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, leasing companies and mortgage banking companies.
   On December 31, 1996,  Crestar  completed  its merger with  Citizens  Bancorp
(Citizens), a $4.1 billion asset bank holding company based in Laurel, Maryland.
The merger was  accounted  for as a pooling of interests  business  combination.
Accordingly,  the accompanying  consolidated  financial information reflects the
results of operations of both Crestar and Citizens, on a combined basis, for all
periods presented.  Also in December 1996, Crestar's Board of Directors declared
a  two-for-one  split,  in the form of a stock  dividend,  of the  Corporation's
common stock.  The two-for-one  stock split was distributed on January 24, 1997.
For  all  periods  presented  in  these  financial  statements,  average  shares
outstanding  and per common share data have been  adjusted to reflect the common
stock  split.  Certain   reclassifications   have  been  made  to  prior  years'
consolidated  financial statements and related financial  information to conform
to the 1997 presentation.

Earnings Overview
Crestar  Financial  Corporation  earned  net  income of $309.8  million in 1997,
representing  $2.77 in diluted earnings per share. Net income in 1996 was $218.3
million or $1.95 per diluted  common share.  Net income for 1996 was affected by
several  non-recurring  items,  including  $32.5  million in one-time  after-tax
charges associated with the December 31, 1996 merger with Citizens.  In addition
to the Citizens merger costs, other non-recurring items affecting net income for
1996  included a $21.5  million  after-tax  charge to  recapitalize  the Savings
Association  Insurance  Fund (SAIF),  incurred in the third  quarter of 1996, as
well as a $10.6  million  benefit  related  to the repeal of thrift bad debt tax
legislation,  also recorded in the third quarter of 1996.  Excluding these three
non-recurring  items,  net income for 1996 totaled $261.7 million,  or $2.34 per
diluted common share.
   Excluding  all  non-recurring  charges,  net income for 1997  represented  an
increase  over  comparable  1996  results of $48.1  million,  or 18%,  primarily
attributable  to growth in  noninterest  income,  an increase in  Crestar's  net
interest margin, and management of controllable expenses.
   The key  profitability  measures of return on average assets (ROA) and return
on average  total  shareholders'  equity  (ROE) for 1997 in  comparison  to 1996
reflect the  non-recurring  items impacting  1996's  results.  Return on average
assets  was 1.42% for  1997,  compared  to 1.01% in 1996.  Reported  net  income
reflects a ROE of 16.46% in 1997 versus 12.28% in 1996. These ratios, along with
other selected  earnings and balance sheet  information for each of the years in
the five-year  period ended  December 31, 1997,  are shown in Table 1. Excluding
one-time  costs  incurred  during  1996,  Crestar's  ROA was 1.21%,  and ROE was
14.73%, for 1996. Results for 1995, also included in Table 1, reflect the impact
of one-time  costs  associated  with the  December 31, 1995 pooling of interests
merger with Loyola Capital Corporation. These

merger related expenses totaled $29.3 million on an after-tax basis for 1995.
Table 2 displays key financial information,  including net income,  earnings per
share and  Crestar's  overhead  ratio  (noninterest  expense as a percentage  of
tax-equivalent  net  interest  income and  noninterest  income) for 1993 through
1997, excluding the impact of merger costs and other nonrecurring items incurred
by Crestar in 1995 and 1996.
   Significant  items  affecting  the change in reported  earnings per share for
1997,  1996 and 1995 are summarized in Table 3. Each  applicable  item is net of
federal income taxes computed using a 35% rate.

Mergers And Acquisitions
On November 13, 1997, Crestar acquired American National Bancorp, Inc. (American
National)  for  common  stock  and cash,  in a  transaction  accounted  for as a
purchase.  Based in Baltimore,  American National operated ten banking locations
and had  approximately  $500 million in total assets,  $340 million in loans and
$310  million  in  deposits  at  date  of  purchase.  In  consideration  for the
outstanding  stock of American  National,  Crestar  paid $14 million in cash and
issued  1.236  million  shares  of common  stock,  for a  combined  value of $77
million.
   The  acquisition  of  American  National  has 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  1997  results  include the
results of  operations  of the assets  purchased  and  liabilities  assumed from
American National from the date of purchase. Financial statement note 2 contains
additional information concerning mergers and acquisitions.
   Under  interstate  banking and branching  legislation  enacted by Congress in
1995,  previously  existing  restrictions on interstate bank  acquisitions  were
abolished.  Bank holding  companies from any state are now able to acquire banks
and bank  holding  companies  located  in any other  state,  subject  to certain
conditions.  Effective in 1997, the law allows interstate bank mergers,  subject
to earlier  "opt-in" or  "opt-out"  action by  individual  states.  The law also
allows  interstate  branch  acquisitions and new branch activity if permitted by
the host state.  The laws of  Virginia,  Maryland  and the  District of Columbia
allow interstate bank mergers,  and also permit interstate  branch  acquisitions
and new branching by out-of-state  banks if reciprocal  treatment is accorded in
the  state  of the  acquiring  bank or bank  holding  company.  There  has  been
significant  acquisition  activity  in the  region  in which  Crestar  operates,
centered on the acquisition of Virginia-based  financial  institutions by large,
strongly capitalized out-of-state bank holding companies. Management expects the
level of competition to remain high in the  Corporation's  marketing area in the
future.

Common Stock And Dividends
On December 31, 1997,  Crestar's  common stock price was $57, an increase of 53%
from the December 31, 1996 split-adjusted closing price of $37 3/16. Significant
increases were noted in many financial  institution  stocks during 1997, and the
S&P 500 stock  index  posted an increase of 31%.  Crestar's  stock  appreciation
during 1996 was 26%,  excluding  dividends.  Based on the common stock price and
number of common shares outstanding at year-end, Crestar's market capitalization
exceeded $6.4 billion at December 31, 1997.

Diluted Earnings Per Share -
  current period                     $2.77    $1.95
===============================================================

   Book value per common share was $18.49 at December  31,  1997,  compared to a
December  31, 1996 book value per share of $16.20.  The ratio of market value to
book value was 3.1x at December  31,  1997.  On the basis of 1997  earnings  per
diluted common share of $2.77 and the year-end market price of $57, the December
31, 1997 price to earnings ratio was 20.6x.  The S&P 500 stock index had a price
to earnings composite ratio of approximately 24.0x at year-end 1997.
   In December  1996,  simultaneous  with the  announcement  of the  two-for-one
common stock split,  Crestar's Board of Directors  announced a $.27 dividend per
common  share,  effective  with the February 1997  dividend  payment  date.  The
December  1996  dividend  declaration  meant  that  the  Corporation  paid  four
quarterly  dividends  during 1997,  but  declared  three cash  dividends  during
calendar 1997.  Reflecting  improved operating results,  the common dividend was
increased  during  the second  quarter  of 1997,  from $0.27 to $0.29 per share.
Dividends  paid during 1997 totaled $1.14 per common  share,  compared to $1.005
per share in 1996,  representing an increase of 13%. Crestar's current quarterly
dividend  of $0.29 per share  represents  an  annualized  dividend  of $1.16 per
share,  equating  to a yield of 2.0% based on the  year-end  market  price.  The
Corporation's  objective is to pay  dividends of at least 30% to 40% of earnings
to common  shareholders,  with a current  bias  towards  the  higher end of this
range,  given the  Corporation's  strong  capital  position.  Cash  dividends on
Crestar's  common stock are customarily  paid on the 21st day of February,  May,
August and November.

Capital Resources And Adequacy
Crestar ended 1997 with strong capital  ratios,  reflecting  improved  operating
results for 1997.  Average  shareholders'  equity was $1.9 billion  during 1997,
representing a 6% increase over 1996 levels.  Equity growth in 1997 is primarily
attributable  to the earnings of the  Corporation,  along with shares issued for
the  American  National  acquisition  and  for  employee  benefit  and  dividend
reinvestment  plans.  These  factors were  partially  offset by  Crestar's  cash
dividends  declared and by  purchases  of common  stock during the year.  During
1997,  Crestar  purchased and retired 1.95 million  shares of common stock at an
average price of approximately  $43.43 per share. Crestar purchased 1.13 million
shares of  common  stock to  retire  shares  issued  for the  American  National
acquisition.  Also during 1997,  824 thousand  shares were purchased to meet the
needs of the dividend  reinvestment  plan,  employee stock options and Crestar's
thrift  and  profit  sharing  plan.  The   Corporation   purchased  and  retired
approximately 3.4 million shares of common stock, on a post-split basis,  during
1996 at an average  price of $29.03 per share.  The  Consolidated  Statements of
Changes  in  Shareholders'  Equity  provide  details  of these and other  equity
transactions.  The  Corporation  expects to make  repurchases of common stock in
1998 only to the extent  that such  purchases  relate to shares  issued or to be
issued for  acquisitions  accounted for under the purchase  method of accounting
for business  combinations,  including the November 1997 acquisition of American
National.
   Crestar's equity to assets ratio at December 31, 1997 was 8.26%,  compared to
a ratio of 7.78% at December  31, 1996.  The average  equity to assets ratio was
8.63% for 1997,  compared to 8.23% for 1996. The equity  leverage ratio (defined
as average total assets divided by average total shareholders' equity) decreased
from 12.15x in 1996 to 11.59x in 1997.  Other  capital  ratios for 1997 and 1996
are shown in Table 4. A key measure of equity's  ability to absorb losses is the
ratio of average  equity to average  loans.  This  measure  continued to reflect
Crestar's  capital  strength,  and  increased  slightly  from 13.04% for 1996 to
13.08% for 1997.  The  equity  formation  rate  (calculated  as net income  less
dividends  declared  divided by average total  equity) was 11.34% for 1997;  the
comparable rate for 1996 was 4.80%.

================================================================================


   Risk-based  capital  ratios  are  another  measure of  capital  adequacy.  At
December 31, 1997,  Crestar's  consolidated  risk-adjusted  capital  ratios were
10.1% for Tier 1 and 12.5% 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,  Crestar Bank was considered  "well-capitalized",  the
highest category of  capitalization  defined by the regulators  allowing for the
lowest level of FDIC insurance premium  payments,  as of December 31, 1997. Note
13 to the  consolidated  financial  statements  includes  additional data on the
regulatory capital ratios for Crestar Bank as of December 31, 1997.
   Additional  measures  of  capital  strength  include  the  regulatory  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. The Tier 1 leverage ratio has a regulatory minimum of
3.0%,  although most  institutions  are required to maintain a ratio of at least
4.0% to 5.0%,  depending  primarily  upon risk  profiles.  At December 31, 1997,
Crestar's  Tier 1  leverage  ratio  was 9.2%.  The  tangible  leverage  ratio is
calculated by excluding intangibles from both assets and regulatory capital, and
is utilized by the Federal  Reserve Board in evaluating  proposals for expansion
or acquisitions.  At December 31, 1997,  Crestar's  tangible  leverage ratio was
7.5%, 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 94.2% at December
31, 1997,  compared to 94.7% at December 31, 1996.  Financial  statement note 19
contains Parent Company financial statements.
   In January 1998, Crestar issued $150 million in subordinated  notes, having a
stated  interest rate of 6.50% and due January 15, 2018,  with  putable/callable
provisions  effective  January  15,  2008.  Proceeds  from this  long-term  debt
issuance will be used for general  corporate  purposes.  Crestar has filed shelf
registration  statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission  pertaining
to the  possible  future  issuance  of other  securities.  Under  the  currently
effective registration statements, the Corporation may issue in the future up to
approximately  $175 million in subordinated debt securities,  preferred stock or
common stock, or any combination thereof.

Net Interest Income
And Net Interest Margin
A 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  interest  rates when  compared  to  previous  periods of
operations.
   Net  interest  income in Table 5 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 1997,  1996 and 1995 of $11.2
million,  $9.9  million and $11.3  million,  respectively.  On a  tax-equivalent
basis,  net interest  income  increased  $11.2 million or 1% in 1997 following a
$50.1 million or 6% rise in 1996. These increases reflect an increase in average
earning assets of 1% in 1997 and 6% in 1996.

   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 1997 the net interest  margin of 4.47%  represented  an
improvement of 3 basis points over the net interest  margin of 4.44% recorded in
1996.  Significant  items  affecting  net interest  margin from 1996 to 1997 are
summarized  in Table 6.  Favorable  changes  in  interest  rates paid on funding
sources were a significant  influence on the net interest  margin for 1997.  The
positive  impact  of  such  changes  was  partially  offset  by  the  impact  of
unfavorable  changes in the  composition of earning assets and funding  sources,
and the impact of off-balance  sheet hedging  transactions  in comparison to the
results for 1996.
   Changes  in  balance  sheet mix  decreased  the 1997 net  interest  margin by
approximately  9 basis points.  Loans as a percentage  of total  earning  assets
increased  from an  average of 69% in 1996 to 72% in 1997,  as both the  overall
consumer and business loan portfolios exhibited growth. Despite this increase in
total loan balances, Crestar's net interest margin was detrimentally impacted by
declines in the average  balances  of bank card loans,  which have  historically
been  Crestar's  highest  yielding  loan  type.  The  growth in  Crestar's  loan
portfolio  during 1997 was most apparent in  instalment,  real estate - mortgage
and commercial loans.  Combined securities holdings,  composed of the securities
available for sale and

===========================================================

   securities  held to maturity  portfolios,  averaged $4.4 billion  during 1997
versus $4.9 billion in 1996.  Securities  represented  22% of the  Corporation's
average earning assets during 1997, compared to 25% during 1996.
   The composition of Crestar's sources of funds shifted slightly to higher cost
sources during the year,  negatively impacting the 1997 net interest margin by 1
basis point.  Average  interest-bearing  core deposits totaled $11.7 billion for
1997,  versus  $12.5  billion  for  1996.  With  average  earning  asset  levels
relatively  stable  during  this time  period,  these  deposits  as a percent of
average  earning  assets  declined  from  63% in  1996 to 59% in  1997.  Average
balances of purchased  liabilities,  which are composed of short-term borrowings
and  non-retail  certificates  of deposit of  $100,000  and over,  totaled  $3.9
billion during 1997, versus $3.3 billion in 1996, and represented 20% of average
earning assets during 1997.  Significant sources of short-term borrowings during
1997 included  federal funds purchased,  Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings,  and
securities sold under repurchase agreements. Long-term debt and other sources of
funds  represented  4% and 17%,  respectively,  of total average  earning assets
during 1997. Demand deposits,  an important component of other sources of funds,
averaged  $3.1 billion in 1997,  an increase of 4% from the average  balances of
1996.
   Changes  in  average   interest  rate  yields  on  earning   assets  did  not
significantly  impact the net interest  margin for 1997,  in comparison to 1996.
Yields on average earning assets increased by 1 basis point from the prior year,
averaging  7.99%  in  1997  versus  7.98%  in  1996.  Excluding  the  impact  of
off-balance sheet hedging transactions,  the yield on average earning assets was
8.00% for 1997 and 7.97% for 1996. The average yield on Crestar's loan portfolio
decreased to 8.59% in 1997 versus 8.70% in 1996.  Higher yields on the bank card
loan  portfolio  were  offset  by  declines  in  most  other  loan   categories.
Commercial,  real estate -  construction,  instalment  and real  estate-mortgage
loans,  which on a combined  basis  represented  83% of  Crestar's  average loan
portfolio  during  1997,  had average  yield  decreases of 6, 49, 29 and 2 basis
points,  respectively.  During the same time period,  the average  yield on bank
card loans increased from 12.49% in 1996 to 13.99% in 1997. The higher yield for
1997  primarily  reflects the impact of expiring  promotional  interest rates on
specific bank card programs.  Securities  available for sale yielded a return of
6.32%  in  1997,  compared  to a return  of  6.28%  in  1996.  The  yield on the
Corporation's  securities held to maturity  investment  portfolio was relatively
unchanged from the prior year.  The yield on average  balances of mortgage loans
held for sale was up 7 basis points in 1997,  in  comparison  to the prior year,
and yields on money market investments  increased from 5.39% to 5.59% during the
same time period.
   Lower cost funding  sources were a significant  benefit to the  Corporation's
net interest  margin  during 1997.  Average rates paid on domestic time deposits
declined 24 basis points,  with yields on regular savings deposits decreasing 12
basis  points.  The average rate paid on total  interest-bearing  core  deposits
during 1997 was 3.66%,  in  comparison  to 3.80% in 1996.  The impact of falling
rates on deposits was  partially  offset by higher  average  rates on short-term
borrowings,  certificates  of deposit of $100,000 and over, and long-term  debt.
Rates paid on short-term borrowings increased 10 basis points in 1997, averaging
5.30% in 1997 compared to 5.20% in 1996.  Average rates paid on long-term  debt,
reflecting  the  year-end  1996  issuance  of $200  million  in trust  preferred
securities,  increased  from 7.19% in 1996 to 7.50% in 1997. The total impact of
interest  rate  changes,  on both  funding  sources and earning  assets,  was to
increase the net interest margin by 15 basis points in 1997 in comparison to the
prior year.
   Off-balance  sheet  derivative  transactions  (interest rate swaps,  caps and
floors)  had a  negative  impact on  Crestar's  1997 net  interest  margin  when
compared to 1996.  The majority of the  negative  impact for 1997 arose from the
amortization  of the cost basis of interest  rate caps and floors  purchased  to
hedge market value changes of selected assets and liabilities. Total off-balance
sheet  interest rate  conversions  and hedges  negatively  impacted net interest
income by $4.0 million in 1997, which was composed of a $2.9 million decrease in
interest income and a $1.1 million  increase in interest  expense,  based on the
underlying  asset or liability  associated  with the  transaction.  In 1996, the
comparable  impact of hedging  activity  was an increase of $1.1  million to net
interest  income,  which was  composed  of a $1.2  million  increase in interest
income and a $0.1 million increase in interest expense.  This difference equated
to a 3 basis point negative impact on the 1997 net interest margin,  as compared
to 1996 results.

   Nonperforming  asset levels had no material impact on the  Corporation's  net
interest  margin in 1997, when compared to 1996.  Additional  interest income of
approximately  $11.6 million for 1997 and $12.3 million for 1996 would have been
realized  had  all  nonperforming   assets  performed  as  originally  expected.
Nonperforming  assets  exclude  loans that are both past due 90 days or more and
not  deemed   nonaccrual,   due  to  an   assessment  of   collectibility   (see
"Nonperforming Assets and Other Risk Elements").
   The extent to which Crestar will be able to maintain its current 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  margins in
future periods.
   From 1995 to 1996, the net interest margin was unchanged,  equaling 4.44% for
both years. Positive influences on the 1996 margin included favorable changes in
rates paid on funding  sources,  and in changes arising from  off-balance  sheet
hedging  transactions.  These  factors were offset by the impact of  unfavorable
changes in the composition of both earning assets and funding  sources.  Table 5
presents a comparison  of the earning  assets and sources of funds for these two
years.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest  income  increased  26% in 1997,  following  a 4%  increase in 1996.
Excluding  securities  gains and losses,  noninterest  income in 1997  increased
$86.3 million or 26% over 1996, compared with a 1996 increase of $7.9 million or
2% over 1995.
   Many categories of noninterest  income  exhibited strong growth in 1997, with
significant increases recorded in service charges on deposit accounts, trust and
investment advisory fees and mortgage  origination income.  Reflecting growth in
non-interest  bearing  deposit  accounts  and selected  fee  increases,  service
charges on deposit accounts increased 10% over the prior year and totaled $126.1
million for 1997. Trust and investment advisory income increased $8.5 million or
13% from 1996.  This  increase  reflects  new account  growth  coupled  with the
beneficial effects on fee income of rising bond and equity markets.  At year-end
1997,  trust  assets held by Crestar's  Trust and  Investment  Management  Group
exceeded  $38  billion,   and  assets  under  management  totaled  $15  billion.
Reflecting  significantly  greater  origination  volume,  and  favorable  market
conditions  for the sale of mortgage  loans to investors,  mortgage  origination
income  totaled  $19.6  million  in 1997,  compared  to $12.2  million  in 1996.
Mortgage  origination income is reported net of direct costs associated with the
mortgage underwriting  process.  Mortgage servicing income exhibited an decrease
of $1.7 million, and

Management's Discussion
Crestar Financial Corporation And Subsidiaries

totaled $15.4 million in 1997 compared to $17.1 million in 1996. The decrease
reflects  higher  amortization  charges  associated with  capitalized  servicing
rights.  Gains on sales of mortgage  servicing  rights  totaled $10.5 million in
1997, versus gains of $8.3 million recorded in the previous year. Crestar's loan
servicing  portfolio was $12.5  billion at December 31, 1997,  compared to $11.4
billion at year-end 1996.
   Other sources of growth in noninterest  income were fees from sales of mutual
funds,  annuities and  brokerage  services,  as Crestar  continued to expand its
marketing of these  financial  products.  Automated  teller machine (ATM) income
continues to be a growing  source of noninterest  income,  due to an increase in
usage by banking customers,  expansion of Crestar's ATM network and selected fee
increases.  Such income  recorded an increase of $7.2 million in 1997,  totaling
$25.9 million in 1997 compared to $18.7  million in 1996.  Crestar's  network of
ATM machines totaled 613 at year-end 1997,  compared to 496 at year-end 1996. In
the fourth quarter of 1997, Crestar recorded a gain of $9.3 million arising from
the  securitization  of  student  loans.  In  the  future,  Crestar  anticipates
periodically  utilizing the securitization of loan products to capture the value
of the  Corporation's  loan origination  functions while freeing corporate funds
for other investment  purposes.  Also in 1997,  Crestar recorded a gain of $17.3
million from the sale of merchant bankcard processing operations.  Due primarily
to the second quarter sale, bank  card-related  noninterest  income decreased by
$10.1 million, or 19%, during 1997 and totaled $42.0 million for the year.
   The  comparability of results for 1996 and 1995 are impacted by non-recurring
branch and equipment  charges recorded as reductions of noninterest  income.  In
1996,  as part of the  costs  incurred  in the  merger  with  Citizens,  Crestar
recorded  an $18.2  million  charge for branch  closing  costs.  These costs are
classified as a loss on sale and disposal of branches,  and reduced  noninterest
income in 1996. Noninterest income for 1996 also includes non-merger related net
losses on the sale and disposal of branches, totaling $4.1 million, representing
the cost of closing selected banking locations as part of Crestar's  strategy of
refining  its  service  delivery  systems.  In 1995,  as part of the merger with
Loyola,  $3.7 million in branch  closing costs were  recorded.  Offsetting  this
charge were net gains of $3.5 million on branch  closings  and sales  (including
sale of related branch deposit  accounts) from 1995 activity.  These results are
included in the totals for gain (loss) on sale and disposal of branches in Table
7, for the applicable year of occurrence. During 1997 Crestar recorded net gains
on sale of  branches  and other  property  of $6.9  million,  with $5.8  million
arising from the sale of two  properties  acquired as part of the 1996  Citizens
merger.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest  expense  decreased  $66.1  million or 8% in 1997,  totaling  $714.3
million for 1997 versus $780.3 million in 1996.  Noninterest expense in 1996 was
impacted by non-recurring costs,  including $31.8 million in acquisition-related
costs  related to the merger with  Citizens.  In  addition,  Crestar  incurred a
one-time  assessment on SAIF insured  deposits during the third quarter of 1996,
impacting noninterest expense by $34.1 million. Excluding the impact of the 1996
non-recurring  merger costs and SAIF  assessment,  noninterest  expense for 1997
exhibited  a slight  decrease of less than 1% in  comparison  to the prior year.
Such results  reflect the operating  efficiencies  derived from the December 31,
1996 merger with Citizens,  especially in the noninterest  expense categories of
personnel,  occupancy  and  equipment  expenses.  Approximately  $3.5 million in
non-recurring  expenses  associated  with the Citizens  merger were  incurred in
1997.
   Part of  Crestar's  non-recurring  expenses  in 1996 was an expense  totaling
$34.1  million   associated  with   congressional   legislation   regarding  the
recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the Federal
Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (FDIC).  The legislation,  which resulted in an
after-tax  charge of $21.5 million  during the third quarter of 1996,  addressed
the disparity between deposit insurance  premiums for SAIF-insured  deposits and
deposits  insured under the Bank Insurance  Fund. The assessment is reflected in
1996's  noninterest  expense as part of FDIC  premiums - net.  Decreases in FDIC
insurance  premiums,  effective in the fourth quarter of 1996, led to lower FDIC
premium  expense for 1997 in comparison to prior years,  excluding the impact of
the 1996 SAIF assessment.  Excluding the assessment,  FDIC premium expenses were
$7.1 million for 1996, and declined to $2.7 million for 1997.
   With the  consummation  of the merger with Citizens,  Crestar  incurred $31.8
million in  non-recurring  merger-related  noninterest  expenses  for 1996 (this
balance  excludes  branch  closure and fixed asset  disposal costs recorded as a
reduction of noninterest income, and also excludes the merger's impact on income
tax  expense).  These  merger-related  expenses  included  severance  and  other
personnel costs of $11.3 million, professional fees of $5.4 million, and outside
data services expense of $4.8 million. Noninterest

expenses recorded as part of the Loyola merger in 1995 totaled $18.4 million,
and  included   $11.3  million  in  severance  and  other   personnel   expense,
professional fees of $3.6 million and outside data services of $1.2 million.
   Foreclosed  properties  expense  decreased  from $6.9 million in 1996 to $3.1
million in 1997.  Of the 1996  expense,  $4.0 million was recorded in connection
with the  year-end  1996  merger with  Citizens  Bancorp,  reflecting  Crestar's
accelerated marketing and disposal plans for specific foreclosed properties.
   Noninterest  expense  for 1997  includes  $5.3  million of costs  incurred in
preparing the Corporation's data processing systems to be "Year 2000" compliant.
Crestar is implementing  changes to its information systems so that they will be
fully  operable  for date  recognition  and data  processing  when the year 2000
begins.  A further  discussion  of these  changes is included  under "Other Risk
Elements".
   Total capital  expenditures for 1997, 1996 and 1995 were  approximately  $115
million,  $73 million and $58 million,  respectively.  The 1997 figure  included
expenditures  for  branch  and office  refurbishments,  and new branch  computer
technology.  In  addition,  construction  outlays  for  a new  six-story  office
building located adjacent to the Crestar Mortgage Corporation (CMC) headquarters
in Richmond totaled  approximately  $44 million.  Total capital  expenditures in
1998 are anticipated to be approximately $72 million.

Income Taxes
In 1997,  Crestar's  income tax expense was $165.6  million,  compared to $105.0
million in 1996 and $134.6  million in 1995.  The  effective tax rates for 1997,
1996 and 1995 were 34.8%, 32.5% and 38.4%, respectively. The relatively low 1996
effective tax rate was primarily  attributable to a non-recurring  $10.6 million
reduction of income tax expense in the third quarter of 1996.  This reduction of
expense  arose from the repeal of the tax law that  previously  required,  under
certain circumstances,  thrift institutions to recapture into taxable income the
pre-1988 loan loss allowance. Crestar had recorded the charge at the time of the
merger with Loyola Capital Corporation on December 31, 1995, and later benefited
when the law was repealed. The effective tax rates for 1996 and 1995, normalized
to exclude the adjustment, were 35.7% and 35.4% respectively. Other fluctuations
in Crestar's effective tax rates for 1997 compared to 1996 were primarily caused
by lower state income tax expense and by the recognition of tax benefits, during
1997, relating to prior years.
   Deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  are based on the  differences  between
financial statement and tax bases 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, 1997 and 1996.  Deferred tax
expense is measured by the change in the net deferred tax assets or  liabilities
for the period.

Liquidity, Market Risk 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.  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 this
objective 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  53% of total  funding  sources at
December  31, 1997  compared  with 59% at December 31,  1996.  As an  additional
indication of adequate liquidity, securities available for sale represented 17%,
and money market  investments  represented 6%, of Crestar's total earning assets
at December 31, 1997.
   Market  risk is the risk of loss  arising  from  adverse  changes in the fair
value of financial  instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates
or equity prices. Like many financial  institutions,  Crestar's principal market
risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk can be measured by looking at the
volatility of projected  net income as a result of possible  changes in interest
rates over a given  period of time.  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 earnings at risk for a current planning
period,  usually defined as either the current calendar year or the remainder of
the current year plus the next calendar year.  Established limits are subject to
change,  but have  typically  been 10% or less of  projected  net income for the
planning period.  Actions that can be taken to manage interest rate risk include
changing the mix of floating  rate versus fixed rate earning  assets and funding
sources,  changes in average maturities within the securities available for sale
portfolio  through sales and purchases,  the use of derivative  instruments  for
interest rate  conversions  or to hedge interest risk, and marketing and product
development  efforts to attract  new loans and  deposits.  The level of interest
rate risk taken is based on management's  assessment of the market  environment,
and will vary from period to period.
   A significant tool used by Crestar in assessing interest rate exposure is net
interest income simulations. A net income forecast is prepared regularly

   based on a current  interest rate forecast,  in addition to numerous high and
low interest rate  scenarios  involving  changes in interest  rates of up to and
including 300 basis points from current  interest  rates.  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 prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are
based on the  expertise of management  along with input from external  financial
market sources. 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.  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  interest  rate and low interest  rate  estimates  generated by this
simulation  process  are  compared  to an  estimate  generated  under a  current
interest rate  scenario.  Based on the most recent  simulations  at December 31,
1997,  Crestar's  projected  12-month  after-tax  net income  under the  current
interest rate scenario at year-end 1997 would  decrease by  approximately  $12.2
million in a high interest rate scenario,  and would  decrease by  approximately
$1.4 million in a low  interest  rate  scenario,  if nothing else changed and no
management  actions were taken.  These  projections  were based on interest rate
increases of 100 basis points under a 12-month high interest rate scenario,  and
interest rate  decreases of 100 basis points under a low interest rate scenario,
from market  interest rates in effect at December 31, 1997.  Changes in interest
rates under these  simulations  were projected at 25 basis points per month. The
results of these  projections were within Crestar's  tolerance for interest rate
risk,  and indicate a sufficient  liquidity  position and  acceptable  operating
environment under the high, low and current interest rate scenarios.
   Another   management   tool  for   assessing   interest   rate  risk  is  the
quantification  of the economic  fair value of  shareholders'  equity.  Economic
value of equity  consists  of the  present  value of all future  cash flows from
assets,  liabilities  and  off-balance  sheet  items.  Potential  changes in the
economic  value of equity  are  calculated  by  projecting  cash  flows and then
computing  present values under a series of different  interest rate  scenarios.
The economic value calculations include the valuation of instruments with option
characteristics,  using numerous  interest rate path valuations and mathematical
rate simulation techniques.  Crestar has incorporated this tool as a significant
component of the Corporation's  management of interest rate risk. Economic value
measurement results at year-end 1997 were within Crestar's internal guidelines.
   Each of the 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. Assumptions can be inherently uncertain;

actual results will differ from projected results due to changes  in market
conditions,  management  strategies  and the  timing  and magnitude of interest
rate changes.
        As noted, one tool available to assist in the  management  of interest
rate  risk is the  utilization  of  derivative interest rate contracts,  such as
interest rate swaps, caps and floors.  Crestar's outstanding interest  rate swap
instruments  at December  31, 1997 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 floating rate money market deposits,
fixed rate  securities  and fixed  rate real  estate  loans.  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  prospective  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
December 31, 1997, nor has Crestar ever  experienced any charge-offs  related to
the credit risk of derivative transactions.  Interest rate simulation techniques
are used by Crestar  to assess  and  monitor  market  risk in the  Corporation's
derivative portfolio. Tables 9, 10 and 11 present information regarding the fair
values,  maturity,  average rates,  and activity for 1997 for these  off-balance
sheet derivative instruments.
        The  notional  amount of  Crestar's  interest rate swaps,  caps and
floors (excluding  customer positions where Crestar simply acts as an
intermediary) was $4.085 billion at December 31, 1997. Forward

Management's Discussion
Crestar Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries

contracts with a notional  balance  of $1.460  billion,  utilized  to hedge
lending commitments of  Crestar's  mortgage  banking  subsidiary,   were  also
outstanding  at December  31,  1997,  bringing  the  total  notional  value  of
derivative financial  instruments  related  to  interest  rate risk  management
activities to $5.545  billion at year-end 1997.  Maturities on such  instruments
ranged from less than one month to 6.3 years. The net unrealized losses on these
instruments  totaled $8.5 million as of December 31, 1997, which was composed of
gross  unrealized  gains  of  $13.9  million  and  gross  unrealized  losses  of
approximately $22.4 million. At December 31, 1996, derivatives used as hedges of
interest  rate  risk had  gross  unrealized  gains  of $2.6  million  and  gross
unrealized  losses of $14.0 million,  and at December 31, 1995, such derivatives
had gross unrealized gains of $13.6 million and gross unrealized  losses of $6.1
million.  Financial  statement  note 21  also  contains  additional  information
pertaining to these types of agreements.
        During  the course of 1997 and 1996, Crestar  terminated  prior to
maturity certain  interest  rate swaps,  caps and floors being  utilized as
interest rate conversions  or hedges  against interest rate  movements.  At
December 31, 1997 Crestar had a deferred gain of $4.2 million  included in other
assets,  arising from the  termination  of interest rate floors during 1997. The
deferred gain is being amortized over a weighted-average  remaining  maturity of
3.4 years.  The Corporation  had no unamortized  deferred gain or loss balances
from  terminated instruments at December 31, 1996.  Terminations of derivative
instruments prior to maturity may occur in the future in response  to
modifications  of interest rate risk management strategies.
        Estimated fair values of financial  instruments held at December 31,
1997 and 1996 are presented in financial statement note 21. 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 21. Crestar's loan portfolio, which constitutes the
Corporation's largest financial  instrument  asset  category,  had an estimated
fair value of approximately  2% in excess of recorded book value at December 31,
1997.  Credit quality trends and the year-end  interest rate environment were
major factors in the determination of the estimated fair value for net loans.
Deposit liabilities payable on short notice or demand,  which  constituted  69%
of  Crestar's  total deposits at December 31, 1997,  were  assigned an estimated
fair value equal to the  balance  payable  on  demand,  in  accordance  with
mandatory   accounting standards.  However,  purchase  transactions  of such
deposits  usually  reflect premiums to recorded book value, due to the
relationship  value of such deposits over their projected life and their value
as a low cost source of funds.
        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 (classified as money market  investments)  are carried at fair value
as they are intended to be sold in the near term.  Securities available for sale
are carried at fair value and  represent  securities  not  classified as held to
maturity or trading  account  securities.  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.  At December 31, 1997,  the fair market value of securities  classified
as available for sale was $3.839 billion.  The amortized cost of these
securities was $3.841 billion.  The net unrealized loss on securities  available
for sale, net of tax, at December 31, 1997 was  approximately  $0.7 million.  At
December 31, 1996 the net  unrealized  gain on securities  available  for sale,
net of tax, was $21.3 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, 1997 had an  amortized  cost of
$627 million and a market value of $631  million.  Unrealized  pre-tax  gains on
such  securities  at year-end 1997 were $6.8 million,  with  unrealized  pre-tax
losses of $2.0 million. No sales of investments classified as securities held to
maturity occurred during 1997, 1996 or 1995.
   All mortgage-backed  securities in the securities  available for sale and the
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 usually  accelerates.  During such
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.  The  Corporation  had no  security  holdings at
December 31, 1997 that met the  definition  of a high-risk  mortgage  derivative
product,  as defined by the Federal Financial  Institutions  Examination Council
(FFIEC) regulations.
   All investment securities, including mortgage backed pass-through securities,
CMO  securities  and other  collateralized  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  security,  in
addition to the  contractual  obligation of the issuer to collect and remit such
payments to individual  security owners.  In some respects,  such credit risk is
similar to the risks  incurred by purchasers of corporate bond  securities.  The
Corporation  monitors  credit risk by  assessing,  and  monitoring on an ongoing
basis, the financial strength and performance of the issuers of such securities.
See "Uses of Funds"  for a further  description  of the  Corporation's  security
holdings.
   The  Corporation's  debt ratings are  presented in Table 12.  During  January
1998, $150 million in subordinated  debt securities were issued by Crestar.  The
subordinated note issuance received a rating of Baa1, and a rating of BBB+, from
the Moody's and Standard & Poor's rating agencies, respectively.

Sources Of Funds
Crestar's  largest and most important  funding  source is core  deposits,  which
Crestar  defines as total deposits less  certificates of deposit of $100,000 and
over. Core deposits totaled $15.4 billion at December 31, 1997, representing 68%
of total funding sources at year-end 1997.  Core deposits  totaled $15.5 billion
at  December  31,  1996,  or 75% of total  funding  sources  at  year-end  1996.
Reflecting  a  competitive  environment  for  consumer  deposits,  average  core
deposits decreased 5% from 1996 to 1997,  totaling $14.8 billion for 1997 versus
$15.5 billion for the previous year. Demand deposits increased $187 million,  or
6%, from year-end 1996 to year-end 1997. Interest bearing demand deposits, which
encompass  interest checking and money market deposit  accounts,  increased $344
million  or 6% during  this  period.  Declines  were  noted in  regular  savings
accounts and, to a greater degree,

domestic  time  deposits.  Competitive  pricing  for  deposits  among  financial
institutions,  in  addition  to the  consolidation  or sale of  selected  branch
locations  during  1996  and  1997,  contributed  to  the  decline  in  consumer
certificates of deposit  accounts.  Growth in sales of mutual fund and insurance
annuity products within Crestar's branch system was also a factor in declines in
year-end balances of domestic time deposits, from year-end 1996 levels.
   Purchased liabilities are composed of certificates of deposit of $100,000 and
over  (large  CDs)  and  short-term  borrowings.   Total  purchased  liabilities
increased $1.5 billion from December 31, 1996,  reflecting their desirability as
a  cost-effective  alternative  funding  source  during  periods of slow deposit
growth. Purchased liabilities represented 25% of Crestar's total funding sources
at December 31, 1997.  At that date,  approximately  32% of Crestar's  purchased
funds  consisted of funds  invested by local  customers  and, as such,  are less
volatile than other categories of purchased funds.
   Long-term debt decreased $28 million during 1997, or 3%, primarily reflecting
scheduled  reductions of  collateralized  mortgage  obligation  bonds,  mortgage
indebtedness and capital lease obligations.

Uses Of Funds
Total  earning  assets at December 31, 1997 were $22.5  billion,  an increase of
$1.8 billion or 9% from year-end 1996,  compared with a 3% increase in the prior
year. Period-end balances for 1997 reflect the impact of Crestar's November 1997
purchase of American National,  with approximately $500 million of total assets.
Average earning assets for 1997 were more stable, with average balances totaling
$19.9  billion  for 1997,  an  increase  of $144  million or 1% over the average
earning asset balances of 1996. Crestar's earning assets are comprised of loans,
securities, money market investments and mortgage loans held for sale.
   Average  balances  of loans  for  1997  increased  $761  million,  or 6%,  in
comparison to 1996 levels, and comprised 72% of average earning assets for 1997.
Loans  represented 69% of Crestar's  average earning assets in 1996. At December
31,  1997,  loans net of unearned  income were $15.7  billion,  representing  an
increase of $1.6 billion or 12% over the balance at December  31,  1996.  During
1997,  the  composition  of the loan  portfolio  changed  as strong  growth  was
experienced in commercial,  instalment and real estate mortgage loans. Declining
balances were  experienced in Crestar's bank card portfolio for the second year.
At December 31,  1997,  consumer  loans  represented  60%,  and  business  loans
represented 40%, of Crestar's total loan portfolio.
   Crestar's  business  loan  portfolio  consists of  commercial,  real estate -
income  property and real estate - construction  loans.  Commercial  loan volume
experienced  significant  growth  in the  latter  part  of  1997.  Coupled  with
Crestar's  acquisition of American National,  the new loan volume contributed to
an increase of $664 million or 17% in  commercial  loan  balances as of December
31, 1997,  versus  year-end 1996.  Business  related real estate loans exhibited
total  growth of $79  million  during the same time  period,  with real estate -
construction loans increasing 21%, to $381 million.
   Consumer  instalment  loans  exhibited  the  strongest  growth  of  all  loan
categories  during 1997,  increasing  by $787 million or 19% over  year-end 1996
levels.  During the third  quarter of 1997,  Crestar  completed  the purchase of
approximately  $600 million of home equity loans and outstanding  balances under
home equity lines of credit. In December 1997, Crestar  securitized $212 million
in student  loans.  Excluding the impact of these two  transactions,  instalment
loan  balances  exhibited an increase of  approximately  10% over  year-end 1996
levels.
   Bank card loans decreased $269 million or 19% in 1997,  following a reduction
of $276  million or 16% from 1995 to 1996.  Marketing  efforts  directed  to new
accounts  have been  curtailed  from prior  levels.  Account  balances have also
declined as a result of the  expiration of  introductory  low interest  rates on
some bank card  products.  Bank card balances  represented  7% of the total loan
portfolio at December 31, 1997, versus 10% at year-end 1996.
   Real estate - mortgage  loans  increased $366 million or 12% during 1997, and
totaled $3.4 billion at December 31, 1997.  Approximately  $220 of real estate -
mortgage  loans were  acquired  in the  November  1997  acquisition  of American
National.   Consumer  real   estate-mortgage   loans   represented  22%  of  the
Corporation's  total loan  portfolio at December  31,  1997,  compared to 21% at
year-end 1996.
   Total  securities  (classified  as either held to maturity or  available  for
sale) as of December 31, 1997  decreased  $820 million or 16% from  December 31,
1996.  Average balances for 1997 also decreased,  as proceeds from the sales and
maturities of securities were used to fund higher loan balances. The composition
of  Crestar's  securities  portfolio  along  with  related  yield  and  maturity
information  as of December  31, 1997 are  presented  in Table 13  (Analysis  of
Securities Held to Maturity) and Table 14 (Analysis of Securities  Available For
Sale).  Both average  expected  maturity and actual stated maturity are shown in
these  tables.   The  average  expected  maturity   considers   prepayments  and
amortization,  resulting in a more realistic  measure of maturities  than actual
stated maturity.
   The  Corporation's   securities   portfolio  includes   investments  in  both
mortgage-backed  pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations
(CMO). A mortgage-backed  pass-through obligation depends on the underlying pool
of mortgage loans to

and interest payments from the underlying mortgages.  A CMO is a mortgage-backed
security that is comprised of classes of bonds created by prioritizing  the cash
flows from  underlying  mortgage pools in order to meet different  objectives of
investors.  Approximately 67% (market value) of Crestar's  securities  available
for  sale  portfolio,  and  approximately  61%  (amortized  cost)  of  Crestar's
securities  held  to  maturity   portfolio,   was  composed  of  mortgage-backed
obligations of Federal agencies as of December 31, 1997. This category  includes
mortgage-backed  securities  of  Federal  agencies,  as well  as CMO  securities
guaranteed  by  Federal   agencies  such  as  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage
Corporation.  Securities  classified as "Other taxable  securities"  can include
non-government  CMO  securities,   corporate  debt  obligations,  and  corporate
obligations  securitized  by credit card and  instalment  loan  balances.  Other
taxable  securities  classified  as  available  for sale at  December  31,  1997
included  approximately  $782  million  (market  value)  of  non-government  CMO
obligations.
   None of Crestar's  securities  holdings as classified  by  individual  issuer

   Money market  investments  increased by $686 million or 92% from December 31,

money market investments in 1997 were $389 million, versus $332 million in 1996,
and reflect an appropriate level of investment given liquidity needs and balance
sheet management  strategies.  Average mortgage loans held for sale totaled $684

for sale  resulted in lower  average  levels of mortgage  loans held for sale
during  1997,  in  comparison  to 1996.  The  significant  refinancing  activity
experienced in December 1997 by Crestar's mortgage banking  subsidiary  resulted
in much higher  balances of  mortgage  loans held for sale at December  31, 1997
when compared to the prior year-end level, and in comparison to average balances
during the year.

Types Of Lending
Crestar's  loan  portfolio is broadly  segmented  into  commercial  and consumer
loans.
   The  commercial  loans  are  more   specifically   segmented  into  loans  to
corporations,  partnerships  and  sole  proprietorships.  These  loans  can have
various purposes to include  financing working capital,  equipment,  real estate
and, to a lesser degree,  acquisitions and recapitalizations.  Loan types can be
either  short-term  lines of credit,  term  loans or  mortgage  financing.  Loan
maturities are managed such that they are compatible with the maturity structure
of the Corporation's sources of funding.
   Commercial  real  estate  loans are  further  segmented  into  owner-occupied
property,  income property and construction  loans.  Owner-occupied  property is
considered  to be similar to  traditional  commercial  loans since  repayment is
primarily  from the cash flow of the  owner,  with the real  estate  serving  as
collateral being a secondary repayment source. Income property loans are made to
entities or individuals engaged in real estate investment; the primary source of
repayment  arises  from the rental or sale of the  property.  Construction  loan
funds are used by the  borrower  to build or  develop  real  estate  properties.
Construction  loans are expected to either be refinanced at completion,  convert
to income  property or to be  owner-occupied.  Table 15 shows the  various  loan
categories and balances outstanding for a five year period.
   Consumer loans are comprised of residential real estate  mortgage,  bank card

provement and college tuition. Bank card loans are unsecured  lines of  credit,
while most other  consumer  loans are  secured. Instalment  loans have various
maturity  structures,  with most maturing within five years.  Real
estate-mortgage  loan maturities may extend to 30 years. Most residential  real
estate loans are underwritten to national market standards and therefore can be
securitized and sold into the secondary market.

Credit Underwriting
And Risk Management
Crestar has  comprehensive  policies and procedures  which cover both commercial
and consumer loan origination and management of risk. All loans are underwritten
in a manner that emphasizes the borrower's capacity to pay. The measurement of a
borrower's  capacity to pay serves to define the potential risk of nonpayment or
default.  A higher potential for default is a factor in determining the need for
and  amount of  collateral  required.  Crestar  makes  unsecured  loans when the
capacity to pay is  considered  substantial.  Generally,  as  capacity  lessens,
collateral is required to provide a secondary  source of repayment and to reduce
the risk of loss.  Various  policies  and  procedures  provide  guidance on such
factors as amount,  terms,  price,  maturity and appropriate  collateral levels.
Each risk factor is  considered  critical to assuring  that Crestar  receives an
adequate return for the risk undertaken, and that the risk of loss is minimized.
   Crestar  effectively manages the risk associated with commercial loans, which
generally have balances larger than individual consumer loans, by having lending
professionals work in tandem with credit  underwriting  personnel to determine a
loan's risk. To further assess loan portfolio quality,  there is a Credit Review
team that independently reviews various individual loans and loan segments,  and
supports the credit management process of the Corporation.
   Crestar's  commercial  loans are not  considered to be  concentrated,  except
those loans to real estate developers and investors (REDI).  Diversification  is
achieved through lending to various  industries  located within Crestar's market
area. This diversification is believed to reduce investment risk associated with
changes in economic conditions.
   Due to its  concentration  and  specialized  nature,  real estate  investment
lending is governed by its own distinct policies and procedures. This loan class
is also primarily  underwritten and managed by a specialized division of lending
professionals. Underwriting policies delineate such factors as concentrations by
property type,  amount,  terms,  price and  collateral.  Real estate  investment
lending  is  generally  collateralized  and,  as  such,  market  conditions  are
monitored closely.  Key market measurements include vacancy rates, rental rates,
absorption  rates for new  properties  and  loan-to-value  ratios.  The  Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation  Improvement Act (FDICIA) establishes  guidelines,
by loan type, for real estate lending.  Maximum real estate loan-to-value ratios
under  these  guidelines   include  65%  for  undeveloped  land,  75%  for  land
development  loans, 80% for commercial,  multi-family  and other  nonresidential
construction loans, and 85% for residential (1 to 4 family)  construction loans.
Crestar's  policies for loan-to-value  are within the parameters  established by
the FDICIA.
   Based upon Standard Industrial  Classification codes used for bank regulatory
reporting purposes, the Corporation had no aggregate loan classifications of 10%
or more of total loans in any  particular  industry at  year-end  1997.  Under a
broader view of the portfolio, Crestar had $1.79 billion in loans outstanding at
December 31, 1997 to real estate developers and investors (REDI), comprising 11%
of the  loan  portfolio  at  year-end  1997.  The REDI  designation  is based on
borrower type and encom-

Management's Discussion
Crestar Financial Corporation And Subsidiaries

   passes non-owner occupied real estate and construction loans as well as other
forms of  credit  extended  to real  estate  developers  or  investors.  Crestar
monitors the REDI portfolio with respect to  diversification  on a basis of both
geographic  location  and loan type.  REDI  loans as of  December  31,  1997 are
classified  on the  consolidated  balance sheet as real  estate-income  property
($1.254  billion),  and within the real  estate-construction  ($279 million) and
commercial loan ($256 million) categories.
   Consumer  loans, by their nature and size, are generally not subject to risks
associated with concentration.  However, a portfolio of a specific consumer loan
type may create  concentration  risk, and therefore consumer loan portfolios are
monitored  closely.  The  underwriting  of  consumer  loans at  Crestar  is done
primarily by two lending  groups.  The Consumer  Finance Group  concentrates  on
instalment and bank card lending,  with Crestar's  mortgage banking  subsidiary,
Crestar  Mortgage  Corporation,   handling  real  estate-mortgage   loans.  This
structure is  considered  to be an  effective  approach to cost  management  and
reduction  of credit risk.  Consumer  loan  underwriting  across  product  types
utilizes  both  the  skills  of  lending  professionals  as  well  as the use of
statistically-based  credit-scoring  models. This underwriting process considers
both economic  factors,  such as interest rates,  employment,  consumer  income,
consumer debt and  delinquency  levels,  in addition to individual loan factors,
such as an individual's employment history, payment history, current debt levels
and, if applicable,  collateral values.  Underwriting guidelines are continually
evaluated  and subject to  modification  based upon these  factors.  Future loss
expectations  consider  prevailing  economic and consumer  trends in conjunction
with current loan underwriting guidelines.

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
expected 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 evaluation of the current level of the allowance.
Individual  loan-by-loan reviews are performed quarterly on large commercial and
real estate  exposures in the lower  quality risk  ratings  categories.  For the
remainder of the portfolio, a formula-based approach is utilized. The formula is
designed to cover  inherent loss in that portion of the portfolio not subject to
specific  review.  The formula may be adjusted for changes in the factors listed
above.  Loan loss  allowances  for the consumer loan portfolio are also based on
historical and anticipated losses and the current and projected  characteristics
of the different types of consumer loans.  Management's evaluation and resulting
provision  and  allowance  decisions are reviewed by the Board of Directors on a
quarterly basis.
   Total credit costs, which equals the sum of the provision for loan losses and
foreclosed  properties expense, were $111.2 million in 1997, an increase of $8.4
million or 8% from the $102.8  million in credit costs  recorded  1996.  Crestar
made  provisions  for loan losses of $108.1  million in 1997, an increase of 13%
compared  to  provision  expense  of $95.9  million  in 1996.  The  increase  in
provision expense primarily reflects the performance of Crestar's bank card loan
portfolio  during the year,  which like 1996 was evidenced by historically  high
levels of loan  charge-offs  compared to years prior to 1996.  The increase also
reflects the growth in Crestar's  loan  portfolio  during 1997.  Mitigating  the
increase in total credit costs was a decrease in foreclosed  properties expense,
which  totaled  $3.1  million  for 1997,  compared  to $6.9  million in 1996.  A
provision expense for foreclosed properties of $4.0 million was recorded in 1996
as part  of the  Citizens  merger  costs,  to  recognize  Crestar's  accelerated
disposition  strategy  with respect to specific  foreclosed  properties  held by
Citizens.
   Net loan  charge-offs  in 1997 totaled  $99.7  million,  down slightly from a
total of $100.6 million in net loan  charge-offs  in 1996. Net  charge-offs as a
percentage  of average  loans were 0.69% in 1997,  compared to 0.74% in 1996 and
0.48% in 1995. The largest  proportion of net loan  charge-offs  during 1997 and
1996 occurred in the bank card loan  portfolio.  Net  charge-offs  for bank card
loans were $82.7 million for 1997,  compared to $82.2 million in 1996.  Net bank
card loan  charge-offs  as a  percentage  of bank card loans for 1997 was 6.79%,
compared to 5.37% in 1996 and 3.33% in 1995.  Bank card  charge-off  results for
1997 were favorably  impacted by two non-recurring  items.  During 1997, Crestar
sold a portfolio of fully charged-off loans to another corporation, and recorded
the proceeds of $1.5 million as a recovery.
   The growth of bank card net charge-offs is a result of the significant growth
in  Crestar's  bank card loan  portfolio  during 1993  through  1995.  Crestar's
experience  has  shown  that  the  delinquency  and  loss  performance  of newly
underwritten  bank card loans  typically do not reach their highest levels until
after 24 months  from  origination.  Crestar's  bank card loss  rates  have been
higher than  originally  expected  due to an  unanticipated  decline in consumer
payment performance, influenced by a substantive increase in consumer bankruptcy
filings.  Crestar's  experience  is  similar to many  others in the credit  card
business. The increase in the net charge-off ratio is a result of a more

  Management's Discussion
Crestar Financial Corporation And Subsidiaries
   Total credit costs in 1996 of $102.8 represented an increase of $40.1 million
from total credit costs  recorded in 1995.  Crestar  experienced  an increase in
provision  for loan  losses of $29.6  million  from 1995 to 1996.  The  increase
reflected the performance of Crestar's bank card loan portfolio during the year,
which was evidenced by high levels of loan charge-offs  compared to prior years.
Net loan  charge-offs of $100.6 million in 1996 represented an increase of $35.2
million or 54% from 1995 levels.  A sizable  percentage  of Crestar's  bank card
loan  accounts  began to reach a maturity  level during 1995 and 1996,  with net
charge-off  levels climbing from the levels  experienced  when the accounts were
less than two years old from time of underwriting. Net charge-offs for bank card
loans were $82.2 million for 1996, compared to $52.7 million in 1995.
   The  allowance  for loan  losses  at  December  31,  1997  was $281  million,
representing  1.79% of year-end loans,  326% of total  nonperforming  assets and
465% of total nonperforming  loans. At December 31, 1996, the allowance for loan
losses was $269  million,  representing  1.91% of loans,  247% coverage of total
nonperforming  assets and 330%  coverage  of total  nonperforming  loans at that
date.  Improvement  in the two  coverage  ratios was due to  reductions  in both
nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets from 1996 levels,  accompaned by an
increased  allowance  for loan losses.  Details of the activity in the allowance
for loan  losses for the past five years is shown in Table 16.  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 16 is made to provide a
general indication of the relative risk assessment of the components of the loan
portfolio.

Nonperforming Assets
And Other Risk Elements
Nonperforming  assets consist of nonaccrual loans,  formally  restructured loans
and   foreclosed   properties.   Generally,   commercial   and   consumer   real
estate-mortgage 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 full  collection  of all principal and interest is unlikely.
Bank card loans are not placed in nonaccrual  status,  but are generally charged
off when past due 180 days.  If  notification  of  bankruptcy  has been received
during the 180 day period,  Crestar will seek repayment  (reaffirmation)  of the
bank  card  loan  through  applicable  bankruptcy  laws.  Any loan  balance  not
specifically  reaffirmed within 60 days of notification of bankruptcy is charged
off.  Instalment loans are generally  placed in nonaccrual  status when past due
120 days, with balances not supported by an assessment of collateral charged-off
at that time. If well-secured, loans may be restructured as to rate, maturity or
other terms as determined on an individual credit basis.
   Using the Corporation's  criteria for classification of nonperforming  loans,
loans that are both past due 90 days or more,  but are  deemed to be  adequately
secured and are in the near-term process of collection are not usually placed in
nonaccrual  status and, if not, are therefore  excluded  from the  definition of
nonperforming  assets.  As noted,  the consumer loan charge-off  policy does not
require certain loans to be placed in nonaccrual  status since active collection
efforts are  underway.  Accruing  loans past due 90 days or more,  excluded from
classification  as  nonperforming  assets,  totaled $68 million at December  31,
1997,  with consumer loan  balances  representing  over 90% of this balance (see
Table 17). These loans are in the process of  collection,  with the intention of
collecting  all  principal  and interest due.  Foreclosed  properties  represent
properties acquired through legal foreclosure or similar proceedings.
   At December 31, 1997,  nonperforming  assets of $86.2 million were down $22.7
million or 21% from December 31, 1996. REDI  nonperforming  assets totaled $40.3
million and  comprised 47% of total  nonperforming  assets at December 31, 1997.
The REDI  nonperforming  asset balance reflects a decrease of $21.5 million,  or
35%, from December 31, 1996. In addition, commercial loan nonperforming balances
declined during the year, in part  reflecting a strong  economic  environment in
Crestar's  market area during 1997.  Instalment  and real estate - mortgage loan
categories of nonperforming assets were up slightly in comparison to balances at
December 31, 1996,  but as a percentage of  outstanding  loans show  improvement
over year-end 1996 levels.  Foreclosed  properties  decreased $1.8 million or 6%
from  December 31, 1996 to December 31, 1997.  The December 31, 1997  foreclosed
properties  balance  of  $25.7  million  is net  of a  $13.2  million  valuation
allowance to address  exposure to prevailing  market and economic  conditions on
the marketability of the portfolio.  The ratio of nonperforming  assets to loans
and foreclosed  properties at December 31, 1997 was 0.55%,  compared to 0.77% at
December 31, 1996 and 0.92% at December 31, 1995.

(1) Loans which are both past due 90 days or more and not deemed  nonaccrual due

    definition of nonperforming

   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, 1997,  potential problem loans that are not included in Table 17
as  nonperforming  or past due loans  amounted to $77 million.  Of this balance,
over 90% percent represent commercial or commercial real estate-income  property
related  credits.  In  addition,  $7 million  of  standby  letters of credits in
various  industries  were being  monitored at December  31,  1997.  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.
Potential  problem  loans were $153 million at December  31, 1996.  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.

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for  Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS 114), as amended,  requires that impaired loans
within the scope of the accounting pronouncement 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.  Impaired loans are specifically  reviewed
loans for which it is probable  that the creditor  will be unable to collect all
amounts  due  according  to the terms of the loan  agreement.  Under SFAS 114, a
creditor may use existing methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired
loan.  For  Crestar's  nonaccrual  loans,  including  impaired  loans,  interest
receipts are  recognized as interest  revenue,  or are applied to principal when
management  believes the ultimate  collectibility  of principal is in doubt.  At
December 31, 1997, impaired loans of $14 million were included in the nonaccrual
loan  balances of Crestar.  The balance of impaired  loans at December  31, 1996
totaled $29.8 million. Because the majority of loans deemed impaired during 1997
and 1996 were  collateral  dependent,  valuations of impaired loans did not vary
materially from the values previously assigned to this population of loans.
   The market area for the  Corporation,  which operates  primarily in Virginia,
Maryland and the District of Columbia,  has historically had a higher per capita
income level than the national level, and generally  exhibited stable employment
during the past year.  As a provider of credit to both  commercial  and consumer
customers,  Crestar's  future  financial  results can be impacted by significant
changes in the regional and national economy.
   Crestar is implementing  changes to its information systems so that they will
be fully operable for date recognition and information  processing when the year
2000 begins.  An assessment of needed changes was completed by a  corporate-wide
task  force,   led  by  Crestar's   Technology   and  Operations   Group,   with
representation  from all major business  segments.  The task force  continues to
monitor Crestar's  progress,  in addition to communicating with external service
providers and selected customers to ensure they are taking  appropriate  actions
to address  date  recognition  issues.  A  combination  of internal and external
resources  are being used to implement the needed  changes to the  Corporation's
many different  information systems.  Some of the necessary changes in Crestar's
computer  code have been made  during  the course of normal  maintenance.  Other
changes will necessitate re-writing of computer code, which will be completed in
1998. The total cost for this  conversion and testing process is estimated to be
between $22 and $27 million.  This  estimate  includes  some costs,  such as the
purchase of  computer  hardware,  that will  qualify as  depreciable  assets for
accounting  purposes,  with the related depreciation expense recognized over the
estimated lives of the applicable assets. However, the majority of costs will be
expensed  as  incurred,   in  compliance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles.  Expenses of between $12 million and $15 million are  expected to be
incurred in 1998.  During 1997,  Crestar  incurred  $5.3 million in  noninterest
expenses related to the year 2000 project.

New Accounting Standards
The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  has  issued  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 130 (SFAS 130),  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income," which will be effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15,
1997.  SFAS  130  establishes   standards  for  reporting  and  presentation  of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues,  expenses,  gains and losses)
within  the  Corporation's   consolidated   financial   statements.   Generally,
comprehensive  income  includes  net income  along with other  transactions  not
typically recorded as a component of net income, including changes in unrealized
gains and  losses  on  securities  available  for sale.  SFAS 130  requires  the
disclosure  of an amount  that  represents  total  comprehensive  income and the
components of comprehensive income in a consolidated  financial  statement.  The
provisions  of this  statement are effective  with 1998 interim  reporting.  The
disclosure  requirements will have no impact on financial position or results of
operations.

                                       38

<PAGE>

   The FASB has also issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 131
(SFAS  131),   "Disclosures   about   Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information," which establishes  standards for determining a company's operating
segments and the type and level of financial information to be disclosed in both
annual and interim  financial  statements.  It also  establishes  standards  for
related  disclosures  about products and services,  geographic  areas, and major
customers.  SFAS 131 will be effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning  after  December  15,  1997.  However,  SFAS 131 is not required to be
applied  for  interim  reporting  in the initial  year of  application.  Crestar
expects to comply fully with the requirements by year-end 1998.

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.

   Information contained in "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Operations
and Financial Condition" may contain forward-looking  statements with respect to
Crestar Financial  Corporation's  financial condition and results of operations.
These forward looking  statements may involve  certain risks and  uncertainties.
Factors  that  may  cause  actual  results  to  differ   materially  from  those
contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
an  increase  in  competitive  pressures  in  the  banking  industry,   economic
conditions on both a regional and national basis, adverse  technological change,
changes in the interest rate environment or the Corporation's interest rate risk
position,  and the impact of future legal and regulatory actions,  including the
establishment  of federal deposit  insurance rates. It is important to note that
the actual results may differ materially from those projected in forward-looking
statements.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Crestar Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries


(1) Nature Of Operations, Use Of
Estimates And Accounting Policies
Crestar  Financial  Corporation and  Subsidiaries  (Crestar or the  Corporation)
provide banking and non-banking financial services throughout Virginia, Maryland
and  Washington,  DC, which compose  Crestar's  primary  market area.  Through a
network of 566 banking  locations and 613  automated  teller  machines,  Crestar
provides 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. These
services are offered through a single bank subsidiary.  Other financial services
are provided through non-bank subsidiaries. Mortgage loan origination, servicing
and wholesale mortgage lending are offered by Crestar Mortgage Corporation,  and
Crestar Asset Management Company provides asset management  investment  advisory
services.  Crestar  Insurance  Agency,  Inc.  offers a variety of  personal  and
business  insurance  products.  Crestar Leasing  Corporation  provides equipment
leasing  services.  Securities  brokerage and  investment  banking  services are
offered by Crestar Securities Corporation.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  amounts  reported  in the  consolidated  financial  statements  and
accompanying footnotes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accounting and reporting  policies of Crestar conform to generally  accepted
accounting  principles and to general  practice within the banking and financial
institutions industry.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
consolidated  financial  statements  to  conform to the 1997  presentation.  The
following is a summary of significant policies:

(a) Principles Of Consolidation
The  consolidated  financial  statements of Crestar  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
19).

On December  31,  1996  Crestar  merged  with  Citizens  Bancorp  (Citizens),  a
multi-bank  holding  company,  in a  transaction  accounted  for as a pooling of
interests. Accordingly,  historical financial data for periods before the merger
have been restated to include the combined results of both Crestar and Citizens.
Business  combinations  accounted  for as purchases are included only 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  (generally 15
years).

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

(b) Stock Split
On  December  20,  1996,  the  Corporation's   Board  of  Directors  declared  a
two-for-one split of its common stock in the form of a 100%
stock dividend,  effective January 24, 1997.  Average common shares  outstanding
and per common share data in the  consolidated  financial  statements  have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the common stock split.

(c) Securities
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.

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.

(d) Money Market Investments
Money market  investments are stated at cost, which  approximates  market value,
except for trading securities, which are carried at market value. Trading
securities primarily include U.S. Treasury and municipal debt obligations.
Trading securities may include positions in derivative financial instruments
such as futures contracts and purchased options. 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 are included in income on money market investments.

                                       44

<PAGE>

(e) 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.

(f) Loans
Loans are stated at the principal  amounts  outstanding net of unearned  income.
Interest  on  loans  is  accrued  by  multiplying  the  applicable  rates by the
principal amounts outstanding.

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.  Generally,  business and consumer  real  estate-mortgage
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 full  collection of all principal and interest is unlikely,  based upon
an evaluation of the financial  strength of the borrower and the net  realizable
value of the  collateral.  Bank card loans are not placed in nonaccrual  status,
but are  generally  charged  off when  past due 180  days.  If  notification  of
bankruptcy  has been  received  during  the 180 day  period,  Crestar  will seek
repayment  (reaffirmation) of the bank card loan through  applicable  bankruptcy
laws.  Any  loan  balance  not  specifically   reaffirmed   within  60  days  of
notification of bankruptcy is charged off. Instalment loans are generally placed
in nonaccrual  status when past due 120 days,  with balances not supported by an
assessment of collateral charged-off at that time. If well secured, loans may be
restructured as to rate,  maturity or other terms as determined on an individual
credit basis.  Past due loans are loans which are delinquent 90 days or more but
which  are  currently  not  in  nonaccrual   status  based  on  accounting   and
collectibility criteria.

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

(g) Impaired Loans Effective January 1, 1995, Crestar adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan" (SFAS 114), and No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures" (SFAS  118).  In  accordance  with
SFAS 114,  impaired  loans are  measured  and reported based on 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." A valuation  allowance is required to the extent that the measure of
the impaired loans is less than the recorded investment.

Impaired loans are specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that the
creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the
loan agreement.  The specific  factors that influence  management's  judgment in
determining when a loan is impaired include evaluation of the financial strength
of the borrower and the fair value of the  collateral.  A specifically  reviewed
loan is not impaired during a period of "minimum  delay" in payment,  regardless
of the amount of shortfall, if the ultimate collectibility of all amounts due is
expected. Crestar defines "minimum delay" as past due less than 90 days.

SFAS 114 does not apply to larger groups of  homogeneous  loans such as consumer
instalment, bank card and real estate mortgage loans, which are collectively
evaluated for impairment. Impaired loans are therefore primarily business loans,
which include commercial loans and income property and construction real estate
loans. Crestar applies the measurement methods described above to these loans on
a loan-by-loan basis. Smaller balance populations of business loans, which are
not specifically reviewed in accordance with Crestar's normal credit review
procedures, are also excluded from the application of SFAS 114. Crestar's
impaired loans are nonaccrual loans, as generally loans are placed in nonaccrual
status on the earlier of the date that principal or interest amounts are past
due 90 days or more, or the date that collection of such amounts is judged
uncertain based on evaluation of the financial strength of the borrower and the
fair value of the collateral. Restructured loans are impaired loans in the year
of restructuring; thereafter, such loans are subject to management's evaluation
of impairment based on the restructured terms. Crestar's charge-off policy for
impaired loans is consistent with its policy for loan charge-offs to the
allowance: impaired loans are charged-off when an impaired loan, or a portion
thereof, is considered uncollectible or is transferred to foreclosed properties.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Crestar Financial Corporation And Subsidiaries

SFAS 118 allows a creditor  to use  existing  methods for  recognizing  interest
income on an impaired  loan.  Consistent  with  Crestar's  method for nonaccrual
loans,  interest receipts on impaired loans are recognized as interest income or
are applied to  principal  when the ultimate  collectibility  of principal is in
doubt.

(h) Allowance For Loan Losses
Both the amount of the  provision and the level of the allowance for loan losses
are effected by many factors, including general economic conditions,  actual and
expected 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 evaluation of the current level of the allowance.
Individual  loan-by-loan reviews are performed quarterly on large commercial and
real estate  exposures in the lower  quality risk  ratings  categories.  For the
remainder of the portfolio, a formula-based approach is utilized. The formula is
designed  to cover  inherent  loss in that  portion  of the loan  portfolio  not
subject to specific  review.  The  formula  may be  adjusted  for changes in the
subjective  factors  listed above.  Loan loss  allowances  for the consumer loan
portfolio are also based on historical  and  anticipated  losses and the current
and  projected  characteristics  of  the  different  types  of  consumer  loans.
Management's  evaluation  and resulting  provision  and allowance  decisions are
reviewed by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

Loan charge-offs to the allowance are made when a loan, or a portion thereof, is
considered uncollectible or is transferred to foreclosed properties.

(i) Premises And Equipment
Premises and  equipment  are stated at cost less  accumulated  depreciation  and
amortization.  Depreciation  and  amortization  charges are  computed  using 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.  Capital  lease assets are amortized
over the lease term.

Estimated lives of the principal items of premises and equipment are: 3 to 50
years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 12 years for furniture, fixtures
and equipment. The costs of major renovations are capitalized, while the costs
of ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Interest costs are
capitalized based on a rate representative  of the  Corporation's  long term
cost of funds and the  average balance of construction in progress during the
period.


(j) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consisted of goodwill and deposit based intangibles,  having a
combined balance of $197,049,000 and $179,993,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and favorable lease rights of $371,000 and $427,000, respectively.
Accumulated amortization of goodwill was $81,302,000 and $67,174,000 at December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 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 8 to 15 years.

(k) Capitalized Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (SFAS 125), which became
effective January 1, 1997. SFAS 125, which is applied prospectively from its
effective date, does not significantly change Crestar's accounting for mortgage
loan servicing rights. The cost of mortgage loans sold, with servicing rights
retained, is allocated between the loans and the servicing rights based on their
estimated fair values at time of loan sale. The estimated fair value of mortgage
servicing rights is determined by reference to recent trades of comparable
servicing  rights, or is determined based on expected future cash flows
discounted at an interest rate commensurate with the servicing risks involved.

For the purpose of evaluating and measuring impairment, capitalized mortgage
servicing rights are stratified according to the predominant risk
characteristics of the underlying loans. Impairment is recognized through a
valuation allowance for each stratum based on any excess of the amount
capitalized, net of amortization, over fair value. Fair value in excess of the
amount capitalized, net of amortization, is not recognized. Crestar performs an
impairment analysis based on whether the mortgage servicing rights relate to
conventional or government  guaranteed  residential  mortgage loans, fixed or
floating rate residential  mortgage loans,  and loans  stratified  between below
market rates and all other interest rates.

                                       46

<PAGE>

Capitalized mortgage servicing rights of $63,864,000 and $53,392,000 at December
31,  1997  and  1996,  respectively,  were  included  in  other  assets  in  the
accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets.  Mortgage  servicing  rights of $50
million and $38  million  were  purchased  or  originated  during 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  At December 31, 1997,  capitalized mortgage servicing rights were
net of a related valuation allowance of $538,000. The activity in such valuation
allowance,  which was unchanged from December 31, 1996 had a balance of $456,000
at December 31, 1995, was not material to the consolidated  financial statements
for 1997, 1996 and 1995. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights
was  approximately  $89  million  at  December  31,  1997.  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
serving  and  credit  costs.   Amortization  expense  for  capitalized  mortgage
servicing rights totaled $13.1 million,  $10.2 million and $6.7 million in 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

(l) 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  any
applicable foreclosed property valuation allowance or current earnings.

(m) 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.

The  Corporation  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 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.

(n) Shareholders' Equity
During December 1996, the Corporation's  Board of Directors increased the common
stock authorization from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares.

During 1997,  1996 and 1995 the  Corporation  purchased  and retired  1,954,000,
3,404,000  and  3,530,200  shares of common  stock at an average cost of $43.43,
$29.03 and $23.27 per share, respectively.  No shares were beneficially owned by
a subsidiary.

(o) Earnings Per Share
Effective December 31, 1997 Crestar adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share." This Statement supersedes
APB Opinion No. 15 (Opinion 15), "Earnings Per Share," and replaces the
presentation of primary earnings per share (EPS) with a presentation of basic
EPS. SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of
the income statement. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Contingently issuable shares are included in
the computation of basic EPS as of the date that all necessary conditions have
been satisfied. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
options to issue common stock were exercised. Contingently issuable shares are
included in the computation of diluted EPS based on the number of shares, if
any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of
the contingency period.  Diluted  EPS is computed  similarly  to fully  diluted
EPS  pursuant to Opinion  15.  All  prior-period  EPS data  has  been  restated
to  reflect  the provisions of SFAS 128.

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

(p) Fee Revenue
Crestar  generally  records  mortgage  loan  servicing  income as  payments  are
collected, based on a percentage of the principal balance of loans serviced.
Loan servicing expenses are charged to operations when incurred. Trust and
investment advisory revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, with income
recognized when earned. Fee income from matched swap, cap and floor 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.

(q) Risk Management Instruments
Interest  rate  swaps,  caps and  floors  used to  achieve  interest  rate  risk
management objectives are accounted for in a manner consistent with the
accounting basis of the related asset or liability. An instrument designated to
hedge an asset or liability carried at historical cost is accounted for on an
accrual basis, whereby the interest income or expense of the related asset or
liability is adjusted for the net amount of any interest receivable or payable
generated by the hedging instrument during the reporting  period.  For such
instruments,  no amounts  other  than any  accrued interest  receivable or
payable,  or any deferred premiums paid, are included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

Interest  rate swaps  involve the  exchange of payments  between  counterparties
based on the interest differential between a fixed and a floating interest rate
applied to a notional balance. Under accrual accounting, this interest
differential is recognized as an adjustment to the interest income or expense of
the related asset or liability in the accompanying statements of income. In
exchange for a premium  paid,  purchased  interest  rate caps and  floors
provide  for a payment to Crestar based on the difference between an index
interest rate and the contractual cap or floor rate. Under accrual accounting,
this payment is recognized as an increase to the interest income or as a
decrease to the interest expense of the related asset or liability,
respectively. The premium paid for interest rate caps or floors is amortized
over the life of the  instrument as a decrease to the interest income or as an
increase to the interest expense of the related asset or liability,
respectively.

To qualify for accrual accounting,  these derivative instruments are required to
meet an identified risk management objective, to be designated to specific pools
of  assets  or  liabilities  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets,  and to have
underlying indices that highly correlate (i.e., move concurrently and are of the
same  relative   duration)  with  the  indices  of  the  designated   assets  or
liabilities.  In addition to establishing expected index and balance correlation
at inception,  management  performs a periodic assessment to demonstrate ongoing
correlation.  Should  these  derivative  instruments  fail to meet  the  accrual
criteria at inception or over the life of the instruments, the instruments would
be marked to  market as  trading  securities  (note  1(c)).  Crestar  has had no
derivative  instruments  used for risk management  purposes which have failed to
meet accrual criteria over the life of the instruments.

Upon early  termination of  derivative  instruments  which  otherwise  meet
accrual  criteria,  the net proceeds  received or paid are  deferred,  if
material,  and  amortized  to the interest  income or expense of the related
asset or liability over the lesser of the remaining  contractual life of the
instrument or the maturity of the related asset or  liability.  At December 31,
1997  Crestar had a deferred  gain of $4.2 million included in other assets in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets arising from the early termination
of interest rate floors in the fourth quarter of 1997. At termination,  such
floors qualified for accrual accounting and had a weighted-average remaining
maturity of approximately 3.4 years, which represents the amortization  period
of the resulting  deferred gain.  Approximately  47% of this deferred gain is
being  amortized as an increase to interest income on real estate  mortgage
loans:  approximately  53% is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense
on domestic time deposits.  At December 31, 1996 there were no deferred gains or
losses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets arising from the early
termination  of  instruments  otherwise  qualifying  for accrual accounting.

Forward  contracts  are used to hedge  interest  rate  exposure  on mortgage
loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Unrealized gains and losses
on the  contracts  are included in the cost basis used in  adjusting  the
carrying  value of  mortgage  loans held for sale to the lower of cost or market
value.  Realized gains and losses and adjustments to the lower of cost or market
value are  included  in mortgage  loan  origination  income in the  accompanying
consolidated statements of income.

(r) 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.  Costs of retiree  benefits
other than  pensions are accrued in a manner similar to pension costs.

(2) Mergers And Acquisitions
On November 13, 1997, Crestar acquired American National Bancorp, Inc. (American
National) for a purchase  price of $14 million in cash and 1.236 million  shares
of common stock having a combined value of $77 million. American National, which
operated   American  National  Savings  Bank  with  headquarters  in  Baltimore,
Maryland,  had approximately  $500 million in assets,  $340 million in loans and
$310  million in  deposits at date of  acquisition.  The excess of cost over the
estimated fair value of the tangible net assets acquired was  approximately  $33
million.  The  acquisition of American  National was accounted for as a purchase
and,  accordingly,  the results of operations  since the date of acquisition are
included in the accompanying  consolidated financial statements.  The results of
operations  of American  National for the periods prior to the purchase were not
material to the results of Crestar.



On December 31, 1996 Crestar  merged with Citizens  Bancorp  (Citizens),  a bank
holding company based in Laurel,  Maryland,  in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling of interests business  combination.  Accordingly,  historical  financial
data for periods  before the merger have been  restated to include the  combined
results of both  Crestar and  Citizens.  Approximately  25.3  million  shares of
common  stock were  issued by Crestar to the former  shareholders  of  Citizens.
Citizens  had  total  assets  of  approximately  $4.1  billion  at the  date  of
acquisition. Excluding the impact of $32.5 million (after-tax) in merger related
expenses,  Citizens had net income of $43.4 million,  and Crestar had net income
of $207.4 million,  on a pre-merger  basis for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996, on a pre-merger basis,
was $142.3 million for Citizens and $724.0 million for Crestar.

Net interest income, net income and net income per share amounts for Crestar and
Citizens  for the year ended  December 31, 1995,  prior to  restatement  for the
pooling of interests merger, are presented below:

=====================================================

On December 31, 1995 Crestar merged with Loyola Capital Corporation  (Loyola), a
savings bank  holding  company  based in  Baltimore,  Maryland.  The merger with
Loyola was also accounted for as pooling of interests business combination,  and
historical  financial  data for periods  before the merger were restated at that
time to include the combined results of Crestar and Loyola.  Approximately  10.4
million shares of common stock were issued by Crestar to the former shareholders
of Loyola.  Loyola had total assets of approximately $2.5 billion at the date of
merger.  Excluding the impact of $29.3  million  (after-tax)  in merger  related
expenses,  and the subsequent restatement of results for the Citizens pooling of
interests  merger,  Loyola had net income of  approximately  $19.1  million  and
Crestar had net income of approximately  $189.9 million,  on a pre-merger basis,
for the year ended  December  31, 1995.  Net interest  income for the year ended
December  31,  1995,  on a pre-merger  basis,  was $71.3  million for Loyola and
$608.1 million for Crestar.

In addition to the state and local income tax expense  above,  Crestar  incurred
Virginia bank franchise tax expense of $5.5 million, $6.1 million and $3.9
million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This tax is imposed on banks in
Virginia in lieu of income and personal  property  taxes.  Crestar  remits  80%
of  this  tax  to the  Virginia municipalities  in  which  it  does  business
and  the  remaining  20%  to  the Commonwealth of Virginia.

</TABLE>
Crestar  Capital Trust I (the Trust) is a wholly-owned  special  purpose finance
subsidiary of the Parent,  operating in the form of a grantor  trust.  The Trust
was created in 1996 solely to issue capital securities and remit the proceeds to
Crestar.  Crestar is the sole owner of the common stock securities of the Trust.
On December 31, 1996, the Trust issued 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock capital
securities  (Trust Preferred Stock) with a stated value of $1,000 per share, and
a fixed  dividend  yield of 8.16% of the stated  value.  The stated value of the
Trust Preferred Stock is  unconditionally  guaranteed on a subordinated basis by
the Parent.  The  securities  have a mandatory  redemption  date of December 15,
2026,  and are  subject  to  varying  call  provisions  at the option of Crestar
beginning  December  15, 2006.  Through an  inter-company  lending  transaction,
proceeds  received by the Trust from the sale of the securities were lent to the
Parent for general corporate purposes.
   The Trust  Preferred  Stock is senior to  Crestar's  common stock in event of
claims against Crestar,  but is subordinate to all senior and subordinated  debt
securities.  Crestar has the right to terminate the Trust upon the occurrence of
certain  events,   including  (a)  dividend  payments  on  the  preferred  stock
securities  are no longer  deemed  tax-deductible,  or the Trust is taxed on the
income  received  from the  underlying  inter-company  debt  agreement  with the
Parent, (b) the capital securities are no longer considered Tier 1 capital under
Federal Reserve Bank guidelines,  or (c) the Trust,  through a change of law, is
deemed to be an investment  company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
subject to that act's reporting requirements.
   Shares of the Trust Preferred Stock are capital securities which are distinct
from the common stock or preferred stock of Crestar,  and the dividends  thereon
are tax-deductible. Dividends accrued for payment by the Trust are classified as
interest  expense on  long-term  debt in the  consolidated  income  statement of
Crestar.

   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 for  Federal
bank  regulatory purposes  subject  to  applicable  discounts  for  remaining
time to  maturity. 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, 1997 place  restrictions  upon the
disposal of  subsidiary  common stock.

   Mortgage  indebtedness  consists of the debt relating to one pledged facility
owned by Crestar Bank which had an aggregate  carrying  value of $9.7 million at
December 31, 1997.  Mortgage  payments in 1997,  including  interest,  were $1.4
million; payments in 1998 are expected to approximate the 1997 amount.
   The  Corporation  made  payments of $62.1  million,  $49.8  million and $48.2
million in interest on long-term debt in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
   The combined maturities of all long-term debt for the years 1998 through 2002

(13) Regulatory Requirements And Restrictions
The  Corporation's  bank  affiliate  is subject to  various  regulatory  capital
requirements  administered  by the  federal  banking  agencies.  Failure to meet
minimum  capital  requirements  can  initiate  certain  mandatory  and  possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Corporation's financial statements.  Under capital
adequacy  guidelines and the regulatory  framework for prompt corrective action,
the  bank  affiliate  must  meet  specific   capital   guidelines  that  involve
quantitative  measures of assets,  liabilities,  and certain  off-balance  sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The bank affiliate's
capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative  judgments by
the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
   Quantitative  measures  established by regulation to ensure capital  adequacy
require the bank affiliate to maintain  minimum  amounts and ratios of total and
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.
Management believes,  as of December 31, 1997, that the bank affiliate meets all
capital adequacy  requirements to which it is subject.  As of December 31, 1997,
the most recent  notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the bank
affiliate as "well  capitalized".  There are no  conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.
   The bank  affiliate's  actual  regulatory  capital amounts and ratios are set
forth below:

(1) During 1997,  two bank  affiliates  of Crestar,  Citizens  Bank of Maryland
    and Citizens  Bank of  Washington,  N.A.,  which were  acquired  by Crestar
    in its December 31, 1996 merger with Citizens Bancorp, were merged into
    Crestar Bank. All data as of  December  31,  1996 for Crestar  Bank reflects
    the pro forma balances of the two banking affiliates (Citizens Bank of
    Maryland and Citizens Bank of Washington,  N.A.) as if the mergers into
    Crestar Bank had taken place on December 31, 1996. Each individual affiliate
    was "well  capitalized" as of year-end  1996  under  the   applicable
    regulatory   guidelines.

Notes  To Consolidated Financial Statements
Crestar Financial Corporation And Subsidiaries

Under the current  supervisory  practices  of the Bank  subsidiary's  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 Bank subsidiary at January 1, 1998, without prior approval,  was
approximately $279.1 million.  Cash dividends paid by the Bank subsidiary to the
Parent in 1997,  1996 and 1995 were  $105.6  million,  $144.7  million and $89.1
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 Bank subsidiary.  Generally, up
to 10% of the Bank  subsidiary's  total risk-based  capital and excess allowance
for loan  losses  may be  loaned by the bank  subsidiary  to the  Parent.  As of
December 31, 1997, $206 million of credit was available to the Parent under this
limitation, although no Section 23A extensions of credit were outstanding.
   For the reserve  maintenance  period in effect at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
the Bank  subsidiary was required to maintain an average daily balance  totaling
approximately $219.7 million and $289.5 million, respectively,  with the Federal
Reserve Bank. The average amount of reserve balances for the year ended December
31, 1997 totaled approximately $335.4 million.
   As of January 1, 1997,  aggregate  loans to directors and executive  officers
and their associates were $37.3 million.  Additions and repayments totaled $16.7
million  and  $519,000,  respectively,  during  1997 and the  balance  was $20.7
million at year end. A net  reduction  of $32.8  million in 1997  resulted  from
changes in executive  officer and director status.  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, 1997.

(14) Pension Plans
Substantially    all   employees   are   participants   in   the   Corporation's
noncontributory  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.
   A  summary  of  the  plans'  funded  status  and  amounts  recognized  in the
Corporation's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1997 and 1996 based on
a measurement date of September 30 for each year, follows.

During 1995,  Crestar  purchased  annuities to settle  pension  obligations  for
selected  retirees  of the  Corporation.  As a  result,  the  projected  benefit
obligation  was  reduced by $18.9  million in 1995,  and a pre-tax  gain of $4.3
million was recognized as noninterest income.
   Assumptions  used in the valuation of the defined  benefit  pension plans and
the  determination  of  the  actuarial  present  value  of the  project  benefit
obligation for 1997 were a weighted  average  discount rate of 7.5%, an expected
long-term  rate of return of 9.25%,  and an assumed  4.75% rate of  increase  in
future compensation.
   The Citizens and Loyola plans were each valued  separately  for periods prior
to their  merger  with  Crestar,  and each  plan  independently  determined  its
assumptions. The aggregate disclosures for 1996 and 1995, therefore, reflect the
following weighted average assumptions used in determining the actuarial present
value of the projected benefit obligations:

(15) Stock Compensation Plans
The Corporation applies Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for stock-based  compensation plans.  Accordingly,
no  compensation  cost has been  recognized  for its fixed  stock  options.  Had
compensation  cost for the  Corporation's  fixed stock  options been  determined
based on the fair  value at the grant  dates,  consistent  with the  alternative
method of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), the Corporation's
net income and diluted  earnings per common share would have been reduced to the
pro forma amounts indicated below. In accordance with the transition  provisions
of SFAS 123, the pro forma amounts  reflect fixed stock options with grant dates
subsequent  to  January  1,  1995.

Under the 1993  Stock  Incentive  Plan,  the Corporation  may  grant  incentive
and  non-qualified   stock  options,   stock appreciation  rights  (SARs),
financial  performance-related  stock  awards and outright awards of stock to
any employee. The Corporation may grant a maximum of 4.0 million shares under
the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan; stock awards,  including the  settlement of
performance  awards,  are limited to a maximum of 1.4 million shares.  Under the
1981 Stock Option Plan,  727,259 previously granted incentive and non-qualified
stock options were outstanding at December 31, 1997. No future options are
available for grant under this plan.  Under both plans, the exercise price of
each fixed stock option  equals the market  price of the  Corporation's stock on
the date of grant. An option's  maximum term is 10 years.  Options vest one year
from date of grant.
   For the purpose of computing the pro forma amounts  indicated above, the fair
value of each option on the date of grant is estimated  using the  Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for Crestar's grants in
1997,  1996 and 1995:  dividend yields of 2.9% to 4.2%;  expected  volatility of
29%, 30% and 27%, respectively; risk-free interest rates of 5.3% to 7.7%; and an
expected option life of 3.8 years.  Citizens used the following  assumptions for
grants in 1996 and 1995: dividend yields of 3.8% to 4.2%; expected volatility of
25% and 26%,  respectively;  a risk-free  interest rate of 6.6%; and an expected
option life of 4.8 years.
   The  weighted-average  fair value of each  option  granted by Crestar  during
1997, 1996 and 1995 was $9.00, $5.95 and $4.18,
respectively. The weighted-average fair value of each option granted by Citizens
during 1996 and 1995 was $4.54 and $4.09, respectively.  A summary of the status
of the  Corporation's  fixed stock option plans as of December 31 and  changes
during the years  ending on those dates is presented below:

The Value Share Program was  established  under the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan to
provide  senior   managers  with  an   opportunity   for  reward  based  on  the
Corporation's  long-term  performance.  During  1997,  the  Corporation  granted
214,300 value shares when Crestar's  stock price was $37 per share,  and 121,650
value shares when Crestar's stock price was $56 per share.  The grant of 214,300
value shares is payable in fifty percent stock and fifty percent cash; the grant
of 121,650 value shares is payable  entirely in stock.  The  percentage of value
share awards earned is based on Crestar's  attainment of certain strategic goals
over a performance  cycle.  The performance  cycle is two to three years;  value
shares may be earned earlier if certain  strategic  goals are met. There were no
new value share  awards  granted in 1996 and 1995.  During  1997,  96,450  value
shares  granted  prior to 1995  were paid in an award of $1.7  million  cash and
48,154  common  shares  when  Crestar's  stock  price  was  $35  per  share.  In
conjunction with this award, 75,476 non-qualified stock options were granted.
   During  1997,  1996  and1995,  common  shares of 25,748,  51,602 and  20,852,
respectively,  related to  performance  awards granted prior to 1995 were issued
when Crestar's stock price was $37, $29 and $22 per share,  respectively.  Other
outright awards of stock were not material in the years presented.
   During 1995, the Corporation granted 30,000 performance shares,  subject only
to a three year vesting requirement, to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
when the stock price was $28 per share.  These performance shares are not issued
and have no  voting  rights,  but do  receive  dividend  equivalents  which  are
converted to additional shares.
   The  Corporation  recognized  compensation  expense for performance and value
shares,  including awards granted in years prior to 1995, of $1.4, $3.3 and $1.3
million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
   Under the Directors' Equity Program,  each non-employee  director is eligible
to receive  equity  awards  covering a five-year  cycle.  Equity  awards are not
issued and have no voting rights;  equity awards do receive dividend equivalents
which are converted to additional shares.  Equity awards vest over the five-year
cycle in 20 percent  increments based on the participant's  total years of board
service,  including  years prior to 1996.  Equity awards granted in 1996 totaled
20,400 shares,  each granted when the stock price was $30 per share.  There were
no material  directors'  equity awards or  distributions  in 1997.  Compensation
expense recognized in 1996 related to directors' equity awards totaled $600,000.
Directors' may also defer annual  retainers which may be payable in stock at the
election of the director; such amounts were not material in the years presented.

</TABLE>
The weighted  average  annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of
covered  benefits for health insurance is 7% for 1998 and is assumed to decrease
to 6% 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 $5.3 million,  and would increase the aggregate of the service and
interest components of net postretirement  benefit expense by approximately $403
thousand for 1997.  The weighted  average  discount rate used in projecting  the
accumulated  plan benefit  obligation was 7.50% for 1997 and 7.75% for 1996; the
average rate of annual compensation increase was 4.75% for both years.
   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 $100  million and $91 million at December 31, 1997
and 1996, 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.  During 1997,
1996 and 1995 the Corporation made 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 $17.6 million,  $16.8 million and $16.0 million in 1997,  1996
and 1995, respectively.

(20) Commitments, Contingencies
And Other Financial Instruments
   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,  floors and
collars, swaps and forward contracts,  which are some of the instruments used by
Crestar  to meet the  financing  needs of its  customers  and to manage  its own
interest rate risk. These instruments  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 smaller.  The contract or notional amount, the estimated fair value and
the credit risk amount of each class of such  instruments at December 31 was:

============================================================================================================
</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 these items are  expected to expire  without  being
drawn upon.

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, 1997. However,  under a broader view of the portfolio,  Crestar had
$1.8 billion in loans  outstanding  to real estate  developers  and investors at
year-end 1997. 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.  Recourse  obligations at
December 31, 1997 included $112 million of contractual recourse liability
accepted by

                                       66

<PAGE>


Crestar on mortgage loan sales to the Federal National Mortgage  Association
(FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation  (FHLMC).  For the period
extending over the life of the  loans,  FNMA and FHLMC  have the right to sell
any loans  which become delinquent back to Crestar.  Crestar maintains an
allowance  (included in other  liabilities in the  consolidated  balance sheet),
which had a balance of $309,000 at December  31,  1997,  based on  estimates  of
future  losses on this contractual recourse liability.  Recourse obligations
also included $119 million of contractual  recourse  liability accepted by
Crestar on certain mortgage loan sales to  private  investors.  For the  period
extending  up to one  year  from origination,   investors  have  the  right  to
sell  loans  that  meet  certain delinquency criteria back to Crestar. The
remaining notional balance of recourse obligations  of $1.5 billion at December
31, 1997 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  (GNMA).  Approximately  $1.0 billion  of this  notional  balance
was  insured  by  agencies  of the  Federal government or private insurance
companies at December 31, 1997.
   As a financial institution,  Crestar entails 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 fair  value of the  underlying  hedged  asset or  liability.  For
interest rate risk management  purposes,  Crestar was using interest rate (fixed
receive)  swaps with  notional  balances  of $1.4  billion  and $250  million at
December 31, 1997 to convert  floating rate  commercial  and  instalment  loans,
respectively,  to fixed rates.  Crestar was using  purchased  interest rate caps
with  notional  balances of $1.75  billion and $200  million to hedge the market
value of fixed  rate  securities  available  for  sale  and real  estate  income
property loans,  respectively,  and $460 million to minimize  interest rate risk
associated  with rising rates on floating  rate money market  deposits.  Crestar
also serves as a financial  intermediary  in interest rate swap,  cap and collar
agreements, providing interest rate risk management services to customers. As an
intermediary,  Crestar becomes a principal in the exchange of interest  payments
between parties and is exposed to loss should one party default. The Corporation
performs normal credit review on each counterparty and minimizes its exposure by
entering into offsetting positions or by using hedging techniques.
   The notional  amount of these  over-the-counter  traded  interest rate swaps,
caps,  floors 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  $19.6
million, less collateral held of approximately $11.1 million, plus an amount for
prospective market movement.  Four counterparties  constituted 17%, 16%, 11% and
10% of the estimated credit and market exposure of $57.8 million at December 31,
1997.
   Crestar also had forward  agreements  outstanding at December 31, 1997, 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.
   Crestar may, from time to time, enter into certain derivative contracts, such
as purchased futures or options contracts,  for trading purposes.  Such contract
amounts were not material in 1997 and 1996.
   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,  floors and forward  contracts  related to
interest rate risk management  activities was $20.3 million and $24.0 million at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The carrying value of such instruments
includes  any  accrued  interest   receivable  and/or  payable   balances,   and
unamortized  premiums paid for interest rate caps and floors. The carrying value
of other  off-balance  sheet financial  instruments was not material at December
31, 1997 and 1996.
   Certain litigation is pending or threatened against Crestar.  Management,  in
consultation  with legal counsel,  is of the opinion that there is no pending or
threatened  litigation  that could,  individually  or in the  aggregate,  have a
material impact on the Corporation's financial condition or financial statements
beyond liabilities established for this purpose.

(21) 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 20. 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 primarily of customers'  liability
on  acceptances  and accrued  interest  receivable,  for which  carrying  amount
approximates fair value.
   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 primarily of liability on acceptances,  interest payable on
deposits and balances due upon  settlement  of securities  purchases,  for which
carrying value approximates fair value.

Crestar Financial Corporation


The Board Of Directors And Shareholders
We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Crestar
Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the Corporation) as of December 31, 1997
and 1996 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,  1997.  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
did  not  audit  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Citizens  Bancorp
(Citizens),  which was acquired during 1996 in a transaction  accounted for as a
pooling of interests,  as discussed in note 2. Such  statements  are included in
the  consolidated  financial  statements  of the  Corporation  and reflect total
assets  constituting  18% at December  31,  1996,  and total income from earning
assets  constituting  18% in 1996 and 1995 of the related  consolidated  totals.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report,  dated January 16,
1997 expressed an unqualified  opinion  thereon.  The other auditors' report has
been  furnished  to us, and our  opinion,  insofar as it relates to the  amounts
included for Citizens, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
   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  and the  report of the other  auditors  provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
   In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, 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,  1997  and  1996,  and the  results  of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period
ended  December  31,  1997 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

Crestar Financial Corporation

Statement On Corporate Responsibility
The  financial  statements on pages 40 to 69 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. We fulfill these responsibilities 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.  Our
internal auditing function  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 are
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 processes and procedures, and audit and
regulatory  examination  reports of the  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries.  In
addition,  our  external  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 has audited the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements.   Their  report   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  ensuring  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,
which  engages in a banking  business in Virginia,  Maryland and the District of
Columbia,  and four  subsidiaries  that  provide  insurance,  leasing,  mortgage
banking and full-service securities and investment banking services. At December
31, 1997,  Crestar had $24.9  billion in total  assets,  $16.4  billion in total
deposits and $2.1 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 newly chartered 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.  Since 1990,  Crestar Financial  Corporation has
acquired 23 banks and thrifts in  Virginia,  Maryland  and  Washington,  DC. The
single transaction in 1997 was the purchase of American National Bancorp,  Inc.,
which added approximately $500 million in assets and $310 million in deposits to
the Crestar banking system.
   Crestar 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
requires   Federal  Reserve   approval  for  bank   acquisitions  and  regulates
non-banking  activities of bank holding companies.  Deposits of Crestar Bank are
insured  by  the   Federal   Deposit   Insurance   Corporation   (FDIC).   As  a
Virginia-chartered  bank,  Crestar Bank is  regulated  by the State  Corporation
Commission of Virginia.
   Since September 1995, the BHCA has permitted bank holding  companies from any
state to acquire  banks and bank holding  companies  located in any other state,
subject  to  certain   conditions,   including   nationwide  and  state  imposed
concentration  limits.  Banks  have been able to branch  across  state  lines by
acquisition,  merger  or new bank  charter,  since  June 1,  1997,  if state law
expressly permits interstate  branching.  The laws of Virginia,  the District of
Columbia and Maryland expressly permit 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  undercapitalized  insured depository  affiliates.
Crestar Bank was considered  "well-capitalized"  under regulatory definitions in
effect at December 31, 1997. This is the highest rating presently available.
   Crestar serves customers  through a network of 566 banking  locations and 613
automated  teller machines as of December 31, 1997.  Crestar Bank offers 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.  Other services
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.  Crestar Leasing  Corporation  provides equipment leasing services.
Mortgage  loan  origination,  servicing  and  wholesale  lending  are offered by
Crestar Mortgage  Corporation.  Crestar Asset Management  Company provides asset
management  investment  advisory  services.  Crestar  Mortgage  Corporation  and
Crestar Asset Management Company 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,  Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland. Crestar's operations
centers are located in Richmond and Glen Burnie, Maryland.

                                    Article I

                             Meeting Of Stockholders

     1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at
such place, either within or without the State of Virginia, as may be designated
by the Board of Directors.

     1.2 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders, for the election
of Directors and transaction of such other business as may come before the
meeting, shall be held at such time and date as designated by the Board of
Directors.

     1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose
or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, by the
President, or by a majority of the Board of Directors. No business shall be
transacted and no corporate action shall be taken at a special meeting other
than that stated in the notice of the meeting.

     1.4 Notice of Meetings. Unless waived in the manner prescribed by law,
notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given in writing, not less than
ten nor more than sixty days before the day of the meeting, or such other notice
as is required by law, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and
shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a
special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the
United States mail, with postage thereon prepaid, directed to the stockholder at
his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation.

     1.5 Quorum. Any number of stockholders together holding a majority of
outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote with respect to the
business to be transacted, who shall be present in person or represented by
proxy at any meeting duly called, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business. If less than a quorum shall be in attendance at the time for which
a meeting shall have been called, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time
by a majority of the stockholders present or represented by proxy without notice
other than by announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall attend.


     1.6 Voting. At any meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder of a class
entitled to vote on any matter coming before the meeting shall, as to such
matter, have one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of capital stock of
such class standing in his or her name on the stock transfer books of the
Corporation on that date, not more than seventy days prior to such meeting, as
designated by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of determining
stockholders entitled to vote, as the date on which the stock transfer books of
the Corporation are to be closed or as the record date. Every proxy shall be in
writing and signed by the stockholder entitled to vote or signed by his or her
duly authorized attorney in fact. At a meeting where a quorum is present, the
affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote shall be the act of the stockholders.

                   Indemnification Of Directors And Officers


     7.1.  Extent of Indemnification.

     (a) To the full extent that the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, as it
exists on the date hereof or may hereafter be amended, permits the limitation or
elimination of the liability of directors or officers, a Director or officer of
the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages.

     (b) To the full extent permitted and in the manner prescribed by the
Virginia Stock Bank Act and any other applicable law, the Corporation shall
indemnify a Director or officer of the Corporation who is or was a party to any
proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was such a Director or
officer or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The Board of Directors is
hereby empowered, by majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Directors, to
contract in advance to indemnify any Director or officer.

     (c) The Board of Directors is hereby empowered, by majority vote of a
quorum of disinterested Directors, to cause the Corporation to indemnify or
contract in advance to indemnify any person not specified in Section B of this
Article who was or is a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that he
is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise, to the same extent as if such person were specified as one to whom
indemnification is granted in Section B.

     7.2. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to
indemnify it against the whole or any portion of the liability assumed by it in
accordance with this Article and may also procure insurance, in such amounts as
the Board of Directors may determine, on behalf of any person who is or was a
Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, against any liability asserted against or incurred by such
person in any such capacity or arising from his status as such, whether or not
the Corporation would have power to indemnify him or her against such liability
under the provisions of this Article.

     7.3. Change in Board Composition. In the event there has been a change in
the composition of a majority of the Board of Directors after the date of the
alleged act or omission with respect to which indemnification is claimed, any
determination as to indemnification and advancement of expenses with respect to
any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of this Article
VII shall be made by special legal counsel agreed upon by the


                                      -13-


<PAGE>


Board of Directors and the proposed indemnitee. If the Board of Directors and

the nominees shall select such special legal counsel.

     7.4. Miscellaneous. The provisions of this Article VII shall be applicable
to all actions, claims, suits or proceedings commenced after the adoption
hereof, whether arising from any action taken or failure to act before or after
such adoption. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article shall
diminish the rights provided hereby or diminish the right to indemnification
with respect to any claim, issue or matter in any then pending or subsequent
proceeding that is based in any material respect on any alleged action or
failure to act prior to such amendment, modification or repeal. Reference herein
to Directors, officers, employees or agents shall include Area Board Directors,
former Directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective heirs,
executors and administrators.

instrument.

Board of Directors or of the Executive Committee, the Chairman of the Board, the
President, or any Executive or Senior Vice President may from time to time

may be entitled to cast as a stockholder or otherwise in any other corporation,
any of whose stock or securities may be held by this Corporation, at meetings of
the holders of the stock or other securities of such other corporation, or to

behalf of this Corporation such written proxies, consents, waivers or other
instruments as may be necessary or proper. In lieu of an appointment of an
attorney or agent, the officer may attend any meetings of the holders of stock
or other securities of any such other corporation and there vote or exercise any
or all power of this Corporation as the holder of such stock or other securities
of such other corporation.

                                    PURPOSES

             The Plan is intended to assist the Company and Related Entities in
recruiting and retaining individuals with ability and initiative by enabling
such persons to participate in the future success of the Company and the Related
Entities and to associate their interests with those of the Company and its
shareholders. The Plan is intended to permit the grant of both Options
qualifying under Section 422 of the Code ("incentive stock options") and Options
not so qualifying, and the grant of SARs, Stock Awards, Performance Shares and
Incentive Awards. No Option that is intended to be an incentive stock option
shall be invalid for failure to qualify as an incentive stock option. The
proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to this
Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.


                                  ARTICLE III

                                 ADMINISTRATION

             The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. The
Administrator shall have authority to grant Stock Awards, Performance Shares,
Incentive Awards, Options and SARs upon such terms (not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Plan), as the Administrator may consider appropriate. Such
terms may include conditions (in addition to those contained in this Plan), on
the exercisability of all or any part of an

                                      -7-


<PAGE>

Option or SAR or on the transferability or forfeitability of a Stock Award, an
award of Performance Shares or an Incentive Award, including by way of example
and not of limitation, conditions on which Participants may defer receipt of
benefits under the Plan, requirements that the Participant complete a specified
period of employment with the Company or a Related Entity, requirements that the
Company achieve a specified level of financial performance or that the Company
achieve a specified level of financial return. Notwithstanding any such
conditions, the Administrator may, in its discretion, accelerate the time at
which any Option or SAR may be exercised, or the time at which a Stock Award may
become transferable or nonforfeitable or the time at which an Incentive Award or
an award of Performance Shares may be settled. In addition, the Administrator
shall have complete authority to interpret all provisions of this Plan; to
prescribe the form of Agreements; to adopt, amend, and rescind rules and
regulations pertaining to the administration of the Plan; and to make all other
determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan. The
express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall not
be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Administrator. Any
decision made, or action taken, by the Administrator or in connection with the
administration of this Plan shall be final and conclusive. Neither the
Administrator nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for any act done
in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Agreement, Option, SAR, Stock
Award or Incentive Award or award of Performance

                                      -8-

Shares. All expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company, a
Related Entity or a combination thereof.

             The Committee, in its discretion, may delegate to one or more
officers of the Company or the Executive Committee of the Board, all or part of
the Committee's authority and duties with respect to grants and awards to
individuals who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section
16 of the Exchange Act. The Committee may revoke or amend the terms of a
delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of
the Committee's delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the
Plan.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                                  ELIGIBILITY

             Any employee of the Company or a Related Entity (including a
corporation that becomes a Related Entity after the adoption of this Plan), is
eligible to participate in this Plan if the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, determines that such person has contributed significantly or can be
expected to contribute significantly to the profits or growth of the Company or
a Related Entity. Directors of the Company who are employees of the Company or a
Related Entity may be selected to participate in this Plan.

                             STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

5.01.  Shares Issued. Upon the award of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a
Stock Award or in settlement of an award of Performance Shares, the Company may
issue shares of Common Stock from its authorized but unissued Common Stock. Upon
the exercise of any Option or SAR the Company may deliver to the Participant (or
the Participant's broker if the Participant so directs), shares of Common Stock
from its authorized but unissued Common Stock.

5.02.  Aggregate Limit. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
that may be issued under this Plan, pursuant to the exercise of SARs and Options
and the grant of Stock Awards and the settlement of Performance Shares awarded
on and after February 28, 1997, is 4,000,000 shares. The maximum aggregate
number of shares that may be issued under this Plan as Stock Awards and in
settlement of Performance Shares awarded on and after February 28, 1997, is
1,200,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued
under this Plan and the maximum number of shares that may be issued as Stock
Awards and in settlement of Performance Shares shall be subject to adjustment as
provided in Article XI.

5.03.  Reallocation of Shares. If an Option is terminated, in whole or in part,
for any reason other than its exercise or the exercise of a Corresponding SAR
that is settled with Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock
allocated to the Option or portion thereof may be reallocated to other Options,
SARs, Performance Shares and

                                      -10-


<PAGE>

Stock Awards to be granted under this Plan. If an SAR is terminated, in whole or
in part, for any reason other than its exercise that is settled with Common
Stock or the exercise of a related Option, the number of shares of Common Stock
allocated to the SAR or portion thereof may be reallocated to other Options,
SARs, Performance Shares and Stock Awards to be granted under this Plan. If an
award of Performance Shares is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason
other than its settlement with Common Stock, the number of shares of Common
Stock allocated to the Performance Shares or portion thereof may be reallocated
to other options, SARs, Performance Shares and Stock Awards to be granted under
this Plan. If a Stock Award is forfeited, in whole or in part, for any reason,
the number of shares of Common Stock allocated to the Stock Award or portion
thereof may be reallocated to other Options, SARs, Performance Shares and Stock
Awards to be granted under this Plan.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                    OPTIONS

6.01.  Award. In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the Administrator
will designate each individual to whom an Option is to be granted and will
specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each such award;
provided, however, that no individual may be granted Options in any calendar
year covering more than 100,000 shares of Common Stock.

                                      -11-


<PAGE>

6.02.  Option Price. The price per share for Common Stock purchased on the
exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator on the date of
grant, but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date the Option
is granted.

6.03.  Maximum Option Period. The maximum period in which an Option may be
exercised shall be ten years from the date such Option was granted. The terms of
any Option may provide that it is exercisable for a period less than such
maximum period.

6.04.  Nontransferability. Except as provided in Section 6.05, each Option
granted under this Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. In the event of any transfer of an Option (by the
Participant or his transferee), the Option and any Corresponding SAR that
relates to such Option must be transferred to the same person or persons or
entity or entities. Except as provided in Section 6.05, during the lifetime of
the Participant to whom the Option is granted, the Option may be exercised only
by the Participant. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option shall be
liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such
Participant.

6.05.  Transferable Options. Section 6.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, if
the Agreement provides, an Option that is not an incentive stock option may be
transferred by a Participant to the Participant's children, grandchildren,
spouse, one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members or a
partnership in which such family members are the only partners, on such terms
and conditions as may be permitted under Securities Exchange Commission Rule
16b-3 as in effect from time to time. The holder of an Option transferred
pursuant to this section shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that
governed the Option during the period that it was held by the Participant;
provided, however, that such transferee may not transfer the Option except

                                      -12-


<PAGE>

by will or the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any transfer of
an Option (by the Participant or his transferee), the Option and any
Corresponding SAR that relates to such Option must be transferred to the same
person or persons or entity or entities.

6.06.  Employee Status. For purposes of determining the applicability of Section
422 of the Code (relating to incentive stock options), or in the event that the
terms of any Option provide that it may be exercised only during employment or
within a specified period of time after termination of employment, the
Administrator may decide to what extent leaves of absence for governmental or
military service, illness, temporary disability, or other reasons shall not be
deemed interruptions of continuous employment.

6.07.  Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable
Agreement, an Option may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time
to time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the
Administrator shall determine; provided, however, that incentive stock options
(granted under the Plan and all plans of the Company and its Related Entities)
may not be first exercisable in a calendar year for stock having a Fair Market
(determined as of the date an Option is granted) exceeding the limit prescribed
by Code section 422(d). An Option granted under this Plan may be exercised with
respect to any number of whole shares less than the full number for which the
Option could be exercised. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the
right to exercise the Option from time to time in accordance

                                      -13-


<PAGE>

with this Plan and the applicable Agreement with respect to the remaining shares
subject to the Option. The exercise of an Option shall result in the termination
of any Corresponding SAR to the extent of the number of shares with respect to
which the Option is exercised.

6.08.  Payment. Unless otherwise provided by the Agreement, payment of the
Option price shall be made in cash or a cash equivalent acceptable to the
Administrator. Subject to rules established by the Administrator, payment of all
or part of the Option price may be made with shares of Common Stock which have
been owned by the Participant for at least six months and which have not been
used for another exercise during the prior six months. If Common Stock is used
to pay all or part of the Option price, the sum of the cash and cash equivalent
and the Fair Market Value (determined as of the day preceding the date of
exercise) of such shares must not be less than the Option price of the shares
for which the Option is being exercised.

6.09.  Change in Control. Section 6.07 to the contrary notwithstanding, each
outstanding Option shall be fully exercisable (in whole or in part at the
discretion of the holder) on and after a Control Change Date and during the
period (i) beginning on the first day after a tender offer or exchange offer for
shares of Common Stock (other than an offer made by the Company); provided that
shares are acquired pursuant to such offer and (ii) ending on the thirtieth day
following the expiration of such offer.


6.10.  Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder
with respect to shares subject to his Option until the date of exercise of such
Option.

                                      -14-


<PAGE>

6.11.  Disposition of Stock. A Participant shall notify the Company of any sale
or other disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that was an
incentive stock option if such sale or disposition occurs (i) within two years
of the grant of an Option or (ii) within one year of the issuance of the Common
Stock to the Participant. Such notice shall be in writing and directed to the
Secretary of the Company.


                                  ARTICLE VII

                                      SARS

7.01.  Award. In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the Administrator
will designate each individual to whom SARs are to be granted and will specify
the number of shares covered by each such award; provided, however, that no
individual may be granted SARs in any calendar year covering more than 100,000
shares. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an Option and Corresponding SAR
shall be treated as a single award. In addition, no Participant may be granted
Corresponding SARs (under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and
its Affiliates) that are related to incentive stock options which are first
exercisable in any calendar year for stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined as of the date the related Option is granted) that exceeds the limit
prescribed by Code section 422(d).

7.02.  Maximum SAR Period. The maximum period in which an SAR may be exercised
shall be ten years from the date such SAR was granted. The terms of any SAR may
provide that it has a term that is less than such maximum period.

                                      -15-


<PAGE>

7.03.  Nontransferability. Except as provided in Section 7.04, each SAR granted
under this Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. In the event of any such transfer, a Corresponding SAR
and the related Option must be transferred to the same person or persons or
entity or entities. Except as provided in Section 7.04, during the lifetime of
the Participant to whom the SAR is granted, the SAR may be exercised only by the
Participant. No right or interest of a Participant in any SAR shall be liable
for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant.

7.04.  Transferable SARs. Section 7.03 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Agreement provides, an SAR, other than a Corresponding SAR that is related to an
incentive stock option, may be transferred by a Participant to the Participant's
children, grandchildren, spouse, one or more trusts for the benefit of such
family members or a partnership in which such family members are the only
partners, on such terms and conditions as may be permitted under Securities
Exchange Commission Rule 16b-3 as in effect from time to time. The holder of an
SAR transferred pursuant to this section shall be bound by the same terms and
conditions that governed the SAR during the period that it was held by the
Participant; provided, however, that such transferee may not transfer the SAR
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any
transfer of a Corresponding SAR (by the Participant or his transferee), the
Corresponding SAR and the related Option must be transferred to the same person
or person or entity or entities.

                                      -16-


<PAGE>

7.05.  Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable
Agreement, an SAR may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to
time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Administrator
shall determine; provided, however, that a Corresponding SAR that is related to
an incentive stock option may be exercised only to the extent that the related
Option is exercisable and only when the Fair Market Value exceeds the option
price of the related Option. An SAR granted under this Plan may be exercised
with respect to any number of whole shares less than the full number for which
the SAR could be exercised. A partial exercise of an SAR shall not affect the
right to exercise the SAR from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the
applicable Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the SAR.
The exercise of a Corresponding SAR shall result in the termination of the
related Option to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which the
SAR is exercised.

7.06.  Change in Control. Section 7.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, each
outstanding SAR shall be fully exercisable (in whole or in part at the
discretion of the holder) on and after a Control Change Date and during the
period (i) beginning on the first day after any tender offer or exchange offer
for shares of Common Stock (other than one made by the Company); provided that
shares are acquired pursuant to such offer and (ii) ending on the thirtieth day
following the expiration of such offer.

                                      -17-


<PAGE>

7.07.  Employee Status. If the terms of any SAR provide that it may be exercised
only during employment or within a specified period of time after termination of
employment, the Administrator may decide to what extent leaves of absence for
governmental or military service, illness, temporary disability or other reasons
shall not be deemed interruptions of continuous employment.

7.08.  Settlement. At the Administrator's discretion, the amount payable as a
result of the exercise of an SAR may be settled in cash, Common Stock, or a
combination of cash and Common Stock. No fractional share will be deliverable
upon the exercise of an SAR but a cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.

7.09.  Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall, as a result of receiving an
SAR, have any rights as a shareholder of the Company until the date that the SAR
is exercised and then only to the extent that the SAR is settled by the issuance
of Common Stock.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  STOCK AWARDS

8.01.  Award. In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the Administrator
will designate each individual to whom a Stock Award is to be made and will
specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each such award;
provided, however, that no Participant may receive Stock Awards in any calendar
year for more than 30,000 shares of Common Stock.

                                      -18-


<PAGE>

8.02.  Vesting. The Administrator, on the date of the award, may prescribe that
a Participant's rights in a Stock Award shall be forfeitable or otherwise
restricted for a period of time or subject to such conditions as may be set
forth in the Agreement.

8.03.  Performance Objectives. In accordance with Section 8.02, the
Administrator may prescribe that Stock Awards will become vested or transferable
or both based on objectives stated with respect to the Company's, a Related
Entity's or an operating unit's return on equity, earnings per share, total
earnings, earnings growth, return on assets, Fair Market Value, NIACC,
Efficiency Ratio, Total Shareholder Return or such other measures as may be
selected by the Administrator. If the Administrator, on the date of award,
prescribes that a Stock Award shall become nonforfeitable and transferable only
upon the attainment of performance objectives, the shares subject to such Stock
Award shall become nonforfeitable and transferable only to the extent that the
Administrator certifies that such objectives have been achieved.

8.04.  Employee Status. In the event that the terms of any Stock Award provide
that shares may become transferable and nonforfeitable thereunder only after
completion of a specified period of employment, the Administrator may decide in
each case to what extent leaves of absence for governmental or military service,
illness, temporary disability, or other reasons shall not be deemed
interruptions of continuous employment.

                                      -19-


<PAGE>

8.05.  Change in Control. Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04 to the contrary
notwithstanding, on and after a Control Change Date or the first day following a
tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than one made
by the Company), provided that shares are acquired pursuant to such offer, each
outstanding Stock Award shall be transferable and nonforfeitable as of the
Control Change Date or the first day following such offer.

8.06.  Shareholder Rights. Prior to their forfeiture (in accordance with the
applicable Agreement and while the shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to
the Stock Award may be forfeited or are nontransferable), a Participant will
have all rights of a shareholder with respect to a Stock Award, including the
right to receive dividends and vote the shares; provided, however, that during
such period (i) a Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange,
hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to
a Stock Award, (ii) the Company shall retain custody of the certificates
evidencing shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to a Stock Award, and (iii)
the Participant will deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank,
with respect to each Stock Award. The limitations set forth in the preceding
sentence shall not apply after the shares of Common Stock granted under the
Stock Award are transferable and are no longer forfeitable.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                            PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS

                                      -20-


<PAGE>

9.01.  Award. In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the Administrator
will designate each individual to whom an award of Performance Shares is to be
made and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each such
award; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
may be earned by a Participant under all Performance Share awards (whether
settled in Common Stock, cash or a combination of Common Stock and cash) granted
in a calendar year shall be the product of (i) 35,000 shares and (ii) the number
of years (twelve consecutive months) during which one or more performance
criteria is measured.

9.02.  Earning the Award. The Administrator, on the date of the grant of an
award, shall prescribe that the Performance Shares, or portion thereof, will be
earned, and the Participant will be entitled to receive payment pursuant to the
award of Performance Shares, only upon the satisfaction of performance
objectives and such other criteria as may be prescribed by the Administrator
during a performance measurement period of at least one year. The performance
objectives may be stated with respect to the Company's, a Related Entity's or an
operating unit's return on equity, earnings per share, total earnings, earnings
growth, return on assets, Fair Market Value, NIACC, Efficiency Ratio, Total
Shareholder Return or such other measures as may be selected by the
Administrator. No payments will be made with respect to Performance Shares
unless, and then only to the extent that, the Administrator certifies that such
objectives have been achieved.

                                      -21-


<PAGE>

9.03.  Payment. In the discretion of the Administrator, the amount payable when
an award of Performance Shares is earned may be settled in cash, by the issuance
of Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock. A fractional share
shall not be deliverable when an award of Performance Shares is earned, but a
cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.

9.04.  Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall, as a result of receiving an
award of Performance Shares, have any rights as a shareholder until and to the
extent that the award of Performance Shares is earned and settled by the
issuance of Common Stock. After an award of Performance Shares is earned, if
settled completely or partially in Common Stock, a Participant will have all the
rights of a shareholder with respect to such Common Stock.

9.05.  Nontransferability. Except as provided in Section 9.06, Performance
Shares granted under this Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. No right or interest of a Participant in any
Performance Shares shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or
liability of such Participant.

9.06.  Transferable Performance Shares. Section 9.05 to the contrary
notwithstanding, if the Agreement provides, an award of Performance Shares may
be transferred by a Participant to the Participant's children, grandchildren,
spouse, one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members or a
partnership in which such family members are the only partners, on such terms
and conditions as may be

                                      -22


<PAGE>

permitted under Securities Exchange Commission Rule 16b-3 as in effect from time
to time. The holder of Performance Shares transferred pursuant to this section
shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that governed the Performance
Shares during the period that they were held by the Participant; provided,
however that such transferee may not transfer Performance Shares except by will
or the laws of descent and distribution.


9.07.  Employee Status. In the event that the terms of any Performance Share
award provide that no payment will be made unless the Participant completes a
stated period of employment, the Administrator may decide to what extent leaves
of absence for government or military service, illness, temporary disability, or
other reasons shall not be deemed interruptions of continuous employment.

9.08.  Change In Control. Section 9.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, a pro
rata amount of each outstanding Performance Share award shall be earned and
settled in whole shares of Common Stock as of a Control Change Date that occurs
at least three months after the first day of the measurement period or on the
first day after a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock
(other than one made by the Company), provided that such day is at least three
months after the first day of the measurement period and provided further that
shares are acquired pursuant to such offer. Such Common Stock shall be
nonforfeitable and transferable. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable
under this Section 9.02 shall be determined by multiplying the target amount of
shares (as prescribed by the applicable Agreement),

                                      -23-


<PAGE>

by a fraction. The numerator shall be the number of days in the period beginning
on the date of the first day of the measurement period and ending on the Control
Change Date or the first day after the tender or exchange offer described in
this Section 9.03. The denominator is the number of days in the period, or the
longest of such periods, during which performance is measured under the
Performance Share award.


                                   ARTICLE X

                                INCENTIVE AWARDS

10.01.  Award. The Administrator shall designate Participants to whom Incentive
Awards are made. All Incentive Awards shall be finally determined exclusively by
the Administrator under the procedures established by the Administrator;
provided, however, that no Participant may receive an Incentive Award payment in
any calendar year that exceeds the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) 150% of the
Participant's annual base salary (prior to any salary reduction or deferral
elections) as of the date of grant of the Incentive Award.

10.02.  Terms and Conditions. The Administrator, at the time an Incentive Award
is made, shall specify the terms and conditions which govern the award. Such
terms and conditions shall prescribe that the Incentive Award shall be earned
only upon, and to the extent that, performance objectives are satisfied. The
performance objectives may be stated with respect to the Company's, a Related

measures as may be selected by the Administrator. Such terms and conditions also
may include other limitations on the payment of Incentive Awards including, by
way of example and not of limitation, requirements that the Participant complete
a specified period of employment with the Company or a Related Entity. The
Administrator, at the time an Incentive Award is made, shall also specify when
amounts shall be payable under the Incentive Award and whether amounts shall be
payable in the event of the Participant's death, Disability, or Retirement. No
payments will be made with respect to an Incentive Award unless, and then only
to the extent that, the Administrator certifies that the performance objectives
have been achieved.

10.03.  Nontransferability. Incentive Awards granted under this Plan shall be
nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and
then only to the extent that the Administrator specified, at the time the
Incentive Award was made, that amounts may be payable in the event of the
Participant's death. No right or interest of a Participant in an Incentive Award
shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such
Participant.

10.04.  Employee Status. If the terms of an Incentive Award provide that a
payment will be made thereunder only if the Participant completes a stated
period of employment, the Administrator may decide to what extent leaves of
absence for governmental or military service, illness, temporary disability or
other reasons shall not be deemed interruptions of continuous employment.

10.05.  Change in Control. Section 10.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, a pro
rata amount of each Incentive Award shall be earned as of a Control Change Date
that occurs at least three months after the first day of the measurement period
or on the first day after a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common
Stock (other than one made by the Company), provided that such day is at least
three months after the first day of the measurement period and provided further
that shares are acquired pursuant to such offer. The amount payable under this
Section 10.05 shall be determined by multiplying the target amount (as
prescribed by the applicable Agreement), by a fraction. The numerator shall be
the number of days in the period beginning on the first day of the measurement
period and ending on the Control Change Date or the first day after the tender
or exchange offer described in this Section 10.05. The denominator shall be the
number of days in the period, or the longest of such periods, during which
performance is measured under the Incentive Award.

10.06.  Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall, as a result of receiving an
Incentive Award, have any rights as a shareholder of the Company or any
Affiliate on account of such award.

                     ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK

        The maximum number of shares as to which Options, SARs, Performance
Shares and Stock Awards may be granted under this Plan, the terms of outstanding
Stock Awards, Options, Performance Shares, Incentive Awards, and SARs, and the
per individual limitations on the number of shares for which Options, SARs,
Performance Shares, and Stock Awards may be granted shall be adjusted as the
Committee shall determine to be equitably required in the event that (a) the
Company (i) effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups, subdivisions
or consolidations of shares or (ii) engages in a transaction to which Section
424 of the Code applies or (b) there occurs any other event which, in the
judgment of the Committee necessitates such action. Any determination made under
this Article XI by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

        The issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property,
or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights
or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations
of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
maximum number of shares as to which Options, SARs, Performance Shares and Stock
Awards may be granted, the per individual limitations on the number of shares
for which Options, SARs, Performance Shares and

                                      -27-


<PAGE>

Stock Awards may be granted or the terms of outstanding Stock Awards, Options,
Performance Shares, Incentive Awards or SARs.

        The Committee may make Stock Awards and may grant Options, SARs,
Performance Shares, and Incentive Awards in substitution for performance shares,
phantom shares, stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, or
similar awards held by an individual who becomes an employee of the Company or a
Related Entity in connection with a transaction described in the first paragraph
of this Article XI. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan (other than the
limitation of Section 5.02), the terms of such substituted Stock Awards or
Option, SAR, Performance Shares or Incentive Award grants shall be as the
Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate.

                            COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND
                         APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES

        No Option or SAR shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be issued,
no certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no payment
shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal
and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax
requirements), any listing agreement to which the Company is a party, and the
rules of all domestic stock exchanges on which the Company's shares may be
listed. The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as
to such compliance. Any share certificate issued to evidence Common Stock when a
Stock Award is granted, a Performance Share is settled or for which an Option or
SAR is exercised may bear such legends and statements as the Administrator may
deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
No Option or SAR shall be exercisable, no Stock Award or Performance Share shall
be granted, no Common Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares shall be
delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Company has
obtained such consent or approval as the Administrator may deem advisable from
regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.01.  Effect on Employment and Service. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its
operation, nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part
thereof), shall confer upon any individual any right to continue in the employ
or service of the Company or a Related Entity or in any way affect any right and
power of the Company or a Related Entity to terminate the employment or service
of any individual at any time with or without assigning a reason therefor.

13.02.  Unfunded Plan. The Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be
unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may
at any time be represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the
Company to any person with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based
solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to this
Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any
pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.

13.03.  Rules of Construction. Headings are given to the articles and sections
of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The reference to
any statute, regulation, or other provision of law shall be construed to refer
to any amendment to or successor of such provision of law.

13.04.  Tax Withholding. Each Participant shall be responsible for satisfying
any income and employment tax withholding obligation attributable to
participation in this

                                      -30-


<PAGE>

Plan.  In accordance with procedures established by the Administrator, a
Participant may surrender shares of Common Stock, or receive fewer shares of
Common Stock than otherwise would be issuable, in satisfaction of all or part of
that obligation.

13.05.  Limitation on Benefits.

        (a) Despite any other provision of this Plan, if KPMG Peat Marwick (the
"Accounting Firm") determines that receipt of benefits or payments under this
Plan would subject a Participant to tax under Code section 4999, it must
determine whether some amount of the benefits or payments would meet the
definition of a "Reduced Amount." If the Accounting Firm determines that there
is a Reduced Amount, the total benefits and payments must be reduced to such
Reduced Amount, but not below zero.

        (b) If the Accounting Firm determines that the benefits and payments
should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, the Company must promptly notify the
Participant of that determination, including a copy of the detailed calculations
by the Accounting Firm. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under
this section are binding upon the Company and the Participant.

        (c) It is the intention of the Company and the Participant to reduce the
benefits and payments under this Plan only if the aggregate Net After Tax
Receipts to the Participant would thereby be increased. As a result of the
uncertainty in the application of Code section 4999 at the time of the initial
determination by the Accounting Firm under this section, however, it is possible
that amounts will have been paid or distributed under the Plan to or for the
benefit of a Participant which should not

                                      -31-


<PAGE>

have been so paid or distributed ("Overpayment") or that additional amounts
which will not have been paid or distributed under the Plan to or for the
benefit of a Participant could have been so paid or distributed ("Underpayment")
- - in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount. If the
Accounting Firm, based either upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal
Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant which the Accounting Firm
believes has a high probability of success or controlling precedent or other
substantial authority, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such
Overpayment must be treated for all purposes as a loan ab initio to which
Participant must repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable
federal rate under Code section 7872(f)(2); provided, however, that no such loan
may be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by Participant to
the Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and payment would not either
reduce the amount on which Participant is subject to tax under Code section 1 or
4999 or generate a refund of such taxes. If the Accounting Firm, based upon
controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines that an
Underpayment has occurred, the Accounting Firm must promptly notify the
Administrator of the amount of the Underpayment.

        (d) For purposes of this section, (i) "Net After Tax Receipt" means the
Present Value of a payment or benefit under this Plan net of all taxes imposed
on Participant with respect thereto under Code sections 1 and 4999, determined
by applying the highest marginal rate under Code section 1 which applied to the

                                      -32-


<PAGE>

Participant's taxable income for the immediately preceding taxable year; (ii)
"Present Value" means the value determined in accordance with Code section
280G(d)(4); and (iii) "Reduced Amount" means the smallest aggregate amount of
all payments or benefit under this Plan which (a) is less than the sum of all
payments or benefit under this Plan and (b) results in aggregate Net After Tax
Receipts which are equal to or greater than the Net After Tax Receipts which
would result if the aggregate payments or benefit under this Plan were any other
amount less than the sum of all payments or benefit under this Plan.


                                  ARTICLE XIV

                                   AMENDMENT

        The Board may amend or terminate this Plan from time to time; provided,
however, that no amendment may become effective until shareholder approval is
obtained if (i) the amendment increases the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued under the Plan (other than an adjustment pursuant to
Article XI) or (ii) the amendment changes the class of individuals eligible to
become Participants. No amendment shall, without a Participant's consent,
adversely affect any rights of such Participant under any Stock Award,
Performance Share award, Option, SAR or Incentive Award outstanding at the time
such amendment is made.

                                DURATION OF PLAN

        No Stock Award, Performance Share award, Option, SAR or Incentive Award
may be granted under this Plan after February 27, 2007. Stock Awards,
Performance Share awards, Options, SARs and Incentive Awards granted before that
date shall remain valid in accordance with their terms.


                                  ARTICLE XVII

                             EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

        Options, SARs, Performance Shares and Incentive Awards may be granted
under this Plan upon its adoption by the Board, provided that no Option, SAR,
Performance Shares or Incentive Award granted on or after February 28, 1997,
shall be effective or exercisable unless this amended and restated Plan is
approved by a majority of the votes cast by the Company's shareholders, voting
either in person or by proxy, at a duly held shareholders' meeting at which a
quorum is present. Stock Awards may be granted under this amended and restated
Plan on or after February 28, 1997, upon the later of its adoption by the Board
or its approval by shareholders in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Compensation Committee Meeting--12/18/97
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Resolutions
(Committee Approval Only)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESOLVED, That, based on studies and recommendations of the Committee's outside
consultant, the Committee hereby approves the following amendments to the
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, effective December 17, 1997:

1.    The definition of Years of Service in Section 1.31 of the Plan is revised
      to read as follows:

         YEARS OF SERVICE means the total years of service as determined under
         the terms of the Retirement Plan for purposes of determining the
         Participant's vested or nonforfeitable interest in the Retirement Plan.
         For any Participant who is not in pay status as of December 17, 1997,
         Years of Service means two times the total years of service as
         determined under the terms of the Retirement Plan for purposes of
         determining the Participant's vested or nonforfeitable interest in the
         Retirement Plan plus five additional Years of Service for employment
         with any prior employer other than the Corporation or an Affiliate. In
         addition, Years of Service includes service with a successor
         corporation following a Change in Control to the extent that such
         service would be recognized for purposes of determining the
         Participant's vested or nonforfeitable interest in the Retirement Plan
         if such successor were the Corporation. In the event of a Change in
         Control, Years of Service shall also include two additional Years of
         Service if the Participant becomes entitled to payments under a
         severance agreement under the Crestar Financial Corporation Executive
         Severance Plan (the "Executive Severance Plan") that provides for a
         lump sum severance amount based on two times his base pay and bonus or
         three additional Years of Service if the Participant becomes entitled
         to payments under a severance agreement under the Executive Severance
         Plan that provides for a lump sum severance amount based on three times
         his base pay and bonus. To the extent approved by the Committee, Years
         of Service shall include additional service with a predecessor employer
         or entity acquired by the Corporation or an Affiliate. Except as
         provided in the second sentence of this Section 1.31, a period of
         service with the Corporation, an Affiliate, a predecessor employer or
         entity, a successor or any other period shall only be counted once in
         determining a Participant's Years of Service. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, a Participant's Years of Service shall not be less than the
         number of years determined in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit
         I to the Plan as approved by the Committee from time to time and in all
         events the total Years of Service credited to a Participant under this
         Section 1.31 and Exhibit I in excessof twenty Years of Service shall be
         disregarded.

2.       The definition of "Offset Amount" in Section 1.23 is amended by adding
         the following sentence to the end of that Section:


<PAGE>

         OFFSET AMOUNT shall also include for any Participant who is credited
         under Section 1.31 with five Years of Service for service with a prior
         employer or for any other service with an employer other than the
         Corporation or an Affiliate, the sum of the annual benefits, if any,
         payable to or on behalf of that Participant for his lifetime under any
         qualified or nonqualified defined benefit plan of a prior employer and
         assuming a benefit commencement date as of the date that benefits are
         scheduled to commence under Article III or IV.




- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       AMENDMENT TO DIRECTORS' EQUITY PLAN

o  The amendment and resolution below permits Karen Williams and Gordon Rainey
   to participate in the Directors' Equity Plan

o  Previously, their firms required that stock payments could not be made to
   them directly. Such is no longer the case.

o  The plan must be revised to allow this change.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                         CRESTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                           BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
                               September 26, 1997

RESOLUTION AMENDING THE DEFINITION OF A DIRECTOR UNDER THE DIRECTORS' EQUITY
PROGRAM TO MEAN A DULY ELECTED OR APPOINTED MEMBER OF THE BOARD WHO IS NOT AN
EMPLOYEE OF THE COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE OR SUBSIDIARY OF THE COMPANY, EXCLUDING
ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD WHO IS REQUIRED TO TRANSFER, ASSIGN OR PAY HIS OR HER
BENEFITS UNDER THE PLAN TO THE MEMBER'S EMPLOYER OR FIRM.

         BE IT RESOLVED, that Karen Hastie Williams and Gordon F. Rainey, Jr.,
         duly elected directors of Crestar Financial Corporation, are hereby
         designated as active, eligible participants of the Directors' Equity
         Plan and, as such, are eligible to receive benefits under the Plan.



- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  EXPLANATION
                                  -----------

o  Gordon Rainey and Karen Hastie-Williams are two directors who currently are
   required to transfer retainer fees to their respective law firms, Hunton &
   Williams and Crowell & Moring per firm policy.

o  Both firms have recently revised their policies to distinguish forms of
   director compensation between retainer fees and director benefits, therefore
   now permitting Mr. Rainey and Ms. Williams to receive directors' benefits
   even though their retainer fees must be transferred to their firms.

Schedule RC-R--Regulatory Capital

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows:  Banks that
reported total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC, item 12,
for June 30, 1996, must complete items 2 through 9 and Memoranda items
1 and 2.  Banks with assets of less than $1 billion must complete
items 1 through 3 below or  Schedule RC-R in its entirety, depending on
their response to item 1 below.

1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed.
To be completed only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion.                                     C480
Indicate in the appropriate box at the right whether the bank has total capital                              Yes    No
greater than or equal to eight percent of adjusted total assets.                                   RCFD 6056               1.

</TABLE>

    For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets
    less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government agency obligations, and 80
    percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the
    allowance for loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet
    items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).

    If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete
    items 2 and 3 below.  If the box marked NO has been checked, the bank must
    complete the remainder of this schedule.

    A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual
    risk-based capital ratio is less than eight percent or that the bank is not
    in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

    NOTE: All banks are required to complete items 2 and 3 below. See optional
    worksheet for items 3.a through 3.f.

Optional Narrative Statement Concerning the Amounts Reported in the Reports of

Legal Title of Bank                             City            State

The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief
narrative statement on the amounts reported in the Reports of
Condition and Income.  This optional statement will be made available
to the public, along with the publicly available data in the Reports
of Condition and Income, in response to any request for individual
bank report data.  However, the information reported in column A and
in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule RC-N is regarded as
confidential and will not be released to the public.  BANKS CHOOSING
TO SUBMIT THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT
DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NAMES OR OTHER IDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK
CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL
ITEMS IN SCHEDULE RC-N, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT
WILLING TO  HAVE MADE PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF
THEIR CUSTOMERS.  Banks choosing not to make a statement may check the
"No comment" box below and should make no entries of any kind in the
space provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO NOT enter in this
space such phrases as "No statement," "Not applicable," "N/A," "No
comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet.  The statement
should not exceed 100 words.  Further, regardless of the number of
words, the statement must not exceed 750 characters, including
punctuation, indentation, and standard spacing between words and
sentences.  If any submission should exceed 750 characters, as
defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no notice to the
submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the bank's
statement both on agency computerized records and in computer-file
releases to the public.

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must
be accurate and not misleading.  Appropriate efforts shall be taken by
the submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy.  The statement
must be signed, in the space provided below, by a senior officer of
the bank who thereby attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are
submitted for the data reported in the Reports of Condition and
Income, the existing narrative statement will be deleted from the
files, and from disclosure; the bank, at its option, may replace it
with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in
release to the public exactly as submitted (or amended as described in
the preceding paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the
truncation of statements exceeding the 750-character limit described
above).  THE STATEMENT WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY
THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE.  DISCLOSURE OF THE
STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY
HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED
THEREIN.  A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY PUBLIC RELEASE
OF THE OPTIONAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE REPORTING
BANK.

The following information is required by Public Laws 90-44 and 102-
242, but does not constitute a part of the Report of Condition.  With
each Report of Condition, these Laws require all banks to furnish a
report of all loans or other extensions of credit to their executive
officers made since the date of the previous Report of Condition.
Data regarding individual loans or other extensions of credit are not
required.  If no such loans or other extensions of credit were made
during the period, insert "none" against subitem (a).  (Exclude the
first $15,000 of indebtedness of each executive officer under bank
credit card plan.)  See Sections 215.2 and 215.3 of Title 12 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (Federal Reserve Board Regulation O) for
the definitions of "executive officer" and "extension of credit,"
respectively.  Exclude loans and other extensions of credit to
directors and principal shareholders who are not executive officers.
