Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws: Change in Fiscal Year.

Rule changes promulgated by the American Stock Exchange, LLC require AMEX-listed companies to be eligible for a direct registration system (“DRS”) by January 1, 2008. DRS refers to a system by which shares may be held in book entry form without a certificate. At a meeting held on September 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of Beverly National Corporation (the “Corporation”) adopted amended Bylaws in order to ensure that the Corporation’s securities are DRS-eligible. As amended, Article IV of the Bylaws permits the Corporation to issue certificated or uncertificated shares. Previously, the Corporation’s Bylaws provided for certificated shares only.

At such meeting, the Board of Directors of the Corporation also amended the provision in the Bylaws with respect to age eligibility requirements of Directors. Article II, Section 2 of the Bylaws had provided, in relevant part, that: “a person shall not stand for election or re-election to the Board of the Corporation after reaching the age of seventy-two (72).” By establishing January 1 as the date for determining the age of a person and whether he or she is qualified for election to the Board, the eligibility of a person for election will not fluctuate based on the date of the annual meeting. Accordingly, the Board adopted an amendment to such provision providing that a Director may not stand for election or re-election to the Board if he or she reaches the age of seventy-two (72) as of January 1 of the year of such election. Such amendment relating to age requirements applies to all Directors, however, none of the Corporation’s current Directors, whose terms expire at the next annual meeting of the Corporation, are currently of an age at which they would be ineligible for election at the next annual meeting.

The Corporation’s amended Bylaws are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1, and are incorporated herein by reference.
