NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles for interim financial information and with the rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do 
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally 
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the 
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) 
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating 
results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that maybe expected for the year ended 
December 31, 1997.  The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived 
from audited financial statements. These financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
thereto included in the Company's annual report and 10-K as of December 31, 
1996.

NOTE 2.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

    The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, 
Earnings Per Share, which is effective for financial statements issued after 
December 15, 1997.  Early adoption of the new standard is not permitted.  The 
new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share and 
requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together with 
disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed.  The pro-forma effect 
of adopting the new standard would be basic earnings per share of $.31 and 
$.37, and diluted earnings per share of $.30 and $.36 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 
1996 the pro-forma effect of adopting the new standard would be basic 
earnings per share of $.60 and $.72 and diluted earnings per share of $.58 
and $.70.

    In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive 
Income ("SFAS 130").  SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and 
display of comprehensive income and its components.  There will be no effect 
on the Company's recognition or measurement of income or operations, but will 
require changes in the disclosure and reporting of the change in equity 
during a period from nonowner sources, such as unrealized gains (losses) on 
investment securities, Adoption of SFAS 130 is required for the fiscal year 
beginning January 1, 1998.

    In June 1997, the FASB also issued Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related 
Information ("SFAS 131").  SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that 
public business enterprises report selected information about operating 
segments in quarterly and annual financial reports to shareholders.  It also 
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, 
geographic areas and major customers.  The Company is currently evaluating 
its operations to determine the applicability of the disclosure requirements 
to its financial statements.  Adoption of SFAS 131 is required for the fiscal 
year beginning January 1, 1998.

Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997.  This 
discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited 
condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in 
this report.

OVERVIEW

    Beverly Bancorporation, Inc. (the "Company") provides a full range of 
banking services, including personal and corporate trust services.  The 
strategy of the company is to continue to increase its core banking business 
and to further develop its mortgage, trust, securities sales and insurance 
activities in order to provide an array of household financial services 
encompassing banking and other investment products.

    The Company was incorporated in Delaware on June 13, 1996, as a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Beverly Bancorporation, Inc., an Illinois 
Corporation ("Beverly Illinois").  Beverly Illinois was organized in 1969 and 
owned all of the outstanding capital stock of the subsidiary banks and 
Beverly Trust Company. Pursuant to a reincorporation, on August 16, 1996, 
Beverly Illinois was merged with and into the Company and the Company is the 
surviving corporation.

    Subsequent to the incorporation, the Company sold 1,150,000 shares of 
common stock at $15.00 per share in a public offering in the third quarter of 
1996.  In connection with the offering, the Company's common stock is listed 
on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol BEVB.  A portion of the 
proceeds of the offering was used to pay off the Company's $9 million debt.  
In September 1996, the Company completed the merger of its four subsidiary 
banks into one bank subsidiary and renamed the bank "Beverly National Bank".

    The net income of the Company was $1.7 million for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997, compared with net income of $1.6 million for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996.  Earnings per share for the second quarter of 1997 was 
$.30.  The net income of the Company was $3.3 million for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997, compared with net income of $3.0 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Earnings per share for the six months ended June 
30, 1997 was $.58, compared to $.70 per share in the first six months of 
1996.  The reduction in earnings per share is attributed to the issuance of 
1,150,000 additional shares in the Company's initial public offering in 
August of 1996.  The following table sets forth certain selected additional 
financial data of the company.

</TABLE>

    For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's net interest 
income increased $775,000 or 13.1% to $6.7 million on a taxable equivalent 
basis from $5.9 million in the second quarter of 1996..  Interest on earning 
assets increased $886,000 or 8.2% to $11.7 million in the second quarter of 
1997 from $10.8 million in the same period in 1996 due to the investment of 
the deposit and capital growth of the Company, and an increase in loans 
outstanding (which provide higher yields than alternative investments).  The 
Company's interest expense increased $111,000 or 2.3% to $5.0 million in the 
second quarter of 1997 from $4.9 million from the same period in 1996 due to 
growth in deposits, while the interest expense on the note payable was 
eliminated with the payoff of the note .

    For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's net interest income 
increased $1.6 million or 13.4% to $13.2 million on a taxable equivalent 
basis from $11.6 million in the same period of 1996.  Interest on earning 
assets increased $1.7 million or 8.0% to $23.0 million in the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 from $21.3 million in the same period in 1996, primarily 
due to growth in loans.  Total interest expense increased $151,000 or 1.6% to 
$9.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $9.6 million in the 
same period in 1996, due to growth in deposits which was partially offset by 
the elimination of the note payable.

LOAN LOSS PROVISION

    The Company has not booked a provision for loan losses in 1997, compared 
to $34,000 in the second quarter of 1996 and $75,000 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  The loan loss provisions have remained relatively low due to 
the Company's asset quality, its significant loan loss recoveries, and its 
relatively high concentration of generally low-risk residential real estate 
loans.

OTHER INCOME

    Other income increased $441,000 to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 
1997, compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 1996, primarily due 
to a gain of $283,000 on the sale of servicing rights on $24.5 million of 
mortgages and a gain of $140,000 on the sale of other real estate.  Service 
charges on deposit accounts declined $107,000 from the second quarter of 
1996.  Other income increased $114,000 in the second quarter to $420,000 from 
$306,000 in the second quarter of 1996 primarily due to the initiation of ATM 
surcharges in late 1996.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1997, other income increased $663,000 to 
$4.8 million from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, 
primarily due to gains on the sales of service rights, other real estate and 
investment securities.  Fiduciary income also increased $88,000 to $1.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

OPERATING EXPENSE

    Operating expenses increased $996,000 or 18.4% to $6.4 million for the 
three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $5.4 million in the three 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Salaries and Benefits increased $263,000 or 
10.0% to $2.9 million.  Occupancy expense increased $76,000 due to the 
remodeling of several of the Company's branches.  Other expenses increased 
$444,000 due to increases in audit expense, correspondent services, telephone 
expense and operational charge-offs.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1997, operating expenses increased 
$1.9 million or 17.1% to $12.7 million, compared to $10.9 million in the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Salaries and Benefits increased $693,000 which 
included certain severance arrangements totaling $280,000.  Occupancy expense 
increased $120,000 due to the remodeling of certain of the facilities, and 
the opening of the Company's Will-Cook branch in February of 1996.  Computer 
systems and service increased $104,000 due to additional services obtained 
from the Company's outside service provider.  Outside services increased 
$262,000 due to the outsourcing of additional operational functions in the 
later portion of 1996 and the cost of additional in-house MIS support.  Other 
expense increased $597,000 due to increases in audit, telephone, corespondent 
service, and operational losses.

    The Company's loan portfolio has increased $28.5 million or 7.7% since 
December 31, 1996.  Commercial Real Estate Loans increased $14.6 million in 
1997 due to the Company's emphasis on collateralized loans to businesses.  
Home Equity loans increased $4.4 million with a new promotion beginning in 
the first quarter of 1997.  Residential Real Estate loans increased 
$7.0 million since December 31, 1996.  These loans are exclusively ARM and 
balloon loans, as the Company does not retain long-term, fixed-rate loans in 
its loan portfolio.

    The Company's nonaccrual loans increased to $2.6 million at June 30, 1997 
from December 31, 1996.  The increased is largely attributed to one 
relationship on which the Company believes it is adequately collateralized.

DEPOSITS

    Total deposits were $570.7 million as of June 30, 1997, an increase of 
$10.6 million from December 31, 1996.  This growth was primarily in 
certificates of deposit due to short-term promotional certificates offered in 
connection with the renovation of the Lockport branch.  The Company has seen 
a slowing of its growth due to the maturity of some of its promotional 
certificates issued in 1996.

COMMON STOCK

    On March 11, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 
5% stock dividend to shareholders of record April 1,1997.  The stock dividend 
was paid on April 14, 1997.
