Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Crestar Financial Corporation And Subsidiaries

(1)  General

The consolidated financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The
accompanying interim statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements, including adjustments related to completed
business combinations, have been included. All adjustments are of a normal
nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years'
consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation. The notes
included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated
financial statements included in the Corporation's 1995 Annual Report and Form
10-K and the Corporation's First Quarter 1996 Financial Supplement and Form
10-Q.

   On December 31, 1995 Crestar Financial Corporation (Crestar) merged with
Loyola Capital Corporation (Loyola), a Maryland savings bank holding company, in
a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, historical
financial data for periods before the merger, including the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1995 have been restated to include the combined results of
Crestar and Loyola.

   On June 6, 1996 Crestar completed its previously announced acquisition of
approximately $150 million in deposits, plus selected loans, of ten branches of
Mellon Bank (MD), a bank operating in the Maryland suburbs of the Washington, DC
area. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
results of operations of the acquired branches were included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. Such results of
operations for the periods prior to the acquisition date were not material to
the results of operations of Crestar. The excess of cost over the estimated fair
value of the tangible assets and liabilities acquired was recorded as an
intangible asset of $10.2 million on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet.

   Intangible assets consisted of goodwill and deposit based intangibles, having
a combined balance of $187,551,000 and $163,766,000 at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and favorable lease rights of $455,000 and $528,000, respectively.

   Capitalized mortgage servicing rights of $42,123,000 and $23,555,000 at June
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were included in other assets in the
consolidated financial statements. Mortgage servicing rights of approximately
$23 million were purchased or originated during the first six months of 1996. At
June 30, 1996 and 1995, mortgage servicing rights were net of a related
valuation allowance of $305,000 and $213,000, respectively. The activity in such
valuation allowance was not material to the consolidated financial statements
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996. The fair value of
capitalized mortgage servicing rights was approximately $53 million at June 30,
1996. Such fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow method, with
discount rates based on secondary market sources, adjusted for prepayment
estimates and differences in servicing and credit costs. Amortization of
capitalized mortgage servicing rights was $3.5 million for the first six months
of 1996.

At June 30, 1996, the amortized cost and market value of Mortgage-backed
obligations of Federal agencies includes the amortized cost and market value,
respectively, of interest rate caps purchased to hedge, in a rising interest
rate environment, the market value of fixed rate securities available for sale.
The interest rate caps, which have a notional balance of $1.55 billion, have a
cost basis of $19.5 million and a market value of $20.2 million at June 30,
1996. The cost basis of the interest rate caps is being amortized on a
straight-line basis, over the life of the cap, as a reduction of interest income
on securities available for sale.

The Corporation made income tax payments of $62,462,000 and $49,287,000 during
the first six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. At June 30, 1996, the
Corporation had a net deferred income tax asset of $113,033,000. There was no
valuation allowance relating to the net deferred income tax asset. Crestar has
sufficient taxable income in the available carryback period to realize all of
its deferred income tax assets.

(11)  Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments, contingent
liabilities and other financial instruments that are not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. These include commitments to
extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate caps, swaps and forward
contracts.

   Legally binding, unfunded commitments to extend credit were $6.9 billion at
June 30, 1996. Standby letters of credit, which are conditional commitments to
extend credit, were $408 million at June 30, 1996.

   Recourse obligations on mortgage loans serviced of $1.4 billion at June 30,
1996 include $152 million of contractual recourse liability accepted by Crestar
on mortgage loan sales to the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). Crestar maintained an allowance
included in other liabilities of $306,000 at June 30, 1996 based on estimates of
future losses on this contractual recourse liability. The remaining notional
balance of recourse obligations of $1.3 billion results from the origination and
acquisition by Crestar of mortgage servicing rights on Federal Housing
Association and Veterans' Association loans, which are serviced under programs
of the Government National Mortgage Association. Approximately $896 million of
this notional balance was insured by agencies of the Federal government or
private insurance companies at June 30, 1996.

   As hedges against interest rate risk at June 30, 1996 Crestar was
participating in interest rate (fixed receive) swaps of $1.4 billion (notional
balance), of which $950 million, $250 million and $200 million were used to
convert floating rate commercial, instalment and real estate mortgage loans,
respectively, to fixed rates. Unrealized gross losses on such swaps were $22.3
million at June 30, 1996. Crestar also had interest rate cap agreements
outstanding at June 30, 1996, $1.55 billion (notional balance) of which was used
to hedge, in a rising interest rate environment, the market value of fixed rate
securities available for sale. The remaining $40 million was used to minimize
interest rate risk associated with rising rates on floating rate money market
deposits. Unrealized gross gains and gross losses on such caps were $2.2 million
and $1.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 1996. As a financial intermediary,
Crestar had $112.2 million in offsetting swap, $50 million in offsetting cap and
$40.8 million in offsetting collar agreements at June 30, 1996.

   The notional amount of these over-the-counter traded interest rate swaps,
caps and collars does not fully represent Crestar's credit and market exposure,
which the Corporation believes is a combination of current replacement cost (any
unrealized gain plus accrued receivable) of approximately $21.9 million, less
collateral held of approximately $10.9 million, plus an amount for additional
market movement. Four counterparties constituted 16%, 14%, 12% and 10% of the
estimated credit and market exposure of $139.3 million at June 30, 1996.

   Crestar had forward agreements of $1.01 billion outstanding at June 30, 1996
which are primarily used 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.

   Legislative efforts to resolve the undercapitalization of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the FDIC, and the disparity in deposit
insurance premiums for SAIF-insured deposits and deposits insured under the Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF), may result in a one-time special assessment on
SAIF-insured deposits. Earnings in 1996 may be impacted if a legislatively
proposed one-time assessment of approximately 75 basis points (0.75%) on
SAIF-insured deposits is enacted. Any one-time assessment on SAIF-insured
deposits would impact each of Crestar's three bank subsidiaries and one savings
bank subsidiary. Approximately 45% of Crestar's current deposit base is
SAIF-insured. A 75 basis point assessment, on an after-tax basis, would result
in a one-time charge to Crestar of approximately $24 million. As a consequence
of the one-time assessment, future earnings would likely be augmented by a
reduction in ongoing SAIF assessment rates. The estimated $24 million charge for
Crestar reflects a possible 20% reduction in the assessments on certain
SAIF-insured deposits (known as Oakar deposits) acquired by banks in thrift
acquisitions. Crestar would accrue such a liability if and when such legislation
is enacted into law.

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

Financial Commentary
Crestar Financial Corporation And Subsidiaries

Overview
(Tables 1, 2 and 14)
Crestar Financial Corporation (Crestar) reported record net income of $56.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $5.0 million or 10%
over net income earned in the second quarter of 1995. For the first six months,
earnings were $112.2 million in 1996, an increase of 11% from the $101.4 million
earned in 1995. These increases reflect the continued positive effects of growth
in earning assets and noninterest income, and management of controllable
expenses. Earnings per common share were $1.31 for the second quarter of 1996,
compared to $1.18 in 1995. For the first six months of 1996, earnings per common
share were $2.58, an increase of 11% from the $2.32 per share recorded in the
first six months of 1995. The predominant items affecting the change in earnings
per share are given in Table 2. Each item is net of applicable federal income
taxes. On December 31, 1995 Crestar merged with Loyola Capital Corporation
(Loyola), a Maryland savings bank holding company, in a transaction accounted
for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, historical financial data for
periods before the merger, including the first six months of 1995, have been
restated to include the combined results of Crestar and Loyola. Crestar's net
income for the fourth quarter of 1995 was reduced by $29.3 million in one-time
merger expenses associated with the merger with Loyola. Excluding the
non-recurring charges, net income for the fourth quarter of 1995 was $55.6
million, or $1.28 per share.

   Crestar's subsidiaries provide banking and non-banking services throughout
Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., which compose Crestar's primary market
area. This market is characterized as economically diverse. Crestar's
market area is also characterized by active competition in all principal areas
where the Corporation provides services. In addition to banks, other firms
competing in the market area include savings associations, consumer finance
companies, national credit card companies, securities brokerage firms, credit
unions and mortgage banking companies.

Mergers And Acquisitions
On June 6, 1996 Crestar completed the previously announced purchase of the
deposits and customer accounts, plus selected loans, of ten branches of Mellon
Bank (MD), a bank operating in the Maryland suburbs of the metropolitan
Washington, DC area. The purchase added approximately $150 million in deposits
to Crestar's Maryland bank subsidiary. Also during the second quarter, Crestar
Mortgage Corporation completed its purchase of Ryland Funding Group, a wholesale
mortgage banker operating four loan production offices.

Profitability Measures And Capital Resources
(Table 1)
Increased earnings in both the second quarter and the first six months of 1996
resulted in improvements in key profitability measures over 1995. Return on
average assets was 1.28% in the second quarter and for the first six months of
1996, compared to 1.25% and 1.23%, respectively, for 1995. Return on average
equity was 16.03% for the second quarter of 1996, compared to 14.98% for the
second quarter of 1995. For the first six months of 1996, return on average
equity was 15.72%, compared to 14.89% for the first six months of the previous
year.

   Average equity to assets of 8.01% for the second quarter of 1996 compared to
8.36% in the second quarter of 1995. Average equity to assets for the first six
months of 1996 was 8.16%, compared to 8.29% for the same period of 1995.
Period-end equity to assets was 7.74% at June 30, 1996 compared to a June 30,
1995 ratio of 8.16%.

   Risk-based capital ratios are another measure of capital adequacy. At June
30, 1996, Crestar's consolidated risk-adjusted capital ratios were 8.8% for Tier
1 and 12.0% for total capital, well above the required minimums of 4.0% and
8.0%, respectively. The Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.4% at June 30, 1996 also was
significantly above the regulatory minimum of 3.0%. Crestar's tangible leverage
ratio, defined as total equity less intangible assets divided by total assets
less intangible assets, was 6.8% at June 30, 1996. Under Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) rules, each of Crestar's three subsidiary banks as
well as Crestar's savings bank subsidiary were considered "well-capitalized" as
of June 30, 1996, the highest category of capitalization defined by regulatory
authorities, allowing for the lowest level of FDIC insurance premium payments.
At June 30, 1996, approximately 55% 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.

Net Interest Margin And Net Interest Income
(Tables 3 and 15)
Crestar's net interest margin for the second quarter of 1996 was 4.68%, an
improvement of 7 basis points from the margin recorded in the second quarter of
1995. The improvement was due to favorable changes in rates paid on funding
sources, yields on loan and securities portfolios, and in interest income
arising from off-balance sheet hedge transactions. These factors served to
offset the impact of unfavorable changes in the composition of earning assets
and funding sources.

   Positive influences on the second quarter 1996 margin include favorable
changes in the average rates paid on interest bearing deposits and other sources
of funds. Rates on interest-bearing demand deposits were 2.88% during the second
quarter of 1996, down 38 basis points from the second quarter of 1995. Average
rates paid on regular savings deposits also decreased, from 2.83% in the second
quarter of 1995 to 2.54% in the second quarter of 1996. While rates paid on
domestic time deposits edged up, from 5.12% in the second quarter of 1995 to
5.20% in the second quarter of 1996, the average rate paid on total savings and
time deposits fell from 3.94% to 3.76% during this time period. Yields on
short-term borrowings and long-term debt also declined from the levels of second
quarter 1995. The average rate paid on Crestar's total sources of funds in the
second quarter of 1996 was 3.56%, reflecting a decline of 16 basis points from
the same period of 1995.

   The yield on average loans increased 8 basis points from the second quarter
of 1995, to 8.89%. Average rates on bank card loans increased from 11.36% in the
second quarter of 1995 to 12.51% in the second quarter of 1996, in part due to
the expiration of low introductory loan interest rates on selected bank card
accounts. Yields on real estate-income property loans also increased from second
quarter 1995 results, while other loan categories displayed stable or lower
yields. Despite a lower interest rate environment in the second quarter of 1996,
the average yield on loan balances outstanding increased slightly, from 8.81% in
the second quarter of 1995 to 8.89% in the second quarter of 1996, due primarily
to the bank card loan portfolio.

   Higher average yields on securities available for sale, which were 6.41% in
second quarter 1996 versus 6.27% in the same period of 1995, further benefited
Crestar's net interest margin. Average yields also increased on the smaller
securities held to maturity portfolio. Yields on money market investments were
5.30% for the second quarter of 1996 versus 6.14% for the second quarter of
1995, in part reflecting a lower average federal funds rate on overnight
deposits. In total, interest rate spreads had a positive impact of 14 basis
points on Crestar's second quarter 1996 net interest margin, when compared to
the second quarter of 1995.

   Changes in the earning asset mix decreased the second quarter 1996 net
interest margin by approximately 8 basis points when compared to the second
quarter of 1995. Loans as a percentage of total earning assets decreased from an
average of 79% during the second quarter of 1995 to 72% for the same period of
1996. Average total loans were $11.5 billion during the second quarter of 1996,
compared to $11.7 billion during the second quarter of 1995. Average bank card
loans experienced a slight decline during the second quarter as marketing
efforts for these accounts were curtailed pending a reassessment of credit
and charge-off experience and trends. Average consumer real estate loans
were down $621 million, or 17%, from second quarter 1995, with average
instalment loan balances increasing by $401 million or 17% during this period.
Reductions in consumer real estate mortgage loans reflect efforts to rebalance
the Corporation's loan portfolio, through selected sales of residential mortgage
loans, following the 1995 acquisitions of several savings and loan institutions.
Average business loans for the second quarter were relatively unchanged from
prior year balances. Average money market investments decreased, from $321
million in the second quarter of 1995 to $298 million for the same quarter of
1996. Significant increases in average balances of mortgage loans held for sale
reflect higher mortgage origination volumes in Crestar's mortgage banking
subsidiary. Average balances in the second quarter of 1996 were $864 million,
representing 5% of average total earning assets during this period. Average
balances during the second quarter of 1995 were $294 million.

   With regards to funding sources, interest-bearing deposits represented 65% of
total funding sources in the second quarter of 1996, versus 70% of funding
sources in the same period of 1995. Increased competitive pricing for deposits
among financial institutions resulted in decreases in average balances for
regular savings deposits and domestic time deposits, with average total deposits
experiencing an increase of $180 million, or 1%, from the second quarter of
1995. Average balances of short-term borrowings increased by $914 million during
this same time period. When coupled with the impact of changes to Crestar's
earning asset mix, this resulted in a net 17 basis point decrease in the second
quarter 1996 net interest margin, versus the second quarter of 1995, arising
from changes in Crestar's total balance sheet mix.

<PAGE>

   Off-balance sheet hedge transactions made a positive contribution to net
interest income of $1.1 million during the second quarter of 1996, which was
composed of a $1.1 million increase in interest income and a negligible decrease
in interest expense, based on the underlying asset or liability being hedged. In
the second quarter of 1995 the comparable impact of hedging activity was a
decrease of $1.6 million to Crestar's net interest income, which consisted of a
$1.5 million decrease in interest income and a $0.1 million increase in interest
expense. In comparison to second quarter 1995, such off-balance sheet
transactions had a positive impact of 9 basis points on second quarter 1996's
net interest margin, partially offsetting the unfavorable impact on Crestar's
net interest margin of 17 basis points from changes in balance sheet mix. The
impact of nonperforming assets on second quarter 1996's net interest margin, in
comparison to the same period of 1995, was not significant.

   The extent to which Crestar will be able to maintain its current,
historically high net interest margin is significantly influenced by the
economic environment in our markets and the economic policy of the Federal
Reserve Board, in addition to competitive market conditions for both loans and
deposits. Competitive pressures, especially with regard to deposit rates, may
lead to decreases in net interest margin in future periods.

   As a result of the 7 basis point increase in the net interest margin and a 7%
increase in average earning assets, net interest income for the second quarter
of 1996 increased by $13.5 million, or 8% over the second quarter of 1995.
Tax-equivalent net interest income similarly increased by 8% during this period.

   For the first six months, tax equivalent net interest income increased 6%
over 1995 as a result of a 4 basis point increase in the net interest margin and
a 6% increase in average earning assets. Factors contributing to the increased
year-to-date margin mirror those previously discussed. Changes to the earning
asset mix for the year-to-date period had an unfavorable impact of 2 basis
points, while changes to the funding mix resulted in a 6 basis point negative
impact to the year-to-date margin. Favorable interest rate spreads for the
comparable six month period increased net interest margin by 3 basis points.
Off-balance sheet hedge transactions had a positive impact on the margin, in
comparison to year-to-date 1995 results, of approximately 7 basis points.
Off-balance sheet hedge transactions made a positive contribution to net
interest income of $1.8 million during the first six months of 1996, which was
composed of $1.8 million increase in interest income and a negligible decrease
in interest expense, based on the underlying asset or liability being hedged. In
the first six months of 1995 the comparable impact of hedging activity was a
decrease to Crestar's net interest income of $3.2 million, which consisted of a
$3.1 million decrease in interest income and a $0.1 million increase in interest
expense. Other positive factors, impacting the margin by approximately one basis
point each, were lower levels of nonperforming assets and increases in the
amortization of loan fees recognized as interest income.

Risk Exposures And Credit Quality
(Tables 4 - 7)
Crestar's financial condition as of the end of the second quarter of 1996
exhibited strong overall credit quality. The allowance for loan losses was $237
million at June 30, 1996, representing 2.08% of period-end loans, 267% of
period-end nonperforming assets, and a 319% coverage of nonperforming loans.
Based on current expectations relative to portfolio characteristics and
performance measures including loss projections, management considers the level
of the allowance adequate. Under the Corporation's criteria for classification
of nonperforming loans, loans that are both (a) past due 90 days or more and (b)
not deemed nonaccrual due to an assessment of collectibility are specifically
excluded from the definition of nonperforming assets. Accruing loans past due 90
days or more, and excluded from classification as nonperforming assets, totaled
$56.5 million at June 30, 1996, with consumer loans representing 93% of this
balance.

   At June 30, 1996, nonperforming assets of $88.8 million were down $9.0
million or 9% from June 30, 1995, and down $4.6 million from December 31, 1995.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and foreclosed properties at June 30,
1996 was 0.78%, compared to 0.79% at December 31, 1995 and 0.82% at June 30,
1995. 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 the remainder of
1996. However, interim periods in 1996 could show increases in the total balance
of nonperforming assets due to loan growth, future acquisitions of financial
institutions, and the impact of fluctuating interest rates on borrowers and
other credit risk factors inherent with commercial and consumer lending.

<PAGE>

   The provision for loan losses was $22.5 million for the second quarter of
1996, an increase of $8.8 million from the $13.7 million provision expense
recorded in the second quarter of 1995. Provision expense in the first quarter
of 1996 was $20.3 million. Net charge-offs totaled $23.8 million in the second
quarter of 1996, compared to $12.3 million in the comparable period of 1995. Net
charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.83% for the second quarter
of 1996, compared to 0.42% in the same period of 1995, and 0.74% for the first
quarter of 1996. Business loans experienced net recoveries of $1.3 million in
the second quarter of 1996, compared to net recoveries of $705 thousand in the
comparable quarter of 1995. Consumer loan net charge-offs totaled $25.1 million
in the second quarter of 1996, compared to net charge-offs of $23.3 million in
the first quarter of 1996 and $13.0 million in the second quarter of 1995.

   The largest proportion of net loan charge-offs during the second quarter of
1996, and for the first six months of 1996, occurred in the bank card loan
portfolio. Net charge-offs for bank card loans were $20.2 million in the second
quarter of 1996, compared to $18.0 million in the first quarter of 1996 and
$12.2 million in 1995's second quarter. Net bank card loan charge-offs as a
percentage of bank card loans (on an annualized basis) were 5.23% in the second
quarter of 1996, 4.42% for the first quarter of 1996, and 3.11% in the second
quarter of 1995. A primary reason for the increase in net bank card loan
charge-offs is the significant growth of Crestar's bank card portfolio
experienced during 1993 through 1995. In addition, increases in the net bank
card loan charge-off ratio (net bank card loan charge-offs as a percentage of
average bank card loans) reflect an industry-wide trend of adverse payment
performance by consumers, as evidenced by a nationwide rise in consumer loan
delinquencies and bankruptcies. Crestar's recent bank card loan charge-off
experience is similar to industry-wide averages.

   The delinquency and loss characteristics of newly underwritten bank card
loans typically do not reach their highest levels until after 24 months from
origination. Crestar's bank card outstandings, which experienced considerable
growth from 1993 through mid-1995, have experienced higher net charge-off levels
as the newer portfolios have "seasoned." Higher net charge-offs were also
recorded in the consumer instalment loan portfolio in the second quarter of 1996
compared to the second quarter of 1995, while residential real estate net
charge-offs declined. Crestar believes that in the current economic environment
the ratio of net charge-offs to average total loans for the full year 1996 will
increase from the level achieved during the full year of 1995, when net
charge-offs averaged 0.52% of average loans. This expectation recognizes that a
sizable percentage of Crestar's consumer loans, particularly in the bank card
loan portfolio, is reaching an average maturity that should see loss rates peak.
This expectation is based upon assumptions regarding the general economic
climate in Crestar's principal markets, the performance characteristics of the
loan portfolio, and moderate growth in consumer loan portfolios. Changes in
these conditions may produce different results.

   In addition to other loan categories, Crestar closely manages its portfolio
of loans to real estate developers and investors (REDI). As shown in Table 4,
REDI outstanding balances have remained relatively stable and totaled $1.2
billion at June 30, 1996. This balance represented 11% of the total loan
portfolio at that date. At year-end 1995, REDI loan balances also constituted
11% of the total loan portfolio. REDI nonperforming assets were $47.5 million at
June 30, 1996, compared to $50.1 million at December 31, 1995. Table 5 provides
the property type and geographic diversification of the current REDI portfolio.

   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.
Potential problem loans, not included in Table 7, totaled approximately $148
million at June 30, 1996. Approximately 90% of this balance represents
commercial or real estate-income property related loans. Depending on changes in
the economy and other future events, these loans and others not presently
identified as problem loans could be classified as nonperforming assets in the
future. Potential problem loans were $182 million at March 31, 1996 and $202
million at June 30, 1995. Fluctuations in potential problem loans balances from
quarter to quarter should be viewed in the context of the size of Crestar's
total loan portfolio, which was $11.4 billion at June 30, 1996.

<PAGE>

Noninterest Income And Expense
(Table 8)
Noninterest income totaled $86.1 million in the second quarter of 1996, a $13.3
million or 18% increase over the second quarter period of 1995. Excluding
securities gains and losses, noninterest income increased $11.9 million or 16%
over second quarter 1995 results. This increase reflects growth in most
noninterest income categories, with an especially strong increase in mortgage
origination income. Reflecting increased merchant fee volume, bank card-related
fee income increased by $0.6 million, or 5%, in comparison to the second quarter
of 1995. Trust and investment advisory income increased 6% from second quarter
1995 levels, while service charges on deposit accounts increased 5% in
comparison to the second quarter of 1995. Mortgage origination income for the
second quarter of 1996 totaled $10.0 million, or $7.9 million higher than the
results reported in the second quarter of 1995. These results for the second
quarter of 1996 reflect a higher level of gains recorded on the sale of mortgage
loans originated through Crestar's mortgage banking operations. Mortgage
servicing income increased 4% during the quarter. Gains on sale of mortgage
servicing rights totaled $750 thousand in the second quarter of 1996, while
there were no such sales in the second quarter of 1995. During the second
quarter of 1995, Crestar recorded a gain of $4.3 million from the annuitization
of certain pension obligations. This gain is included in "Other income" on the
consolidated statement of income. Miscellaneous noninterest income increased by
$4.7 million over the second quarter of 1995. Gains recorded on the sale of
selected consumer real estate mortgage loans totaled $2.8 million in the second
quarter of 1996, versus $1.1 million in the second quarter of 1995.
Miscellaneous noninterest income categories experiencing increases in comparison
to the second quarter of 1995 include mutual fund income and brokerage fees.

   Noninterest expense increased $7.0 million, or 5%, in the second quarter of
1996 when compared to the same period of 1995. Excluding foreclosed properties
expense, noninterest expense increased 4% in the second quarter of 1996, versus
the second quarter of 1995. Total personnel costs, Crestar's largest expense
category, were $87.2 million in the three month period ended June 30, 1996, an
increase of 5% in comparison to the same period of 1995. A significant portion
of this increase is due to higher commission levels arising from growth in
mortgage origination revenue. Management continues to emphasize prudent control
of noninterest expenses and assimilation of acquisitions in a cost-effective
manner. Decreases in FDIC insurance premium rates, instituted in the third
quarter of 1995 for most bank depository accounts, resulted in lower FDIC
premium expense compared to second quarter 1995 results.

   Foreclosed properties expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $0.3
million, compared to a net recovery of $81 thousand in the quarter ended June
30, 1995. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, foreclosed properties
expense was a net recovery of $1.0 million, compared to a net recovery of $1.5
million for the first six month of 1995. The net recoveries are primarily a
result of gains recorded from sales of properties exceeding foreclosed property
operating expenses during the periods presented.

   The effective tax rate for second quarter and first six months of 1996 was
36.3% and 36.1%, respectively, compared to 33.7% and 34.2% for the comparable
periods of 1995. Reduced proportions of tax-exempt interest and dividends,
increased provisions for state income taxes and higher levels of nondeductible
goodwill contributed to the higher effective tax rates for 1996. Financial
statement note 10 contains additional information concerning income taxes.

Financial Condition
(Table 9)
Crestar's assets totaled $18.5 billion at June 30, 1996, compared to $18.3
billion in assets at December 31, 1995, and $17.2 billion at June 30, 1995. The
increase from June 30, 1995 is primarily due to an increase in the Corporation's
holdings of securities available for sale, and in short-term borrowings. Loans
net of unearned income totaled $11.4 billion at June 30, 1996, compared to $11.8
billion at year-end 1995. Total deposits were $12.8 billion at June 30, 1996
compared to $13.3 billion at December 31, 1995. Total deposits were down
slightly from year-end 1995, as increased competition for deposits resulted in
declines in some deposit categories, including interest bearing demand deposits.
The consolidation of certain branches acquired in the December 31, 1995 merger
with Loyola has also resulted in declines in some deposit balances.

   In the fourth quarter of 1995, Crestar transferred selected securities from
the held to maturity portfolio to the available for sale securities portfolio.

<PAGE>

At the time of transfer, the securities reclassified had a fair market value of
approximately $963 million. The transfer further strengthened the liquidity
position of Crestar by increasing the balance of securities available for sale.
With respect to the securities held to maturity portfolio, market value exceeded
the carrying value at June 30, 1996 by $1.3 million, consisting of $1.9 million
in unrealized gains and $0.6 million in unrealized losses. At June 30, 1996, the
amortized cost of securities available for sale exceeded the fair value of such
securities by $80.6 million, consisting of approximately $4.1 million in
unrealized gains and approximately $84.7 million in unrealized losses.
Shareholders' equity at June 30, 1996 reflects a $51.7 million reduction for the
excess, net of tax, of amortized cost of securities available for sale over the
fair value at quarter-end, compared to an increase of $11.1 million at December
31, 1995 arising from net unrealized gains on securities available for sale. At
June 30, 1995, Crestar's shareholders' equity reflected a $3.3 million reduction
for the excess, net of tax, of amortized cost of securities available for sale
over fair value. The net unrealized gain or loss on securities available for
sale, which is recorded as a component of shareholders' equity, will continue to
be subject to change in future periods due to fluctuations in market value,
acquisition activities, and purchases, sales, maturities and calls of securities
classified as available for sale. Net unrealized losses in the securities
available for sale portfolio primarily reflect ongoing interest rate volatility,
which is inherent in the securities marketplace. Based on current market
conditions, net unrealized losses on securities are not expected to have a
significant impact on the future operating results or liquidity of Crestar.
However, no assurance can be given as to the future direction or volatility of
interest rates.

   All mortgage-backed securities in the securities available for sale and
securities held to maturity portfolios are subject to prepayment risk, since the
mortgage loans underlying these securities can prepay at any time without
penalty. This risk becomes apparent during periods of declining interest rates,
when refinancing of existing mortgage loans can accelerate. During these
periods, the expected maturity of mortgage-backed securities shortens due to
prepayments, reducing the expected stream of future interest payments to be
received. The interest rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgage-backed
securities is considered by management in assessing the overall asset/liability
structure of the Corporation.

   All investment securities, including mortgage backed pass-through securities,
collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) securities, and securitized credit card
receivables, are also managed with respect to their credit risk. Credit risk
arises because payments of interest and principal can be dependent on the
payment of the underlying mortgage or receivable payment where applicable, in
addition to the contractual obligation of the issuer to collect and remit such
payments to the individual security owners. The Corporation monitors credit risk
by assessing, and monitoring on an ongoing basis, the financial strength and
performance of the issuers of such securities. The "Other taxable securities"
classification of Crestar's securities available for sale portfolio (see
footnote 3 to the consolidated financial statements) at June 30, 1996 is
primarily composed of CMO securities with a fair value of approximately $309
million, and pass-through securities backed by credit card receivables of
approximately $74 million (fair value).

   During the second quarter of 1996, Crestar sold approximately $536 million of
securities classified as available for sale, generating securities gains of $288
thousand. Such sales were consummated in conjunction with the overall management
of interest rate risk for the Corporation.

   On July 11, 1996 Crestar's Board of Directors approved the purchase on the
open market of up to 3.4 million shares of the Corporation's outstanding common
stock over the course of the following 18 months. The authorization to purchase
up to 3.4 million shares, which is approximately 8 percent of current
outstanding shares, is in addition to the authorization approved by the Board in
April of this year to purchase up to 1.0 million common shares to meet the
recurring needs of Crestar's dividend reinvestment plan, thrift and profit
sharing plan and other employee benefit plans. During the second quarter of this
year, Crestar purchased and retired 445,500 shares of common stock, and has
purchased and retired 955,500 shares of common stock during the first six months
of 1996. Purchases during the second quarter of 1996 were made at an average
price of $55.61 per common share. As a result of the July 11, 1996 resolution,
Crestar had a remaining authorization to purchase and retire up to 4.0 million
shares of common stock, which was composed of the July authorization for 3.4
million shares coupled with a remaining authorization of 0.6 million shares from
the Board's April authorization.

   During the second quarter, Crestar announced a common stock dividend increase
to $.52 per share, effective with the dividend disbursed on May 21, 1996. This
represented a 15.6% increase over the previous quarterly rate of $.45 per share.

Liquidity And Interest Sensitivity
(Tables 10 - 13)
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 securities, and the ability to generate new deposits or borrowings as
needed. Crestar's liquidity position is actively managed on a daily basis, and
monitored regularly by the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO). ALCO's
overall objective is to optimize net interest income after giving consideration
to capital adequacy, liquidity needs, interest rate risk, the economic outlook,
market opportunities and customer needs. General strategies to accomplish these
objectives include maintaining a strong balance sheet, maintaining adequate core
deposit levels, taking an acceptable level of interest rate risk, adhering to
conservative financial management principles and practicing prudent dividend
policies.

   Core deposits provide a typically stable source of liquidity. Crestar's
interest-bearing core deposits represented 60% of total funding sources at June
30, 1996, compared to 67% of total funding sources at June 30, 1995. As an
additional indication of adequate liquidity, securities available for sale
represented 20%, and money market investments represented 5%, of Crestar's total
earning assets at June 30, 1996.

   Interest sensitivity refers to the volatility of net interest income 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 committee establishes limits on the net interest income at risk for the
current planning period, generally either the current calendar year or the
remainder of the current year plus the next calendar year. 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 and net income simulations. The committee establishes limits on
net interest income at risk for a twenty-four month period. A 9 to 24 month net
interest income forecast is prepared regularly based on a consensus interest
rate forecast, in addition to numerous high and low interest rate scenarios of
up to and including 300 basis points from current interest rates. The time
period evaluated is linked to the current planning horizon. The various interest
rate scenarios represent a reasonable range of interest rates. By its nature the
simulation process includes numerous assumptions, including assumptions on
changes in average balances and yields, changes in deposit and loan mix, and
forecasts of interest rate movements and spreads. The expected dynamics of the
balance sheet, including shifts in loans and deposits, are included in the
simulations. Also taken into account are the assumed effects of interest rate
caps and floors, and variances in the level of prepayment rates on loans and
securities as a function of interest rates. Prepayment assumptions are based on
the expertise of management along with input from external financial market
sources. While the simulation process is a powerful tool in analyzing interest
sensitivity, many of the assumptions used in the simulation process are both
highly qualitative and subjective, and subject to the risk that past historical
activity may not generate accurate predictions of future results.

   The high rate and low rate estimates generated by this simulation process are
compared to the estimate generated under the consensus interest rate scenario.
At June 30, 1996, Crestar's projected after-tax net income under the consensus
interest rate scenario for the remainder of 1996 would decrease by 5.0% in a
high rate scenario and by 1.9% in a low interest rate scenario. These
projections were well within Crestar's tolerance for interest rate risk, and
indicate a sufficient liquidity position and acceptable operating environment,
under the high, low and consensus interest rate scenarios.

   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 statistical rate simulation techniques. The banking industry
and its regulatory authorities are considering 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. The
Corporation's measurement and interpretation process for market valuation models
is in a developmental stage.

<PAGE>

   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. A gap schedule is shown in Table 10, and reflects the earlier of the
maturity or repricing dates for various assets and liabilities at June 30, 1996.
At that point in time, Crestar had a cumulative net liability sensitive
twelve-month gap with $3.6 billion excess of interest-sensitive sources of funds
over uses of funds. 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 10 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 the
Corporation's commercial demand deposit balances to the level of interest rates.
This adjustment, based on historical trends and estimated as a percentage of
commercial interest bearing demand deposits, reflects a greater sensitivity on
the part of commercial demand deposits to fluctuating interest rates, than
experienced with consumer deposits. On a cumulative twelve-month basis, Crestar
had a liability sensitive "adjusted gap" at June 30, 1996, with $331 million
excess of interest-sensitive sources of funds over uses of funds. In comparison,
the level of total earning assets at June 30, 1996 was $16.7 billion. The static
gap and adjusted gap do not include $1.550 billion (notional amount) of interest
rate caps to potentially offset the effect of rising interest rates on the
securities available for sale portfolio.

   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 faithful 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. Crestar's
outstanding interest rate swap instruments at June 30, 1996 are utilized to
convert certain variable rate assets to fixed rates as part of the Corporation's
interest risk management strategy. Interest rate caps are utilized to minimize
interest rate risk associated with rising rates on both fixed rate securities
and floating rate money market deposits. 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, which the Corporation believes is a combination of current replacement
cost of those instruments with a positive market value plus an amount for
additional market movement. 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 June 30, 1996, nor has Crestar
ever experienced any charge-offs related to the credit risk of derivative
transactions.

   The notional amount of Crestar's interest rate swaps and caps (excluding
customer positions where Crestar acts as an intermediary) was $3.0 billion at
June 30, 1996. Forward contracts with a notional amount of $1.0 billion,
utilized to hedge lending commitments of Crestar's mortgage banking subsidiary,
were also outstanding at June 30, 1996, bringing the total notional value of
derivative financial instruments related to interest rate risk management
activities to $4.0 billion at June 30, 1996. Tables 11, 12, and 13 present
information regarding fair values, maturity, average rates, and activity as of
and for the six month period ending June 30, 1996 for these off-balance sheet
derivative instruments. Net unrealized losses on these instruments totaled $20.2
million as of June 30, 1996. Financial statement note 11 contains additional
information pertaining to these types of agreements.

New Accounting Standards

During the second quarter the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (SFAS
125). SFAS 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be

<PAGE>

applied prospectively. The statement provides accounting and reporting standards
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities. The standards are based on consistent application of a
financial-components approach that focuses on control. After a transfer of
financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it
controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when
control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.
The statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of
financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. At
present, Crestar has not assessed the impact of adoption of this new standard.

Deposit Insurance Recapitalization Proposal
Legislative efforts to resolve the undercapitalization of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC), and the disparity between deposit insurance premiums for SAIF-insured
deposits and deposits insured under the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), may result in
a one-time special assessment on SAIF-insured deposits. Future earnings may be
impacted by a legislatively proposed one-time assessment of approximately 75
basis points (0.75%) on SAIF-insured deposits. Any one-time assessment on
SAIF-insured deposits would impact each of Crestar's three bank subsidiaries and
its savings bank subsidiary. Approximately 45% of Crestar's current deposit base
is SAIF-insured. A 75 basis point assessment, on an after-tax basis, would
result in a one-time charge to Crestar of approximately $24 million. As a
consequence of any one-time assessment, future earnings would be expected to be
augmented by a reduction in ongoing SAIF deposit insurance assessment rates. The
estimated $24 million charge for Crestar reflects a possible 20% reduction in
the assessments on certain SAIF-insured deposits (known as Oakar deposits)
acquired by banks in certain thrift acquisitions. Crestar would accrue such a
liability if and when such legislation is enacted into law.

(1) Includes only off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments related to
    interest rate risk management activities.

(2) Includes any accrued interest receivable and or payable balances, and
    unamortized premiums paid for interest rate caps.

(3) Represents average strike rate. For interest rate caps purchased, Crestar
    will receive interest if a specified market index rate rises above a fixed
    strike rate during the term of the contract. Any interest received is based
    on the difference between a higher index interest rate and the contractual
    cap rate, applied to the underlying notional balance. No interest payments
    are received if the index rate remains below the cap rate.

(4) The fair value of derivative interest rate caps hedging securities
    classified as available for sale is included in the total fair value of the
    securities available for sale portfolio. The unamortized premiums paid for
    such interest rate caps are included in the amortized cost basis of
    securities available for sale, with any unrealized gain or loss (net of tax)
    pertaining to these interest rate caps included in shareholders' equity as
    "Net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale."
