SHAWMUT NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

Shawmut National Corporation (the "Corporation") reported net income
for the second quarter of 1995 of $82.6 million, or $.61 per common
share, compared with a net loss of $18.7 million, or $.19 per common
share, for the second quarter of 1994.  Included in second quarter 1995
results was a $13.6 million pre-tax charge ($8.5 million after-tax, or
$.07 per common share) related to the settlement of certain
compensation expenses as a result of shareholder approval of the
agreement to merge with Fleet Financial Group, Inc. ("Fleet").
Excluding this charge, net income for the second quarter of 1995 would
have been $91.1 million, or $.68 per common share.  The 1994 second
quarter results of operations included $140.7 million ($99.8 million
after-tax, or $.84 per common share) of merger and restructuring
charges related to the costs to integrate three banking organizations
which were acquired and accounted for as poolings of interests and the
expansion of a cost management program.  Excluding these charges, net
income for the second quarter of 1994 would have been $81.1 million, or
$.65 per common share.

For the first six months of 1995, net income was $145.2 million, or
$1.08 per common share, compared with net income of $58.6 million, or
$.43 per common share for the comparable period of 1994.  The results
for the first six months of 1995 included a total of $50.5 million
pre-tax charges ($31.6 million after-tax, or $.25 per common share)
related to the settlement of certain employee retirement benefits and
compensation expenses as a result of the agreement to merge with Fleet.
Excluding these charges, net income for the first six months of 1995
would have been $176.8 million, or $1.33 per common share, an increase
of $18.4 million, or 12 percent, compared with net income of $158.4
million, or $1.28 per common share, for the first six months of 1994
before the merger and restructuring charges discussed above.

On June 9, 1995, the Corporation completed its acquisition of Northeast
Federal Corp. ("Northeast") of Farmington, Connecticut, with assets of
$3.3 billion.  The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting.  Also, as previously reported, on January 31,
1995, the Corporation purchased substantially all the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of the Business Finance Division of
Barclays Business Credit, Inc., which was renamed Shawmut Capital
Corporation.  This acquisition was also accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.  The results of Shawmut Capital
Corporation and Northeast are included in the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements for 1995 only from the respective
dates of purchase.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis for the second
quarter of 1995 was $271.5 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 1
percent, compared with $268.7 million for the second quarter of 1994.
The increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income was due to a
$3.5 billion, or 12 percent, increase in average interest-earning
assets from the second quarter of 1994, offsetting a 37 basis point
decline in taxable-equivalent net interest margin to 3.39 percent from
3.76 percent for the same periods.  Net interest margin declined in the
second quarter of 1995 when compared with the prior year period
reflecting the effects of the rising interest rate environment on the
Corporation's liability sensitive balance sheet over this period.

There was no provision for credit losses for the second quarter of both 1995
and 1994.  Nonaccruing loans plus foreclosed properties at June 30,
1995 totaled $194.9 million, down $47.9 million, or 20 percent, from
$242.8 million at December 31, 1994.  The ratio of nonaccruing loans
plus foreclosed properties to loans plus foreclosed properties declined
to .87 percent at June 30, 1995 from 1.31 percent at December 31, 1994.
The ratio of the reserve for credit losses to nonaccruing loans was 283
percent at June 30, 1995, compared with 242 percent at December 31,
1994.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, was $110.4
million for the second quarter of 1995, compared with $93.9 million for
the prior year period, an increase of $16.5 million, or 18 percent.
The increase in the 1995 period reflects higher customer service fees,
other fees and revenues from Shawmut Capital Corporation, Northeast and
financial institutions purchased during 1994.

Noninterest expenses, excluding merger and restructuring related
charges, were $234.5 million for the second quarter of 1995, a decrease
of $3.5 million, or 1 percent, from $238.0 million for the second
quarter of 1994.  The efficiency ratio, a measure of operating expenses
before special charges to net revenue, improved to 61.4 percent for the
second quarter of 1995 from 65.4 percent for the prior year period.

Return on average common equity and return on average assets for the
second quarter of 1995 were 13.92 percent and .95 percent,
respectively, compared with a loss on average common equity of 4.49
percent and a loss on average assets of .24 percent for the comparable
1994 period.  Excluding merger and restructuring related charges,
return on average common equity and return on average assets were 15.49
percent and 1.05 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 1995,
compared with 15.40 percent and 1.05 percent, respectively, for the
second quarter of 1994.

The Corporation's common stock closed at $31.875 per share on June 30,
1995, representing 178 percent of the $17.95 book value per common
share, compared with $16.375 per share and 98 percent of the $16.72
book value per common share at December 31, 1994.

On February 20, 1995, the Corporation and Fleet entered into an
agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which the Corporation will
merge with and into Fleet (the "Merger").  As a result of the Merger,
each share of the Corporation's $.01 par value common stock outstanding
will be converted into the right to receive .8922 shares of 
Fleet common stock, which at that time will have a par value of $.01 per 
share.  Each share of the various series of the Corporation's preferred 
stock will be converted into the right to receive an equivalent series of 
Fleet preferred stock.  The Merger is intended to constitute a tax-free 
transaction and to be accounted for as a pooling of interests.  On June 21, 
1995, common stock shareholders of both Fleet and the Corporation voted 
to approve the Merger.  The Merger, which is expected to be completed in 
the fourth quarter of 1995, is subject to the receipt of various regulatory 
approvals and the satisfaction (or, where permissible, waiver) of certain 
other standard closing conditions.  For further information on the 
Corporation's pending merger with Fleet and completed acquisitions, see 
Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 27.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income

The Corporation's taxable-equivalent net interest income was $271.5
million for the second quarter of 1995, an increase of $2.8 million, or
1 percent, from $268.7 million for the second quarter of 1994.  This
increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income was due to an
increase in the Corporation's average interest-earning assets,
primarily loans, which was largely offset by a decline in net interest
margin, discussed more fully below.  Average loans increased $3.9
billion to $21.5 billion for the second quarter of 1995 from $17.7
billion for the comparable prior year period.  The increase in average
loans included $2.9 billion due to the acquisitions of Shawmut Capital
Corporation and Northeast and growth of $1.3 billion in commercial
loans and $202.8 million in consumer lending and a decrease in real
estate investor/developer lending of $264.0 million.  Average
securities decreased $356 million to $10.0 billion for the second
quarter of 1995 from $10.4 billion for the second quarter of 1994 as a
result of maturities being used to fund loan growth.  Average
interest-bearing liabilities were $27.7 billion for the second quarter
of 1995, compared with $24.2 billion for the second quarter of 1994,
reflecting higher levels of interest-bearing deposits and notes and
debentures which supported the increase in average interest-earning
assets.  An analysis of net interest income is presented in Table 2.

The net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis for the second
quarter of 1995 was 3.39 percent, a decrease of 37 basis points from
3.76 percent for the comparable prior year quarter.  Net interest
margin for the first quarter of 1995 was 3.55 percent.  The decline in
net interest margin from the second quarter of 1994 reflects the effect
of the rising interest rate environment on the Corporation's liability
sensitive balance sheet over this period, resulting in interest-bearing
liabilities repricing faster than interest-earning assets.  The
Corporation utilizes short-term borrowings, including securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased, as a source
of funding for a portion of its interest-earning assets.  The average
interest rate paid on securities sold under agreements to repurchase
increased from 3.91 percent for the second quarter of 1994 to 5.89
percent for the second quarter of 1995, or an increase of 198 basis
points.  Similarly, the average interest rate paid on federal funds
purchased increased from 3.93 percent to 6.25 percent, or 232 basis
points, over the same period.  During this same period, the Corporation
extended certain funding maturities while shortening asset maturities
to largely eliminate this balance sheet liability sensitivity.  These
risk reduction activities have also contributed to the decline in net
interest margin.  A discussion of interest rate risk appears on page
13.  An analysis of net interest margin is presented in Table 3.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $544.7 million for the first
six months of 1995, an increase of $.6 million, or less than 1 percent,
from $544.1 million for the first six months of 1994.  The net interest
margin was 3.46 percent for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
compared with 3.84 percent for the comparable period a year ago.

Provision for Credit Losses

There was no provision for credit losses in the second quarter of both 1995
and 1994.  With continuing increases in reserve coverage of nonaccruing
loans and the credit quality of the loan portfolio, the Corporation
does not currently anticipate that provisions for credit losses will be
necessary in the second half of 1995.  Future levels of the reserve for
credit losses and provisions for credit losses may be affected by
changes in economic conditions and loan quality.

</TABLE>

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, was $110.4
million for the second quarter of 1995, an increase of $16.5 million,
or 18 percent, from $93.9 million for the second quarter of 1994,
reflecting increases in customer service fees, other fees and the
acquisitions of Shawmut Capital Corporation, Northeast and financial
institutions purchased during 1994.

Customer service fees increased $6.0 million to $54.8 million for the
second quarter of 1995 from $48.8 million for the comparable prior year
period.  Credit and trade related fees increased $3.1 million given
higher levels of customer credit facilities and the impact of Shawmut
Capital Corporation.  Deposit transaction and other service fees
increased $3.4 million due to price increases on consumer transaction
fees in mid-1994, increased usage of the Corporation's Convenience Plus
Card and the impact of fee standardization at acquired institutions.
Offsetting these increases was a decrease in cash management fees of
$1.1 million which reflects higher earnings credit rates for customer
deposit balances maintained in lieu of direct payments.

Trust and agency fees increased $2.3 million to $31.4 million for the
second quarter of 1995 from $29.1 million for the prior year quarter.
The improvement in the 1995 period resulted from the acquisition of the
processing services division of Poorman-Douglas (bankruptcy claims
processing) in the fourth quarter of 1994.  Trust and other assets
under management totaled $16.4 billion at June 30, 1995, compared with
$15.0 billion at June 30, 1994.

Other income increased $8.2 million to $24.2 million for the second
quarter of 1995 from $16.0 million for the second quarter of 1994
principally due to the inclusion of Shawmut Capital Corporation and
Northeast for the 1995 period. Loan servicing income for the second
quarter of 1995 and 1994 includes $5.8 million and $5.3 million,
respectively, of gains from the sale of mortgage servicing rights.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, for the
first six months of 1995 increased $22.4 million, or 12 percent, to
$205.8 million from $183.4 million for the first six months of 1994.

<PAGE> 8

During the second quarter of 1995, the Corporation adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 122, "Accounting for
Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("FAS 122").  The new accounting standard
requires that the Corporation's mortgage banking enterprise recognize
the rights to service mortgage loans for others as a separate asset by
allocating the total cost of originated mortgage loans to the mortgage
servicing rights and the mortgage loans based on their relative fair
values.  The Corporation's criteria for, and policies relating to,
estimating the fair value of mortgage servicing rights are consistent
with the methods utilized for estimating the fair value of purchased
mortgage servicing rights as determined by reference to independent
third party sources.  Retroactive capitalization of mortgage servicing
rights for transactions prior to the adoption of FAS 122 is not
permitted.  The adoption of FAS 122 had an insignificant effect on the
Corporation's results of operations.

</TABLE>

Noninterest expenses, excluding foreclosed properties provision and
merger and restructuring related charges, were $234.5 million for the
second quarter of 1995, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 1 percent, from
$237.1 million for the second quarter of 1994.  Excluding the effects
of Shawmut Capital Corporation, Northeast and financial institutions
purchased during 1994, noninterest expenses declined $24.7 million, or
10 percent, reflecting the Corporation's continuing cost management
initiatives which included workforce reductions, branch consolidations
and other expense control actions as well as acquisition consolidations
that occurred during the second half of 1994. Compensation and benefits
expense decreased $2.2 million, or 2 percent, to $120.4 million for the
second quarter of 1995 from $122.6 million for the comparable prior
year period.  Compensation and benefits expense decreases are
attributable to reductions in personnel from the cost management
initiatives and acquisition consolidations discussed above and reflect
$9.9 million of Shawmut Capital Corporation and Northeast expenses.
Full-time equivalent employees totaled 9,885 at June 30, 1995, compared
with 10,495 at June 30, 1994, and include the addition of approximately
1,000 employees through acquisitions in this time period.

Advertising expense was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 1995,
down $.5 million from $6.6 million for the prior year period.  Goodwill
amortization increased $3.5 million for the second quarter of 1995 from
$1.8 million for the second quarter of 1994, reflecting goodwill
associated with the acquisitions of Shawmut Capital Corporation and
Northeast as well as financial institutions purchased in the latter
part of 1994.

<PAGE> 9

Foreclosed properties expense declined $1.8 million, or 72 percent, to
$.7 million for the second quarter of 1995 from $2.5 million in the
comparable prior year quarter.  There was no provision for foreclosed
properties for the second quarter of 1995, compared with $.9 million
for the second quarter of 1994.  The decline in foreclosed properties
expense and provision reflects the decline in the level of foreclosed
properties at June 30, 1995 from the comparable prior year period.

Noninterest expenses, excluding foreclosed properties provision and
merger and restructuring related charges, totaled $463.2 million for
the first six months of 1995, compared with $476.9 million for the
first six months of 1994.

Merger related charges of $13.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 1995 relate to the settlement of certain compensation expenses as a
result of shareholder approval of the agreement to merge with Fleet.
As previously reported, merger related charges of $36.9 million
recognized in the first quarter of 1995 related to the settlement of
certain employee retirement benefits, also in connection with the
agreement to merge with Fleet.  Total merger related charges for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 were $50.5 million.  Merger related
charges of $100.9 million recorded during the second quarter of 1994
reflect the costs to integrate three banking organizations which were
acquired and accounted for as poolings of interests.  The merger
related charges included severance and benefits costs for workforce
reductions, closure of duplicative branches and facilities,
cancellation of vendor contracts, financial and advisory fees and
losses for disposition of loans and securities.

Restructuring related charges of $39.8 million, also recorded in the
second quarter of 1994, reflect the expansion of the Corporation's cost
management program and other cost initiatives.  Restructuring related
charges included severance and benefit related costs for workforce
reductions, branch and operational facilities consolidation and other
costs.

Merger and restructuring related charges recorded during the second
quarter of 1994 are more fully discussed in the Corporation's 1994
Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Accrued merger and restructuring expenses
totaled $6.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 1995.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 1995 was $49.4
million, representing an effective income tax rate of 37.4 percent.
The income tax benefit for the second quarter of 1994 was $.4 million
and is net of a $5.0 million tax expense related to the acquisitions
completed in the quarter.  Excluding this tax expense, the effective
income tax rate was 28.2 percent.  The increase in the effective income
tax rate for the 1995 period was due to a decline in the level of
nontaxable income and an increase in state income taxes.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1995
and 1994 was $86.8 million and $38.8 million, respectively,
representing an effective income tax rate of 37.4 percent and 34.7
percent (which excludes the $5.0 million acquisition related tax
expense), respectively.  The 1994 period reflects a reduction in the
deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.5 million in the first
quarter of 1994.

The Corporation's net deferred federal tax asset at June 30, 1995 was
$170.9 million, compared with $165.0 million at December 31, 1994.
Taxable income necessary to be generated in future periods to realize
this net deferred federal tax asset at June 30, 1995 would be
approximately $457 million.  Deferred state taxes, net of related
federal tax, totaled $81.0 million at June 30, 1995 and were reduced in
their entirety by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Total assets at June 30, 1995 were $36.0 billion, up $3.6 billion, or
11 percent, from $32.4 billion at December 31, 1994.  The increase is
largely attributable to the acquisitions of Shawmut Capital Corporation
and Northeast.

Total loans were $22.4 billion at June 30, 1995, an increase of $3.9
billion, or 21 percent, from $18.5 billion at December 31, 1994.  The
increase in loans from year-end 1994 was primarily due to the
acquisition of Shawmut Capital Corporation, which contributed $2.4
billion in loans outstanding at January 31, 1995, and Northeast, which
contributed $913.5 million in loans outstanding.  Commercial and
industrial loans increased from $7.0 billion at year-end to $10.2
billion at June 30, 1995, due to the acquisition of Shawmut Capital
Corporation and modest growth in core lending sectors such as
asset-based and specialized lending.  Consumer lending, which includes
residential mortgage, home equity and installment loans, increased
$684.7 million, or 8 percent, from year-end to $9.3 billion due
primarily to the acquisition of Northeast.  Owner-occupied real estate
loans increased from $1.4 billion at year-end to $1.5 billion at June
30, 1995, an increase of $95.3 million, primarily due to loans added as
part of the Shawmut Capital Corporation acquisition.
Investor/developer real estate loans declined by $79.9 million from
year-end, reflecting a selective reduction in certain segments of this
portfolio.

The Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio with the commercial
and industrial portfolio representing 46 percent of total loans at June
30, 1995.  Consumer loans represented 41 percent of total loans at that
date.  Owner-occupied commercial real estate and investor/developer
real estate loans were 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively.  An
analysis of the Corporation's loan portfolio is presented in Table 13
and by type in Tables 14 through 17.  A discussion of the credit
quality of the Corporation's loan portfolio begins on page 16.

Total securities decreased $490.3 million, or 5 percent, to $9.5
billion at June 30, 1995 from $10.0 billion at December 31, 1994.
Securities classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized
cost decreased $472.5 million to $7.5 billion at June 30, 1995 from
$8.0 billion at December 31, 1994.  Securities classified as available
for sale totaled $2.0 billion at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994.
Securities totaling $2.0 billion acquired in the Northeast acquisition
were sold and the proceeds were utilized to decrease other borrowings.
The Corporation uses a duration concept to quantify the exposure within
its securities portfolio to changes in the level of interest rate risk.
Duration is generally quoted in years and represents the price risk of
an equivalent maturity zero coupon bond.  The higher the duration
value, the greater the interest rate risk.  The hedge-adjusted duration
of the Corporation's available for sale and held to maturity securities
portfolio was 1.12 years and 2.07 years, respectively, at June 30, 1995
compared with 1.36 years and 2.37 years, respectively, at December 31,
1994.  Additional information regarding the Corporation's securities
portfolio is presented in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements on page 28.

Total deposits at June 30, 1995 were $22.7 billion, up $2.0 billion, or
10 percent, from $20.7 billion at year-end 1994. Demand deposits
decreased by $441.6 million, or 9 percent, to $4.7 billion at June 30,
1995 from year-end 1994. Demand deposits at December 31, 1994 reflected
seasonally higher transaction related balances of corporate and
financial institution customers.  Core deposits, which do not include
large denomination certificates of deposit, brokered retail deposits or
foreign time deposits, were $19.7 billion at June 30, 1995, compared
with $18.3 billion at December 31, 1994.  Domestic time deposits were
$8.5 billion at June 30, 1995, up $2.4 billion, or 40 percent, from
year-end 1994, reflecting the Northeast acquisition, the use of
brokered retail deposits to reduce the Corporation's reliance on
short-term funding sources and, to a lesser extent, a shifting of
balances from savings and money market accounts.  Domestic time
deposits purchased in the Northeast acquisition were $1.8 billion.
Foreign time deposits were $912.3 million at June 30, 1995, up $36.0
million, or 4 percent, from year-end 1994.

<PAGE> 11

Other borrowings, primarily securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and federal funds purchased, increased $828.9 million to
$7.9 billion at June 30, 1995 from $7.1 billion at December 31, 1994.
The increase in other borrowings was primarily due to funding for the
acquisition of Shawmut Capital Corporation.  In addition to other
borrowings, the Corporation's Shawmut Bank Connecticut subsidiary
completed an offering of $250 million of subordinated bank notes on
February 14, 1995 to partially fund the Shawmut Capital Corporation
acquisition.  As a result of this offering and notes issued under an
existing bank note program, notes and debentures increased from $2.0
billion at year-end 1994 to $2.3 billion at June 30, 1995.  On April
27, 1995,  the Corporation's principal subsidiary banks established a
$3.0 billion bank note program which will provide for future bank note
issuances.

TABLE 6 - INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY GAP ANALYSIS

The table below depicts the Corporation's interest rate sensitivity as
of June 30, 1995.  Allocations of assets and liabilities, including
noninterest-bearing sources of funds, to specific periods are based
upon management's assessment of contractual or anticipated repricing
characteristics, adjusted periodically to reflect actual experience.
Those gaps are then adjusted for the net effect of off-balance sheet
financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors and
futures contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

As indicated in the interest rate sensitivity table, the twelve-month
cumulative gap, representing the total net assets and liabilities that
are projected to reprice over the next twelve months, was asset
sensitive in the amount of $48 million at June 30, 1995.  An asset
sensitive interest rate gap would tend to increase earnings over a
period of rising interest rates, while declining rates would reduce
earnings.  The effects of interest rate caps and corridors are included
in the interest sensitivity table to the extent that these instruments
have become operative.  However, certain interest rate agreements have
not been included in the interest rate sensitivity table as the level
of interest rate indices at which these agreements become operative has
not been reached.  Based on an analysis of a 100 basis point increase
in interest rates, the twelve-month cumulative gap at June 30, 1995 would 
change from $48 million asset sensitive to a $152 million liability 
sensitive interest rate gap when giving effect to these interest rate
agreements.  The Corporation also utilizes modeling and other
analytical techniques to measure the effect on net interest income
under different interest rate scenarios.  Given an immediate 100 basis
point decrease in interest rates, the effect on net interest income
would be a reduction of approximately $6.7 million when compared with
the amount of net interest income assumed to be earned absent such an
interest rate decrease for the twelve-month period following June 30,
1995.

The use of interest rate instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps
and floors and futures contracts are integrated into the Corporation's
interest rate risk management.  The notional amounts of these
instruments are not reflected in the Corporation's balance sheet.
However, these instruments are included in the interest rate
sensitivity table for purposes of analyzing interest rate risk.

At June 30, 1995, the Corporation had approximately $4.3 billion in
notional amounts of interest rate swap agreements outstanding utilized
for the management of interest rate risk, an increase of $664 million
from $3.7 billion at December 31, 1994.  During the second quarter of
1995, $.5 billion in notional amounts of fixed receive interest rate
swaps, $.4 billion in notional amounts of basis swaps and $.2 billion
in notional amounts of fixed pay interest rate swaps were executed.
Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and
variable rate interest payments based upon a notional principal amount
and maturity date.  Interest rate swap agreements are used to
synthetically alter the maturity and repricing characteristics of
assets and liabilities.

In addition to interest rate swap agreements, the Corporation utilizes
interest rate cap and floor agreements to manage interest rate risk.
At June 30, 1995, the Corporation had approximately $1.0 billion in
notional amounts of purchased interest rate cap agreements outstanding.
In addition, approximately $.9 billion in notional amounts of interest
rate cap agreements which consist of a simultaneous purchase and sale
of a cap, the combination of which are known as interest rate
corridors, were outstanding at June 30, 1995.  Interest rate corridors
are utilized to protect the Corporation from a contraction in the
interest rate spread due to a moderate rise in interest rates.

Exchange-traded futures contracts are also used by the Corporation to
manage interest rate risk on the Corporation's funding sources.  The
notional amounts of futures contracts sold at June 30, 1995 were
approximately $1.3 billion, a decrease of $4.7 billion from $6.0
billion at December 31, 1994, due to contract settlements during the
first six months of 1995.  The unrealized gain related to these
Eurodollar futures contracts at June 30, 1995, which has been deferred,
was approximately $.5 million.  Maturities of the notional amounts of
futures contracts sold are as follows: $.6 billion in 1995; $.6 billion
in 1996; and $.1 billion in 1997.

million, and represents the estimated amount that the Corporation would
pay if the agreements were terminated at that date.  The unamortized
premium recorded in the Corporation's balance sheet related to interest
rate risk management agreements was $25.5 million at June 30, 1995.

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to meet cash needs arising from fluctuations
in loans, securities, deposits and other borrowings. The Corporation
manages liquidity on three levels: at a consolidated level; at the
subsidiary banks level; and at the parent company (Shawmut National
Corporation) level.

The Corporation primarily manages its liquidity using an
uncollateralized purchased funds concept, consistent with the condition
of the Corporation's earnings, capital, asset quality and economic
environment. Uncollateralized purchased funds ("UPFs") consist of
federal funds purchased, large denomination certificates of deposit,
Eurodollar deposits and private placement notes.  When measuring
liquidity, UPFs are offset by available short-term investments
including federal funds sold, bid-based money market loans, reverse
repurchase agreements and unused repurchase agreement collateral (U.S.
Government and agency securities and highly liquid marketable
securities). At June 30, 1995, UPFs were $3.1 billion.  This was offset
by $4.4 billion in short-term investments and unused repurchase
agreement collateral, leaving the Corporation with an excess of
short-term investments and unused repurchase agreement collateral over
UPFs of $1.3 billion.  Short-term investments and unused repurchase
agreement collateral exceeded the volume of UPFs by $1.5 billion at
December 31, 1994.  During the second quarter of 1994, the Corporation,
through its principal subsidiary banks, expanded its available funding
alternatives by establishing a $2.0 billion bank note program which
provided access to other diversified funding sources.  On April 27,
1995, the banks established a $3.0 billion bank note program which will
provide for future bank note issuances. Bank note issuances totaled
$1.3 billion at June 30, 1995.

<PAGE> 14

The Corporation manages the parent company's liquidity by measuring the
difference between the volume of short-term investments and short-term
funding sources and ongoing obligations, including debt maturities,
interest payments and dividends.  The parent company had short-term
borrowings of $215.7 million and notes and debentures of $749.3 million
at June 30, 1995.  The parent company had cash and cash equivalents at
June 30, 1995 of $341.2 million and securities with a fair value of
$193.6 million.  There are no scheduled maturities on notes and
debentures in 1995.  Scheduled maturities are $150 million in both 1996
and 1997.  On July 18, 1995, the Corporation established a $150 million
revolving credit agreement with a maturity of December 31, 1996.

Capital

The Corporation's total shareholders' equity at June 30, 1995 was $2.6
billion, or 7.17 percent of total assets, compared with $2.2 billion,
or 6.78 percent of total assets, at December 31, 1994, an increase of
$381.0 million.  As a result of the acquisition of Northeast on June 9,
1995, the Corporation issued 6,483,665 shares of common stock. The fair
value of the Corporation's common stock issued as consideration for
Northeast common stock and options was $192.8 million.  Also, in
connection with the acquisition of Shawmut Capital Corporation, on
January 26, 1995, the Corporation completed a $125 million offering of
500,000 shares of 9.35% cumulative preferred stock with a stated value
of $250 per share, represented by depositary shares.  The increase in
shareholders' equity for the first six months of 1995 also reflects a
$41.2 million decline in the net after-tax unrealized loss on the
Corporation's $2.0 billion available for sale securities portfolio.
Volatility in shareholders' equity may occur in future periods as the
fair value of the Corporation's available for sale securities portfolio
changes with market conditions.

During the second quarter of 1995, the Corporation announced its
intention to repurchase approximately 9 million shares of common stock
in connection with shares issued as part of the Northeast acquisition
and expected issuances for employee stock options.  As of June 30,
1995, 3.1 million common shares had been repurchased at a cost of $99.3
million.

</TABLE>

The Corporation's Risk-based Tier 1 and Total capital ratios were 6.96
percent and 10.56 percent at June 30, 1995, respectively, compared with
8.27 percent and 11.55 percent at December 31, 1994, respectively.  The
Leverage ratio, a measure of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average
assets, was 6.08 percent at June 30, 1995, compared with 6.62 percent
at December 31, 1994.  The decline in the Risk-based capital and
Leverage ratios from year-end 1994 was due to the increase in
risk-weighted and other assets as a result of the acquisitions of
Shawmut Capital Corporation and Northeast and common stock repurchases.
Under Federal banking regulations, an institution is deemed to be
well-capitalized if it has a Risk-based Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00
percent or greater, a Risk-based Total capital ratio of 10.00 percent
or greater and a Leverage ratio of 5.00 percent or greater.  The
Corporation exceeded the requirements for a well-capitalized financial
institution at June 30, 1995.

CREDIT QUALITY

Nonaccruing loans were $190.9 million at June 30, 1995, compared with
$224.0 million at December 31, 1994. Approximately 24 percent of
nonaccruing loans were less than 30 days past due at June 30, 1995,
compared with approximately 26 percent at December 31, 1994.  The
acquisitions of Shawmut Capital Corporation and Northeast resulted in
$10.7 million and $27.9 million, respectively, of nonaccruing loans and
foreclosed properties held for accelerated disposition at June 30, 1995,
which have been reported at the lower of cost or fair market value and
are included with other assets.  The ratio of nonaccruing loans to
loans improved to .85 percent at June 30, 1995 from 1.21 percent at
December 31, 1994.  The ratio of the reserve for credit losses to
nonaccruing loans was 283 percent at June 30, 1995, compared with 242
percent at December 31, 1994.  Nonaccruing loans by loan type are
presented in Table 8.  Changes in nonaccruing loans are presented in
Table 9.

Restructured loans, which are loans with original terms that have been
modified as a result of a change in the borrower's financial condition,
totaled $28.1 million at June 30, 1995, compared with $41.8 million at
the end of 1994. Restructured loans included real estate
investor/developer loans and owner-occupied commercial real estate
loans of $21.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively, at June 30,
1995.

<PAGE> 16

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more, which are well secured and in
the process of collection, were $46.4 million at June 30, 1995,
compared with $43.3 million at December 31, 1994.  These loans
represented less than .3 percent of loans outstanding at June 30, 1995.
Consumer loans represented 63 percent and 49 percent of accruing loans
past due 90 days or more at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively.

RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The reserve for credit losses was $541.2 million at June 30, 1995,
compared with $542.1 million at December 31, 1994.  The reserve for
credit losses reflects the addition of $53.3 million of reserves
purchased as part of the Shawmut Capital Corporation and Northeast
acquisitions after net loan charge-offs of $54.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.  Changes in the Corporation's reserve for
credit losses is presented in Table 11.  The ratio of the reserve for
credit losses to loans was 2.42 percent at June 30, 1995, compared with
2.93 percent at December 31, 1994.  An analysis of the Corporation's
credit loss experience is presented in Table 12.  Net charge-offs,
including $4.7 million related to a bulk sale of residential mortgages,
were $29.6 million for the second quarter of 1995, equal to an
annualized rate of .55 percent of average loans, compared with $48.7
million and 1.10 percent for the same period a year ago.  A discussion
of the provision for credit losses is presented on page 7.

The Corporation adopted, on a prospective basis, FAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("FAS 114"),
effective January 1, 1995.  The new accounting standard requires that
impaired loans, which are defined as loans where it is probable that a
creditor will not be able to collect both the contractual interest and
principal payments, be measured at the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a
practical expedient, the fair value of collateral for collateral
dependent loans, when assessing the need for an impairment reserve.
The Corporation had previously considered the methods prescribed by FAS
114, as well as other matters, when assessing the adequacy of the
reserve for credit losses.  As a result, there was no effect on the
Corporation's results of operations from the adoption of this accounting
standard.  A further discussion of the adoption of FAS 114 is included
in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 29.

price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $159.2 million has
been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over a 15 year period.
Northeast's banking subsidiary, Northeast Savings, F.A., was merged with and
into a newly formed national bank, Shawmut Bank New York, N.A.

On January 31, 1995, the Corporation purchased substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of the Business Finance
Division of Barclays Business Credit, Inc., which was renamed Shawmut
Capital Corporation, for $2.6 billion, equal to the net book value of the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed plus a premium of $290 million.
Shawmut Capital Corporation, based in Glastonbury, Connecticut, provides
asset-based financing to middle market companies through a network of
offices nationwide.  The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting.  The excess of the purchase price, including
acquisition costs, over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $201.1
million has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized over a 25 year
period.

The following pro forma information presents the consolidated results of
operations for the Corporation for the six-month periods ended June 30,
1995 and 1994 as if the Northeast and Shawmut Capital Corporation
acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.  In
addition to combining the historical results of operations of the
Corporation, Northeast and Shawmut Capital Corporation, the pro forma

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On February 20, 1995, the Corporation and Fleet Financial Group, Inc.
("Fleet"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Rhode Island, entered into an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to
which the Corporation will merge with and into Fleet (the "Merger").  As a
result of the Merger, each share of the $.01 par value common stock of the
Corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the
Merger, other than shares held directly or indirectly by the Corporation or
Fleet, will be converted into the right to receive .8922 shares of Fleet
common stock, which at that time will have a par value of $.01 per share.  
Each share of the Corporation's Preferred Stock with Cumulative and 
Adjustable Dividends with a stated value of $50 per share, 9.30% Cumulative 
Preferred Stock and 9.35% Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding immediately 
prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right 
to receive one equivalent share of each of the respective series of Fleet 
preferred stock.

The Merger is intended to constitute a tax-free transaction and to be
accounted for as a pooling of interests.  It is anticipated that the Merger
will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 1995.  On June 21, 1995,
common stock shareholders of both Fleet and the Corporation voted to
approve the Merger.  The Merger is subject to the receipt of various
regulatory approvals and the satisfaction (or, where permissible, waiver)
of certain other standard closing conditions.

</TABLE>

The Corporation adopted, on a prospective basis, Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan" ("FAS 114"), effective January 1, 1995.  The new
accounting standard requires that impaired loans, which are defined as
loans where it is probable that a creditor will not be able to collect both
the contractual interest and principal payments, be measured at the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate or, as a practical expedient, the fair value of collateral
for collateral dependent loans, when assessing the need for an impairment
reserve.  FAS 114 excludes smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are
collectively evaluated for impairment, such as residential mortgage and
consumer installment loans.  The Corporation had previously considered the
methods prescribed by FAS 114, as well as other matters, when assessing the
adequacy of the reserve for credit losses.  As a result, there was no
effect on the Corporation's results of operations from the adoption of this
accounting standard.

FAS 114 does not address when a creditor should record a direct write-down
of an impaired loan, nor does it address how a creditor should assess the
overall adequacy of the reserve for credit losses.  Therefore, the
impairment reserves determined in accordance with FAS 114 should not be
interpreted as the overall reserve for credit losses.

The Corporation's criteria for and policies relating to nonaccruing loans
are consistent with the definition of impaired loans under FAS 114.
Accordingly, the Corporation considers its nonaccruing loans to be impaired
loans as defined by FAS 114.  Upon adoption of FAS 114, the Corporation did
not change its method of recognizing interest income on impaired loans.

As indicated in the table above, at June 30, 1995 the recorded investment
in impaired loans, excluding consumer amounts, was $149.2 million.
Impairment reserves at June 30, 1995, determined in accordance with FAS 114
and included as part of the Corporation's reserve for credit losses,
approximated $10.9 million.  At June 30, 1995, approximately $62.3 million
of impaired loans which have been subjected to a specific review did not
require an impairment reserve, due primarily to prior charge-offs.  The average
recorded investment in impaired loans, excluding consumer amounts, during
the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was $168.0 million.  For the quarter ended
June 30, 1995, the amount of interest income recognized on impaired loans
was immaterial.

<PAGE> 30

Restructured loans are loans with original terms which have been modified
as a result of a change in the borrower's financial condition and are also
required to be accounted for and reported in accordance with FAS 114 for
restructurings that occur subsequent to January 1, 1995.  As indicated in
the table above, at June 30, 1995 restructured loans totaled $28.1 million.
There were no loans included in this amount that were restructured
subsequent to January 1, 1995.

Northeast's banking subsidiary had previously acquired certain assets of
four Rhode Island financial institutions which were in receivership
proceedings ("Rhode Island covered assets").  The Corporation, through its
acquisition of Northeast, is protected against losses incurred through 1999 
relative to all loans acquired from the institutions, including loans 
foreclosed upon subsequent to acquisition.  Accordingly, Rhode Island 
covered assets are segregated and reported separately from the Corporation's 
loans and foreclosed properties.  At June 30, 1995, Rhode Island covered 
assets included loans of $72.9 million, of which $3.6 million are nonaccruing 
loans, and $2.4 million of foreclosed properties.

Merger and Restructuring Related Charges

Merger related charges of $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995 relate to the settlement of certain compensation expenses as a result
of shareholder approval of the agreement to merge with Fleet.  Merger
related charges of $36.9 million recognized in the first quarter of 1995
related to the settlement of certain of the Corporation's employee
retirement benefits as a result of the execution of the agreement to merge
with Fleet.  Total merger related charges for the six months ended June 30,
1995 were $50.5 million.

Merger related charges of $100.9 million recorded during the second quarter
of 1994 reflect the costs to integrate three banking organizations which
were acquired and accounted for as poolings of interests.  The merger
related charges included severance and benefits costs for workforce
reductions, closure of duplicative branches and facilities, cancellation of
vendor contracts, financial and advisory fees and losses for disposition of
loans and securities.

Restructuring related charges of $39.8 million, also recorded in the second
quarter of 1994, reflect the expansion of the Corporation's cost management
program and other cost initiatives.  Restructuring related charges included
severance and benefit related costs for workforce reductions, branch and
operational facilities consolidation and other costs.

NOTE 8 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

During the second quarter of 1995, the Corporation adopted FAS No. 122,
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("FAS 122").  The new accounting
standard requires that the Corporation's mortgage banking enterprise
recognize the rights to service mortgage loans for others as a separate
asset by allocating the total cost of originated mortgage loans to the
mortgage servicing rights and the mortgage loans based on their relative
fair values.  The Corporation's criteria for, and policies relating to,
estimating the fair value of mortgage servicing rights are consistent with
the methods utilized for estimating the fair value of purchased mortgage
servicing rights as determined by reference to independent third party
sources.  Retroactive capitalization of mortgage servicing rights for
transactions prior to the adoption of FAS 122 is not permitted.  The
adoption of FAS 122 had an insignificant effect on the Corporation's
results of operations.

		 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

	
	Shawmut Bank Connecticut, N.A., one of the
	Corporation's subsidiaries, which served as
	indenture trustee for certain healthcare receivable
	backed bonds issued by certain special purpose
	subsidiaries (the "Towers subsidiaries") of Towers
	Financial Corporation ("Towers"), has been named in
	a lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan by
	purchasers of the bonds.  The Towers subsidiaries
	defaulted on the bonds and Towers and the
	subsidiaries later filed for bankruptcy protection.
	The suit seeks damages in an undetermined amount
	equal to the difference between the current value
	of the bonds and their face amount of approximately
	$200 million, plus interest, as well as punitive
	damages.  The complaint, which also names as a
	defendant the company that issued a double-A rating
	on the bonds, alleges that Towers engaged in a
	massive fraud against bondholders which, according
	to the complaint, should have been detected at an
	early stage by the bond rating agency and the
	indenture trustee. The Corporation believes that
	its actions were not the cause of any loss by the
	bondholders, and it is vigorously defending the
	action.
	
	Shortly following the announcement on February 21,
	1995 that Fleet Financial Group, Inc. ("Fleet") and
	the Corporation had executed an agreement and plan
	of merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to
	which the Corporation will merge with and into
	Fleet (the "Merger"), certain alleged stockholders
	of the Corporation filed seven purported class
	action lawsuits in the Court of Chancery of the
	State of Delaware in and for New Castle County (the
	"Court") against the Corporation, the members of
	the Corporation's board of directors and Fleet. The
	complaints all make similar allegations concerning
	the proposed Merger. The plaintiffs allege, among
	other things, that the defendants have engaged in a
	plan and scheme to enrich themselves at the expense
	of the Corporation's public stockholders; that the
	defendants have failed to fully disclose the true
	value of the Corporation's assets and earnings
	power and the future financial benefits which the
	defendants expect to derive from the proposed
	Merger; that the defendants have wrongfully failed
	and refused to seek a purchase of the Corporation
	at the highest possible price and have sought to
	chill potential offers for the Corporation; that
	the defendant members of the Corporation's board of
	directors have breached the fiduciary duties owed
	by them to the plaintiffs and the members of the
	purported class; and that defendant Fleet has
	induced and aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary
	duty by the members of the Corporation's board of
	directors. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, a
	
<PAGE> 38
			      
	declaration that the proposed transaction is
	unfair, unjust and inequitable; an injunction
	preliminarily enjoining the defendants from taking
	any steps necessary to accomplish or implement the
	proposed Merger; and an order requiring the
	defendants to compensate plaintiffs and the members
	of the class for all losses and damages suffered
	and to be suffered by them as a result of the acts
	and transactions complained of in the complaints.
	The plaintiffs also seek the award of the costs and
	disbursements of the action, including reasonable
	attorneys', accountants' and experts' fees. The
	defendants believe the allegations contained in the
	complaints are entirely without merit and intend to
	contest them vigorously.
	   
	In addition, an alleged former stockholder of the
	Corporation who claims to have sold shares of the
	Corporation's common stock between December 11,
	1994 and February 21, 1995 filed a purported class
	action lawsuit on behalf of himself and all other
	persons who sold the Corporation's common stock
	between such dates in the United States District
	Court for the Eastern District of New York against
	the Corporation. The plaintiff alleges, among other
	things, that, prior to the execution of the Merger
	Agreement, the Corporation violated Section 10(b)
	of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
	thereunder by disseminating false information
	and/or failing to disclose material facts necessary
	in order not to mislead the investing public and by
	artificially depressing the market price of the
	Corporation's common stock as a result of these
	alleged acts and omissions. In particular, the
	plaintiff alleges that on December 11, 1994 a
	newspaper article reported that Mr. Alvord had
	"stated that a merger for Shawmut was not in the
	cards and that he would be charting a course for
	Shawmut as an independent institution." The
	plaintiff contends that this newspaper article
	constituted a representation by the Corporation,
	that such alleged representation was materially
	false and misleading when made and/or became
	materially misleading, and that the Corporation had
	a duty to correct this alleged representation as
	soon as it believed that the alleged representation
	was no longer accurate. The plaintiff seeks an
	order requiring the Corporation to compensate
	plaintiff and the members of the class for all
	losses and damages suffered by them as a result of
	the acts and omissions complained of in the
	complaint. The plaintiff also seeks an award of the
	costs and disbursements of the action, including
	reasonable attorneys', accountants' and experts'
	fees. The Corporation denies that the newspaper
	article referred to by the plaintiff contains any
	such statement by Mr. Alvord and further believes
	the allegations contained in the complaint are
	entirely without merit and intends to contest them
	vigorously.
	   
	   
	   
<PAGE> 39
	   
	The Corporation is also subject to various other
	pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for
	monetary damages are asserted. Management, after
	consultation with legal counsel, does not
	anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any,
	arising out of such other pending and threatened
	lawsuits will have a material effect on the
	Corporation's results of operations or financial
	condition.
