                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 2000
                                   (Unaudited)
Note A - Basis of Presentation

         The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived
         from the audited financial statements at that date. The accompanying
         unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
         adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) which are,
         in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
         results for the interim periods presented. The statements should be
         read in conjunction with the summary of accounting policies and notes
         to consolidated financial statements included in the Registrant's
         annual report for the year ended December 31, 1999. Certain information
         and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         have been omitted in accordance with the rules of the Securities and
         Exchange Commission. During third quarter, 1999, the Company acquired
         First Financial Corporation of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, and
         Nashville-based Southeastern Mortgage of Tennessee. During first
         quarter, 2000, the Company acquired Piedmont Bancorp, Inc. of
         Hillsborough, North Carolina. These acquisitions, which were accounted
         for using the pooling-of-interest method, are incorporated into
         reported results. For comparative purposes, all prior year results are
         restated to include these acquisitions. Reported results do not include
         the results of CCB Financial Corporation, with whom the Company merged
         on July 5, 2000 in a merger of equals transaction accounted for using
         the pooling-of-interests method, and the results of FMT Holdings, Inc.
         which the Company acquired by merger on July 27, 2000 in a transaction
         accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method.


Note B - Segment Information

         The Company operates three principal lines of business. The commercial
         banking segment includes lending and related financial services
         provided to large and medium-sized corporations. Included among these
         services are several specialty services such as real estate finance,
         asset based lending and residential construction.

         The retail banking segment includes sales and distribution of financial
         products and services to individuals. These products and services
         include loan products such as residential mortgages, home equity
         lending, automobile and other personal financing needs. Retail banking
         also offers various deposit products that are designed for customers'
         saving and transaction needs.

         The other financial services segment includes investment management,
         non-deposit based funding, interest rate risk management, transaction
         processing, in-store consulting/licensing, securities brokerage and
         specialty leasing.

         The accounting policies of the individual segments are the same as
         those of the Company described in Note A. Transactions between business
         segments are conducted at fair value and are eliminated for reporting
         consolidated financial position and results of operations. Interest
         income for tax-exempt loans and securities is adjusted to a taxable
         equivalent basis.

         Each segment's balance sheet is adjusted to reflect its net funding
         position. Assets are increased if excess funds are provided;
         liabilities are increased if funds are needed to support assets. Each
         segment's net interest income is affected by the internal transfer rate
         assigned to its net funding position, which rate is equivalent to the
         Company's average external cost of funds. Interest income for
         tax-exempt loans and securities is adjusted to a taxable equivalent
         basis.

         Expenses for centrally provided services such as deposit servicing,
         data processing, technology and loan servicing and underwriting are
         allocated to each segment based upon various statistical information.
         Other indirect costs, such as management

                                       4
<PAGE>

         overhead and corporate support, are also allocated to each segment
         based upon various statistical information. The portion of the
         provision for loan losses that is not related to specific net
         charge-offs is allocated to the segment based upon loan growth. There
         are no significant intersegment revenues.

         Performance is assessed primarily on net interest margin by the chief
         operating decision makers.

         The following tables (in thousands of dollars) present condensed income
         statements on a fully taxable equivalent basis and average assets for
         each reportable segment.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on important factors affecting the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. Reference should be
made to the consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) set
forth in this report for an understanding of the following discussion and
analysis. In this discussion, net interest income and net interest margin are
presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis. During third quarter, 1999, the
Company acquired First Financial Corporation of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, and
Nashville-based Southeastern Mortgage of Tennessee. During second quarter, 2000,
the Company acquired Piedmont Bancorp, Inc. of Hillsborough, North Carolina.
These acquisitions, which were accounted for using the pooling-of-interest
method, are incorporated into reported results. For comparative purposes, all
prior year results are restated to include these acquisitions. All per share
data is adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and stock splits declared. On
July 5, 2000, the Company merged with CCB Financial Corporation, with the
Company as the surviving entity. Because the merger occurred after June 30,
2000, the historical financial statements included in this report do not give
effect to the merger, nor does this discussion give effect to the merger.

         The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act")
provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of
the Company. All statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts or that express expectations or projections with respect to
future matters are "forward-looking statements" for the purpose of the safe
harbor provided by the Act. The Company cautions readers that such
"forward-looking statements," including, without limitation, those relating to
future business initiatives and prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity,
capital needs, interest costs and income, and "Year 2000" remediation efforts,
wherever they occur in this document or in other statements attributable to the
Company, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of the Company's
senior management. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the
"forward-looking statements." Such "forward-looking statements" should,
therefore be considered in light of various important factors, including those
set forth in this document. Important factors currently known to management that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking
statements include significant fluctuations in interest rates, inflation,
economic recession, significant changes in the federal and state legal and
regulatory environment, significant underperformance in the Company's portfolio
of outstanding loans, difficulty in integrating the operations of the Company
and CCB Financial Corporation, lower than expected cost savings following the
Company's merger with CCB Financial Corporation and competition in the Company's
markets. Other factors set forth from time to time in the Company's reports and
registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission should
also be considered. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise
forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of
unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

Financial Condition

         Following is a comparison of the June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
consolidated balance sheets.

         In the asset section, total loans, net of unearned discounts, increased
by $172 million or 4.2% compared to December 31, 1999 levels. Commercial loans
increased by $15 million or 2.2%, real estate construction loans increased by
$19 million or 6.7%, and real estate mortgage loans increased by $152 million or
8.8% reflecting current demand. Consumer loans decreased $17 million or 1.3%.

         Securities increased by $240 million or 10.3% from year-end 1999.
Securities held to maturity increased by $162 million or 9.2%, and securities
available for sale increased by $78 million or 13.4%, reflecting current
portfolio investment strategies, and current market conditions.

         Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell


                                       8
<PAGE>

decreased by $27 million or 43.4% from December 31, 1999 levels, reflecting
levels of activity of correspondent banks at June 30, 2000.

         Trading account securities increased by $7 million or 24.3% from
year-end 1999 levels. This increase reflects the trading activity generated by
NBC Capital Markets Group, Inc., the Company's broker/dealer subsidiary, which
fluctuates from time to time.

         Broker/dealer customer receivables increased $1 million or 4.9%.

         In the liability section, total deposits increased by $140 million or
3.0%, principally as a result of a $174 million or 12.5% increase in
certificates of deposit greater than $100,000, a $39 million or 4.0% increase in
certificates of deposit less than $100,000 and a $54 million or 11.7% increase
in non-interest-bearing deposits. This increase was partially offset by a $108
million or 8.9% decrease in money market savings accounts, and a $20 million or
4.7% decrease in money market checking accounts.

         Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase increased $292 million or 33.1% from year-end 1999 levels. This
category of liabilities fluctuates with the availability of overnight funds
purchased from downstream correspondent banks.

         Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $22 million or 3.0% from
December 31, 1999. This increase is principally the result of asset/liability
management decisions related to the current interest rate environment.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30 2000, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

         Net income was $29,540,000 for the second quarter of 2000 a 14.8%
increase over the $25,727,000 for the same period a year earlier. Diluted
earnings per share were $.27, compared to $.24 per share in 1999, up 12.5%.
Basic earnings per share were $.27, compared to $.24 per share in 1999, up
12.5%.

         Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans
and investments and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, increased by
$2,175,000 or 3.5% for the second quarter of 2000, compared to second quarter
1999. This increase reflects a $23,289,000 or 19.6% increase in total interest
income that more than offsets a $21,114,000 or 37.1% increase in interest
expense. Interest income increased in 2000 due to an increase of $868,852,000 or
14.3% in total average earning assets, and an increase in the yield on average
earning assets from 7.87% in the second quarter of 1999 to 8.25% in the second
quarter of 2000. The increased volume of earning assets increased interest
income by approximately $17,038,000 while the increased yield increased interest
income by approximately $6,251,000. Interest expense increased in the second
quarter of 2000, reflecting an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities
of $775,000 or 14.5% and an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities
from 4.28% to 5.14%. The increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities increased interest expense by approximately $12,841,000 and the
increase in average outstandings increased interest expense by approximately
$8,273,000. The net interest margin (taxable equivalent net interest income as a
percentage of average earning assets) was 3.72% in second quarter 1999, compared
to 4.10% in second quarter of 1999.

         The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2000 was
$2,030,000, versus $3,988,000 for the second quarter of 1999. Net charge-offs
were $2,023,000, or .19% of average net loans, compared to $1,999,000 or .23% of
average net loans in 1999. The allowance for loan losses totaled $62,064,000 at
June 30, 2000, representing 1.45% of quarter-end net loans, compared to
$59,050,000 or 1.45% of quarter-end net loans at March 31, 2000.

         Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, totaled
$25,908,000 for the quarter, a decrease of $798,000, or 3.0%, from last year's
second quarter. Securities gains totaled $249,000 in second quarter, 1999,
compared to a loss of $2,135,000 in 1999. Non-interest expenses (excluding the
provision for loan losses) decreased by $136,000 or .3% in second quarter, 2000.

         The Company's return on average assets and return on average equity
were 1.60% and 20.24% respectively, for second quarter of 2000. These compared
with 1999 second quarter returns of 1.59% and 21.27%, respectively.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2000, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

         For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net income totaled $58,969,000,
a 15.7% increase over the $50,952,000 for the first six months of 1999. Diluted
earnings per share were $.53, compared to $.47 for the same period in 1999, a
12.8% increase. Basic earnings per share were $.54 compared to $.48 in 1999, a
12.5% increase. For the six-month period, return on average assets and return on
average stockholders' equity were 1.62% and 20.25% respectively. These compared
with 1999 six month returns of 1.61% and 22.14%.

         Net interest income increased by $8,339,000 or 6.8% for the first six
months of 2000. This increase reflects a $44,964,000 or 19.2% increase in total
interest income that more than offsets a $36,625,000 or 32.7% increase in
interest expense. Interest income increased in 2000 due to an increase of
$953,158,000 or 16.1% in total average earning assets and an increase in the
yield on average earning assets from 7.99% in 1999 to 8.18% in 2000. The
increased volume of earning assets increased interest income by approximately
$37,777,000, and the increased yield increased interest income by approximately
$7,187,000. Interest expense increased in the first six months of 2000
reflecting an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $865,373,000
or 16.6%, with the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing from 4.34% to
4.93% in 2000. The increase in average outstandings increased interest expense
by approximately $18,638,000 and the increased rate increased interest expense
by approximately $17,987,,000. The net interest margin was 3.82% in the first
six months of 2000, compared to 4.17% in the first six months of 1999.

         The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2000 was
$4,217,000, versus $6,530,000 for the first six months of 1999. Net charge-offs
were $4,708,000, or .11% of average net loans compared to $4,022,000, or .12% of
average net loans in 1999.

         Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, totaled
$50,241,000 for the first six months of 2000 compared to a total of $48,372,000
for the first six months of 1999, an increase of 3.9%. Included in 1999 is a
$4,009,000 pre-tax gain from the sale of branches. Adjusting for this gain,
non-interest income increased 13.2% over 1999. Securities gains totaled $327,000
in 2000, compared to a

                                       10
<PAGE>

loss of $2,116,000 in 1999.

         Non-interest expenses (excluding the provision for loan losses)
increased by $2,405,000 or 3.0% for the first six months of 2000. Increased
employment and occupancy expenses relating to new products and locations, and
increased promotional expenses of new loan and deposit gathering campaigns were
the primary reasons for the increase.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Interest-bearing bank balances, federal funds sold, trading account
securities, and securities available for sale are the principal sources of
short-term asset liquidity. Other sources of short-term liquidity include
federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, credit lines with other
banks, and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan
Bank. Maturing loans and securities are the principal sources of long-term asset
liquidity.

         Total realized stockholders' equity increased by $15,297,000 from
December 31, 1999. Retained earnings accounted for the majority of the increase.
Through June 30, 2000, 9.3 million shares had been repurchased and cancelled
under a stock repurchase program initiated in January, 1996, extended in
December, 1997 and December, 1999.

         The following capital ratios do not include the effect of FAS No. 115
or FAS No. 133 on Tier I capital, total capital, or total risk-weighted assets.

         As indicated in the following table, the Company and its banking
subsidiaries exceeded all minimum required capital ratios for well-capitalized
institutions at June 30, 2000.
