MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
CRESTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

This commentary provides an overview of Crestar Financial Corporation's
(Crestar or the Corporation) financial condition, changes in financial
condition and results of operations for the years 1992 through 1994. The
following discussion should assist readers in their analysis of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and supplemental
financial information.

EARNINGS OVERVIEW

Crestar Financial Corporation reported net income of $169.1 million in
1994, an increase of $28.6 million or 20% over 1993 results. Net income
for 1993 of $140.5 million represented an increase of 76% over net
income recorded in 1992. These increases reflected the continued
positive effects of lower credit costs, improved net interest margins,
growth in earning assets and noninterest income, and management of
controllable expenses.

          The key profitability measures of return on average assets
(ROA) and return on average total shareholders' equity (ROE) improved in
1994 over 1993 as a result of the significantly increased earnings.
These ratios, along with other selected earnings and balance sheet
information for each of the years in the five-year period ended December
31, 1994, are shown in Table 1.

          Primary earnings per share of $4.47 in 1994 increased 21% over 1993
following an increase of 59% in 1992. Significant items affecting the change in
primary earnings per share for 1994 and 1993 are

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

Crestar continued to enhance its presence in current markets through the
completion of seven acquisitions in 1994, and the announcement of three
additional acquisitions, two of which were completed in January 1995, all
accounted for by the purchase method.

          On January 11, 1994, Crestar Mortgage Corporation acquired
Mortgage Capital Corporation, a privately held wholesale mortgage
production company based in St. Paul, Minnesota, for a purchase price of
$5.2 million. Under terms of the purchase agreement, an additional $2.4
million may be paid to the former owners, depending on the future
performance of Mortgage Capital Corporation's operations through 1999.
With production offices in Illinois, Colorado, Florida and Ohio, the
purchase expands Crestar Mortgage Corporation's national wholesale
mortgage production operations. Crestar Financial Corporation's
additional six acquisitions in 1994, two acquisitions completed in
January 1995, and one pending acquisition are summarized in the
following chart:

          On January 20, 1995, Crestar completed the previously announced
acquisitions of Jefferson Savings and Loan Association, F.A. (Jefferson Savings)
and Independent Bank. Jefferson Savings, a Warrenton, Virginia based thrift
institution, represents Crestar's first operations in Warrenton, Culpeper, Front
Royal and Luray, while further strengthening Crestar's market position in
Charlottesville and Loudon County. The purchase of Independent Bank, a
Manassas-based commercial bank, added four banking offices in Prince William
County, enhancing Crestar's leading market position in one of Virginia's fastest
growing areas.

          Crestar's acquisition of TideMark Bancorp, Inc. (TideMark) is
expected to be completed in March 1995. TideMark, based in Newport News,
Virginia, had 12 branches in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area and total
assets of $394 million at December 31, 1994. TideMark was the oldest and largest
financial institution headquartered in the Virginia Peninsula area of eastern
Virginia.

          Each of the seven acquisitions completed in 1994 have been
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, whereby the purchase
price has been allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.
Crestar's 1994 results include the results of operations of the acquired
institutions from the date of their respective purchase. Financial results for
1994 do not include the results of the three 1995 purchase method acquisitions
(Jefferson Savings, Independent Bank and TideMark). Financial statement note 2
contains additional information concerning mergers and acquisitions.

COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDENDS

On December 31, 1994, Crestar's common stock price was $37 5/8, down 10%
from the December 31, 1993 closing price of $41 7/8. Declines were noted
in many financial institution stocks during 1994, as increases in
interest rates led many investors to make stock portfolio changes. The

Index is a composite of bank stocks tracked by Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, Inc.,
a widely known banking industry analyst and investment banking company.

          Book value per common share was $30.16 at December 31, 1994,
and represented a 6% increase over Crestar's December 31, 1993 book
value per share. The ratio of year-end market value to book value was
1.25x at December 31, 1994. Total market capitalization at December 31,
1994 was $1.4 billion. On the basis of 1994 earnings per share of $4.47
and the year-end market price of $37 5/8, the December 31, 1994
price/earnings ratio was 8.4x.

          Dividends declared in 1994 were $1.53 per common share, an
increase of 34% when compared with dividends declared of $1.14 per share
in 1993. Reflecting improved earnings, the common dividend was increased
during the second quarter of 1994. The current quarterly dividend of
$.40 represents an annualized dividend of $1.60, equating to a yield of
4.25% based on the year-end market price. The Corporation's objective is
to pay dividends of approximately 30% to 40% of earnings to common
shareholders. Common dividends declared in 1994 were 34% of net income
available to common shareholders compared with 31% in 1993.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ADEQUACY

Crestar's capital position continued to strengthen as evidenced by significant
equity growth and strong capital ratios. Average shareholders' equity grew 6%,
24% and 6% in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Equity growth in 1994 is
attributable to the record earnings of the Corporation, partially offset by
Crestar's purchase and retirement of 1.1 million shares of common stock and by
the negative impact of reflecting net unrealized losses on securities available
for sale as a component of shareholders' equity (further discussion of this
accounting change is included in "Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity" and in
financial statement note 1). In addition, in December 1993, $45 million in
preferred stock was redeemed. During 1994, Crestar purchased and retired
1,120,300 shares of common stock at an average price of $43.25 per share,
primarily to meet the needs of the dividend reinvestment plan and thrift and
profit sharing plan, the June 1994 Annapolis Bancorp, Inc. acquisition, and in
anticipation of common stock to be issued for acquisitions occurring in the
first quarter of 1995. The 1993 increase in average shareholders' equity was
primarily attributable to higher earnings, the issuance of common stock in
connection with the CFS Financial Corporation acquisition, and the October 1992
public issuance of 3.5 million common shares which was not fully reflected in
average shareholders' equity until 1993. The Corporation purchased and retired
522,300 shares of common stock at an average price of $40.31 per share during
1993. The Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity provide
details of these and other equity transactions.

          Crestar's equity to assets ratio at December 31, 1994 was 8.04%,
compared to a ratio of 8.00% at December 31, 1993. The average equity to assets
ratio was 8.06% for 1994, compared to 8.25% for 1993. The year-end equity
leverage ratio (defined as average total assets divided by average total
shareholders' equity) increased slightly, from 12.12x in 1993 to 12.40x in 1994.

1993 are shown in Table 3. A key measure of equity's ability to absorb
losses is the ratio of average equity to average loans. Despite
significant loan growth and the Corporation's common stock repurchase
program, this measure continued to reflect Crestar's capital strength,
totaling 13.23% for 1994, compared to 15.19% for 1993 and 12.48% for
1992. The equity formation rate (calculated as net income less dividends
declared divided by average total equity) increased to 10.15% in 1994
from 9.24% in 1993.

          Risk-based capital ratios are another measure of capital
adequacy. At December 31, 1994, Crestar's consolidated risk-adjusted
capital ratios were 9.4% for Tier 1 and 13.3% for total capital, well
above the required minimums of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. These ratios
are calculated using regulatory capital (either Tier 1 or total capital)
as the numerator and both on- and off-balance sheet risk-weighted assets
as the denominator. Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common equity
less goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Total capital adds
certain qualifying debt instruments and a portion of the allowance for
loan losses to Tier 1 capital. One of four risk weights, primarily based
on credit risk, is applied to both on- and off-balance sheet assets to
determine the asset denominator. Under Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) rules, each of Crestar's three subsidiary banks was
considered "well-capitalized," the highest category of capitalization
defined by the regulators allowing for the lowest level of FDIC
insurance premium rates, as of December 31, 1994.

          Additional regulatory capital measures include the Tier 1
leverage ratio and the tangible leverage ratio. The Tier 1 leverage
ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets less
goodwill and certain other intangibles and has a regulatory minimum of
3.0%, with most institutions required to maintain a ratio of at least
4.0% to 5.0%, depending primarily upon risk profiles. At December 31,
1994, Crestar's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.9%. The tangible leverage
ratio is calculated by excluding intangibles from both assets and
capital and is utilized by the Federal Reserve Board in evaluating
proposals for expansion or acquisitions. At December 31, 1994, Crestar's
tangible leverage ratio was 7.2%, well within accepted Federal Reserve
Board ranges.

          A double leverage ratio of over 100% measures the extent to which
the equity capital of subsidiaries is supported by Parent Company debt rather
than equity. Calculated as the investment in its subsidiaries divided by its own
equity accounts, Crestar Financial Corporation's double leverage was 99.9% at
December 31, 1994, compared to 96.8% at December 31, 1993. Financial statement
note 21 contains Parent Company financial statements.

          In November 1994, Crestar sold $150 million of 8 3/4%
subordinated notes due November 15, 2004. Net of underwriting discounts,
the notes resulted in proceeds of $148.6 million to the Corporation at
an effective interest rate of 8.79%. Proceeds from the sale of the notes
have been utilized for general corporate purposes, including the cash
requirements for first quarter 1995 acquisitions. The subordinated
notes, which qualify as a component of total capital for the
Corporation's risk-adjusted capital ratios, were issued under a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Under the remaining terms of the shelf registration, the Corporation
may issue in the future up to $150 million in subordinated debt
securities, preferred stock or common stock, or any combination thereof.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN

The fundamental source of Crestar's earnings, net interest income, is defined as
the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting
those assets. Significant categories of earning assets are loans and securities
while deposits and short-term borrowings represent the major portion of
interest-bearing liabilities. The level of net interest income is impacted
primarily by variations in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities,
as well as changes in the levels of interest rates.

          Net interest income in Table 4 is presented on a
tax-equivalent basis to enhance the comparability of assets with
different tax attributes. This comparability is achieved through
increasing interest income on tax-exempt assets by an amount equal to
the Federal income taxes which would have been paid had the income been
fully taxable. This tax-equivalent adjustment is based on the applicable
statutory federal corporate income tax rate and resulted in an increase
to pre-tax income from earning assets in 1994, 1993 and 1992 of $10.9
million, $12.6 million and $16.0 million, respectively. On a
tax-equivalent basis, net interest income increased $53.1 million or 10%
in 1994 following a $41.5 million or 8% rise in 1993.

</TABLE>

(1) Income and yields are computed on a tax-equivalent basis using the statutory
federal income tax rate, exclusive of the alternative minimum tax and
nondeductible interest expense, and the tax-equivalent adjustment to interest
income was $10.9 million, $12.6 million and $16.0 million for 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively

(2) Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loan balances and income on
such loans is recognized on a cash basis

These increases reflect an increase in average earning
assets of 9% in 1994 and 6% in 1993.

       The net interest margin is calculated as tax-equivalent net
interest income divided by average earning assets and represents the
Corporation's net yield on its earning assets. In 1994, the net interest
margin of 4.83% improved five basis points from 4.78% in 1993.
Significant items affecting the change in the net interest margin from
1993 to 1994 are summarized in Table 5. Positive influences on the 1994
margin include favorable changes in the composition of balance sheet
earning assets and lower levels of nonperforming assets. Changes in
balance sheet mix increased the 1994 net interest margin by
approximately 22 basis points. Loans as a percentage of total earning
assets increased from an average of 61% in 1993 to 68% in 1994, as
growth in loans were partially funded from declining levels of
investment securities. On the funding side, reduced short-term
borrowings coupled with growth in free sources of funds (primarily
shareholders' equity and net demand deposits) provided a two basis point
benefit to the

1994 net interest margin.

         As nonperforming assets continued to decline, a corresponding decrease
occurred in their negative impact on the net interest margin. The lower levels
of nonperforming assets in 1994 had a favorable impact on the net interest
margin of approximately five basis points. Additional income of approximately
$12.8 million for 1994 and $9.3 million for 1993 would have been realized had
all nonperforming assets performed as originally expected.



         The benefits from off-balance sheet hedging activities (primarily
interest rate swaps) declined in 1994 compared with 1993 as the notional
principal balance on favorable swaps was reduced, due to maturities and
amortization in 1994, and due to an environment of rising interest rates during
the year. Off-balance sheet hedging activities contributed $18.3 million to net
interest income in 1994, compared with $34.3 million in 1993. The reduction
equated to a 16 basis point negative impact on the 1994 net interest

margin as compared to 1993 results. An additional negative impact on the net
interest margin for 1994 stemmed from changes in interest rates received on
earning assets and paid on funding sources. Such changes in interest rates
contributed a negative impact of seven basis points in comparison to 1993
average interest rates. Driving this impact were declines in average rates
earned on real estate mortgages and instalment loans, and the maturity of
higher-yielding fixed rate securities during 1994. Competitive marketing
programs have also resulted in a decline in the average rate earned on bank card
loans, from 13.67% in 1993 to 11.94% in 1994. The average rate paid on total
savings and time deposits was 3.13% in 1994, compared to 3.14% for 1993. Rate
increases on money market deposit accounts and money market certificates were
offset by declines in average rates paid on interest checking deposits, regular
savings deposits and other domestic time deposits during the year.

          Acquisitions completed during 1994 added over $25 million to Crestar's
1994 net interest income. While these seven acquisitions, in the aggregate, were
accretive to the Corporation's earnings per share for 1994, they negatively
impacted Crestar's net interest margin for the year. This is primarily due to
their aggregate concentrations of residential real estate mortgage loans and
short-term investments as earning assets, when compared to Crestar's overall
earning asset composition. The impact of the acquisitions on Crestar's 1994 net
interest margin was a reduction of approximately 30 basis points.

          From 1992 to 1993, the net interest margin improved from 4.67%
to 4.78%, reflecting the benefit of changes in the mix of earning assets
and lower levels of nonperforming assets.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR
LOAN LOSSES

Both the amount of the provision and the level of the allowance for loan losses
are impacted by many factors, including general economic conditions, actual and
prospective credit losses, loan performance measures, historical trends and
other circumstances, both internal and external. The amount of the provision for
loan losses is established based on evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses. Individual loan-by-loan reviews are performed on large
commercial and real estate exposures in the lower quality regulatory risk
ratings. Smaller commercial and real estate credits are analyzed utilizing a
formula-based approach that encompasses the risk factors detailed above. Loan
loss allowances for the various consumer credit portfolios are based on
historical and anticipated losses and the current and projected characteristics
of the various portfolios. Management's evaluation and resulting provision and
allowance decisions are reviewed by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

       Crestar's credit quality continued to reflect significant improvement in
1994. Total credit costs, including the provision for loan losses and foreclosed
properties expense, were $30.3 million in 1994, a reduction of $51.5 million or
63% from $81.8 million in 1993. Crestar made provisions for loan losses of $29.7
million in 1994, down $19.1 million or 39% from 1993. This followed a 51%
decrease in the provision for loan losses in 1993 from 1992. A

lingering recessionary climate and its impact on the quality of the commercial
and real estate loan portfolios necessitated a provision for loan losses of
$99.2 million in 1992.

          As a result of the continued improved credit quality, 1994 net
charge-offs of $37.1 million were down $27.7 million or 43% from 1993.
In the years of 1990 through 1993, charge-offs related to real estate
developers and investors (REDI) contributed disproportionately to total
net charge-offs, as the REDI portfolio was the primary source of weaker
credit quality during this recessionary period. The REDI designation is
based on borrower type and encompasses non-owner occupied real estate
and construction loans as well as other forms of credit extended to real
estate developers or investors. REDI net charge-offs comprised 49% of
total net charge-offs of $64.8 million in 1993. In comparison, REDI
charge-offs in 1994 comprised 16% of total net charge-offs of $37.1
million. As a percent of average REDI loans, REDI net charge-offs were
0.5% in 1994, 2.8% in 1993 and 5.0% in 1992.

             Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.45% in
1994, compared to 0.95% in 1993 and 1.69% in 1992. The declines in this ratio
during 1994 and 1993 reflect the improved credit quality trends and economic
conditions noted above. With improvements in commercial and REDI loan net

levels, the largest proportion of net loan charge-offs during 1994 occurred in
the bank card loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for bank card loans were $23.9
million in 1994, compared to $16.2 million in 1993. This increase in bank card
net charge-offs is largely attributable to growth in the bank card loan
portfolio. Current expectations are that the ratio of net charge-offs to
average total loans for the full year 1995 will increase from the level achieved
in 1994, but remain below 1993's results. This expectation is based upon
assumptions regarding the general economic climate in Crestar's principal
markets and the performance characteristics of the loan portfolio, including
Crestar's continued success in resolving remaining nonperforming loans. Changes
in these conditions may produce different results.

         The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1994 was $219 million,
representing 2.36% of year-end loans, 231% of total nonperforming assets and
287% of total nonperforming loans. Comparative measures at the end of 1993 were
$211 million or 2.89% of loans, 218% coverage of total nonperforming assets and
264% coverage of total nonperforming loans. Improvement in the two coverage
ratios was due to a reduction in nonperforming assets, despite additions of
$34.0 million in nonperforming assets during 1994 arising from the Corporation's
seven acquisitions of financial institutions. Detail of the activity in the
allowance for loan losses for the past five years is shown in Table 6. Based on
current expectations relative to portfolio characteristics and performance
measures including loss projections, management considers the level of the
allowance adequate. Although the allowance for loan losses is a general
allowance applicable to all loan categories, the allocation provided in Table 6
is made to provide an indication of the relative risk assessment of the
components of the loan portfolio.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased 2% in 1994, following a 14% increase in
1993. Excluding securities gains and losses, noninterest income
increased $19.0 million or 8% over 1993, compared with a 1993 increase
of $31.2 million or 15% over 1992. The 1994 increase arose from growth
in the noninterest income categories of bank card-related fee income,
mortgage income, and service charges on deposit accounts. Reflecting
promotional activities and increased merchant fee volume, bank
card-related fee income increased by $12.0 million, or 44%, during 1994.
Mortgage income increased $6.6 million, or 17%, in 1994, as increased
servicing income and gains on sale of servicing rights offset declines
in mortgage origination fees. While a higher interest rate environment
reduced origination fees from refinancing activity, there was reduced
run-off in Crestar's mortgage servicing portfolio. Crestar's loan
servicing portfolio was $7.8 billion at December 31, 1994, compared to
$6.7 billion at year-end 1993 and $4.8 billion at year-end 1992.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased 4%, or $3.4 million, from
1993 levels. Trust and investment advisory income decreased $1.8 million
or 3% from 1993, due to an increasingly competitive environment for
trust services. In addition, 1994's declining bond market impacted fees
earned based on the value of assets under management. At year-end
1994, trust assets held by Crestar's Trust and Investment Management
Group approximated $29 billion, and assets under management

totaled $9.0 billion. Other miscellaneous income for 1994 fell $1.2 million from
1993 levels, due primarily to reduced trading account income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense increased $28.7 million or 5% in 1994 following an increase
of $21.2 million or 4% in 1993. Excluding foreclosed properties expense,
noninterest expense increased 12% in 1994 and 11% in 1993. The 1994 increase
reflects acquisition-related costs and expenses incurred in expanding bank card
lending. Additional expenses arising from the seven acquisitions completed in
1994 were approximately $26.3 million. Bank card expense increases, arising from
promotional expenditures and volume-driven staffing increases, amounted to
approximately $15.7 million over 1993 expense levels. Excluding these direct
expenses and the impact of foreclosed properties expense, noninterest expense
increased 4% in 1994.

        Reflecting improved credit conditions and real estate markets,
foreclosed properties expense declined from $33.1 million in 1993 to only $652
thousand in 1994. Operating expenses related to foreclosed properties were down
82%, falling from $13.2 million in 1993 to $2.4 million in 1994. Market
write-downs on foreclosed properties were $0.5 million in 1994 compared to $5.8
million in 1993. Crestar recorded a net gain of $3.0 million on the sale of
foreclosed properties in 1994. In the previous year, the Corporation recorded
net losses on the sale of foreclosed properties of $4.9 million. A $6.4 million
provision for losses on foreclosed properties was also recorded in 1993.

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (SFAS 112) was adopted by Crestar on
January 1, 1994. Under SFAS 112, benefits provided to inactive or former
employees before retirement are accrued during the period of active employment,
rather than being expensed as paid. For Crestar, such benefits consist
principally of short-term disability benefits. Adoption of SFAS 112 resulted in
a pre-tax charge to employee benefit expense, recorded in the first quarter of
1994, of $1.8 million.

        Total capital expenditures for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were approximately
$53 million, $55 million and $46 million, respectively. The 1994 figure included
expenditures for branch and office refurbishments, new branch computer
technology, and initial construction outlays for a new headquarters building for
Crestar Mortgage Corporation. Expenditures in 1995 are anticipated to
approximate $91 million. Of this amount, approximately $20 million will be
expenditures for the new five-story building to house Crestar Mortgage
Corporation and for the purchase of an additional office building currently
being leased.

INCOME TAXES

In 1994, Crestar's income tax expense was $85.6 million, up from $63.0
million in 1993 and $19.7 million in 1992. The effective tax rates for
1994, 1993 and 1992 were 33.6%, 31.0% and 19.8%, respectively. The 1994
increase in the effective tax rate was attributable to reduced
proportions of tax-exempt interest and dividends, higher provisions for
state income taxes, and a favorable deferred tax adjustment recorded in
1993, which reflected an increase in net 

                                   21
<PAGE>

deferred tax assets due to
provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. The
increase in Crestar's effective tax rate from 1992 to 1993 was
attributable to higher earnings in 1993, and due to the utilization of
available alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards in 1992.

       In 1993, Crestar adopted the asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are based on the differences between financial statement and tax
basis of assets and liabilities. The tax effects of these differences are
measured using enacted tax rates that will be effective for the period during
which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided
against deferred tax assets if, and to the extent, it is more likely than not
that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. In management's
judgment, no valuation allowance was necessary at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
Deferred tax expense is measured by the change in the net deferred tax assets
or liabilities for the period.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY

Bank liquidity is a measure of the ability to generate and maintain sufficient
cash flows to fund operations and to meet financial obligations to depositors
and borrowers promptly and in a cost-effective manner. Liquidity is provided
through securities available for sale, money market investments, maturing loans
and investments, and the ability to generate new deposits or borrowings as
needed.

        Core deposits provide a typically stable source of liquidity.
Interest-bearing core deposits represented 69% of total funding sources at
December 31, 1994 compared with 65% at December 31, 1993. Core deposits are
supplemented by additional sources of liquidity in the form of short-term
borrowings and large CDs, normally available from both national and local
markets. While Crestar's short-term borrowings include local funds, national
sources are also utilized to acquire funds. Crestar's liquidity position is
actively managed on a daily basis, monitored regularly by the Asset/Liability
Management Committee (ALCO) and reviewed periodically with the Board of
Directors. ALCO's overall objective is to optimize net interest income within
the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity needs, the interest rate
and economic outlook, market opportunities, and customer requirements. General
strategies to accomplish this objective include maintaining a strong balance
sheet, achieving solid core deposit growth, accepting manageable interest rate
risk, adhering to conservative financial management principles and practicing
prudent dividend policies.

          Interest sensitivity refers to the volatility of profitability
as a result of changes in interest rates. Crestar's goal is to limit
interest rate exposure to prudent levels as determined by the
Corporation's ALCO committee. The level of exposure taken is based on an
assessment of the market environment, and will vary from period to
period.

          The primary tool used by ALCO in assessing interest rate
exposure is net interest income simulations. The committee establishes
limits on net interest income at risk for a twenty-four month period. A
two year net interest income forecast is prepared regularly based on
flat, high, low and most likely interest rate scenarios. The high and
low interest rate scenarios are based upon an assessment of the historic
volatility of interest rates. The expected dynamics of the balance sheet
under each scenario, including shifts in loans and deposits, are
included in the simulations. By its nature, this simulation process
includes numerous assumptions, for both long-term and short-term
timeframes, including assumptions on average balances and yields. Many
of the assumptions are both highly qualitative and subjective. The high
rate and low rate estimates generated by this process are then compared
to the flat scenario. At year-end 1994, Crestar's projection of pre-tax
net interest income at risk, as a percentage of the next twenty-four
month's net interest income under a flat scenario, was 3.4% for a high
interest rate scenario, and 4.4% for a falling interest rate scenario.
The net interest income at risk percentage does not consider future
discretionary actions, including hedging activity, that may be entered
into to manage future earnings volatility.

          A second interest sensitivity tool is the quantification of
market value changes for all assets and liabilities given an increase or
decrease in interest rates. This approach provides a longer term view of
interest rate risk, capturing predominantly all expected future cash
flows. Assets and liabilities with option characteristics are valued
based on numerous interest rate path valuations using Monte Carlo rate
simulation techniques. The banking industry and its regulatory
authorities are moving toward a market value method of interest
sensitivity assessment. Crestar has been developing this tool and is
incorporating it as another component of interest rate risk management
to supplement the results achieved through net interest income
simulation.

          Another interest rate risk tool used by Crestar is the
interest rate "gap," or mismatch in repricing between interest-sensitive
assets and liabilities, which provides a general indication of interest
sensitivity at a specific point in time. Table 9 reflects the earlier of
the maturity or repricing dates for various assets and liabilities at
December 31, 1994. At that point in time, Crestar had a cumulative
negative six-month gap with

This generally indicates that earnings should improve in a declining interest
rate environment as liabilities reprice more quickly than assets. The opposite
would be true of a positive, or asset-sensitive, gap.

          In addition to the traditional gap measurement presentation,
Table 9 also presents interest sensitivity on an adjusted basis. The
first of these adjustments is made through the use of beta factors,
which are based on a ratio of actual changes in consumer deposit rates
to changes in the prime rate during interest rate cycles for the last
several years. Essentially, the beta factors recognize that certain
consumer deposit rates are less interest-sensitive than market-based
rates such as commercial paper. In addition to a beta adjustment, the
table also incorporates an adjustment to reflect the sensitivity of much

demand deposit balances to the level of interest rates. On a cumulative
six-month basis, Crestar had a liability sensitive "adjusted gap" at December
31, 1994, with $591 million excess of interest-sensitive sources of funds over
uses of funds.

          Each of the above three tools used to assess interest rate risk have
strengths and weaknesses. While Crestar believes that the above methodologies
provide a meaningful representation of the Corporation's interest rate
sensitivity, the methodologies do not necessarily take into account all business
developments which can have an impact on net interest income, such as changes in
credit quality or changes in the amount and composition of earning assets and
sources of funds.

          As noted, Crestar incurs a degree of interest rate risk as a
provider of banking services to its customers. This risk can be reduced
through derivative interest rate contracts, such as interest rate swaps,
caps and floors. The majority of Crestar's outstanding derivative
instruments at December 31, 1994 are utilized to convert certain
variable rate assets to fixed rates in order to lock in a profitable
interest spread based on the underlying fixed rate funding sources.
Because financial derivatives typically do not have actual principal
dollars transferred between parties, notional principal amounts are used
to express the volume of such transactions. However, the notional amount
of derivative contracts does not represent direct credit exposure.
Crestar's direct credit exposure is generally limited to the estimated
replacement cost of those instruments with a positive market value.
Crestar has established policies governing derivative activities, and
the counterparties used by Crestar are considered high quality credits.
In addition, Crestar may demand collateral from a counterparty to
further minimize credit risk. There were no past due amounts or reserves
for possible derivative credit losses at December 31, 1994, nor has
Crestar ever experienced any charge-offs related to the credit risk of
derivative transactions. No interest rate swaps, floors or caps used as
hedges against interest rate risk were sold or terminated prior to
maturity during 1994, and at December 31, 1994 there were no deferred
gains or

losses arising from termination of hedged transactions prior to
maturity. The notional amount of Crestar's interest rate swaps, caps
and floors (excluding customer positions where Crestar simply acts as
an intermediary) was $1.7 billion at December 31, 1994. Forward
contracts with a notional amount of $266 million, utilized to hedge
lending commitments of Crestar's mortgage banking subsidiary, were
also outstanding at December 31, 1994, bringing the total notional
value of derivative financial instruments related to interest rate
risk management activities to $1.927 million at year-end 1994. Tables
10, 11 and 12 present information regarding fair values, maturity,
average rates, and activity during 1994 for these off-balance sheet
derivative instruments. Net unrealized losses on these instruments
totaled $95.2 million as of year-end 1994. These derivatives have
maturities ranging from one month to 4.5 years. Financial statement
note 22 contains additional information pertaining to these types of
agreements.

          Estimated fair values of financial instruments held at
December 31, 1994 and 1993 are presented in financial statement note 23.
Management is concerned about the comparability of fair value estimates
between financial institutions due to the wide range of valuation
techniques utilized and the numerous estimates and assumptions that must
be made, given the absence of active secondary markets for many
financial instruments. This is particularly true for estimated fair
values computed for loan portfolios and deposit liabilities. Lack of
uniform valuation methodologies introduces a great degree of
subjectivity to such fair value estimates.

          A brief description of the methodologies used in computing
fair value estimates, and the resulting estimated fair values, are
provided in financial statement note 23. Crestar's loan portfolio, which
constitutes the Corporation's largest financial instrument asset
category, had an estimated fair value of approximately 99.7% of recorded
book value at December 31, 1994. The effects of a rising interest rate
environment, partially offset by improved credit quality trends, were
major factors in the determination of the estimated fair value for net
loans. Deposit liabilities payable on short notice or demand, which
constituted 72% of Crestar's total deposits at December 31, 1994, were
assigned an estimated fair value equal to the balance payable on demand,
in accordance with mandatory accounting standards. However, recent
purchase transactions of bank deposits have generally reflected premiums
of approximately 4% to 10% of recorded book value,

reflecting the relationship value of such deposits over their projected

rising interest rate environment of 1994 increased the fair values of
both non-interest bearing and fixed rate deposit liabilities, while
decreasing the fair values of fixed rate loan balances, investment
securities and off-balance sheet derivative instruments.

          Effective January 1, 1994, Crestar adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." In accordance with
SFAS 115, securities are classified as either securities held to
maturity, securities available for sale or trading account securities.
Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost on the
Corporation's Consolidated Balance Sheets, as Crestar has the ability
and positive intent to hold these securities to maturity. Trading
account securities are carried at fair value as they are intended to be
sold in the near term. Securities available for sale are carried at fair

or trading account securities. With the adoption of SFAS 115, unrealized
holding gains or losses on securities available for sale are excluded
from the Consolidated Statement of Income and reported, net of tax, as a
separate component of shareholder's equity. In accordance with SFAS 115,
the Corporation's consolidated financial statements for periods prior to
January 1, 1994 have not been retroactively changed to conform to
current securities classifications. Prior to January 1, 1994, investment
securities which management intended to sell as part of its asset/
liability management strategy, or that may have been sold in response to
changes in interest rates, prepayment risk or other similar factors,
were classified as securities held for sale, and were stated at the
lower of aggregate amortized cost or market value. All other investment
securities were accounted for in a manner similar to securities held to
maturity or trading account securities.

          At December 31, 1994, the amortized cost of securities
available for sale, net of tax, exceeded the fair value of such
securities by $36.6 million. The net unrealized gain or loss on
securities available for sale, recorded as a component of shareholders'
equity, will continue to be subject to change in future periods due to
fluctuations in market values, acquisition activities, and sales,
purchases, maturities and calls of securities classified as available
for sale.

          Securities held to maturity at December 31, 1994 had an
amortized cost of $907.4 million and a market value of $860.8 million.
Unrealized pre-tax losses on such securities at year-end 1994 were $48.2
million, with unrealized pre-tax gains of $1.6 million. No sales of
investments classified as securities held to maturity occurred during
1994.

          The Corporation's debt ratings are presented in Table 13. In
the second quarter of 1994, Moody's raised its ratings on Crestar's
subordinated notes from Baa2 to Baa1. In the fourth quarter of 1994,

& Poor's raised its ratings on Crestar's subordinated notes from BBB to
BBB+. In their announcements regarding these debt rating upgrades, both
agencies cited Crestar's strong financial condition and rising
profitability.


SOURCES OF FUNDS

Crestar's largest and most important funding source is core deposits,
which totaled $10.8 billion at December 31, 1994, an increase of $729
million, or 7%, over December 31, 1993 balances. Average core deposits
increased by $1.2 billion, or 12% from 1993 to 1994. Of this increase,
approximately $950 million was attributable to the acquisitions
consummated during 1994. While money market certificates displayed
relatively low growth, other domestic time deposits increased by $308
million, or 15%, from year-end 1993 levels. Savings accounts increased
$153 million or 12% during 1994. Transaction accounts, which include
demand, interest checking and money market deposit accounts, grew $257
million or 4% over year-end 1993 levels. These increases reflect
successful promotional efforts during 1994, including "Welcome Aboard"
campaigns aimed at welcoming customers of acquired financial
institutions to Crestar. Crestar's purchase of three financial
institutions during the first quarter of 1995, as discussed in financial
statement note 2, is expected to initially add approximately $590
million in deposits.


          Purchased liabilities are composed of certificates of
deposit of $100,000 and over (large CDs), deposits in foreign offices,
and short-term borrowings. Total

purchased liabilities decreased $217 million or 13% from December 31, 1993,
reflecting both growth in core deposits and management strategies in a rising
interest rate environment. At December 31, 1994, approximately 49% of
Crestar's purchased funds consisted of funds invested by local customers and,
as such, are less volatile than other categories of purchased funds. National
sources accounted for 51% of purchased liabilities. At December 31, 1994,
Crestar had $1.2 billion in market value of unpledged marketable securities.

          Long-term debt increased $176 million during 1994, primarily
reflecting the issuance of $150 million in subordinated ten-year notes
in November 1994 (see "Capital Resources and Adequacy").

USES OF FUNDS

Total earning assets at December 31, 1994 increased $426 million or 4%
from year-end 1993, compared with a 6% increase in the prior year. Average

assets for 1994 increased $987 million or 9% above the average level
of earning assets in 1993. This increase was attributable to the seven
financial institution acquisitions completed during 1994. In 1994, higher
levels of securities available for sale and loans were partially offset by
a decline in securities classified as held to maturity.

     Total securities (classified as either held to maturity or available
for sale) as of December 31, 1994 decreased $992 million or 28% from
December 31, 1993, as funds from maturities and sales were utilized to
fund some loan portfolio growth and to reduce short-term borrowings. This
followed a $293 million or 9% increase in 1993. The composition of Crestar's
securities portfolio along with related yield and maturity information as of
December 31, 1994 is presented in Tables 14 and 16. Both average expected
maturity and actual stated maturity are shown. The average expected maturity

amortization, resulting in a more realistic measure of maturities than
actual stated maturity. The "Other taxable securities" category consists
largely of collateralized mortgage obligations and certificates of
automobile collateralized receivables. Crestar's holdings of tax-exempt
securities have declined over the past five years and management expects
that trend to continue as maturities occur within the portfolio. Table
15 presents the distribution of tax-exempt securities by investment
grade as determined by Moody's Investors Service. All of the $4.4
million of securities shown as not rated by Moody's at year end are
rated A or better by Standard & Poor's. None of Crestar's securities
holdings by individual issuer (excluding U.S. Treasury and Federal
agencies) exceeded 10% of total shareholders' equity at December 31,
1994.


          During 1994, approximately $1.7 billion of securities were
sold, generating securities losses of $10.8 million. The majority of
such securities losses were incurred in the fourth quarter of 1994, when
Crestar sold approximately $300 million in lower-yielding U.S. Treasury
securities in conjunction with the overall management of interest rate
risk for the Corporation. All securities sold in 1994 were from the
Corporation's securities available for sale portfolio. In 1993, over
$350 million in U.S. Treasury securities and almost $15 million in
adjustable rate preferred stock were sold for net gains of $2.2 million.


          Money market investments decreased by $198 million or 30% from
December 31, 1993 to $453 million at December 31, 1994. Average balances
of money market investments declined from $676 million in 1993 to $605
million in 1994, while Crestar's average short-term borrowings declined
$244 million during this same time period. Year-end money market
investment levels reflect an appropriate level of money market
investments given liquidity needs and balance sheet management
strategies. Declines in mortgage origination and refinancing activity,
attributable to a rising interest rate environment, contributed to a
lower level of mortgage loans held for sale, which decreased from $591
million at December 31, 1993 to $210 million at December 31, 1994.


          Year-end total loans net of unearned income increased $2.0
billion or 27% in 1994, compared to an increase of 11% in 1993.
Period-end loans attributable to 1994 acquisitions were approximately
$1.0 billion. Reflecting the economic rebound in Crestar's market area,
commercial loans increased by 11% in 1994 following a 1% decrease in
1993. While commercial loans continued to be Crestar's largest loan
category, the percentage of commercial loans to total loans at year-end
declined from 36% in 1993 to 31% in 1994. This reduction is the result
of strong consumer lending growth in 1994 and the impact of acquisition
activity. Tax-exempt loans continued to decline, primarily due to loan
maturities, decreasing 13% in 1994.


          Bank card loans increased $501 million or 51% in 1994, and
totaled $1.48 billion at December 31, 1994. This growth arises from a
continuation of strong promotional activities, including efforts outside
Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC, that had previously resulted in
an increase of $412 million, or 73%, in bank card loans during 1993.
Instalment loans increased 18% in 1994, reflecting both acquisitions and
internally generated growth in both direct and indirect loans. In 1993,
instalment loans increased

13%. Real estate mortgage loans increased $1.0 billion or 59% over 1993,
and totaled $2.7 billion at December 31, 1994. Merger activity in 1994 centered
on thrift institutions, and these acquisitions had a significant percentage of
residential real estate mortgage loans as a percentage of total loans. This
acquisition activity created a majority of Crestar's increase in real estate
mortgage loans in 1994. Residential real estate mortgage loans represented 21%
of the Corporation's total loan portfolio at December 31, 1994, up from 13% at
year-end 1993.

        Based upon Standard Industrial Classification codes used for bank
regulatory reporting purposes, the Corporation had no aggregate loan
concentrations of 10% or more of total loans in any particular industry at
year-end 1994. Under an internal classification of borrower type, Crestar does
have a concentration of loans to real estate developers and investors (REDI).
Crestar had $1.06 billion in REDI loans outstanding at year-end 1994, compared
to $1.14 billion at year-end 1993 (see Tables 18 and 19). While REDI loan
balances fell slightly in 1994, other types of loans, including consumer loan
balances, increased significantly. Together, these two factors led to a decline
in REDI loans as a percentage of total loans from 16% at December 31, 1993 to
11% at December 31, 1994. The reduction in REDI balances occurred despite
Crestar's 1994 acquisitions, which added approximately $150 million in REDI
balances (at time of acquisition) during the year. REDI balances have shown a
downward trend over the past several years due to declining levels of commercial
development, sales of projects, paydowns and pay-outs of construction and
income property projects, and migration into foreclosed properties, charge-offs
and write-downs. Diversification of the REDI portfolio by geographic region and
by project type is detailed in Table 18. Crestar's Greater Washington region
comprises the largest portion of this portfolio, followed by the Eastern region.
The primary REDI loan exposure in both regions relate to commercial projects.

RISK ELEMENTS

Nonperforming assets consist of foreclosed properties, formally
restructured loans and nonaccrual loans. Properties are considered
foreclosed if acquired through traditional legal procedures or in
settlement of loans, or when the customer has abandoned the property to
Crestar. Loans may be restructured as to rate, maturity or other terms
as determined on an individual credit basis. Generally, loans are placed
in nonaccrual status when principal or interest is 90 days or more past
due, or earlier if it is known or expected that interest will not be
paid or collection of all principal and interest is unlikely. Any loan
past due 90 days or more and, based on a determination of
collectibility, is not classified as nonaccrual, is classified as a past
due loan. Table 20 presents the level of these assets for the past five
years, and Tables 21 and 22 summarize quarterly activity in
nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties for 1994 and 1993.

         At December 31, 1994, nonperforming assets of $94.9 million were down
$1.9 million or 2% from December 31, 1993, despite $34.0 million in
acquisition-related balances acquired during 1994. At year-end 1994,
approximately $14.1 million of nonperforming assets were attributable to
acquisitions completed in 1994. REDI nonperforming assets totaled $59.1 million
and comprised 62% of total nonperforming assets and 5.6% of total REDI loans at
December 31, 1994. The REDI nonperforming asset balance reflects a decrease of
$3.2 million from December 31, 1993. Apart from the REDI portfolio, commercial
and residential real estate nonperforming assets declined during the year, while
increases of $2.5 million were noted in instalment nonperforming assets.
Reflecting additions from 1994 acquisitions, foreclosed properties increased
$1.7 million or 10% from December 31, 1993 to December 31, 1994. The December
31, 1994 balance of $18.6 million is net of a $7.2 million valuation allowance
to address exposure to prevailing market and economic conditions and the
potential impact of such conditions on the marketability of the portfolio. The
ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and foreclosed properties-net at December
31, 1994 was 1.02%, compared to 1.32% at December 31, 1993 and 3.32% at December
31, 1992. Based on current portfolio trends, and barring an unexpected
deterioration in the economy, management does not expect the ratio of
nonperforming assets to loans and foreclosed properties to change significantly
during 1995. However, interim periods in 1995 could show increases in the total
balance of nonperforming assets due to future acquisitions of financial
institutions, the impact of higher interest rates on borrowers, and loan growth.

          Potential problem loans consist of loans that are currently performing
in accordance with contractual terms but for which potential operating or
financial concerns of the obligors have caused management to have serious doubts
regarding the ability of such obligors to continue to comply with present
repayment terms. At December 31, 1994, potential problem loans that are not
included in Table 20 as nonperforming or past due loans amounted to
approximately $210 million, compared to $205 million at December 31, 1993. Of
the year-end 1994 balance, 67% consisted of commercial loan balances, with an
additional 27% representing commercial real estate loans. In addition, $17
million of standby letters of credit in various industries were being monitored
at December 31, 1994. Depending on changes in the

economy and other future events, these loans and others not presently identified
could be classified as nonperforming assets in the future. There are no loans
classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special
mention that have not been disclosed above, that either (i) represent or result
from trends or uncertainties that management reasonably expects will materially
impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources or (ii)
represent material credits about which management is aware of any information
that causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such
borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms.


FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
(SFAS 114) in May 1993. SFAS 114 was further amended by the FASB in October 1994
through the issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118.
Effective January 1, 1995, SFAS 114, as amended by SFAS 118, requires that
impaired loans within the scope of the statements be measured and reported on
the basis of the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate, or at the fair value of the loan's collateral if the
loan is deemed "collateral dependent." The impact of adopting SFAS 114, as
amended by SFAS 118, is expected to be immaterial to the financial condition and
operations of Crestar.


INFLATION


The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different
than on non-banking companies since virtually all of a bank's assets and
liabilities are monetary in nature. In particular, interest rates are
significantly affected by inflation, but neither the timing nor magnitude of the
changes are directly related to price level indices. Therefore, the Corporation
can best counter inflation over the long term by managing net interest income
and controlling net increases in noninterest income and expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CRESTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(1) ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Crestar Financial Corporation
and Subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles and
to general practice within the banking industry. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation. The following
is a summary of the more significant policies:

(a) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of Crestar Financial Corporation
and Subsidiaries (Crestar or the Corporation) include the accounts of
all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the condensed
financial statements of Crestar Financial Corporation (Parent), the
investments in subsidiaries are stated at equity in the net assets of
such subsidiaries (note 21).

    Business combinations accounted for as purchases are
included from their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of cost
over the estimated fair value of the tangible assets and liabilities
acquired is recorded as intangible assets and amortized over the periods
estimated to be benefited.

    Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not assets
of Crestar and are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.

(b) SECURITIES

Effective January 1, 1994, Crestar prospectively adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." In accordance with
SFAS 115, securities are classified as either securities held to
maturity, securities available for sale, or trading securities.
Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost, as the
Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold these
securities to maturity. Trading securities are carried at estimated fair
value as they are intended to be sold in the near term: trading
securities are classified as money market investments on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Securities not classified as
held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale.
Available for sale securities are stated at estimated fair value, with
the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate
component of shareholders' equity. Quoted market prices are used to
determine estimated fair value.

    In accordance with SFAS 115, the Corporation's consolidated
financial statements for periods prior to January 1, 1994 have not been
retroactively changed to conform to current securities classifications.
Prior to January 1, 1994, investment securities which management
intended to sell as a part of its asset/liability management strategy,
or that may have been sold in response to changes in interest rates,
prepayment risk or other similar factors, were classified as
securities held for sale, and were stated at the lower of aggregate
amortized cost or estimated market value. All other investment
securities were accounted for in a manner similar to securities held to
maturity or trading securities.

    The amortized cost of securities classified as held
to maturity or available for sale is adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, or earlier call date if
appropriate, using the level yield method. Such amortization is included
in interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses, and
declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in
securities gains (losses) in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific
identification method.

(c) MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS

Money market investments are stated at cost, which approximates market
value, except for trading account securities, which are carried at
market value. Securities held for trading purposes are classified as
trading account securities. Trading securities primarily include U.S.
Treasury and municipal debt obligations. Trading securities may include
from time to time positions in certain derivative financial instruments
such as futures contracts and purchased options (see related discussion
in note 22). Adjustments to market and trading account gains and losses
are classified as other income in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. Trading account interest and dividend income is
included in income on money market investments.

(d) MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost
or market value. Adjustments to market and realized gains and losses are
classified as other income in the accompanying consolidated statements
of income.

(e) LOANS

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding net of unearned
income. Interest on some instalment loans and some second mortgage loans
is accrued using the sum-of-the-months-digits method (78ths method),
which does not produce results materially different from the level yield
method. Interest on other loans is accrued by multiplying the applicable
rates by the principal amounts outstanding. Most equipment leases,
included in the commercial loan category, are accounted for using the
direct financing method for financial reporting purposes.

                                   38
<PAGE>

    Interest receipts on nonaccrual loans are recognized as interest
revenue or are applied to principal when management believes the
ultimate collectibility of principal is in doubt. Loans generally are
placed in nonaccrual status when the collection of principal or interest
is 90 days or more past due, or earlier if collection is uncertain based
upon an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the
financial strength of the borrower. Instalment loans are placed in
nonaccrual status when past due 120 days and are charged off when past
due 180 days. Generally, bank card loans are not placed in nonaccrual
status, but are charged off at the earlier of when past due 180 days or
notification of bankruptcy.

    Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan
origination costs are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an
adjustment of the related loan's yield. Crestar amortizes these amounts
over the contractual life of the related loans or over the commitment
period.

(f) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The determination of the balance of the allowance for loan losses is
based upon a review and analysis of the loan portfolio. The allowance
reflects an amount that, in management's judgment, is adequate to
provide for losses inherent in the portfolio. Management's review
includes monthly analyses of past due, problem and nonaccrual loans and
a detailed periodic classification report.

    Estimates of future losses involve the exercise of judgment and the
use of assumptions. The principal factors considered in determining the
adequacy of the allowance are the composition of the loan portfolio,
historical loss experience, anticipated losses, economic conditions, the
value and adequacy of collateral, and the current level of the
allowance.

    Accrued interest receivable is generally charged against the
allowance for loan losses when deemed uncollectible.

(g) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation and amortization charges are computed
under the straight-line method. Premises and equipment are depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold
improvements which are amortized over the terms of the respective leases
or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Certain noncancelable leases have been capitalized and are classified as
premises and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. Related amounts representing capital lease obligations are
classified as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets and are amortized using the interest method to allocate payments
between principal and interest. The initial carrying amounts represent
the present value of the future rental payments, discounted at the
incremental borrowing rate of the lessee. Most of these capital lease
assets are amortized over the lease term.

    Estimated lives of the principal items of premises and equipment
are: buildings and improvements - 3 to 50 years; and furniture, fixtures
and equipment - 3 to 12 years. The costs of major renovations are
capitalized, while the costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred.

(h) INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. Deposit
base intangibles are amortized over the estimated lives of the related
deposit relationships, ranging from 4 to 15 years. Mortgage servicing
rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated
net servicing income to be derived from the servicing activities. The
period of amortization ranges from 5 to 14 years, depending on the
expected life of the mortgages being serviced.

(i) FORECLOSED PROPERTIES

Property acquired through legal foreclosure proceedings, abandonment
of the property, acceptance of deed in lieu of foreclosure or transfer
in exchange for an outstanding loan is initially recorded at estimated
fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure,
establishing a new cost basis. At the time of foreclosure, any excess of
cost over the estimated fair value is charged to the allowance for loan
losses, and estimated selling costs are expensed as foreclosed
properties expense. After foreclosure, valuations are routinely
performed by management and the property is carried at the lower of cost
or fair value less estimated selling costs. Write-downs are charged
against current earnings or any applicable foreclosed property valuation
allowance.

(j) INCOME TAXES

The Parent and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return. The provision for income taxes for each company is recorded on
the basis of filing separate income tax returns, after adjustments
relating to consolidated income tax regulations and signed tax sharing
agreements. Income taxes currently payable or receivable by each
subsidiary are paid to or received from the Parent.

    In 1993, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for income
taxes (note 13) and, accordingly, records a provision for income taxes
based on the amounts of current and deferred taxes payable (or
refundable) for the year. The deferred tax expense or benefit represents
the change in the net deferred tax 

                                   39
<PAGE>

asset or liability during the period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects
of differing carrying values of assets and liabilities for tax and
financial statement reporting purposes that will reverse in future
periods.

    In 1992 and prior years, a provision for deferred income taxes was
made for revenue and expenses in the consolidated financial statements
that were reported in different periods for tax purposes than for
financial reporting purposes.

(k) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net income
applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period, including average common
equivalent shares attributable to dilutive stock options.

    Fully diluted earnings per common share are computed using average
common shares, including the maximum dilutive effect of average common
equivalent shares, increased by the number of shares that would result
from assuming that the 5% convertible subordinated debentures were
converted into common stock at the beginning of the applicable period
and using net income increased by interest and amortization of debt
issuance expense, net of tax effect, relating to those debentures. Net
income for 1993 and 1992 was further reduced by the dividends applicable
to the Series B preferred stock.

(l) INTEREST RATE SWAPS, CAPS, COLLARS
AND FLOORS

Crestar uses interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors for interest
rate risk management and in connection with interest rate risk
management services provided to customers (note 22).

    Interest rate swaps, caps and floors used to achieve interest rate
risk management objectives are accounted for on an accrual basis and the
net interest differential, including premiums paid, if any, is
recognized as an adjustment to the interest income or expense of the
related asset or liability. Upon early termination of these derivative
instruments, the net proceeds received or paid are deferred and
amortized over the lesser of the remaining contract life or the maturity
of the related asset or liability. At December 31, 1994 and 1993 there
were no deferred gains or losses arising from termination of hedged
transactions prior to maturity.

    Fee income from matched arrangements for which Crestar serves as a
financial intermediary is recognized over the lives of the related
agreements and is classified as other income in the consolidated
statements of income.

(m) RETIREMENT, POSTRETIREMENT AND
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Substantially all employees are covered by a pension plan. The net
periodic pension expense includes a service cost component, a component
reflecting the actual return on plan assets, an interest cost component,
and the effect of deferring and amortizing certain actuarial gains and
losses and the unrecognized net transition asset over 15 years.

    On January 1, 1993, Crestar adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106 (SFAS 106), "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." Under SFAS 106, costs of retiree benefits
other than pensions are accrued in a manner similar to pension costs.
Prior to 1993, these other retiree benefit costs were expensed when
paid.

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 (SFAS 112),
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," was adopted by
Crestar on January 1, 1994. Under SFAS 112, benefits provided to
inactive or former employees before retirement are accrued during the
period of active employment, rather than being expensed as paid.
Adoption of SFAS 112 resulted in a pre-tax charge to employee benefit
expense of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 1994. Postemployment
benefits expense for periods prior to 1994 has not been restated.

(2) MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On January 11, 1994, Crestar Mortgage Corporation, a subsidiary of
Crestar, acquired the stock of Mortgage Capital corporation ("Mortgage
Capital"), a wholesale mortgage loan production company, with an initial
purchase payment of $5.2 million. Under the terms of the purchase
agreement, an additional $2.4 million may be paid to the former owners
depending on the future performance of Mortgage Capital's operations
over the next five years.

    On January 28, 1994, Crestar acquired Virginia Federal Savings Bank
(Virginia Federal), for a purchase price of $52 million. The excess of
the cost over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets
acquired was approximately $3.0 million.


    On March 18, 1994, Crestar completed the acquisitions of Providence
Savings and Loan Association ("Providence") and NVR Federal Savings
Bank ("NVR"). Crestar acquired the stock of Providence for a purchase
price of $27 million. Crestar acquired the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of NVR for a purchase price of $42 million. The excesses of
the costs over the estimated fair values of tangible net 

                                   40
<PAGE>

assets acquired
were approximately $19.9 million and $11.2 million for Providence and
NVR, respectively.

    On May 14, 1994, Crestar acquired the deposits of Piedmont Federal
Savings Association, which had been operating under Resolution Trust
Corporation (RTC) conservatorship. In connection with this acquisition,
Crestar paid a $10 million premium to the RTC.

    On June 10, 1994, Crestar completed the acquisition of Annapolis
Bancorp, Inc. (Annapolis), a holding company for Annapolis Federal
Savings Bank. Crestar acquired the stock of Annapolis for a purchase
price of approximately $16 million, which included 264,200 shares of
Crestar stock and $2.9 million in cash. The excess of the cost over the
estimated fair value of the tangible net assets acquired was
approximately $18.3 million.

    On September 16, 1994, Crestar Bank acquired from the RTC
approximately $17 million in deposits related to two branches of Second
National Federal Savings Association located in Fairfax and Woodbridge,
Virginia. In connection with this acquisition, Crestar paid a $112
thousand premium to the RTC.

    The above acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and,
accordingly, the results of their operations are included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements since their respective
acquisition dates. The results of operations of the above acquisitions
for the periods prior to their respective acquisition dates were not
material to the results of operations of Crestar. The seven acquisitions
completed during 1994 are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

Also during 1994, Crestar announced three acquisitions to be completed
during 1995. On January 20, 1995 Crestar completed two of these
acquisitions, Independent Bank (Independent), Manassas, Virginia and
Jefferson Savings and Loan (Jefferson), Warrenton, Virginia.

    The acquisitions of Independent and Jefferson were each for a
combination of cash and Crestar stock, valued at approximately $12
million for Independent, including 198,400 shares of Crestar stock, and
$23 million for Jefferson, including 471,400 shares of Crestar stock.
Independent and Jefferson had total assets of approximately $80 million
and $280 million, respectively, and total deposits of $70 million and
$250 million, respectively, at acquisition date. Each of these
acquisitions was accounted for as a purchase. Crestar's financial
statements for 1994 do not include these acquisitions.

    Crestar expects to complete its acquisition of TideMark Bancorp,
Inc. (TideMark), Newport News, Virginia, in March 1995. The acquisition
of TideMark is for a combination of cash and Crestar stock valued at
approximately $38 million, to be accounted for as a purchase. TideMark
had total assets and deposits of approximately $394 million and $270
million at December 31, 1994, respectively.

    Crestar expects the ten acquisitions completed or announced in 1994
to have a positive contribution to earnings within the first twelve
months following completion.

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, securities available for sale with an
aggregate carrying value of $790,827,000 and $573,787,000 respectively,
were pledged to secure deposits and for other purposes.

    Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $1.7
billion in 1994, $376 million in 1993 and $238 million in 1992. Gross
gains of $6.2, $4.1 and $4.9 million and gross losses of $17.0 million,
$1.9 million and $141 thousand were realized on such sales during 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively.

    As a result of Crestar's adoption of SFAS 115 as discussed in note
1(b), securities having an amortized cost of $2.932 billion, and an
estimated market value of $2.983 billion, were classified as securities
available for sale on January 1, 1994. The initial effect of adoption
of SFAS 115 was an increase in shareholders' equity of $32.2 million,
which was the amount by which the fair value of securities available for
sale, net of a deferred tax liability of $19 million, exceeded the
amortized cost of such securities on January 1, 1994.

(5) MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS

Money market investments at December 31 included:

(6) NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and foreclosed
properties. Nonperforming loans consist of loans on which income is
recognized on the cash basis (nonaccrual loans) and loans which meet the
accounting definition of a troubled debt restructuring (restructured
loans). Nonaccrual loans are classified as loans in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. There were no material commitments to lend
additional funds to customers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual
at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, loans accounted for
as restructured loans, included in nonaccrual loans, totaled $7.9
million and $20.1 million, respectively.

  In addition to the loans classified as nonaccrual at December 31, 1994
and 1993, there were $35.7 million and $25.2 million, respectively,
that were past due 90 days or more, the majority of which were
collateralized or in the process of collection. Instalment and bank card
past due loans are subject to established charge-off procedures as
discussed in note 1(e).

  Non-cash additions to foreclosed properties were $10.4 million, $17.2
million and $114.1 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The
amounts of nonperforming assets at December 31 follow:

</TABLE>

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," (SFAS 114), as amended, will be
adopted prospectively by Crestar on January 1, 1995. In future
reporting periods, impaired loans within the scope of the statement will
be measured and valued on the basis of the present value of expected
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the
fair value of the loan's collateral if the loan is deemed collateral
dependent. The 1995 impact on Crestar's results of operations and
financial position of adopting SFAS 114 is expected to be immaterial.

(7) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Transactions in the consolidated allowance for loan
losses for the years ended December 31 were:

Ending balance                     $219,189     $210,958     $ 205,017

Foreign activities represented less than 1 percent of total assets,
revenues, income before income taxes and net income for all years
presented.

    Allowance from acquisitions for 1994 is net of a $4.2 million
reduction in the allowance for loan losses initially recorded upon the
purchase of CFS Financial Corporation (CFS) in May 1993. This reduction
in the initial valuation of the acquired allowance was based on
subsequent and more detailed analysis of the creditworthiness of the CFS
loan portfolio as of the date of acquisition. The impact of this
reduction on the other values assigned to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the CFS purchase was to decrease goodwill by $2.7
million and to decrease the deferred income tax asset by $1.5 million.

    Crestar owns and, along with its subsidiaries, is the principal
tenant of the corporate headquarters building in Richmond, Virginia, an
operations center in Richmond, and regional office buildings in Roanoke
and Norfolk, Virginia and Washington, DC. At December 31, 1994, Crestar
had 336 banking locations, the majority of which were located in bank
owned facilities. Management considers these properties to be suitable
and adequate for current operations.

    Lease expense relating to both cancelable and noncancelable
operating lease agreements (including month-to-month rental agreements)
is shown below. Customarily, these leases provide that the lessee pay
taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses
applicable to the leased property.

Accumulated amortization of goodwill was $23,421,000 and $17,320,000 for
1994 and 1993, respectively. During 1994, goodwill and deposit base
intangibles were reduced by $13.1 million due to recognition of an
income tax benefit arising from an IRS settlement of issues related to
the tax treatment of intangible assets. Additionally, a $7.0 million
reduction in goodwill and deposit base intangibles was recorded in 1994
due to recognition of an income tax benefit from reclassifications of
goodwill and deposit base intangible assets recorded for specific
acquisitions.

the principal component of notes payable, are due upon demand.

    At December 31, 1994, the Parent's unused committed lines of credit
totaled $30 million.

    The Corporation paid $319,139,000, $296,483,000 and $383,986,000 in
interest on deposits and short-term borrowings in 1994, 1993 and 1992,

In 1994, Crestar completed the sale of $150 million of 8 3/4%
subordinated notes due November 15, 2004. Net of underwriting discounts,
the notes resulted in net proceeds to the Corporation of $148.6 million.
Proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate
purposes, including cash requirements for pending acquisitions
discussed in note 2.

     Neither the 8 3/4% nor the 8 1/4% subordinated notes are redeemable
prior to maturity. The 8 5/8% subordinated notes may not be exchanged or
redeemed prior to maturity, except upon the occurrence of certain events
relating to the federal income tax treatment of the notes to the
Corporation. The 8 3/4%, 8 1/4% and 8 5/8% subordinated notes all
qualify as Tier 2 capital 

                                   46

for federal bank regulatory purposes. Expenses
relating to the issuance of the 8 3/4%, 8 1/4% and 8 5/8% notes are
being amortized to maturity on a straight-line basis. Outstanding debt
agreements at December 31, 1994 place restrictions upon the disposal of
subsidiaries' common stock.

     During 1994, all remaining 5% convertible subordinated debentures
were converted into 12,210 common shares of Crestar. Upon conversion to
common stock, the unamortized expense attributable to the 5% debentures
was charged to capital surplus.

     During 1994, $23,174,000 of collateralized mortgage obligation
bonds were assumed in the acquisitions of Virginia Federal and Annapolis
discussed in note 2. Federal Home Loan Bank obligations of $10,000,000
were assumed in the acquisition of NVR Savings.

     Mortgage indebtedness consists of the debt relating to two pledged
facilities owned by Crestar Bank which have an aggregate carrying value
of $21,903,000 at December 31, 1994. Mortgage payments in 1994,
including interest, were $4,066,000; payments in 1995 are expected to be
$1,528,000.

     The Corporation made payments of $17,662,000, $17,928,000 and
$13,534,000 in interest on long-term debt in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income were:

In addition to the state and local income tax expenses above, which
pertain to the non-bank affiliates and to the non-Virginia banks,
Crestar Bank incurred Virginia bank franchise taxes of $3,199,000 in
1994, $2,810,000 in 1993 and $2,845,000 in 1992. This tax is imposed on
banks in Virginia in lieu of income and personal property taxes. Crestar
Bank remits 80 percent of the tax to the Virginia municipalities in
which it does business and the remaining 20 percent to the Commonwealth
of Virginia.

     The differences between the amounts computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes and the
actual income tax expense allocated to operations were:

The Corporation made income tax payments of $79,708,000, $52,234,000 and
$37,371,000 during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

     Effective January 1, 1993, Crestar adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" as discussed
in note 1(j). The sources and tax effects of temporary differences that
gave rise to significant portions of deferred income tax assets
(liabilities) at December 31 were:

   Net Deferred Income Tax Asset                   $103,387     $ 48,717

The net deferred income tax asset is included in other assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. There was no valuation
allowance relating to the net deferred income tax asset at December 31,
1994 and 1993. The net deferred income tax asset at January 1, 1993,
included a valuation allowance of $1.1 million representing a capital
loss carryforward expiring in 1998. This allowance was reduced to zero
during 1993 as a result of a decrease in the corresponding temporary
difference. Crestar has sufficient taxable income in the available
carryback periods and future taxable income from reversing taxable
differences to realize substantially all of its deferred income tax
assets. Management believes, based on the Corporation's history of
generating significant earnings and expectations of future earnings,
that it is more likely than not that all recorded deferred income tax
assets will be realized.

     The primary timing differences and the resulting deferred income
tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 1992, were:

The tax returns through 1990 have either been examined or are no longer
subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). During
1994, the IRS completed an examination of the tax returns for 1988
through 1990. There was no material effect on consolidated earnings.
Also during 1994, the IRS began an examination of the tax returns for
1991 through 1993. Management believes that any deficiency that may be
determined will not have a material effect on consolidated earnings.

(14) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

During 1994 and 1993 the Corporation purchased and retired 1,120,300 and
522,300 shares of common stock at an average cost of $43.25 and $40.31
per share, respectively. There were no shares of common stock purchased
and retired in 1992.

     During 1994, all remaining subordinated debentures were converted
to shares of common stock as discussed in note 12. During 1993 and 1992,
$2,000 and $17,000 of subordinated debentures were converted to 216 and
1,837 shares of common stock, respectively.

     At December 31, 1994, common stock was reserved for issuance to
directors, officers or employees, with respect to stock options
granted from 1987 through 1994 as explained in note 18. There were
2,300,000 shares reserved for the Performance Equity Plan and the 1993
Stock Incentive Plan, which provide awards to key executives based upon
attainment of specific long-term corporate goals. No shares were
beneficially owned by a subsidiary.

     In December 1993, all 900,000 shares of the Adjustable Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock Series B were redeemed at 103% of the stock's
stated value, or a price per share of $51.50, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends. 

     In 1992, Crestar completed the public offering and sale of
3,450,000 shares of common stock at $29.25 per share, providing a net
addition of $97.1 million to shareholders' equity.

     Average common and common equivalent shares used in the
determination of earnings per share were:

Fully diluted earnings per common share are calculated using net

net of tax effect, relating to the outstanding 5% convertible
subordinated debentures. Net income for 1993 and 1992 is further reduced
by the dividends applicable to the Series B preferred stock. The

(16) REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS

Crestar Bank, Crestar Bank N.A. and Crestar Bank MD (Banks) are subject
to certain requirements imposed by state and federal banking statutes
and regulations. These requirements, among other things, establish
minimum levels for capital and restrict the amount of dividends that may
be distributed and the amount of loans that may be made by the Banks to
the Parent and require that the Banks maintain a minimum reserve balance
with the Federal Reserve Bank.

     Under the current supervisory practices of the Banks' regulatory
agencies, prior approval from those agencies is required if cash
dividends declared in any given year exceed net income for that year
plus retained earnings of the two preceding years. The amount of
dividends available to the Parent from the Banks at January 1, 1995,
without prior approval, was approximately $132.0 million. Cash
dividends paid by the Banks to the Parent in 1994, 1993 and 1992 were
$95.2 million, $93.8 million and $30.1 million, respectively.

     Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act imposes limitations on the
amount of credit that may be extended to the Parent by the Banks.
Generally, up to 10% of the Banks' regulatory capital, surplus,
undivided profits, allowance for loan losses and contingency reserves
may be loaned by the Banks to the Parent. As of December 31, 1994,
$127.3 million of credit was available to the Parent under this
limitation, although no extensions of credit were outstanding.

     For the reserve maintenance period in effect at December 31, 1994
and 1993, the Banks were required to maintain average daily balances
totaling approximately $343.0 million and $339.6 million, respectively,
with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of reserve balances
for the year ended December 31, 1994 totaled approximately $431.1
million.

     As of January 1, 1994, aggregate loans to directors and executive
officers and their associates were $10,854,000. Additions and repayments
totaled $228,000 and $1,957,000 respectively, during 1994 and the
balance was $9,125,000 at year end. These loans were made in the
ordinary course of business and were arms-length in terms of credit
risk, interest rates and collateral requirements prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions. These loans do not represent more than a
normal credit risk. None of these loans were nonaccrual, past due or
restructured at December 31, 1994.

(17) PENSION PLANS

As of December 31, 1994, the Corporation had various non-contributory
defined benefit pension plans. Benefits under the plans are based on
length of service and a percentage of qualifying compensation during the
final years of employment. The Corporation's funding policy is to
contribute annually the maximum amount that can be contributed for
federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not
only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those
expected to be earned in the future.

     Net periodic pension expense in 1994, 1993 and 1992 includes:

(18) OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Corporation maintains a stock incentive plan which allows for the
granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options to all employees
on a discretionary basis. The Corporation also maintains a stock option
plan under which no future options will be granted, but under which
previously granted options were outstanding at December 31, 1994. Stock
options are granted at prices equal to the fair market value of the
stock on the date of grant. Options are exercisable starting one year
from the date of grant, or upon retirement, disability or death; options
expire seven years from the date of grant for options granted prior to
1989 and ten years from the date of grant for options granted in 1989
and thereafter. Effective in January 1992, all stock appreciation rights
(SARs), which had previously been granted in tandem with options, were
canceled. No new grants of SARs have been made since that time.

     Summarized activity relating to options and SARs follows:

The Corporation provides postretirement life and contributory health
insurance benefit plans for eligible retirees. Since 1993, the cost of
such benefits have been accrued in a manner similar to pension costs.
Prior to 1993, such costs were expensed when paid. Postretirement
benefits expense for periods prior to 1993 have not been restated.

     The projected status of Crestar's postretirement life and
contributory health insurance benefit plans for eligible retirees as of

The weighted average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered benefits for health insurance is 12% for 1995 and is
assumed to decrease gradually to 7% in 1999 and remain at that level
thereafter. Increasing the assumed health care trend rates by one
percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation for the medical plan by approximately
$3.8 million, and would increase the aggregate of the service and
interest components of net postretirement benefit expense by
approximately $350 thousand for 1994. The weighted average discount rate
used in projecting the accumulated plan benefit obligation was 8.5% for
1994, and the average rate of annual compensation increase was 5%.

     The Corporation maintains a grantor trust to pay certain employee
benefits as they become due. Assets of the trust are restricted to use
for applicable employee benefit plans, including deferred compensation
and medical benefit plans. Such trust assets of approximately $62
million and $63 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, are
included in the Corporation's total assets.

    The Corporation has thrift and profit-sharing plans covering
substantially all full-time employees beginning January 1 after date of
hire. The Corporation makes matching contributions of 50 cents for every
$1 of employee contributions to the thrift plan, up to 6 percent of base
pay. Employer profit-sharing contributions are determined by applying a
formula based on return on equity to covered compensation. Thrift and
profit-sharing plan expenses totaled $16.5 million, $11.0 million and
$8.3 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

(22) COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, Crestar is a party to commitments,
contingent liabilities and other financial instruments that are not
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate
caps, floors and collars, swaps, and forward contracts are some of the
vehicles used by Crestar in meeting the financing needs of its customers
and managing its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These
items involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance
sheets. Any losses which may result from these transactions are not
expected to have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Notional principal amounts often are used to
express the volume of the transaction, but the amounts potentially
subject to credit risk are much

</TABLE>

    Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend
to a customer which typically contain clauses that permit cancellation
of the commitment in the event of credit deterioration of the borrower.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Crestar
to guarantee the performance of customers to a third party. Crestar
receives a commitment fee for entering into such agreements.

    The credit risk associated with commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is similar to direct lending; therefore, all
of these items are subject to the Corporation's loan approval and review
procedures and policies. Based upon management's credit evaluation of
the customer, Crestar may require the customer to provide various types
of collateral as security for the agreement, including balances on
deposit, investment securities, real estate and inventory. The maximum
credit risk associated with commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit assumes that the counterparty defaults and the
collateral proves to be worthless.

    The total contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements, since many of 

                                   56
<PAGE>

these items are expected to expire without
being drawn upon. At December 31, 1994, approximately $15.0 million of
the standby letters of credit and $20.1 million of the commercial and
similar letters of credit were participated to other financial
institutions.

    A geographic concentration exists within Crestar's loan portfolio
since most of Crestar's business activity is with customers located in
Virginia, Maryland or Washington, DC. Based upon Standard Industrial
Classification codes used for regulatory purposes, the Corporation had
no aggregate loan concentration of 10% or more of total loans in any
particular industry at December 31, 1994. However, under a broader view
of the portfolio, Crestar had $1.1 billion in loans outstanding to real
estate developers and investors at year-end 1994. These loans are
diversified by geographic region within Crestar's market and by project
type and are made in accordance with the Corporation's normal credit and
underwriting guidelines and risk management policies.

    The Corporation services mortgage loans other than those included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements and, in some cases,
accepts a recourse liability on the serviced loans. At December 31,
1994, approximately $531.2 million of the balance of these loans
serviced with recourse was insured by agencies of the Federal government
or private insurance companies.

    As a financial institution, Crestar entails a degree of interest
rate risk as a provider of banking services to its customers. This risk
can be managed through derivative interest rate contracts, such as
interest rate swaps, caps and floors. Changes in the fair value of such
derivatives are generally offset by changes in the implied fair value of
the underlying hedged asset or liability. As hedges against interest
rate risk at December 31, 1994, Crestar was participating in interest
rate (fixed receive) swaps, $1.31 billion of which were used to convert
certain variable rate commercial and real estate loans to fixed rates,
and $150 million were used to convert variable rate securities to fixed
rates. Crestar also had interest rate floor agreements outstanding on
December 31, 1994, which the Corporation uses to minimize interest rate
risk associated with variable rate assets. In addition, Crestar serves
as a financial intermediary in interest rate swap, cap, collar and floor
agreements, providing risk management services to customers. As an
intermediary, Crestar typically becomes a principal in the exchange of
interest payments between parties and, therefore, is exposed to loss
should one of the parties default. The Corporation performs normal
credit review on each counterparty and minimizes its exposure to the
interest rate risk inherent in these items by entering into offsetting
positions or by using hedging techniques to minimize risk.

    The notional amount of these over-the-counter traded interest rate
swaps, caps, collars and floors does not represent Crestar's credit
exposure, which the Corporation believes is a combination of current
replacement cost (approximately $2.2 million at December 31, 1994) plus
an amount for additional market movement (approximately $35.7 million at
December 31, 1994). Three counterparties constituted 35%, 16% and 12% of
the estimated credit exposure at December 31, 1994.

    Crestar has also entered into $266.4 million (contract amount) of
forward agreements to reduce the interest rate risk arising from changes
in market rates from the time residential mortgage lending commitments
are made until those commitments are funded.

    Crestar may, from time to time, enter into certain derivative
contracts, such as purchased futures or options contracts, for trading
purposes as discussed in note 1(c). Such contract amounts were not
material in 1994.

    The fair values of commitments to extend credit, standby letters of
credit and commercial and similar letters of credit were estimated based
on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking
into account the remaining terms of the agreements and creditworthiness
of counterparties. Unfunded loan commitments are generally priced at
market at the time of funding and are subject to certain credit
standards. The fair values of forward agreements are estimated based on
current settlement values. The fair values of interest rate swaps, caps
and floors are estimated based on the amount the Corporation would
receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements. Such amounts
are determined using a valuation model which considers current market
yields, counterparty credit risk and other relevant variables. The
carrying value of interest rate swaps, caps and floors, and other
off-balance sheet financial instruments was not material at December 31,
1994 and 1993.

    Certain litigation is pending against Crestar. Management, after
reviewing this litigation with legal counsel, is of the opinion that
these matters, when resolved, will not have a material effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(23) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107),
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," defines the
fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. As the majority of
Crestar's financial instruments lack an available trading market,
significant estimates, assumptions and present value calculations are
required to determine estimated fair value. Comparability among
financial institutions is difficult due to the wide range of acceptable
valuation techniques and the subjectivity of required assumptions.
Crestar's remaining assets and liabilities, not considered financial
instruments, have not been valued differently than customary, historical
cost accounting, nor have lines of business been separately valued.
Information regarding the estimated fair values of Crestar's financial
instruments at December 31 follows:

The carrying amounts in the table are included in the consolidated
balance sheets under the indicated captions, except for off balance
sheet financial instruments which are discussed in note 22.

    The carrying value of cash and due from bank balances and money
market investments approximates fair value. Financial instruments
actively traded in a secondary market, such as securities, were valued
using available quoted market prices.

    The Corporation's loan portfolio was valued based on estimated
future cash flows, discounted at various rates. The discount rates used
were commensurate with rates paid on U.S. Treasury securities with
various maturity dates, adjusted for noninterest operating costs,
anticipated credit losses and prepayment risk. The estimated fair
value of the loan portfolio excludes the intangible value attributable
to account relationships, including bank card, home equity line or
similar revolving line of credit arrangements.

    Other financial instrument assets consist largely of customers'
liability on acceptances and accrued interest receivable, for which
carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of other
financial instruments included in other assets was based on estimates of
the present value of future net cash flows.


    The carrying value of demand deposits, interest checking deposits,
money market deposit accounts and regular savings deposits is defined by
SFAS 107 to approximate fair value. Deposits with stated maturities were
valued based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at various
rates. The discount rates used were commensurate with rates paid on U.S.
Treasury securities, adjusted for factors such as operating expenses and
prepayment risk. The estimated fair value of deposits excludes the
intangible value attributable to long-term relationships with
depositors.

    The carrying value of short-term borrowings approximates fair value.
Long-term debt was valued based on interest rates currently available to
Crestar for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

    Other financial instrument liabilities consist largely of liability
on acceptances, interest payable on deposits and balances due upon
settlement of securities purchases, for which carrying value
approximates fair value. The fair value of other financial instrument
liabilities was estimated based on estimates of the present value of
future net cash payments.

CRESTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crestar
Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993
and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and
changes in shareholders' equity for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1994. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Crestar Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation changed its method of
accounting to adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

/s/ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
Richmond, Virginia
January 12, 1995

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

The financial statements on pages 34 to 59 have been prepared by
management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and include some amounts that are necessarily based on our best
estimates and judgments. We are responsible for the accuracy, integrity,
objectivity, consistency and fair presentation of the financial
statements and all other financial information contained in this Annual
Report. One way we fulfill these responsibilities is by relying on a
system of internal controls, which has been designed to ensure that
transactions are properly authorized and recorded in our financial
records. Included in the system is an internal auditing function that
independently assesses the effectiveness of internal controls and
recommends possible improvements thereto. Because of inherent
limitations in any system of controls, there can be no absolute
assurance that errors or irregularities will not occur. Nevertheless,
we believe that our system of internal controls provides reasonable
assurance as to the integrity and reliability of our financial records.

    Some of the financial information in this Annual Report is presented
on a tax-equivalent basis to improve comparative analysis. In addition,
some of the business segment information incorporates allocation methods
for which there is no generally accepted accounting principles. However,
in all other respects, it is consistent with the audited financial
statements.

    Through its Audit committee, which is composed of directors who are
not officers or employees of the Corporation, the Board of Directors
fulfills its oversight responsibility for determining that the
accounting policies employed by management in preparing the
Corporation's financial statements are appropriate and that our system
of internal controls is adequately reviewed and maintained. The
Committee periodically reviews, with management and the internal
auditors, accounting policies, control procedures, and audit and
regulatory examination reports of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.
In addition, our independent auditors meet regularly with and have full
and free access to the Committee, privately and with management present,
to discuss the results of their audits and other auditing, accounting
and financial reporting matters. The Committee reports to the full Board
after each of its meetings.

    KPMG Peat Marwick LLP have audited the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Their report, located above, represents their
judgment as to whether our consolidated financial statements present
fairly our financial position and results of operations and cash flows
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    We are committed to ensure that corporate affairs are conducted in
accordance with consistently applied standards of conduct applicable to
all officers and associates. In essence, everyone is expected to manage
their responsibilities with integrity. Our standards provide guidance on
general business conduct, political activities, community involvement,
outside employment and business activities, conflict of interests,
personal finances, and the use and safeguard of confidential
information.

STATEMENT OF BUSINESS
CRESTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Crestar Financial Corporation (Crestar) is the holding company for
Crestar Bank (Virginia), Crestar Bank N.A. (Washington, DC), and Crestar
Bank MD (Maryland). At December 31, 1994, Crestar Financial Corporation
had $10.9 billion in total deposits, and $1.1 billion in total
shareholders' equity.

          In 1963, six Virginia banks combined to form United Virginia
Bankshares Incorporated (UVB), a Virginia stock corporation and
registered bank holding company. During the 1960s and 1970s, UVB
acquired 18 other Virginia banks and formed one de novo bank. On
December 31, 1979, all of the UVB banks were merged into United Virginia
Bank. During the 1980s, nine more banks were acquired, including NS&T
Bank, N.A. in the District of Columbia in 1985 and Bank of Bethesda in
Maryland in 1986. In September 1987, UVB changed its name to Crestar
Financial Corporation and its bank subsidiaries adopted their present
names, all using the common identifier "Crestar." Since 1990, Crestar
Financial Corporation has acquired 15 banks and thrifts in Virginia,
Maryland and Washington, DC.

          Crestar Financial Corporation is supervised and examined by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHCA). The BHCA Act requires Federal
Reserve approval for bank acquisitions and regulates nonbanking
activities of bank holding companies. Deposits of Crestar's three
subsidiary banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC). At December 31, 1994, approximately 65% of Crestar's
deposits were insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) of the FDIC, with
the remainder insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF)
of the FDIC. Each subsidiary has a different group of regulators:
Crestar Bank, the lead bank located in Virginia, is regulated by the
State Corporation Commission of Virginia and the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond; Crestar Bank N.A. of Washington, DC is regulated by the
Comptroller of the Currency; and Crestar Bank MD of Maryland is
regulated by the Maryland Bank Commissioner and the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond.

          The BHCA currently prohibits acquisition of a bank located
outside the state in which the operations of a holding company's banking
subsidiaries are principally conducted unless the acquisition is
specifically authorized by a statute of the state in which the target
bank is located. Under recently enacted federal legislation, the
restriction on interstate acquisitions will be abolished effective
September 1995, and thereafter bank holding companies from any state
will be able to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in any
other state, subject to certain conditions, including nationwide and
state imposed concentration limits. Banks also will be able to branch
across state lines by acquisition, merger or de novo, effective June 1,
1997 (unless state law permits interstate branching at an earlier date),
if state law expressly permits interstate branching.

          A fundamental principle underlying the Federal Reserve's
supervision and regulation of bank holding companies is that bank
holding companies should be a source of managerial and financial
strength to their subsidiary banks. Subsidiary banks in turn are to be
operated in a manner that protects the overall soundness of the
institution and the safety of deposits. Bank regulators can take various
remedial measures to deal with banks and bank holding companies that
fail to meet legal and regulatory standards.

          The 1989 Financial Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act
(FIRREA) expanded federal regulatory enforcement powers. The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) created
five capital-based supervisory levels for banks and requires bank
holding companies to guarantee compliance with capital restoration plans
of under-capitalized insured depository affiliates. All three Crestar
banks were considered "well-capitalized" under regulatory definitions in
effect at December 31, 1994, the highest rating presently available.

          Crestar serves customers through a network of 336 banking
offices and 278 automated teller machines as of December 31, 1994. The
Crestar banks offer a broad range of banking services, including various
types of deposit accounts and instruments, commercial and consumer
loans, trust and investment management services, bank credit cards, and
international banking services. Services also are provided through
non-bank subsidiaries. Crestar Insurance Agency, Inc. offers a variety
of personal and business insurance products. Securities brokerage and
investment banking services are offered by Crestar Securities
Corporation. Mortgage loan origination, servicing, and wholesale lending
are offered by Crestar Mortgage Corporation, and Capitoline Investment
Services Incorporated provides investment advisory services. Both
Crestar Mortgage and Capitoline are subsidiaries of Crestar Bank.

          The mission of Crestar Financial Corporation is to provide a
broad array of financial products and services at a price that
represents the best value for our customers' money, and, by doing so, to
provide a superior return for our shareholders.

          Crestar's executive offices are located at Crestar Center, 919
East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia. Regional headquarters are located
in Norfolk and Roanoke, Virginia and in Washington, DC. Crestar's
Operations Center is located in Richmond.

Dear Richard:

This letter is to advise you of two changes to your severance agreement
with Crestar Financial Corporation dated January 1, 1990 (the
"Agreement").  On December 16, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a
one-year extension of the Agreement - until December 31, 1997.  In
addition, the Board passed a resolution amending your Agreement to
remove any reference to reduction in benefits due to income earned
during the term of the Agreement.

Accordingly, paragraph 6(B) of your Agreement is revised to read as
follows:
        (B)  Neither you nor any Record Owner is required to mitigate
        the amount of any payment provided for in Section 5.  In
        addition, you are not required to mitigate the amount of your
        benefit entitlement under the Plan, nor, despite any provision
        of the Plan to the contrary, may the amount of your benefit
        entitlement under the Plan be reduced or adjusted by any
        compensation or benefits received by you that are Mitigation
        Amounts.

If you consent to these modifications to your Agreement, please sign and
return to me the enclosed copy of this letter.

Sincerely,

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING, OCTOBER 28, 1994

APPROVAL OF SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
BOARD APPROVAL REQUIRED

RESOLVED, The the appropriate officers of the Corporation are hereby
authorized and directed to design, adopt and implement a Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan as described in the attached exhibit, and with
such other terms as such officers may deem appropriate or necessary to
carry out the actions required by this resolution.


<PAGE>

BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OCTOBER 28, 1994
PROPOSED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN


PURPOSE:       Retirement benefits payable to Crestar's senior executive
               offers under qualified and nonqualified plans are not
               competitive with other banks in our peer group.  A
               supplemental executive retirement plan can meet this
               competitive need and also promote flexibility in
               retirement planning for executives and the Corporation.

ELIGIBILITY:   Officers in grades 41 and above

BENEFIT:       Annual benefit based single life annuity providing 50% of
               executive s average 3 year total compensation (base
               salary plus bonus) reduced by benefits payable under
               Retirement Plan, Additional Nonqualified Executive Plan
               and Excess Plan, commencing at age 60 with 20 years of
               service; payment options same as annuity options
               available under the Retirement Plan.  Early retirement
               benefit payable at ages 55 through 59, with 5% reduction
               per year prior to age 60.

VESTING:       Fully vested at age 55 with 20 years of service

FUNDING:       Payable from general assets

AMENDMENT &    Board may amend or terminate at any time, provided that
TERMINATION    consent must be obtained from (a) any participant who has
               reached age 55 and has 20 years of service, and (b) any
               participant or beneficiary who is in pay status if any
               such amendment or termination would reduce the
               participant's or beneficiary's benefit.

CHANGE         Agreement is binding on Crestar's successor.  Any
IN Control:    participant whose employment terminates following a
               change in control and who has 20 years of service
               (with Crestar and its successor) may elect to begin
               receiving plan benefits prior to age 55, provided that
               such benefit is proportionately reduced.
