                   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 June
                         30, 1997, 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.

                         As of January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Financial
                         Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial
                         Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for
                         Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
                         Extinguishment of Liabilities." This statement provides
                         accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
                         servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of
                         liabilities based on consistent application of a
                         financial-components approach that focuses on control.
                         It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are
                         sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. Under
                         the financial-components approach, after a transfer of
                         financial assets, an entity recognizes all financial
                         and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has
                         incurred and derecognizes financial assets it no longer
                         controls and liabilities that have been extinguished.
                         The financial-components approach focuses on assets
                         and liabilities that exist after the transfer. Many of
                         these assets and liabilities are components of
                         financial assets that existed prior to the transfer. If
                         a transfer does not meet the criteria for a sale, the
                         transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing with
                         pledge of collateral. SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the
                         effective Date of Certain Provisions of SFAS No. 125,"
                         requires the deferral of implementation as it relates
                         to repurchase agreements, dollar-rolls, securities
                         lending and similar transactions until after December
                         31, 1997. Earlier or retroactive applications of this
                         statement is not permitted. The Company has determined
                         that the adoption of this statement will not have a
                         material impact on its consolidated financial
                         statements.


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 (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, a
                         state chartered financial institution, 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 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 losses on
                         loans. Management believes that the allowance for
                         losses on loans 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, future additions to the
                         allowance for loans may be necessary based on changes
                         in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory
                         agencies periodically review the Company's allowance
                         for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the
                         Company to recognize additions to the allowance for
                         loans based on their judgements about information
                         available to them at the time of their examination.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
- ---------------------

                         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. The
                         Company has no securities held for trading.

                         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.

                         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.

                         The Bank accounts 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. This method applies to 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. 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. The Bank measures the
                         impairment of troubled debt restructurings using the
                         pre-modification rate of interest.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------

                         The allowance for 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 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 loan losses
                         is adequate. In addition, various regulatory agencies,
                         as part of their examination process, periodically
                         review the Company's allowance for 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. Real estate substantively repossessed
                         includes 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 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.

                         June 30, 1996. During the second quarter $60 thousand
                         was added to OREO and $136 thousand of OREO was sold.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds
- ---------------------------

                         On June 30, 1997 deposits totaled $456.8 million, which
                         is 1.6% above total deposits on June 30, 1996. Borrowed
                         funds totaled $56.9 million compared to $30.8 million
                         last year. The majority of the increase was an increase
                         in borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $16.0
                         million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

                         For the three month period ended June 30, 1997 net
                         interest income totaled $6.3 million, an increase of
                         11.9% from the comparable period in 1996.

                         For the six month period ended June 30, 1997 net
                         interest income totaled $12.4 million, an increase of
                         11.1% from the comparable period in 1996.


Provision for Loan Losses
- -------------------------

                         Loan loss provision for the six months ended June 30,
                         1997 was $390 thousand compared with $510 thousand for
                         the same period in 1996.

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

                         1997 was $1.3 million, compared to the same amount for
                         the second quarter of 1996. Income from the gain on
                         sales of loans decreased because of a decrease in
                         mortgage loan originations. Brokerage commissions
                         decreased because of decreased activity in that line of
                         business. The lockbox fee increase was due to an
                         increase in lockbox related volume.

                         During the second quarter 1997, operating expenses,
                         exclusive of OREO expenses, increased by 4.0% from the
                         same quarter last year. Expenses associated with OREO
                         decreased by $6 thousand for the same period.


                         For the six month period ended June 30, 1997 other
                         operating income decreased 6.2% while operating
                         expenses, exclusive of OREO expenses, increased 2.1%
                         from the same period in 1996.
