NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments that are necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Basic EPS excludes dilution and 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 the securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

3. RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current statement presentation.

4. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments” (SFAS 155), which permits, but does not require, fair value accounting for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The statement also subjects beneficial interests issued by securitization vehicles to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. The statement is effective as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in specific situations. Additionally, the servicing asset or servicing liability shall be initially measured at fair value; however, an entity may elect the “amortization method” or “fair value method” for subsequent balance sheet reporting periods. SFAS 156 is effective as of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, for any period of that fiscal year. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2006 the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting

6

principles (GAAP) and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 retains the exchange price notion and clarifies that the exchange price is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year beginning on January 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) on Issue No. 06-4 “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (“EITF Issue 06-4”). EITF 06-4 requires companies with an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement to recognize a liability for future postretirement benefits. The effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with earlier application permitted. Companies should recognize the effects of applying this issue through either (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods. The adoption of this issue did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, and early application may be elected in certain circumstances. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2008), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. It also amends the accounting treatment for certain specific items including acquisition costs and non controlling minority interests and includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations.

5. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains five stock-based employee compensation plans. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, stock-based employee compensation costs recorded as expenses amounted to $18,000, compared to $4,000 for the same period last year. These figures include compensation costs for grants made to employees pursuant to the Company’s Restricted Stock Plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Introduction

The following discussion includes Beverly National Corporation (“Company”) and its subsidiary, Beverly National Bank (“Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Beverly National Security Corporation (“BNSC”). BNSC was established to buy, sell and hold securities for the Bank’s investment portfolios.

Critical Accounting Estimates

In preparing the Company’s financial statements, management selects and applies numerous accounting policies. In applying these policies, management must make estimates and assumptions. The accounting policy that is most susceptible to critical estimates and assumptions is the allowance for loan losses. The determination of an appropriate provision is based on a determination of the probable amount of credit losses in the loan portfolio. Many factors influence the amount of potential charge-offs of loans deemed to be uncollectible. These factors include the specific characteristics of the loan portfolio and general economic conditions nationally and locally. While management carefully considers these factors in determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary due to changed conditions, which could have an adverse impact on reported earnings in the future. See “Provisions and Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Summary

Total assets as of March 31, 2008 increased $15.1 million, or 3.2%, to $487.9 million compared to $472.8 million at December 31, 2007. Investments increased $7.1 million, or 6.2%, and loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased $12.3 million, or 3.9%. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $4.4 million, or 28.6%.

8

The considerable asset growth during the past quarter was due to the Bank taking advantage of certain opportunities to increase interest earning assets at very attractive yields. This included utilizing available funding sources and reallocating existing resources to increase investment activity and expand the loan portfolio. The strategic focus of the Bank is to grow the loan portfolio and pursue potential investment alternatives, using avenues with the lowest feasible cost available to the Bank. Deposits increased $8.9 million, or 2.5%, repurchase agreements decreased $1.9 million, or 16.3%, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $8.1 million, or 13.6%. This growth in deposits reflects the Bank’s expanded retail operations and the introduction of an enhanced line of deposit products. Management’s focus continues to be on maintaining the appropriate strategic direction during these challenging and uncertain economic times and resources are allocated to areas providing the most beneficial returns, without compromising the Bank’s high standards for strong asset quality. Emphasis on augmenting earnings through noninterest income related activities as well as maintaining operating expenses and improved efficiencies are also key components of the Bank’s strategy.

The Company reported net income for the quarter of $910,000, or basic and fully diluted earnings of $0.34 per share, compared to net income of $807,000, or basic and fully diluted earnings of $0.29 per share for the same quarter last year. These results represent an increase in net income of $103,000, or 12.8%, and a 17.2% increase in basic and fully diluted earnings per share. Such increase is primarily a result of an increase in net interest income. The improvement in net interest income is a result of the Bank maximizing opportunities presented in this volatile interest rate environment and maintaining its strong asset quality. Continuing to show strong performance improvement in a very challenging and competitive environment highlights the positive results that efforts placed on business development and improving operating efficiencies are netting the Company.

Total interest and dividend income, when compared to the same period last year, increased by $252,000, or 3.9%. This was primarily the result of the increase in interest-earning assets, as yields on these assets have actually decreased from the same quarter last year due to the decrease in market interest rates.

Total interest expense increased by $146,000, or 5.9%, compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in interest-bearing liabilities, as market interest rates have resulted in a decrease in the cost of these liabilities.

A provision of $128,000 was made to the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $150,000 for the same period last year. Despite the decrease in the comparable period’s provision, the allowance for loan losses was 1.11% and 1.02% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Non-performing loans represented less than 0.1% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and 2007, totaling $245,000 and $39,000, respectively. These results reflect the continuing enhancement of the practices that have allowed for a history of consistently strong asset quality.

10

The above changes in interest income and expense resulted in an increase in net interest and dividend income after provision for loan losses of $128,000, or 3.3% from the comparable quarter last year.

The Company’s net interest margin decreased by approximately eleven basis points, from 3.90% to 3.79%, from the comparable quarter last year.

The income tax provision for the quarter decreased by $21,000, or 6.9%, compared to the same period last year. The decrease, despite the increase in income before income taxes, is due to the increase in tax-exempt securities, such as municipal investments, and securities eligible for the dividends received deduction, such as certain preferred stock purchases. These changes netted the Company a decrease of 3.7% in its effective tax rate.

Provisions and Allowance for Loan Losses

Credit risk is inherent in the business of extending loans. The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings. A provision of $128,000 was made to the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $150,000 for the same period last year. The allowance for loan losses was equivalent to 1.11% and 1.02% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Bank formally determines the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. This determination is based on an assessment of credit quality or “risk rating” of loans. Loans are initially risk rated when originated and are reviewed periodically. If there is deterioration in the credit, the risk rating is adjusted accordingly.

The allowance also includes a component resulting from the application of the measurement criteria of SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” Impaired loans receive individual evaluation of the allowance necessary on a quarterly basis. Impaired loans are defined in the Bank’s Loan Policy as those instances in which it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect all principal and interest due according to the terms of the note.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

12

Large groups of loans consisting of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, as a general rule, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. The loss factors applied as a general allowance are determined by a periodic analysis of the allowance for loan losses. This analysis considers historical loan losses and delinquency figures and trends.

Concentrations of credit and local economic factors are also evaluated on a periodic basis. Historical average net losses by loan type are examined and any identified trends are assessed. The Bank’s loan mix over that same period of time is also analyzed. A loan loss allocation is made for each type of loan and multiplied by the loan mix percentage for each loan type to produce a weighted average factor.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

	2008			2007
	(in thousands)
	(unaudited)
Balance as of January 1st	$	3,614		$	3,044
Loans charged off		(15	)		(4	)
Provision for loan losses		128			150
Recoveries of loans previously charged off		—			2
Balance as of March 31st	$	3,727		$	3,192

The allowance for loan losses represented 1,521.2% and 8,184.6% of non-performing loans, which totaled $245,000 and $39,000, at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Non-performing loans represented less than 0.1% of total loans and mortgages held-for-sale March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Management maintains the adequacy of the allowance through monthly provisions. The amount of the provision is based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions, information obtained regarding problem loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of management’s control. The overall level of non-performing loans remains low. Accordingly, while the overall quality of the loan portfolio remains strong, management will continue to monitor economic conditions and the performance of the portfolio in order to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses.

Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had total capital of $46.2 million, an increase of $388,000, or 0.8%, from total capital as of December 31, 2007. The net change in the Bank’s capital reflects current year income, dividends paid, an entry made for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, the decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, the granting of stock awards and the exercise of stock options.

The Company’s policy has been to pay dividends out of funds in excess of the needs of the business. The Company declared and paid cash dividends to shareholders on a quarterly basis at a rate of $0.20 per share during 2007 and for the first quarter of 2008.

Generally, banks are required to maintain Tier 1 capital at a level equal to or greater than 4.0% of their average total assets. As of March 31, 2008, the Bank's Tier 1 capital amounted to 9.45% of average total assets. At March 31, 2008, the Bank's ratio of risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets amounted to 13.67%, which satisfies the applicable risk-based capital requirements. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank's Tier 1 capital amounted to 9.39% of average assets and risk-based capital amounted to 14.07% of total risk-based assets.

The capital ratios of the Bank exceed all regulatory requirements, and the entity is considered “well capitalized” by its federal supervisory agencies.

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.

13

Certain marketable investment securities, particularly those of shorter maturities, are the principal source of asset liquidity. The Company maintains such securities in an available-for-sale account as a liquidity resource. Securities maturing in one year or less amounted to $3.5 million at March 31, 2008; additionally, a minimum amount of contractual payments in the amount of $22.2 million for the mortgage-backed securities portfolio is due within one year at March 31, 2008. Assets such as federal funds sold, mortgages held for sale, pre-payments and payoffs on mortgage-backed securities, as well as maturing loans, are also sources of liquidity. The Company's objectives are to be substantially neutral with respect to interest rate sensitivity and maintain a net cumulative gap at one year of less than 15% of total earning assets. The Company’s current practices are consistent with these objectives.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. In the opinion of Management, these off-balance sheet arrangements are not likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. As of March 31, 2008, total off-balance sheet financial commitments, which include unadvanced funds on loans and commitments to fund loans and letters of credit, amounted to approximately $58.6 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q and future filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other filings, reports and press releases made or issued by the Company and the Bank, and oral statements made by executive officers of the Company and the Bank, may include forward-looking statements relating to such matters as:

(a) assumptions concerning future economic and business conditions and their effect on the economy in general and on the markets in which the Company and the Bank do business; and

(b) expectations for increased revenues and earnings for the Company and Bank through growth resulting from acquisitions, attraction of new deposit and loan customers and the introduction of new products and services.

Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions rather than historical or current facts and, therefore, are inherently uncertain and subject to risk. For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995.

The Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the actual results or experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations described or implied by such forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operation, performance, development and results of the Company’s and Bank’s business include the following:

(a) the risk of adverse changes in business conditions in the banking industry generally and in the specific markets in which the Bank operates;

(b) changes in the legislative and regulatory environment that negatively impact the Company and Bank through increased operating expenses;

(c) increased competition from other financial and non-financial institutions;

(d) the impact of technological advances; and

(e) other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Such developments could have an adverse impact on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial position and results of operation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices. In particular, the market price of interest-earning assets and liabilities may be affected by changes in interest rates. Since net interest income (the difference, or spread, between the interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings) is the Company’s primary source of revenue, interest rate risk is the most significant non-credit related market risk to which the Company is exposed. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

14

The Company’s net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 3.79%, in comparison to the 3.90% net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Interest rate risk is the exposure of net interest income to movements in interest rates. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and re-financings, the carrying value of investment securities classified as available for sale and the flow and mix of deposits.

The Asset/Liability Management Committee is comprised of the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; the Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer; the Executive Vice President and Senior Loan Officer; the Executive Vice President of Retail Banking; the Senior Vice President, Secretary and Chief Operations Officer; the Senior Vice President and Chief Risk Officer; and various lending, retail and finance officers. The Committee is responsible for managing interest rate risk in accordance with policies approved by the Board of Directors regarding acceptable levels of interest rate risk, liquidity and capital. The Committee meets bi-weekly and develops new products, sets the rates paid on deposits, approves loan pricing and reviews investment transactions. This Asset/Liability Management Committee reports to the Board of Directors’ Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is comprised of several Directors and the President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Company is subject to interest rate risk in the event that rates either increase or decrease. The two primary measurements of exposure to changes in interest rates, which the Bank manages and monitors closely, are net interest income simulation, using various interest rate scenarios, or rate shocks, and the impact on the economic value of equity, given those same interest rate scenarios.

The Bank works with a consultant to calculate and review these various measurements.

In the event that interest rates increase or decrease, the economic value of equity (EVE) changes due to its inherent correlation to changes in the market value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The Company is considered “liability sensitive” if changes in the interest rate would cause the assets of the Company to extend out, and as a result, liabilities would re-price faster than assets. Conversely, the Company is considered “asset sensitive” if interest rate changes cause liabilities to extend out, thus making assets re-price faster than liabilities.

As of March 31, 2008, the capital ratio of the Company on an EVE basis, at current rate levels, is 11.24%. Based on the most recent analysis it is estimated that an increase in interest rates over the next year of 200 basis points (for example, an increase in the prime rate from 5.00% to 7.00%) would result in an EVE capital ratio of 10.23%. Alternatively, if interest rates were to decrease over the next year by 200 basis points, the EVE capital ratio is estimated to be 9.72%. These changes are within the risk tolerance levels established by the Company policies.

As part of its risk management practices the Company runs net interest income simulations to determine the impact on net interest income given an increase or decrease in interest rates as these changes would have an impact on future levels of net interest income. These simulations require that estimates and assumptions be made with respect to deposit pricing; including potential changes in non-maturity core deposits, and reinvestment of cash flows from the loan and investment portfolios given changes in rates both up and down.

The following table summarizes the net interest income simulation as of March 31, 2008:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that based upon an evaluation as of March 31, 2008, as required by Rules 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s Management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, Management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
