UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance
Sheet as of June 30, 1995, and the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Statements of Income for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995, give effect to the merger (the
"Merger") of Shawmut National Corporation ("Shawmut") into
Fleet Financial Group, Inc. ("Fleet") accounted for as a
pooling of interests, the consummation of the merger (the
"NBB Merger") of NBB Bancorp, Inc. ("NBB") into Fleet, the
consummation of the merger (the "Plaza Merger") of Plaza
Home Mortgage Corp. ("Plaza") into Fleet, the consummation
of the merger (the "Northeast Merger") of Northeast Federal
Corp.  ("Northeast") into Shawmut, the consummation of the
acquisition (the "Barclays Acquisition") of substantially
all of the assets of Barclays Business Finance Division of
Barclays Business Credit, Inc. ("Barclays") by Shawmut, and
Fleet's repurchase (the "FMG Repurchase") of the publicly-
held shares of Fleet's majority-owned subsidiary, Fleet
Mortgage Group, Inc. ("FMG"), each of which was accounted
for by the purchase method of accounting, in each case as if
such transactions had occurred on January 1, 1995.  The
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1994, give effect to the
Merger as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 1994, and
do not take into account the effects of the NBB Merger, the
Plaza Merger, the Northeast Merger, the Barclays Acquisition
or the FMG Repurchase since such transactions were accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting.

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

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

     Pro forma per share amounts for the combined Fleet and
Shawmut entity are based on the Common Exchange ratio of
0.8922 shares of Fleet Common Stock for each share of
Shawmut Common Stock.

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
                    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              
                         
     (a)  The pro forma information presented is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations or the
combined financial position that would have resulted had the
Merger, the NBB Merger, the Plaza Merger, the Northeast
Merger, the Barclays Acquisition and the FMG Repurchase been
consummated at the beginning of the periods indicated, nor
is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in
future periods or the future financial position of the
combined entities.  The NBB Merger was consummated on
January 27, 1995, the Barclays Acquisition was consummated
on January 31, 1995, the Plaza Merger was consummated on
March 3, 1995, the FMG Repurchase was consummated on
February 28, 1995 and the Northeast Merger was consummated
on June 9, 1995.

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

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

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

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

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
     
     
     (c)  Pro forma adjustments reflect the impact of the
Barclays Acquisition, which was consummated on January 31,
1995, and the Northeast Merger, which was consummated on
June 9, 1995, as if they had been consummated on January 1,
1995.  Pro forma adjustments also include interest expense
on Other short-term borrowings to fund the repurchase of
6,483,665 shares of Shawmut Common Stock issued in
connection with the Northeast Merger.

     (d)  Fleet is currently reviewing the investment
securities portfolio of Shawmut to determine the
classification of such securities as either available for
sale or held to maturity in connection with Fleet's existing
interest-rate risk position.  As a result of this review,
certain reclassifications of Shawmut investment securities
may result.  No adjustments have been made to either the
available for sale or the held to maturity portfolios in the
accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet to
reflect any such reclassification as management has not made
a final determination with respect to such matters.  Any
such reclassification will be accounted for in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," which requires that securities transferred from
held to maturity to available for sale be transferred at
fair value with any unrealized gain or loss, net of taxes,
at the date of transfer recognized as a separate component
of stockholders' equity.  At June 30, 1995, securities held
to maturity at Shawmut had an unrealized loss of $96,820.

     (e)  Pro forma adjustments to common shares and common
surplus at June 30, 1995, reflect the Merger accounted for
as a pooling of interests, through: (a)  the exchange of
104,495,161 shares of Fleet Common Stock (using the Common
Exchange Ratio of 0.8922) for the 117,120,781 outstanding
shares of Shawmut Common Stock at June 30, 1995 (which
excludes the 5,811,900 shares of Shawmut Common Stock held
by Fleet as of such date, which are assumed to be retired
for combining purposes, and the repurchase of 6,483,665
shares of Shawmut Common Stock issued in connection with the
Northeast Merger which have been or will be repurchased;  as
of June 30 ,1995,  2,714,797 shares had been repurchased
with the remainder expected to be repurchased during the
third quarter of 1995) and (b) the exchange of shares of
Fleet New Preferred Stock for all shares of Shawmut
Preferred on a share-for-share basis.

     (f)  Pro forma adjustments to securities available for
sale at June 30, 1995, and to dividend income on securities
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, reflect the elimination
of 5,811,900 shares of Shawmut Common Stock held by Fleet at
June 30, 1995, and the corresponding dividend income
recorded on such shares.  Pro forma adjustments to other
assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities at June
30, 1995, include the elimination of Fleet's dividend
receivable related to such shares and the elimination of
Shawmut's corresponding dividend payable.  The Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Balance Sheet also eliminates the after-tax
unrealized gain on these securities recorded in equity and
the related deferred tax liability.

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

     (g)  A liability of $400,000 ($349,559 net of the
$36,853 and $13,588 charges taken by Shawmut in the first
and second quarters of 1995 respectively) has been recorded
in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet to reflect
management's best estimate of merger and restructuring
related charges in connection with the Merger.  This
liability resulted in a $240,000 after-tax charge ($209,735
net of the after-tax impact of the charge recorded by
Shawmut in the first six months of 1995) to retained
earnings in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet.
It is anticipated that substantially all of these charges
will be paid during the first 15 months subsequent to the
Merger.  During the first quarter of 1995 Shawmut recognized
$36,853 of this charge due to the settlement of certain of
Shawmut's retirement benefits as a result of the execution
of  the merger agreement with Fleet.  During the second
quarter of 1995 Shawmut recognized $13,588 of this charge
due to the vesting of certain restricted stock upon
shareholder approval of the Merger.  These charges have been
eliminated from the pro forma income statements due to the
nonrecurring nature of the charges.  The following table
provides details of the estimated merger and restructuring
related charges by type:

        Type of Cost                        Estimated Costs
                                         (Dollars in Thousands)
   Personnel                                   $ 255,000
   Facilities and equipment                       68,000
   Branch related                                 37,000
   Other merger expenses                          40,000
   Total                                       $ 400,000

     Personnel related costs consist primarily of charges
related to employee severance, termination of certain
employee benefits plans and employee assistance costs for
separated employees.  Facilities and equipment charges
consist of lease termination costs and other facilities
related exit costs resulting from consolidation of duplicate
headquarters and operational facilities, and computer
equipment and software write-offs due to duplication or
incompatibility.  Branch related costs are primarily related
to the cost of exiting branches anticipated to be closed,
including lease terminations and equipment write-offs.  The
effect of the proposed charge has been reflected in the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30,
1995; however, since the proposed charge is nonrecurring, it
has not been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statements of Income.

     (h)  Pro forma adjustments to Other short-term
borrowings, Common stock and Common surplus at June 30, 1995
assume that the remaining outstanding shares of Shawmut
Common Stock issued in connection with the Northeast Merger
were all repurchased as of June 30, 1995 at an average stock
price of $30.875, the closing price of Shawmut Common Stock
on July 31, 1995.  At June 30, 1995,  3,768,868 shares of
Shawmut Common Stock issued in connection with the Northeast
Merger remained outstanding.

              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


     (i)  The Fleet Pro Forma weighted average shares
outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 1995, reflect
Fleet's historical weighted average shares outstanding plus
the one month effect of the issuance of 6,165,912 shares of
Fleet Common Stock in connection with the NBB Merger as if
such Merger occurred on January 1, 1995.  The Shawmut Pro
Forma weighted average shares outstanding for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995, reflect Shawmut's historical
weighted average shares outstanding adjusted for the
repurchase of the shares of Shawmut Common Stock issued in
connection with the Northeast Merger as if such merger and
repurchase had occurred on January 1, 1995.  The
Fleet/Shawmut Pro Forma weighted average shares outstanding
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, reflect
the Fleet Pro Forma weighted average shares plus the
converted Shawmut Pro Forma weighted average shares
outstanding (after adjustment to eliminate the 5,811,900
shares of Shawmut Common Stock owned by Fleet, which are
assumed to be retired for combining purposes).  Pro forma
per share amounts for the combined Fleet and Shawmut entity
are based on the Common Exchange ratio of  0.8922 shares of
Fleet Common Stock for each share of Shawmut Common Stock.

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