SUN COMMUNITY BANCORP LIMITED
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Sun
Community Bancorp Limited (Sun) have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all information and
footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The statements do, however, include all adjustments of a normal
recurring nature (in accordance with Rule 10-01(b)(8) of Regulation S-X) which
Sun considers necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.
The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1999.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 was derived from
audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain 1998 amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.
NOTE B - IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
AICPA Statement of Position 98-5, REPORTING ON THE COSTS OF START-UP
ACTIVITIES, requires start-up, preopening and organizational costs to be charged
to expense when incurred. The initial application of this statement, which
became effective January 1, 1999, also requires the write-off of any such costs
previously capitalized. Implementation of this new statement is shown as a
cumulative effect adjustment in the first quarter of 1999.

NOTE D - NEW BANK AND PENDING BANK APPLICATIONS
East Valley Community Bank, located in Chandler, Arizona, opened on
June 30, 1999. It is majority owned by Sun.
As of June 30, 1999, an application was pending for a new bank in
Nevada. The bank, Desert Community Bank, opened August 6, 1999.
NOTE E - PROSPECTIVE IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
FASB Statement No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES requires all derivatives to be recognized in financial
statements and to be measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from
changes in fair value would be included in income, or in comprehensive income,
depending on whether the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting and the type
of hedging instrument involved. This new standard will become effective in 2001
and, because Sun and its banks have not typically entered into derivative
contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes, is not
expected to have a material effect on its financial statements.
Page 8 of 20
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SUN COMMUNITY BANCORP LIMITED - CONTINUED
NOTE E - PROSPECTIVE IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET
ADOPTED - 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 Sun's financial statements.
NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In early July 1999, Sun completed an initial public offering of
1,650,000 shares of common stock at $16.00 per share. In that offering, Capitol
Bancorp Ltd., purchased 850,000 shares at the same share price as the public,
aggregating $13.6 million, maintaining its 51% ownership of Sun.

PART I, ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets approximated $198.1 million at June 30, 1999, an increase
of $62.5 million from the December 31, 1998 level of $135.6 million. The
consolidated balance sheets include Sun and its majority-owned subsidiaries. On
June 30, 1999, one newly formed bank, East Valley Community Bank in Chandler,
Arizona, was added to the consolidated group.
Portfolio loans increased during the six-month period by approximately
$51 million. Loan growth was funded primarily by higher levels of time deposits.
The majority of portfolio loan growth occurred in commercial loans, which
increased approximately $48.7 million, consistent with the banks' emphasis on
commercial lending activities.
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1999 approximated $1.2
million or 1.03% of total portfolio loans, a slight increase from the year-end
1998 ratio of 1.02%.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio
at the balance sheet date. Management's determination of the adequacy of the
allowance is based on evaluation of the portfolio (including volume, amount and
composition, potential impairment of individual loans and concentrations of
credit), past loss experience, current economic conditions, loan commitments
outstanding and other factors.
[The remainder of this page intentionally left blank]

minimum allowance for loan loss requirement.
Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 23.3% of total deposits at June
30, 1999, a decrease from the December 31, 1998 level of 28.4%. Levels of
noninterest-bearing deposits fluctuate based on customers' transaction activity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The net loss from operations (before cumulative effect of an accounting
change) for the six months ended June 30, 1999 approximated $401,000 ($(0.06)
per basic share), compared to net income of $268,000 ($0.09 per basic share)
earned during the corresponding period of 1998.
Operating results and total assets (in thousands) were as follows:

n/a Not applicable
(1) Camelback Community Bank, Southern Arizona Community Bank, Mesa Bank, and
Sunrise Bank of Arizona commenced operations in May, August, October and
December 1998, respectively.
(2) East Valley Community Bank commenced operations on June 30, 1999.
Net interest income increased 126.4% to $4.7 million during the six-month
1999 period versus $2.1 million in the corresponding period of 1998 primarily
due to growth in total assets and the number of banks within the consolidated
group.
Noninterest income increased to $266,000 for the 1999 six-month period, as
compared with $132,000 in 1998. Service charge revenue increased 120% in the
second quarter and 106% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the
same periods in 1998.
Provisions for loan losses were $535,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 compared to $111,000 during the 1998 period. The increase is primarily
related to loan growth in 1999 and the requirement for the banks to maintain an
allowance for loan losses of not less than 1% of loans outstanding for their
first three years of operations. The provisions for loan losses are based upon
management's analysis of the allowance for loan losses, as previously discussed.
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $5.3 million
compared with $1.7 million in 1998. The increase in noninterest expense is
associated with newly formed banks, growth and increases in general operating
costs. Increases in employee compensation and occupancy mostly relate to the
growth in number of banks within the consolidated group.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The principal funding source for asset growth and loan origination
activities is deposits. Total deposits increased $55.2 million for the six month
1999 period, compared to $25.7 million in 1998. Such growth occurred in all
deposit categories, with the majority from time deposits. The Corporation's
banks generally do not rely on brokered deposits as a key funding source.
Interim 1999 deposit growth was deployed primarily into commercial
loans, consistent with the banks' emphasis on commercial lending activities.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $55.3 million or 27.9% of total
assets at June 30, 1999 as compared with $48.4 million or 35.7% of total assets
at December 31, 1998. As liquidity levels vary continuously based on customer
activities, amounts of cash and cash equivalents can vary widely at any given
point in time. Management believes the banks' liquidity position at June 30,
1999 is adequate to fund loan demand and meet depositor needs.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents, a source of long-term
liquidity is the banks' marketable investment securities. Sun's liquidity
requirements have not historically necessitated the sale of investments in order
to meet liquidity needs. It also has not engaged in active trading of its
investments and has no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future. At June
30, 1999 Sun's banks had approximately $14.8 million of investment securities
classified as available for sale which can be utilized to meet various liquidity
needs as they arise.
In early July 1999, Sun completed an initial public offering of
1,650,000 shares of common stock at $16.00 per share. Of the offering, Capitol
Bancorp Ltd., purchased 850,000 shares, at the same share price as the public,
maintaining its 51% ownership of Sun.
Sun and its banks are subject to complex regulatory capital
requirements which require maintaining certain minimum capital ratios. These
ratio measurements, in addition to certain other requirements, are used by
regulatory agencies to determine the level of regulatory intervention and
enforcement applied to financial institutions. Sun and each of its banks are in
compliance with the regulatory requirements and management expects to maintain
such compliance.

Capital, as a percentage of total assets, approximated 13.04% at June
30, 1999, a decrease from the beginning of the year ratio of 19.64%. Total
capital funds (stockholders' equity, plus minority interests in consolidated
subsidiaries) aggregated $40.6 million or 20.5% of total assets at June 30,
1999. The following table summarizes the amounts and related ratios of
individually significant subsidiaries (assets of $30 million or more at the
beginning of 1999) and consolidated regulatory capital position at June 30,
1999:

Sun's operating strategy continues to be focused on the ongoing growth
and maturity of its existing banks, coupled with new bank expansion in selected
markets as opportunities arise. Accordingly, Sun may invest in or otherwise add
additional banks in future periods, subject to economic conditions and other
factors, although the timing of such additional banking units, if any, is
uncertain. Such future new banks and/or additions of other operating units could
be either wholly-owned, majority-owned or otherwise controlled by Sun. Plans to
form additional banks in the states of Arizona and Nevada were announced earlier
this year. At June 30, 1999, an application was pending for a new bank in
Nevada, Desert Community Bank, which opened on August 6, 1999.

YEAR 2000
The year 2000 issue confronting Sun and its suppliers, customers, and
competitors, centers on the inability of computer systems and embedded
technology to properly recognize dates near the end of and beyond the year 1999.
Sun has been actively implementing a comprehensive plan throughout 1998
and 1999, as required by bank regulatory guidelines, to address potential
impacts of the year 2000 issue on Sun's information technology (IT) and non-IT
systems. Sun's year 2000 plans are subject to modification and are revised
periodically as additional information is developed.
READINESS.
Sun has completed the inventory, assessment, remediation and planning
phases for its mission-critical IT and non-IT systems, which are those systems
that pose risks to Sun's ability to process data for its loans, deposits,
general ledger, revenues and operating results. Of the 17 mission-critical
systems, all have tested as being year 2000 compliant.
Sun recognizes that its ability to be year 2000 compliant is somewhat
dependent upon the year 2000 efforts of its vendors. Sun and its banks sent
questionnaires to its significant vendors in 1998. Follow-up letters requesting
additional information of the vendors' year 2000 readiness were sent when
necessary. All mission-critical vendors have responded to the questionnaires or
have otherwise represented that they are year 2000 compliant. Sun also routinely
monitors its nonmission-critical vendors to determine their level of year 2000
readiness.
Sun and its banks have been required by bank regulatory agencies to
update their customers on the banks' year 2000 compliance efforts. Letters and
informational brochures have been, and will continue to be, sent to customers
heightening their awareness of the year 2000 issue and notifying them of the
banks' efforts in addressing year 2000 issues. Compliance efforts are also
communicated to customers on their account statements and through brochures
available in bank lobbies.
Sun and its banks are also following regulatory requirements that
require an assessment of loan customers' year 2000 readiness. Letters and
questionnaires have been utilized to assess material loan customers' readiness
based on the size of their loan type. The number of existing customers that have
not responded to the letters and questionnaires is minimal. Follow-up letters or
phone calls are being made when necessary to obtain additional information from
these customers. Of those who have responded, all material customers represented
that they are year 2000 compliant or are working toward compliance. The number
of customers still working towards year 2000 compliance is minimal and, in Sun's
opinion, their inability to become compliant will not have a material adverse
effect on Sun's business or operating results. Sun and its banks also monitor
customers applying for new loans that exceed a certain dollar amount by
requiring a written representation that the customer is year 2000 compliant.
Page 16 of 20
WORST CASE SCENARIO AND CONTINGENCY PLANS.
Sun and its banks have determined the most reasonably likely worst case
scenario is the possibility of the lack of power or communication services for a
period of time in excess of one day. If this scenario were to occur, Sun and its
banks' operations could be interrupted. Sun and its banks have developed plans
and procedures to address this scenario, ranging from producing complete printed
reports from the core banking systems prior to January 1, 2000, to ensure that a
hard copy of the data is available in the event of a failure, to preparations
for failures of voice and data communications through the use of manual posting
and courier services, use of generators, alternative customer service locations
and/or reduced lobby hours.
Contingency planning, including the type discussed above, is an
integral part of Sun's year 2000 readiness plan. Sun's contingency plans address
alternative courses of action in the event that mission-critical systems do not
function properly with the date change. Development of the contingency plans was
recently completed. The year 2000 contingency plans will be tested during the
third and fourth quarters of 1999 to validate the effectiveness of contingent
procedures and refined as additional information becomes available.
COSTS.
The costs associated with Sun's year 2000 compliance are estimated at
approximately $500,000, of which approximately $400,000 has been incurred
through June 30, 1999. These costs principally relate to the added personnel
costs, the employment of external consultants, and the purchase of software
upgrades.
These estimated costs are part of Sun's information technology budget.
Sun's information technology staff and senior management have devoted
significant time and resources to year 2000 activities. While this has resulted
in allocating resources that would have otherwise been devoted to other
information technology projects, no projects have been delayed or postponed that
would have a material adverse impact on Sun or its banks' operations.
REGULATORY OVERSIGHT.
Bank regulators have issued numerous statements and guidance on year
2000 compliance issues and the responsibilities of senior management and
directors of banks and bank holding companies. In addition, the bank regulators
have issued safety and soundness guidelines to be followed by insured depository
institutions, including Sun and its banks, to ensure resolution of any year 2000
problems. Periodic year 2000 reviews are performed by various bank regulatory
agencies. Most of the recent examinations have been performed by the FDIC and it
is expected that the FDIC will continue its frequent examinations throughout
1999. The banking regulatory agencies have asserted that year 2000 testing and
certification is a key safety and soundness issue in conjunction with regulatory
examinations. Consequently, Sun's or its banks' failure to address appropriately
the year 2000 issue could result in supervisory action, including the reduction
of the banks' supervisory ratings, the denial of applications for expansion, or
the imposition of civil money penalties.
Page 17 of 20
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council maintains an
Internet site that lists financial institutions which have been subject to
enforcement actions relating to year 2000 readiness. As of July 31, 1999, none
of Sun's banks are subject to enforcement actions for year 2000 readiness.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
As discussed elsewhere herein, a new accounting standard requiring the
write-off of previously capitalized start-up and preopening costs was
implemented effective January 1, 1999. That standard requires that such costs be
charged to expense, when incurred, in future periods.
FASB Statement No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES requires all derivatives to be recognized in financial
statements and to be measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from
changes in fair value would be included in income, or in comprehensive income,
depending on whether the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting and the type
of hedging instrument involved. This new standard will become effective in 2001
and, because Sun and its banks have not typically entered into derivative
contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes, is not
expected to have a material effect on its financial statements.
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 Sun's financial statements.
