Business Wire, July 17, 2007

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Cambridge Bancorp (OTCBB: CATC) today reported unaudited net income of $2,334,000 for the second quarter of 2007, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to $2,084,000, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2006. The quarter-over-quarter earnings increase of $250,000 (12.0%) was achieved by continued growth in non-interest income and prudent management of non-interest expenses.

"We are pleased to report sustained earnings growth for the quarter, with a notable increase in non-interest income of $323,000 (8.3%) over the same quarter in 2006" notes Joseph V. Roller II, president and CEO. "New initiatives in Wealth Management, combined with relatively strong equity markets, have produced positive results with fees in the most recent quarter increasing $252,000 (9.4%) compared to last year's second quarter. In addition, fees generated from deposit accounts and from the Bank's merchant card services business have yielded solid results."

Since June 2006 loan outstandings have increased almost $40 million (11.3%). Half of the growth originated in the commercial real estate sector with the remainder coming from a combination of residential mortgages and home equity loans. Loan quality remained strong and the Allowance for Loan Losses was $6,152,000 or 1.62% of total loan outstandings at June 30, 2007. At December 31, 2006, the Allowance for Loan Losses was $6,065,000 or 1.70% of total loan outstandings.
