                              Century Bancorp Inc.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

BASIS OF          In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited      
PRESENTATION      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") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Century Bank and  
                  Trust Company (the "Bank"). The results of operations for the 
                  interim period ended June 30, 1998, 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.                      
                  
                  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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

                  In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
                  Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
                  reporting and displaying comprehensive income, which is
                  defined as all changes to equity except investments by and
                  distributions to shareholders. Net income is a component of
                  comprehensive income, with all other components referred to in
                  the aggregate as other comprehensive income. The Bank has
                  adopted SFAS No. 130 effective for January 1, 1998.
                           
                  Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
                  about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
                  which establishes standards for reporting information about
                  operating segments. An operating segment is defined as a
                  component of a business for which separate financial
                  information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
                  chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
                  resources and evaluate performance. This statement requires a
                  company to disclose certain income statement and balance sheet
                  information by operating




                                     7 of 16

                  segment, as well as provide a reconciliation of operating
                  segment information to the company's consolidated balances.
                  The Company has determined that the adoption of this statement
                  did not have a significant impact on its consolidated
                  financial statements.

                  In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers'
                  Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
                  Benefits--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and
                  106." This Statement revises employers' disclosures about
                  pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not
                  change the measurement or recognition of those plans. It
                  standardizes the disclosure requirements for pensions and
                  other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable,
                  requires additional information on changes in the benefit
                  obligations and fair values of plan assets that will
                  facilitate financial analysis, and eliminates certain
                  disclosures that are no longer as useful as they were when
                  FASB Statements No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions,"
                  No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and
                  Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
                  Termination Benefits," and No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
                  Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," were issued. The
                  Statement suggests combined formats for presentation of
                  pension and other postretirement benefit disclosures. This
                  statement is effective for 1998 annual financial statements.

                  In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
                  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which amends
                  FASB Statements No. 52, 80, 105, and 107, as well as,
                  nullifies or modifies the consensuses reached in a number of
                  issues addressed by the Emerging Issues Task Force. This
                  statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
                  derivative instruments, including certain derivative
                  instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively
                  referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It
                  requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
                  assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position
                  and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain
                  conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
                  designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the
                  fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an
                  unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to
                  variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c ) a
                  hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in
                  a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an
                  available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated
                  forecasted transaction.

                  Under this Statement, an entity that elects to apply hedge
                  accounting is required to establish at the inception of the
                  hedge the method it will use for assessing the effectiveness
                  of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for
                  determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods
                  must be consistent with the entity's approach to managing
                  risk.

                  The Statement is effective for the year 2000 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.

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




                                     9 of 16


<PAGE>   10


                  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




                                    11 of 16

                  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.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

                  On June 11, 1998 The Company acquired Haymarket Co-operative
                  Bank ("Haymarket"), headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and
                  merged Haymarket into the Bank. The purchase price was $21.1
                  million and was accounted for using the purchase method of
                  accounting. The results of operations include the effect of
                  the purchase for the 19 day period beginning June 12, 1998. In
                  connection with the acquisition, the fair value of the assets
                  acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows.

                  In May 1998, the Company, through Century Bancorp Capital
                  Trust, issued 2,875,000 shares of Cumulative Trust Preferred
                  Securities with a liquidation value of $10 per share. These
                  securities will pay dividends at an annualized rate of 8.30%.
                  The Company is using the proceeds primarily for general

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


OVERVIEW          For the quarter ended and year-to-date ended June 30, 1998.

                  Earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $2.0
                  million, an increase of 19.3% when compared with the second
                  quarter 1997 earnings of $1.7 million. Diluted earnings per
                  share for the second quarter 1998 were $0.34 versus $0.29 for
                  the second quarter of 1997.

                  For the six months ending June 30, 1998, earnings were $3,787
                  thousand an increase of 24.6% when compared with the same
                  period last year earnings of $3,039 thousand. Diluted earnings
                  per share were $.65 for the first six months of 1997 compared
                  with $.52 for the first six months of 1997.

                  The Company has completed a comprehensive review of its
                  computer systems to identify the systems that could be
                  affected by the "Year 2000" issue and has developed an
                  implementation plan to resolve the issue. The implementation
                  plan includes obtaining representations from software vendors
                  for compliance with the Year 2000 processing and developing a
                  strategy to test Year 2000 compliance.

                  The Company's previously planned conversion to a new core
                  processing system is scheduled to be completed during the
                  third quarter of 1998. The vendor has represented that its
                  system is Year 2000 compliant and testing will begin after the
                  conversion is complete. Testing of other critical systems will
                  begin during the fourth quarter of 1998. The cost associated
                  with the "Year 2000" issue is not expected to have a material
                  impact on the Financial Statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS             On June 30, 1998 total loans outstanding, net of unearned
                  discount, were $387.8 million, an increase of 24.5% from the
                  total on December 31, 1997. At June 30, 1998 commercial real
                  estate loans accounted for 46.7% and residential real estate
                  loans and real estate loans held-for-sale accounted for 28.5%
                  of total loans. Construction loans increased to $19.6 million
                  at June 30, 1998 from $10.6 million at the end of the previous
                  quarter. Total loans increased primarily as a result of the
                  acquisition of Haymarket.

                  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                  Results of Operation (con't.)

                  ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

                  The allowance for loan losses was 1.53% of total loans on June
                  30, 1998 compared with 1.41% on December 31, 1997. Net
                  recoveries for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, were
                  $29 thousand, compared with net charge-offs of $131 thousand
                  for the same period in 1997. 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 June 30, 1998, loans on non-accrual status totaled $1.8
                  million or .46% of loans; loans past due 90 days or more
                  totaled $168 thousand; restructured performing loans totaled
                  $1.0 million.

SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY

                  The securities held-to-maturity portfolio totaled $121.3
                  million on June 30, 1998, an increase of 11.1% from the total
                  on December 31, 1997. The portfolio is concentrated in United
                  States Treasury and Agency securities and had a weighted
                  average maturity of 3.8 years.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

                  The securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $185.5
                  million at June 30, 1998, an increase of 107.9 % from December
                  31, 1997. The portfolio is concentrated in United States
                  Treasury and Agency securities and had a weighted average
                  maturity of 2.9 years. Total securities available-for-sale
                  increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of
                  Haymarket.

OTHER ASSETS

                  On June 30 1998 other real estate owned totaled $130 thousand
                  compared to $0 at December 31, 1997.


DEPOSITS AND BORROWED FUNDS

                  On June 30, 1998 deposits totaled $621.1 million, representing
                  a 20.5% increase in total deposits from December 31, 1997.
                  Borrowed funds totaled $39.0 million compared to $46.3 million
                  at December 31, 1997. The majority of the decrease was a
                  decrease in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank,
                  partially offset by an increase in securities sold under
                  agreements to repurchase. Total deposits increased primarily
                  as a result of the acquisition of Haymarket.

                  comparable period in 1997. For the six month period ended June

                  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                  Results of Operation (con't.)


                  totaled $13.9 million, an increase of 12.2% from the
                  comparable period in 1997. Interest income was affected
                  positively by improvements in the interest earned in most
                  categories of earning assets. This, in addition to a higher
                  level of non-interest bearing transaction accounts, on
                  average, and a continued low level of market deposit rates,
                  compared to historical levels, has combined to improve the
                  performance of the Company's balance sheet. The net yield on
                  average earning assets on a fully taxable equivalent basis
                  decreased to 4.82% in the first half of 1998 from 4.98% during
                  the same period in 1997.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

                  Loan loss provision for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was
                  $350 thousand compared with $390 thousand for the same period
                  in 1997. Loan loss provision decreased because of continued
                  improvement in the Company's loan portfolio. The lower
                  provision reflects the Company's recent charge-off and
                  recovery experience as well as the overall continued
                  improvement in the measured quality of the loan portfolio.
                  Despite the decrease in provision for loan losses and an
                  increase in total loans outstanding from June 30, 1997 to June
                  30, 1998, the Company's loan loss allowance as a percentage of
                  total loans outstanding has increased from 1.42% to 1.53%,
                  respectively.

NON-INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

                  Other operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was
                  $1.4 million, compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter
                  of 1997. Service charges on deposit accounts, gains on sales
                  of loans, other income, and brokerage commissions showed
                  modest increases. Lockbox fees increased 14.0% due to an
                  increase in lockbox volume relating to new customers.

                  During the second quarter 1998, operating expenses increased
                  by $452 thousand or 9.7% from the same quarter last year.
                  Approximately half of the increase was in salaries and
                  employee benefits with the remaining half in all other
                  expenses. The Company has incurred expenses relating to
                  increased professional fees for certain strategic initiatives.

INCOME TAXES

                  For the second quarter of 1998, the Company's income taxes
                  totaled $1,133 thousand on pretax income of $3,118 thousand
                  for an effective tax rate of 36.3%. For last year's
                  corresponding quarter, the Company's income taxes totaled
                  $1,133 thousand on pretax income of $2,797 thousand for an
                  effective rate of 40.5%. The Company has begun to realize
                  savings in this area as the result of strategic tax savings
                  initiatives.
