Management's Discussion and Analysis of Capitol's Business,

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Summary and Overview

This section of the Annual Report is intended to discuss, from management's perspective, matters of importance regarding Capitol's operations, financial position and other matters which have a significant effect on Capitol, its business and its banks.  This narrative includes comments about future events and other forward-looking statements, and readers are advised to carefully read the cautionary statement about forward-looking statements which is on page F-6 of this Annual Report.

Capitol operates community banks in a wide variety of markets in eight states, and operates in one business segment, community banking.  Capitol's banks are staffed with banking professionals, serving customers who desire professional banking services delivered personally.

Financial Restructuring Plan

On June 22, 2012, Capitol announced the commencement of a voluntary restructuring plan designed to facilitate Capitol's objective of converting existing debt to equity and with the primary objectives of enhancing capital levels, improving liquidity and accelerating Capitol's return to profitability.  The initiative includes the opportunity to preserve Capitol's substantial deferred tax assets.

Under the restructuring plan, which was approved by Capitol's board of directors and reviewed with Capitol's primary regulators, existing debt holders were asked to exchange their debt securities for both preferred and common stock of the Corporation (the "Exchange Offer").  Simultaneously, Capitol solicited votes from all debt and equity holders for a prepackaged plan of reorganization (the "Standby Plan") for Capitol and its affiliate, Financial Commerce Corporation ("FCC", formerly known as Michigan Commerce Bancorp Limited), to be commenced in the event that the Exchange Offer was not successful or Capitol believed the transactions contemplated by the Standby Plan to be in the best interests of all stakeholders.  The Standby Plan contemplates the conversion of all current trust-preferred security holders, unsecured senior note holders, current preferred equity shareholders and current common equity shareholders into new classes of common stock, which will retain approximately 53% of the voting control and value of the restructured company.  Capitol has also been actively seeking to identify external capital sources sufficient to restore all affiliate institutions to "well-capitalized" status in exchange for approximately 47% of the restructured Corporation, which is a critical component of the likelihood of success of the Standby Plan.

When the trust-preferred securities were originally issued, and until December 31, 2010, substantially all of those securities comprised a crucial element of Capitol's compliance with regulatory capital requirements because they were a material component of regulatory capital.  As a result of Capitol's weakened financial condition and changes to banking regulations affecting its ability (as well as that of other bank holding companies in the United States) to include any portion of these securities in regulatory capital computations, none of these

F-10

securities are currently included in the Corporation's regulatory capital measurements.  The restructuring initiatives will facilitate the conversion of Capitol's trust-preferred securities to equity and represent an efficient opportunity to strengthen the composition of Capitol's capital base by increasing its Tier 1 common and tangible common equity ratios, while also reducing the dividend and interest expense associated with these securities.  By increasing its common equity component, and successfully completing the capital raise component of the plan, Capitol expects to have increased capital flexibility to continue to support its community banking platform, strategically take advantage of select market opportunities and implement its long-term strategies.

The Exchange Offer and voting on the Standby Plan expired on July 27, 2012.  The results were overwhelmingly in support of the Standby Plan.  All classes voted to accept the Standby Plan with all votes substantially exceeding the required thresholds for a successful solicitation.  The conditions were not satisfied for the exchange offers to the existing debt holders.

Accordingly, on August 9, 2012, Capitol and FCC proceeded with filing a voluntary joint prepackaged bankruptcy petition (the "Joint Plan of Reorganization") in order to restructure its debt and streamline its capital structure.  Capitol's banking subsidiaries were not part of the filing and continue to conduct business on an uninterrupted basis.  Capitol was also granted a motion by the Court requiring that trading in the Corporation's senior notes, trust-preferred securities, preferred stock and common stock be restricted to preserve certain of its deferred tax assets.

The Joint Plan of Reorganization provides for the restructuring of Capitol's and FCC's liabilities in a manner designed to maximize recoveries to all creditors and to enhance the financial stability of the reorganized debtors while simultaneously raising new capital from outside investors which can be immediately deployed into the reorganized debtor's subsidiary banks, thus avoiding the disastrous consequences that would result from the seizure of any subsidiary bank.  Specifically, the Joint Plan of Reorganization restructures Capitol's senior notes, trust-preferred securities, Series A preferred stock and common stock and leaves unimpaired the rights of all other claim holders.  The Joint Plan of Reorganization also contemplates an equity infusion of at least $70 million and up to $115 million which would be pursuant to a separate equity commitment agreement to be entered into by Capitol and certain third-party investors prior to the date on which the Joint Plan of Reorganization becomes effective.

It is important at the outset to emphasize the limited dimensions of this process:

· No banking subsidiary of Capitol or their respective depositors will be affected in any way.  Each subsidiary bank continues to operate and its customers' deposits remain insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC.  Banks themselves cannot file for reorganization, but bank holding companies can use the reorganization process under federal law.  Capitol and FCC are bank holding companies, not banks.

F-11

· Subject to the approval of the Court, all of Capitol's general unsecured creditors will be paid in full in order to maintain the regular course of business at the Corporation's subsidiary banks, as uninterrupted service at the subsidiary bank level is critical to the success of the recapitalization efforts.  A loss of customer confidence in the safety of their deposits would have disastrous consequences for the Corporation.

Financial Statement Impact of Emergence from Bankruptcy

Upon approval and exit from bankruptcy, Capitol's financial statements will be impacted significantly in accordance with "Fresh-Start Accounting" rules.  Under these accounting and reporting rules:

· Assets are marked to estimated fair value.  The difference between the carrying value of loans, investments and other financial assets before fresh-start accounting (including allowance for loan losses) and the estimated fair value as recorded in fresh-start accounting will be accreted/amortized to interest income over the estimated life of the assets.  This prospective accounting will result in a reduced level of loan charge-offs compared to historic results due to the adjustment of loan balances and concurrent elimination of the allowance for loan losses under fresh-start accounting.

· Liabilities, including debt, will also be marked to estimated fair value.  The difference between the carrying value of deposits, debt and other financial liabilities before the emergence date and the estimated fair value at the emergence date as recorded in fresh-start accounting will be accreted/amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the liabilities or debt.

· All equity held by stockholders prior to emergence from bankruptcy will be cancelled and retained-earnings deficits eliminated.  Upon emergence, new common equity will be issued to certain debt holders.

Assuming completion of the Joint Plan of Reorganization by June 30, 2013, Capitol's consolidated financial statements as of that date will reflect the assets and liabilities of Capitol, inclusive of adjustments for fresh-start accounting.  The consolidated financial statements will also include a Statement of Operations and a Statement of Comprehensive Income for (1) the period from January 1, 2013 until the date of emergence from bankruptcy and (2) the period from the date of emergence until June 30, 2013.

Capitol's Approach to Community Banking

Each bank began as a single-location office, led by a bank president and a team of banking professionals with significant local experience, overseen by an independent board of directors composed of business leaders drawn from the local community.  Generally, each bank has significant on-site authority to make decisions which directly affect the customer, such as credit approval and the pricing and structure of both loans and deposits.  The philosophy of

F-12

banking as a profession is key to Capitol's model where its banks' customers seek relationships with banking professionals to meet their needs, as opposed to transaction-oriented financial institutions pushing financial products at customers and emphasizing market share.

With Capitol's customer-focused professional banking model, bank development on a national scale has been a natural extension of this business philosophy.  Bank development consists of management and oversight of banks in which Capitol has a direct or indirect controlling interest and, through mid-2008, included formation of start-up banks.  Capitol's banks were formed with a portion of their start-up capital provided by local investors in the communities of those banks.

Notably, 'market size' is not a strategic factor in Capitol's approach to community banking.  Rather, the critical factor is 'people'.  Capitol has recognized from its beginning that its banking focus is, and always will be, a people business.  Its banks are small in market stature in relation to their competitors, emphasizing personalized banking relationships.

Capitol's community bank model, in a stable economic environment, is intended to maintain a scalable, low overhead structure focused on delivering return-on-equity results, while empowering its individual banks with operating autonomy in all areas impacting the customer relationship.  Capitol's centralized 'back-office' functions, which support the banks, are capable of adjusting coverage in concert with the evolution of its banking subsidiaries.

Capitol's relationship with its banks is multidimensional as an investor, mentor and service provider.  As an investor, Capitol closely monitors the financial performance of its bank subsidiaries.  This mentoring role of providing assistance and guidance when and where necessary to help enhance bank performance is most important for its youngest affiliates where additional guidance is needed.  As a service provider, Capitol provides efficient back-office support services which can be performed centrally for all of its banks and which do not involve a direct interface with the bank customer, such as:

·          Accounting and taxation services

·          Management reporting and budgeting

·          Asset/liability management and reporting

·          Capital management

·          Credit administration support

·          Data processing

·          Human resources administration

·          Internal audit

·          Legal support

·          Regulatory compliance and risk management

Some of these functions are performed nationally from a single location, while others are performed regionally, where it is more efficient to have personnel located geographically based on their respective responsibilities in relation to the physical location of the banks.

Changes to Capitol's Community Banking Network and Financial Position

Like many community banks, Capitol's banking affiliates have been impacted by the recent national recession and declines in real estate values.  Capitol's consolidated financial position has been significantly adversely affected by large net losses in 2012, 2011 and 2010.  The net losses resulted primarily from especially large provisions for loan losses and significantly elevated maintenance and collateral protection costs associated with foreclosed properties and other real estate owned.  Those net losses resulted in an equity-deficit as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and a regulatory-capital classification of less than "adequately-capitalized."  In addition, numerous banking subsidiaries of Capitol have regulatory capital classifications as "undercapitalized" or "significantly-undercapitalized" at December 31, 2012, due to significant operating losses and capital infusions from Capitol in amounts insufficient to improve their regulatory classification and compliance with the terms of various regulatory enforcement actions between the banks and/or Capitol and their respective regulatory agencies.

Capitol and its affiliates continue ongoing capital preservation efforts, including expense reductions and infrastructure adjustments.  For instance, Capitol has merged or divested 52 community banks since 2009.  In 2010 through 2012, significant reductions in compensation costs were recognized through efforts which began in 2009 to combine certain banking subsidiaries and reduce staffing.  To further streamline bank operations and reduce expenses, Capitol had also consolidated some of its individual bank charters regionally and has plans for potential further charter-consolidation activities in 2013.

In mid-2009, as part of its capital strategies and restructuring activities, Capitol announced plans to selectively divest some of its banks as a means to raise additional capital and redeploy capital resources to its remaining banks.  Thirteen bank divestitures were completed prior to 2011, eight bank divestitures and one branch sale were completed during 2011 and four divestitures were completed in 2012.  A few additional divestiture transactions have been announced and are expected to be completed in 2013, subject to regulatory approval and other contingencies.

These changes and structural matters are discussed in further detail later in this narrative.

Capitol's Results of Operations

For 2012, the net loss attributable to Capitol approximated $25.5 million ($0.62 per share) compared to $45.4 million ($1.17 per share) in 2011 and $225.2 million ($11.16 per share) in 2010.  As previously mentioned, Capitol incurred net losses related primarily to significant provisions for loan losses and costs associated with foreclosed properties and other real estate owned.  Further, in 2010, a goodwill impairment charge of $55.8 million was recorded (excluding discontinued operations).

Operating losses were incurred in 2012 at banks located within all regions except the Great Lakes Region.  The largest banking affiliate, Michigan Commerce Bank, returned to profitability in 2012 after experiencing significant losses in 2011 and 2010.  Operating results of the Great Lakes-based group of banks amounted to net income of $479,000 in 2012, compared to a net loss of $21.6 million in 2011 and $82.8 million in 2010.

Capitol's other banks showed similar signs of improvement when compared to 2011 and 2010, despite most posting net losses in 2012.  Losses continue to be primarily the result of compressed net interest margins, elevated costs associated with foreclosure activities and other real estate owned properties, and management of nonperforming loans.

Most of the amounts discussed in this narrative are based upon the "continuing operations" of Capitol and its consolidated banking subsidiaries.  Results of operations for 2011 and 2010 in this report have been adjusted to reflect 2012 sales of banking subsidiaries as "discontinued operations" in order to present operating results on a comparable basis.

The principal revenue sources for Capitol's banks is interest income from loans, noninterest income comprised primarily of service charges on deposit accounts, fees on trust and wealth management accounts, fees on the origination of loans, and gains on the sale of residential mortgage and government-guaranteed commercial loans.  Net interest income is the total of all interest income less interest expense and is an important measure used to help determine the amount of net operating revenue for financial institutions.  Net operating revenue is the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

Net interest income totaled $57.9 million in 2012, a 4.3% decrease from the $60.5 million reported in 2011.  Net interest income also decreased during 2011 and 2010 by 6.4% and 13.0%, respectively.  The declining trend in net interest income has resulted from a reduction in interest earning assets but has been mitigated somewhat by increased yield on average loans, decreased cost of average deposits and a reduction in nonperforming assets.  The mitigating factors described above have caused net interest margin to gradually improve to 3.48% in 2012, as compared to 2.93% for 2011 and 2.50% for 2010.  Beginning in the third quarter of 2012, consolidated net interest income and net interest margin also benefited from the suspension of interest accrual on trust-preferred securities.  Continued reduction in nonperforming loans and normalization of on-balance sheet liquidity, if the risk profiles of the banks improve, should result in additional net interest margin improvement.

During 2012, net interest income exceeded the provision for loan losses by $56.4 million, a significant improvement compared to $24.9 million in 2011.  During 2010, provision for loan losses exceeded net interest income by $77.6 million.  The provision for loan losses approximated $1.5 million, $35.6 million and $142.2 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The provision for loan losses in 2012 decreased by $34.2 million, or 95.9%, from 2011.  The decline is reflective of overall improvement in the loan portfolio's performance, as Capitol experienced signs of stabilizing real estate values and moderately improving levels of economic activity.  The lower provision for loan losses is also a result of a $308.5 million decrease in the overall loan portfolio from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012 due to

F-17

tepid loan demand.  The amount of the provision for loan losses is determined based on management's analysis of amounts necessary for the allowance for loan losses which is discussed in greater detail later in the Capitol's Financial Position section of this narrative.

Total consolidated net operating revenues decreased to approximately $74.8 million in 2012, compared to $100.5 million in 2011 and $85.6 million in 2010.  Noninterest income for these years was $16.9 million, $40.0 million and $21.0 million, respectively.  Noninterest income was influenced by the following infrequent events in 2011 and 2010; in 2011, Capitol recorded a $16.9 million gain on exchange of trust-preferred securities (see Note K to the consolidated financial statements).  In 2010, Capitol realized a gain on exchange of promissory notes for common stock of $1.3 million.  When excluding each of these gains, noninterest income decreased 27.0% in 2012 compared to 2011, and increased 17.3% in 2011 compared to 2010.

Service charges on deposit accounts remained stable at approximately $2.5 million in 2012, compared with $2.7 million in 2011 and $3.0 million in 2010.  Revenue from trust and wealth management activities decreased about $288,000 in 2012, or 9%, compared to 2011, following a decrease of 23% in 2011 and 15% in 2010.  Large decreases in this revenue source in 2011 and 2010 were the result of lower levels of client account balances in the midst of an uncertain economic environment and declines in the value of Capitol's common stock which is held in many fee-based accounts.

Due to the nature of other categories of noninterest income, including gain on the sales of government-guaranteed loans, the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans, and other service fee income, amounts can vary significantly from year to year depending on interest rates, business opportunities and other factors.

Noninterest expense totaled $98.0 million, $121.2 million and $151.3 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, exclusive of goodwill impairment charges of $55.8 million in 2010 (none in 2012 and 2011).  Such expenses decreased 19.2% in 2012 and 19.9% in 2011, exclusive of the charges related to goodwill impairment.  As previously mentioned, in mid-2009 and continuing through 2012, as part of its capital strategies and restructuring activities, Capitol selectively divested of many of its banks as a means to redeploy capital resources to the remaining banks.  These restructuring activities also necessitated adjustments to Capitol's infrastructure and resulted in operating expense reductions.  Capitol continued to preserve capital in 2012 by undertaking additional cost containment measures and further downsizing of its infrastructure as 52 community banks were either merged or divested of since 2009.  Salary and employee benefit expenses have decreased significantly as Capitol has made infrastructure and operational changes at both the bank and corporate level.  Other components of noninterest expense associated with Capitol's infrastructure and operations, such as occupancy and equipment rental and maintenance costs, remained stable in 2012 but decreased in 2011, commensurate with bank mergers and divestitures.  Primarily as a result of reduced nonperforming assets, costs associated with foreclosed properties and other real estate owned decreased $11.3 million in 2012 and $10.0 million in 2011.

F-18

After performing an annual review for potential goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of 2010, Capitol concluded that all of its recorded goodwill (approximately $64.5 million, including $8.7 million from discontinued operations) was deemed to be impaired.  Accordingly, such amount was written off as of December 31, 2010.

With the exception of 2010, which included the aforementioned goodwill impairment charge, the largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which approximated $41.3 million, $46.8 million and $55.1 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Salaries and employee benefits decreased $5.4 million, or 11.6%, in 2012, $8.3 million, or 15.1%, in 2011 and $13.2 million, or 19.3%, in 2010.  As previously mentioned, employee compensation costs decreased through employee attrition and as a result of Capitol's efforts to streamline staffing at its bank and corporate offices, as well as through the mergers of banking subsidiaries in Capitol's larger markets.

Occupancy costs fluctuated within a narrow range in 2012 and 2010 and decreased $2.1 million, or 18.0%, in 2011.  Equipment rent, depreciation and maintenance expense decreased $1.7 million (24.1%) in 2012, $1.2 million (14.0%) in 2011 and $7.9 million (48.6%) in 2010, primarily related to certain lease-related costs incurred in 2009 which had resulted in an increase of about 77% in that year.

Costs associated with foreclosed properties and other real estate owned declined during 2012 to $17.0 million, compared to $28.3 million in 2011 and $38.3 million in 2010.  The decrease in these costs was attributed primarily to a reduction in the overall level of other real estate owned, fewer and smaller valuation adjustments associated with other real estate owned due to the gradual stabilization in values in several geographical areas, and reduced holding costs.  Since its peak in 2009 of over $102 million, the level of other real estate owned has declined to $81.0 million at December 31, 2012.

Prior to April 1, 2011, FDIC insurance premiums ranged from .07% to .78% of average domestic deposits, depending on an institution's risk classification and other factors.  Effective April 1, 2011, banks were assessed FDIC insurance premiums based on net assets (defined by the FDIC for assessment purposes as quarter-to-date average daily total assets less the corresponding amount of Tier 1 capital) rather than based on average deposits.  Currently, base assessment rates range from .05% to .35% of net assets and may be adjusted for certain factors.  Future assessment rates and methodology are difficult to predict.  Capitol's FDIC insurance premiums and other regulatory fees amounted to $6.3 million in 2012, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 28.5%, compared to 2011.  These costs decreased $4.2 million during 2011 and increased $2.3 million during 2010.  The recent reduction in costs resulted from a steady decline in both total deposits and assets.

The more significant elements of other noninterest expense consisted of the following (in $1,000s):

Total	$	18,377	$	20,599	$	24,908

Professional fees related to management of problem loans declined in 2012.  However, total professional fees, including attorney and accounting fees, increased in 2012 due largely to costs directly associated with the Corporation's research, planning, and implementation of its Exchange Offer and Standby Plan for financial restructuring incurred prior to the bankruptcy filing date.  Professional and attorney fees related to the restructuring incurred after the bankruptcy filing date are included in reorganization items in the consolidated financial statements.  Professional services fees declined in 2011 compared to 2010, due to lower levels of nonperforming assets, reduced foreclosures and fewer bank divestitures.  With the exception of insurance expense, which increased in 2011 compared to 2010 due to increased other real estate owned property insurance costs, most other components of noninterest expense detailed above have declined for two consecutive years.  The declining trend is commensurate with ongoing cost containment efforts, staffing reductions and streamlining of operations, as previously discussed.  The largest decline was in directors' fees which decreased $631,000 in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily as a result of the election in early 2012 by Capitol's directors to waive payment of such fees.

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, an income tax benefit from continuing operations of $152,000, $3.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively, was recognized, related primarily to the intraperiod allocation of income tax expense associated with the gain on sale of bank subsidiaries and the reversal of related income tax valuation allowances associated with the sale of these bank subsidiaries included in discontinued operations.  In 2011, Capitol recorded additional income tax expense in the amount of $6.5 million for a liability pertaining to expense deductions as a result of an Internal Revenue Service examination of a prior year.  The examination concluded in 2012 and the liability was determined to be $6.4 million.  A valuation allowance equal to deferred income tax assets was maintained at December 31, 2012 ($190.5 million), based on management's assessment of the realizability of such assets not meeting the requisite more-likely-than-not criteria.  The valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets may reduce income tax expense requirements to the extent of Capitol's profitability in future periods.

F-20

Income from discontinued operations declined for the past two years due to fewer bank divestitures occurring in each year. Gain on sales of banks of $143,000, $5.5 million and $15.8 million were realized in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Pending bank divestiture activity is discussed later in this narrative.

Capitol's Financial Position

Consolidated total assets decreased to $1.6 billion in 2012 from $2.2 billion at the end of 2011.  The 2012 decrease in total assets resulted primarily from Capitol's previously mentioned divestitures of bank subsidiaries, infrastructure downsizing and ongoing efforts to deleverage its consolidated balance sheet through reductions in portfolio loans and borrowings.

Most of the amounts discussed in this narrative are based upon the "continuing operations" of Capitol and its consolidated bank subsidiaries.  Asset and liability balances as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 have been adjusted to reflect recent sales of banking subsidiaries as "discontinued operations" in order to present Capitol's financial position on a comparable basis.

Key to the balance sheet of Capitol is an understanding of its capital position in terms of stated amounts (including any deficit amounts), regulatory capital levels and ratios and the regulatory classification of Capitol and its banking subsidiaries based upon those amounts and ratios, and liquidity (cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2012.  Those important elements are discussed in a later section of this narrative, Liquidity, Capital Resources and Capital Adequacy.

Relative to Capitol's financial position, as shown on its consolidated balance sheet, the single largest asset category is portfolio loans.  Accordingly, the narrative in this section is devoted primarily to loans and related aspects of asset quality.

Net portfolio loans (total portfolio loans after deducting the allowance for loan losses) approximated $1.1 billion at December 31, 2012 and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2011 (excluding discontinued operations).  These amounts approximated 70.6% of total consolidated assets (excluding discontinued operations) at December 31, 2012 and 73.2% at December 31, 2011.  The decrease in net portfolio loans during 2012 was the result of normal amortization of the loan portfolio and resolutions of troubled or adversely graded loans.  The decline was consistent with Capitol's efforts to deleverage its balance sheet by its discontinued operations and to preserve liquidity and capital to the extent reasonably possible.

Capitol's banking subsidiaries have focused on offering commercial loans, consistent with their emphasis on lending to local entrepreneurs, professional service firms and other businesses.  All of Capitol's banks use a common credit policy; however, credit decisions are made locally at the banks.  Utilization of an enterprise-wide credit policy has several key benefits, such as providing procedural guidance to the banks in the following areas:

·  Loan underwriting and documentation;

·  Credit-granting authority;

·  Acceptable collateral and loan structuring;

F-21

·  Loan participations amongst bank affiliates or external funding sources when proposals exceed an individual bank's limitations;

·  Collections and workouts;

·  Troubled debt restructuring;

·  Documentation, methodology, process and evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; and

·  Establishing corporate credit administration resources to aid the banks when requested or needed.

General underwriting policies on all construction, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans include analyzing and documenting:

·  Borrower and project financial data;

·  Contingent liabilities and related cash flows;

·  Adequacy of liquidity and the components of borrowers' and guarantors' net worth;

·  Historic and projected cash flow data, including debt service and vacancy rate sensitivity analysis;

·  Character and credit history of borrowers and guarantors, and ability of management regarding the borrower's enterprise;

·  Appraisal market valuation, evaluation of local market conditions and related volatility; and

·  Proposed use of loan proceeds and potential future uses of the property (for loans secured by real estate).

Additional lending requirements include regulatory loan-to-value guidelines, which are calculated based on current appraised value for loans that finance properties acquired by the borrower.

Variable-rate commercial loans are preferred in the current low interest rate environment.  Most variable-rate commercial loans have stated minimum interest rates and are underwritten with ongoing evaluation, including stress testing the borrower's repayment ability in an increasing rate environment.  Since substantially all residential mortgage loan origination volume is underwritten to secondary-market standards and sold into those markets without recourse, Capitol and its banks have no material exposure to hybrid loans such as option-ARMs or subprime credits.

As part of the banks' emphasis on commercial lending, commercial real estate has been sought as the primary source of collateral where possible.  This emphasis on commercial real estate as collateral has been a consistent practice of Capitol and its banks from their earliest days of operation, based on the use of appropriate loan-to-value ratios at the time of loan origination, avoidance of large real estate development projects and the belief that, even in volatile economies, commercial real estate historically tends to experience substantially less loss potential than other types of business-asset collateral, such as receivables, inventory and equipment, which can completely evaporate during periods of severe operational stress for small business enterprises.

F-22

Market conditions and values of real estate as collateral had deteriorated significantly, as evidenced by adverse asset quality trends since 2007, resulting in large provisions for loan losses, charge-offs of uncollectible loans and materially negative valuation adjustments of other real estate owned.  Other real estate owned arises from a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Those properties are held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and are reviewed periodically for subsequent impairment.

A loan may be deemed collateral-dependent when repayment is expected solely from liquidation of the loan's collateral.  Many of the banking subsidiaries' collateral-dependent impaired loans are located in real estate markets that have been depressed relative to historical valuations, such as Michigan, Arizona, Georgia and Nevada.  In those markets, historic appraisal data may reflect less useful information than in other real estate markets in estimating fair value because "comparable" sale transactions, generally used as important points of reference in such appraisals, have been infrequent, may not be "orderly" and may be the result of distressed or forced sale transactions.  An increasing trend of non-distressed sales has been observed in these markets, providing comparable sale data which reflects owner-user or income driven valuations.  Bank regulatory agencies require Capitol's banks to base their fair value estimates upon appraisal data in substantially all valuations of real estate.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, such estimates of fair value for collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned were based on appraisal data or other internal valuation techniques.

Updated appraisals are generally obtained when it has been determined that a loan has become collateral-dependent.  Adjustments to the loan's carrying value (or requirements for an allocation of the allowance for loan losses) are made, when appropriate, after the review of an appraisal or evaluation.  The timing of when a collateral-dependent loan should be classified as a nonperforming loan is contingent upon several factors, including the performance of the loan, the borrower's payment history and/or results of the bank's review of updated borrower financial information.

When a borrower's performance has deteriorated (for example, the borrower has become delinquent on required payments, the borrower's updated financial information received indicates adverse financial trends or sales/leasing activity is less than expected in the case of multi-unit properties), the loan will be downgraded and, if appropriate, an updated appraisal will be ordered for the loan if it is deemed collateral-dependent.  Non-collateral dependent loans will be included within loss contingency pools, in conjunction with estimating the bank's requirements for its allowance for loan losses.  Upon receipt and review of updated appraisal data and after any further fair value analysis is completed on those loans deemed to be collateral-dependent, the loans will be further evaluated for appropriate write-down.  Negative differences between appraised value, less the estimated costs to sell, and the related carrying value of the loans are charged to the allowance for loan losses, as partial write-downs/charge-offs, on a timely basis.  Occasionally, additional potential loss amounts may be included if circumstances exist which may further adversely impact fair value estimates.  Internally-developed evaluations may be used when the amount of a loan is less than $250,000.  Internally-prepared evaluations may also be used to estimate the current valuation changes

F-23

driven by current economic conditions.  Updated fair value information is generally obtained at least annually for collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned.

A potentially negative aspect of real estate as a primary source of collateral for commercial loans, among other things, is that when some commercial loans develop performance difficulties and reach nonperforming status (i.e., become 90 days past due), the resolution period will likely involve an extended period of time due to the foreclosure process, and may be further extended if real estate sales volume is weak or nonexistent.  In contrast, a commercial loan secured by receivables, inventory or equipment, which becomes nonperforming, tends to have a higher loss potential due to the probable rapid dissipation of collateral value.

At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses approximated $63.5 million, or 5.26%, of total portfolio loans outstanding, compared with $85.8 million, or 5.66%, at December 31, 2011.  As stated earlier, the allowance is based on significant judgment and management's analysis of inherent losses in the loan portfolio at the balance-sheet date.  The level of the allowance for loan losses in recent periods, and the percentage relationship to portfolio loans, remains high due to periods of volatile economic conditions.  The decrease in 2012 was the result of the noted slow but stabilizing environment, most specifically for commercial and residential real estate.

As also discussed more extensively in the Critical Accounting Policies section, which appears later in this narrative, the use of estimates in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is extremely important to an understanding of Capitol's consolidated financial statements.

Capitol had 11 separately-chartered banks at year-end 2012.  Each bank separately computes and documents the adequacy of its respective allowance for loan losses.  The process of evaluating and determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at each individual bank and on a consolidated basis is labor intensive and requires a high degree of judgment.  It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions.

The allowance for loan losses reflects management's judgment of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance-sheet date.  Management uses a disciplined process to establish the allowance for loan losses each quarter, which includes estimating the reserves needed for each segment of the loan portfolio, including loans analyzed individually and loans analyzed on a pooled basis, for probable future losses.  Loans are also categorized based on the type of collateral which secures such loans.  Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses.  Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

F-24

The establishment of the allowance for loan losses relies on a consistent estimation process that requires multiple layers of management review and judgment, and factors in changes in economic conditions, loan volume and concentrations and collateral values, among other influences.  The banks' allowance for loan losses is also dependent on, and sensitive to, risk ratings assigned to all loans, especially those that are individually evaluated, as well as economic assumptions and delinquency trends driving historical loss experience.  Individual loan risk ratings are evaluated based on each lending relationship and situation by experienced senior credit officers and independently reviewed on a regular basis by both internal loan review officers and external regulatory examiners to confirm compliance with applicable internal and external standards.  Furthermore, management closely monitors differences between estimated and actual incurred loan losses.  This monitoring process includes periodic assessments by senior management of loan portfolios and the models used to estimate incurred losses in those portfolios.

To determine the balance of the allowance for loan losses, loans are pooled by class on the basis of collateral types.  Losses are modeled using historical loss experience and, in some banks, an approach called migration analysis.  Capitol uses internally developed models in this process that have recently been validated by independent accounting and consulting firms for conformity with regulatory and authoritative accounting guidance or independent internal sources.  The models were independently validated and reviewed to ensure that their theoretical foundation, assumptions, data integrity, computational processes, reporting practices and end-user controls are appropriate and properly documented.  Management exercises significant judgment to determine the estimation method and other additional inputs in the modeling process that fit the credit risk characteristics within each portfolio segment.  Management must also use judgment in establishing additional input metrics which serve to adjust the historical loss experience for qualitative environmental factors.  From time to time, events or economic factors may affect the loan portfolio, causing management to provide additional amounts to or, when appropriate, release balances from the allowance for loan losses account, although at the current time a release of reserves may be prohibited and could be subject to intense regulatory scrutiny and approval.

In addition, bank regulatory agencies have the authority to review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses during their periodic examinations of the banks, and to require changes to the recorded allowance for loan losses, superseding management's judgment.  Those changes or adjustments could involve directing the banks to increase their allowance for loan losses and the banks may be required to reflect the changes or adjustments retroactively.  Such changes or adjustments may be required to be made long after management completed its process for the evaluation and documentation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, based on information which was not available at the time that process was completed or based solely on their judgment.

F-25

In 2011, Capitol received regulatory guidance regarding the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses at its three largest banks.  The guidance recommended that the banks' methodology be modified such that higher loss rates, in part derived from loan charge-off history on the substandard risk-rated loan pools, be applied to the "watch" rated loans as well as the "pass" (or acceptable credit quality) rated loan pool, the largest category of loans in the banks' portfolios.  Corporate management, in frequent dialogue with the regulators concerning their guidance for determining the allowance for loan losses, evaluated other methodologies permissible in accordance with regulatory pronouncements and industry practices.  As a result of the evaluation, Capitol began to phase in migration analysis effective December 31, 2011.  Since that time, migration analyses have been used, at least in part, to conclude on the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses at its three largest banks.  The calculations are tailored to each individual bank in order to account for loss histories and market conditions within the markets served by the bank.  The time periods for the loan portfolio look-back period were selected in such a manner as to capture losses incurred based on current economic conditions.

Over the past year, an independent professional accounting and consulting firm has validated the migration technique used by Capitol's largest banks for two accounting periods (December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012).  Based on management's analysis and judgment, and supported by the external firm's validation of the migration technique and the internal validation of the historical loss approach used at the smaller banks, the Corporation believes that the methodologies used in determining the allowance for loan losses meet both regulatory guidance and requirements under United States' generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), and represents management's best estimate of probable incurred losses in the consolidated loan portfolio as of December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2012, the Corporation's largest banking affiliate, Michigan Commerce Bank ("MCB"), tested the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses using multiple techniques which included a methodology developed by the regulatory agencies and the aforementioned migration analysis.  The techniques applied had produced an allowance for loan losses level that resulted in excess reserves ranging from $20.9 million to $30.2 million at December 31, 2012, with the methodology developed by the regulators resulting in a $20.9 million excess reserve.  Since it is currently operating under a Consent Order, written regulatory approval is required for MCB to release any portion of its $20.9 million in excess reserves and record a negative provision for loan losses; as such the Corporation has identified the $20.9 million portion of MCB's allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 as unallocated.  On December 22, 2012, MCB formally requested regulatory approval to decrease the unallocated portion of its allowance for loan losses.  This is the third time that MCB has requested regulatory approval for a reversal.  MCB believes it has complied with all requirements deemed necessary by the regulators in order to be granted such approval, including the use of the methodology developed by the regulatory agencies in determining the excess.  A negative provision in the amount suggested above would have a material impact on MCB's results of operations.  Reversal of excess reserves could improve MCB's capital ratio calculation to "adequately-capitalized" or potentially "well-capitalized," dependent upon the amount of the reversal.  The Bank has not yet received a response to its request.

Nonperforming loans approximated $131.4 million and $217.9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, or 10.9% and 14.4% of portfolio loans, respectively.  Of the nonperforming loans at December 31, 2012, approximately 91% were real-estate secured, consistent with prior years.  At December 31, 2012, the Michigan-based banks held about 47.1% ($61.9 million) of Capitol's total nonperforming loans compared to 45.3% ($98.6 million) as of December 31, 2011.

In part due to a continued elevated level of nonperforming loans, higher levels of allowances for loan losses have been established for banks located in the Southeast Region, the Great Lakes Region and the Nevada Region, approximating 7.06%, 6.20% and 3.72% of portfolio loans, respectively, for each of the regions on a combined basis as of December 31, 2012.

Nonperforming loans decreased $86.5 million or 39.7% during the year ended December 31, 2012 which followed a decrease of $67.5 million or 23.7% in the corresponding period of 2011.  Nonperforming loans have decreased for ten consecutive quarters.  Total nonperforming assets decreased $99.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 which followed a decrease of $72.2 million during 2011.  Management believes the overall decreases demonstrate signs of stability in several of Capitol's key markets; however, there can be no assurance that future operating results will continue to reflect these recent trends.

F-27

At December 31, 2012, the "coverage ratio" of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans (i.e., the allowance as a percentage of nonperforming loans) was 48.3%, compared to 39.4% at the beginning of the year.  Management views the current level of the coverage ratio as being acceptable, inasmuch as many nonperforming loans already reflect partial write-downs based on the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate for collateral-dependent nonperforming loans.  Comparison of the coverage ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans is complicated by the accounting rules for loss recognition of impaired loans.  For example, when an impaired, collateral-dependent loan is evaluated based on its fair value as of a particular balance-sheet date, any estimated shortfall is typically recognized as a charge to the allowance for loan losses.  As a result, many nonperforming loans are carried at a written-down level and no allowance component may be necessary at the balance-sheet date.

Directional consistency in the allowance for loan losses, loan charge-offs (including partial write-downs resulting from impairment analyses, as discussed above) and asset quality is important in evaluating the allowance for loan losses.  During 2012, impaired loans decreased 23.3% from $305.0 million at December 31, 2011 to $234.0 million at December 31, 2012.  The amount of the allowance for loan losses allocable to impaired loans at December 31, 2012 of $16.5 million reflected a decrease of approximately 32.5% from the year-end 2011 amount of $24.4 million.  This was due to an $83.1 million (38.9%) decrease in nonaccrual loans included within impaired loans at December 31, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011.  Impaired loans which do not have an allowance requirement include collateral-dependent loans for which direct write-downs (or charge-offs) have been made and, accordingly, no allowance requirement or allocation is necessary.

Included in total impaired loans as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is $185.0 million and $204.3 million, respectively, of loans modified as troubled debt restructurings.  These loans decreased $19.4 million in 2012 mostly related to charge-offs and payments received, including loans paid in full.  Troubled debt restructurings increased approximately $100 million in 2011 compared to 2010, mostly due to substandard accruing loans that were renewed, which under the new guidance issued in 2011, constituted troubled debt restructurings.

The following table presents the activity within troubled debt restructurings for the year ended December 31, 2012 (in $1,000s):

	Secured by Real Estate
	Commercial			Residential (including multi- family)			Construction, Land Development and Other Land			Commercial and Other Business- Purpose Loans			Consumer			Total
Beginning balance	$	118,373		$	44,069		$	23,632		$	18,212		$	54		$	204,340

F-28

Loan modifications or restructurings are accounted for as troubled debt restructurings if, for economic or legal reasons, it has been determined a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the bank grants a "concession" to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  A troubled debt restructuring may involve a modification of terms, such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or loan balance, a reduction of accrued interest, an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than a current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, or some combination thereof involving a concession to the borrower in order to facilitate repayment.  Loans modified and classified as troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired loans.  Such loans generally remain classified as impaired until the borrower has demonstrated timely payment performance for a period of time, pursuant to the modified terms of the loan, and the loan is renewed at an interest rate that is a market rate for loans with similar risk characteristics.

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.  When originated, all loans are individually assigned a rating which grades the credits on a risk basis, based on the financial strength of the borrower and guarantors, as well as other factors, such as the nature of the borrower's business climate, local economic conditions and other subjective factors.  The loan rating process is fluid and subjective.

Potential problem loans include loans which are generally performing as agreed; however, because of loan review's and/or lending staff's risk assessment, increased monitoring is deemed appropriate (i.e., "watch" and "substandard, accrual" loans).  In addition, some loans with specific performance issues or other risk factors are assigned a more adverse rating, requiring closer management attention and the development of specific remedial action plans.

At December 31, 2012, problem loans (i.e., substandard, nonaccrual loans) and potential problem loans approximated $355.4 million, or 29.5%, of total consolidated portfolio loans, whereas problem and potential problem loans, excluding nonperforming loans, approximated $224.0 million, or 18.6%, of total consolidated loans.  Such loans are an important component of management's ongoing and proactive loan review activities, which are designed to early-identify loans which warrant close monitoring at both the bank and corporate credit administration levels.  It is important to note that these potential problem loans do not necessarily have significant loss exposure, but rather are identified by management in this manner to aid in loan administration and risk management.  These loans are considered in management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

F-29

Other Assets

There are several other asset categories.  Loans held for sale ($2.1 million at December 31, 2011; none at December 31, 2012) are residential mortgages which are sold into the secondary market, generally within 30-60 days of closing (discussed in more detail in the following section of this narrative).  A modest amount of investment securities are also reflected on the balance sheet ($18.4 million and $17.6 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively).

Other real estate owned approximated $81.0 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease from the year-end 2011 level of $94.3 million.  Other real estate owned amounts stabilized in 2011 and 2010 after a dramatic increase in 2009, primarily in Michigan and Arizona, due to borrower difficulties, foreclosures and lack of sales activity which began to improve in 2012.  Other real estate owned at December 31, 2012 consisted primarily of commercial properties.  Over the past several years, weaknesses in real estate market conditions for commercial and residential properties has had negative implications on sales and valuation of other real estate owned, as well as on collateral-dependent impaired loans secured by real estate.  In 2012, however, Capitol and its banking subsidiaries have observed signs of stabilizing real estate values and some sales activity, although economic conditions in some regions have not fully recovered.

The following table presents the activity within other real estate owned for the year ended December 31, 2012 (in $1,000s):

Other real estate owned at January 1	$	94,300
Properties acquired in restructure of loans or in lieu of foreclosure		44,383
Properties sold		(47,217	)
Payments received from tenants, credited to carrying amount		(72	)
Write-down of other real estate owned		(10,431	)
Other real estate owned at December 31	$	80,963

Foreclosure laws in Michigan generally favor borrowers rather than lenders and, accordingly, foreclosure and redemption periods (i.e., the number of months it takes for a financial institution to obtain clear title to freely market the real estate) take much longer than in many other states.  Further, once the property is available to the bank for sale or liquidation, market conditions may not be conducive to rapid marketing or near-term sale of the properties.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Capital Adequacy

In a volatile economic environment, financial institution liquidity is especially important.  On-balance sheet liquidity for financial institutions typically consists of cash and cash equivalents and assets which may be quickly converted to cash, such as loans held for sale and investment securities available for sale.  These assets totaled $345.3 million at year-end 2012, or about 21.3% of total assets, excluding discontinued operations, and $372.1 million, or about 19.1%, at year-end 2011, both of which marked high levels of liquidity compared to previous years when capital ratios were stronger and credit risk was lower.  Liquidity can vary significantly on

F-30

a daily basis, based on customer activity and funding sources.  The increased liquidity position at year-end 2012 is the result of management's ongoing efforts to manage risks, tepid loan demand in some markets and changes in consumer spending habits.  Liquidity is important for financial institutions because of the need to meet depositor withdrawal requests and to fund loan and various other commitments.  Management believes the banks' on-balance sheet liquidity positions at December 31, 2012, along with readily available off-balance sheet sources of funding, were adequate to meet each bank's anticipated and contingency funding needs.

Most of the investment securities portfolio, approximating $15.7 million at December 31, 2012 and $14.9 million at year-end 2011, has been classified as available for sale.  During 2010, approximately $26 million of investment securities were sold primarily to facilitate changes in risk management strategies and liquidity needs.  In 2012 and 2011, there were no significant sales of investment securities available for sale to meet liquidity needs or for other purposes.

Capitol did not maintain any loans held for sale as of December 31, 2012 but such assets approximated $2.1 million at year-end 2011.  These are residential real estate mortgages originated by the banks and subsequently sold into the secondary market, rather than being held in the banks' portfolios.  Mortgage loan origination volume in 2012 decreased to approximately $22.4 million, compared to $44.4 million in 2011 ($116.8 million in 2010).  Future mortgage origination volume will depend in large part on interest rates, real estate values, the strength of residential real estate market conditions and secondary market risk tolerance.

The primary source of funds for Capitol's banks is deposits.  The banks rely upon interest-bearing time deposits as a key part of their funding strategy.  The banks also use noninterest-bearing deposits, or checking accounts, which reduce their cost of funds.  Noninterest-bearing deposits were about 20.9% of total deposits at year-end 2012 (about 17.8% at year-end 2011).  This ratio is significant inasmuch as a lower percentage of noninterest-bearing deposits has the effect of increasing a bank's funding costs and, accordingly, reducing net interest income.

Capitol's banks have eliminated substantially all brokered deposits other than a small amount of Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARs") reciprocal deposits, which stem from larger client deposits but are classified as brokered by the FDIC for technical reasons.  At year-end 2012, brokered funding totaled approximately $4.6 million (0.3% of deposits), over $4.0 million of which was CDARs reciprocal.  This was much lower than the $15.1 million, or 0.8%, in brokered funding reported at year-end 2011.  In the past, deposits obtained from internet-based sources (which are not classified as brokered deposits) were used to replace some maturing brokered deposits.  Such funding has steadily declined for more than a year and at year-end 2012 stood at $136 million, or 8.8% of total bank funding.

F-31

To supplement their funding sources, some of the banks have lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system.  At year-end 2012, a total of approximately $4.9 million was borrowed under FHLB facilities ($38.0 million at year-end 2011) and additional borrowing availability approximated $113.3 million.  The $33.0 million decrease in the amount of FHLB borrowings is the result of Capitol's efforts to reduce debt obligations of its banking subsidiaries and deleverage its balance sheet.  Borrowings under FHLB 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.  The FHLB may accelerate due dates of these borrowings under certain circumstances, which could have an adverse impact on liquidity.

Capitol's longer term contractual obligations are disclosed in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  At December 31, 2012, such obligations consist principally of time deposits, debt and lease obligations and trust-preferred securities, which are summarized as follows (in $1,000s):

			Payments Due by Period
			Within		Within		Within		After
	Total		1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		5 Years
Deposits without a stated
maturity	$	798,587	$	798,587
Time deposits		745,281		520,412	$	187,558	$	35,607	$	1,704
Accrued interest		33,868		613		33,255
Debt obligations		8,428		5,781		1,801		846
Rent commitments under
noncancelable leases		34,110		7,090		12,486		8,252		6,282
Subordinated debentures		151,296								151,296
Total	$	1,771,570	$	1,332,483	$	235,100	$	44,705	$	159,282

During 2008, Capitol completed a private offering of $14 million of promissory notes which were purchased by accredited investors.  The promissory notes became callable in 2010, mature in 2013 and bear interest at 9%.  In 2010, Capitol converted approximately $4.6 million of those notes into approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock in a private-placement transaction.

Loan commitments of Capitol's banks (stand-by letters of credit and unfunded loans) generally expire within one year.  Other than the items set forth in the table above, there are no individually material contractual obligations, such as purchase obligations.

A significant source of capital in prior years was investments in start-up banks made by community investors, or noncontrolling interests, in those subsidiaries which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.  Total noncontrolling interests, included as a component of equity, amounted to an equity deficit of $10.2 million at year-end 2012, a net increase of $9.7 million from $563,000 at year-end 2011.  The net increase in 2012 of the deficit balance of noncontrolling interests resulted from operating losses and bank divestitures.

F-32

Capitol has several bank development subsidiaries, each originally capitalized with two classes of common stock, voting and nonvoting.  Capitol purchased all of the initial voting shares of common stock of these entities while the nonvoting shares were sold in private offerings to accredited investors, some of whom are related parties of Capitol.  Those entities had been engaged in bank development activities, through Capitol, consisting of formation and investment in start-up banks and management of their investments in young banks.  Bank start-up activities were suspended in mid-2008 when the regulatory and capital raising environment for new banks became unfavorable.  Each of these entities bears a similar name, Capitol Development Bancorp Limited ("CDBL"), each numbered in their sequential formation, CDBL I through CDBL VIII.

CDBL I became wholly-owned by Capitol in 2006 and CDBL II became wholly-owned in February 2007.  Both were subsequently merged with and into Capitol.  CDBL III ceased to be a controlled subsidiary in 2009 and, accordingly, its consolidated financial position and results of operations were deconsolidated effective September 30, 2009.  Effective December 31, 2009, Capitol increased its ownership in some of the CDBLs through the conversion of intercompany indebtedness to voting common stock of the CDBLs in order to maintain a controlling (>50%) interest in anticipation of conversion of those CDBLs' nonvoting shares to voting shares.  In 2011, Capitol exchanged a portion of its ownership in one of its wholly-owned banks for CDBL III shares and increased its ownership of that CDBL.

Prior to 2009, Capitol raised a total of $167 million of capital through the issuance of trust-preferred securities.  Most were obtained through private placements of pooled trust-preferred securities.  Trust-preferred securities are long-term debt obligations which may be treated as elements of capital for regulatory purposes.  When these securities were issued, all were included as an element of the Corporation's regulatory capital.  Currently, none of those securities are included due to the Corporation's capital position.  As noted in the accompanying financial statements, the trusts relating to Capitol's trust-preferred securities are classified as debt obligations on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and are included in liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2012.  Future availability of trust-preferred securities as a near-term capital resource is unlikely, due to the instability of U.S. capital markets and recent bank regulatory reform pursuant to the July 2010 Dodd-Frank Act.

In April 2009, the Corporation commenced the deferral of interest payments on its various trust-preferred securities, as is permitted under the terms of the securities, in order to conserve cash and capital resources.  The payment of interest may be deferred for periods up to five years.  Capitol continued to accrue interest payable on such securities until the bankruptcy filing date.  Capitol is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock while interest is being deferred on the trust-preferred securities.  Payment of interest on the trust-preferred securities is also not permitted without prior approval from the Federal Reserve (see subsequent discussion in the Certain Regulatory Matters section of this narrative).  Holders of the trust-preferred securities recognize current taxable income relating to the deferred interest payments.

F-33

On January 31, 2011, Capitol accepted for exchange 1,180,602 of the 2,530,000 outstanding shares of trust-preferred securities of Capitol Trust I and 773,934 of the 1,454,100 outstanding shares of trust-preferred securities of Capitol Trust XII and, pursuant to the related exchange offer, issued approximately 19.5 million previously-unissued shares of Capitol's common stock.  This exchange resulted in the retirement of approximately $19.5 million aggregate liquidation amount of the trust-preferred securities on a combined basis and eliminated approximately $3.4 million of accrued interest payable associated with the retired securities, which collectively increased Capitol's equity and regulatory capital by $21.9 million, including a gain on the transaction of approximately $16.9 million.

The stockholders' equity deficit attributable to Capitol approximated $133.9 million at year-end 2012, as compared to $108.1 million at year-end 2011.  Capitol's equity deficit increased by $25.8 million in 2012 due to losses incurred from operations, although the losses were less significant than in 2011, attributed primarily to lower provisions for loan losses.  The equity deficit at December 31, 2012, coupled with adverse classification of Capitol and many of its banks on the basis of their regulatory capital levels, among other things, raises some level of doubt as to Capitol's ability to continue as a going concern, as discussed in the Going Concern Considerations section of this narrative.  Additionally, Capitol and many of its banking subsidiaries are operating under various formal enforcement actions and informal regulatory agreements (see subsequent discussion in the Certain Regulatory Matters section of this narrative).

In April 2010, Capitol completed an offering of 2.5 million shares of previously-unissued common stock and warrants for the purchase of 1.25 million additional shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds approximating $6.8 million with a corresponding increase to Capitol's stockholders' equity.  The warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 per warrant and expire in 2013.

On June 30, 2010, Capitol issued an aggregate 95,000 shares of its Series A Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.  Of that aggregate issuance, 44,020 shares were issued to a consolidated subsidiary of Capitol and, accordingly, have been eliminated in consolidation.  The remaining 50,980 shares were issued to a bank-development company which is an unconsolidated affiliate of Capitol.  The liquidation preference of the shares issued is $100 per share, with an aggregate issuance of $9.5 million of which $4.4 million has been eliminated upon consolidation.  The Series A Preferred Stock is nonvoting and callable at Capitol's option after 36 months from the date of issuance at $100 per share, plus any accrued dividends.  Dividends on such shares are payable only when and if declared by Capitol's board of directors, based on an annual rate of 6%.

Capitol and each of its bank 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 and bank holding companies are categorized as "well-capitalized" or "adequately-capitalized" using several ratio measurements, including a risk-weighting approach to assets and financial commitments.  Similarly, banks may further be classified as "undercapitalized," "significantly-undercapitalized," or "critically-undercapitalized."  These ratio measurements, in addition to certain other requirements, are

F-34

used by regulatory agencies to determine the level of regulatory intervention and enforcement applied to financial institutions.

The following table summarizes the amounts (in $1,000s) and related ratios of Capitol's consolidated regulatory capital position at December 31, 2012, and the amounts of "deficiency" that exist between the Corporation's current deficit position and levels required in order to be considered "adequately-capitalized":

Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets:
Minimum required amount(1)	≥	$	66,520
Actual amount		$	(144,341	)
Ratio			(8.68	)%
Deficiency		$	210,861
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets:
Minimum required amount(2)	≥	$	49,402
Actual amount		$	(144,341	)
Ratio			(11.69	)%
Deficiency		$	193,743
Combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk-weighted assets:
Minimum required amount(3)	≥	$	98,805
Actual amount		$	(144,341	)
Ratio			(11.69	)%
Deficiency		$	243,146

(1)	The minimum required ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets to be considered adequately-capitalized is 4%.
(2)	The minimum required ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets to be considered adequately-capitalized is 4%.
(3)	The minimum required ratio of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk-weighted assets to be considered adequately-capitalized is 8%.

Capitol's total risk-based capital ratios at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were materially and adversely impacted by the exclusion of approximately $167.3 million and $171.5 million, respectively, of previously-qualifying Tier 2 capital, inasmuch as Tier 2 capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital, primarily trust-preferred securities and a portion of the allowance for loan losses.  The Tier 1 capital deficit resulted mostly from operating losses.  Capitol's Tier 1 capital will need to increase to a positive level in order to allow for the inclusion of trust-preferred securities in Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital computation purposes.

The preceding summary indicates that Capitol, on a consolidated basis, was classified as less than "adequately-capitalized" at December 31, 2012 for regulatory purposes.  As indicated above, such classification is based upon certain stated ratio minimums at the "adequately-capitalized" level.

Several of Capitol's bank subsidiaries had capital levels resulting in classification as "undercapitalized" or "significantly-undercapitalized" at December 31, 2012.  Banks and bank holding companies which are less than "adequately-capitalized" are subject to increased regulatory oversight, intervention, requirements and limitations.  Regarding banks classified as "undercapitalized" or "significantly-undercapitalized," or otherwise noncompliant with formal enforcement actions and informal regulatory agreements, management is taking appropriate

F-35

action to improve such capital classifications and related compliance in the future, subject to the availability of capital and continued cooperation by regulatory agencies.

Footnotes to regulatory capital position:

(1)	Regulatory capital classifications are defined as follows: Well-Capitalized – Total risk-based capital ratio must be 10% or more, and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio must be 6% or more, and Tier 1 leverage ratio must be 5% or more, and the bank must not be subject to formal regulatory enforcement action requiring non-standard capital ratios. Adequately-Capitalized – Does not meet the criteria for "well-capitalized," but has total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or more, and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or more, and Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% or more. Undercapitalized – Does not meet the criteria for "adequately-capitalized," but has total risk-based capital ratio of 6% or more, and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 3% or more, and Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% or more. Significantly-Undercapitalized – Does not meet the criteria for "undercapitalized," but has Tier 1 leverage ratio of 2% or more.  Institutions with a Tier 1 leverage ratio below 2% are classified as "critically-undercapitalized."
(2)	Ratios and regulatory classifications are based on the banks' regulatory reports filed at original due date on or before January 30, 2013.
(3)	Institution is subject to a formal enforcement action and, accordingly, cannot be classified better than "adequately-capitalized" even though the risk-based capital ratios would otherwise suggest "well-capitalized" classification.

F-36

Future regulatory capital compliance, classification and related ratios are difficult to predict and are subject to significant contingencies.  There is also no assurance that regulatory agencies may not impose higher ratio thresholds at any time.

After the filing of the December 31, 2012 call reports, the FDIC sent letters to 1^st Commerce Bank, Central Arizona Bank, Pisgah Community Bank and Sunrise Bank, indicating that the use of capital notes for the period ending December 31, 2012 was being disallowed and the banks were directed to re-file their call reports.  The banks have appealed this determination and are awaiting a decision from the FDIC.

Subsequent to the letter directive, the FDIC conducted a visitation of the above-mentioned banks and determined that each bank was considered "critically-undercapitalized" as of the exam date.  Capitol intends to inject the necessary capital into these bank affiliates to cure the capital deficiency as of March 31, 2013, but this potential transaction is subject to regulatory approval.

Proceeds from the sale of banks in 2012 have been deployed as additional capital in Capitol's remaining banks pursuant to requirements imposed by the FDIC.  Capitol anticipates augmenting the capital levels of its less than "adequately-capitalized" bank subsidiaries further through allocation of proceeds from additional pending divestitures of certain bank subsidiaries.  Management is pursuing various strategies to increase Capitol's Tier 1 capital, including raising capital through potential equity transactions and other initiatives, as discussed further on page F-43.

Certain Regulatory Matters

In September 2009, Capitol and its second-tier bank holding companies entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (the "Reserve Bank") under which Capitol agreed to refrain from the following actions without the prior written consent of the Reserve Bank:  (i) declare or pay dividends; (ii) receive dividends or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital from Michigan Commerce Bank, or from any of its subsidiary institutions that are subject to any restriction by the institution's federal or state regulator that limits the payment of dividends or other intercorporate payments; (iii) make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust-preferred securities; (iv) incur, increase or guarantee any debt; or (v) purchase or redeem any shares of the stock of Capitol, the second-tier bank holding companies, nonbank subsidiaries or any of the subsidiary banks that are held by shareholders other than Capitol.

In addition, Capitol agreed to:  (i) submit to the Reserve Bank a written plan to maintain sufficient capital at Capitol on a consolidated basis and at Michigan Commerce Bank (as Capitol's largest bank subsidiary and a separate legal entity on a stand-alone basis); (ii) notify the Reserve Bank no more than 30 days after the end of any quarter in which Capitol's consolidated or Michigan Commerce Bank's capital ratios fall below the approved capital plan's minimum ratios as well as if any subsidiary institution's ratios fall below the minimum ratios required by the institution's federal or state regulator; (iii) review and revise its ALLL methodology for loans held by Capitol and submit to the Reserve Bank a written program for

F-37

maintenance of an adequate ALLL for loans held by Capitol; (iv) take all necessary actions to ensure each of its subsidiary institutions comply with Federal Reserve regulations; (v) refrain from increasing any fees or charging new fees to any subsidiary institution without the prior written consent of the Reserve Bank; (vi) submit to the Reserve Bank a written plan to enhance the consolidated organization's risk management practices, a strategic plan to improve the consolidated organization's operating results and overall condition, and cash flow projections; (vii) comply with laws and regulations regarding senior executive officer positions and severance payments; and (viii) provide quarterly reports to the Reserve Bank regarding these undertakings.

Many of Capitol's bank subsidiaries have entered into formal enforcement actions (as well as informal agreements) with their applicable regulatory agencies.  Those enforcement actions provide for certain restrictions and other guidelines and/or limitations to be followed by the banks.  The banks generally subject to such enforcement actions are noted as such in the regulatory capital summary appearing on page F-36 of this document.  In all instances where Capitol or its banks are subject to formal enforcement actions or informal agreements, corporate and/or bank management, as the case may be, and their boards of directors are fully committed and working proactively towards achieving compliance with those enforcement actions and improving their entity's financial condition.

The FDIC may issue Prompt Corrective Action Notifications ("PCAN") to banking subsidiaries falling below the "adequately-capitalized" regulatory-capital classification, and subsequently may issue Prompt Correction Action Directives ("PCAD").  PCADs may be issued when a bank, which has previously received a PCAN, has submitted two consecutive capital restoration plans which have been rejected by the FDIC.

Capitol's banking subsidiaries which have received a PCAD are as follows (listed in descending order based on total assets):

Michigan Commerce Bank

Bank of Las Vegas

Sunrise Bank of Arizona

Sunrise Bank

Central Arizona Bank

Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque

1^st Commerce Bank

Pisgah Community Bank

These banks are striving to develop and implement capital restoration plans which may be acceptable to the FDIC.  Typically a capital plan is not deemed acceptable by the FDIC until receipt of the planned capital funds is imminent.

On September 20, 2012, the State of New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department, Financial Institutions Division (the "New Mexico FID") issued a written notice of its intention to take possession and control of Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque and its assets for the purpose of the reorganization or liquidation through receivership if certain findings of the New Mexico FID were not corrected by December 20, 2012.  In the event that such a reorganization or

F-38

liquidation of Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque had taken place, the FDIC would have experienced losses in connection with such failure and such losses could have been assessed against the Corporation's other depository institution subsidiaries.  Such liability would likely have had a material adverse effect on the financial condition of any assessed subsidiary institution and on the Corporation as the common parent.  In February 2013, Capitol provided Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque with a $1 million capital injection to raise the Bank's capital level to 4.00% and thus satisfied the New Mexico FID mandate.  The Bank continues to provide banking services in a normal manner, including maintaining FDIC insurance for its depositors.  However, if the Bank's capital level falls below 4.00% in future quarters, the New Mexico FID may reissue a notice of intent to take possession.

Generally, banks are subject to cross-guaranty liability regarding other financial institutions the FDIC determines are commonly controlled by any multibank holding company.  Pursuant to federal regulations, an insured depository institution may be liable for any loss the FDIC has incurred or expects to incur in connection with the failure of a former affiliate institution and, if the FDIC determines that remaining affiliates have a liability to the FDIC, then they would be required to pay that liability to the FDIC.  Payment of a cross-guaranty liability to the FDIC could have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, capital adequacy and financial position of Capitol and its banking subsidiaries.  To date, none of Capitol's subsidiary banks have received any notice of assessment of cross-guaranty liability.  Capitol's banks have, however, received notice from the FDIC that the FDIC may assess a cross-guaranty liability relating to a failed community bank in Florida which ceased operations in November 2009.  The FDIC alleges that the Florida bank was an affiliated institution of Capitol, although Capitol owned no securities of that bank or otherwise controlled the failed institution.  At the time the Florida bank ceased operations, the FDIC estimated the aggregate loss to the FDIC Bank Insurance Fund to be $23.6 million.  Previously, the FDIC had until November 2011, two years from the date of such notice, to determine whether to assess that potential cross-guaranty liability, if any.  In November 2011, the FDIC and Capitol's banks entered into a mutual tolling agreement, which both extends the ability of the FDIC to impose the cross-guaranty liability, and extends the statute of limitations for the banks to take action against the FDIC for two additional years, ending in November 2013.

In addition to the previously mentioned potential cross-guaranty liability, some of Capitol's banking subsidiaries were advised in December 2009 that, to mitigate the effects of any possible assessment arising from potential cross-guaranty liability, they should develop a plan to arrange a sale, merger or recapitalization such that Capitol no longer controls the bank.  This guidance was preceded by Capitol's previously announced plans to selectively divest some of its bank subsidiaries in conjunction with reallocating capital resources to its remaining banks.  Capitol's pending divestitures are subject to regulatory approval which may take an extended period of time to obtain.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed into law and is significantly impacting the regulation of financial institutions and the financial services industry.  The Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions affecting large and small financial institutions alike, including several provisions that will profoundly affect how community banks, thrifts, and smaller bank holding companies

F-39

will be regulated in the future.  Among other things, these provisions abolished the Office of Thrift Supervision and transferred its functions to the other federal banking agencies, relaxed rules regarding interstate branching, allowed financial institutions to pay interest on business checking accounts, changed the scope of FDIC insurance coverage and imposed new capital requirements on bank holding companies including the removal of trust-preferred securities as a permitted component of a holding company's Tier 1 capital, following a three-year phase-in period beginning January 1, 2013.  The Dodd-Frank Act also establishes the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection as an independent entity within the Federal Reserve, which was given the authority to promulgate consumer protection regulations applicable to all entities offering consumer financial services or products, including banks.  Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act includes a series of provisions covering mortgage loan origination standards affecting, among other things, originator compensation, minimum repayment standards and prepayments.  Management is continuing to evaluate the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and assess its probable impact on the Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operations.  However, the ultimate effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on the financial services industry in general, and on the Corporation in particular, currently remains uncertain.

One particularly important aspect of the Dodd-Frank Act (as amended) is that certain trust-preferred securities issued by bank holding companies with total assets less than $10 billion, such as Capitol, are permitted to be included as an element of qualifying capital for regulatory capital-adequacy purposes.  Accordingly, Capitol's trust-preferred securities may be included in regulatory capital measurements in the future, subject to certain limitations, although none of those securities are currently included, as discussed earlier.

In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, an international forum for cooperation on banking supervisory matters, announced the "Basel III" capital rules, which set new capital requirements for banking organizations.  On June 7, 2012, the Federal Reserve Board requested comment on three proposed rules that, taken together, would establish an integrated regulatory capital framework implementing the Basel III regulatory capital reforms in the United States.  Comments were accepted through October 22, 2012, but to date final rules have not been issued.  As proposed, the U.S.implementation of Basel III would lead to significantly higher capital requirements and more restrictive leverage and liquidity ratios than those currently in place.  Once adopted, these new capital requirements would be phased in over time.  Additionally, the U.S. implementation of Basel III contemplates that, for banking organizations with less than $15 billion in assets, the ability to treat trust-preferred securities as Tier 1 capital would be phased out over a ten-year period.  The ultimate impact of the U.S. implementation of the new capital and liquidity standards to Capitol and its affiliate banks will depend upon the final rules.  If Capitol's planned recapitalization, restructure and bulk disposition of nonperforming loans proceed as planned, management expects that the consolidated entity and individual affiliate banks will immediately have significantly lower credit risk and sufficient Tier 1 equity to exceed minimum regulatory standards including new deductions, limitations and capital conservation buffers proposed to be phased in between 2013 and 2019.  At this point, however, Capitol is unable to determine the ultimate effect that any final regulations, if enacted, would have upon its earnings or financial position.

F-40

Tax Matters

An Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examination which commenced in 2011 has concluded.  On October 11, 2012, the IRS issued a written letter to Capitol stating that the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation took no exception with the findings of the IRS pursuant to an examination report which denied the deductibility of certain expenses on the Corporation's 2009 income tax return.

In December 2011, Capitol recorded a liability approximating $6.5 million as a result of the preliminary findings of this examination, which pertained primarily to expense deductions claimed in 2009 relating to problem loans and other real estate owned.  The final liability was adjusted down to $6.4 million in 2012 at the conclusion of the audit.  Pursuant to the examination, these expenses will be deductible by Capitol over a period of three years, beginning with the 2010 income tax return.  Potential interest charges related to the final assessed liability have been estimated at $422,000 which Capitol recorded in other noninterest expense in 2012.  Since Capitol had already recorded a liability upon the preliminary findings, the conclusions of this IRS examination did not have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012.  On March 1, 2013, the Office of the Chief Counsel – Internal Revenue Service concluded that, in large part, the banking industry's treatment of deducting other real estate owned expenses for tax purposes was appropriate.  This ruling could result in a $1.5 million reduction to Capitol's $6.4 million tax liability for expense deductions taken in 2009 related to other real estate owned activities.

Capitol received a final notice of taxes due from the State of Michigan related to the Michigan Business Tax.  The notice, dated September 25, 2012, pertained to the year ended December 31, 2009 and indicated an amount due of $771,000, including penalties and interest.  Included in this notice, and in response to the Corporation's filing for reorganization, the State alleged that Capitol had not properly computed and filed its 2009 Michigan Business Tax return.  Capitol received an earlier notice from the State of Michigan, dated September 21, 2012, claiming additional tax was due for the year ended December 31, 2010 in the amount of $202,000, including penalties and interest.  In response to these notices, Capitol filed a Petition with the Michigan Tax Tribunal on October 30, 2012, formally appealing the 2009 findings and stating that all required returns were properly filed and all associated Michigan Business Tax due was paid.  In addition, Capitol also requested an informal hearing with the State in regard to the 2009 and 2010 returns, which has been granted, but not yet scheduled.

Further, the State of Michigan filed an objection to the confirmation of Capitol's Joint Plan of Reorganization with the Court on September 5, 2012, in which it alleged the Corporation has outstanding, unfiled Michigan Business Tax returns for 2009, 2010 and 2011, and owes $1.0 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties; Capitol believes this alleged amount due is inclusive of the amounts reflected in the two notices subsequently received by Capitol.  Capitol responded to the State's objection by filing a reply with the Court on October 8, 2012, in which the Corporation submitted that all required returns for 2009, 2010 and 2011 were properly filed and all tax due was paid.

F-41

In July 2011, Capitol adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the "Plan") designed to preserve substantial tax assets.  Capitol's tax attributes include net operating losses that could be utilized in certain circumstances to offset future taxable income and to reduce federal income tax liability.  Capitol's ability to use these tax attributes would be substantially limited if there were an "ownership change" as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and related IRS pronouncements.  In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, Capitol's board of directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of its common stock distributable to shareholders of record as of August 1, 2011, as well as to holders of common stock issued subsequent to that date, which would only be activated if triggered under the Plan.

The Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that Capitol will experience an ownership change by discouraging any person from becoming a 5-percent shareholder.  There is no guarantee, however, that the Plan will prevent Capitol from experiencing an ownership change.

The issuance of the preferred share purchase rights will not affect Capitol's reported per-share results and is not taxable to Capitol or its shareholders.

Going Concern Considerations

As of December 31, 2012, there are several significant adverse aspects of Capitol's consolidated financial position and results of operations which include, but are not limited to, the following:

· The Corporation has filed for protection under Chapter 11;

· An equity deficiency approximating $144.1 million;

· Regulatory capital classification on a consolidated basis as less than "adequately-capitalized" and related negative amounts and ratios;

· Numerous banking subsidiaries with regulatory capital classification as "undercapitalized," or "significantly-undercapitalized";

· Certain banking subsidiaries which are generally subject to formal enforcement actions and informal regulatory agreements have received "prompt corrective action" notifications and/or directives from the FDIC, which require timely action by bank management and the respective boards of directors to resolve regulatory capital ratios which result in classification as less than "adequately-capitalized" (the basis of a PCAN) or to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC (the basis of a PCAD), and it is likely additional PCANs and/or PCADs may be issued in the future and/or the banking subsidiaries may be unable to satisfactorily resolve such notices and/or directives;

· Capitol has sold several of its banking subsidiaries during the past few years and has other divestiture transactions pending (see Note M to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).  The proceeds from those divestitures have been redeployed at certain remaining banking subsidiaries which have experienced a significant erosion of capital due to operating losses.  While such proceeds have been a significant source of funds for redeployment, the Corporation will need to raise significant other sources of new capital in the future;

F-42

· The Corporation and substantially all of its banking subsidiaries are operating under various regulatory enforcement actions, which place a number of restrictions on them and impose other requirements limiting activities, requiring preservation of capital and improvement in regulatory capital measures, reduction of nonperforming assets and other things for which the entities have not achieved full compliance;

· Elevated levels of nonperforming loans and other nonperforming assets as a percentage of consolidated loans and total assets, respectively; and

· Losses from continuing operations, resulting primarily from elevated provisions for loan losses, costs associated with foreclosed properties and other real estate owned and, in 2010, an impairment charge to operations for the write-off of previously-recorded goodwill ($64.5 million, including $8.7 million from discontinued operations).

The foregoing considerations raise some level of doubt (potentially substantial doubt) as to the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern.

Capitol has commenced several initiatives and other actions to mitigate these going concern considerations and to improve the Corporation's financial condition, equity, regulatory capital and regulatory compliance.  In early 2011, a partial exchange of trust-preferred securities was completed and the Corporation's stockholders approved an amendment to the articles of incorporation to increase its authorized common stock and authorize its board of directors to proceed with a rights offering and reverse stock split, in addition to a potential share-exchange regarding second-tier bank-development subsidiaries.

Improvement in Capitol's and its banking subsidiaries' capitalization, financial position, asset quality and results of operations requires multi-faceted efforts, which are currently being pursued aggressively in the following areas, among others:

· Raising significant amounts of new equity capital pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization;

· Completion of a proposed financial restructuring plan;

· Completion of pending divestitures;

· Further reductions in nonperforming assets;

· Stabilization of provisions for loan losses and impairment losses; and

· Further reductions in operating expenses through potential divestitures or mergers of bank subsidiaries and continued streamlining of corporate operations.

Capitol's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on the successful achievement of the items listed above.  Capitol's board of directors and management are fully engaged and committed to successful completion of those items, with a clear sense of urgency, subject to the availability of capital and continued cooperation by regulatory agencies.

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.

F-43

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Changes in interest rates, either up or down, have an impact on net interest income (plus or minus), depending upon 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 the "gap" at December 31, 2012 (in $1,000s):

	Interest Rate Sensitivity

(1) No amounts included within liabilities subject to compromise are currently accruing interest and, thus, are not included in the interest rate sensitivity calculations.

F-44

The preceding table indicates that, in terms of repricing "gap" analysis, in the immediate short-term, Capitol is "asset sensitive" (i.e., interest-rate sensitive assets exceed interest-rate sensitive liabilities) and, accordingly, such analysis would suggest that if overall interest rates increase, net interest income should benefit as a result.  "Gap" analysis is useful for its simplicity and intuitive appeal, but one should note that, being static in nature, "gap" analysis necessarily excludes important information that can be captured in forward-looking, dynamic models, such as the effect of interest rate floors and ceilings and the degree and pace at which different non-maturity deposit types would likely reprice in different rate change environments.  Consequently, additional tools should also be employed to determine the financial impact of future changes in general interest rates.

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.  Capitol and its 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.  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 100, 200 and 300 basis point ("bp") increases and a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates:

	Pro Forma Assuming No Change in Interest Rates		Pro Forma Effect of Interest Rate Increases						Pro Forma Effect of Interest Rate Decreases
				+100 bp		+200 bp		+300 bp		-100 bp
Interest income	$	66,144	$	72,648	$	79,370	$	86,374	$	61,605
Interest expense		10,140		14,823		19,499		24,185		7,271
Net interest income	$	56,004	$	57,825	$	59,871	$	62,189	$	54,334

F-45

The preceding pro forma analysis is intended to quantify theoretical changes in interest income based on stated assumptions.  Its results reveal an expected net interest income benefit in increasing rate scenarios and a negative impact from the decreasing rate scenario, which is consistent with conclusions drawn from the "gap" analysis on page F-44.  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.

While the pro forma analysis is intended to estimate the impact of immediate changes in rates, actual results will be different.  Simulation results will differ (and may be materially different) because a 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 or customer behavior.

In late 2008, the Federal Reserve took unprecedented action to reduce the overnight interbank lending rate to near zero, which caused banks across the country to reduce short-term rate indices used to price retail and commercial loans and deposits.  Further, in December 2011, the Federal Reserve indicated plans to hold short-term market interest rates near zero through 2013.  As the prime rate fell, asset sensitive institutions generally experienced margin compression as floating rate loans repriced more quickly and in greater volume than funding liabilities.  Capitol's subsidiary banks mitigated the effect through increased use of interest rate floors on new and renewed loans and swift reduction of deposit rates.  As many of Capitol's subsidiary banks reduced loan volume, they were able to maintain liquidity levels while significantly reducing non-core funding dependency and lowering retail deposit rates.

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 and economic conditions within Capitol's primary banking regions in particular, including Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, have been strained but have recently demonstrated some signs of recovery.  However, overall economic conditions could be described as uncertain and could have an adverse effect on Capitol's banks and their customers.  It is likely that, absent significant catalysts, these states' economic recoveries in particular may take an extended period of time.

Capitol's geographic footprint serves to minimize a concentration of assets in a particular region.  However, the Great Lakes Region comprised 59% and 56% of consolidated assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and continues to be disproportionate to other geographic regions in which Capitol has a presence.

Capitol and its banking subsidiaries, along with the entire banking industry, are 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, among others, translate into a significant cost burden.  Such costs include the amount of management time and expense

F-46

incurred in developing systems and maintaining 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.

Divestitures of Banks

In 2012, Capitol completed the following sales of bank subsidiaries (in $1,000s):

		Sale
	Date Sold	Proceeds		Gain (Loss)
Mountain View Bank of Commerce(1)	January 30, 2012	$	4,060	$	126
Bank of Michigan(2)	July 27, 2012		3,611		(228	)
First Carolina State Bank(2)	July 30, 2012		1,269		289
High Desert Bank(1)	November 19, 2012		760		(44	)
		$	9,700	$	143

(1) Previously a majority-owned subsidiary of a bank-development subsidiary controlled by Capitol.

(2) Previously a majority-owned subsidiary of Capitol.

In addition to completed sales transactions, Capitol has entered into definitive agreements to sell its interests (or controlling interests held by bank-development subsidiaries) in the following institutions which are pending:  Bank of Maumee and Capitol National Bank.  The pending bank sales are subject to regulatory approval and other contingencies.  If completed, those pending bank divestitures would result in Capitol receiving estimated proceeds approximating $3.3 million and recognizing an estimated loss on sale of approximately $3.3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies Affecting Capitol's Financial Statements

Note B of the notes to the consolidated financial statements is captioned Significant Accounting Policies.  That disclosure spans numerous pages, all of which are deemed "significant" and are required disclosures under U.S. GAAP".  For purposes of this narrative, current SEC guidance requires the selection of a few of those for discussion as "critical accounting policies."  The selection of which few will differ from company to company even within a common industry, such as within the business of banking.  Capitol considers its critical accounting policies to include the following:

Use of Estimates in Determining the Allowance for Loan Losses.  Bank regulatory agencies, accounting standard setters and the SEC have all issued extensive commentary, guidance and a variety of rule-making releases on how financial institutions are to determine the amount of their allowance for loan losses.  Determining the allowance is a comprehensive and inherently subjective process, which requires management's judgment as to how to estimate losses incurred, and when to record a loss allowance or 'reserve' for loans.  It is not a process or methodology which can be merely reduced to a strict absolute computation, like a mathematical formula to compute taxes.  The process and methodology will differ from one

F-47

financial institution to another and there is no 'one size fits all' format or approach to loss reserving.

The consolidated allowance for loan losses is based on the individual allowances for loan losses of each bank and any allowance amount or related adjustments at the parent-company level.  As previously discussed, the establishment of the allowance for loan losses relies on an estimation process at each bank that requires management review and judgment and factors in changes in economic conditions, loan volume and concentrations and collateral values, among other influences.  The allowance for loan losses is also dependent on and sensitive to risk ratings assigned to all loans, especially those that are individually evaluated, as well as on economic assumptions and delinquency trends driving historical loss experience.  Individual loan risk ratings are evaluated by experienced senior credit officers based on each lending relationship and situation.

Using models and other mathematical methodologies, each bank develops overall loss factors based on historical loss experience and on loan volume, loan quality trends, staffing levels and experience, past loss experience and current economic conditions.  In addition to the historical loss experience used in each bank's allowance computation, each bank documents local and regional environmental considerations which include, but are not limited to, levels of unemployment and jobless claims and anecdotal data regarding real estate market conditions, in addition to consideration of loan concentrations and the levels of experience and expertise of credit personnel at the banks.  These allowance for loan losses computations and related documentation are prepared quarterly.  Historical loss factors have been appropriately adjusted to reflect economic and other qualitative environmental conditions at the banks and throughout all regions.

In addition to the banks' allowance computations, adjustments or allowance amounts at the parent level are necessary from time to time.  At December 31, 2012, the parent had a negligible allowance related to loans carried on its books, following completion of a bulk sale of loans in late 2011.

Management believes its process and methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is appropriate and adequate to properly estimate losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance-sheet date; however, actual future losses will differ from amounts considered in the allowance methodology.

Bank regulatory agencies may have differing perspectives on the process, methodology and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses when examining the banks and, in addition, such agencies' examination teams may not be consistent in their review and conclusions from one bank to another.  Bank regulatory agencies have the authority to require adjustments or other changes to the recorded allowance for loan losses as a result of their examinations, superseding management's earlier judgment as to the adequacy and amount of the allowance for loan losses.  These regulatory agencies may require such changes or adjustments retroactively.  The changes or adjustments may be required to be made long after management completed its process for the evaluation and documentation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, based on

F-48

information not available to management at the time that process was completed, and can be based on the sole judgment of the examination teams.

The process of determining the level of the allowance for loan losses at each individual bank, and on a consolidated basis, requires a high degree of subjective judgment.  It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions.  At December 31, 2012, Capitol's allowance for loan losses approximated 5.26% of portfolio loans outstanding.  Based on portfolio loans outstanding at that date, any one basis-point (.01%) change in the allowance would have an approximate $121,000 impact on both the allowance for loan losses and pre-tax income (loss).

Accounting for Income Taxes.  Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and management judgment.  At December 31, 2012, Capitol had a gross deferred income tax asset approximating $190.4 million, before consideration of the related 2012 valuation allowance ($190.5 million at December 31, 2012).  When it is determined that realization of the deferred income tax asset is in doubt, a valuation reserve is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount which is more-likely-than-not realizable.

As of December 31, 2012, the consolidated deferred income tax asset, excluding the related valuation allowance, consisted primarily of components relating to the allowance for loan losses and net operating loss carryforwards of consolidated subsidiaries.

Due to continuing operating losses, management reassessed the potential realization of the deferred tax asset during 2012 and adjusted the valuation allowance to $190.5 million, to reduce the net deferred income taxes to a net liability of $35,000.  Such valuation allowance approximated $198.2 million at December 31, 2011.  The potential realization of the deferred tax asset will continue to be assessed for future changes affecting realizability, and the valuation allowance may be adjusted in future periods accordingly.  The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible.  Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time.  The accounting for deferred taxes is based, in part, on an estimate of future results.  Differences between anticipated and actual outcomes of these future tax consequences could have a material impact on Capitol's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Consolidation Policy.  Current accounting rules require consolidation of entities which are majority-owned or controlled by Capitol.  This means that majority-owned banks and bank-development subsidiaries are combined with Capitol for financial reporting purposes, along with banks and other subsidiaries which are wholly-owned.  The consolidated balance sheet includes all assets and liabilities of those entities.  However, after giving effect to the noncontrolling interests in net income or losses of consolidated subsidiaries, net income (loss) attributable to Capitol only includes the entities' net income or loss to the extent of Capitol's ownership.  Reported results would be materially different if Capitol had 100% ownership of those entities.

F-49

New Accounting Standards

Certain new accounting standards were issued or became effective in 2012, in addition to some which have later effective dates.  Those are listed and discussed in Note B of the consolidated financial statements, beginning on page F-70.

Risk Factors Affecting Capitol and its Banks

The summary below is not a complete list of all risk factors identified by management.  Readers are encouraged to review Capitol's Form 10-K (Item 1A), Capitol's cautions regarding forward-looking statements appearing on page F-6 of this Annual Report and other SEC filings, particularly registration statements, for a more comprehensive review of risk factors, which include the following, among others:

·  Capitol may not be able to successfully emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and restructure its existing debt obligations;  

·  Some doubt (potentially significant doubt) exists as to Capitol's ability to continue as a going concern;  

·  The regulatory environment for the banking industry could change significantly and adversely, and Capitol and its banking subsidiaries are dependent upon continued cooperation by regulatory agencies;  

·  The FDIC could assess the potential cross-guaranty liability for the failed Florida institution prior to its expiration in November 2013;  

·  A weakened economic environment may slow further, resulting in higher levels of nonperforming loans and loan losses;  

·  The current environment for raising capital is unstable and may limit growth plans and operations;  

·  Changes in regulations or regulatory action regarding Capitol or its banks could limit future expansion plans and operations;  

·  The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and actual losses and regulatory determinations may differ materially from those estimates;  

·  Concentrations in loans secured by commercial real estate could limit or delay future expansion plans and loss estimates could change significantly if real estate market conditions deteriorate further;  

·  Loss estimates for real estate collateral-dependent loans are based on independent appraisals which are subject to change;  

F-50

·  Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost and are a restricted security which may be redeemed only by the issuer; the issuer's future ability to redeem the security is subject to its liquidity and capital adequacy; and  

·  The complexity of Capitol's structure (a mixture of partially-owned and wholly-owned banks and related entities) complicates financial analysis.

Of course, in addition to the items listed above, changes in interest rates can have a pervasive impact on Capitol and its banks.

Capitol has a risk management program in place which endeavors to manage these and other risks.

Management's Report on

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Capitol Bancorp Ltd. ("Capitol") 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments.

We, as management of Capitol, are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The system of internal control over financial reporting, as it relates to the financial statements, is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits.  Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified.  Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control 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, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

Capitol's Audit Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors, meets regularly with management, internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm, and reviews audit plans and results, as well as management's actions taken in discharging responsibilities for accounting, financial reporting and internal control.  BDO USA, LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and the internal auditors have direct and confidential access to Capitol's Audit Committee at all times to discuss the results of their examinations.

Management assessed Capitol's system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, Capitol's system of internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012.  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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Corporation will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note U to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation and substantially all of its subsidiary banks have suffered significant losses from operations primarily from large provisions for loan losses and costs associated with nonperforming assets, suffered a decline in regulatory capital, and experienced regulatory issues that raise substantial doubt about the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern.  In addition, on August 9, 2012, the Corporation and an affiliate filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note U.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTE A—NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Capitol Bancorp Limited ("Capitol" or the "Corporation") is a multibank holding company.  Consolidated bank subsidiaries consist of the following as of December 31, 2012:

Affiliate	Location	Percentage Owned or Controlled by Capitol	Percentage Owned by Subsidiaries Controlled by Capitol	Year Formed or Acquired
Arizona Region:
Central Arizona Bank	Casa Grande, Arizona	66%	31%	1997
Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque	Albuquerque, New Mexico	(1)	100%	2000
Sunrise Bank of Arizona	Phoenix, Arizona	(1)	100%	1998
Great Lakes Region:
Bank of Maumee	Maumee, Ohio	(1)	51%	2006
Capitol National Bank(2)	Lansing, Michigan	51%		1982
Indiana Community Bank	Goshen, Indiana	(1)	100%	2000
Michigan Commerce Bank	Ann Arbor, Michigan	(1)	100%	1990
Nevada Region:
1st Commerce Bank	North Las Vegas, Nevada	30%	64%	2006
Bank of Las Vegas	Las Vegas, Nevada	(1)	100%	2002
Southeast Region:
Pisgah Community Bank	Asheville, North Carolina	84%	12%	2008
Sunrise Bank	Atlanta, Georgia	78%	19%	2006

(1)	Majority-owned by a bank-development subsidiary (second-tier bank holding company) in which Capitol holds a controlling interest.
(2)	Pursuant to two separate share exchanges consummated in 2011 and 2012, Capitol reduced its ownership of Capitol National Bank to approximately 33%.  However, Capitol retained control of Capitol National Bank and the right to vote over 50% of the outstanding shares until February 2013.

Capitol has several bank-development subsidiaries, each originally capitalized with two classes of common stock, voting and nonvoting.  Capitol purchased all of the initial voting shares of common stock of these entities while the nonvoting shares were sold in private offerings to accredited investors, some of whom are related parties of Capitol.  Those entities have been engaged in bank development activities, through Capitol, consisting of formation and investment in start-up banks and management of their investments in young banks.  Bank start-up activities were suspended in mid-2008 when the regulatory and capital-raising environment for new banks became unfavorable.  Each of these entities bear a similar name, Capitol Development Bancorp Limited ("CDBL"), each numbered in their sequential formation, CDBL I through CDBL VIII.  CDBL I and CDBL II became wholly-owned by

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTE A—NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION—Continued

Capitol effective November 30, 2006 and February 9, 2007, respectively, and were merged with and into Capitol in 2007.  CDBL III ceased to be a controlled subsidiary of Capitol in 2009.

Capitol views itself as a community-banking company.  Capitol's activities consist of management and oversight of banks in which it has a direct or indirect controlling interest and, through mid-2008, included formation of start-up banks.  Some of Capitol's banks were formed with a portion of their start-up capital provided by local investors in the communities of those banks.  As a means to raise and reallocate capital, Capitol commenced an initiative in 2009 to selectively divest of some of its community banks (see Note M).

Financial Restructuring Plan

On June 22, 2012, Capitol announced the commencement of a voluntary restructuring plan designed to facilitate Capitol's objective of converting existing debt, including senior notes and trust-preferred securities, to equity and with the primary objectives of enhancing capital levels, improving liquidity and accelerating Capitol's return to profitability.  The initiative includes the opportunity to preserve Capitol's substantial deferred tax assets.

Under the restructuring plan, which was approved by Capitol's board of directors and reviewed with Capitol's primary regulators, existing debt holders were asked to exchange their debt securities for both preferred and common stock of the Corporation (the "Exchange Offer").  Simultaneously, Capitol solicited votes from all debt and equity holders for a prepackaged plan of reorganization (the "Standby Plan") for Capitol and its affiliate, Financial Commerce Corporation ("FCC", formerly known as Michigan Commerce Bancorp Limited), to be commenced in the event that the Exchange Offer was not successful.   The Standby Plan contemplates the conversion of all current trust-preferred security holders, unsecured senior note holders, current preferred equity shareholders and current common equity shareholders into new classes of common stock, which will retain approximately 53% of the voting control and value of the restructured company.  Capitol is also actively seeking external capital sources sufficient to restore all affiliate institutions to "well-capitalized" status in exchange for approximately 47% of the restructured Corporation.

The restructuring initiatives will facilitate the conversion of Capitol's trust-preferred securities to equity and strengthen the composition of Capitol's capital base by increasing its Tier 1 common and tangible common equity ratios.  Through this restructuring plan, and current capital raising efforts, Capitol expects to have increased capital flexibility to continue to support its community banking platform.

The Exchange Offer and voting on the Standby Plan expired on July 27, 2012.  The results were overwhelmingly in support of the Standby Plan.  All classes voted to accept the Standby Plan with all votes substantially exceeding the required thresholds for a successful solicitation.  The conditions were not satisfied for the exchange offers to the existing debt holders.

Accordingly, Capitol proceeded with a voluntary prepackaged bankruptcy filing in order to restructure its debt and streamline its capital structure.

Bankruptcy Filings

On August 9, 2012, Capitol and its affiliate FCC (collectively the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (the "Court").  The Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases (the "Chapter 11 Cases") are being jointly administered under Case Number 12-58409.  Capitol and FCC continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court.  Capitol's banking subsidiaries are not part of the filing and continue to conduct business on an uninterrupted basis.

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 852, Reorganizations, which is applicable to companies in Chapter 11, generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared.  However, it does require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business.  Amounts that can be directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business must be reported separately as reorganization items in the consolidated statements of operations beginning in the quarter ending September 30, 2012.  The consolidated balance sheet must distinguish prepetition liabilities subject to compromise from both those prepetition liabilities that are not subject to compromise (none as of December 31, 2012) and from post-petition liabilities.  Liabilities that may be affected by a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.  Capitol applied ASC Topic 852 effective August 9, 2012 and will segregate those items as previously outlined for all reporting periods subsequent to such date until emergence from Chapter 11.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION—Continued

Capitol and its subsidiaries are engaged in a single business activity--banking.  Capitol's bank affiliates provide a full range of banking services to individuals, businesses and other customers located in the respective communities of each bank.  Many operate from a single location and all are primarily commercially-focused (as contrasted to retail or transaction-oriented banks) on meeting the various credit and other financial needs of entrepreneurs, professionals and other businesses and individuals.  A variety of deposit products are offered, including checking, savings, money market, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts.  In addition, wealth-management, trust and investment services are offered through a wealth-management subsidiary.  The principal markets for the banks' financial services are the communities in which the banks are located and the areas immediately surrounding those communities.  The majority of Capitol's banks are state-chartered institutions, some have been chartered as federal savings banks and one has a national bank charter.

In addition to banking units, mortgage banking activities are offered through Amera Mortgage Corporation, a less than 50%-owned affiliate, which is accounted for under the equity method.  Trust and wealth-management products are offered through Capitol Wealth, Inc., a controlled subsidiary.

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 and are managed and monitored separately, each bank is substantially similar in terms of business focus, type of customers, products, services and economic characteristics.  Further, each of the banks and the Corporation are subject to substantially similar laws and regulations unique to the financial institution 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 and/or otherwise controlled subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions and after giving effect to applicable noncontrolling interests.  Banks formed or acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements for periods after joining the consolidated group.

Reclassifications:  Certain 2011 and 2010 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.  For comparative purposes, original balances as previously reported for periods prior to 2012 have been adjusted to exclude amounts related to discontinued operations (see Note M).

NOTE B—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Estimates:  The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, requires management to make significant 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 will differ from those estimates because of the inherent subjectivity and inaccuracy of any estimation.

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 Sale:  Loans held for sale represent residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale into the secondary market.  Loans held for sale are stated at the aggregate lower of cost or market.  Fees from the origination of loans held for sale are recognized in the period the loans are originated.  Government-guaranteed loans which may be sold after origination are not classified as held-for-sale inasmuch as the sale of such loans is largely dependent upon the extent to which gains may be realized.

Derivatives:Residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale are originated by Capitol's banks.  When a customer has locked the interest rate on a mortgage application, and the banks have approved a loan commitment, the interest rate lock agreement is treated as a derivative, and a firm loan commitment.  The banks use forward delivery commitments to sell the mortgage loans into the secondary market.  The interest rate lock and forward delivery commitments are derivatives, and are offsetting agreements that serve as a hedge of the banks' exposure to interest rate changes and the resulting fluctuation of the commitments.  The fair value of the commitments are netted and recorded in the balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations.

Investment Securities:  Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair 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 fair value (see Note D).

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.  Capitol primarily presents its portfolio loan information on a segment basis that is further subdivided into classes on the basis of collateral types.

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' communities.  Consistent with the banks' emphasis on business lending, there are concentrations of credit risk in loans secured by commercial real estate and less significant levels of concentration risk may exist in loans secured by 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 exposure to losses from credit risk by requiring collateral and/or guarantees for loans and by monitoring concentrations of credit, in addition to recording provisions for loan losses and maintaining an allowance for loan losses.

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 for loan losses 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 for loan losses charged to operations and reduced by net charge-offs.  Delinquent loans are generally charged-off at 120 days past due for closed-end loans and 180 days past due for revolving lines of credit or at an earlier time if a loss-confirming event has occurred, unless the loan is both well-secured and in process of collection.  Because the allowance for loan losses is based on significant estimates, actual future loan losses will differ from such estimates.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired, including loans which are considered to be troubled debt restructurings.  The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current qualitative environmental factors.  The Corporation maintains a loss history analysis that tracks loan losses and recoveries based on loan class as well as the loan risk grade assignment.

For all classes of loans, a loan is placed into nonaccrual status generally before the loan becomes 90 days past due if it becomes probable that the borrower cannot make all scheduled payments, full repayment of principal and interest is not expected or the loan is identified as having loss elements, or when any loan becomes past due 90 days or more

F-66

NOTE B—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued

unless the loan is determined to be well secured and in the process of collection.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due have been brought current, have demonstrated timely payment performance for a period of time and future payments are reasonably assured.

For all classes of loans, a loan is considered impaired when it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a loan agreement will not be collected, including contractually scheduled interest and principal payments.  At a minimum, all loans greater than $500,000 or $250,000 (based on aggregate relationship) are individually evaluated for impairment for banking subsidiaries with total assets of $200 million or more or less than $200 million, respectively, when it is determined the loan is impaired.  A specific allowance allocation may be recorded for troubled debt restructurings or a charge-down taken in the amount of the impairment to reduce the loan to its net realizable value.  No reserve allocation is considered necessary when there is sufficient collateral that is held to protect the bank from loss on impaired loans.  Groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, these loans are not generally separately identified for impairment evaluation.

Loan modifications or restructurings are accounted for as troubled debt restructurings if, for economic or legal reasons, it has been determined that a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the bank grants a "concession" to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  For all classes of loans, a troubled debt restructuring may involve a modification of terms, such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or loan balance, a reduction of accrued interest, an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than a current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, or some combination thereof involving a concession to the borrower to facilitate repayment.  Loans modified and classified as troubled debt restructurings are impaired loans.  Troubled debt restructurings generally remain classified as impaired until the borrower has demonstrated timely payment performance for a period of time pursuant to the modified terms of the loan, or renewed at an interest rate that is at a market rate for loans with similar risk characteristics.

Capitol's banks have stand-by letters of credit outstanding that, when issued, commit the banks to make payments on behalf of customers if certain specified future events occur, generally being nonpayment by the customer to a counterparty.  These obligations generally expire within one year and require collateral and/or personal guarantees by the borrower and its principals based on management's assessment of loss exposure.  The maximum credit risk associated with these instruments equals their contractual amounts, assuming that the borrower defaults and related collateral proves to be worthless.  The total contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements since many of those guarantees expire without being drawn upon.

NOTE B—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued

Credit risk also arises from amounts of funds on deposit at other financial institutions (i.e., due from banks) to the extent balances exceed the limits of deposit insurance.  Capitol periodically monitors the financial position of such financial institutions to evaluate credit risk.

Interest and Fees on Loans:  Interest income on loans is recognized based upon the principal balance of loans outstanding.  Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield.  Direct costs of successful origination of portfolio loans generally exceed fees from loan originations (net deferred costs approximated $1.2 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively).

For all classes of loans, the accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to interest (i.e., placed on nonaccrual status).  When interest accruals are discontinued, interest previously accrued (but unpaid) is reversed against interest income.  Interest payments subsequently received on such loans may be accounted for on a cash basis as to interest income, provided that collectability of principal is expected and until the loan qualifies for being returned to accrual status.  If collectability of principal is not expected, subsequent payments of interest are applied to principal.  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 the process of collection.

Transfers of Financial Assets:  Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the transferred asset has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the bank and are presumptively beyond the reach of the bank and its creditors (even in bankruptcy or other receivership), (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred asset through an agreement to repurchase it before maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.  Transfers of financial assets are generally limited to participating interests in commercial loans sold as well as sale of government-guaranteed loans and the sale of residential mortgage loans into the secondary market, the extent of which is disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Premises and Equipment:  Premises and equipment are stated on the basis of cost.  Depreciation, which relates primarily to equipment, furniture and software 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 shorter of the respective lease term or estimated useful life.

NOTE B—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued

Other Real Estate:  Other real estate is comprised of properties acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.  At the time of foreclosure, the carrying value of such properties is adjusted to estimated fair value (less estimated costs to sell) when transferred from portfolio loans to other real estate owned, establishing a new cost-basis.  These properties held for sale are subsequently carried at the lower of the new cost-basis or estimated fair value (less estimated costs to sell) and are periodically reviewed for subsequent impairment.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments:  Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using market information and other assumptions and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, assumptions and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or market conditions could significantly affect such estimates.

Share-Based Compensation:  Stock options state a specific exercise price and expiration date and may be exercised by the optionee upon payment of the exercise price and related taxes due from the optionee; the Corporation, in its discretion, may permit cashless exercises of stock options.  Generally, previously unissued shares of common stock are issued upon exercise of stock options.  Compensation expense for stock option awards is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the award based on the fair value of the option, computed using a Black-Scholes valuation model.  Compensation expense for awards of restricted common stock is recognized ratably over the vesting periods of such awards (generally ranging from four to fifteen years), based on the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.  Stock price volatility used in a Black-Scholes valuation model for stock options is based on historical volatility.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. government securities with a maturity date consistent with the expected option life.  The expected option life is estimated based on past exercise behavior of optionees and the related option term.

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 and wealth-management revenues are recorded on the accrual method.

Federal Income Taxes:  Capitol and its subsidiaries which are owned 80% or more by Capitol file a consolidated federal income tax return.  Deferred federal 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.  When it is determined that realization of deferred tax assets may be in doubt, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce those assets to the amount which is more-likely-than-not realizable.  The effect on income taxes of a

change in tax laws or rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Capitol:  Basic net loss per share attributable to Capitol is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Capitol by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, exclusive of unvested restricted shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per share attributable to Capitol is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus common share equivalents calculated for stock options, warrants and restricted common stock outstanding using the treasury stock method.  Common stock equivalents are excluded from per-share computations to the extent they are antidilutive.

Comprehensive Income (Loss):  Comprehensive income (loss) is the sum of net income (loss) and certain items which are charged or credited to equity which, for Capitol, is the net change in the fair value adjustment for investment securities available for sale.

New Accounting Standards:  In April 2011, an accounting standards update was issued to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed upon terms.  This standard eliminates consideration of the transferor's ability to fulfill its contractual rights and obligations from the criteria, as well as related implementation guidance (i.e., that it possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets), in determining effective control, even in the event of default by the transferee.  Other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by this new guidance.  This new guidance became effective January 1, 2012 and did not have any effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements upon implementation.

In May 2011, an accounting standards update was issued which amended the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements to explain how to measure fair value in certain instances; however, this update does not require additional fair value measurements.  Some of the amendments include clarification regarding the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's stockholders' equity, measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement, expanded disclosure requirements to include quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and expanded disclosure of the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for the items that are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet, but for where the estimated fair value is required to be disclosed (i.e., portfolio loans and deposits).  This new guidance was effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2012 and did not have a material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements upon implementation.

The new disclosures of the fair value levels of the Corporation's assets and liabilities are set forth in Note Q.

In June 2011, an accounting standards update was issued to amend the options available for the presentation of other comprehensive income.  An entity has the option of presenting the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements, but may no longer present the components of comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity.  This new guidance was effective retrospectively for all annual and interim periods presented beginning January 1, 2012 and the Corporation now presents a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In February 2013, an accounting standards update was issued to amend and improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements.  However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.  In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.  For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts.  This new guidance is effective prospectively for all annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2013 and management does not expect it will have a material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements upon implementation.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies.  Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

As required by ASC Topic 852, the amount of liabilities subject to compromise represents management's estimate of known or potential prepetition and post-petition claims to be addressed in connection with the bankruptcy filing.  Such claims are subject to future adjustments.  The liabilities subject to compromise consist of the following at December 31, 2012 (in $1,000s):

Trust-preferred securities	$	151,296
Senior notes		6,820
Accrued interest payable		33,318
Accrued estimated taxes payable		7,108
Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities		1,751
Total liabilities subject to compromise	$	200,293

In accordance with ASC Topic 852, interest was no longer accrued on the trust-preferred securities and senior notes included in liabilities subject to compromise after Capitol filed for bankruptcy protection.  If Capitol had continued to accrue interest on these debt obligations, additional contractual interest expense of approximately $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 would have been recorded.

Reorganization Items

Professional advisory fees and other costs directly associated with the reorganization are reported separately as reorganization items pursuant to ASC Topic 852.  From the August 9, 2012 bankruptcy filing date forward, the reorganization items for the year ended December 31, 2012 consisted of the following (in $1,000s):

Deferred issuance costs	$	2,081
Professional fees		875
Total reorganization items	$	2,956

Deferred issuance costs originated from the issuance of the trust-preferred securities which have been included in liabilities subject to compromise.  In accordance with ASC Topic 852, the trust-preferred securities were required to be adjusted to the allowed amount of the claim and, as such, the remaining accumulated deferred issuance costs as of the bankruptcy filing date were written off and reported as a reorganization item.

At December 31, 2012, securities with a fair value approximating $3.5 million were pledged to secure public and trust deposits and securities with a fair value approximating $2.7 million were pledged for other purposes as required by law.

Securities held for long-term investment are not subject to the classification and accounting rules relating to most typical investments.  In addition, Capitol's corporate investments consist mostly of equity-method investments in non-public enterprises which, accordingly, are outside of the scope of accounting rules for most typical investments which often require use of estimated fair value.  Those entities, which are primarily involved in making equity investments in or financing small businesses, use the fair value method of accounting in valuing their investment portfolios.  Notwithstanding that those investments are outside of the scope of such accounting rules, they are included in Capitol's investment securities for financial reporting purposes to summarize all such securities together.

Consumer				38
Total past due loans		815		4,223
Total nonperforming loans	$	131,393	$	217,860

If nonperforming loans had performed in accordance with their contractual terms during the year, estimated additional interest income of $11.5 million, $17.6 million and $17.1 million would have been recorded in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Estimated interest income recognized on loans in nonaccrual status in 2012, 2011 and 2010 operations approximated $561,000, $716,000 and $399,000, respectively.

Impaired loans, which do not have an allowance requirement, include collateral-dependent loans for which direct write-downs have been made and, accordingly, no allowance requirement or allocation is necessary.  During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the average recorded investment in impaired loans approximated $278.2 million, $314.3 million and $324.4 million, respectively.  Interest income is recorded on impaired loans if not on nonaccrual status, or may be recorded on a cash basis in some circumstances, if such payments are not credited to principal.  In 2012, 2011 and 2010, interest income recorded on impaired loans approximated $12.4 million, $13.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTE E—LOANS—Continued

Capitol categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt obligations based on current financial information, aging analysis, historical payment experience, credit documentation and public information, among other factors.  Capitol analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis generally includes all loans and is generally performed at least quarterly.  The following loan risk rating definitions are used:

Pass.  Loans classified with a pass rating have been deemed to have acceptable credit quality by bank management.

Watch.  Loans classified as watch have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention.  If not improved, those potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan in the future.

Substandard.  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the fair value of collateral or by the borrower's current net worth or paying capacity.  Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt obligation by the borrower.  These are characterized by the reasonable possibility that some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not favorably resolved.

Based on management's most recent analysis, the risk categories of loans are summarized as follows (in $1,000s):

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Capitol has designated a troubled debt restructuring as a loan that has been modified because the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan meets one or more of the following criteria:

1. An extension or renewal of a substandard rated loan with no change in rate or terms, and the terms provided are not representative of current market rates for credits with similar risk characteristics;

2. Modification of the interest rate in order to allow the borrower to repay the debt, based on current cash flow sources;

3. A loan modified to an "interest only" structure for a period of time that will result in the loan being paid off, returned to the contracted terms or refinanced; or

4. A modification of a loan into an A/B note structure, where the A note is at market rate terms and conditions, and the B note has been charged off.

Loans modified and classified as troubled debt restructurings are impaired loans.  Each loan that is designated as a troubled debt restructuring is individually evaluated for impairment to determine the specific reserve, if any, to be established.  The specific reserve is determined using the discounted cash flow method, the collateral dependency method or, when available, the observable market price method, and is calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the result of the impairment measurement method.

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTE E—LOANS—Continued

The loan portfolios contain primarily three categories of troubled debt restructurings, (1) loans for which the rate or terms have been modified, (2) substandard loans for which the rate or terms have not been modified but the loan was extended or renewed, and (3) loans that have been modified with interest only terms.  The following are the factors that enter into the determination of the specific reserve for each of these categories:

Loans for which the rate or terms have been modified:  The specific reserve for loans in this category, for which the repayment ability is based on the cash flows of the borrower, is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, adjusted for a probability-of-default factor.  The discount period used is based on when the bank believes, depending on cash flows from the borrower or project, that the loan will be paid in full or refinanced.  If an event for paydown or an expected refinance cannot be documented, a discount period that will result in the cash flows being adjusted for a probability of default from the borrower, reducing the loan balance down to the collateral value, is generally used.  If the loan is deemed collateral dependent, the reserve will be determined using the collateral dependency method.

Loans for which there has been no rate or term modification:  If there has been no change in the rate and term, a discounted cash flow analysis, adjusted for a probability of default, is calculated to determine the specific reserve.

Loans that have interest only terms:  Unless there is a specific event that can be documented which will result in the loan being paid, returned to the original contract terms or refinanced, these loans are generally treated as collateral-dependent and the specific reserve is based on the net value of the collateral held.

Troubled debt restructurings which have a payment default are subject to a similar credit risk evaluation as other loans that are in default.  Generally, loans that are in payment default are moved to collateral dependency as the source of repayment, and the determination of the specific reserve for these loans is based on the net value of the collateral held.

The total amount of troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is detailed in the following tables by loan type and accrual status (in $1,000s):

NOTE F—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, Capitol's banking subsidiaries make loans to officers and directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, including their immediate families and companies in which they are principal owners.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, total loans outstanding to these persons were $23.6 million and $40.6 million, respectively.  During 2012, $8.1 million of new loans were made to these persons, and repayments and other reductions (including bank divestitures) totaled $25.1 million.  Such loans were 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, which approximated $25.4 million and $20.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are accepted based upon the banks' normal terms as to interest rate, term and deposit insurance.

NOTE H—GOODWILL

Capitol's review for potential goodwill impairment has been performed annually as of November 30^th by comparing estimated entity fair value to its net assets.  This review was performed at the applicable subsidiary reporting-unit level which has recorded goodwill resulting from specific share-exchange transactions or acquisitions and on a consolidated basis.  An interim review for potential goodwill impairment becomes necessary when events or changes in circumstances indicate potential for impairment between annual review dates.

Capitol's annual review for potential goodwill impairment in 2010 concluded that all of its recorded goodwill (approximately $64.5 million, including $8.7 million from discontinued operations) was deemed to be impaired.  Accordingly, such amount was written-off as of December 31, 2010.

F-89

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTE H—GOODWILL—Continued

Management's decision to write-off all goodwill as being impaired at that date was based, in part, upon the following macro-basis considerations:

· A dramatic decline in Capitol's aggregate market-capitalization, i.e., the computational result of multiplying the number of Capitol's common shares outstanding by the per-share market price of such common stock (estimated fair value);

· Capitol's tangible-equity deficit (total equity, less goodwill, prior to recording any goodwill impairment for 2010); and

· Pricing information from merger and acquisition transactions within the banking industry in the United States of America during 2010, as a multiple of tangible equity, and application of such multiple to Capitol's tangible-equity deficit prior to recording any goodwill impairment for 2010.

Management also evaluated whether events or circumstances earlier in 2010 suggested an interim review for impairment might be necessary.  An interim review for potential impairment was not considered necessary due to the absence of events or changes in Capitol's and its subsidiary reporting units' circumstances (since the preceding annual review in late 2009).  Such conclusion was confirmed by the macro-basis considerations discussed in the preceding paragraph, in addition to reporting unit-level (subsidiaries) analyses, which did not arise until the fourth quarter of 2010.

Amounts recorded as goodwill impairment are reflected within noninterest expense as a non-cash charge to operations, when determined.

NOTE I—DEPOSITS

The aggregate amount of time deposits of $100,000 or more approximated $430 million and $567 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Notes payable and short-term borrowings consisted of the following at December 31 (in $1,000s):

FHLB borrowings	$	4,937	$	37,955
Promissory notes		3,491		12,490
	$	8,428	$	50,445

FHLB borrowings represent advances secured by certain portfolio loans and other eligible collateral.  Such advances become due at varying dates and bear interest at market short-term rates (approximately 1.40% at December 31, 2012).  At December 31, 2012, unused lines of credit under these facilities approximated $113.3 million.  Assets pledged to secure these credit facilities consisted of portfolio loans in the amount of $229.6 million.  Continued availability of the FHLB credit facilities is subject to the FHLB's review of the banks' credit worthiness.

During 2008, Capitol completed a private offering of 9% promissory notes.  The promissory notes were purchased by accredited investors, including certain related parties of Capitol.  The promissory notes mature in 2013.  Interest is payable quarterly and the notes became callable in 2010.  In 2010, Capitol extinguished approximately $4.6 million in promissory notes in exchange for 1,374,000 shares of common stock resulting in a gain of $1.3 million.  The payment and accrual of interest on these promissory notes was discontinued as of the bankruptcy filing date; at December 31, 2012, the balance of these notes approximated $6.8 million and was included in liabilities subject to compromise (see Note C).  At December 31, 2011, the balance of these promissory notes was approximately $8.4 million and was included in the table above.

In October 2011, Capitol terminated an aircraft lease and issued a promissory note for the remaining balance of that lease.  Interest is payable monthly at an annual rate of 10% and the note matures in 2016.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the balance of this promissory note was approximately $3.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Securities of Capitol Trust I and XII were issued in public offerings in 1997 and 2008, respectively.  All other securities were formed in conjunction with private placements of trust-preferred securities.  Each of these securities has similar terms and, subject to certain provisions, may be called by Capitol five years after issuance.  The liquidation amount of these securities is guaranteed by Capitol.

On January 31, 2011, Capitol accepted for exchange 1,180,602 of the 2,530,000 outstanding shares of trust-preferred securities of Capitol Trust I and 773,934 of the 1,454,100 outstanding shares of trust-preferred securities of Capitol Trust XII and, pursuant to the related exchange offer, issued approximately 19.5 million previously-unissued shares of Capitol's common stock.  This exchange resulted in the retirement of approximately $19.5 million aggregate liquidation amount of the trust-preferred securities on a combined basis and eliminated approximately $3.4 million of accrued interest payable associated with the retired securities, which collectively increased Capitol's equity and regulatory capital by $21.9 million, including a gain on the transaction of approximately $16.9 million.

In 2009, the Corporation commenced the deferral of interest payments on its various trust-preferred securities, as is permitted under the terms of the securities, in order to conserve cash resources.  The payment of interest on those securities may be deferred for periods up to five years.  During such deferral periods, Capitol is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock (subject to certain exceptions) and is further restricted by Capitol's written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, which prohibits both payment of interest on the trust-preferred securities and cash dividends without prior written approval from

NOTE K—SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES—Continued

that agency.  Upon termination of a deferral-period, all prior accrued and unpaid interest becomes immediately due and payable to holders of the securities at that time.  Accrued interest payable on such securities approximated $33.3 million and $27.6 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Holders of the trust-preferred securities recognize current taxable income relating to the deferred interest payments.  The accrual of interest was discontinued as of the bankruptcy filing date (see Note C).

Documents governing the trusts give holders of the securities preference on liquidation over the holders of Capitol's common stock.  When the trust-preferred securities were issued, they were treated as qualifying regulatory capital.  Under current regulatory guidelines, none of Capitol's trust-preferred securities are included as qualifying regulatory capital as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE L—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In March 2011, Capitol's articles of incorporation were amended to increase its number of authorized shares from 70 million to 1.52 billion, of which 1.5 billion shares are classified as common stock and 20 million are classified as preferred stock.  Such amendment was approved at a special meeting of holders of the Corporation's common stock.  At that special meeting, a future reverse stock split at a later date was authorized, subject to the discretion of Capitol's board of directors as to the provisions of such reverse stock split, if any.

On June 30, 2010, Capitol issued an aggregate 95,000 shares of its Series A Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.  Of that aggregate issuance, 44,020 shares were issued to a consolidated subsidiary of Capitol and, accordingly, have been eliminated in consolidation.  The remaining 50,980 shares were issued to a bank-development company which is an unconsolidated affiliate of Capitol.  The liquidation preference of the shares issued is $100 per share, with an aggregate issuance of $9.5 million of which $4.4 million has been eliminated upon consolidation.  The Series A Preferred Stock is nonvoting and callable at Capitol's option after 36 months from date of issuance at $100 per share plus any accrued dividends.  Dividends on such shares are payable only when and if declared by Capitol's board of directors based on an annual rate of 6%.

In April 2010, Capitol completed an offering of 2.5 million shares of previously-unissued common stock and warrants for the purchase of 1.25 million additional shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds approximating $6.8 million with a corresponding increase to Capitol's stockholders' equity.  The warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 per warrant and expire in 2013.

Warrants for the purchase of 75,719 shares of Capitol's common stock, which were issued in 2009, were outstanding at December 31, 2011 and expired May 31, 2012.

NOTE N—EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

The Corporation has a contributory employee retirement plan (the "Plan") which covers substantially all full-time employees, over age 21, of Capitol and certain subsidiaries.  The Plan provides for employer contributions in amounts determined annually by Capitol's board of directors.  Eligible employees make voluntary contributions to the Plan.  Employer contributions to the Plan, a partial match based on employee contributions (1%, subject to certain limitations in 2012 and 2011; none in 2010), charged to expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 approximated $294,000 and $292,000, respectively (none in 2010).

Prior to 2011, Capitol also had a defined contribution employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") which covered substantially all employees of Capitol and certain subsidiaries.  Effective January 1, 2011, the ESOP was merged with and into Capitol's 401(k) plan, to form the Plan discussed above, to reduce future administrative and compliance costs.  There were no ESOP contributions charged to expense in 2010.

In addition to state income taxes, certain states in which the banks operate impose taxes based on measures other than income.  Tax expense associated with those jurisdictions approximated $309,500 in 2012 ($464,500 in 2011 and $670,000 in 2010) and is excluded from income tax expense (included as a component of other noninterest expense).

Federal income taxes paid in 2012, 2011 and 2010 approximated $230,000, $278,000 and $715,000, respectively.  No state income taxes were paid in 2012 ($84,000 was paid in 2011 and $62,000 was paid in 2010).

Differences between income tax expense recorded and amounts computed using the statutory tax rate (in $1,000s) are reconciled below based on operating results (including discontinued operations):

NOTE O—INCOME TAXES—Continued

Capitol had a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets to reduce such net assets to an amount which was deemed to be realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The valuation allowance may reduce income tax expense accrual requirements to the extent of Capitol's profitability in future periods.

Net deferred income tax assets, a component of other assets, consisted of the following at December 31 (in $1,000s):

	2012			2011

In conjunction with its annual review, management concluded that there were no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in Capitol's consolidated financial statements.  Such evaluation was performed for 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, which are the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions, updated as of December 31, 2012.

NOTE O—INCOME TAXES—Continued

Capitol's consolidated federal tax returns for 2004 through 2009 were selected for examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") due to the reporting of significant operating loss carrybacks from 2008 and 2009, and subsequent refund received in 2010.  The examination was concluded in 2012 and, as a result of this examination, Capitol has recorded a federal income tax liability approximating $6.4 million plus interest of $422,000 at year-end.

Capitol may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties associated with tax liabilities by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments would likely be immaterial.  To the extent Capitol may receive an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of other noninterest expense; such amounts have been negligible during the periods presented.

NOTE Q—FAIR VALUE

Accounting standards establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the use of fair value inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2:  Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The following is a description of Capitol's valuation methodologies used to measure and disclose the fair values of its assets and liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis:

Investment securities available for sale:  Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based on quoted prices, when available (Level 1 inputs).  If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models, as Level 2 inputs.

Mortgage loans held for sale:  Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value and are measured on a nonrecurring basis.  Mortgage loans held for sale written down to fair value would be included in the table below (none at December 31, 2012 and 2011).  Fair value is based on independent quoted market prices, where applicable (Level 1 inputs), or the prices for other whole mortgage loans with similar characteristics, as Level 2 inputs.

Loans:  The Corporation does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.  However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral-dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price, current appraised value of the collateral or other estimates of fair value, as Level 3 inputs.

Other real estate owned:  At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed properties are adjusted to estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell upon transfer from portfolio loans to other real estate owned, establishing a new carrying value.  The Corporation subsequently adjusts estimated fair value on other real estate owned on a nonrecurring basis to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price or current appraisal data, as Level 3 inputs.

Long-lived and indefinite lived assets:  The Corporation does not record long-lived or indefinite lived assets at fair value on a recurring basis.  However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to a long-lived or indefinite asset are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price or other estimate of fair value in the event of impairment.

NOTE Q—FAIR VALUE—Continued

Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, which are based primarily upon estimates, are often calculated based on current pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors.  Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.  Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique and, further, changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no liabilities measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31 were as follows (in $1,000s):

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTE Q—FAIR VALUE—Continued

Many of Capitol's collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned assets are located in severely depressed real estate markets.  In those markets, appraisal data may be of limited usefulness in estimating fair value because comparable sale transactions are infrequent, not orderly and are often distressed or forced.  Further, such comparable sale transactions may be lower, or substantially less than, amounts which could be realized in orderly (and not distressed or forced) sales between the owner/occupant and a future user of the property.

Updated appraisals are generally obtained when it has been determined that a loan has become collateral-dependent.  Adjustments to the loan's carrying value (or requirements for an allocation of the allowance for loan losses) are made, when appropriate, after the review of an appraisal or evaluation.  The timing of when a collateral-dependent loan should be classified as a nonperforming loan is contingent upon several factors, including the performance of the loan, the borrower's payment history and/or results of the bank's review of updated borrower financial information.

When a borrower's performance has deteriorated (for example, the borrower has become delinquent on required payments, the borrower's updated financial information received indicates adverse financial trends or sales/leasing activity is less than expected in the case of multi-unit properties), the loan will be downgraded and, if appropriate, an updated appraisal will be ordered for the loan if it is deemed collateral-dependent.  Non-collateral dependent loans will be included within loss contingency pools, in conjunction with estimating the bank's requirements for its allowance for loan losses.  Upon receipt and review of updated appraisal data and after any further fair value analysis is completed on those loans deemed to be collateral-dependent, the loans will be further evaluated for appropriate write-down.  Negative differences between appraised value, less estimated costs to sell, and the related carrying value of the loans are charged to the allowance for loan losses, as partial write-downs/charge-offs, on a timely basis.  Occasionally, additional potential loss amounts may be included if circumstances exist which may further adversely impact fair value estimates.  Internally-developed evaluations may be used when the amount of a loan is less than $250,000.  Internally-prepared evaluations may also be used to estimate the current valuation changes driven by current economic conditions.  Updated fair value information is generally obtained at least annually for collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned.

NOTE Q—FAIR VALUE—Continued

Estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities in the preceding table are based upon a comparison of current interest rates on financial instruments and the timing of related scheduled cash flows to the estimated present value of such cash flows using current estimated market rates of interest (unless quoted market values or other fair value information is more readily available, except subordinated debentures, for which the fair value is based on the liquidation or principal amount outstanding).  For example, the estimated fair value of portfolio loans is determined based on discounted cash flow computations.  Similarly, the estimated fair values of time deposits, notes payable and other borrowings were determined through discounted cash flow computations.  Except for subordinated debentures, such estimates of fair value are not intended to represent portfolio liquidation value and, accordingly, only represent an estimate of fair value based on current financial reporting requirements.

Given current economic conditions, the majority of the loan portfolio is not readily marketable and, accordingly, market prices may not exist.  Capitol has not attempted to market the loan portfolio to potential buyers, if any exist, to determine the fair value of those instruments.  Since negotiated prices, if any, in illiquid markets depend upon the then-present motivations of the buyer and seller, it is reasonable to assume that potential sales prices could vary widely from any estimate of fair value made without the benefit of negotiations.  Additionally, changes in market interest rates commensurate with risk may dramatically impact the value of financial instruments at any time.  Accordingly, fair value measurements for loans included in the preceding table are unlikely to represent the instruments' liquidation values.

NOTE R—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 ($4.2 million and $4.8 million outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively).  Other loan commitments outstanding consist of unused lines of credit and approved, but unfunded, specific loan commitments ($87.7 million and $98.4 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively).  Those 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.

Capitol's 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, 2011 was $25,000 (none at December 31, 2012).

Deposits at the banking subsidiaries are insured up to the maximum amount covered by FDIC insurance.  From December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts were fully insured regardless of the amount and account ownership, separate from and in addition to the FDIC insurance coverage provided for the depositors' other accounts.

Capitol has guaranteed up to $2.5 million of secured borrowings by Amera Mortgage Corporation, a less than 50%-owned affiliate.  As of December 31, 2012, management has evaluated the risk and potential loss in connection with this guarantee and concluded that no liability exists.

Generally, banks are subject to cross-guaranty liability regarding other financial institutions the FDIC determines are controlled by any multibank holding company.  Pursuant to federal regulations, an insured depository institution may be liable for any loss the FDIC has incurred or expects to incur in connection with the failure of a former affiliate institution and, if the FDIC determines that remaining affiliates have a liability to the FDIC, then they would be required to pay that liability to the FDIC.  Payment of a cross-guaranty liability to the FDIC could have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, capital adequacy and financial position of Capitol and its banking subsidiaries.

To date, none of Capitol's subsidiary banks have received any notice of assessment of cross-guaranty liability.  Capitol's banks have, however, received notice from the FDIC that the FDIC may assess a cross-guaranty liability relating to a failed community bank in Florida which ceased operations in November 2009.  The FDIC alleges that the Florida bank was an affiliated institution of Capitol, although Capitol owned no securities of that bank or otherwise controlled the failed institution.  The aggregate loss to the FDIC of that failed bank approximated $23.6 million.  Previously, the FDIC had until November 2011, two years from the date of such notice, to determine whether to assess that potential cross-guaranty liability, if any.  In November 2011, the FDIC and Capitol's banks entered into a mutual tolling agreement which extends the ability of the FDIC to impose the cross-guaranty liability, as well as extends the statute of limitations for the banks to take action against the FDIC for two additional years, ending in November 2013.

In addition to the above-mentioned potential cross-guaranty liability, some of Capitol's banking subsidiaries were advised in December 2009 that, to mitigate the effects of any possible assessment arising from potential cross-guaranty liability, they should develop a

plan to arrange a sale, merger or recapitalization such that Capitol no longer controls the bank.  This guidance was preceded by Capitol's previously-announced plans to selectively divest of some of its bank subsidiaries in conjunction with reallocating capital resources to the remaining banks.  Capitol's pending divestitures are subject to regulatory approval which may take an extended period of time to obtain.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which Capitol or its subsidiaries were a party, or to which any of its property was subject, except for proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management believes that pending legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Capitol.

NOTE S—CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RELATED REGULATORY MATTERS

Current banking regulations restrict the ability to transfer funds from subsidiaries to their parent in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.  As of December 31, 2012, Capitol's bank subsidiaries were prohibited from making dividend payments to the Corporation without prior regulatory approval.

Each bank and Capitol are subject to complex capital requirements.  Federal financial institution regulatory agencies impose certain risk-based capital requirements on financial institutions 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 and financial position.

Under the regulatory capital adequacy requirements 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 judgments by regulatory agencies with regard to components, risk weighting and other factors.

In September 2009, Capitol and its second-tier bank holding companies entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (the "Reserve Bank") under which Capitol agreed to refrain from the following actions without the prior written consent of the Reserve Bank:  (i) declare or pay dividends; (ii) receive dividends or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital from Michigan Commerce Bank, or from any of its subsidiary institutions that are subject to any restriction by the institution's federal or state

In addition, Capitol agreed to:  (i) submit to the Reserve Bank a written plan to maintain sufficient capital at Capitol on a consolidated basis and at Michigan Commerce Bank (as Capitol's largest bank subsidiary and a separate legal entity on a stand-alone basis); (ii) notify the Reserve Bank no more than 30 days after the end of any quarter in which Capitol's consolidated or Michigan Commerce Bank's capital ratios fall below the approved capital plan's minimum ratios as well as if any subsidiary institution's ratios fall below the minimum ratios required by the institution's federal or state regulator; (iii) review and revise its ALLL methodology for loans held by Capitol and submit to the Reserve Bank a written program for maintenance of an adequate ALLL for loans held by Capitol; (iv) take all necessary actions to ensure each of its subsidiary institutions comply with Federal Reserve regulations; (v) refrain from increasing any fees or charging new fees to any subsidiary institution without the prior written consent of the Reserve Bank; (vi) submit to the Reserve Bank a written plan to enhance the consolidated organization's risk management practices, a strategic plan to improve the consolidated organization's operating results and overall condition, and a cash flow projection; (vii) comply with laws and regulations regarding senior executive officer positions and severance payments; and (viii) provide quarterly reports to the Reserve Bank regarding these undertakings.

Many of Capitol's bank subsidiaries have entered into formal enforcement actions (as well as informal agreements) with their applicable regulatory agencies.  Those enforcement actions provide for certain restrictions and other guidelines and/or limitations to be followed by the banks.  The banks generally subject to such enforcement actions are noted as such in the regulatory capital summary appearing on page F-36 of this document.

The FDIC may issue Prompt Corrective Action Notifications ("PCAN") to banking subsidiaries falling below the "adequately-capitalized" regulatory-capital classification, and subsequently may issue Prompt Correction Action Directives ("PCAD").  PCADs may be issued when a bank, which has previously received a PCAN, has submitted two consecutive capital restoration plans which have been rejected by the FDIC.

Certain banking subsidiaries have received a PCAD, which are listed on page F-38 of this document.  These banks are striving to develop and implement capital restoration plans which may be acceptable to the FDIC.

The following table summarizes the amounts (in $1,000s) and related ratios of Capitol's consolidated regulatory capital position:

		December 31
		2012				2011
Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets:
Minimum required amount(1)	≥	$	66,520		≥	$	92,356
Actual amount		$	(144,341	)		$	(109,146	)
Ratio			(8.68	)%			(4.73	)%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets:
Minimum required amount(2)	≥	$	49,402		≥	$	68,615
Actual amount		$	(144,341	)		$	(109,146	)
Ratio			(11.69	)%			(6.36	)%
Combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk- weighted assets:
Minimum required amount(3)	≥	$	98,805		≥	$	137,231
Actual amount		$	(144,341	)		$	(109,146	)
Ratio			(11.69	)%			(6.36	)%

(1)	The minimum required ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets to be considered adequately-capitalized is 4%.
(2)	The minimum required ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets to be considered adequately-capitalized is 4%.
(3)	The minimum required ratio of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk-weighted assets to be considered adequately-capitalized is 8%.

Capitol's total risk-based capital ratios at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were materially and adversely impacted by the exclusion of approximately $167.3 million and $171.5 million, respectively, of previously-qualifying Tier 2 capital, inasmuch as Tier 2 capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital, primarily trust-preferred securities and a portion of the allowance for loan losses.  The Tier 1 capital deficit resulted mostly from operating losses.

The preceding summary indicates that Capitol, on a consolidated basis, was classified as less than "adequately-capitalized" at December 31, 2012 for regulatory purposes.  In addition, several of its bank subsidiaries had capital levels resulting in classification as "undercapitalized" or "significantly-undercapitalized" at that date.

Banks and bank holding companies which are less than "adequately-capitalized" are subject to increased regulatory oversight, intervention, requirements and limitations.  Regarding banks classified as "undercapitalized" or "significantly-undercapitalized," or otherwise noncompliant with formal enforcement actions and informal regulatory agreements, management continues to take action to improve such capital classifications and related compliance in the future, subject to the availability of capital and continued cooperation by regulatory agencies (see Note U).

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTE U—GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

As of December 31, 2012, there are several significant adverse aspects of Capitol's consolidated financial position and results of operations which include, but are not limited to, the following:

· The Corporation has filed for protection under Chapter 11;

· An equity deficiency approximating $144.1 million;

· Regulatory capital classification on a consolidated basis as less than "adequately-capitalized" and related negative amounts and ratios;

· Numerous banking subsidiaries with regulatory capital classification as "undercapitalized" or "significantly-undercapitalized";

· Certain banking subsidiaries which are generally subject to formal enforcement actions and informal regulatory agreements have received "prompt corrective action" notifications and/or directives from the FDIC, which require timely action by bank management and the respective boards of directors to resolve regulatory capital ratios which result in classification as less than "adequately-capitalized" (the basis of a PCAN) or to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC (the basis of a PCAD), and it is likely additional PCANs and/or PCADs may be issued in the future and/or the banking subsidiaries may be unable to satisfactorily resolve such notices and/or directives;

· Capitol has sold several of its banking subsidiaries during the past few years and has other divestiture transactions pending (see Note M).  The proceeds from those divestitures have been redeployed at certain remaining banking subsidiaries which have experienced a significant erosion of capital due to operating losses.  While such proceeds have been a significant source of funds for redeployment, the Corporation will need to raise significant other sources of new capital in the future;

· The Corporation and substantially all of its banking subsidiaries are operating under various regulatory enforcement actions which place a number of restrictions on them and impose other requirements limiting activities, requiring preservation of capital, improvement in regulatory capital measures, reduction of nonperforming assets and other things for which the entities have not achieved full compliance;

· Elevated levels of nonperforming loans and other nonperforming assets as a percentage of consolidated loans and total assets, respectively; and

· Losses from continuing operations, resulting primarily from elevated provisions for loan losses, costs associated with foreclosed properties and other real estate owned and, in 2010, an impairment charge to operations for the write-off of previously-recorded goodwill ($64.5 million, including $8.7 million from discontinued operations).

The foregoing considerations raise some level of doubt (potentially substantial doubt) as to the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern.  Such substantial doubt is discussed in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm set forth on page F-54.

CAPITOL BANCORP LIMITED (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)

NOTE U—GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS—Continued

Capitol has commenced several initiatives and other actions to mitigate these going concern considerations and to improve the Corporation's financial condition, equity, regulatory capital and regulatory compliance.  In early 2011, a partial exchange of trust-preferred securities was completed and the Corporation's stockholders approved an amendment to the articles of incorporation to increase its authorized common stock and authorize its board of directors to proceed with a rights offering and reverse stock split, in addition to a potential share-exchange regarding second-tier bank-development subsidiaries.

Improvement in Capitol's and its banking subsidiaries' capitalization, financial position, asset quality and results of operations requires multi-faceted efforts, which are currently being considered in the following areas, among others:

· Raising significant amounts of new equity capital pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization;

· Completion of a proposed financial restructuring plan;

· Completion of pending divestitures;

· Further reductions in nonperforming assets;

· Stabilization of provisions for loan losses and impairment losses; and

· Further reductions in operating expenses as a result of potential divestitures or mergers of bank subsidiaries and continued streamlining of corporate operations.

Capitol's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on the successful achievement of the items listed above.  Capitol's board of directors and management are fully engaged and committed to successful completion of those items, with a clear sense of urgency, subject to the availability of capital and continued cooperation by regulatory agencies.

NOTE V—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In early 2013, Capitol sold a portion of the shares it held in Capitol National Bank ("CNB") for approximately $1 million resulting in a net loss on sale of approximately $520,000 and in a reduction of Capitol's ownership percentage below 50%.  Since Capitol no longer holds a controlling financial interest in CNB, CNB will cease to be a consolidated subsidiary of Capitol in 2013 and Capitol's remaining investment in CNB will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  Capitol deployed the sale proceeds as a capital injection into Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque.

The sale of the remaining shares of CNB owned by Capitol is pending.
