                       MICHIGAN COMMUNITY BANCORP LIMITED
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

               The accounting and reporting policies of Michigan Community
               Bancorp Limited (the "Company") conform to generally accepted
               accounting principles. Management is required to make estimates
               and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
               consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
               Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

               Nature of Operations - Michigan Community Bancorp Limited was
               incorporated on January 28, 1998 as a Bank holding Company to
               establish and operate two new banks, Lakeside Community Bank
               (LCB) in Sterling Heights, Michigan and North Oakland Community
               Bank (NOCB) in Rochester Hills, Michigan, in December 1998, the
               Company completed an initial public offering of 665,000 shares of
               its common stock raising $9.2 million, net of offering costs. LCB
               and NOCB commended operations in January 1999. 

               PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - Premises and equipment are stated at
               cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method and
               charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the
               properties.

               OFFERING COSTS - Costs related to the offering of common stock
               have been netted against the offering proceeds from the sale of
               the Company's stock.

               EARNINGS PER SHARE - Basic earnings per share is based on the
               weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

               STOCK OPTIONS - The Company has two stock option plans . Options
               granted to directors and key employees under both plans are
               accounted for using the intrinsic value method, under which
               compensation expense is recorded at the amount by which the
               market price of the underlying stock at grant date exceeds the
               exercise price of an option. Under the Company's plans, the
               exercise price on all options granted equals or exceeds the fair
               value of the stock at the grant date. Accordingly, no
               compensation cost is recorded as a result of stock option awards
               under the plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION

Forward - looking statements

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve
substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward - looking statements can be
identified by the use of the words "anticipate" , "believe", "estimate",
"expect", "plan", and similar expressions. They are not guarantees of future
performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likeliness and degree of
occurrence. Various factors , including regional and national economic
conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and
other risks of lending and investment activities and competitive and regulatory
factors could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the
Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from those
anticipated or projected.

(A)  PLAN OF OPERATION

ORGANIZATION

The Company was incorporated in 1998 as a bank holding company. The Company
operates two wholly owned subsidiary banks, Lakeside Community Bank (LCB) and
North Oakland Community Bank (NOCB) (collectively the "Banks"). LCB and NOCB are
organized as Michigan banking corporations with depository accounts insured by
the Bank Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. LCB and
NOCB provide a range of commercial and consumer banking services primarily in
the northern communities of Macomb and Oakland Counties.

Market Area

LCB is located on Schoenherr Road in a rapidly growing area of Macomb County,
NOCB is located on Rochester Road in a rapidly growing area of Oakland County.
The communities that comprise the Banks' Primary service area include Sterling
Heights, Clinton Township, Utica, Mt. Clemens, Macomb Township, Washington
Township, Ray Township, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Troy, Auburn Hills, Pontiac,
Oakland Township, Avon Township, Orion Township, and Lake Orion Village.
Management believes that these communities have an expanding and diverse
economic base, which includes a wide range of small to medium sized businesses
engaged in manufacturing, construction, and retail.
 
Bank Lines of Business

The Banks' core business activities include attracting deposits from the general
public and using such deposits along with equity capital to originate commercial
loans. The Banks also offer installment and home equity loans to consumers. The
Banks' results of operations are dependent primarily upon net interest income,
which is the difference between interest income from interest earning assets and
interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Results of operation will also
be positively influenced by non-interest income such as fees related to loan
origination and service charges associated with customer deposit accounts which
includes a full array of demand deposit accounts, money market demand accounts,
NOW accounts, savings accounts, individual retirement accounts, certificates of
deposit, and ATM cards.

CASH REQUIREMENTS

MCB's plan of operation for 1999 does not anticipate the need to raise
additional capital funds. Current cash projections indicate adequate cash
balances and MCB does not anticipate substantial additional purchases of
fixtures, equipment or leasehold improvements in 1999.

Number of Employees

At March 31, 1999 the Company employed 21 people on a full time basis, and one
person on a part time basis. Over the next twelve months, MCB does not expect
any significant changes in staffing levels.

(B) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The Quarter ended March 31, 1999 is the first full quarter of operation for the
company. MCB was incorporated on January 28, 1998 and completed its initial
public offering in December 1, 1998. The proceeds from the public offering were
used to fund the operation and start up of two subsidiary banks (LCB and NOCB).
The subsidiary banks were capitalized and received regulatory approval to
commence operations in January 1999. Total assets at March 31, 1999 were $17. 8
million as compared to $8.9 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in total
assets was funded by a $9.6 million dollar increase in deposits. Total net loss,
year to date, at March 31, 1999 was $727 thousand, of which a significant
portion was attributable to the establishment of a reserve for future possible
loan losses. The build up of loan loss reserves has been made to provide for
funded loans at March 31, 1999 of $3,792,000 and committed, approved but
unfunded loans at March 31, 1999 totaling $15.7 million. There has been no loan
charge-offs or recoveries to date.

The categories of loans outstanding at March 31, 1999, in dollars and as a
percentage of loans outstanding were as follows:

                                                --------------------      ----------------------

                          Total Loans                          3,792                       100.0%
                                                ====================      =======================
</TABLE>



At March 31, 1999 there were no non-accrual loans, no loans greater than 30 days
past due, and no watch loans. As a result of substantial start up expenditures
incurred by the Company and the Banks and the time the Banks will take to
develop their deposit bases and loan portfolios, the Company's management
expects that the Banks and thus the Company, will operate at a loss during the
start up period of the Banks. Accordingly, the Company's management expects that
neither the Company or the Banks will be profitable during the first two years
of operations.
