NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Capitol Bancorp Ltd. ("Capitol") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The statements do, however, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature (in accordance with

Rule 10-01(b)(8) of Regulation S-X) which Capitol considers necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

Note B - Implementation of New Accounting Standards

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, which is an amendment of Statement No. 140, intended to simplify the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities. Statement No. 156 is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006, although earlier adoption is permitted. The effect of the standard's adoption effective January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, tax positions are recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions will be measured initially and thereafter as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, presuming the tax authority has full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. FIN 48 also revises disclosure requirements to include disclosure of unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 did not have a material effect on Capitol's consolidated financial statements upon implementation effective January 1, 2007.

Note C - Stock Options

Stock option activity for the interim 2007 period is summarized as follows:

	Number of Stock Options Outstanding			Exercise Price Range		Weighted Average Exercise Price

Note E - New Banks and Other Development Activities

Capitol opened two de novo banks during the first three months of 2007. Bank of Tacoma, located in Tacoma, Washington, opened in January 2007, and Sunrise Community Bank, located in Palm Desert, California, opened in February 2007. Each is majority owned by bank-development subsidiaries controlled by Capitol.

Bank development efforts were currently under consideration at March 31, 2007 in several states including pre-development exploratory discussions, lease and employment negotiations and preparation of preliminary regulatory applications for formation and/or acquisition of community banks. As of March 31, 2007, Capitol had applications pending for additional de novo community banks in California, Colorado, New York, Oregon and Washington.

Capitol's operating strategy continues to be focused on the ongoing growth and maturity of its existing banks, coupled with new bank expansion in selected markets as opportunities arise. Accordingly, Capitol may invest in, acquire or otherwise develop additional banks in future periods, subject to economic conditions and other factors, although the timing of such additional banking units, if any, is uncertain. Such future new banks and/or additions of other operating units could be either wholly-owned, majority-owned or otherwise controlled by Capitol. Most recently, Capitol has recruited several regional bank development executives to pursue de novo and other bank development opportunities in certain regions of the United States where it seeks to expand in future periods.

Note F - Acquisition of Minority Interests

Effective February 9, 2007, Capitol completed a share exchange transaction which involved the issuance of approximately 371,000 shares of previously unissued common stock in exchange for the nonvoting shares of Capitol Development Bancorp Limited II. Total consideration for this transaction approximated $15.9 million with related goodwill approximating $8.5 million. If this transaction had occurred at the beginning of 2006, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 would have been $9.2 million ($0.56 per diluted share).

Note G - Impact of New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a definition of fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands related financial statement disclosures and will be effective for Capitol in 2008. Capitol's management has not completed its review of this new standard.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. Statement No. 159 will be applied prospectively and implemented by Capitol effective January 1, 2008. Management has not completed its analysis of this new standard.

Also recently, the FASB has issued several proposals to amend, supersede or interpret existing accounting standards which may impact Capitol's financial statements at a later date:

· Proposed amendment to Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share;  

· Proposed replacement of Statement No. 141 regarding Business Combinations; and  

· Proposed replacement of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 regarding Consolidated Financial Statements, Including Accounting and Reporting for Noncontrolling Interests.

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED - Continued

Note G - Impact of New Accounting Standards--Continued

Other proposals, interpretations of existing pronouncements or FASB staff positions have been recently issued which include the following:

· FASB FSP to require recalculation of leveraged leases if the timing of tax benefits affect cash flows; and

· EITF Issue No. 06-4 which addresses accounting for deferred compensation and post retirement benefits of endorsement split-dollar life insurance.

Capitol's management has not completed its analysis of this new guidance (as proposed, where applicable) although it anticipates the potential impact (if finalized, where applicable) would not be material to Capitol's consolidated 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 Capitol's consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

Financial Condition - Continued

Portfolio loans increased during the 2007 period by approximately $132 million, compared to net loan growth of about $78 million during the corresponding period of 2006. The majority of portfolio loan growth occurred in commercial loans, consistent with the banks' emphasis on commercial lending activities.

The consolidated allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007 approximated $47 million or 1.30% of total portfolio loans, consistent with the ratio at the beginning of the year, as asset quality ratios were stable in the first quarter of 2007.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluation of the portfolio (including potential impairment of individual loans and concentrations of credit), past loss experience, current economic conditions, volume, amount and composition of the loan portfolio and other factors. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and reduced by net charge-offs. The table below summarizes portfolio loan balances and activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods ended March 31 (in thousands):

	2007			2006
Allowance for loan losses at January 1	$	45,414		$	40,559
Loans charged-off:
Commercial		(2,444	)		(1,718	)
Real estate mortgage					(25	)
Installment		(193	)		(112	)
Total charge-offs		(2,637	)		(1,855	)
Recoveries:
Commercial		242			353
Real estate mortgage		1			1
Installment		100			86
Total recoveries		343			440
Net charge-offs		(2,294	)		(1,415	)
Additions to allowance charged to expense		3,932			2,456
Allowance for loan losses at March 31	$	47,052		$	41,600
Average total portfolio loans for period ended March 31	$	3,555,432		$	3,010,849
Ratio of net charge-offs (annualized) to average portfolio loans outstanding		0.26	%		0.19	%

Interim 2007 loan charge-offs, which increased compared to 2006, are not necessarily indicative of future charge-off levels because of the variability in asset quality and resolution of nonperforming loans. The increase in loan charge-offs and provision for loan losses in 2007 was associated primarily with Michigan banks, due to a challenging economic environment.

The amounts of the allowance for loan losses allocated in the following table (dollars in thousands) 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:

			Percentage					Percentage
			of Total					of Total
			Portfolio					Portfolio
	Amount		Loans			Amount		Loans

Total portfolio loans outstanding	$	3,620,981				$	3,488,678

Nonperforming loans (i.e., loans which are 90 days or more past due and loans on nonaccrual status) and other nonperforming assets are summarized below (in thousands):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2007		2006
Nonaccrual loans:
Commercial	$	27,764	$	25,219
Real estate mortgage		3,225		3,609
Installment		1,003		898
Total nonaccrual loans		31,992		29,726
Past due (>90 days) loans:
Commercial		4,376		3,860
Real estate mortgage		314		523
Installment		77		165
Total past due loans		4,767		4,548
Total nonperforming loans	$	36,759	$	34,274
Real estate owned and other repossessed assets		9,114		9,478
Total nonperforming assets	$	45,873	$	43,752

Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2007 were 1.02% of total portfolio loans, an increase from the corresponding 2006 ratio of 0.87% and a slight increase from the December 31, 2006 ratio of 0.98%. The substantial majority of nonperforming loans at those dates were located in Michigan. Of the nonperforming loans at March 31, 2007, about 70% were real estate secured. Those loans, when originated, had appropriate loan-to-value ratios and, accordingly, have loss exposure which is expected to be minimal; however, underlying real estate values depend upon current economic conditions and liquidation strategies. Most other nonperforming loans were generally secured by other business assets. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2007 were in various stages of resolution for which management believes such loans are adequately collateralized or otherwise appropriately considered in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

In addition to the identification of nonperforming loans involving borrowers with payment performance difficulties (i.e., nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more), management utilizes an internal loan review process to identify other potential problem loans which may warrant additional monitoring or other attention. This loan review process is a continuous activity which periodically updates internal loan ratings. At inception, all loans are individually assigned a rating which grades the credits on a risk basis, based on the type and discounted value of collateral, financial strength of the borrower and guarantors and other factors such as nature of the borrower's business climate, local economic conditions and other subjective factors. The loan rating process is fluid and subjective.

Potential problem loans include loans which are generally performing as agreed; however, because of loan reviews and/or lending staff's risk assessment, increased monitoring is deemed appropriate. In addition, some loans are assigned a more adverse classification, with specific performance issues or other risk factors requiring close management and development of specific remedial action plans.

At March 31, 2007, potential problem loans (including the previously-mentioned nonperforming loans) approximated $156 million, or about 4.3% of total consolidated portfolio loans, compared to approximately $146 million or about 4.2% at December 31, 2006. 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 has considered these loans in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes, however, that current general economic conditions in some markets may result in higher levels of future loan losses in comparison to previous years, as noted in the first three months of 2007.

Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $6.3 million, a decrease of 37% over the same period in 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the three-month 2007 period were $0.36 compared to $0.61 for the prior year period, a 41% decrease. Decreased earnings resulted from muted bank performance in each of Capitol’s regions, resulting from margin compression and the continuing challenging economic environment for its Michigan banks.

Net interest income for the first three months of 2007 totaled $44.7 million, an 8% increase compared to $41.4 million in 2006. This increase is attributable to the banks' growth in size and the increased number of affiliate banks.

In a changing interest-rate environment, rates of interest on loans reprice more rapidly than interest rates paid on deposits. In 2006, net interest margins increased in concert with actions by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors to increase market rates of interest. As the Federal Reserve Board's most recent actions have held rates steady, interest rates on deposits have increased (again, as a lagging impact of earlier Federal Reserve Board action), reducing net interest margins. Net interest margin approximated 4.67% for the first three months of 2007, a decrease compared to 4.82% for the three months ended December 31, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the consolidated net interest margin approximated 5.06%, although the margin briefly increased in later 2006. It is difficult to speculate on future changes in net interest margin. Compression in net interest margin has resulted not only from higher rates of interest paid on deposits and competitive rates on loans, but a shift from noninterest-bearing deposits to interest-bearing deposits.

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $5.6 million, an increase of $475,000, or 9%, over the same period in 2006. The increase for the three-month 2007 period was due primarily to higher levels of gains on sale of government-guaranteed loans. Fees from origination of non-portfolio residential mortgage loans totaled $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts in the three-month 2007 period increased slightly compared to 2006.

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period in 2007 was $3.9 million, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2006. Provisions for loan losses increased in the 2007 period in response to higher levels of loan charge-offs and portfolio growth. The provisions for loan losses are based upon management's analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, as previously discussed.

Noninterest expense totaled $41.8 million for the first quarter of 2007, as compared to $31.8 million for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in noninterest expense is associated with adding two new banks in early 2007 and eight banks which were added in 2006 after March, growth in the size of previously-existing banks and increases in general operating costs. Increases in both occupancy and salaries and employee benefits relate primarily to the growth in the size of the mature banks within the consolidated group, the development of Capitol's wealth management unit and the addition of ten de novo banks. The more significant elements of other noninterest expense consisted of the following (in thousands):

On a linked-quarter basis (i.e., comparison of first quarter 2007 to fourth quarter 2006), salaries and employee benefits increased about 7% and total noninterest expense increased about 2.5%, exclusive of adjustments to year-end accruals which reduced compensation expense primarily relating to loan origination costs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The principal funding source for asset growth and loan origination activities is deposits. Total deposits increased $133.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to a $153 million increase in the corresponding period of 2006. Growth occurred in most interest-bearing deposit categories, with the majority coming from certificate of deposit accounts. Capitol's banks generally do not significantly rely on brokered deposits as a key funding source. Brokered deposits approximated $411 million as of March 31, 2007, or about 12% of total deposits, an increase of $58 million during the interim 2007 period, as the banks have sought to add these funds selectively based on maturity and interest-rate opportunities, to aid in matching repricing of funding sources and assets.

Noninterest-bearing deposits approximated 18% of total deposits at March 31, 2007, a slight decrease from 20% at December 31, 2006. Levels of noninterest-bearing deposits can, however, fluctuate based on customers' transaction activity. The change in noninterest-bearing deposits was particularly significant during the three months ended March 31, 2007. During this period, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $35.6 million and remained relatively unchanged during the 2006 period. Also during the 2007 period, interest-bearing accounts increased about $169.2 million, resulting in net deposit growth of approximately $133.5 million, which closely paralleled loan growth for the period. Because of the larger growth in interest-bearing deposits, coupled with higher rates on those balances, net interest margins have been reduced.

Interim 2007 deposit growth was deployed primarily into commercial loans, consistent with the banks' emphasis on commercial lending activities.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $407.6 million or 10% of total assets at March 31, 2007, compared with $349 million, or 9% of total assets at December 31, 2006. 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 March 31, 2007 is adequate to fund loan demand and meet depositor needs.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, a source of long-term liquidity is the banks' marketable investment securities. Liquidity needs have not historically necessitated the sale of investments in order to meet funding requirements. The banks have not engaged in active trading of their investments. At March 31, 2007, Capitol's banks had approximately $16 million of investment securities classified as available for sale which can be utilized to meet various liquidity needs as they arise.

Several of Capitol's banks have secured lines of credit with regional Federal Home Loan Banks. Borrowings thereunder approximated $172 million and additional borrowing capacity approximated $401 million at March 31, 2007. These facilities are used from time to time as a lower-cost funding source versus various rates and maturities of time deposits. Total notes payable and short-term borrowings were $173 million at March 31, 2007. At March 31, 2007, Capitol had unused lines of credit from an unrelated financial institution aggregating $25 million.

Stockholders' equity, as a percentage of total assets, approximated 9% at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

During March 2007, Capitol participated in two private placement offerings of pooled trust preferred securities, aggregating $55 million. Proceeds from this additional capital will be used for bank development and other corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2007, Capitol’s total capital funds approximated $661.7 million or 15.6% of total assets.

Capitol and its banks are subject to complex regulatory capital requirements, which require maintaining certain minimum capital ratios. These ratio measurements, in addition to certain other requirements, are used by regulatory agencies to determine the level of regulatory intervention and enforcement applied to financial institutions. Management believes Capitol and each of its banks are in compliance with regulatory requirements and are expected to maintain such compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

Trends Affecting Operations

One of the most significant trends which can impact the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions are changes in market rates of interest.

Changes in interest rates, either up or down, have an impact on net interest income (plus or minus), depending on the direction and timing of such changes. At any point in time, there is a difference 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.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, which influences interest rates, has not changed interbank borrowing rates during the interim 2007 period (rates were increased twice in 2006) and expressed concerns about a variety of economic conditions, as well as mixed messages on the direction of future interest rates. Home mortgage rates have recently increased compared to recent years and residential real estate markets have cooled in various regions, which adversely impacts fee income from the origination of residential mortgages. Many of Capitol's banks' commercial loans are variable-rate and, accordingly, rate increases may result in higher interest income to Capitol in the near term; however, depositors will similarly expect higher rates of interest on their accounts, potentially offsetting much of the benefit of rising interest rates. The future outlook on interest rates and their impact on Capitol's interest income, interest expense and net interest income is uncertain.

Start-up banks generally incur operating losses during their early periods of operations. Start-up banks formed in 2007 and beyond may similarly negatively impact profitability.

General economic conditions also have a significant impact on both the results of operations and the financial condition of financial institutions. As mentioned previously, general economic conditions within the state of Michigan continue to have an effect on Capitol’s banks and their customers in what has been described in the media as a one-state recession. It is likely that, absent significant catalysts, Michigan’s economic recovery may take an extended period of time.

Media reports raising questions about the health of the domestic economy have continued in 2007. During the interim 2007 period, nonperforming assets have increased; however, it is difficult to predict future movements in levels of nonperforming assets and related loan losses as economic conditions, locally and nationally, evolve.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

There are several new accounting standards either becoming effective or being issued in 2007. They are listed and discussed in Notes B and G of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

 Capitol's critical accounting policies are described on pages F-29 - F-31 of the financial section of its 2006 Annual Report. In the circumstances of Capitol, management believes its "critical accounting policies" are those which encompass the use of estimates in determining the allowance for loan losses (because of inherent subjectivity), accounting for stock options, goodwill and other intangibles (due to inherent subjectivity in evaluating potential impairment) and consolidation policy.

PART I, ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT

MARKET RISK

Information about Capitol's quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk were included in Capitol's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Capitol does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of market risk exposure, except as noted in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section herein (Part I, Item 2), under the caption, "Trends Affecting Operations."

PART I, ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Capitol maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information Capitol must disclose in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. Capitol's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated Capitol's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, Capitol's disclosure controls and procedures, in all material respects, are effective in bringing to their attention on a timely basis material information relating to Capitol required to be included in Capitol's periodic filings under the Exchange Act.

No change in Capitol's internal control over financial reporting occurred during Capitol's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect Capitol's internal control over financial reporting.
