                    Report of Independent Accountants



            April 22, 1994

            To the Plan Administration Committee
             and Members of the
             Shawmut National Corporation
             Employees' Thrift Plan



            In our opinion, the accompanying statement of financial
            condition and the related statement of income and changes in
            plan equity present fairly, in all material respects, the
            financial position of the Shawmut National Corporation
            Employees' Thrift Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
            results of its operations and the changes in its plan equity
            for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
            1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
            principles.  These financial statements are the
            responsibility of the Plan Administrator; our responsibility
            is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
            on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements
            in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
            which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
            reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
            are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
            examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
            and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
            accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
            management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
            presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
            reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

            As discussed in Note 2, during 1992 the Plan changed its
            method of accounting for obligations for benefit payments to
            terminated employees to comply with recently issued guidance
            for accounting and disclosure by employee benefit plans.

               Shawmut National Corporation
               Employees' Thrift Plan
               Notes to Financial Statements


               1. Description of the Plan

                  The Shawmut National Corporation Employees' Thrift Plan
                  (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan established by
                  Shawmut National Corporation (the "Corporation") effective
                  January 1, 1989 to encourage employees to systematically
                  save for retirement.  Members of the Plan are employees of
                  the Corporation and its participating subsidiaries who
                  have met certain requirements as to age and length of
                  service.

                  Members of the Plan are eligible to contribute from 1%
                  to 12% of their compensation; however, a member may not
                  contribute more than $7,000, as adjusted annually for a
                  cost of living adjustment factor, in any calendar year
                  ($8,994 in 1993).  Members of the Plan may, under certain
                  circumstances, make a rollover contribution.  Members are
                  eligible to apply for a loan from the Plan in an amount
                  not less than $1,000 and not more than the lesser of 50%
                  of their available account balance, or $50,000 minus the
                  member's highest outstanding loan balance in the twelve
                  months preceding the date of the loan.  Members'
                  contributions are made by means of payroll deductions and
                  are paid into the Plan on a semi-monthly basis.  Such
                  contributions are invested, at the election of the
                  members, among various investment alternatives.  As
                  described below, certain of the funds invest in shares
                  representing an interest in an investment portfolio of
                  The Shawmut Funds, a family of open-end mutual funds
                  having various investment objectives.  Participants may
                  elect to invest contributions among any of the
                  following:

               Fixed Income Fund (formerly the Bond Fund) -
                  Invests in the Shawmut Fixed Income Fund, a mutual fund
                  sponsored by Shawmut Bank, N.A., which maintains a
                  portfolio of investment grade government and corporate
                  bonds designed to provide current income.  Prior to
                  December 11, 1992, funds were invested in a common
                  trust fund sponsored by Shawmut Bank, N.A.  At the
                  close of business on December 11, 1992, substantially
                  all of the net assets held in the common trust fund
                  were transferred to the mutual fund.

               Growth and Income Equity Fund (formerly the Equity Fund)-
                  Invests in the Shawmut Growth and Income Equity Fund, a
                  mutual fund sponsored by Shawmut Bank, N.A., which invests
                  in equity securities and is designed to provide a high
                  total return through long-term capital appreciation and
                  current income.  Prior to December 11, 1992, funds were
                  invested in a common trust fund sponsored by Shawmut
                  Bank, N.A.  At the close of business on December 11,
                  1992, substantially all of the net assets held in the
                  common trust fund were transferred to the mutual fund.

               Savings Fund -
                  Invests in collective trust funds and high grade
                  short-term U.S. government debt.  At the close of
                  business on January 31, 1994 the Savings Fund was no longer
                  an investment alternative of the Plan.  Members of the Plan
                  who had amounts invested in the Savings Fund were allowed
                  to transfer amounts in their participant accounts to any
                  of the other investment alternatives of the Plan.  Amounts
                  remaining in the Savings Fund at the close of business on
                  January 31, 1994 were transferred to the Prime Money Market
                  Fund.

               Notes to Financial Statements



                  Monthly employer contributions are made by
                  the Corporation in amounts ranging from forty to sixty
                  percent of the member's contribution up to 6% of
                  compensation.  Employer contribution percentages are based
                  on the member's length of service.  Members of the Plan
                  can elect to have their employer contribution invested in
                  any of the funds.  Participants are fully vested in their
                  accounts at all times.

                  Distributions from the Plan are made from the member's
                  account and are payable in cash (all funds) or stock
                  (Stock Fund).

                  The Corporation currently anticipates and believes that
                  the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves
                  the right to discontinue the Plan.

                  All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan
                  are paid by the Corporation.

                  Policies

                  Investment valuation and income

                  Shawmut National Corporation common stock is valued at
                  the closing bid price.  Investments in units of
                  participation in collective trusts are valued at the
                  respective reported net asset values as determined by the
                  Trustee.  Investments in mutual funds are valued at the
                  respective reported net asset values as determined by a
                  published source.

               Shawmut National Corporation
               Employees' Thrift Plan
               Notes to Financial Statements


                  Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date.
                  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
                  interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  The
                  Plan changed its method of reporting realized gains and
                  losses on the sale of common stock, mutual funds and units
                  of participation on collective trust funds during 1991, to
                  be in conformity with Department of Labor reporting
                  requirements.  This new reporting method requires realized
                  gains and losses to be recorded as sales proceeds less
                  current value at the beginning of the year or acquisition
                  cost if acquired during the year. Unrealized gains and losses
                  are based on the current value of investments held at the
                  end of the year less the current value at the beginning of
                  the year or acquisition cost if acquired during the year.
                  This change had no effect on the aggregate amount of realized
                  and unrealized gains and losses on the sale of investments
                  but only affects the classification be unrealized portions.

                  Contributions and distributions

                  Contributions and distributions are recognized on the
                  accrual basis of accounting.

                  Loans to participants

                  Loans to participants are stated at the principal amount
                  outstanding.  Interest income is recognized on the
                  effective interest method based upon the principal amount
                  outstanding.

                  Federal income taxes

                  The Plan is intended to be tax qualified under section
                  401 (a) and tax exempt under section 501 (a) of the
                  Internal Revenue Code (IRC).  The Administrator is in the
                  process of submitting the Plan to the Internal Revenue
                  Service for a favorable determination letter.  The Plan
                  Administrator has represented that the Plan is being
                  operated in accordance with all applicable provisions of
                  the Internal Revenue Code and Employee Retirement Income
                  Security Act of 1974.  Accordingly, no provision for
                  federal or state income taxes has been made in the
                  accompanying financial statements.

                  Members are not subject to federal income taxes on the
                  Corporation's contributions or on their contributions or
                  on income accruing to their accounts until distributions
                  are made from the Plan.  Plan distributions are taxable as
                  ordinary income, although lump sum distributions (as
                  defined in the IRC) may be eligible for favorable tax
                  treatment.

                  Restricted Fund

                  Restricted cash of $266,018 and $346,679 at December 31,
                  1993 and 1992, respectively, represents amounts payable to
                  former participants of the Shawmut Corporation Employees'
                  Thrift Plan who have terminated employment and elected
                  payment of their benefits in a manner other than a
                  lump-sum distribution.  These amounts have been segregated
                  from the Plan and individual savings accounts have been
                  established at Shawmut Bank Connecticut, N.A. and Shawmut 
                  Bank, N.A.  The amounts may not be invested in the employee 
                  elective investment options of the Plan nor may these 
                  participants receive the benefit of any future employer 
                  contributions.  Amounts invested in the individual savings 
                  accounts earn interest for the participants which is included 
                  in the Statement of Income and Changes in Plan Equity under 
                  the caption "Investment income".  The net change in the 
                  balances held in these accounts, exclusive of interest
                  earned, is included in the Statement of Income and Changes
                  in Plan Equity under the caption "Distributions to members".

                  Terminated Employees' Benefits

                  In accordance with guidelines addressing the accounting
                  method for terminated employees' benefit payment
                  obligations, the Plan changed its method of accounting
                  during 1992 retroactive to January 1, 1990.  The
                  accounting method recognizes benefit distributions to
                  terminated employees on a cash basis, whereas such
                  obligations were previously recognized as a liability of
                  the Plan.

               Report of Independent Accountants

               April 22, 1994

                and Members of the
                Shawmut National Corporation
                Employees' Thrift Plan



               In our opinion, the accompanying schedule of
               transactions in excess of five percent of investment
               value is fairly stated in all material respects in
               relation to the basic financial statements, taken as a
               whole, of the Shawmut National Corporation Employees'
               Thrift Plan for the year ended December 31, 1993 which
               is covered by our report dated April 22, 1994 presented
               in the first section of this document.  Our audit was
               made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
               financial statements taken as a whole.  This
               information is presented for purposes of additional
               analysis and is not a required part of the basic
               financial statements.  Such information has been
               subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
               audit of the basic financial statements.
