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 nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that two weeks may be 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 PRONOUNCEMENTS

      The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE ("SFAS 128"), 
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 $.33 and $.36, and 
diluted earnings per share of $.32 and $.35 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 and 1996.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 
and 1996 the pro-forma effect of adopting the new standard would be basic 
earnings per share of $.93 and $1.08 and diluted earnings per share of $.89 
and $1.05.

      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.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following discussion and analysis is a review of significant 
factors affecting the results of operations and the financial condition of 
the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 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 $1.8 million for the three months 
ended September  30, 1997, compared with net income of $1.7 million for the 
three months ended September 30, 1996.  Earnings per share for the third 
quarter of 1997 was $.32, compared to $.35 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996. The net income of the Company was $5.1 million for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared with net income of $4.7 
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Earnings per share for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $.89, compared to $1.05 per 
share in the first nine months of 1996.  The reduction in earnings per share 
is attributed to an increase of 1.15 million shares which were issued during 
the Company's initial public offering in August 1996.  The following table 
sets forth certain selected additional financial data of the Company:

   For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the net interest income 
increased $573,000 or 9.2% to $6.8 million on a taxable equivalent basis from 
$6.3 million in the third quarter of 1996.  Interest on earning assets 
increased $623,000 or 5.6% to $11.9 million in the third quarter of 1997 from 
$11.2 million in the third quarter of 1996 due primarily to the increase in 
loans outstanding and a favorable change in the earning asset composition by 
reducing lower yielding investment securities. Interest expense increased 
$50,000 or 1.0% to $5.0 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $4.9 
million for the same period in 1996 due to growth in interest bearing 
deposits. Interest expense on the note payable was eliminated with the 
payoff of the note in 1996.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net interest income 
increased $2.1 million or 11.6% to $19.9 million on a taxable equivalent 
basis from $17.8 million in the same period of 1996.  Interest on earning 
assets increased $2.3 million or 7.1% to $34.8 million for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1997 from $32.5 million for the same period in 1996, 
primarily due to growth in loans and a favorable change in the composition of 
earning assets.  Total interest expense increased $214,000 or 1.5% to $14.8 
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $14.6 million for 
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 provided $180,000 for loan losses in the third quarter of
1997 compared to $40,000 in the same period in 1996. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1997,  $180,000 was provided for loan losses compared to $115,000
for the same period in 1996.  Loan loss provisions have remained relatively low
due to the Company's strong asset quality position, significant loan loss
recoveries, and a relatively high concentration in generally low-risk
residential real estate loans.

OTHER INCOME

    Other income increased by $561,000 to $2.5 million in the third quarter of
1997, compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 1996, primarily due to
gains of $203,000 on the sale of mortgage servicing rights and  $193,000 in net
gains on sales of investment securities.  Additionally, income increased from
fiduciary activities by $66,000, service-charges on deposit accounts by $49,000
and mortgage origination fees by $81,000, while other income decreased by
$26,000.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, other income increased by
$1,224,000 to $7.3 million from $6.1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, primarily due to gains of $486,000 on the sales of mortgage servicing
rights, $140,000 from the sale of other real estate and $570,000 from the sale
of investment securities.  Fiduciary income increased by $154,000, or 10%, to
$1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

OPERATING EXPENSES

    For the three months-ended September 30, 1997, operating expenses increased
by $775,000 or 14.1% to $6.3 million, compared to $5.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996.  Salaries and benefits increased $278,000 or
10.7% to $2.9 million due to higher staffing levels and higher payroll costs. 
Occupancy expense increased by $60,000 or 9.9% to $668,000 due to the remodeling
of several of the Company's branches.  Other expenses increased by $388,000 or
32.5% to $1.6 million due to increased audit expense, professional services,
telephone expense and guard service.

    For the nine months-ended September 30, 1997, operating expenses 
increased $2.6 million or 16.1% to $19.0 million, compared to $16.4 million 
in the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Salaries and benefits increased 
$971,000 due to higher staffing levels, higher payroll costs and certain 
severance arrangements.  Occupancy expense increased $180,000 due to the 
remodeling of certain branch facilities, and the opening of the Company's 
Will-Cook branch in February of 1996. Other expense increased $963,000 due to 
increases in audit expense, telephone expense, professional services and 
operational losses.

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


    The Company's loan portfolio has increased $33.0 million or 8.9% since
December 31, 1996.  Commercial real estate loans increased $20.5 million in 1997
due to the Company's emphasis on collateralized loans to businesses.  Home
Equity loans increased $7.6 million with a new promotion beginning in the first
quarter of 1997.  Residential real estate loans increased 
$2.4  million in 1997.  The residential loans are composed primarily of
adjustable rate mortgages 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 $2.0 million at September 30,
1997 from $1.2 million at December 31, 1996.  The increase is largely attributed
to one loan which the Company believes to be adequately collateralized.


DEPOSITS

    Total deposits were $571.7 million as of September 30, 1997, an increase of
$11.6 million from December 31, 1996.  This growth was primarily in certificates
of deposit.  The Company has seen a slowing of its growth in 1997 due to an
aggregate $2.7 million reduction in demand, savings, and money market accounts
since December 31, 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.


SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995.

    This quarterly report contains forward looking statements.  Forward looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Company are subject to risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to the following:  changes in interest
rates and other economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the Company;
there is no assurance as to the sufficiency of the Company's allowance for loan
losses; current and future government regulation could have an adverse impact on
the Company; and the financial services business is extremely competitive with a
number of competitors being substantially larger than the Company.  Accordingly,
actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward looking
statements.  Attention is also directed to other risk factors set forth in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
