ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ----------------
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc.
- ------------------------------
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. ("the Corporation") is a publicly-owned,
registered bank holding company, organized in 1984 under the laws of the state
of Rhode Island whose subsidiaries are permitted to engage in banking and other
financial services and businesses.  The Corporation conducts its business
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Washington Trust Company ("the Bank"),
a Rhode Island chartered commercial bank.  The deposits of the Bank are insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

The Corporation was formed in 1984 under a plan of reorganization in which
outstanding common shares of The Washington Trust Company were exchanged for
common shares of Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc.  At December 31, 1993 the
Corporation had total consolidated assets of $487 million, deposits of $423
million and equity capital of $38 million.

The Washington Trust Company
- ----------------------------
The Washington Trust Company was originally chartered in 1800 as the Washington
Bank and is the oldest banking institution headquartered in its market area.
Its current corporate charter dates to 1902.  See "Market Area and Competition"
below for further information.


A broad range of financial services are provided by the Bank, including:

- - Residential mortgages            - Commercial and consumer demand deposits
- - Commercial loans                 - Savings, NOW and money market deposits
- - Construction loans               - Certificates of deposit
- - Installment loans                - Retirement accounts
- - Home equity lines of credit      - Electronic funds transfer
- - VISA and Mastercard accounts     - Safe deposit boxes
- - Merchant credit card services    - Trust and investment services


The Bank's primary source of income is net interest income, the difference
between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on
interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds.  Sources of noninterest
income include fees for management of customer investment portfolios, trusts and
estates, service charges on deposit accounts, merchant processing fees and other
banking-related fees.  Noninterest expenses include the provision for loan
losses, salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment, office supplies
deposit taxes and assessments, foreclosed property costs and other
administrative expenses.

Automated teller machines (ATM's) are located at each of the six banking
offices.  The Bank is a member of the NYCE, Yankee 24, Plus, and Cashstream
ATM networks.


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Data processing for most of the Bank's deposit and loan accounts and other
applications is conducted internally using owned equipment.  Application
software is primarily obtained through purchase or licensing agreements.

The Bank's Trust and Investment Department provides fiduciary services as
trustee under wills and trust agreements; as executor or administrator of
estates; as a provider of agency and custodial investment services to
individuals and institutions; and as a trustee for employee benefit plans.  The
value of total trust assets amounted to $390 million as of December 31, 1993.

The following is a summary of the relative amounts of income producing functions
as a percentage of gross operating income during the past five years:

                                       ====   ====   ====   ====   ====
</TABLE>

The percentage of gross income derived from interest and fees on loans has
fallen to 71% in 1993, down from 77% in 1992 and 80% in 1991, primarily as a
result of declining interest rates.

Market Area and Competition
- ---------------------------
The Bank's market area includes most of southern Rhode Island (Washington
County) and a portion of New London County in southeastern Connecticut.  The
Bank's six banking offices are located in the following Rhode Island
communities:

   - Westerly (2)       - Charlestown       - New Shoreham (Block Island)
   - Richmond           - Narragansett


The Bank's offices in Charlestown and on Block Island are the only bank
facilities in those communities.  No other financial institution has more than
three offices within the Bank's market area.  The Block Island office was
acquired from another Rhode Island bank in 1984.  The Charlestown office was
opened in 1988 and the Narragansett office was opened in 1989.

The Bank faces strong competition from branches of major Rhode Island and
regional commercial banks, local branches of certain Connecticut banks, as well
as various credit unions, savings institutions and, to some extent, finance
companies.  The principal methods of competition are through interest rates,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

financing terms and other customer conveniences.  The Washington Trust Company
had 36% of total deposits held by financial institutions within its market area
as of June 30, 1993.  The three closest competitors held 14%, 14%, and 7% of
total deposits in the market area, respectively.  The Corporation believes that
being the largest commercial banking institution headquartered within the market
area provides a competitive advantage over other financial institutions.  The
Bank has a marketing department which is responsible for the review of existing
products and services and the development of new products and services.


Employees
- ---------
As of December 31, 1993 the Corporation employed approximately 232 full-time and
55 part-time employees.  Management believes that its employee relations are
good.

Supervision and Regulation
- --------------------------
General -  The business in which the Corporation and the Bank are engaged is
subject to extensive supervision, regulation, and examination by various bank
regulatory authorities and other agencies of federal and state government.  The
supervisory and regulatory activities of these parties are often intended
primarily for the protection of depositors or are aimed at carrying out broad
public policy goals that may not be directly related to the financial services
provided by the Corporation and the Bank nor intended for the protection of the
Corporation's shareholders.  Proposals to change regulations and laws which
affect the banking industry are frequently raised at the federal and state
level.  The potential impact on the Corporation of any future revisions to the
supervisory or regulatory structure cannot be determined.

The Corporation and Bank are required by various authorities to file extensive
periodic reports of financial and other information and such other reports as
the regulatory and supervisory authorities may require.  The Corporation is also
subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.

The Corporation is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act").  As a bank holding company, the
activities of the Corporation are regulated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board").  The BHC Act requires that
the Corporation obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to acquire
control over a bank or nonbank entity and restricts the activities of the
Corporation to those related to banking.  In addition, the BHC Act restricts
interstate acquisitions of banks or branching unless specifically authorized by
local law.

Federal law also regulates transactions between the Corporation and its
subsidiary, The Washington Trust Company, including loans or extensions of
credit.  As a state chartered institution, The Washington Trust Company is
subject to various Rhode Island business and banking regulations.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991 (FDICIA) - FDICIA was enacted
in December 1991 and has resulted in extensive changes to the federal banking
laws. One of the primary purposes of the legislation was to recapitalize the
Bank Insurance Fund (BIF).  The FDIC adopted a risk-related premium system for

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

the assessment period beginning January 1, 1993.  Under this new system, each
institution's assessment rate is based on its capital ratios in combination with
a supervisory evaluation of the risk the institution poses to the BIF.  Banks
deemed to be well-capitalized and who pose the lowest risk to the BIF will pay
the lowest assessment rates, while undercapitalized banks, who present the
highest risk, will pay the highest rates.  At December 31, 1993, the Bank's
capital ratios placed it in the well-capitalized category.

FDICIA contains other significant provisions that require the federal banking
regulators to establish standards for safety and soundness for depository
institutions and their holding companies in three areas: (i) operational and
managerial; (ii) asset quality, earnings and stock valuation; and (iii)
management compensation.  The legislation also requires that risk-based capital
requirements contain provisions for interest rate risk, credit risk and risks of
nontraditional activities.  FDICIA imposes numerous restrictions on state-
chartered banks and contains several consumer banking law provisions.

The provisions of FDICIA will phase in over several years.  While final
rules have been issued on numerous provisions, others have yet to be issued.
The full impact of FDICIA will not be known until all of the related regulations
have been adopted by the various federal banking agencies.

Dividend Restrictions -  The Corporation's revenues consist of cash dividends
paid to it by the Bank.  Such payments are restricted pursuant to various state
and federal regulatory limitations.  On February 29, 1994, the Bank's primary
federal regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), agreed to
release the subsidiary bank from a January 1993 board of directors resolution
regarding the payment of dividends and other matters.  The resolution stated
that the subsidiary bank would not pay any dividend to the Corporation unless it
provided advance notification to its regulators and received no reasonable
objection.  The board resolution also required the subsidiary bank to continue
to maintain plans and procedures for the maintenance of asset quality, risk
control and capital adequacy.  The January 1993 resolution had been accepted by
the FDIC pursuant to the termination of a 1991 memorandum of understanding which
required the subsidiary bank to obtain prior regulatory approval for the payment
of dividends to the Corporation.

Reference is made to Note 16 to the Corporation's Consolidated Financial
Statements included in its 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders incorporated
herein by reference for additional discussion of the Corporation's ability to
pay dividends.

Capital Guidelines - Regulatory guidelines have been established that require
bank holding companies and banks to maintain minimum ratios of capital to risk-
adjusted assets.  Banks are required to have minimum core capital (Tier 1) of 4%
and total risk-adjusted capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) of 8%.  For the Corporation,
Tier 1 capital is essentially equal to shareholders' equity while Tier 2 capital
consists of a portion of the reserve for possible loan losses (limited to 1.25%
of total risk-weighted assets).  As of December 31, 1993, net risk-weighted
assets amounted to $324.4 million, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.86% and the
total risk-based capital ratio was approximately 13.12%.

The Tier 1 leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital (as defined under the
risk-based capital guidelines) divided by average assets (net of intangible

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

assets).  The minimum leverage ratio is 3% for banking organizations that do not
anticipate significant growth and that have well-diversified risk (including no
undue interest rate risk), excellent asset quality, high liquidity, and strong
earnings.  Other banking organizations are expected to have ratios of at least
4-5%, depending on their particular condition and growth plans.  Higher capital
ratios could be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk
profile of a given banking organization.  The Corporation's Tier 1 leverage
ratio was 7.84% as of December 31, 1993.  The Federal Reserve has not advised
the Corporation of any specific minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio applicable
to it.


GUIDE 3 STATISTICAL DISCLOSURES
- -------------------------------
The following tables contain additional consolidated statistical data about the
Corporation and its subsidiary.

I.  Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity;
    Interest Rates and Interest Differential
    -------------------------------------------------------------
  A. Average balance sheets are presented on page 27 of the Corporation's 1993
     Annual Report to Shareholders under the caption "Average Balances/Net
     Interest Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)", and are incorporated
     herein by reference.  Nonaccrual loans are included in average loan
     balances.  Average balances are based upon daily averages.

  B. An analysis of net interest earnings, including interest earned and paid,
     average yields and costs, and net yield on interest-earning assets is
     presented on page 27 of the Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to
     Shareholders under the caption "Average Balances/Net Interest Margin (Fully
     Taxable Equivalent Basis)", and is incorporated herein by reference.

     Interest income is reported on the fully taxable-equivalent basis.  Tax
     exempt income is converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis by assuming
     a 34% federal income tax rate adjusted for applicable state income taxes
     net of the related federal tax benefit.  For dividends on corporate stocks,
     the 70% federal dividends received deduction is also used in the
     calculation of tax equivalency.  Interest on nonaccrual loans is included
     in the analysis of net interest earnings to the extent that such interest
     income has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  See
     Guide 3 Item III.C.1.
 
  C. An analysis of rate/volume changes in interest income and interest expense
     is presented on page 28 of the Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to
     Shareholders under the caption "Volume/Rate Analysis - Interest Income and
     Expense (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)", and is incorporated herein by
     reference.  The net change attributable to both volume and rate has been
     allocated proportionately.

    Reference is made to the caption "Asset Quality" included in Management's
    Analysis of Financial Statements on pages 24-26 of the Corporation's 1993
    Annual Report to Shareholders incorporated herein by reference.  Included
    therein is a discussion of the Corporation's credit review and collection
    practices.  Also included therein is information concerning property
    acquired through foreclosure and in-substance foreclosures held at December
    31, 1993 and the Corporation's ongoing efforts to dispose of such
    properties.

  1. Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans.
     (a). Nonaccrual loans as of the dates indicated were as follows:
<TABLE>

      December 31,    1993         1992        1991         1990        1989

                  $11,370,726  $12,563,329  $17,856,390  $16,329,966 $5,226,963
                   ==========   ==========   ==========   ==========  =========
</TABLE>

     Loans, with the exception of credit card loans, are placed on nonaccrual
     status and interest recognition is suspended when such loans are 90 days or
     more overdue with respect to principal and/or interest.  Interest
     previously accrued, but not collected on such loans is reversed against
     current period income.  Subsequent cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are
     applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loan, or recognized as
     interest income, depending on management's assessment of the ultimate
     collectibility of the loan.  Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when
     they have been current as to principal and interest for a period of time,
     the borrower has demonstrated an ability to comply with repayment terms,
     and when, in management's opinion, the loans are considered to be fully
     collectible.

     For the year ended December 31, 1993, the gross interest income that would
     have been recognized if loans on nonaccrual status had been current in
     accordance with their original terms was approximately $1,021,000.
     Interest recognized on these loans amounted to approximately $597,000.

     There were no significant commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers
     whose loans were on nonaccrual at December 31, 1993.


     (b). Loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing for
     the dates indicated were as follows:

     In years prior to 1992, commercial loans were placed on nonaccrual status
     and interest recognition was suspended when they were 90 days or more
     overdue.  Residential mortgages and consumer loans were placed on
     nonaccrual status when in management's judgment, the probability of
     collection was deemed insufficient to warrant further income recognition.

                    =========   =========   =========   =========   =========
</TABLE>

     Restructured accruing loans include those for which concessions, such as
     reduction of interest rates other than normal market rate adjustments or
     deferral of principal or interest payments, have been granted due to a
     borrower's financial condition.  Interest on restructured loans is accrued
     at the reduced rate.  Loans restructured during 1993 amounted to $404,595
     and are included in nonaccrual loans reported in Section III.C.1.(a) above.


  2. Potential Problem Loans.
     The Corporation assesses the quality of its loans by performing ongoing
     reviews of the loans in its portfolio to determine potential loss exposure
     and to assess delinquency trends.  During this review, management gives
     consideration to such factors as overall borrower relationship, delinquency
     trends, credit and collateral quality, prior loss experience, current and
     expected economic conditions, and other pertinent factors.

     Not included in the analysis of nonperforming loans in item 1. above are
     accruing commercial loans amounting to approximately $1.2 million that were
     30-89 days past due at December 31, 1993, including certain loans
     classified as substandard by the subsidiary bank's primary regulator during
     their most recent examination completed in the fourth quarter of 1993.  The
     Corporation's loan policy provides guidelines for the review of such loans
     in order to facilitate collection.

     At December 31, 1993, commercial loans which were contractually current but
     which had been classified as substandard by the subsidiary bank's primary
     regulator amounted to approximately $3.9 million.  The classification of
     these loans is generally attributable to weaknesses in the financial
     condition of borrowers or collateral deficiencies.  These factors are
     considered in management's analysis of credit quality and evaluation of
     collectibility of the loan portfolio.

     At December 31, 1993, approximately 3.2% of total residential mortgage and
     installment loans was 30-89 days past due.  Based on historical experience,
     the delinquency status of some of these loans may be expected to improve as
     a result of collection efforts, while other loans may eventually become
     more seriously delinquent, resulting in some amount of losses.  These
     factors are considered by management in its analysis of credit quality and
     in the evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve for possible loan losses.

     Subsequent to December 31, 1993, approximately $1.1 million of loans 30-89 
     days past due have been reclassified to nonaccrual status.  In addition,
     approximately $1.2 million of loans on nonaccrual status at December 31,
     1993 have been subsequently restored to accruing status.

IV. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE
    -------------------------------
A. The reserve for possible loan losses is available for future credit losses
   inherent in the loan portfolio.  The level of the reserve is based on
   management's ongoing review of the growth and composition of the loan
   portfolio, net charge-off experience, current and expected economic
   conditions, and other pertinent factors.  Loans (or portions thereof) deemed
   to be uncollectible are charged against the reserve and recoveries of amounts
   previously charged to earnings are added to the reserve to bring it to the
   desired level.

   The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

<FN> 
   (1)  Beginning with 1991, the Corporation's practice for allocating loss exposure was refined,
        resulting in a broader allocation of the overall reserve.  Accordingly, portions of the
        unallocated reserve have been redistributed to specific loan categories.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
- ------------------
As of December 31, 1993 the Corporation was operating six facilities including
its main office and five branch banking facilities.  All sites are owned, except
for the Block Island, Rhode Island branch facility, which is leased.  The main
office premises, containing the corporate offices and a banking facility,
consists of a five story building and an adjacent two story building in
Westerly, Rhode Island.  The buildings, which are connected, contain
approximately 50,000 square feet of space, 42,000 square feet of which is
occupied by the Corporation.  The remaining space is leased to merchant and
professional tenants under short-term lease arrangements and could be used for
expansion of the Corporation's offices.  The main office location also contains
a three level retail parking garage with 80,000 square feet of space.

The Corporation has made a substantial investment in branch office facilities
during the past several years.  The Charlestown banking office opened in 1988 in
a newly constructed facility.  The Narragansett banking office began operations
in June 1989 in a building which had been acquired in 1988 and was completely
renovated.  A major renovation and expansion of the Richmond banking office was
completed in January of 1990.  The Richmond site also contains a separate
building operated as a restaurant by a restaurant chain under a long-term lease.

                              Material Contracts


The following is a description of a compensatory plan which provides for
incentive bonuses to executive officers and all other officers of the Registrant
and its subsidiary bank:


Short-Term Incentive Plan
The Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") provides for the payment of
additional cash compensation to officers based on the achievement of target
levels of return on equity and/or the achievement of individual objectives.
Under the Incentive Plan, return on equity is measured against both shareholder
expectations, as established by the Registrant's Board of Directors, and the
performance of a peer group (the "Incentive Plan Peer Group") in order to
provide objective links between performance and pay.  The Incentive Plan Peer
Group was comprised of 28 financial institutions in 1993, of which approximately
60% are located in the Northeast and 40% are located throughout the rest of the
country.  The selection of these institutions was based on certain criteria
including asset size ($250 million to $1 billion), similar operating lines of
business and listing on NASDAQ.  The performance measures for the Incentive Plan
are set at three levels:  threshold - the minimum acceptable return on equity
for which incentives will be paid; target range - the return on equity
established by the Board of Directors; and maximum - performance surpassing
planned objectives.

The target payout for the President is based solely on the return on equity
component.  The target payout for other participants includes a portion based on
the return on equity measurement and a portion based on the achievement of
individual performance goals.  The total target payout for each officer varies
by level of responsibility and ranged from 37% (for the President) to 5% of base
salary in 1993.  These targets are also adjusted upward or downward by a
multiplier which is tied to the performance measure levels (threshold, target
range and maximum).

In 1994 the Board of Directors, on the advice of the Consultant, adopted a wider
spread between performance levels which will result in the future in a lower
payout for substantially exceeding the target range and a somewhat higher payout
for meeting the target range, below which nothing is paid.

Management's Analysis of Financial Statements
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary


Results of Operations
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary ("Washington Trust" or "the
Corporation") recorded net income of $4.8 million for 1993, an increase of 51.7%
over the $3.2 million earned in 1992.  Fully diluted earnings per share for the
year ended December 31, 1993 amounted to $2.54 per share, up from $1.71 per
share earned in 1992.  Net income for 1993 includes a benefit of $305,000, or
$.16 per share, recorded in the first quarter of 1993 as a result of the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes.  Washington
Trust's rates of return on average assets and average equity were 1.01% and
12.92%, respectively.  Return on average assets and average equity for the same
period, excluding the effect of the accounting change, amounted to .95% and
12.10%, respectively.  Equivalent amounts for the year ended December 31, 1992
were .70% and 9.15%, respectively.

Increases in net interest income (the difference between interest earned on
loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings),
improved levels of nonperforming assets, and a decrease in the Corporation's
provision for loan losses all had a positive impact on 1993 earnings.

Net interest income rose 8.8%, primarily due to a favorable interest rate
environment.  Rates paid on deposits continued to decline more rapidly than
those earned on loans and investments, resulting in an increase in net interest
income of $1.7 million in 1993.

Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were reduced to 3.9% at
December 31, 1993, down from 5.7% of total assets at December 31, 1992.  The
provision for loan losses amounted to $2.5 million in 1993, down from $4.0
million in 1992.  Net loan charge-offs were reduced to $1.2 million in 1993,
down from $3.1 million in 1992.

Noninterest income rose 11.3% to $6.4 million in 1993, up from $5.8 million in
1992.  Included in noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 1993 are
gains on loan sales of $484,960 and gains on sales of securities available for
sale of $345,674.


Financial Condition
Total assets at December 31, 1993 amounted to $487.3 million, up 6.5% from the
1992 amount of $457.7 million.  Average assets rose from $448.1 million in 1992
to $473.7 million in 1993, an increase of 5.7%.

Total securities, including investment securities and securities available for
sale, rose to $86.8 million at December 31, 1993, up 19.1% from the prior year.
This increase was funded by proceeds from sales of residential mortgages, higher
levels of deposits, and term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston.  At December 31, 1993 total securities amounted to 17.8% of total
assets, up from 15.9% of total assets at December 31, 1992.  Net unrealized
appreciation on securities available for sale amounted to $8.2 million at
December 31, 1993.  Approximately $7.1 million of unrealized appreciation is
attributable to corporate stocks.

The Corporation's investment policy provides for the purchase of prudent
investments that will provide high yield without compromising safety and
liquidity.  Included in total securities are investments in U.S. Treasury
securities and obligations of other U.S. government agencies.  These issues
comprise approximately 80.6% of total securities at December 31, 1993.  Because
of the credit quality inherent in these instruments and their high liquidity,
these securities can also be pledged as collateral for borrowings and other
purposes.

As described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation
has classified $34.3 million of securities as available for sale.  These
securities may be sold in response to changes in market conditions, prepayment
risk, rate fluctuations, liquidity, or capital requirements.  Securities
designated as investment securities are held as part of the Corporation's
portfolio of long-term interest-earning assets.

Included in corporate stocks at December 31, 1993 are $4.5 million of auction
rate preferred stocks.  These are preferred stock instruments whose dividend
rate is reset by auction every 49 days to a market rate, resulting in a market
value of par.  At each auction, the holder can elect not to participate in the
auction and therefore liquidate its investment at par (cost).

Included in the Corporation's long-term investment portfolio at December 31,
1993 are $25.4 million of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
These securities are classified as long-term because the Corporation has the
intent and ability to hold them until maturity.  These securities may be pledged
as collateral for borrowings.

Total loans increased by $27.3 million in 1993 to $352.5 million at December 31,
1993.  Residential mortgage loans accounted for the largest portion of this
increase.  Total fixed rate mortgages declined by $9.7 million due in part to
refinancing and subsequent sales of such loans during 1993, while adjustable
rate mortgages (ARMs) increased $22.0 million, or 65.8%, as borrowers opted to
take advantage of the attractive rates that this product offered.  While demand
for commercial loans was soft during the first half of 1993, it showed some
growth in the third and fourth quarters.  Commercial mortgages increased by $9.1
million, or 23.4% in 1993.  Other commercial loans amounted to $101.6 million at
December 31, 1993, up 4.4% over the December 31, 1992 amount.

Total deposits at December 31, 1993 were $423.4 million, up $18.7 million, or
4.62%, from December 31, 1992.  Federal acquisition of two major competitors in
the Corporation's market area created an opportunity to attract additional
deposits.  In the prevailing low-interest rate environment, depositors continued
to shift balances away from term certificates of deposit into non-term savings
or transactional accounts.  Savings deposits (regular savings, NOW and money
market accounts) and demand deposits grew by a combined $17.8 million from
December 31, 1992 to December 31, 1993, accounting for the majority of the
increase in retail funding.  The reduction in cost of funds resulting from this
change in deposit mix benefited the Corporation's net interest margin in 1993.


Asset Quality
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more
past due with respect to principal and/or interest, and other real estate owned.
Nonperforming assets amounted to 3.9% of total assets at December 31, 1993, down
from 5.7% at December 31, 1992.  This decline is attributable primarily to sales
of foreclosed properties and to increased efforts by the Corporation to reduce
the level of nonperforming loans.

Risk Elements
Washington Trust assesses the quality of its loans by performing ongoing reviews
of the loans in its portfolio to determine potential loss exposure and to assess
delinquency trends.  During this review, management gives consideration to such
factors as overall borrower relationship, delinquency trends, credit and
collateral quality, prior loss experience, current and expected economic
conditions, and other pertinent factors.  As a result of this process charge-
offs and other potential problem loans are identified and loan loss reserves are
established.

The provision for loan losses charged to earnings for 1993 amounted to $2.5
million, down 37.5% from the $4.0 million recorded in 1992.  Net loan charge-
offs declined to $1.2 million, down from $3.1 million in 1992 and $7.2 million
in 1991.

Loans, with the exception of credit card loans, are placed on nonaccrual status
and interest recognition is suspended when such loans are 90 days or more past
due with respect to principal and/or interest.  Interest previously accrued, but
uncollected, is reversed against current period income.  Cash receipts on
nonaccrual loans are recognized as interest income, or recorded as a reduction
of principal if full collection of the loan is doubtful or if impairment of the
collateral is identified.  At December 31, 1993, nonaccrual loans amounted to
approximately $11.4 million.  Approximately $6.7 million, or 58.7% of these
nonaccrual loans were less than 90 days past due.  This compares favorably to
December 31, 1992 when 39.1% of total nonaccrual loans were less than 90 days
past due.

Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when the obligation has
performed in accordance with the contract terms for a reasonable period of time
and the ultimate collectibility of the contractual principal and interest is no
longer doubtful.  During 1993, approximately $2.7 million of loans classified as
nonaccrual at December 31, 1992 were returned to accruing status.

Nonperforming residential mortgage loans amounted to $4.8 million at December
31, 1993, down 15.8% from the prior year.  More importantly, the extent of the
residential mortgage delinquencies has improved substantially from 1992.  At
December 31, 1992 approximately 76.0% of nonaccrual residential mortgages were
90 days or more past due compared to 35.6% of such delinquencies at December 31,
1993.  This improvement is the result of increased collection efforts by the
Corporation and improved economic conditions.  Residential mortgages were the
largest category of nonperforming loans, comprising 41.9% of total nonperforming
loans at December 31, 1993.

A further analysis of nonaccrual residential mortgages follows (dollars in
thousands):

Commercial mortgages consist primarily of loans secured by commercial properties
which generate revenue for debt service.  Nonperforming commercial mortgages
fell 12.4% to $1.3 million, down from $1.5 million at December 31, 1992.
Nonperforming commercial mortgages amounted to 2.7% of total commercial
mortgages at December 31, 1993, down from 3.9% of the commercial mortgage
portfolio in the prior year.

Loans categorized as other commercial loans consist of loans to businesses and
individuals, a substantial portion of which is collateralized by real estate.
These businesses operate in diversified industry groups including manufacturing,
tourism and other service industries.  Nonperforming loans in this category
comprised 41.1% of total nonperforming loans.  At December 31, 1993
approximately 54.3% or $2.5 million of total nonperforming other commercial
loans were less than 90 days past due with respect to principal and/or interest.

Restructured Loans
Loans are considered restructured when the lender has granted concessions to a
borrower that it would otherwise not have considered.  These concessions include
modifications of the terms of the debt such as reduction of the stated interest
rate other than normal market rate adjustments, extension of maturity dates, or
reduction of principal balance or accrued interest.  The decision to restructure
a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit
the Corporation by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.
Nonaccrual loans which have been restructured are classified as nonaccrual until
such time as the borrower has demonstrated his ability to comply with the
modified terms.  Restructured loans that are performing in accordance with their
modified terms are included in accruing loans.

At December 31, 1993 restructured loans amounted to $404,595 and were included
in nonperforming loans.  There were no commitments to lend additional funds to
borrowers whose loans had been restructured.

Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (OREO) is comprised of properties acquired through
foreclosure and other legal means, and in-substance foreclosures (ISF's).  A
loan is considered to be an in-substance foreclosure when the borrower has
little or no equity in the property, proceeds for repayment of the loan are
dependent upon the sale of the collateral, and the borrower has effectively
abandoned control of the property or is unable to rebuild equity in the
property.  OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated
costs to sell.  A valuation allowance is maintained for potential declines in
market value, known declines in market value, and estimated selling costs.

At December 31, 1993, approximately 52.5% of total OREO was comprised of ISF's.
Foreclosure proceedings are generally initiated on ISF properties, but may be
delayed depending upon a borrower's legal circumstances.  See Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding OREO
properties.

OREO is comprised mainly of commercial properties and land.  Commercial
properties included in OREO amounted to $4.0 million at December 31, 1993, of
which $1.7 million was classified as ISF.  Washington Trust has had success in
reducing the number of residential properties included in OREO through sales.
Total residential OREO fell from $5.6 million at December 31, 1992 to $1.8
million at December 31, 1993.

Washington Trust has devoted substantial efforts to marketing its OREO
properties.  During 1993, sales of foreclosed properties and payments on in-
substance foreclosures amounted to $7.5 million.  Washington Trust has provided
financing to facilitate the sales of many of these properties.  Financing is
generally provided at market rates with credit terms similar to those available
to other borrowers.


Average Balances/Net Interest Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

The following table presents average balance and interest rate information.  Tax
exempt income is converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis by assuming a 34%
federal income tax rate adjusted for applicable state income taxes net of the
related federal tax benefit.  For dividends on corporate stocks, the 70% federal
dividends received deduction is also used in the calculation of tax equivalency.
Nonaccrual and renegotiated loans, as well as interest earned on these loans (to
the extent recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income), are included in
amounts presented for loans.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the amount by which interest and fees on interest-earning
assets exceeds the interest cost of deposits and other borrowed funds.  Net
interest income is the primary source of Washington Trust's operating income.
The level of net interest income is affected by the volume of average interest-
earning assets, market interest rates and other factors.  The following
discussion presents net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE)
basis by adjusting income and yields on tax-exempt loans and investments to be
comparable to taxable loans and investments.

An increase in average interest-earning assets and a widening spread between
yields earned on loans and rates paid on deposits resulted in an increase in FTE
net interest income of $1.7 million, or 8.9% in 1993.  The difference between
the balance of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $8.8 million in 1993.  Contributing to this increase was a
reduction in the level of other real estate owned, converting non-earning assets
into earning assets.  In addition, interest-free sources of funds as a
percentage of total sources of funds increased to 17.0% in 1993, up from 15.7%
in 1992.  The interest rate spread rose by 15 basis points in 1993, to 4.55%.
The net interest margin (FTE net interest income as a percentage of average
interest-earning assets) amounted to 4.90% in 1993, up from 4.76% in 1992.
Although yields on all interest-earning assets continued to decline in 1993,
deposits were priced downward to a much greater extent.  FTE interest income on
earning assets fell $873,000 from 1992, but interest expense was reduced by $2.6
million in 1993.

FTE interest income on interest-earning assets amounted to $35.5 million in
1993, down from $36.4 million in 1992.  The yield on interest-earning assets was
8.16% in 1993, down from 8.85% in 1992.  The combination of declines in rates
earned on all asset categories and changes in the mix of interest-earning assets
gave rise to this decrease.  While average balances of all categories of
investments increased in 1993, average total loans, the highest yielding asset
category, decreased by 1.6%.

The FTE rate of return on total loans was 8.68% in 1993, versus 9.27% in 1992.
This decrease is primarily attributable to the high volume of residential
mortgage refinancings.  The yield on the residential mortgage portfolio fell to
8.77%, down 76 basis points from 1992.  The rates charged on residential
mortgage loans have continued to decline, and as a result, demand for
residential mortgage refinancings and new originations has been steady.  In
addition, a substantial portion of mortgage loans originated in 1993 which were
retained in the Corporation's portfolio are adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs),
which provide a somewhat lower yield than fixed rate mortgages.  Average ARMs
and the yield on ARMs amounted to $43.0 million and 6.68%, respectively, in
1993, compared to $21.0 million and 7.74%, respectively, in 1992.  If the demand
for mortgage refinancings continues, the yield on the residential mortgage
portfolio can be expected to decline.

The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 1993 fell to 3.61%, down from
4.45% in 1992.  The change in the mix of deposits along with declining rates
contributed to the $2.6 million decrease in interest expense from 1992 to 1993.
Average savings deposits rose 8.6% in 1993, while average time deposits fell by
4.0%.  This shift in funds enhanced the positive impact that lower rates had on
net interest margin since the cost of savings deposits was 2.51% for 1993 versus
4.60% for time deposits.  In addition, average demand deposits, an interest-free
source of funds, increased 22% in 1993.

Included in other interest-bearing liabilities are term advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank averaging $18.6 million in 1993, up from an average of
$11.7 million in 1992.  The rate paid on these advances was 5.87% and 5.93% in
1993 and 1992, respectively.  These advances were used for general corporate
funding purposes.


Asset/Liability Management and Liquidity
The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for establishing
policy guidelines on liquidity and acceptable exposure to interest rate risk.
The objective of the committee is to manage assets and funding sources to
produce results which are consistent with Washington Trust's liquidity, capital
adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals.  The committee establishes
interest rate guidelines for proper matching of assets with funding sources, and
determines asset/liability origination and pricing strategies to meet its goals.
Upon periodic review of the economic environment and the volume, mix and
maturity of assets and liabilities, the committee makes changes in strategy that
will manage the Corporation's liquidity and exposure to interest rate risk.

Interest rate "gap" analysis is one of the tools used by the committee to
evaluate the Corporation's interest rate sensitivity at a specific point in
time.  Gap analysis measures the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities that reprice within a given period.  When an
institution's interest-earning assets exceed interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing within the same period (commonly referred to as a
"positive gap"), the institution can expect asset yields to increase faster than
liability costs in a rising rate environment, increasing its net interest
margin.  Conversely, in a rising rate environment an institution with a
"negative gap" would expect its rates paid on liabilities to rise faster than
its yield on assets, thereby reducing its net interest margin.

At December 31, 1993 the Corporation's cumulative one-year gap was a negative
$13.7 million or 3.1% of earning assets.  The following table details the
amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December
31, 1993 that are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods
presented.  To the extent applicable, amounts of assets and liabilities which
mature or reprice within a particular period were determined in accordance with
their contractual terms.  Fixed rate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities
have been allocated based on expected amortization and prepayment rates using
standard industry assumptions.  NOW and money market deposit accounts, which
have no contractual term, are presented in the under three-month category.  Also
included in this category are $65.3 million of regular savings accounts.  The
remaining $25.0 million of regular savings account balances are considered
insensitive to interest rate changes and are presented in the one to five year
category based on management's analysis of the longevity and ownership
characteristics of this segment of the deposit base.

Liquidity is the ability of a financial institution to meet maturing obligations
and customer loan demand.  Washington Trust's primary source of liquidity is
customer deposits.  Total deposits (time, savings, and demand deposits) funded
approximately 87.4% of total average assets in 1993.  Other sources of funding
include loan repayments and discretionary use of purchased liabilities (federal
funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home
Loan Bank of Boston term advances).  In addition, investment securities
designated as available for sale may be sold in response to short-term or long-
term liquidity needs.  During 1993 cash flows provided by operations amounted to
$12.8 million, the largest component of which was proceeds from sales of
mortgage loans.  Net cash flows from financing activities amounted to $24.0
million in 1993, including $18.7 million from deposit growth and $6.5 million in
additional Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  Cash flows generated by operating
and financing activities were used primarily for loan originations and additions
to the investment securities portfolio.  (See the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows for further information.)

The Asset/Liability Committee establishes and monitors internal liquidity
measures to manage liquidity. Based on these measures, Washington Trust's
liquidity position remained strong in 1993.  Net loans as a percentage of total
assets rose slightly to 70.6% at December 31, 1993 compared to 69.5% at December
31, 1992; and total securities as a percentage of total assets rose to 17.8% at
December 31, 1993, up from 15.9% at December 31, 1992.


Capital Resources
Shareholders' equity in the Corporation consists primarily of retained earnings,
as well as common stock and related paid-in capital.  The ratio of total equity
to total assets amounted to 7.9% at December 31, 1993.  Total shareholders'
equity increased by $3.5 million or 10.1% during 1993.  Approximately $3.1
million in capital growth resulted from the excess of net income over dividends
declared.  Cash dividends declared per share amounted to $.88 in 1993, up from
$.80 in 1992.  Book value per share rose to $20.56 per share at December 31,
1993, up from the year-earlier amount of $18.87.

Regulatory guidelines have been established that require bank holding companies
and state chartered banks to maintain minimum ratios of capital to risk-adjusted
assets.  These guidelines were established to more accurately assess the credit
risk inherent in the assets and off-balance sheet activities of financial
institutions.  Each balance sheet asset and each off-balance sheet asset is
assigned a "risk-weight" in determining the ratio of capital to risk-adjusted
assets.

Banks are required to have minimum core capital (Tier 1) of 4% and total risk-
adjusted capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) of 8%.  For Washington Trust, Tier 1
capital is essentially equal to shareholders' equity while Tier 2 capital
consists of a portion of the reserve for possible loan losses (limited to 1.25%
of total risk-weighted assets).  The Corporation's Tier 1 and total risk-based
capital ratios at December 31, 1993 were 11.86% and 13.12%, respectively.  As of
December 31, 1993, net risk-weighted assets amounted to $324.4 million.

The Tier 1 leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital (as defined under the
risk-based capital guidelines) divided by average assets (net of intangible
assets).  The minimum leverage ratio is 3% for banking organizations that do not
anticipate significant growth and that have well-diversified risk (including no
undue interest rate risk), excellent asset quality, high liquidity, and good
earnings.  Other banking organizations are expected to have ratios of at least
4-5%, depending on their particular condition and growth plans.  Higher capital
ratios could be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk
profile of a given banking organization.  The Corporation's leverage ratio as of
December 31, 1993 was 7.84%.  The Federal Reserve has not advised the
Corporation of any specific minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio applicable to
it.  See Note 16 to the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional discussion of the Corporation's ability to pay dividends.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income is an important source of revenue for the Corporation.  The
Corporation generates noninterest income by charging for banking related
services such as management of customer investment portfolios, trusts and
estates, assessing fees for servicing deposit accounts, servicing residential
mortgages sold in the secondary market and processing merchant bankcard
activity.  Gains on the sales of loans and investments are also included in
noninterest income.

Income from trust-related services, representing 46% of total noninterest income
in 1993, continues to be the largest component of noninterest income.  Trust
income amounted to $3.0 million in 1993, up 10.2% from the $2.7 million reported
in 1992.  This increase is primarily due to the increase in assets under
management.  The market value of assets under management amounted to
approximately $390.0 million at December 31, 1993, up 12.3% over the 1992 level
of $347.4 million.

Service charges on deposit accounts rose 17.7% to $1.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 1993.  This increase in revenue was generated from changes in
the fee structures of various deposit products as well as an increase in the
total deposit base during 1993.

Net gains on securities available for sale amounted to $345,674 in 1993, an
increase from $196,606 reported in 1992.  Gains in 1993 resulted from sales of
marketable equity securities.  Total proceeds from sales of equity securities in
1993 were $7.4 million and include $7.0 million relating to the sale of auction
rate preferred stocks from which no gain or loss was realized.

Gains on loan sales amounted to $484,960 in 1993, virtually unchanged from 1992.
The Corporation retains servicing rights on all residential mortgage loans sold.
Although the balance of serviced loans increased to $91.3 million at December
31, 1993 from $86.0 million at December 31, 1992, income generated from
servicing these loans decreased 15.6%.  This decrease resulted primarily from
accelerated amortization of the capitalized gain on excess servicing.  The
acceleration of this expense was necessary because of higher than expected
levels of prepayments of the underlying loans.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense rose 11.5% to $17.9 million in 1993.  Salaries and employee
benefits amounted to $8.7 million at December 31, 1993, increasing by 13.7% due
to increased staffing levels, normal salary adjustments and higher profit
sharing and incentive plan costs.

Occupancy costs increased by 17.2%, to $1.2 million in 1993 due primarily to
expenses incurred for repairs.

Expenses associated with other real estate owned decreased 14.5% to $901,000.
These costs include such items as insurance, taxes, utilities and maintenance as
well as net realized losses on sales of properties, unrealized losses
attributable to declines in market value and estimated selling costs.

Credit and collection costs were $582,000 in 1993, up 28.5% from $453,000 in
1992.  These costs consist largely of legal, appraisal and other costs
associated with collecting problem loans and securing collateral thereon.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense amounted to $2.3 million in 1993.  Washington Trust's
effective tax rate for 1993 was 33.5%.  This rate differed from the federal rate
of 34.0% due to the benefits of tax-exempt income and the dividends received
deduction as well as the expense resulting from state income taxes.

The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #109 (SFAS
#109), "Accounting for Income Taxes", as of January 1, 1993.  SFAS #109 requires
a change from the deferred method of determining income tax expense to the asset
and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases.  The cumulative effect of the January 1, 1993 adoption of
SFAS #109 was a $305,000 increase in earnings.

At December 31, 1993 the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset amounting to
$3,305,000.  A significant portion of this asset is expected to be realized for
tax purposes within a five year period.


Recent Accounting Developments
Postemployment Benefits
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued SFAS #112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits", which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993.  This pronouncement establishes
accounting standards for employers who provide benefits to former or inactive
employees, their beneficiaries and dependents, after employment but before
retirement.  SFAS #112 requires employers to recognize the expense associated
with providing these benefits when incurred provided that certain criteria are
met.  The implementation of SFAS #112 as of January 1, 1994 was not material to
the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

Loan Impairment
In May 1993 the FASB issued SFAS #114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1994.  This pronouncement establishes accounting standards for measuring
impairment on loans for which it is probable that the creditor will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement.  SFAS #114 requires impairment to be measured on a discounted cash
flow method, or at the loan's observable market price, or at the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  This pronouncement also
narrows the definition of in-substance foreclosures.  Accordingly, many of the
loans currently accounted for as in-substance foreclosures will be treated as
impaired loans under these new guidelines.  The periodic effect of this
pronouncement on the financial condition or results of operation of the
Corporation has not been fully determined.

Investments
The FASB issued SFAS #115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1993.  The Statement requires, among other things, that securities available for
sale be reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses excluded
from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net
of tax, until realized.  The Corporation adopted SFAS #115 as of January 1,
1994.  The effect of adopting this pronouncement was an increase in
shareholders' equity of approximately $4,911,000.  Subsequent changes in the
fair value of these securities could result in increased volatility of the
Corporation's capital levels.


Comparison of 1992 with 1991
For the year ended December 31, 1992, the Corporation recorded net income of
$3,150,356, or $1.71 per share, compared to $2,477,032, or $1.35 per share
earned in 1991.  Increased net interest income, improvement in the level of
nonperforming assets, and a resultant decrease in the Corporation's provision
for loan losses contributed to the increase in earnings.

The Corporation's increased efforts to reduce the level of nonperforming assets
during 1992 had a positive impact on its overall asset quality.  Nonperforming
assets were 5.7% of total assets at December 31, 1992, down from the prior year
amount of 8.1%.  The Corporation's loan loss provision amounted to $4.0 million
in 1992, down from $5.2 million in 1991.  Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries,
totalled $3.1 million and $7.2 million in 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Overall loan demand remained soft during 1992.  Total loans declined to $344.4
million at December 31, 1992, down from the December 31, 1991 amount of $361.0
million, primarily due to mortgage loans held for sale, charge-offs, and
foreclosures, including in-substance foreclosures.

Net interest income for 1992 was $19.1 million, up 9.1% from the 1991 amount of
$17.5 million.  The net interest margin amounted to 4.76% in 1992, up from 4.39%
in 1991.  The interest rate spread amounted to 4.40% and 3.87% for the years
ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

The yield on interest-earning assets was 8.85% in 1992, down from 10.12% in 1991
due primarily to declines in rates earned on all asset categories.  While
average interest-bearing liabilities rose only slightly in 1992, the rate paid
on these liabilities in 1992 fell to 4.45%, compared to 6.25% in 1991.  As
interest rates continued to fall in 1992, changes in the composition of deposits
resulted.  Average savings deposits increased from 40% to 48% of average
interest-bearing liabilities, while time deposits decreased from 60% to 49% of
average interest-bearing liabilities at the end of 1992.

Shareholders' equity increased 5.8% during 1992 while total assets rose 3.8%.
The ratio of capital to assets was 7.6% and 7.5% at December 31, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.  Dividends paid per share amounted to $.80 in 1992, unchanged from
1991.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
WASHINGTON TRUST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. and
subsidiary (the Corporation) include the accounts of Washington Trust Bancorp,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Washington Trust Company, a Rhode
Island chartered bank.  All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.  The consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual
basis of accounting except for certain fees earned in a fiduciary capacity which
are reported on a cash basis and which do not differ materially from amounts
determined on the accrual basis.

Certain amounts in the 1992 and 1991 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current reporting format.

Investment Accounting Policy
Securities Available for Sale
Effective September 30, 1992, the Corporation designated securities that it
intends to use as part of its asset/liability strategy or that may be sold as a
result of changes in market conditions, changes in prepayment risk, rate
fluctuations, liquidity or capital requirements as available for sale.  With
respect to securities acquired subsequent to September 30, 1992, the
determination to classify such securities as available for sale is made at the
time of purchase.  These securities are classified and reported separately on
the Consolidated Balance Sheets as securities available for sale.  Securities
classified as available for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost,
adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount in the case of
debt securities, or market value.  The resulting net unrealized loss, if any, is
charged to current period earnings.  Any unrealized loss on an individual
security deemed to be other than temporary is recognized as a realized loss in
the accounting period in which the determination is made.  Realized gains or
losses from sales of equity securities are determined using the average cost
method, while other realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification method.

Investment Securities
The determination to classify debt securities as long term is made at the time
of purchase and is based on management's intent and ability to hold the
securities until maturity.  Debt securities held in the investment portfolio are
stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount
(calculated on a method that approximates the interest method).

Loan Accounting Policy
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost, net of
unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs, or market.

Loans
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized
deferred loan origination fees and costs.  Interest income is accrued on various
methods which approximate a level yield related to principal amounts
outstanding.  Deferred loan fees and costs are amortized as an adjustment to
yield over the life of the related loans.

Nonaccrual Loans
Loans, with the exception of credit card loans, are placed on nonaccrual status
and interest recognition is suspended when such loans are 90 days or more
overdue with respect to principal and/or interest.  Interest previously accrued,
but not collected on such loans is reversed against current period income.
Subsequent cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are applied to the outstanding
principal balance of the loan, or recognized as interest income depending on
management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan.  Loans are
removed from nonaccrual status when they have been current as to principal and
interest for a period of time, the borrower has demonstrated an ability to
comply with repayment terms, and when, in management's opinion, the loans are
considered to be fully collectible.

Restructured Loans
Restructured loans include those for which concessions such as reduction of
interest rates other than normal market rate adjustments, or deferral of
principal or interest payments have been granted due to a borrower's financial
condition.  Subsequent cash receipts on restructured loans are applied to the
outstanding principal balance of the loan, or recognized as interest income
depending on management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan.

Reserve for Possible Loan Losses
The reserve for possible loan losses is available for future credit losses
inherent in the loan portfolio.  The level of the reserve is based on
management's ongoing review of the growth and composition of the loan portfolio,
net charge-off experience, current and expected economic conditions, and other
pertinent factors.  Loans (or portions thereof) deemed to be uncollectible are
charged against the reserve and recoveries of amounts previously charged off are
added to the reserve.  Loss provisions charged to earnings are added to the
reserve to bring it to the desired level.

Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is calculated on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of assets.  Expenditures for major
additions and improvements are capitalized while the costs of current
maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
Other real estate owned consists of property acquired through foreclosure, and
includes loans determined to be "in-substance" foreclosures (ISF's).  A loan is
considered to be an ISF when the borrower has little or no equity in the
underlying collateral property, proceeds for repayment of the loan are dependent
upon the sale of the collateral, and the borrower has effectively abandoned
control of the property or it is doubtful that the borrower will be able to
rebuild equity in the property.

OREO is stated at the lower of cost or fair value at the date of acquisition or
classification to ISF status.  Fair value of such assets is determined based on
independent appraisals and other relevant factors.  Any write-down to fair value
at the time of foreclosure or classification to ISF status is charged to the
reserve for possible loan losses.  A valuation allowance is maintained for
potential declines in market value, known specific declines in market value, and
estimated selling costs.  Increases to the valuation allowance, expenses
associated with ownership of these properties, and gains and losses from their
sale are included in foreclosed property costs.

Deposit Taxes and Assessments
Deposit taxes and assessments consist of amounts assessed to members of the Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and
deposit taxes imposed by the State of Rhode Island.  These amounts are
calculated based on levels of bank deposits.

Pension Costs
Annual charges to earnings for the Corporation's defined benefit plans are
recognized based upon actuarial calculations and other methods.

Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS #109).  Under
SFAS #109, income tax expense is determined based on the asset and liability
method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The cumulative effect of
adoption of SFAS #109 has been reported in the 1993 Consolidated Statement of
Income.

Prior to adoption of SFAS #109, the Corporation accounted for income taxes under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11, whereby deferred taxes are provided
for income and expense items which are recognized in different time periods for
financial reporting and tax return purposes.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the average number of
common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding, net of shares assumed to
be repurchased using the treasury stock method.  Common stock equivalents arise
from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, if dilutive.

Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds
are sold on an overnight basis.

In 1993 the Corporation adopted the policy of originating certain mortgage loans
specifically for sale in the secondary market.  Accordingly, originations and
sales of such loans in 1993 are classified as operating activities in the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.


(2) Cash and Due From Banks
The Corporation's bank subsidiary is required to maintain certain average
reserve balances with the Federal Reserve.  Such reserve balances amounted to
$6,249,989 and $5,755,313 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.


(3) Securities Available For Sale
Securities available for sale are summarized as follows:

Proceeds from sales of corporate stocks available for sale during 1993 and 1992
were $7,387,344 and $7,508,250, respectively.  Gross gains of $345,844 and $0
were realized on these sales in 1993 and 1992, respectively.  Gross realized
losses amounted to $170 and $608 on these sales during 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
 
Included in proceeds from sales of corporate stocks available for sale are $7.0
million and $7.5 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively, from dispositions of
dutch auction preferred stocks with no gain or loss.  Purchases of dutch auction
preferred stocks available for sale amounted to $5.0 million and $5.5 million in
1993 and 1992, respectively.  These are preferred stock instruments whose
dividend rate is reset by auction every 49 days to a market rate, resulting in a
market value of par.  At each auction, the holder can elect not to participate
in the auction and therefore liquidate its investment at par (cost).

There were no sales of debt securities available for sale during 1993 and 1992.

Securities available for sale are reported at the lower of amortized cost or
market, with any net unrealized losses charged to earnings.  Effective January
1, 1994, the Corporation will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115 (SFAS #115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities."  SFAS #115 requires that securities available for sale be reported
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected as a separate component
of shareholders' equity, net of tax.  The January 1, 1994 adoption of SFAS #115
resulted in an increase in shareholders' equity of approximately $4,911,000.
This component of shareholders' equity will fluctuate with subsequent changes in
the fair value of securities available for sale.

</TABLE>


Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Corporation's lending activities are primarily conducted in southern Rhode
Island and southeastern Connecticut.  The Corporation grants single family and
multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial loans,
and a variety of consumer loans.  In addition, loans are granted for the
construction of residential homes, multi-family properties, commercial real
estate properties, and for land development.  The ability and willingness of the
single family residential and consumer borrowers to honor their repayment
commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic activity
within the market area and real estate values.  The ability and willingness of
commercial borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is dependent on the
general economy as well as the health of the real estate economic sector in the
market area.

Nonaccrual Loans
The balance of loans on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 was
$11,370,726 and $12,563,329, respectively.  Interest income that would have been
recognized had these loans been performing at originally contracted rates was
approximately $1,021,000 in 1993, $1,290,000 in 1992, and $2,194,000 in 1991.
Interest income attributable to these loans included in the Consolidated
Statements of Income amounted to approximately $597,000 in 1993, $709,000 in
1992 and $396,000 in 1991.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
Loans restructured during 1993 amounted to $404,595 and are included in
nonaccrual loans reported above.  At December 31, 1993, there were no
commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans had been
restructured.

Mortgage Servicing Activities
Mortgage loans sold to others and serviced by the Corporation on a fee basis
under various agreements amounted to $91,341,476 and $86,048,859 at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.  Loans serviced for others are not included in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(6) Reserve for Possible Loan Losses
The following is an analysis of the reserve for possible loan losses:

=====================================================================================
</TABLE>

Management believes that the reserve for possible loan losses is adequate.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the reserve may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions, particularly in the northeastern United States.  In addition,
various regulatory agencies may periodically review the Corporation's reserve
for possible loan losses.  Such agencies may require the recognition of
additions to the reserve based on their judgments about information available to
them at the time of their examination.


(7) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby
letters of credit, and financial guarantees.  These instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in
the consolidated balance sheets.  The contract amounts of these instruments
reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of
financial instruments.  The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet
instruments.  The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk are as follows:
<TABLE>

Loans sold with recourse                             $ 2,104,375  $ 2,861,059
Standby letters of credit                                848,253      976,835
Commitments to extend credit:
  Revolving, open-end loans secured by
    residential properties; home equity lines          8,791,330    7,924,635
  Credit card lines                                    9,845,871    8,167,724
  Homeowner construction loans                         3,257,811    2,276,114
  Construction and development loans                   1,329,486    1,179,891
  Commercial and other loans                          19,837,556   13,894,671
</TABLE>


Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there are no violations of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee.  Since some of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.  Each borrower's creditworthiness is
evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained is based
on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.

The Corporation has retained credit risk on certain residential mortgage loans
sold with recourse.  In the event of default by the mortgagor, the Corporation
could become obligated to repurchase the loan.  Such repurchases have been
insignificant and have not resulted in any losses to the Corporation.

</TABLE>

In the fourth quarter of 1992, the Corporation adopted Statement of Position
(SOP) 92-3, "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets".  This statement requires that
other real estate owned be carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus
estimated costs to sell.  A valuation allowance is maintained for known specific
and potential market declines and for estimated selling expenses.  The valuation
allowance is reduced by selling expenses incurred and increased by charges to
earnings.  Realized gains and losses on dispositions are recognized in earnings.
Prior to the adoption of SOP 92-3, the Corporation provided for estimated
selling expenses and known specific market declines as a reduction of the cost
basis of OREO, rather than through the valuation allowance.  Adoption of SOP 92-
3 resulted in increases of $798,541 to the OREO cost basis and the valuation
allowance in 1992.  Prior to the adoption of SOP 92-3, realized gains and losses
on dispositions of properties were credited or charged to the valuation
allowance.

An analysis of the activity relating to other real estate owned, including in-
substance foreclosures, follows:

</TABLE>

The Corporation's subsidiary bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston (FHLBB).  In addition to the outstanding advances, the subsidiary bank
also has access to an unused line of credit equal to 2% of assets at December
31, 1993.  Under agreement with the FHLBB, the subsidiary bank is required to
maintain qualified collateral, free and clear of liens, pledges, or encumbrances
that, based on certain percentages of book and market values, has a value equal
to the aggregate amount of the line of credit and outstanding advances.
Qualified collateral may consist of residential mortgage loans, U.S. government
or agency securities, and amounts maintained on deposit at the FHLBB.  The
subsidiary bank maintains qualified collateral in excess of the amount required
to collateralize the line of credit and outstanding advances at December 31,
1993.


(12) Employee Benefits
Pension Plan
The Corporation's noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covers
substantially all full-time employees.  Benefits are based on an employee's
years of service and highest 3-year compensation.  The plan is funded on a
current basis, in compliance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act.


The following table presents the funded status of the plan and amounts
presented in the consolidated financial statements:

Savings and Profit Sharing Plan
The Corporation has a qualified savings and profit sharing plan.  The plan
provides a specified match of employee contributions for substantially all full-
time employees.  In addition, full-time employees, excluding those key employees
participating in the Short-Term Incentive Plan, are eligible for an annual
benefit pursuant to a formula based on pre-tax income.  All employer
contributions were suspended from February 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992 as a
cost containment measure.  Total employer matching contributions under this plan
amounted to $165,300, $81,900, and $10,400 in 1993, 1992, and 1991,
respectively.  The amount of the profit sharing benefit for 1993 was $110,800.
There were no profit sharing distributions during 1992 and 1991.

Short-Term Incentive Plan
The Corporation established a nonqualified Short-Term Incentive Plan in 1992 to
reward key employees for their contributions to the Corporation's success.  This
plan provides for annual payments up to a maximum percentage of each
participant's base salary, which percentages vary among participants.  Payment
amounts are based on the achievement of target levels of return on equity and/or
the achievement of individual objectives.  Participants in this plan are not
eligible to receive benefits provided under the profit sharing component of the
Savings and Profit Sharing Plan.  The expense of the Short-Term Incentive Plan
amounted to $462,500 in 1993 and $85,700 in 1992.

Postemployment Benefits
The Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards #112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits"
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993.  This
statement establishes standards of accounting for the expected cost of providing
benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement.
It requires employers to accrue for these benefits during the period in which
the employee renders service.  The Corporation provides disability-related
benefits and other benefits to certain former or inactive employees.  The
implementation of SFAS #112 as of January 1, 1994 did not have a material effect
on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

Directors' Retainer Continuation Plan
The Corporation has a nonqualified plan which provides retirement benefits to
non-officer directors.  The plan pays the regular quarterly retainer in effect
at the time of departure for as many quarters as the director served with the
Corporation or a subsidiary.  The benefit commences upon departure and is
reduced for departure occurring before age 65.  Accrued and unpaid benefits
under this plan are an unfunded obligation of the subsidiary bank.  Prior
service cost is being amortized over the expected remaining service period of
each director.  Current cost is being recognized based on the present value of
expected future benefits.  The expense of this plan is included in other
noninterest expense and amounted to $77,800, $78,800, and $112,500 for 1993,
1992, and 1991, respectively.


(13) Income Taxes
As discussed in Note 1, the Corporation adopted SFAS #109 as of January 1, 1993.
The cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income taxes was an
increase of $305,000 in consolidated net income.  Prior years' financial
statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS #109.  Prior
year allocations between current and deferred taxes have been restated to
reflect actual timing differences.  The total income tax expense is not affected
by this restatement.

The components of income tax expense were as follows:

For the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991, deferred income taxes resulted
from timing differences in the recognition of certain revenue and deductions for
tax and financial statement purposes.  The sources of these differences and the
tax expense (benefit) of each were as follows:

In addition to future taxable income, a primary source of recovery of deferred
tax assets is taxes paid in prior years available for carryback.  A valuation
allowance has been established for a portion of the deferred tax asset that
relates to the state tax effect of temporary differences for which no carryback
is allowed.

(15) Litigation
The Corporation is involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising out
of the ordinary course of business.  Management is of the opinion, based on its
review with counsel of the development of such matters to date, that the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not materially affect the
consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.


(16) Shareholders' Equity
Stock Option Plan
The Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of options to directors,
officers, and key employees.  Up to 400,000 shares of the Corporation's common
stock may be used from authorized but unissued shares, treasury stock, or shares
available from expired options.  Options are designated either as non-qualified
or as incentive options and may be granted with stock appreciation rights
(SAR's).  The exercise price of an option may not be less than the fair market
value on the date of grant.  The option price is payable in cash, by the
delivery of shares of the Corporation's common stock already owned by the
grantee, or a combination thereof.  Options may be granted at any time until
December 31, 1997.  As of December 31, 1993, no options have been granted with
SAR's.

All options granted prior to 1992 are exercisable.  Options granted in 1993 and
1992 become vested over a three year period.  The following table presents
changes in options outstanding during 1993 and 1992:

Dividend Reinvestment
Under the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, 120,000 shares of
common stock were originally reserved to be issued for dividends reinvested and
cash payments to the plan.

As of December 31, 1993, a total of 464,922 common stock shares were reserved
for issuance under the Stock Option Plan and the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock
Purchase Plan.

Dividends
The source of funds for dividends paid by the Corporation is dividends received
from its subsidiary bank.  The Corporation and its subsidiary bank are regulated
enterprises and their abilities to pay dividends are subject to regulatory
review and restriction.  Certain regulatory and statutory restrictions exist
regarding dividends, loans, and advances from the subsidiary bank to the
Corporation.  Generally the subsidiary bank has the ability to pay dividends to
the parent subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements and subject to
"Guaranty Fund" requirements of the State of Rhode Island.  Under the most
restrictive of these requirements, the subsidiary bank could have declared, as
of December 31, 1993, aggregate additional dividends of $16.4 million.

On February 28, 1994, the subsidiary bank's primary regulator, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, agreed to release the subsidiary bank from a
January 1993 board of directors resolution regarding the payment of dividends.
The resolution stated that the subsidiary bank would not pay any dividend to the
Corporation unless it provided advance notification to its regulators and
received no reasonable objection.


(17) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #107, "Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments", requires that the Corporation disclose estimated fair
values of its financial instruments.  Fair value estimates are made as of a
specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information
about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any pricing
adjustments that could result from the sale of the Corporation's entire holding
of a particular financial instrument.  Because no quoted market exists for a
significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based
on subjective judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current
economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and
other factors.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates
of fair value.  Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth
as follows:

Cash and Investments
The carrying amount of short-term instruments such as cash and federal funds
sold is used as an estimate of fair value.

The fair value of longer-term investments is estimated based on bid prices
published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities
dealers.  The fair value of certain state and municipal securities is not
readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations.  No
market exists for shares of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.  Such stock
may be redeemed at par upon termination of FHLBB membership.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated using the quoted
market prices for sales of similar loans on the secondary market.

Loans
Fair values are estimated for categories of loans with similar financial
characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type and are then further segmented
into fixed rate and adjustable rate interest terms to determine their fair
value.  The fair value of fixed rate commercial and consumer loans is calculated
by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity of the loan
using interest rates offered at December 31, 1993 and 1992 that reflect the
credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.  The estimate of maturity is
based on the Corporation's historical repayment experience.  For residential
mortgages, fair value is estimated by using quoted market prices for sales of
similar loans on the secondary market, adjusted for servicing costs.  The fair
value of variable rate commercial and consumer loans approximates carrying
value.  The fair value of nonaccrual loans is calculated by discounting
estimated cash flows, using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with
the loan type or by other methods that give consideration to the value of the
underlying collateral.

Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market
accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 1993 and
1992.  The discounted values of cash flows using the rates currently offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities were used to estimate the fair value of
certificates of deposit.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
Rates currently available to the Corporation for advances with similar terms and
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing advances.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees
currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the
counterparties.  For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the
difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.
The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for
similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise
settle the obligations with the counterparties.

The following table presents the fair values of the Corporation's financial
instruments:

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments:
Off-balance sheet instruments, consisting largely of loan commitments, contain
provisions for fees, conditions and term periods which are consistent with
customary market practices.  Accordingly, the fair value amounts (considered to
be the discounted present value of the remaining contractual fees over the
unexpired commitment period) would not be material.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Washington
Trust Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary (the Corporation) as of December 31, 1993
and 1992 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1993.  These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Washington Trust
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 13 to the financial statements, the Corporation
adopted a new method of accounting for income taxes effective January 1, 1993.
