Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction
- ------------

The following discussion includes Beverly National Corporation (the 
"Corporation") and its subsidiaries, Beverly National Bank (the "Bank"), and 
Cabot Street Realty Trust (the "Realty Trust").

Summary
- -------

The Corporation's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was 
$469,568 as compared to $429,185 for the time period ended March 31, 1997.  
This represents a increase of $40,383 or 9.4%.  Earnings per share totaled $.56
for the three months ende d March 31, 1998, as compared to earnings per share
of $.54 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.


                         THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
                   AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 1998, 
totaled $2,397,222 as compared to $2,217,478 for the same time period in 1997.
This increase was $179,744 or 8.1%.  Total interest and dividend income equaled
$3,700,961 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $3,414,085
for the same time period in 1997, an increase of $286,876 or 8.4%.  Loan income
for the three months ended March 31, 1998, totaled $2,954,282 as compared to 
$2,709,612 for the same time period in 1997.  This increase of $244,670 or 9.0%
represents increased loan production and the reduction of non-performing 
assets. Interest and Dividends on Taxable Investment Securities for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $574,029 as compared to $611,030 for the 
same period in 1997.  This decrease of $37,001 or 6.1% is attributable to a 
lower volume of investments.  The taxable investment portfolio decreased
$1,229,838 during the quarter.  The interest earned from federal funds sold
increased $76,642 or 84.9% for the three months ended March 30, 1998 when
compared to the same time period in 1997, due to increased volume.  This 
reflects increased liquidity due to a steady loan demand, a stable deposit base
and higher short-term rates.

Deposit interest expense equaled $1,295,043 for the three months ended March 
31, 1998, as compared to $1,188,123 for the same period in 1997. This increase
of $106,920 or 9.0% reflects the current strategy of managing the cost of funds
of the Bank.  The Bank generally pays competitive rates for its deposit base in
the local market.  During the first quarter 1998 the Bank offered a certificate
of deposit program with an attractive rate in the 18 to 30 month maturity 
range, which resulted in an additional $6,000,000 in deposits.
<PAGE>
Notes payable interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
totaled $8,696 which was approximately the same in comparison to the 
corresponding time period in 1997.

Loan Loss Provision
- -------------------

No provisions to the allowance for possible loan losses were made during the 
first calendar quarters of 1998 or 1997, respectively.  At March 31, 1998, the
Corporation's allowance for possible loan losses was $1,987,104 representing 
1.5% of gross loans as compared to $2,163,349 and a ratio of 1.6% of gross
loans at December 31, 1997.

The Corporation's non-accrual loans were $247,413 at March 31, 1998 as compared
to $341,366 at December 31, 1997.  The decrease in non-accrual loans can be 
attributed primarily to the additional resources devoted to collecting the 
loans that are in non-accrual status.

The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and mortgages held for sale 
was 23% for March 31, 1998 as compared to 38% as of December 31, 1997. This  
decrease can be attributed to a reduction volume of loans that were temporarily
overdue 90 days or more and a lower non accrual balance.  The ratio of
non-performing assets to allowance for loan losses equaled 15.3% at March 31,
1998 as compared to 23.5% at December 31, 1997. 

A total of $224,540 loans were charged off by the Corporation during the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $39,277 charged off during the 
corresponding period in 1997.  These charge-offs consisted primarily of loans 
to small businesses and individuals.  A total of $48,295 was recovered of 
previously charged off notes by the Corporation during the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to $5,591 recovered during the corresponding period
in 1997.

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

Noninterest income totaled $513,453 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
as compared to $488,543 for three months ended March 31, 1997.  This is an 
increase of $24,910 or 5.1%.  Income from fiduciary activities totaled $271,277
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $263,947 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997. This $7,330 or 2.8% increase can be
primarily attributed to increased reoccurring trust business. Service charges 
on deposit accounts totaled $93,338 for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
as compared to $107,456 for the same time period in 1997.  This decrease is due
to the promotion of deposit products that do not have a service charge and a
reduction of volume in the Banks lockbox operation. 

Other deposit fees increased $6,802 or 13.5% for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 as compared to the same time period in 1997.  Other income for the 
three month period ended March 31, 1998 totaled $91,690 as compared to $66,794 
for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, a increase of $24,896 or 
37.3%.  This increase of income is the result of sale of the mortgages in the 
secondary market.
<PAGE>
Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

Noninterest expense totaled $2,127,007 for the three months ended March 31, 
1998, as compared to $1,964,936 for the same time period in 1997.  This 
increase totaled $162,071 or 8.3%.  This increase is primarily attributed to  
additional personnel.  Salaries and benefits totaled $1,279,276 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 and $1,148,672 for the same time period in 1997.
This $130,604 or 11.4% increase is due to increased staffing in financial 
planning and additional branches.  Occupancy expense totaled $200,217 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $180,323 for the same period 
in 1997 which is an increase of $19,894 or 11.0%.  This increase is due to 
the Cummings branch being open for the entire quarter in 1998 as compared to 
one month in 1997 and higher rents paid.  The costs of equipment totaled 
$109,300 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $101,129 for
the same period in 1997.  The increased equipment expense in 1998 can be
attributed to the branch expansion and new products offered.  Data processing 
fees totaled $57,740 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 
$61,055 for the corresponding time in 1997. This is a decrease of $3,315 or 
5.4%.  Other expenses totaled $441,929 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 as compared to $426,582 for the same period in 1997.  This reflects an
increase of $15,346 or 3.6% which can be attributed to an increase in postage, 
fraud loss, and information services.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled 
$314,100 in comparison to an income tax provision of $311,900 for the same time
period in 1997.  This increase reflects an increase of taxable income.

Net Income
- ----------

Net income amounted to $469,568 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as 
compared to net income of $429,185 for the same period in 1997, which is a 
increase of $40,383 or 9.4%.  The earnings increase is due to higher interest 
income in 1998 as compared to the same time period in 1997.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

As of March 31, 1998, the Corporation had total capital in the amount of 
$17,527,250, as compared with $16,990,710 at December 31, 1997, which 
represents an increase of $536,540 or 3.2%.  The Bank is required to maintain a
Tier 1 capital at a level equal to or greater than 4.0% of the Bank's adjusted 
total assets.  As of March 31, 1998, the Bank's Tier 1 capital amounted to 
7.95% of total assets.  In addition, banks and holding companies must maintain
minimum levels of risk-based capital equal to risk weighted assets of 8.00%.  
At March 31, 1998, the Bank's ratio of risk-based capital to risk weighted
assets amounted to 13.44%, which satisfies the applicable risk based capital 
requirements.  As of December 31, 1997, the Bank's Tier 1 capital amounted to 
7.78% of total assets and risk based capital amounted to 13.09% of total risk 
based assets.

The Corporation is required to maintain a Tier 1 capital at a level equal to or
greater than 4.0% of the Bank's adjusted total assets.  As of March 31, 1998, 
the Corporation's Tier 1 capital amounted to 13.70% of total assets.  In 
addition, banks and holding companies must maintain minimum levels of risk-
based capital equal to risk weighted assets of 8.00%.  At March 31, 1997, the
Corporation's ratio of risk-based capital to risk weighted assets amounted to 
14.95%, which satisfies the applicable risk based capital requirements.  As of
December 31,1997, the Corporation's Tier 1 capital amounted to 8.68% of
total assets and risk based capital amounted to 14.39% of total risk based
assets.

The capital ratios of the Corporation and the Bank exceed regulatory 
requirements.

Liquidity
- ---------

The primary function of asset/liability management is to assure adequate
liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive 
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Liquidity management involves
the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either
depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that 
sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs.  Interest rate
sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to 
enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing
interest rates.

Certain marketable investment securities, particularly those of shorter 
maturities, are the principal source of asset liquidity. The Corporation 
maintains such securities in an available for sale account as a liquidity 
resource.  Securities maturing in one year or less amounted to approximately 
$11,259,504 or 30.5% at March 31, 1998 of the investment securities portfolio,
and $10,605,238 at December 31, 1997, representing 27.9% of the
investment securities portfolio.  Assets such as federal funds sold,
mortgages held for sale, as well as maturing loans are also sources of 
liquidity.  The Corporation's goal and general practice is to be interest rate
sensitive, neutral, and maintain a net cumulative gap at one year or less than
10% of Total Earning Assets, so that changes in interest rates should not
dramatically impact income as assets and liabilities mature and reprice 
concurrently.
