                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   MARCH 31, 1998
                                    (UNAUDITED)

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 month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that maybe expected for the year ended December 31, 
1998.  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 on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     At December 31, 1997, the company adopted  SFAS No. 128, " Earnings per 
share."  SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted 
earnings per share ("EPS").  Basic EPS is computed by dividing income 
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of  common 
shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential 
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common 
stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  Options issued with a 
weighted average exercise price exceeding the weighted average market value 
of the shares are excluded from dilutive securities.  All option shares were 
included as potential dilutive securities in 1998 and 1997. All weighted 
average common shares and dilutive securities have been increased to reflect 
annual 5% stock dividends paid in 1998 and years prior, and the merger and 
conversion of shares in conjunction with the Company's stock offering.  All 
prior period EPS data has been restated to give effect to the adoption of 
this statement.

The calculation of EPS is as follows:

        In January 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 130  "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 
130).  This statement establishes standards for  the reporting and display of 
comprehensive income and its components in the full set of financial 
statements.  This statement affects the display of comprehensive income in the 
financial statements and does not address recognition or measurement of 
comprehensive income and its components.  Total comprehensive income for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $1,497,000 and $712,000, 
respectively.

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

     The Company has evaluated other recent pronouncements of various 
accounting standards setting bodies.  The Company believes that the adoption 
of any of these other pronouncements will not have a material impact on the 
Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3.   NOTES RECEIVABLE OFFICER/STOCKHOLDERS

     Notes receivable-officer stockholders, which amounted to $2,648,000 at 
March 31, 1998 have been repaid to the Company effective April 16, 1998.

NOTE 4.   ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO

     In February, 1998, the Company borrowed $25,000,000 at a rate of 5.15% 
with a five-year scheduled maturity.  The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago 
has a one-time right to call the borrowing at the one year anniversary.  The 
borrowing is secured with a blanket pledge of the Bank's assets.

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 month period ended March 31, 1998.  This discussion 
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed 
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this 
report.

OVERVIEW

                                      10

<PAGE>

     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.  In September 1996, the 
Company completed the merger of its four subsidiary banks into one bank 
subsidiary and renamed the bank "Beverly National Bank".

     On March 15, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of 
Merger (the "Agreement") with St. Paul Bancorp, Inc. ("St. Paul") pursuant to 
which St. Paul will acquire the Company in a tax-free stock-for-stock 
exchange (the "Merger").  Under the Agreement, each share of the Company's 
common stock outstanding at the time of the Merger will be converted into 
1.063 shares of St. Paul common stock.  The Merger is subject to approval by 
the Company's shareholders, and St. Paul's authorized shares and the issuance 
of the stock being offered as consideration in connection with the Merger.  
The Merger is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing 
conditions.

     In connection with the Agreement, St. Paul and the Company entered into 
an Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") pursuant to which the Company 
granted St. Paul an option, exercisable under certain circumstances, to 
purchase an aggregate of 1,100,488 newly issued shares of common stock of the 
Company at an exercise price of $22.92 per share.

     The net income of the Company was $1.7 million for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998, compared with net income of $1.6 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1997.  Diluted earnings per share for the first 
quarter of 1998 was $0.28 compared with $0.26 for the first quarter of 1997.  
The increase in earnings per share is attributed mainly to an increase in net 
interest income, a reduction of operating expenses and growth in certain 
categories of non interest income, which was partially offset by a provision 
for loan loss and lower gains on the sale of securities.  The following table 
sets forth certain selected additional financial data of the company.

</TABLE>

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's net interest 
income increased $304,000 (4.7%) to $6.8 million on a taxable equivalent 
basis from $6.5 million in the first  quarter of 1997.  Interest on earning 
assets increased $916,000 (8.1%) to $12.2 million in the first quarter of 
1998 from $11.3 million in the same period in 1997 due primarily to growth in 
loans outstanding (which provide higher yields than alternative investments). 
The Company's interest expense increased $612,000 (12.7%) to $5.4 million in 
the first quarter of 1998 from $4.8 million 

                                      12

<PAGE>

from the same period in 1997 due to growth in deposits and the addition of 
$25 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.

LOAN LOSS PROVISION

     The Company provided $180,000 to the allowance for loan losses in the 
first quarter of 1998.  No provision to the allowance for loan losses was 
made during the same period in 1997.  The loan loss provision has remained 
relatively low due to the Company's strong asset quality, and a relatively 
high concentration in generally low-risk residential real estate loans.

OTHER INCOME

     Other income decreased $141,000 to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 
1998, compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 1997, due primarily to 
lower gains on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities.  
Fiduciary income increased $83,000 (16%) due primarily to fees associated 
with growth in trust assets under management.  Service charges on deposit 
accounts increased $84,000 (9%) due primarily to the increase in overdraft 
charges.  Mortgage origination and servicing fees increased $24,000 (23%) due 
primarily to origination fees and capitalized servicing rights associated 
with an increase in loans sold to the secondary market. 

OPERATING EXPENSES

     Operating expenses decreased $256,000 (4%) to $6.1 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $6.3 million in the three months 
ended March 31, 1997.  Salaries and Benefits decreased $400,000 (13%) due to 
lower temporary help expense, a decrease in severance costs and higher 
deferred salaries from the origination of loans.  Occupancy expense increased 
$67,000 (10%) due primarily to costs related to maintaining two additional 
branches, which opened later in 1997, and increased depreciation associated 
with the remodeling of several of the Company's existing branches.  Equipment 
expense increased $107,000 (28%) due primarily to costs associated with 
additional branches and costs associated with the rental and maintenance of 
new ATM machines.  Supplies expense increased $73,000  (81%) due to higher 
deferred costs in 1997.  Telephone expense increased $82,000 (67%) due to the 
implementation of a new phone system and service, and higher usage due to a 
new automated customer service system.  Outside services decreased $122,000 
(51%) due to lower costs related to consulting services received.

     The Company's loan portfolio has decreased $3.6 million or 1% since
December 31, 1997.  Residential real estate loans and Consumer loans have
decreased $4.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in 1998 due to payoffs
and refinancing activity.  Home equity loans and Commercial and industrial loans
have increased $1.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in 1998, due to
focused sales efforts by the Company.

NON-PERFORMING LOANS

</TABLE>

     The Company's nonaccrual loans increased to $3.0 million at March 31, 
1998 from $2.1 million at December 31, 1997.    The increase in nonaccrual 
loans is attributed to 2 commercial loans and 1 home equity loan, which 
management believes to be adequately collateralized.

DEPOSITS

     Total deposits were $603.7 million as of March 31, 1998 compared to 
$590.0 million as of December 31, 1997, an increase of $13.7 million or 2.3%. 
The growth in deposits resulted primarily from increases of $3.4 million in 
Demand deposit accounts,  $9.1 million in  NOW accounts and $6.4 million in 
Money Market accounts.  Time certificates of deposit and Savings accounts 
decreased $4.9 million and $.3 million, respectively.  The decrease in 
outstanding time deposits resulted primarily from the Company's strategy to 
lower interest rates for certain time deposits upon renewal.    

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On April 14, 1998, the Company paid a 5% stock dividend to shareholders 
of record on April 1,1998.  The dividend resulted in 274,967 shares being 
issued. The additional shares have not been reflected in the balance sheet of 
the Company as of March 31, 1998, but earnings per share have been restated 
to reflect the 5% dividend. 

     On April 15, 1998, the Company paid a $.09 per share dividend to 
shareholders of record on April 1, 1998.  The dividend, which amounted to 
approximately $520,000, was declared  and recorded as payable as of March 31, 
1998. 

     Notes receivable-officer stockholders, which amounted to $2,648,000 at 
March 31, 1998 have been repaid to the Company effective April 16, 1998.

LIQUIDITY

     The Company manages its liquidity position with the objective of 
maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and 
borrowers and to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities.  In 
addition to the normal inflow of funds from core-deposit growth, together with 
repayments and maturities of loans and investments, the Company utilizes 
other short-term funding sources such as secured borrowings, overnight funds 
purchased from correspondent banks and the acceptance of short-term deposits 
from public entities.  In the first quarter of 1997, the Bank received 
approval for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, which 
provides an additional source of liquidity.

     The Company monitors and manages its liquidity position on several 
bases, which vary depending upon the time period.  As the time period is 
expanded, other data is factored in, including estimated loan funding 
requirements, estimated loan payoffs, investment portfolio maturities or 
calls, and anticipated depository buildups or runoffs.

     The Company classifies the majority of its investment securities as 
available-for-sale, thereby maintaining significant liquidity.  The Company's 
liquidity position is further enhanced by structuring the majority of its 
loan portfolio interest payments as monthly, and also by the significant 
representation of retail credit and residential mortgage loans in the 
Company's loan portfolio, resulting in a steady stream of pre-payments.  In 
managing its investment portfolio, the Company provides for staggered 
maturities so that cash flows are provided as such investments mature.

                                      15

<PAGE>

     The Company's cash flows are composed of three classifications:  cash 
flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and 
cash flows from financing activities.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, 
$1.0 million of net cash was used in operating activities.   The decrease in 
accrued expenses and other liabilities and an increase in loans held for sale 
exceeded net income for the quarter.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, 
$2.1 million of net cash was provided from operating activities.  Net income 
and a reduction of loans held for sale were partially offset by reductions in 
accrued expenses and other liabilities.  A significant component in the 
fluctuation of net cash provided by or used in operating activities is the 
timing of the transfer of loans held for sale to permanent investors.  Net 
cash used in investing activities, consisting primarily of loan and 
investment funding, was $21.2 million and $9.0 million for the quarters ended 
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Net cash provided by financing 
activities, which consisted principally of deposit growth and an increase in 
secured borrowings, was $38.5 million and $10.9 million for the quarters 
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  During the quarter ended March 
31, 1998, the Company borrowed $25.0 million from the Federal Home Bank of 
Chicago for investment purposes.  

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     The primary purpose of asset/liability management is to coordinate the 
levels of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize net interest 
income fluctuations in times of fluctuating market interest rates.  
Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those that are subject to 
repricing in the near term, including both variable-rate instruments and 
those fixed-rate instruments which are approaching maturity or are subject to 
prepayment. Fluctuations in net interest income arise when interest rates on 
interest-earning assets (e.g. loans and investment securities) change in a 
different time period from that of interest rates on interest-bearing 
liabilities (e.g. deposits and other borrowings).  Fluctuations in net 
interest income also arise from changes in the mix and volumes of 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

     The Company's strategy with respect to asset/liability management is to 
maximize net interest income while limiting risk associated with the market 
volatility of interest rates.  

     This strategy is implemented by the Company's Asset/Liability Committee 
("ALCO"). The Company's ALCO is comprised of the Chairman of the Board, Chief 
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the Executive Vice President 
of Retail and Commercial Sales.  The Chairman of the Board also serves as 
Chairman of the ALCO.

     In addition to developing the Asset Liability management policy for 
adoption by the Board of Directors, ALCO is responsible for formulating 
strategies and taking actions necessary for the achievement of the policy 
purpose, and for monitoring the performance of the Company's management of 
interest-rate and liquidity risk on a quarterly basis.

     An Asset/Liability analysis model is utilized by ALCO to measure and 
identify potential interest rate risk.  The Asset/Liability analysis model 
uses cash flows and repricing information from each individual loan and 
certificate of deposit, plus repricing assumptions on products without 
specific repricing dates (e.g. savings and interest-bearing demand deposits) 
to calculate the duration of the Company's assets and liabilities.  

     ALCO also reviews current and forecasted interest-rate scenarios 
quarterly. Forecasted rate scenarios may result in parallel and non-parallel 
shifts from current interest-rate yield curves, depending upon expected 
changes to economic conditions.  

                                      16

<PAGE>

     The Asset/Liability model also forecasts the potential effect on the 
Company's earnings and net interest income for the next 12 month period and 
the theoretical value of Company's equity as of a specific date given an 
assumed change in interest rates.  Consistent with supervisory guidance, the 
use of a 200 basis point immediate increase or decrease to current market 
interest rates is assumed for modeling purposes.

     The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of the 
Company's assets and liabilities as of March 31, 1998, and sets forth the 
repricing dates of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing 
liabilities as of that date, as well as the Company's interest rate 
sensitivity gap percentages for the periods presented.  The table is based 
upon assumptions as to when assets and liabilities will reprice in a changing 
interest rate environment, and since such assumptions can be no more than 
estimates, certain assets and liabilities indicated as maturing or otherwise 
repricing within a stated period may, in fact, mature or reprice at different 
times and at different  volumes than those estimated.  Also, the renewal or 
repricing of certain assets and liabilities can be discretionary and subject 
to competitive and other pressures.  Therefore, the following table does not 
and cannot necessarily indicate the actual future impact of general interest 
rate movements on the Company's net interest income.

</TABLE>

     Mortgage backed securities, including adjustable rate mortgage pools and 
collateralized mortgage obligations, are included in the above table based on 
their estimated weighted average lives obtained from outside analytical 
sources. Loans are included in the above table based on contractual maturity 
or contractual repricing dates.  Interest bearing demand and savings deposits 
are included in the above table based on the proposed policy statement issued 
by bank regulators on August 4, 1995.  The table uses the maximum maturity 
distribution allowed, which is consistent with the Company's actual 
historical experience.  

     The results of the Asset Liability sensitivity analysis indicate that 
the Company is moderately liability sensitive, and thus exposed to 
interest-rate risk.  The assumed rate shock of an immediate 200 basis point 
increase in rates would likely reduce the Company's net interest income and 
net income for the next 12 months by approximately $.7 million and $.4 
million, respectively.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     A critical issue has emerged in the banking industry and for the economy
overall regarding  how existing application software programs, operating systems
and hardware can accommodate the date value for the year 2000. Many existing
software products in the marketplace were designed only to accommodate a two
digit date position which represents the year (e.g., 97 is stored on the system
and represents the year 1997).  As a result, the year 2000 would be stored as
00, and may be recognized as the year 1900 on many systems.  Therefore, 1999 is
the maximum date value which these systems would be able to accurately process. 

     Management is currently in the process of evaluating all significant 
application software and hardware being utilized in order to ensure that the 
Company is prepared for the year 2000.  The Company's third party service 
providers, for substantially all of its banking operations and fiduciary 
activities, have indicated that they are currently or will be year 2000 
compliant.  The Company's regulatory agencies require  testing of these 
systems for compliance in 1998.  Management is also in the process of 
evaluating the potential negative impact of this issue with customers, 
primarily those which have a significant credit relationship with the 
Company.  Management does not anticipate that the Company will incur material 
operating or credit related expenses, or be required to invest heavily in 
computer system improvements to be year 2000 compliant.  Nevertheless, the 
failure to successfully address year 2000 issues could result in 
interruptions in the Company's business and have a material adverse effect on 
the Company's results of operations.   

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.
