                          FLEET FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
              CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 1995



NOTE 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The unaudited consolidated financial information included herein has been
prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and practices in Fleet
Financial Group, Inc.'s ("Fleet, FFG or the Corporation") consolidated financial
statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1994. The accompanying
interim consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited.
However, in the opinion of the Corporation, all adjustments consisting of normal
recurring items necessary for a fair statement of the operating results for the
periods shown, have been made. The results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 may not be indicative of operating results for the year
ending December 31, 1995. Certain prior year and prior quarter amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current classifications.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

      On February 20, 1995, Fleet and Shawmut National Corporation ("Shawmut")
entered into a definitive merger agreement providing for the merger of Shawmut
with and into Fleet. The combined institution is expected to have in excess of 
$80 billion in assets, $50 billion in deposits, and will be headquartered in 
Boston, Massachusetts. The merger agreement provides that each share of Shawmut
common stock, other than shares held in Shawmut's treasury or directly or 
indirectly by Fleet or its subsidiaries or by Shawmut or its subsidiaries 
(except for in both cases shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in respect of 
debts previously contracted), would be exchanged for 0.8922 newly issued 
shares of Fleet common stock on a tax-free basis. It is anticipated that the 
transaction will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. As a result of 
the merger, cost savings of approximately $400 million 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. 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. Fleet and Shawmut expect to incur one-time merger expenses and 
restructuring charges aggregating approximately $400 million in connection 
with the merger. During the first six months of 1995, Shawmut recognized 
$50,441 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 and the vesting of certain restricted stock upon shareholder 
approval of the Merger. The merger is expected to be completed in the fourth 
quarter of 1995 and is subject to certain conditions, including the approval 
of federal and state bank regulators. The shareholders of both companies have 
approved the merger.

      Due to the pending merger with Shawmut, certain financial data herein may
not be indicative of Fleet's future results of operations or financial position.

      As previously disclosed in Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Corporation
completed the purchases of NBB Bancorp, Inc. ("NBB"), Plaza Home Mortgage
Corporation ("Plaza") and the repurchase of the 19% publicly-held shares of
Fleet Mortgage Group, Inc., ("FMG") during the first quarter of 1995.

                                 June 30, 1995


      The information below presents, on a pro forma basis, certain historical
financial information for the Corporation, adjusted for each of the NBB, Plaza
and FMG transactions as if such transactions had been consummated on January 1,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

Net income per common share                  $ 2.06 $ 1.69
- -------------------------------------------------------------

      The pro forma results reflect the sale of NBB's entire securities
portfolio of approximately $1 billion as if such sales had occurred at the
beginning of each such period, elimination of any corresponding interest income
recognized on these securities, and the use of the proceeds from the sale of
these securities to reduce short-term borrowings and related interest expense
using a cost of funds rate of 5.44% and 4.41 % for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Similarly, the pro forma results reflect the sale of $157 million, $230 million
and $18 million of Plaza's mortgage-backed securities, adjustable-rate loans,
and deposits, respectively, as if such sales had occurred at the beginning of
each such period, the elimination of any corresponding interest income or
expense recognized, and the use of the net proceeds from these sales to reduce
short-term borrowings and related interest expense using a cost of funds rate of
5.98% and 3.73% for 1995 and 1994, respectively. Pro forma results reflect the
amortization of adjustments recorded to reflect the fair value of the net assets
acquired as of the date of acquisition and any related amortization, as if the
adjustments were recorded at the beginning of the period. Additional funding
costs for the purchase prices of the acquisitions of NBB, Plaza and the 19%
publicly-held shares of FMG have also been reflected in the pro forma results.

NOTE 3. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

      In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights" (SFAS 122). SFAS 122 requires that an entity recognize, as
separate assets, rights to service mortgage loans for others irrespective
of how those servicing rights are acquired (i.e., whether purchased or 
originated) by allocating the total cost of the loans between the loan and the 
servicing rights thereto based on their relative fair values. The Corporation 
adopted this statement as of April 1, 1995, with application to transactions 
in which the Corporation acquires mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) through 
either purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells those loans with 
servicing rights retained, and to impairment evaluations of all capitalized 
MSRs. The incremental impact of capitalizing originated mortgage servicing 
rights in accordance with SFAS 122 resulted in an increase of $9.0 million in 
mortgage production revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

      SFAS 122 requires that capitalized mortgage servicing rights be assessed
for impairment based upon the fair value of those rights. Fair value is
estimated using a valuation model which considers market consensus loan
prepayment predictions, historic prepayment rates, mortgage interest rates, and
other economic factors. For purposes of impairment evaluation and measurement,
MSRs are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the
underlying loans which for the Corporation's MSRs, includes ranges of interest
rates within product types. To the extent that the carrying value of MSRs
exceeds fair value by individual stratum, a valuation allowance is established.
The allowance may be adjusted in the future as MSR values increase or decrease.
The cost of MSRs is amortized over the estimated period of net servicing
revenues.

establishment of the $11.4 million impairment reserve. At June 30, 1995 the
aggregate fair value of the Corporation's MSRs was approximately $1.4 billion.

NOTE 4. LONG TERM DEBT

     During the first six months of 1995, the Corporation issued $119 million of
its senior medium-term notes, all of which are due in 1996 and $250 million of 7
1/8% senior notes due May 1, 2000. The Corporation intends to use the proceeds

   (a)   Prepared on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis.  The
         FTE adjustment included in net interest income was $10 million
         for each of the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, and 
         $20  million and $19 million for the six months ended
         June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

      Fleet reported net income of $172 million, or $1.05 per fully diluted
share, for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, compared to $148 million, or $0.90
per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of 1994. The Corporation's first
half of 1995 net income was $336 million, or $2.06 per share, compared with $284
million, or $1.69 per share in the first half of 1994. Return on average assets
and return on equity improved to 1.41% and 18.56% for the second quarter of
1995, from 1.22% and 18.31% for the second quarter of 1994, respectively. These
improved results reflect a stronger net interest margin, an increase in mortgage
banking revenue, continued expense control, steady loan growth as well as
increased revenues from the NBB, Plaza and FMG acquisitions consummated in the
first quarter of 1995, partially offset by an increase in mortgage servicing
rights amortization and provision for credit losses.

increased funding costs resulting from rising deposit costs coupled with a $1.0
billion decrease in interest-free sources of funds.

      The net interest margin for the second quarter of 1995 increased 7 basis
points to 4.73% from the second quarter of 1994, primarily due to a reduction in
the securities portfolio as a result of actions taken during the last half of
1994 and an increase in higher yielding average loans outstanding, due to both
acquisitions and growth. These actions, coupled with numerous increases in the
Corporation's prime lending rate over the past year resulted in an increase in
the yield on interest earning assets from 7.50% in the second quarter of 

                                       11

1994 to 8.74% in the second quarter of 1995. Offsetting these increases was the
overall increase in the cost of funds resulting from customers moving into
higher yielding time deposits coupled with the impact of the numerous increases
in short-term borrowing rates by the Federal Reserve throughout 1994 and again
in the first quarter of 1995.

(a) Average maturity relates to debt securities only and is calculated using

(b) Relates to debt securities only.

      The average balance of securities decreased from $16.5 billion for the
second quarter of 1994 to $11.5 billion for the same period of 1995. This $5.0
billion decrease reflects the Corporation's repositioning program unveiled
during 1994.

      Average loans and leases increased $3.4 billion to $29.7 billion for the
second quarter of 1995 due primarily to the acquisition of NBB which added
approximately $1.3 billion in loans to Fleet's balance sheet, as well as steady
loan growth. The substantial increase in the yield on loans and leases from
8.55% for the second quarter of 1994 to 9.71% for the second quarter of 1995
reflects the increase in Fleet's prime lending rate to 9.00% during the period.
The Corporation lowered its prime lending rate to 8.75% at the beginning of the
third quarter of 1995.

      Average deposits increased $900 million to $26.2 billion for the second
quarter of 1995 due to a $2.5 billion increase in time deposits offset by a $1.6
billion decrease in savings deposits. The net interest rate paid on average
deposits rose to 4.05% for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 2.77% for the
same period of 1994. The increase reflects several factors including a more
competitive environment for customer deposits and a shift in mix of deposits as
customers have migrated to higher yielding time deposits.

      The $1.5 billion decrease in average short-term borrowings corresponds to
the decrease in average securities and the decrease in average mortgages held
for resale.

      Average long-term debt increased $446 million due to the funding of
acquisitions and loan growth. In addition, the interest rate paid on long-term
debt increased 79 basis points as maturing lower-rate long-term debt was
replaced by new issuances of higher rate debt.

      The contribution to the net interest margin of interest free sources
during the second quarter of 1995 was 63 basis points compared to 51 basis
points for the second quarter of 1994. This increase is the result of the
increase in cost of funds as interest-free sources of funds become more valuable
during periods of rising interest rates offset by a decrease in the balances of
the interest-free sources of funds from $6.9 billion to $5.8 billion.

$669 million for the first half of 1995 compared to $565 million for the first
half of 1994. The increase was due primarily to increases in mortgage banking
revenues, service charges, fees and commissions, and trading revenues.

                         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

$84 million recorded in the same period of 1994 reflecting a $20 million
increase in mortgage production revenue coupled with a 35% increase in loan
servicing revenue from $62 million in the second quarter of 1994 to $84 million
in the second quarter of 1995 and a $5 million increase in gains on sales of
servicing. Mortgage production revenue which includes income derived from the
loan origination process and net gains on sales of mortgage loans has been
positively impacted by a more favorable interest-rate environment in the second
quarter of 1995. Mortgage production revenue of $25 million includes $9 million
of income from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights". Loan servicing revenue
represents fees received for servicing residential mortgage loans. The 35%
increase in loan servicing revenue is attributable to the $30 billion increase
in the Corporation's servicing portfolio from $73 billion at June 30, 1994 to
$103 billion at June 30, 1995. The increase in the servicing portfolio is
attributable primarily to several acquisitions of servicing, including the
purchase of $14 billion of loan servicing from Household Services in the second
quarter and the acquisition of Plaza in the first quarter which added $9.2
billion in servicing. The Corporation sold mortgage servicing of approximately
$2.0 billion and $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 1995 and 1994,
respectively, resulting in pre-tax gains of $22 million and $17 million,
respectively. The Corporation's decision to sell any mortgage servicing rights
depends on a variety of factors, including the available markets and current
market prices for such servicing rights and the working capital requirements of
the Corporation. Thus, the likelihood or profitability of any such sales in the
future cannot be predicted.

      Service charges, fees and commissions increased $13 million to $75 million
for the second quarter of 1995 from $62 million for the second quarter of 1994.
These improved results primarily reflect the implementation of various fee
enhancement programs.

      Investment services revenue increased $3 million, or 7%, from the
second quarter of 1994, due to the strengthening interest rate environment and
improvement in the bond market which resulted in an increase in the overall
value of assets managed. The investment services business had approximately $46
billion and $43 billion in assets under administration and management at June 
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

      The $3 million increase in student loan servicing fees from 1994 to 1995
is attributable to additional accounts added under the federal government's
direct student lending program. FDIC loan administration fees decreased $4
million from $11 million for the second quarter of 1994 to $7 million for the
second quarter of 1995, as the pool of loans being administered for the FDIC is
being resolved.

      The $24 million increase in total trading revenue for the second quarter
of 1995 over the same period of 1994 is primarily attributable to a $25 million
increase in gains on interest-rate contracts. Trading income on interest-rate
contracts consists of gains and losses recorded on interest-rate contracts used
in managing prepayment risk for the mortgage servicing portfolio as well as net
gains recorded on customer-oriented interest-rate contracts. The $25 million
increase in interest-rate contracts revenue is primarily due to increases in the
value of contracts used in managing the prepayment risk for the mortgage
servicing portfolio.

      Other noninterest income increased $22 million from $23 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1994 compared to $45 million for the same period of
1995, primarily due to $6.2 million of income from tax processing services,
coupled with an $8.1 million increase in revenues related to gains on equity
capital investments.

- ----------------------------------------------------------

      Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1995 totaled $549 million
compared to $504 million for the second quarter of 1994. The increase is
primarily attributable to a $25 million increase in the amortization of mortgage
servicing rights (MSRs) coupled with increases in several other expense
categories, including amortization of intangibles, as a result of the completion
of the acquisitions of NBB and Plaza in the first quarter of 1995 and the
buyback of the FMG minority interest. Additionally, expenses included the costs
of several new business initiatives, such as direct student loan originations,
co-branded credit card marketing expenses and the high second quarter volume 
requirements of tax processing services. The Corporation's efficiency ratio 
improved to 63.1% for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 64.7% for the 
same period in 1994.

      Employee compensation and benefits increased $5 million, or 2%, primarily
due to the previously mentioned acquisitions and new business initiatives
including tax processing services which had high volume requirements during the
second quarter.

      Mortgage servicing rights amortization increased $25 million to $46
million for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $21 million for the second
quarter of 1994. As previously stated, the increase in amortization is directly
related to the $30 billion increase in the servicing portfolio over June 30,
1994. In addition, the second quarter of 1995 includes the establishment of an
$11.4 million impairment reserve.

      Core deposit and goodwill amortization expense increased $6 million on a
year to year comparison over the second quarter of 1994 due to the completion of
the NBB, Plaza and FMG transactions during the first quarter of 1995. OREO
expense decreased $3 million from the second quarter of 1994 compared to the
second quarter of 1995 reflecting a decrease in the level of OREO assets
managed.

      The following table presents a summary of activity with respect to the
Corporation's restructuring charges for the six month periods ended June 30,
1995 and 1994.

      The cash outlays made during the first six months of 1995 relate primarily
to severance costs. The Corporation's liquidity has not been affected by these 
cash outlays. During the first six months of 1995, $10.5 million of incremental
costs has been incurred relating to the restructuring plan and has not been 
charged against the restructuring accrual. It is anticipated that approximately
$10 million of additional incremental costs will be incurred in 1995. The 
Corporation expects that the remaining accrual balance of $24 million at June 
30, 1995 will be sufficient to absorb the remaining restructuring related costs.

INCOME TAXES

      For the second quarter of 1995, the Corporation recognized income tax
expense of $111 million, an effective tax rate of 39.2%. Tax expense for the
same period of 1994 was $106 million, an effective tax rate of 41.4%.

      The Banking Group generated $148 million in earnings for the second
quarter of 1995 and 1994. These results reflect a $9 million (after-tax)
increase in provision for credit losses resulting from a $27 million increase in
net charge-offs in the second quarter of 1995. This increase includes $7 
million of net charge-offs taken as part of a small commercial real estate loan
bulk sale. These results also reflect the completion of the acquisition of NBB 
in late January. The Banking Group benefited from an increase in fee-based 
revenues which was attributable to the implementation of various fee-producing 
programs initiated as part of Fleet's efficiency improvement programs, offset 
by a decrease in net interest income and security gains from the second quarter
of 1994 to the second quarter of 1995. Security gains totalled $6.1 million in 
1994 (after tax) compared to $2.2 million in 1995. This group's nonperforming 
assets increased $44 million, or 13%, from December 31, 1994, to $391 million 
due largely to the acquisition of NBB.

      The Financial Services Group's earnings increased $32 million from $12
million for the second quarter of 1994 to $44 million in the second quarter of
1995. Fleet Mortgage, the Corporation's mortgage banking subsidiary, contributed
$30 million to Fleet's earnings for the quarter compared to earnings of $9
million in the second quarter of 1994. The improved results reflect both
increased loan servicing and mortgage banking production revenue, reduced
operating expenses, and a pretax gain of $26 million related to interest rate
products used to hedge the value of mortgage servicing assets compared to a
pretax gain on such products of $1 million in the prior year's quarter. Mortgage
servicing rights amortization increased $25 million due to the increase in the
size of the mortgage servicing portfolio and accelerated amortization of MSRs
necessitated by an increase in mortgage prepayments during the quarter. Refer to
the Noninterest Income section and the Noninterest Expense section for more
information on mortgage banking revenue and MSRs, respectively.

      Fleet Credit reported net income of $8 million for the second quarter of
1995, a $2 million increase over the $6 million of net income reported in the
second quarter of 1994, reflecting an increase in lease volume.

      Fleet Finance recognized a loss of $2 million for the second quarter of
1995 compared to a loss of $3 million in the second quarter of 1994. The
decreased loss was primarily the result of a decrease in credit quality related
expenses.

      Earnings at Fleet's other financial services companies, which include the
Corporation's equity capital, student loan servicing, brokerage, and government
securities businesses, increased $7 million.

      Fleet Private Equity had net income of $2 million for the second quarter
of 1995, compared to a loss of $2 million for the second quarter of 1994.
Results for the second quarter of 1995 included $6 million (pretax) of gains on
equity capital investments compared to a loss of $2 million (pretax) for the
same period in 1994.

      AFSA Data Corp., the Corporation's student loan servicing subsidiary,
contributed earnings of $2 million for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $1
million for the same period in 1994. This increase reflects an increase in loans
serviced related to AFSA being named the primary servicer of the federal
government's direct student lending program late in 1994.

      Option One, which was acquired in connection with the acquisition of Plaza
in the first quarter of 1995, earned $2 million in the second quarter of 1995.

     Fleet Brokerage Securities, the Corporation's brokerage subsidiary, and
Fleet Securities, the Corporation's government securities subsidiary, each
earned $1 million for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994.

Lines of Business

      The financial performance of the Corporation is monitored by an internal
profitability measurement system, which produces line-of-business results and
key performance measures. The Corporation's major business units include
commercial banking, consumer banking, investment services and asset collection,
and financial, which also reflects the organizational structure of the
Corporation.

      Guidelines are in place for assigning expenses that are not directly
incurred by businesses, such as overhead, operations, and technology expense.
Additionally, equity, loan loss provision, and loan loss reserves are assigned
on an economic basis. The Corporation has developed a risk-adjusted methodology
that quantifies risk types as credit, operating, market, fiduciary, etc., within
business units and assigns capital accordingly. Credit risk is quantified using
a risk grading system, which is applied consistently across the company. Within
each unit assets and liabilities are "match funded" utilizing similar maturity,
liquidity, and repricing information. All businesses are evaluated on a fully
taxed basis.

      Management reporting concepts are periodically refined and results may be
restated from time to time to reflect methodological enhancements and/or
management organization changes. Although valuable in managing the enterprise,
no authoritative guidance exists for management accounting, therefore, reported
results are not necessarily comparable with other companies' reported results.

Commercial Banking

      Commercial banking, which provides a full range of financial services to
corporate, commercial, governmental, real estate and leasing customers earned
$52 million of net income during the second quarter of 1995. This represented a
19% improvement over the second quarter of 1994. In spite of rising interest
rates, net revenue growth was achieved by loan growth of 10%, deposit growth of
2.5% and additional processing services provided to government clients. The 
business also benefited from higher transaction fees and repayments on 
acquired loans in excess of the balance to which such loans had been 
written-down upon acquisition. The commercial banking line of business 
generated an ROA of 1.31% and an ROE of 24.30% for the three months ended 
June 30, 1995.

Consumer Banking

      Consumer banking, which includes retail and community banking, consumer
financing and the Corporation's major processing businesses, mortgage banking
and student loan servicing, achieved $92 million or 53% of consolidated net
income for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This represents an increase of
48% from the three months ended June 30, 1994. This line of business had an 
ROA of 2.03% and an ROE of 21.99% for the period.

      The retail and community banking segment, which represents the largest
portion of Fleet's consumer banking business, had net income of $59 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1995 compared to $55 million in the second quarter of
1994. This increase was primarily attributable to higher net interest revenue,
mainly caused by growth in the loan portfolio. Credit card outstandings grew
nearly 50% from the second quarter of 1994 while consumer mortgages, largely
attributable to acquisition programs, increased at a similar rate. Small
business lending also contributed significantly to loan growth driven primarily
by the introduction of new loan products uniquely tailored to this customer
segment.

      Fleet's mortgage banking operations contributed $31 million, or 33% of
total consumer banking net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
which is $22 million higher than the second quarter of 1994. These improved
results reflect the $30 billion increase in the servicing portfolio, increased
mortgage production income and gains in sales of servicing.

      The consumer finance business had income of $1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995, compared to a loss of $(3) million for the three
months ended June 30, 1994. These positive results reflect the first quarter
acquisition of Option One which contributed $2 million during the second quarter
of 1995.

Investment Services and Asset Collection

        This line of business, which includes Fleet's investment management,
private banking, discount brokerage, equity capital, and asset collection
businesses, produced $19 million, or 11% of consolidated net income for the
second quarter of 1995, compared to $12 million for the second quarter of 1994.
The second quarter of 1994 included a $3 million post-tax charge relating to the
sale of certain short-to-intermediate-term instruments held in three proprietary
money market funds, with the proceeds reinvested in instruments considered more
appropriate for these types of funds. Excluding the $3 million charge, the $4
million earnings increase is principally attributable to improvements in the
market value of investments in the Corporation's equity capital line of
business, coupled with increased fee income from investment services due to the
strengthening interest rate environment and improvement in the equity and bond
markets, offset by a decrease in FDIC loan administration fees as the pool of
loans being administered for the FDIC is being resolved. This line of business
had an ROA of 5.06% and an ROE of 38.06% for the period.

      Fleet's investment management business consists of personal asset
management, endowment and custody services, employee benefit management, and
mutual funds. At June 30, 1995, the investment services business had
approximately $46 billion in assets under administration and management.

Financial

      The financial line of business includes the results of the treasury and
the securities portfolio and trading groups. The financial function also
includes differences between legal and economic allocations of loan losses and
equity to the individual lines of business.

      The financial line of business generated net income of $9 million, or 5%
of consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared to
$30 million for the three months ended June 30, 1994. The $21 million decrease
is primarily attributable to a reduction in securities gains coupled with a
higher level of legal loan loss provision.

      The amortized cost of securities available for sale remained relatively
unchanged from March 31, 1995 to June 30, 1995. The Corporation sold
approximately $2.5 billion of U.S. Treasury Notes and $1.5 billion of
mortgage-backed securities during the second quarter of 1995 and reinvested such
proceeds in shorter-term government agencies securities. The Corporation does
not anticipate any significant negative impact to its net interest margin
resulting from these transactions. The valuation reserve on securities available
for sale improved significantly to an unrealized appreciation level of $59
million at June 30, 1995 from an unrealized depreciation level of $(208) million
at March 31, 1995, due to significant improvements in the bond markets during
the second quarter of 1995.

      Commercial and industrial (C&I) loans increased $403 million, or 14% on an
annualized basis, due primarily to new loan originations experienced across all
banking franchises.

      Consumer loans of $7,996 million at June 30, 1995 remained relatively
unchanged compared to the $7,992 at March 31, 1995.

      Credit card loans increased $85 million from March 31, 1995, to June 30,
1995 due to new originations and several special promotions including a credit
card with no annual fee which benefits the Special Olympics based upon Fleet
contributing a specified percentage of credit card purchases. Fleet also added
Gulf Oil to its family of co-branded credit cards during the quarter.

      Commercial real estate (CRE) loans decreased $230 million from March 31,
1995 to June 30, 1995 primarily due to large paydowns during the quarter and
lease financing increased $174 million from March 31, 1995 to June 30, 1995 as a
result of new lease originations.

      Outstanding residential real estate loans secured by one-to four-family
residences were $4.4 billion at June 30, 1995, compared to $4.2 billion at March
31, 1995. The $200 million increase was due to $343 million of residential real
estate loan purchases offset by principal paydowns occurring in the normal
course of business.

(a) Throughout this document, NPAs and related ratios do not include loans
    greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest ($135 million,
    $114 million and $96 million at June 30, 1995, March 31, 1995 and 
    December 31, 1994, respectively), or assets subject to federal financial
    assistance ($47 million, $55 million and $59 million at June 30, 1995, 
    March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively).

      Nonperforming assets (NPAs) remained consistent over the period from March
31, 1995 to June 30, 1995. During the quarter, $18 million of nonperforming
loans were sold as part of a small commercial real estate loan bulk sale which
resulted in an additional $7 million of charge-offs. NPAs at June 30, 1995, as a
percentage of total loans, leases and OREO, and as a percentage of total assets
were 1.92% and 1.13%, respectively, compared to 1.95% and 1.21%, respectively,
at March 31, 1995.

      Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted FASB Statement No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No.
118. Under this standard, a loan is impaired when it is probable that the
Corporation will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms
of the loan agreement. Certain loans are exempt from the provisions of Statement
No. 114 including large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that are
collectively evaluated for impairment, such as consumer and residential mortgage
loans. At June 30, 1995, the Corporation had approximately $281 million of
impaired loans, substantially all of which were on nonaccrual status, and a
related impairment reserve of $42 million.

      Fleet's reserve for credit losses decreased $26 million from June 30, 1994
to $951 million at June 30, 1995. The June 30, 1995 reserve for credit losses
includes $31 million of reserves acquired in connection with acquisitions
completed during the first quarter of 1995. The first six months of 1995
provision for credit losses was $48 million, $14 million higher than the prior
year's first six months. Net charge-offs increased to $81 million for the first
six months of 1995 from $53 million for the same period in 1994 due to a $12
million decrease in recoveries and a $16 million increase in charge-offs of
which $7 million was related to the aforementioned bulk sale of small commercial
real estate loans. Slight deterioration of Fleet's credit quality ratios was
noted when comparing the first six months of 1995 results to the same period of
1994 as nonperforming asset levels have increased over that period.

      Total deposits remained relatively consistent from March 31, 1995 to June
30, 1995. Demand deposits increased $299 million from March 31, 1995 to June 30,
1995 which was fully offset by a $313 million decrease in domestic time deposits
primarily due to a more competitive environment for time deposits.

      Total borrowed funds increased $3.0 billion at June 30, 1995 from March
31, 1995 primarily to fund growth in the Corporation's loan and lease portfolio
and to fund growth in the Corporation's mortgage banking activities. The balance
of notes and debentures increased $182 million primarily due to the issuance of
$250 million of senior notes in May.


ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

      The asset/liability management process at Fleet ensures that the risk to
earnings fluctuations from changes in interest rates is prudently managed.

      The following table represents the Corporation's interest-rate gap
position on June 30, 1995. Interest-rate gap analysis provides a static analysis
of the repricing characteristics of the entire balance sheet. Therefore, the
table represents a one-day position which is continually changing and not
necessarily indicative of the Corporation's position at any other time. In
addition to interest-rate gap analysis, the Corporation also analyzes interest
rate sensitivity through sophisticated asset/liability simulation models.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

      At June 30, 1995, the Corporation was 6.3% asset sensitive at the one-year
cumulative gap interval compared to 3.9% liability sensitive at December 31,
1994. This change is primarily attributable to a reduction in the average
maturity of the securities portfolio from 3.0 years at December 31, 1994 to 1.6
years at June 30, 1995.

      The off-balance sheet position is primarily comprised of interest-rate
swaps. Fleet uses interest-rate swaps to manage interest-rate risk and to
establish the proper interest-rate risk profile within clearly defined 
parameters on the basis of the current interest-rate environment. 
Also, because interest-rate swaps are used to alter the repricing 
characteristics of certain assets and liabilities, the interest-rate 
sensitivity of specific portfolios is analyzed, as well as the impact of 
interest-rate swaps on the entire balance sheet.

      On a consolidated basis, Fleet Financial Group had $7.6 billion (notional
amount) of interest-rate risk management swaps with external counterparties at
June 30, 1995.

</TABLE>

      (a) Basis swaps are interest-rate swaps in which both amounts paid and
          received are based on floating rates. At June 30, 1995, $1,449 million
          of basis swaps have an average rate-receive of 6.93% and an average
          rate-pay of 6.92%. The remaining $783 million of basis swaps have
          forward starts in September, 1995.

      The basis swaps were executed to synthetically alter the interest-rate
characteristics of the GNMA ARMs to more closely match the interest-rate
characteristics of certain liabilities. In these swaps Fleet pays a floating
rate based on the one-year Treasury rate, mirroring coupon payments received on
the GNMA ARMs, and receives a floating rate based on one-year London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR). These swaps were structured to match the repricing
characteristics of the GNMA ARMs.

      Index-amortizing swaps are intended to mitigate the repricing sensitivity
of floating-rate assets and consequently are designated to prime-based loans.
Under the terms of the index-amortizing swaps, Fleet receives a fixed rate and
pays a floating rate based on the six-month LIBOR. Each index-amortizing swap
had an original minimum maturity of two years, a maximum maturity of three
years, and an amortization schedule based on six-month LIBOR. At the end of the
two-year minimum period, and at six-month intervals through the maximum
maturity, six-month LIBOR is reviewed against a specified range, which for Fleet
is 4.46% to 6.46%. If six-month LIBOR is below this range each of the swaps
would completely amortize (i.e., the swaps would mature); if six-month LIBOR is
above this range, none of the swaps would amortize; and if six-month LIBOR is
within this range, a portion of the notional amount would amortize. At June 30,
1995, six-month LIBOR was 6.0%. In June, the two-year minimum period was reached
for some of the swaps, which partially amortized.

      The interest-rate risk management swap activity for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 is summarized in the following table (all amounts are notional
amounts):

      During the second quarter of 1995, the Corporation added $1,663 million of
receive-fixed swaps to hedge prime rate loans and fixed-rate CDs. During the
second quarter of 1995, Fleet terminated $100 million of its basis swaps that
had been executed to synthetically alter the interest-rate characteristics of
the GNMA ARMs to more closely match the interest-rate characteristics of certain
liabilities. These swaps were terminated in connection with the sale of the
underlying assets (i.e., GNMA ARMs). At June 30, 1995, Fleet had deferred gains
relating to the termination of interest rate swaps of $51 million (which will be
amortized over a remaining life of approximately 44 months) and deferred losses
of $27 million (which will be amortized over a remaining life of approximately
13 months). The amortization of deferred gains and losses on terminated swaps is
recognized as an

LIQUIDITY

      The primary sources of liquidity at the parent level are interest and
dividends from subsidiaries and access to the capital and money markets. The
Corporation's subsidiaries rely on cash flows from operations, core deposits,
borrowings, short-term high-quality liquid assets, and in the case of nonbanking
subsidiaries, excluding Fleet Mortgage, funds from the parent for liquidity.
During the first six months of 1995, the parent received $256 million in
interest and dividends from subsidiaries and paid $224 million in interest and
dividends to third parties. Dividends paid by the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries are limited by various regulatory requirements related to capital
adequacy and historic earnings.

      As shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents decreased by $2.7 billion during the six month period ended June 30,
1995. This decrease was primarily due to $1.9 billion of net cash used by
investing activities and $689 million of net cash used by financing activities.
Net cash used by financing activities was primarily due to the net decrease in 
deposits resulting from the liquidation of interest-bearing deposits acquired 
in late 1994 to take advantage of year end arbitrage opportunities, the 
proceeds from which were used to reduce foreign time deposits, and the 
repayments of maturing long-term debt, offset by the issuance of additional 
long-term debt primarily for the acquisition of NBB and Plaza. Net cash used 
by investing activities was primarily due to an increase in loans and leases, 
purchases of acquired servicing rights and loans from third parties, as well 
as cash paid for acquisitions, which more than offset the net proceeds from 
maturities and sales of securities.

      FMG has a separate funding program that includes two revolving-warehouse
credit agreements which totaled $2.20 billion at December 31, 1994. On April 3,
1995, FMG renegotiated these agreements and incorporated the terms of these two
facilities into one credit facility with $1.8 billion of total available funds
at June 30, 1995. FMG has $375 million outstanding under these credit agreements
at June 30, 1995, compared to $500 million at December 31, 1994. FMG also sells
commercial paper to fund short-term needs. During the quarter, FMG filed a shelf
registration providing for the issuance of up to an aggregate of $500 million
of debt securities and warrants to purchase debt securities and issued $200 
million of 6.50% notes due June 15, 2000. During July, FMG issued $100 million 
of medium-term notes with maturities of 3 and 7 years, which reduces the 
amount of funds available under the shelf registration to $200 million.

      At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Corporation had commercial
paper outstanding of $1.7 billion and $835 million, respectively. The
Corporation has backup lines of credit to ensure that funding is not interrupted
if commercial paper is not available. Total amount of funds available under
these agreements was $1.0 billion at June 30, 1995. Fleet had no outstanding
balance under the line of credit.

      Fleet has a universal shelf registration that provides for the issuance of
common and preferred stock, senior or subordinated debt securities, and other
securities with total amount of funds available of approximately $760 million at
June 30, 1995. In January 1995, the Corporation issued $119 million of its
senior medium-term notes, all of which are due in 1996. In May 1995, the
Corporation issued $250 million of 7 1/8% senior notes due May 1, 2000.

      At June 30, 1995, the Corporation exceeded all regulatory required minimum
capital ratios. The Corporation's risk-based regulatory ratios remained
consistent with March 31, 1995. Increases in risk-adjusted assets from March 31,
1995 primarily reflects growth in the Corporation's loan and lease portfolios.
