                    Century Bancorp Inc.
        Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Basis of Presentation

	In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
	consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, 
	consisting  of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to
	present a fair statement of the results for the interim	period
	presented of Century Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"). The	results of
	operations for the interim period ended September 30, 1996, are not
	necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. It is
	suggested that these statements be read in conjunction with the
	consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in
	the Company's Annual Report.

 Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
	Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
	("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an
	amendment of FASB Statement No. 65".  SFAS No. 122 requires the
	Company to recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage
	loans for others however those servicing rights are acquired.  The 
	current sales volume of loans serviced for others is negligible and,
	therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 122 has not had, and is not
	expected to have, a material impact on the Company's financial 
	statements.
           
	As of January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
	for Stock-Based Compensation".  SFAS No. 123 establishes financial 
	accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation
	plans. SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, a fair value
	based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. SFAS
	No. 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost
	for those plans using the intrinsic value based method prescribed
	by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25.  For those
	entities electing to use the intrinsic value based method, SFAS No.
	123 requires pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per
	share computed as if the fair value based method had been applied.
	The Company continues to account for stock-based compensation costs
	under APB Opinion No. 25, and will provide the additional required
	disclosures relating to 1995 and 1996 stock options in its 1996
	Annual Report.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
	Century Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
	subsidiary, Century Bank and Trust Company.  In November 1992, 
	the Company merged its former subsidiaries, Century North Shore Bank
	and Trust Company and Century Bank/Suffolk into Century Bank and 
	Trust Company (the "Bank").  The Company provides a full range of 
	banking services to individual, business and municipal customers in
	Massachusetts.  As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to
	the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve Board.  The 
	Bank is subject to supervision and regulation by applicable state 
	and federal banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, 
	the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller") 
	and the Federal Deposit

				7 OF 15



 Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").  The Bank is also subject to 
	various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, 
	including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, 
	restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted 
	and the interest that may be charged thereon, and limitations on the
	types of investments that may be made and the types of services that
	may be offered.  Various consumer laws and regulations also affect 
	the operations of the Bank.  In addition to the impact of regulation
	commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the 
	Federal Reserve Board as it attempts to control the money supply and
	credit availability in order to influence the economy.  All aspects
	of the Company's business are highly competitive.  The Company faces
	aggressive competition from other lending institutions and from 
	numerous other providers of financial services.
 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with 
	generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices 
	within the banking industry.  In preparing the financial statements,
	management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
	the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
	balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual 
	results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Material estimates that are susceptible to change in the near-term
	relate to the allowance for possible losses on loans and other real
	estate owned ("OREO") .  Management believes that the allowance for
	possible losses on loans and OREO is adequate based on independent
	appraisals and review of other factors associated with the assets.
	While management uses available information to recognize losses on 
	loans and OREO, future additions to the allowance for loans and OREO
	may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  In 
	addition, regulatory agencies periodically review the Company's 
	allowance for possible losses on loans and OREO.  Such agencies may
	require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for 
	loans and OREO based on their judgements about information available
	to them at the time of their examination.


Investment Securities

 Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
	Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
	("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and 
	Equity Securities."  Under SFAS No. 115, debt securities that the 
	Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
	classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost; debt
	and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the 
	purpose of selling are classified as trading and reported at fair 
	value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; and 
	debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity
	or trading are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair
	value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and 
	reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of 
	estimated related income taxes.  SFAS No.

				8 of 15


 115 does not apply to unsecuritized loans.  However, after mortgage
	loans are converted to mortgage-backed securities, they are subject
	to its provisions.  Upon adoption, the Company classified its 
	investment securities into two categories: held-to-maturity and 
	available-for-sale; the Company has no securities held for trading.
	As a result of adoption, stockholders' equity was decreased by 
	approximately $895,000, representing the net unrealized loss on 
	securities available-for-sale less applicable income taxes at 
	December 31, 1994.  In 1993 and in prior periods, investment 
	securities intended to be held-to-maturity were carried at amortized
	cost, marketable equity securities were carried at the lower of 
	aggregate cost or market value, with unrealized losses reported as 
	a separate component of stockholders' equity, and investment 
	securities held for sale were carried at the lower of cost or market
	value with unrealized losses recognized in current year earnings.

 Premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized or 
	accreted into income by use of the level-yield method.  If a decline
	in fair value below the amortized cost basis of an investment is 
	judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment
	is written down to fair value.  The amount of the writedown is 
	included as a charge to earnings.  Gains and losses on the sale of 
	investment securities are recognized at the time of sale on a 
	specific identification basis.


Loans

 Interest on loans is recognized based on the daily principal amount
	outstanding.  Accrual of interest is discontinued when loans become
	90 days delinquent unless the collateral is sufficient to cover both
	principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection.
	Loans, including impaired loans, on which the accrual of interest 
	has been discontinued are designated non-accrual loans.  When a loan
	is placed on non-accrual, all income which has been accrued but 
	remains unpaid is reversed against current period income and all 
	amortization of deferred loan fees is discontinued.  Non-accrual 
	loans may be returned to an accrual status when principal and 
	interest payments are not delinquent and the risk characteristics 
	of the loan have improved to the extent that there no longer exists
	a concern as to the collectibility of principal and income.  Income
	received on non-accrual loans is either recorded in income or 
	applied to the principal balance of the loan depending on 
	management's evaluation as to the collectibility of principal.

 Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or 
	market value.  Gain or loss on sales of loans is recognized at the 
	time of sale when the sales proceeds exceed or are less than the 
	Bank's investment in the loans.  Additionally, gains and losses are
	recognized when the average interest rate on the loans sold, 
	adjusted for normal servicing fee, differs from the agreed yield to
	the buyer.  The resulting excess service fee receivables, if any, 
	are amortized using the interest method over the estimated life of 
	the loans, adjusted for estimated prepayments.

 Discounts and premiums on loans purchased from failed financial 
	institutions that represent market yield adjustments are accreted 
	or amortized to interest income over the estimated lives of the 
	loans using the level-yield method.

				9 of 15
                                

 Loan origination fees and related direct incremental loan 
	origination costs are offset and the resulting net amount is 
	deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans using 
	the level-yield method.

 In May, 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
	for Impairment of a Loan," which was amended in October, 1994 by 
	SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - 
	Income Recognition and Disclosures."  The statements generally 
	require all creditors to account for impaired loans, except those 
	loans that are accounted for at fair value or at lower of cost or 
	fair value, at the present value of the expected future cash flows 
	discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.  These statements
	apply to all creditors and all loans, uncollateralized as well as 
	collateralized, except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous 
	loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment,  loans that 
	are measured at fair value and leases and debt securities as defined
	in SFAS No. 115.  Management considers the payment status, net worth
	and earnings potential of the borrower, and the value and cash flow
	of the collateral as factors to determine if a loan will be paid in
	accordance with its contractual terms.  Management does not set any
	minimum delay of payments as a factor in reviewing for impaired 
	classification.  Impaired loans are charged-off when management 
	believes that the collectibility of the loan's principal is remote.  
	In addition, criteria for classification of a loan as in-substance 
	foreclosure has been modified so that such classification need be 
	made only when a lender is in possession of the collateral.  These 
	statements also require impairment of troubled debt restructurings 
	to be measured using the pre-modification rate of interest.  The 
	Bank adopted these statements on January 1, 1995.  Management has 
	determined that the implementation of these statements was not 
	material to the Bank's consolidated financial statements.


Allowance For Possible Loan Losses  

 The allowance for possible loan losses is based on management's 
	evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio and is used to 
	absorb losses resulting from loans which ultimately prove 
	uncollectible. In determining the level of the allowance, periodic 
	evaluations are made of the loan portfolio which take into account 
	such factors as the character of the loans, loan status, financial 
	posture of the borrowers, value of collateral securing the loans and
	other relevant information sufficient to reach an informed
	judgement. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to 
	income and reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.

 While management uses available information in establishing the 
	allowance for possible loan losses, future adjustments to the 
	allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ 
	substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.
	Loans are charged off in whole or in part when, in management's 
	opinion, collectibility is not probable.  Management believes that 
	the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate.  In addition, 
	various regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, 
	periodically review the Company's allowance for possible loan 
	losses.  Such agencies may require the Company to recognize 
	additions to the allowance based on their judgements about 
	information available to them at the time of their examination.

Other Real Estate Owned

	Other real estate owned ("OREO") includes real estate acquired by 
	foreclosure and real estate substantively repossessed.  Real estate
	acquired by foreclosure is comprised of properties acquired through
	foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of 
	foreclosure.  SFAS No. 114 narrowed the definition of real estate 
	substantively repossessed to include only those loans for which the
	Company has taken possession of the collateral, but has not 
	completed legal foreclosure proceedings.  Both in-substance 
	foreclosures and real estate formally acquired in settlement of 
	loans are recorded at the lower of the carrying value of the loan 
	or the fair value of the property constructively or actually 
	received.  Loan losses from the acquisition of such properties are 
	charged against the allowance for possible loan losses.  After 
	foreclosure, if the fair value of an asset minus its estimated cost
	to sell is less than the carrying value of the asset, such amount is 
	recognized as a valuation allowance.  If the fair value of an asset
	less its estimated cost to sell subsequently increases so that the 
	resulting amount is more than the asset's current carrying value, 
	the valuation allowance is reversed by the amount of the increase.
	Increases or decreases in the valuation allowance are charged or 
	credited to income.  Gains upon disposition of OREO are reflected 
	in the statement of income as realized.  Realized losses are charged
	to the valuation allowance.


Bank Premises And Equipment

 Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated 
	depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is computed using the 
	straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets 
	or the terms of leases, if shorter.

 It is general practice to charge the cost of maintenance and repairs
	to operations when incurred; major expenditures for improvements are
	capitalized and depreciated.


Income Taxes

 The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for 
	income taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax 
	assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax 
	consequences attributable to differences between the financial 
	statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and 
	their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
	measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
	in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be 
	recovered or settled.  Under this method, the effect on deferred 
	tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
	income in the period that includes the enactment date.

and Results of Operation (con't.)



Income Taxes
           
	For the third quarter of 1996, the Company's income taxes totaled
	$899 thousand on pretax income of $2,303 thousand for an effective 
	tax rate of 39.0%. For last year's corresponding quarter, the 
	Company's income taxes totalled $575 thousand on pretax income of
	$1,867 thousand for an effective rate of 30.8%. 

	For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 income taxes
	totaled $2,502 thousand on pretax income of $6,388 thousand for an
	effective tax rate of 39.2%.  For last years corresponding period,
	income taxes totaled $1,278 thousand on pretax income of $4,694
	thousand for an effective tax rate of 27.2%.

	The major contribution to the increase in the effective tax rate for
	the third quarter 1996 compared with the third quarter 1995 was a
	reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The 
	reduction of this allowance for the third quarter of 1996 was $75 
	thousand compared to a reduction of $255 thousand for the third 
	quarter of 1995.
