SHAWMUT NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

Shawmut National Corporation (the "Corporation") reported net income
for the first quarter of 1995 of $62.6 million, or $.47 per common
share, compared with net income of $77.3 million, or $.62 per common
share, for the first quarter of 1994.  Included in first quarter 1995
results was a $36.9 million pre-tax charge ($23.1 million after-tax, or
$.19 per common share) 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 Financial Group, Inc. ("Fleet").
Excluding this charge, net income for the first quarter of 1995 would
have been $85.7 million, or $.66 per common share, an increase of $8.4
million, or 11 percent, from the comparable prior year quarter.

On January 31, 1995, the Corporation completed its purchase of
substantially all the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of
the Business Finance Division of Barclays Business Credit, Inc., which
was renamed Shawmut Capital Corporation.  The book value of the assets
acquired was approximately $2.3 billion and the book value of the
liabilities assumed was approximately $12.7 million.  This acquisition
was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Therefore,
the results of operations of Shawmut Capital Corporation are included
in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements for the first
quarter of 1995 only from the date of purchase.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis for the first quarter
of 1995 was $273.2 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or less than 1
percent, compared with $275.4 million for the first quarter of 1994.
Net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis declined to 3.55
percent from 3.91 percent for the same periods.  Net interest income
and margin declined in the first quarter of 1995 when compared with the
prior year period as a result of rising interest rates, thereby
increasing the Corporation's cost of funds and more than offsetting the
increase in average interest-earning assets of $2.6 billion, or 9
percent, from the comparable prior year period.

There was no provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 1995,
compared with a $3.0 million provision for the first quarter of 1994.
The reserve for credit losses was $559.2 million at March 31, 1995,
compared with $542.1 million at December 31, 1994, reflecting reserves
that were purchased as part of the Shawmut Capital Corporation
acquisition.  The ratio of the reserve for credit losses to nonaccruing
loans was 245 percent at March 31, 1995, compared with 242 percent at
December 31, 1994.

Nonaccruing loans plus foreclosed properties at March 31, 1995 totaled
$240.3 million, down $2.5 million, or 1 percent, from $242.8 million at
December 31, 1994.  The ratio of nonaccruing loans plus foreclosed
properties to loans plus foreclosed properties declined to 1.14 percent
at March 31, 1995 from 1.31 percent at December 31, 1994.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, was $95.4
million for the first quarter of 1995, compared with $89.5 million for
the prior year period, an increase of $5.9 million, or 7 percent.  The
increase in the 1995 period reflects higher customer service and other
fees including revenues from Shawmut Capital Corporation and other
financial institutions purchased during 1994.

Noninterest expenses, excluding foreclosed properties provision and
merger related charges, were $228.7 million for the first quarter of
1995, a decrease of $11.1 million, or 5 percent, from $239.8 million
for the first quarter of 1994. The efficiency ratio, a measure of
operating expenses before special charges to net revenue, improved to
62.0 percent for the first quarter of 1995 from 65.7 percent for the
prior year period.

Return on average common equity decreased from 15.47 percent for the
first quarter of 1994 to 10.98 percent for the first quarter of 1995
and return on average assets decreased from 1.02 percent to .76 percent
over the same periods.  Excluding the merger related charge, return on
average common equity and return on average assets were 15.45 percent
and 1.04 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 1995.

In connection with the acquisition of Shawmut Capital Corporation, 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, on January 26, 1995 and the
Corporation's Shawmut Bank Connecticut subsidiary completed an offering
of $250 million of subordinated bank notes on February 14, 1995.

The Corporation's common stock closed at $26.375 per share on March 31,
1995, representing 155 percent of the $17.06 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 $1.00 par
value Fleet common stock.  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
expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1995, and is subject
to the approval of the common stock shareholders of Fleet and the
Corporation, the receipt of various regulatory approvals, and the
satisfaction (or, where permissible, waiver) of certain other standard
closing conditions.

The Corporation announced in June 1994 the signing of a definitive
agreement to acquire Northeast Federal Corp. of Hartford, Connecticut,
with assets of $3.4 billion at March 31, 1995.  The transaction is
expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1995.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income

The Corporation's taxable-equivalent net interest income was $273.2
million for the first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $2.2 million, or
less than 1 percent, from $275.4 million for the first quarter of 1994.
This decline in taxable-equivalent net interest income was caused by
an increase in the Corporation's cost of funds as a result of rising
interest rates over this period, which outpaced the repricing of higher
levels of interest-earning assets, primarily loans.  Average loans
increased $3.0 billion to $20.2 billion for the first quarter of 1995
from $17.2 billion for the comparable prior year period.  The increase
in average loans included $1.7 billion due to the acquisition of
Shawmut Capital Corporation during the first quarter of 1995 and growth
of $810.2 million in commercial loans and $429.1 million in consumer
lending.  Average securities decreased $420 million to $10.0 billion
for the first quarter of 1995 from $10.4 billion for the first quarter
of 1994 as a result of maturities being used to fund loan growth.
Average interest-bearing liabilities were $26.5 billion for the first
quarter of 1995, compared with $23.8 billion for the first 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 for the first quarter
of 1995 was 3.55 percent, a decrease of 36 basis points from 3.91
percent for the comparable prior year quarter.  Net interest margin for
the fourth quarter of 1994 was 3.65 percent.  The decline in net
interest margin from the first quarter of 1994 reflects the liability
sensitive nature of the Corporation's balance sheet and the rising
interest rate environment over this period, resulting in
interest-bearing liabilities repricing faster than interest-earning
assets.  The Corporation utilizes short-term borrowings as a source of
funding for a portion of its interest-earning assets, including federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  The
average interest rate paid on securities sold under agreements to
repurchase increased from 3.20 percent for the first quarter of 1994 to
5.83 percent for the first quarter of 1995, or an increase of 263 basis
points.  Similarly, the average interest rate paid on federal funds
purchased increased from 3.29 percent to 5.97 percent, or 268 basis
points, over the same period.  In recent quarters, the Corporation has
extended certain funding maturities while shortening asset maturities
to decrease balance sheet liability sensitivity. These risk reduction
activities have also contributed to the decline in net interest margin.
If interest rates continue to increase, the resultant contraction of
the spread between the Corporation's interest-earning assets and
liabilities would continue to reduce net interest margin.  A discussion
of interest rate risk appears on page 11.  An analysis of net interest
margin is presented in Table 3.

Provision for Credit Losses

There was no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 1995.
The provision for credit losses was $3.0 million in the first quarter
of 1994, which reflects the provisions made by acquired institutions.
With continuing increases in reserve coverage of nonaccruing loans and
improving credit quality in the loan portfolio, the Corporation does
not currently anticipate that provisions for credit losses will be
necessary in the first half and possibly all 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 $95.4
million for the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $5.9 million, or
7 percent, from $89.5 million for the first quarter of 1994, reflecting
increases in customer service and other fees as a result of the
acquisition of Shawmut Capital Corporation during the first quarter of
1995 and other financial institutions purchased during 1994.

Customer service fees increased $3.1 million to $51.6 million for the
first quarter of 1995 from $48.5 million for the comparable prior year
period.  Credit and trade related fees increased $2.0 million given
higher levels of customer credit facilities and the two month impact of
Shawmut Capital Corporation.  Deposit transaction and other services
increased $2.4 million due to price increases on consumer transaction
fees in 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
$1.8 million which reflects higher earnings credit rates for customer
deposit balances maintained in lieu of direct payments.

Trust and agency fees increased $1.4 million to $30.8 million for the
first quarter of 1995 from $29.4 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 $15.1 billion at March 31, 1995, compared with
$15.3 billion at March 31, 1994.

Other income increased $1.4 million to $13.0 million for the first
quarter of 1995 from $11.6 million for the first quarter of 1994 as
other income attributed to the Shawmut Capital Corporation acquisition
for the 1995 period was $2.3 million.  This was offset by declines in
gains on residential mortgage loans sales of $1.1 million, reflecting a
lower level of secondary market activity as rising interest rates over
this period continued to slow mortgage originations.

</TABLE>

Noninterest expenses, excluding foreclosed properties provision and
merger related charges, were $228.7 million for the first quarter of
1995, a decrease of $11.1 million, or 5 percent, from $239.8 million
for the first quarter of 1994.  First quarter 1995 noninterest expenses
include $9.0 million attributed to Shawmut Capital Corporation 
since the acquisition date.  Excluding the effects of Shawmut 
Capital Corporation and other purchased financial institutions, 
the decline in noninterest expenses of $28.5 million, or
12 percent, reflects 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 $6.1 million, or 5 percent, 
to $119.7 million for the first quarter of 1995 from $125.8 million for 
the comparable prior year period.  First quarter 1995 amounts include 
$5.9 million attributed to Shawmut Capital Corporation since the 
acquisition date and approximately $2.9 million of stock incentive plan 
adjustments which reflect the increase in the Corporation's common stock 
price during the quarter that was influenced by the announcement of the 
agreement to merge with Fleet.  Excluding these two items, compensation 
and benefits expense decreased $14.9 million, or 12 percent, attributable 
to reductions in personnel from the cost management initiatives and
acquisition consolidations discussed above.  Full-time equivalent
employees totaled 9,536 at March 31, 1995, compared with 11,002 at
March 31, 1994.

Advertising expense was $6.0 million for the first quarter of 1995, up
$1.5 million from $4.5 million for the prior year period as the
Corporation has increased marketing activities and related initiatives
for financial services products in its marketplace.  Goodwill
amortization increased $2.3 million for the first quarter of 1995 from
$1.7 million for the first quarter of 1994, reflecting goodwill
associated with the acquisition of Shawmut Capital Corporation as well
as other financial institutions purchased in the latter part of 1994.

Foreclosed properties expense declined $2.1 million, or 57 percent, to
$1.6 million for the first quarter of 1995 from $3.7 million in the
comparable prior year quarter.  There was no provision for foreclosed
properties for the first quarter of 1995, compared with $2.0 million
for the first quarter of 1994.  The decline in foreclosed properties
expense and provision reflects the continued decline in the level of
foreclosed properties at March 31, 1995 from the comparable prior year
period.

<PAGE> 8

Merger related charges of $36.9 million relate 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.  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 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  Accrued merger and restructuring expenses totaled
$9.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively, at March 31, 1995.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 1995 was $37.4
million, representing an effective income tax rate of 37.4 percent. The
provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 1994, prior to a
reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.5
million, was $40.6 million, or an effective income tax rate of 34.9
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 Corporation's net deferred federal tax asset at March 31, 1995 was
$153.3 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 March 31, 1995 would be
approximately $410 million.  Deferred state taxes, net of related
federal tax, totaled $92.0 million at March 31, 1995 and were reduced
in their entirety by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Total assets at March 31, 1995 were $34.2 billion, up $1.8 billion, or
6 percent, from $32.4 billion at December 31, 1994.

Total loans were $21.1 billion at March 31, 1995, an increase of $2.6
billion, or 14 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, approximately ninety
percent of which were to borrowers located outside of New England.
Commercial and industrial loans increased from $7.0 billion at year-end
to $9.6 billion at March 31, 1995, due to the acquisition of Shawmut
Capital Corporation and modest growth in core lending sectors such as
financial institutions and national banking. Consumer lending, which
includes residential mortgage, home equity and installment loans,
decreased $44.0 million, or less than 1 percent, from year-end to $8.6
billion.  Owner-occupied real estate loans increased from $1.4 billion
at year-end to $1.6 billion at March 31, 1995, an increase of $152.5
million, primarily due to loans added as part of the Shawmut Capital
Corporation acquisition.  Investor/developer real estate loans declined
by $98.6 million from year-end, reflecting a selective reduction in
certain segments of this portfolio.

<PAGE> 9

The Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio with the commercial
and industrial portfolio representing 46 percent of total loans at
March 31, 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 10 and by type in Tables 13 through 16.  A
discussion of the credit quality of the Corporation's loan portfolio
begins on page 15.

Total securities decreased $119.0 million, or 1 percent, to $9.9
billion at March 31, 1995 from $10.0 billion at December 31, 1994.
Securities classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized
cost decreased $202.0 million to $7.8 billion at March 31, 1995 from
$8.0 billion at December 31, 1994.  Securities classified as available
for sale totaled $2.1 billion at March 31, 1995, compared with $2.0
billion at December 31, 1994.  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 2.12 years and 2.27
years, respectively, at March 31, 1995 compared with 1.36 years and
2.37 years, respectively, at December 31, 1994. The increase in
duration of the available for sale securities portfolio from year-end
1994 was primarily due to first quarter 1995 settlements of interest
rate futures contracts used to manage interest rate exposure.
Additional information regarding the Corporation's securities portfolio
is presented in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on
page 27.

Total deposits at March 31, 1995 were $20.6 billion, down $144.7
million, or less than 1 percent, from $20.7 billion at year-end 1994.
Demand deposits decreased by $1.2 billion, or 23 percent, to $4.0
billion at March 31, 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 $16.9
billion at March 31, 1995, compared with $18.3 billion at December 31,
1994.  Domestic time deposits were $7.1 billion at March 31, 1995, up
$1.0 billion, or 16 percent, from year-end 1994, reflecting the
continued 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.  Foreign
time deposits were $1.5 billion at March 31, 1995, up $576.3 million,
or 66 percent, from year-end 1994, and were used to fund a portion of
the Shawmut Capital Corporation acquisition.

Other borrowings, primarily securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and federal funds purchased, increased $1.3 billion to $8.4
billion at March 31, 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 $2.4 billion at March 31, 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 March 31, 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 liability
sensitive in the amount of $1.3 billion at March 31, 1995.  A liability
sensitive interest rate gap would tend to reduce earnings over a period
of rising interest rates, while declining rates would enhance 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 liability sensitive gap
at March 31, 1995 would increase from $1.3 billion to $1.6 billion 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 increase in interest rates, the effect on
net interest income would be a reduction of approximately $8.5 million
when compared with the amount of net interest income assumed to be
earned absent such an interest rate increase for the twelve-month
period following March 31, 1995.

<PAGE> 11

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 above for purposes of analyzing interest rate risk.

At March 31, 1995, the Corporation had approximately $3.6 billion in
notional amounts of interest rate swap agreements outstanding utilized
for the management of interest rate risk, a decrease of $75 million
from $3.7 billion at December 31, 1994.  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 March 31, 1995, the Corporation had approximately $1.0 billion in
notional amounts of purchased interest rate cap agreements outstanding.
In addition, approximately $1.0 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 March 31, 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 exposure.  The notional amounts of futures
contracts sold at March 31, 1995 were approximately $1.9 billion, a
decrease of $4.1 billion from $6.0 billion at December 31, 1994, due to
contract settlements during the first quarter of 1995.  At March 31,
1995, the Corporation had entered into U.S. Treasury rate futures
contracts with approximately $246 million in notional amounts to manage
the risk associated with the available for sale securities portfolio.
The unrealized loss of approximately $1.0 million at March 31, 1995
relating to these contracts has been recorded as part of the fair value
of these securities.  The remaining $1.6 billion in notional amounts of
futures contracts are used to manage interest rate risk on the
Corporation's funding sources.  The unrealized gain related to these
Eurodollar futures contracts at March 31, 1995, which has been
deferred, was approximately $6.0 million.  Maturities of the notional
amounts of futures contracts sold are as follows: $.9 billion in 1995;
$.6 billion in 1996; and $.1 billion in 1997.

Activity for interest rate agreements utilized for the management of 
interest rate risk for the first three months 1995 follows:

The fair value of interest rate instruments at March 31, 1995, which
exclude exchange-traded futures contracts, was approximately $10.7
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 $29.1 million at March 31, 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 March 31, 1995, UPFs were $4.1 billion.  This was
offset by $3.6 billion in short-term investments and unused repurchase
agreement collateral, leaving the Corporation with an excess of UPFs
over short-term investments and unused repurchase agreement collateral
of $.5 billion.  Short-term investments and unused repurchase agreement
collateral exceeded the volume of UPFs by $1.5 billion at December 31,
1994.  During the first 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.  Bank note issuances totaled $1.4 
billion at March 31, 1995.  On April 27, 1995, the banks established a 
$3.0 billion bank note program which will provide for future bank 
note issuances.

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 $226.4 million and notes and debentures of $749.3 million
at March 31, 1995.  The parent company had cash and cash equivalents at
March 31, 1995 of $352.3 million and securities with a fair value of
$264.8 million. There are no scheduled maturities on notes and
debentures in 1995.  Scheduled maturities are $150 million in both 1996
and 1997.

Capital

The Corporation's total shareholders' equity at March 31, 1995 was $2.4
billion, or 6.98 percent of total assets, compared with $2.2 billion,
or 6.78 percent of total assets, at December 31, 1994, an increase of
$187.9 million.  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 three
months of 1995 also reflects a $16.9 million decline in the net
after-tax unrealized loss on the Corporation's $2.1 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.

The Corporation's Risk-based capital and Leverage ratios were as
follows:

The Corporation's Risk-based Tier 1 and Total capital ratios were 7.37
percent and 11.24 percent at March 31, 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 6.21 percent at March 31, 1995, compared with 6.62 percent
at December 31, 1994.  The decline in the Risk-based capital and Leverage
ratios during the first quarter of 1995 was due to the increase
in risk-weighted and other assets as a result of the acquisition of
Shawmut Capital Corporation.  Tier 1 capital reflects the issuance of
the preferred stock offering while Total capital includes the issuance
of Shawmut Bank Connecticut subordinated bank notes.  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 March 31,
1995.

The reserve for credit losses was $559.2 million at March 31, 1995,
compared with $542.1 million at December 31, 1994.  The increase of
$17.1 million reflects the addition of $41.7 million of reserves
purchased as part of the Shawmut Capital Corporation acquisition after
net loan charge-offs of $24.6 million for the quarter.  The ratio of
the reserve for credit losses to loans was 2.65 percent at March 31,
1995, compared with 2.93 percent at December 31, 1994.  An analysis of
the Corporation's credit loss experience is presented in Table 17.  Net
charge-offs were $24.6 million for the first quarter of 1995, equal to
an annualized rate of .49 percent of average loans, compared with $33.7
million and .78 percent for the same period a year ago.  A discussion
of the provision for credit losses is presented on page 6.

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.  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 the accounting standard.  A further discussion of
the adoption of FAS 114 is included in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on page 28.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Shawmut National Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation").  These
financial statements reflect, in management's opinion, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of the Corporation's financial position and results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented.  Certain amounts for prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to current period presentation.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and

NOTE 2 - MERGER  AND ACQUISITIONS

Completed Acquisition

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 three-month periods ended March 31,
1995 and 1994 as if the Shawmut Capital Corporation acquisition had occurred
at the beginning of the periods presented.  In addition to combining the
historical results of operations of the Corporation and Shawmut Capital
Corporation, the pro forma information reflects adjustments for the estimated
effects of purchase accounting.  The pro forma information may not be
indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the
acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented.

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 $1.00 par
value common stock of Fleet.
<PAGE> 26

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.  The Merger
is subject to the approval of the common stock shareholders of Fleet
and the Corporation, the receipt of various regulatory approvals, and
the satisfaction (or, where permissible, waiver) of certain other
standard closing conditions.

Pending Acquisition

In June 1994, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire
Northeast Federal Corp. ("Northeast"). Northeast is a unitary savings
and loan holding company which provides financial services through
its subsidiary, Northeast Savings, F.A.  As of March 31, 1995,
Northeast had assets of $3.4 billion, deposits of $2.5 billion and
stockholders' equity of $146.2 million.  Northeast has 33 offices
located in Connecticut, Massachusetts and upstate New York.  Pursuant
to the agreement, Northeast stockholders will receive shares of the
Corporation's common stock in exchange for Northeast shares in
accordance with the exchange ratio provisions set forth therein,
subject to a minimum exchange ratio of .415 and a maximum exchange
ratio of .507.  The Northeast transaction may be terminated if the
transaction is not consummated on or before June  30, 1995 or if the
Corporation's common stock average price, as defined, is less than
$21.465 per share for the fifteen consecutive full trading days prior
to the date on which the last regulatory approval required to
consummate the transaction has been obtained and all statutory
waiting periods have expired and, therefore, resulting in Northeast
stockholders receiving less than $10.875 of the Corporation's common
stock.  The transaction is expected to be completed in the second
quarter of 1995.

</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 the 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 March 31, 1995 the recorded
investment in impaired loans, excluding consumer amounts, was $176.1
million.  Nonaccruing loans included in other assets held for
accelerated disposition totaled $15.6 million at March 31, 1995.
Impairment reserves at March 31, 1995, determined in accordance with
FAS 114 and included as part of the Corporation's reserve for credit
losses, approximated $7.4 million.  At March 31, 1995, approximately
$98.1 million of impaired loans which have been subjected to a
specific review did not require an impairment reserve, due primarily
to charge-offs.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans,
excluding consumer amounts, during the quarter ended March 31, 1995
was $181.1 million.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the amount
of interest income recognized on impaired loans was immaterial.
<PAGE> 29

Restructured loans are loans with original terms which have been
modified as a result of a change in the borrowers 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 March 31, 1995 restructured
loans totaled $29.8 million.  There were no loans included in this
amount that were restructured subsequent to January 1, 1995.

                          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 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 
<PAGE> 36

           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.
                       
           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.
