     ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

     This discussion is intended to provide information about the
Company's financial condition and results of operations which may not be
readily apparent from the consolidated financial statements and tables
included in this report. Reference should be made to those statements
and tables and other selected financial data presented elsewhere in this
report for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

Results of Operations
- -----------------------------

     Net income for the first nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$93.2 million, 13.8% higher than the $81.9 million earned in the first nine
months of 1996. On a per share basis, net income increased 18.2% to
$1.62 from $1.37.

     On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 was $306.7 million, an 8.4% increase from the
net interest income earned in the corresponding 1996 period.  The net
interest margin was 4.16% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, up 33 basis points from 3.83% during the same period in 1996. The
growth in net interest income and net interest margin during the first nine
months of 1997 were the result of the higher yield on earning assets and a
reduced cost of interest-bearing liabilities. For the first nine months of
1997, average earning assets declined $10.3 million and interest earned
on earning assets increased $13.8 million, or 2.3% from the level recorded
in the first nine months of 1996.  The decline in average earning assets
was due primarily to the lower levels in securities available for sale and
money market investments during the first nine months of 1997. The yield
on average earning assets increased 21 basis points. The average
interest-bearing liabilities declined $109.7 million, or 1.3% from the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. Interest expense on interest-bearing
liabilities declined $9.9 million to $301.9 million, or 3.2% from the
corresponding 1996 period. The rate of interest-bearing liabilities
declined 9 basis points.

     For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company's
interest rate swap activities resulted in declines in interest income of
$435,000 and interest expense of $1,327,000 compared to declines of
$1,468,000 in interest income and $1,054,000 in interest expense for the
corresponding period in 1996. The Company's interest rate swap
activities produced an increase in net interest income of $892,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and reduction in net interest
income of $414,000 for the same period in 1996.

     The provision for loan losses was $40.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 compared with $32.0 million recorded for the
corresponding period in 1996. The increase in the provision was
prompted by a higher level of net charge-offs. The higher levels of net
charge-offs for the first nine months of 1997 resulted principally from
continued losses in consumer portfolios and a $3.7 million nonrecurring
loss in the commercial loan portfolio.

     Noninterest income totaled $76.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared with $62.9 million for the same period in
1996, representing an increase of 21.2%. The increase resulted from
growth in deposit fees and other charges, profits on securities available
for sale and trading account securities, increases in mutual funds and
annuity sales as well as increased ATM charges.

     Noninterest expense grew 5.9% to $199.7 million for the first nine
months of 1997 compared with the same period in 1996. The growth in
noninterest expense was due primarily to higher personnel, occupancy
and equipment costs.

Balance Sheet
- --------------------

     Total assets as of September 30, 1997 were $10.5 billion, flat from the
level of total assets at the end of 1996. Total loans at September 30, 1997
were $7.0 billion, an increase of 4.1% from the balance at December 31,
1996, as a result of the increase in the commercial and consumer
mortgage loan portfolios. Total deposits were $7.8 billion at September
30, 1997, a 3.1% decline from $8.1 billion at December 31, 1996. At
September 30, 1997, long-term debt increased $99.1 million to $249.4
million.  In April 1997, Central Fidelity Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a
consolidated subsidiary, issued $100.0 million of Floating Rate Capital
Pass-through Securities (the "Capital Securities") which bear interest at
LIBOR plus 1.00% and are due in 2027. The Trust invested the proceeds
of the Capital Securities together with $3.1 million paid by the Company 
for the for the Trust's Common Securities in $103.1 million of the Company's 
Junior Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. The Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.00% and are due in 2027,
constitute the sole asset of the Trust. The Company has fully and 
unconditionally guaranteed all of the Trust's obligations under the Capital
Securities. Additionally, the Capital Securities qualify for inclusion in 
Tier 1 capital under the current risk-based capital guidelines. Shareholders'
equity at September 30, 1997 was $840.0 million, or 8.0% of total assets,
as compared to $846.5 million, or 8.0% of total assets, at December 31,
1996. The decline in shareholders' equity was due primarily to the
acquisition and retirement of shares under the Company's Stock
Repurchase Program. Book value per share increased from $14.26 at
December 31, 1996 to $14.68 at September 30, 1997, representing an 
increase of 2.9%.

     The return on average total assets during the first nine months of 1997
was 1.20% compared to 1.05% for the comparable 1996 period. The
return on average shareholders' equity was 15.18% versus 13.44% in
1996.

Asset Quality
- -----------------

     Nonperforming assets as of September 30, 1997 were $54.4 million, or
 .52% of total assets, compared to $54.0 million or .51% of total assets at
December 31, 1996 and $57.7 million or .55% of total assets at
September 30, 1996. At September 30, 1997, nonperforming assets were
 .78% of loans and foreclosed properties, compared to .80% at December
31, 1996 and .87% at September 30, 1996. 

     The allowance for loan losses was $110.0 million at September 30,
1997, December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996. At September 30,
1997, the allowance for loan losses was 1.57% of loans, compared to
1.64% at December 31, 1996 and 1.66% at September 30, 1996. At
September 30, 1997, the allowance for loan losses was 2.02x to
nonperforming assets, compared to 2.04x at December 31, 1996 and
1.90x at September 30, 1996. Net loan charge-offs for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 were $12.4 million, representing .71% of
average loans on an annualized basis. Net loan charge-offs were $11.9
million or .71% of average loans for the three months ended December
31, 1996 and $11.1 million or .68% of average loans for the three months
ended September 30, 1996.

     The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of
an amount adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan
portfolio. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management
relies predominately on its ongoing review of the lending process and the
risk characteristics of the portfolio in the aggregate. Among other factors,
management considers the Company's loan loss experience, the amount
of past-due and nonperforming loans, current and anticipated economic
conditions, and the estimated current values of collateral securing loans
in assessing the level of the allowance for loan losses.

     While it is the Company's policy to charge off in the current period
loans for which a loss is considered probable, there are addition risks
of future losses which cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to
particular loans or classes of loans. Because these risks include the
state of the economy as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers,
management's judgment of the allowance is necessarily approximate
and imprecise. It is also subject to regulatory examinations and
determinations as to its adequacy.

Capital Resources
- -------------------------

     At September 30, 1997, the Company's risk-based capital and
leverage ratios exceeded the Federal Reserve's minimum guidelines. At
September 30, 1997, the Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital
were $870.7 million and $1.1 billion, as compared to $778.2 million and
$1.0 billion at December 31, 1996, and $756.9 million and $1.0 billion at
September 30, 1996, respectively. The ratios of Tier 1 and total
risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets were 10.92% and 14.05% at
September 30, 1997, compared to 10.09% and 13.29% at year-end 1996,
and 9.86% and 13.07% at September 30, 1996, respectively. At
September 30, 1997, the Company's leverage ratio was 8.37%,
compared to 7.57% at December 31, 1996 and 7.38% at September 30,
1996. At September 30, 1997, the Bank's total risk-based capital and
leverage ratios were 12.95 and 7.52%, respectively.

     Based upon the risk-based capital and leverage requirements,
Central Fidelity's capital structure places it well above the Federal
Reserve Board's minimum guidelines and in the well capitalized
category when measured against FDIC criteria. The Company will
continue to review and monitor the asset mix and pricing, and other areas
determined to be most affected by these capital requirements.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company
purchased and retired 2,989,000 shares of its common stock under a
Stock Repurchase Program that was terminated on June 24, 1997. The
aggregate payment during the period for such shares amounted to
$83,554,000 . Of the 2,989,000 shares purchased during the period,
2,000,000 shares were acquired under an accelerated stock repurchase
program entered into on May 1, 1997 for a preliminary payment of
$55,810,000 subject to final settlement. The final settlement on the
accelerated repurchase was made on October 21, 1997 for  an additional
payment of $26,668,000.

Off-Balance-Sheet Derivatives 
- ------------------------------------------

     In the context of its asset/liability management, the Company is a
limited end-user of off-balance-sheet financial derivatives as a
cost-efficient vehicle for managing interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate
swaps have been the main derivative instrument used to modify the
repricing characteristics of various balance sheet assets and liabilities.
The interest rate swaps entered into by the Company are essentially
commitments to participate in cash settlements with a counterparty at
various future dates as agreed to in the swap contract.  These cash
settlements result from movements in interest rates and are based on
differences in specific rate indexes as applied to the notional principal
amount of the contract. 

     Market values of derivatives transactions fluctuate based upon
movements in the underlying financial indices such as interest rates.
Market values are monitored on a monthly basis through external pricing
mechanisms and then tested by using internal calculations.  The
Company's objective measurement system together with risk limits and
timely reporting to senior management help to mitigate the possibility of
any gain or loss recognition on the Company's interest rate swaps. Any
change in market value fluctuation generally corresponds to market
fluctuation in the underlying asset or liability being hedged. In the event
that a derivative product is terminated prior to its contractual maturity, 
it is the Company's policy to recognize the resulting gain or loss over the
remaining life of the underlying hedged asset or liability.

     Financial derivatives may expose the Company to credit risk to the
extent of the fair value gain of an instrument should the counterparty
default on its obligation to perform.  The Company seeks to reduce credit
risk by dealing only with highly rated counterparties and by setting
exposure limits based on independent industry ratings from the major
rating agencies and other relevant criteria.  Furthermore, the Company
uses bilateral netting agreements and collateral arrangements to reduce
credit risk.  Collateral is delivered by either party when the fair value 
of the transaction exceeds established thresholds of credit risk.

     The Company has also entered into a limited number of interest rate
swap agreements to accommodate the needs of commercial customers.
In order to offset the interest rate risk of customer swaps, the Company
has executed offsetting transactions with third parties.  

     The Company intends to continue using off-balance-sheet financial
derivatives as a limited end-user in the prudent management of interest
rate sensitivity.         

Recent Developments
- ------------------------------

     On June 23, 1997, Central Fidelity entered into a definitive Agreement
and Plan of Merger with Wachovia Corporation ("Wachovia"), providing
for the merger, of Central Fidelity with, and into, Wachovia. Wachovia is
the 20th largest banking company in the United States based on total
assets with dual headquarters in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and
Atlanta, Georgia. The agreement has been approved by the boards of
directors of both companies and is subject to the approval of the
shareholders of the Company and appropriate regulatory agencies. The
merger is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests and will
result in a tax-free exchange of .63 of a share of Wachovia's common stock
stock for each share of common stock of Central Fidelity. In addition, the
Company entered into a Stock Option Agreement dated June 24, 1997,
granting Wachovia the option to purchase approximately 19.9% of the
Company's outstanding shares of common stock under certain
circumstances.

     On June 10, 1997, Wachovia announced that it had reached 
a definitive agreement to merge with Jefferson Bankshares, Inc., a 
Virginia corporation, headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, which
operates principally in the Charlottesville, Tidewater, Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Shenandoah Valley markets of Virginia. The
merger of Jefferson Bankshares, Inc. with and into Wachovia was
closed as of October 31, 1997.
