NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------
1. The balance sheet as of November 30, 1997, the statements of
operations for the three months and six months ended November 30, 1997 and
1996, and the statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended
November 30, 1997 and 1996, have been prepared without audit. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented have been
made.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the May 31, 1997 annual report. The results of operations for the
period ended November 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.
2. During the second quarter of 1997 and in connection with the bankruptcy
of the former lessee of the land, the ownership of the building located on
the land owned by the Trust was transferred to the lessee's lender in
satisfaction of the lessee's mortgage. In addition, the Trust has entered
into an agreement with the new building owner to sell as one entity the
land owned by the Trust and the building. In consideration for entering
into the agreement, the Trust received $250,000 in advances from the
owner. The owner assumed the lease of the land owned by the Trust.

PART I - ITEM 2
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Due to the passive nature of the Registrant's activities, which generally
include only the collection of rent and the disbursements of these proceeds
less expenses to the certificate holders of the Registrant, there has been no
material variation in the Registrant's financial condition or results of
operations.

Note 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of business: Bankers Building Land Trust is a trust organized under the
laws of the State of Illinois which is engaged in the single business activity
of holding title to certain land in Chicago, Illinois, collecting rent from the
lease of the land and disbursing the net proceeds to the holders of beneficial
interest certificates.
A summary of the Trust's significant accounting policies follows:
Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Land valuation: The land has been valued at its cost to the parties that
established the Trust in 1926 based upon information obtained from the records
of the Cook County Recorder.
Deferred rental income: The Trust defers rental income received in advance of
the period for which the rent applies. This is amortized into income over the
rental period on a straight-line basis.
Financial instruments: The Trust has no financial instruments for which the
carrying value differs materially from the fair value.
Note 2. LEASE AND SERVICING FEES
The Trust is the lessor of approximately 22,300 square feet of land located on
the southwest corner of Clark and West Adams Streets in the central business
district of the City of Chicago. The lease commenced on June 1, 1926 and
expires on May 31, 2025. The annual rental, payable in quarterly installments
for the leased property is $275,000 plus servicing fees for expenses of the
trustee.
The following is a schedule by years of minimum future rentals on the lease as
of November 30, 1997:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2. LEASE AND SERVICING FEES (CONTINUED)
The Trust has an agreement with the owner of the building situated on the land
(lessee) to sell the land and the building as one entity.
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
The Trust is considered a partnership for income tax purposes. The Trust has
been deemed to have made an election out of the partnership provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no partnership income tax returns are filed
on behalf of the trust. Distributions to certificate holders are taxable to
the certificate holders, and reported by means of an information return.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial
statements.
