                   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, 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.

Item 2                     MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Overview                   For the quarter ended and year-to-date ended 
                           September 30, 1997.

                           Earnings for the third quarter ended September 30,
                           1997 were $1,731 thousand, an increase of 23.3% when
                           compared with the third quarter 1996 earnings of
                           $1,404 thousand. Earnings per share for the third
                           quarter 1997 were $0.30 versus $0.24 for the third
                           quarter of 1996.

                           For the nine months ending September 30, 1997,
                           earnings were $4,770 thousand an increase of 22.7%
                           when compared with the same period last year earnings
                           of $3,886 thousand. Earnings per share were $0.83 for
                           the first nine months of 1997 compared with $0.68 for
                           the first nine months of 1996.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans                      On September 30, 1997 loans outstanding, net of
                           unearned discount, were $310.9 million an increase of
                           9.9% from the total on September 30, 1996. At
                           September 30, 1997 Commercial Real Estate loans
                           accounted for 45% and Residential Real Estate loans
                           accounted for 25.5% of total loans. Construction
                           loans increased to $7.2 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses

                           The allowance for loan losses was 1.43% of total
                           loans on September 30, 1997 compared with 1.45% on
                           September 30, 1996. Net charge-offs for the nine
                           month period ended September 30, 1997, were $270
                           thousand, compared with $854 thousand for the same
                           period in 1996. The allowance for loan losses is
                           based on management's overview of the quality of the
                           loan portfolio, previous loan loss experience and
                           current economic conditions.

                           As of September 30, 1997, loans on non-accrual status
                           totaled $1.4 million or .46% of loans; loans past due
                           90 days or more totaled $457 thousand; restructured

                           million, which is 2.4% above total deposits on
                           September 30, 1996. Borrowed funds totaled $47.1
                           million compared to $34.8 million last year. The

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

                           For the three month period ended September 30, 1997
                           net interest income totaled $6.4 million, an increase
                           of 9.8% from the comparable period in 1996.

                           For the nine month period ended September 30, 1997
                           net interest income totaled $18.8 million, an
                           increase of 10.6% from the comparable period in 1996.


Provision for Loan Losses

                           Loan loss provision for the nine months ended
                           September 30, 1997 was $525 thousand compared with

                           million for the third quarter of 1996. Income from
                           the gain on sales of loans decreased because of a
                           decrease in mortgage loan originations. Brokerage
                           commissions increased because of increased activity
                           in that line of business. The lockbox fee increase
                           was due to an increase in lockbox related volume.

                           During the third quarter 1997, operating expenses,
                           exclusive of OREO expenses, increased by 8.0% from
                           the same quarter last year. Expenses associated with
                           OREO increased by $8 thousand for the same period.


                           For the nine month period ended September 30, 1997
                           other operating income increased 0.8% while operating
                           expenses, exclusive of OREO expenses, increased 4.0%
                           from the same period in 1996.
