 Months Months Years Years Total ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ASSETS Federal funds sold $ 83,737 $ 83,737 Interest-bearing bank deposits 42,301 42,301 Investment securities 500 $ 2,910 $ 17,524 $ 13,205 34,139 Portfolio loans: Commercial 870,775 175,411 721,126 21,724 1,789,036 Real estate mortgage 64,469 15,170 42,354 5,862 127,855 Installment 10,494 14,765 47,645 1,577 74,481 Loans held for resale 75,420 75,420 Non-earning assets 182,319 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total assets $ 1,147,696 $ 208,256 $ 828,649 $ 42,368 $ 2,409,288 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Interest-bearing deposits: Time deposits under $100,000 $ 59,245 $ 137,045 $ 134,670 $ $ 330,960 Time deposits over $100,000 140,408 257,384 166,768 564,560 All other interest-bearing deposits 661,031 142,094 2,758 805,883 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total interest-bearing deposits 860,684 536,523 304,196 1,701,403 Debt obligations 24,750 12,074 20,074 36,500 93,398 Noninterest-bearing liabilities 374,851 Trust-preferred securities 17,471 34,112 51,583 Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries 28,016 Stockholders' equity 160,037 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 902,905 $ 548,597 $ 324,270 $ 70,612 $ 2,409,288 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== Interest rate sensitive period gap $ 244,791 $ (340,341) $ 504,379 $ (28,244) =========== =========== =========== =========== Interest rate sensitive cumulative gap $ 244,791 $ (95,550) $ 408,829 $ 380,585 =========== =========== =========== =========== Period rate sensitive assets/period rate sensitive liabilities 1.27 0.38 2.56 0.60 Cumulative rate sensitive assets/cumulative rate sensitive liabilities 1.27 0.93 1.23 1.21 Cumulative gap to total assets 10.16% (3.97)% 16.97% 15.80% 22 The "gap" changes daily based upon changes in the underlying assets and liabilities at the banks. Analyzing exposure to interest rate risk is prone to imprecision because the "gap" is constantly changing, the "gap" differs at each of the banks, and it is difficult to predict the timing, amount and direction of future changes in market interest rates and the potential corresponding effect on customer behavior. The banks endeavor to manage and monitor interest rate risk in concert with market conditions and risk parameters. Management strives to maintain a reasonably balanced position of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. The banks have not engaged in speculative positions, for example, through the use of derivatives, in anticipation of interest rate movements. In periods of relatively lower interest rates, the banks emphasize variable rate loans and time deposits to the extent possible in a competitive environment; however, competitive influences often result in making fixed rate loans, although the banks seek to limit the duration of such loans. These most recent periods of record low interest rates have created a huge volume of fixed-rate mortgage refinancing activity; those loans are sold to the secondary market and are not retained for the banks' loan portfolios. Similarly, low interest rates generally make competition more intense for deposits, since loan demand will typically increase during periods of lower rates and, accordingly, result in higher interest costs on deposits as competitors bid-up rates, adversely impacting interest margins. Future interest rates and the impact on earnings are difficult to predict. In addition to interest rate risk relating to interest-bearing assets and liabilities, changes in interest rates also can impact future transaction volume of loans and deposits at the banks. For activities which are influenced by levels of interest rates for transaction volume (for example, origination of residential mortgage loans), pricing margins and demand can become impacted significantly by changes in interest rates. As a means of monitoring and managing exposure to interest rate risk, management uses a computerized simulation model which is intended to estimate pro forma effects of changes in interest rates. Using the simulation model, the following table illustrates, on a consolidated basis, changes which would occur in annual levels of interest income, interest expense and net interest income (in $1,000s) assuming both one hundred and two hundred basis point ("bp") parallel increases and decreases in interest rates: Pro Forma Pro Forma Effect of Pro Forma Effect of Assuming No Interest Rate Increases Interest Rate Decreases Change in ----------------------- ----------------------- Interest Rates +100 bp +200 bp -100 bp -200 bp -------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Interest income $116,576 $127,323 $138,186 $105,908 $ 95,821 Interest expense 51,087 54,752 58,417 47,422 44,229 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net interest income $ 65,489 $ 72,571 $ 79,769 $ 58,486 $ 51,592 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== The pro forma analysis above is intended to quantify theoretical changes in interest income based on stated assumptions. The pro forma analysis excludes the effect of numerous other variables such as borrowers' ability to repay loans, the ability of banks to obtain deposits in a radically changed interest-rate environment and how management would revise its asset and liability management priorities in concert with rate changes. 23 In November 2002, the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board decreased interbank interest rates by 50 basis points. During 2001, the Federal Reserve decreased interbank interest rates 11 times, which was an unprecedented action to reduce rates 475 basis points within a year. While the pro forma analysis above is intended to estimate the impact of an immediate 100 and 200 basis point change in rates, actual results will be different. Those results will differ (and may be materially different) because a sudden rate change in market rates does not result in an instantaneous parallel shift in rates on loans and deposits at banks. Further, any financial model intended to estimate the impact of interest rate changes will not necessarily incorporate other variables, including management's efforts to manage its asset and liability interest rate sensitivity, nor customer behavior. General economic conditions also have a significant impact on both the results of operations and the financial condition of financial institutions. Local economic conditions, and to some extent national economic conditions, have a significant impact on levels of loan demand as well as the ability of borrowers to repay loans and the availability of funds for customers to make deposits. 2001 marked the end of the longest peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history. The terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, our Nation's subsequent war on terrorism, the diagnosis of economic recession in the U.S., worldwide economic and political instability, recent major business bankruptcies and their related high-profile questionable accounting and financial reporting practices, raised significant concerns over the near-term and longer-horizons for economic and political uncertainty. 2002 ended with the United States' economy still mired in recession and the threat of war looming. While there are some indications of an improving economy, 2003 and beyond are very uncertain. At the time this narrative was written, uncertainties of domestic economic health and global stability preclude prediction of near-term trends and their potential effects. Continuing consolidation of the banking industry on a national basis, and in the markets of Capitol's banks, has presented opportunities for growth. As a result of consolidation of the banking industry and the conversion of customer relationships into perceived `commodities' by the larger banks, many customer relationships have been displaced, generating opportunities for development by Capitol's banks. For many retail customers, banking services have become a commodity in an environment that is dominated by larger mega-bank or mass-merchandising institutions. For the professional, entrepreneur and other customers seeking a more service-oriented, customized banking relationship, Capitol's banks fill that need through their focus on single-location banks with full, local decision-making authority. As the banks focus on service delivery and keeping their size at a manageable level, only a modest market share of deposits and loan activity is necessary to achieve profitability and investor-oriented earnings performance. Start-up banks generally incur operating losses during their early periods of operations. Recently-formed start-up banks will detract from consolidated earnings performance and additional start-up banks formed in 2002 and beyond will similarly negatively impact short-term profitability. On a consolidated basis, such operating losses reduce net income by the pro rata share of Capitol's ownership percentage in those banks. When those banks become profitable, their operating results will contribute to consolidated earnings to the extent of Capitol's ownership percentage. 24 Commercial banks continue to be subject to significant regulatory requirements which impact current and future operations. In addition to the extent of regulatory interaction with financial institutions, extensive rules and regulations governing lending activities, deposit gathering and capital adequacy (to name a few), translate into a significant cost burden of financial institution regulation. Such costs include the significant amount of management time and expense which is incurred in maintaining compliance and developing systems for compliance with those rules and regulations as well as the cost of examinations, audits and other compliance activities. The future of financial institution regulation, and its costs, is uncertain and difficult to predict. Premiums for FDIC insurance have historically been a significant cost of doing business as financial institutions, but in the most recent years, deposit insurance premiums have been maintained at a stable and modest level. Future deposit insurance premium levels are difficult to predict inasmuch as deposit insurance premiums will be determined based on general economic conditions, the relative health of the banking and financial institution industry and other unpredictable factors. It is reasonable to expect that deposit insurance premiums may increase at some point in the future. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS There were several new accounting standards which were issued or became effective in 2002, in addition to some which have later effective dates. They are listed and discussed in Note B of the consolidated financial statements, beginning on page 36. [The remainder of this page intentionally left blank] 25 Board of Directors and Stockholders Capitol Bancorp Ltd. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capitol Bancorp Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capitol Bancorp Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In recent years it has engaged in the formation of DE NOVO banks through majority ownership made directly by Capitol, or through a subsidiary bank-development company, with the remainder of the banks' start-up capital provided by local investors in the bank's community. When the DE NOVO bank reaches a point of development near its third year of operation, Capitol may offer the bank's minority shareholders an opportunity to exchange their bank shares for shares of Capitol. Capitol has made similar exchange proposals regarding the minority interests of some of its bank-development-company subsidiaries. In each instance, however, Capitol is under no obligation to offer such a share exchange and such share exchange proposals are generally subject to approval by the minority shareholders in each proposed transaction. Capitol and its subsidiaries are engaged in a single business activity--banking. The bank affiliates provide a full range of banking services to individuals, businesses and other customers located in their respective communities. Each of the banks generally operate from a single location and focus their activities on meeting the various credit and other banking needs of entrepreneurs, professionals and other businesses and individuals. A variety of deposit products are offered, including checking, savings, money market, individual retirement accounts and certificates of deposit. In addition, trust and investment services are offered through Paragon Bank & Trust. The principal markets for the banks' financial services are the communities in which they are located and the areas immediately surrounding those communities. In addition to commercial banking units, mortgage banking activities are offered through Amera Mortgage Corporation, a less than 50%-owned affiliate. Each bank is viewed by management as being a separately identifiable business or segment from the perspective of monitoring performance and allocation of financial resources. Although the banks operate independently and are managed and monitored separately, each bank is substantially similar in terms of business focus, type of customers, products and services. Further, each of the banks and the Corporation are subject to substantially similar laws and regulations unique to the banking industry. Accordingly, the Corporation's consolidated financial statements reflect the presentation of segment information on an aggregated basis. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions, and after giving effect to applicable minority interests. Banks formed during 2000, 2001 and 2002 are included in the consolidated financial statements for periods after joining the consolidated group. Certain 2001 and 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. 32 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ESTIMATES: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks (interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing), money-market funds and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds transactions are entered into for a one-day period. LOANS HELD FOR RESALE: Loans held for resale represent residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale into the secondary market. Loans held for resale are stated at the aggregate lower of cost or market. Fees from the origination of loans held for resale are recognized in the period the loans are originated. INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Investment securities available for sale (generally most debt investment securities of Capitol's banks) are carried at market value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of tax effect (accumulated other comprehensive income). All other investment securities are classified as held for long-term investment and are carried at amortized cost which approximates market value (see Note C). Investments are classified at the date of purchase based on management's analysis of liquidity and other factors. The adjusted cost of the specific securities sold is used to compute realized gains or losses. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. LOANS, CREDIT RISK AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: Portfolio loans are carried at their principal balance based on management's intent and ability to hold such loans for the foreseeable future until maturity or repayment. Credit risk arises from making loans and loan commitments in the ordinary course of business. Substantially all portfolio loans are made to borrowers in the banks' geographic areas. Consistent with the banks' emphasis on business lending, there are concentrations of credit in loans secured by commercial real estate, equipment and other business assets. The maximum potential credit risk to Capitol, without regard to underlying collateral and guarantees, is the total of loans and loan commitments outstanding. Management reduces Capitol's exposure to losses from credit risk by requiring collateral and/or guarantees for loans granted and by monitoring concentrations of credit, in addition to recording provisions for loan losses and maintaining an allowance for loan losses. 33 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate 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. INTEREST AND FEES ON LOANS: Interest income on loans is recognized based upon the principal balance of loans outstanding. Fees from origination of portfolio loans generally approximate the direct costs of successful loan originations. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to interest. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest previously accrued (but unpaid) is reversed. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest and the loan is in process of collection. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Premises and equipment are stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation, which relates primarily to equipment and furniture with estimated useful lives of approximately three to seven years, is computed principally by the straight-line method. Buildings are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives of approximately 40 years. Leasehold improvements are generally depreciated over the respective lease term. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES: Amortization of goodwill ceased, as required, January 1, 2002, upon implementation of a new accounting standard (see "New Accounting Standards" below). Goodwill is reviewed periodically by management for impairment and, accordingly, impairment adjustments of goodwill are charged against earnings, when determined. Other intangibles, which generally consist of core deposit intangibles, are amortized over varying periods of less than 10 years and are not material. OTHER REAL ESTATE: Other real estate (included as a component of other assets, and at December 31, 2002 and 2001 approximated $4,605,000 and $3,044,000, respectively) comprises properties acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value (net of estimated selling cost) at the date acquired and are periodically reviewed for subsequent impairment. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: No stock-based compensation expense is recorded upon granting of stock options because such stock options are accounted for under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25 (and related interpretations) and are granted at an exercise price equal to the market price of common stock at grant date. 34 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, establishes an alternative fair value method of accounting for stock options whereby compensation expense would be recognized based on the computed fair value of the options on the grant date. By not electing this alternative, certain pro forma disclosures of the expense recognition provisions of Statement No. 123 are required, which are as follows: 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Fair value assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 4.5% 5.0% 7.0% Dividend yield 2.5% 2.8% 3.0% Stock price volatility .46 .39 .83 Expected option life 7 years 7 years 7 years Aggregate estimated fair value of options granted (in thousands) $ 11,548 $ 95 $ 4,932 Net income (in thousands): As reported 16,653 10,718 8,035 Pro forma 8,078 9,809 6,471 Net income per share: Basic: As reported 1.64 1.38 1.14 Pro forma 0.80 1.26 .92 Diluted: As reported 1.57 1.35 1.13 Pro forma $ 0.76 $ 1.24 $ .91 TRUST ASSETS AND RELATED INCOME: Customer property, other than funds on deposit, held in a fiduciary or agency capacity by Capitol's banks is not included in the consolidated balance sheet because it is not an asset of the banks or Capitol. Trust fee income is recorded on the accrual method. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Capitol and subsidiaries owned 80% or more by Capitol file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income is the sum of net income and certain other items which are charged or credited to stockholders' equity. For the periods presented, Capitol's only element of comprehensive income other than net income was the net change in the market value adjustment for investment securities available for sale. Accordingly, the elements and total of comprehensive income are shown within the statement of changes in stockholders' equity presented herein. 35 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, 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. Capitol's previous business combinations (generally, acquisitions of minority interests) have been accounted for using the purchase method. Upon implementation, this new standard did not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements, other than the elimination of goodwill amortization ($979,000 in 2001 and $561,000 in 2000) in future periods. 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, and in the fourth quarter of 2002, no impairment losses were identified as of those dates. 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): Year Ended December 31 ---------------------- 2001 2000 --------- --------- Net income, as reported $ 10,718 $ 8,035 Add back -- goodwill amortization 979 561 --------- --------- Net income, as adjusted $ 11,697 $ 8,596 ========= ========= Net income per share, as reported: Basic $ 1.38 $ 1.14 ========= ========= Diluted $ 1.35 $ 1.13 ========= ========= Add back -- goodwill amortization per share: Basic $ 0.12 $ 0.08 ========= ========= Diluted $ 0.12 $ 0.08 ========= ========= Net income per share, as adjusted: Basic $ 1.50 $ 1.22 ========= ========= Diluted $ 1.47 $ 1.21 ========= ========= 36 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED The FASB has also recently issued Statements No. 143 (ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS), No. 144 (ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS), 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) and No. 146 (ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES). These new standards have varying effective dates in 2002 and 2003 and, based on management's analysis, are not expected to have a material effect 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. It had no material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements, upon implementation. Statement No. 148, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE, provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and it amends the prior disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require more prominent and frequent disclosures about the effects of stock-based compensation. As permitted, Capitol has retained its prior method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. FASB Interpretation No. 45, GUARANTOR'S ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING INDIRECT GUARANTEES AND INDEBTEDNESS OF OTHERS, expands disclosures about obligations under certain guarantees and, in addition, requires recording a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantee, applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Capitol's disclosure of guarantees is made in Note O. This new guidance had no impact on Capitol's consolidated financial position or results of operations, upon implementation. FASB Interpretation No. 46, CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, clarifies when some entities previously not consolidated under prior accounting guidance, should be. This new guidance, which was effective upon issuance in January 2003, is not expected to have a material effect upon Capitol's consolidated financial statements. In 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council each issued new guidance (some of which remains to be finalized) on accounting for allowances for loan losses. While the new guidance does not change prior accounting rules in this area, it provides additional clarification and guidance on how the calculation, adequacy and approval of the allowances should be documented by management. 37 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE B--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED 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.

Interest income recognized on loans in nonaccrual status in 2002, 2001 and 2000 operations approximated $385,000, $513,000 and $205,000, respectively. At December 31, 2002, there were no material amounts of loans which were restructured or otherwise renegotiated as a concession to troubled borrowers. The amounts of the allowance for loan losses allocated in the following table (in $1,000s) are based on management's estimate of losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date, and should not be interpreted as an indication of future charge-offs: December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001 --------------------- --------------------- Percentage Percentage of Total of Total Portfolio Portfolio Amount Loans Amount Loans ------- ------- ------- ------- Commercial $27,226 1.37% $20,570 1.19% Real estate mortgage 1,009 0.05 1,630 0.09 Installment 718 0.03 1,038 0.06 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total allowance for loan losses $28,953 1.45% $23,238 1.34% ======= ======= ======= ======= 40 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE E--RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS In the ordinary course of business, Capitol's banking subsidiaries make loans to officers and directors of Capitol and its subsidiaries including their immediate families and companies in which they are principal owners. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, total loans to these persons were $94.3 million and $80.9 million, respectively. During 2002, $69.7 million of new loans were made to these persons and repayments totaled $56.3 million. Such loans are made at the banking subsidiaries' normal credit terms. Officers and directors of Capitol (and their associates, family and/or affiliates) are also depositors of the banking subsidiaries. Such deposits are similarly made at the banks' normal terms as to interest rate, term and deposit insurance. NOTE F--PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Major classes of premises and equipment consisted of the following at December 31 (in $1,000s): 2002 2001 -------- -------- Land, buildings and improvements $ 7,344 $ 6,274 Leasehold improvements 7,965 6,659 Equipment and furniture 20,120 15,014 -------- -------- 35,429 27,947 Less accumulated depreciation (13,692) (11,506) -------- -------- $ 21,737 $ 16,441 ======== ======== Capitol and certain subsidiaries rent office space under operating leases.

Such advances become due at varying dates and bear interest at market short-term rates (approximately 3.94% at December 31, 2002). At December 31, 2002, unused lines of credit under these facilities approximated $15 million. Notes payable to unaffiliated bank represents borrowings under a line of credit. Up to $25 million can be borrowed pursuant to a one-year revolving credit agreement which bears interest at a variable rate (4% at December 31, 2002), payable monthly. $12.5 million was drawn on the line of credit at December 31, 2002. The credit facility is reviewed annually for continuance and requires Capitol, among other things, to maintain certain minimum levels of capital, rates of return on assets and other ratios or requirements and is secured by the common stock of certain bank subsidiaries. For the periods presented, interest paid on all debt obligations approximates amounts charged to expense. 42 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE H--DEBT OBLIGATIONS--CONTINUED At December 31, 2002, scheduled debt maturities were as follows (in $1,000s): 2003 $ 36,824 2004 9,600 2005 7,474 2006 1,000 2007 and thereafter 38,500 -------- $ 93,398 ======== In addition to the foregoing, Capitol has guaranteed some obligations of its subsidiaries (see Note O). NOTE I--TRUST-PREFERRED SECURITIES Trust-preferred securities represent interests in subordinated debentures of Capitol which are summarized as follows: Net Carrying Amount Aggregate at December 31 Current Liquidation ------------------- Interest Scheduled Amount (in $1,000s) Description Rate Maturity (in $1,000s) 2002 2001 - ----------- ---- -------- ------------ ---- ---- Capitol Trust I 8.50% fixed 2027 $25,300 $24,399 $24,363 Capitol Trust II 10.25% fixed 2031 10,000 9,713 9,703 Capitol Statutory Trust III 5.34% variable 2031 15,000 14,570 14,555 Capitol Trust IV 5.43% variable 2032 3,000 2,901 ------- ------- ------- $53,300 $51,583 $48,621 ======= ======= ======= Securities of Capitol Trust I were issued in a 1997 public offering. Capitol Trust II and Capitol Statutory Trust III were formed in 2001 in conjunction with private placements of pooled trust-preferred securities. Capitol Trust IV was similarly formed in 2002. Each of these securities have similar terms and, subject to certain provisions, may be called by the issuer five years after issuance. The liquidation amount of these securities is guaranteed by Capitol. Interest paid to the Trusts by Capitol (which is recorded as interest expense in its consolidated financial statements) is distributed by the Trusts to the holders of the trust-preferred securities. Under certain conditions, Capitol may defer payment of interest on the subordinated debentures for periods of up to five years. Because these Trusts are subsidiaries (due to Capitol's ownership of the common interests of the Trusts), they are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The amount of outstanding trust-preferred securities (net of issuance costs which are being amortized over the life of the securities) is classified between liabilities and equity in Capitol's consolidated balance sheet. Under current regulatory guidelines, such trust-preferred securities are included as capital for purposes of meeting certain ratio requirements. 43 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE J--COMMON STOCK, WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS At December 31, 2002, a share exchange proposal was pending regarding the minority interests of Nevada Community Bancorp Limited. This share exchange proposal was subject to approval by Nevada's shareholders (other than Capitol) at a meeting held on January 17, 2003, at which time the share exchange was approved. Capitol has reflected the Nevada share exchange, for purposes of its consolidated balance sheet, as if the share exchange occurred on December 31, 2002. Such share exchange resulted in Capitol issuing approximately 383,000 shares of its previously unissued common stock. At December 31, 2002, approximately 30,000 warrants for the purchase of common stock were outstanding. Each warrant permits the holder to purchase a share of Capitol's common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 and expires in 2003. Stock options have been granted to certain officers and directors which provide for the purchase of shares of common stock. Generally, stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of common stock on the grant date. Of the stock options granted in 2000, pursuant to the Corporation's 2000 Stock Option Plan, 563,435 vest over a three-year period; the remainder are fully vested and currently exercisable. All such stock options expire seven years after the date granted. Under the terms of an employment agreement with a certain director and executive officer of Capitol, options granted thereunder shall be increased when the Corporation issues additional shares so that such options granted equal 15% of outstanding shares prior to exercise. In 1999, Capitol negotiated a reduction of the executive officer's benefit from 15% to 10%. In exchange for the reduced benefit to the executive officer, Capitol agreed to a one-time exercise of previously granted stock options with an aggregate exercise price of $1.6 million funded by a note receivable of $1.9 million from the executive officer. The note bears interest at a fixed rate over its ten-year term. As part of the terms of this agreement, the executive officer's compensation will be increased in an amount equal to the interest due on the note receivable. Under certain circumstances, such as death of the executive officer, the note will be forgiven. The death benefit is covered by company-owned life insurance. The note receivable was repaid subsequent to December 31, 2002. 44 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE J--COMMON STOCK, WARRANTS AND STOCK OPTIONS--CONTINUED Stock option activity is summarized as follows: Number Weighted of Stock Average Options Exercise Exercise Outstanding Price Range Price ----------- ------------------ ------ Outstanding at January 1, 2000 491,962 $ 4.92 to $25.10 $14.51 Granted in 2000 722,934 9.88 to 12.50 10.86 Exercised in 2000 (10,734) 4.92 to 7.72 6.48 --------- ------------------ ------ Outstanding at December 31, 2000 1,204,162 4.92 to 25.10 12.39 Granted in 2001 17,311 11.50 to 14.48 11.95 Exercised in 2001 (18,350) 4.92 to 11.00 7.18 --------- ------------------ ------ Outstanding at December 31, 2001 1,203,123 4.92 to 25.10 12.46 Granted in 2002 1,669,004 13.50 to 23.24 16.39 Exercised in 2002 (138,447) 8.17 to 16.17 9.68 Cancelled or expired in 2002 (185,144) --------- ------------------ ------ Outstanding at December 31, 2002 2,548,536 $ 4.92 to $25.10 $15.23 As of December 31, 2002, stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.9 years.

The Plan provides for employer contributions in amounts determined annually by Capitol's board of directors. Eligible employees make voluntary contributions to the Plan. Contributions to the Plan, which are an employer match (50%, subject to certain limitations) for employee contributions, charged to expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $717,000, $691,000 and $475,000, respectively. Capitol also has a defined contribution employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which covers substantially all employees of Capitol and certain subsidiaries. Certain common stock purchases by the ESOP were financed by long-term debt. ESOP contributions charged to expense in 2002, 2001 and 2000 approximated $405,000, $525,000 and $180,000 (including ESOP note payable interest of $24,000, $37,000 and $49,000), respectively. Shares of common stock held by the ESOP which have not yet been allocated to participants' accounts are shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity. As of December 31, 2002, the ESOP held approximately 218,000 shares of Capitol's common stock which have been allocated to participants' accounts and 18,000 shares of common stock with an approximate fair value of $418,000 which have not yet been allocated to participants' accounts.

Such estimates of fair value are not intended to represent market value or portfolio liquidation value, and only represent an estimate of fair values based on current financial reporting requirements. 48 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE O--COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES In the ordinary course of business, loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of bank customers. Loan commitments include stand-by letters of credit, lines of credit, and other commitments for commercial, installment and mortgage loans. Stand-by letters of credit, when issued, commit the bank to make payments on behalf of customers if certain specified future events occur and are used infrequently by the banks ($17.3 million and $19.2 million outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively). Other loan commitments outstanding consist of unused lines of credit and approved, but unfunded, specific loan commitments ($455.6 million and $398.9 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively). These loan commitments (stand-by letters of credit and unfunded loans) generally expire within one year and are reviewed periodically for continuance or renewal. All loan commitments have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in routinely making loans to customers and are made subject to the banks' normal credit policies. In making these loan commitments, collateral and/or personal guarantees of the borrowers are generally obtained based on management's credit assessment. The banking subsidiaries are required to maintain average reserve balances in the form of cash on hand and balances due from the Federal Reserve Bank and correspondent banks. The amount of reserve balances required as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $3.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Deposits at each of the banks are insured up to the maximum amount covered by FDIC insurance. Some of the banks have municipal government deposits which are guaranteed by Capitol ($16 million at December 31, 2002). Capitol has guaranteed up to $7.5 million of secured borrowings by Amera Mortgage Corporation, a less than 50%-owned affiliate. 49 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE P--DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS OF SUBSIDIARIES AND OTHER CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Current banking regulations restrict the ability to transfer funds from subsidiaries to their parent in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Subject to various regulatory capital requirements, bank subsidiaries' current and retained earnings are available for distribution as dividends to Capitol (and other bank shareholders, as applicable) without prior approval from regulatory authorities. Substantially all of the remaining net assets of the subsidiaries are restricted as to payments to Capitol. Each bank and Capitol are subject to certain other capital requirements. Federal financial institution regulatory agencies have established certain risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Those guidelines require all banks and bank holding companies to maintain certain minimum ratios and related amounts based on `Tier 1' and `Tier 2' capital and `risk-weighted assets' as defined and periodically prescribed by the respective regulatory agencies. Failure to meet these capital requirements can result in severe regulatory enforcement action or other adverse consequences for a depository institution and, accordingly, could have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and related framework for prompt corrective action, the specific capital requirements involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulatory agencies with regard to components, risk weighting and other factors. As a condition of their charter approval, DE NOVO banks are generally required to maintain a core capital (Tier 1) to average assets ratio of not less than 8% and an allowance for loan losses of not less than 1% for the first three years of operations. As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notifications received by the banks from regulatory agencies have advised that the banks are classified as `well capitalized' as defined by the applicable agencies. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes would change the regulatory classification of the banks. Management believes, as of December 31, 2002, that Capitol and the banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which the entities are subject. 50 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED NOTE P--DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS OF SUBSIDIARIES AND OTHER CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS--CONTINUED The following table summarizes the amounts (in $1,000s) and related ratios of the individually significant subsidiaries (assets of $200 million or more) and consolidated regulatory capital position as of December 31, 2002 and 2001: Ann Arbor Capitol Commerce National Bank Bank Consolidated ---- ---- ------------ December 31, 2002 Tier 1 capital to average total assets: Minimum required amount >=$ 12,445 >=$ 8,092 >=$ 89,405 Actual amount $ 23,512 $ 14,631 $ 216,965 Ratio 7.56% 7.23% 9.71% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets: Minimum required amount(1) >=$ 10,707 >=$ 6,628 >=$ 82,506 Actual amount $ 23,512 $ 14,631 $ 216,965 Ratio 8.78% 8.83% 10.52% Combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk- weighted assets: Minimum required amount(2) >=$ 21,413 >=$ 13,256 >=$ 165,011 Amount required to meet 'Well-Capitalized' category(3) $ 26,767 $ 16,569 $ 206,264 Actual amount $ 26,864 $ 16,705 $ 242,787 Ratio 10.04% 10.08% 11.77% December 31, 2001 Tier 1 capital to average total assets: Minimum required amount >=$ 10,860 >=$ 6,723 >=$ 74,096 Actual amount $ 20,970 $ 13,155 $ 189,555 Ratio 7.72% 7.83% 10.23% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets: Minimum required amount(1) >=$ 9,165 >=$ 5,848 >=$ 71,970 Actual amount $ 20,970 $ 13,155 $ 189,555 Ratio 9.15% 9.00% 10.54% Combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk- weighted assets: Minimum required amount(2) >=$ 18,329 >=$ 11,696 >=$ 143,941 Amount required to meet 'Well-Capitalized' category(3) $ 22,912 $ 14,620 $ 179,926 Actual amount $ 23,838 $ 14,984 $ 213,263 Ratio 10.40% 10.25% 11.85% (1) The minimum required ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 4%.

These share exchange transactions involved the issuance of previously unissued shares of Capitol's common stock for the minority interests of the following subsidiaries: Number of Common Entity Effective Date Shares Issued ------ -------------- ------------- Sun Community Bancorp Limited March 31, 2002 2,721,749 Sunrise Capital Corporation September 30, 2002 266,406 Indiana Community Bancorp Limited September 30, 2002 181,235 East Valley Community Bank December 31, 2002 37,827 Detroit Commerce Bank December 31, 2002 16,371 Had these acquisitions occurred at the beginning of 2002, consolidated net income would have approximated $17 million and diluted earnings per share would have been $1.20. Each of these acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. During 2000, three banks which were previously majority-owned by Capitol (Brighton Commerce Bank, Kent Commerce Bank and Muskegon Commerce Bank) became wholly-owned, resulting from share exchange transactions with the banks' minority shareholders. Had those acquisitions of minority interests occurred at the beginning of 2000, consolidated net income would have approximated $7.9 million and diluted earnings per share would have been $1.04. NOTE S--PENDING AND PROPOSED SHARE EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS As stated previously (see Note J), a share exchange proposal was pending at December 31, 2002 regarding Nevada Community Bancorp Limited which was approved by its shareholders in January 2003. For purposes of its consolidated balance sheet, Capitol has reflected the Nevada share exchange as if it occurred on December 31, 2002. In early 2003, Capitol and the boards of directors of Red Rock Community Bank, Desert Community Bank and Elkhart Community Bank (such banks being majority-owned by Capitol) approved separately a plan of share exchange for each bank. The share exchange proposals are subject to approval by the banks' respective shareholders (other than Capitol). If the share exchange proposals are approved, Capitol estimates it would issue approximately 623,000 shares of its common stock. 54
