           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as
of March 31, 1995, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of
Income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, give effect to the pending merger
(the "Merger") of Shawmut National Corporation ("Shawmut") into Fleet Financial
Group, Inc. ("Fleet") accounted for as a pooling of interests, the pending
merger (the "Northeast Merger") of Northeast Federal Corp. ("Northeast") into
Shawmut, the consummation of the merger (the "NBB Merger") of NBB Bancorp, Inc.
("NBB") into Fleet, the consummation of the merger (the "Plaza Merger") of Plaza
Home Mortgage Corp. ("Plaza") into Fleet, the consummation of the acquisition
(the "Barclays Acquisition") of substantially all of the assets of the Barclays
Business Finance Division of Barclays Business Credit, Inc. ("Barclays") by
Shawmut, and Fleet's repurchase (the "FMG Repurchase") of the publicly-held 
shares of Fleet's majority-owned subsidiary, Fleet Mortgage Group, Inc. 
("FMG"), each of which were or will be accounted for by the purchase method
of accounting, in each case as if such transactions had occurred on 
January 1,1995. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income 
for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, give effect to the Merger as if the 
Merger had occurred on January 1, 1994, and does not take into account the 
effect of the Northeast Merger, the NBB Merger, the Plaza Merger, the Barclays
Acquisition and the FMG Repurchase since such transactions were or will be 
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

         The pro forma information is based on the historical consolidated
financial statements of Fleet, Shawmut, Northeast, NBB, Plaza, Barclays and FMG
and their subsidiaries under the assumptions and adjustments set forth in the
accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Statements. The pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give
effect to the anticipated cost savings in connection with the Merger, the
Northeast Merger, the NBB Merger and the Plaza Merger or the effects of any
required regulatory divestitures.

         The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated historical financial statements of
Fleet and Shawmut, including the respective notes thereto. The pro forma data is
presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the
combined financial position or results of operations in the future or of the
combined financial position or results of operations which would have been
realized had the acquisitions been consummated during the period or as of the
dates for which the pro forma data is presented.

         Pro forma per share amounts for the combined Fleet and Shawmut entity
are based on the Common Exchange Ratio of 0.8922 shares of Fleet Common Stock
for each share of Shawmut Common Stock. In addition, the pro forma data assumes
the issuance of approximately 6,165,912 shares of Fleet Common Stock in the NBB
Merger, an exchange ratio of 0.415 shares of Shawmut Common Stock for each
outstanding share and stock option of Northeast, calculated as set forth in the
Shawmut/Northeast merger agreement, assuming for illustrative purposes only,
that the average closing price of Shawmut Common Stock used to determine such
exchange ratio is $27.625, the closing price of the Shawmut Common Stock on May
12, 1995.

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (a) The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations or the combined financial position that would have
resulted had the Merger, the Northeast Merger, the NBB Merger, the Plaza Merger,
the Barclays Acquisition and the FMG Repurchase been consummated at the
beginning of the periods indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the
results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the
combined entities. The NBB Merger was consummated on January 27, 1995, the
Barclays Acquisition was consummated on January 31, 1995, the Plaza Merger was
consummated on March 3, 1995 and the FMG Repurchase was consummated on February
28, 1995 with the follow-up merger consummated on April 30, 1995. It is 
anticipated that the Merger will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 1995 
and the Northeast Merger will be consummated in the second quarter of 1995.

              Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the
assets and liabilities of Shawmut will be combined with those of Fleet at book
value. In addition, the statements of income of Shawmut will be combined with
the statements of income of Fleet as of the earliest period presented. Certain
reclassifications have been included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Balance Sheet and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of
Income to conform to Fleet's presentation. Certain transactions conducted in the
ordinary course of business between Fleet, Shawmut, Northeast, NBB, Barclays,
Plaza and FMG are immaterial and, accordingly, have not been eliminated.

              The pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give
effect to the anticipated cost savings in connection with the Merger and the
Northeast Merger or the effects of any required regulatory divestitures. While
no assurance can be given, Fleet and Shawmut expect to achieve cost savings of
approximately $400 million (pre-tax) within fifteen months following the Merger.
Such cost savings are expected to be realized primarily through reductions in
staff, elimination, consolidation or divestiture of certain branches and the
consolidation of certain offices, data processing and other redundant
back-office operations and staff functions. Cost reductions and branch
consolidations will come from both companies and will be spread throughout the
geographic region. Cost savings are also expected to be achieved in connection
with the Northeast Merger, the NBB Merger and the Plaza Merger. These cost
savings are expected to be approximately $25 million, $20 million and $15
million, respectively, and are expected to be achieved within the first twelve
months after the consummation of these respective mergers. The extent to which
cost savings will be achieved is dependent upon various factors beyond the
control of Fleet and Shawmut, including the regulatory environment, economic
conditions, unanticipated changes in business conditions, inflation and the
level of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments. Therefore, no
assurances can be given with respect to the ultimate level of cost savings to be
realized, or that such savings will be realized in the time-frame currently
anticipated. In addition, certain regulatory agencies may seek the divestiture
of certain assets and liabilities of the combined company following the Merger.
Such divestitures may affect certain pro forma combined financial statement
amounts, merger and restructuring costs and cost savings.

              All dollar amounts included in these Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements are in thousands unless otherwise
indicated.

         (b) Pro forma adjustments reflect the impact of the NBB Merger, the
Plaza Merger and the FMG Repurchase which were consummated on January 27, 1995,
March 3, 1995, and February 28, 1995, respectively, as if such transactions had 
been consummated on January 1, 1995.

         (c) Pro forma adjustments reflect the impact of the Barclays
Acquisition, which was consummated on January 31, 1995, as if it had been 
consummated on January 1, 1995.

         (d) Fleet is currently reviewing the investment securities portfolios
of Shawmut and Northeast to determine the classification of such securities as
either available for sale or held to maturity in connection with Fleet's
existing interest-rate risk position. As a result of this review, certain
reclassifications of Shawmut and Northeast investment securities may result. No
adjustments have been made to either the available for sale or the held to
maturity portfolios in the accompanying pro forma combined balance sheet to
reflect any such reclassification as management has not made a final
determination with respect to such matters. Any such


<PAGE>   10

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

reclassification will be accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities," which requires that securities transferred from held to
maturity to available for sale be transferred at fair value with any unrealized
gain or loss, net of taxes, at the date of transfer recognized as a separate
component of stockholders' equity. At March 31, 1995, securities held to
maturity at Shawmut and Northeast had unrealized losses of $248,544 and $49,315,
respectively.

         (e) Pro forma adjustments to common shares and common surplus at March
31, 1995, reflect the Merger accounted for as a pooling of interests, through:
(a) the exchange of 109,619,746 shares of Fleet Common Stock (using the Common
Exchange Ratio of 0.8922) for the 122,864,544 outstanding shares of Shawmut
Common Stock at March 31, 1995 (which includes the 6,563,760 shares of Shawmut
Common Stock issued to acquire all the outstanding shares of Northeast common
stock and stock options and excludes the 5,811,900 shares of Shawmut Common
Stock held by Fleet as of such date, which are assumed to be retired for
combining purposes), and (b) the exchange of shares of Fleet New Preferred Stock
for all shares of Shawmut Preferred on a share-for-share basis.

         (f) Pro forma adjustments to securities available for sale at March 31,
1995, and to dividend income on securities for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
reflect the elimination of 5,811,900 shares of Shawmut Common Stock held by
Fleet at March 31, 1995, and the corresponding dividend income recorded on such
shares. Pro forma adjustments to other assets and accrued expenses and other
liabilities at March 31, 1995, include the elimination of Fleet's dividend
receivable related to such shares and the elimination of Shawmut's corresponding
dividend payable. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet also
eliminates the after-tax unrealized gain on these securities recorded in equity
and the related deferred tax expense.

         (g) A liability of $400,000 ($363,147 net of the $36,853 charge taken
by Shawmut in the first quarter of 1995) has been recorded in the Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet to reflect management's best estimate of
merger and restructuring related charges in connection with the Merger. This
liability resulted in a $240,000 after-tax charge ($217,888 net of the after-tax
impact of the charge recorded by Shawmut in the first quarter of 1995) to
retained earnings in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet.
It is anticipated that substantially all of these charges will be paid during
the first 15 months subsequent to the Merger. During the first quarter of 1995
Shawmut recognized $36,853 of this charge due to the settlement of certain of
Shawmut's retirement benefits as a result of the execution of Shawmut's
agreement to merge with Fleet. This charge has been eliminated from the pro
forma income statement due to the nonrecurring nature of the charge. The
following table provides details of the estimated charges by type:

</TABLE>

              Personnel related costs consist primarily of charges related to
employee severance, termination of certain employee benefits plans and employee
assistance costs for separated employees. Facilities and equipment charges
consist of lease termination costs and other facilities related exit costs
resulting from consolidation of duplicate headquarters and operational
facilities, and computer equipment and software write-offs due to duplication or
incompatibility. Branch related costs are primarily related to the cost of
exiting branches anticipated to be closed, including lease terminations and
equipment write-offs. The effect of the proposed charge has been reflected in
the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1995;
however, since the proposed charge is nonrecurring, it has not been reflected in
the pro forma combined statements of income.

              Adjustments have been made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Balance Sheet to reflect the recording of the intangible as calculated
above in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. Reflected in the
1995 Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement is an adjustment to
reflect the amortization of Northeast's excess cost over net assets of
subsidiaries acquired ("goodwill") over 15 years.

         (k) The pro forma stockholders' equity accounts of Northeast have been
adjusted in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet to reflect
the elimination of the stockholders' equity accounts in accordance with the
purchase method of accounting. The Shawmut Pro Forma adjustments reflect the
issuance of 6,563,760 shares of Shawmut Common Stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding shares of Northeast common stock and stock options (assuming that
the exchange ratio in connection with the Northeast Merger is 0.415 which is
based on the closing sales price for Shawmut Common Stock on the Stock Exchange
on May 12, 1995).

         (l) The Fleet Pro Forma weighted average shares outstanding for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, reflect Fleet's historical weighted average shares
outstanding plus the one month effect of the issuance of 6,165,912 shares of
Fleet Common Stock in connection with the NBB Merger as if such Merger occurred
on January 1, 1995. The Shawmut Pro Forma weighted average shares outstanding
for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 reflect Shawmut's historical weighted
average shares outstanding plus the issuance of 6,563,760 shares of Shawmut
Common Stock in connection with the Northeast Merger as if such Merger occurred
on January 1, 1995. The Fleet/Shawmut Pro Forma weighted average shares
outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 reflect the Fleet Pro Forma
weighted average shares plus the converted Shawmut Pro Forma weighted average
shares outstanding (after adjustment to eliminate the 5,811,900 shares of
Shawmut Common Stock owned by Fleet, which are assumed to be retired for
combining purposes). Each share of Shawmut Common Stock is converted into 0.8922
shares of Fleet Common Stock.

         (m) The Fleet/Shawmut Pro Forma net income applicable to common shares
reflects the sum of the Fleet Pro Forma net income applicable per common share
and the Shawmut Pro Forma net income applicable per common shares adjusted for
any Fleet/Shawmut Pro Forma adjustments.
