ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997, the statement of
consolidated income, the statement of consolidated cash flow and the
statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited and do not
include all of the information included in the Company's annual financial
statements filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 which is the
source of the Company's balance sheet as of that date.

ACCOUNTING CHANGE
- ------------------------------------
Change in Accounting Principles
- ----------------------------------------------

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" in June, 1997. SFAS 130 establishes standards
for reporting and display of "comprehensive income", as defined, and its
components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.

     Also in June, 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131),
"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
This Statement requires that public business enterprises report certain
information about operating segments, products and services, the
geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers.

							3


     Both of these Statements of Financial Accounting Standards are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. As stated
elsewhere in this report that the Company has entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger with Wachovia, under which the Company will be
merged with and into Wachovia. Subject to regulatory and shareholders'
approval, the merger will be consummated prior to the end of 1997. In
such event implementation of the aforementioned Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards by the Company will not occur.

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 six months ended June 30, 1997 was $61.6
million, 8.4% higher than the $56.8 million earned in the first six months of
1996. On a per share basis, net income increased 11.6% to $1.06 from
$.95.

     On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was $202.8 million, an 8.6% increase from the net interest
income earned in the corresponding 1996 period.  The net interest margin
was 4.16% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, up 36 basis points
from 3.80% during the same period in 1996. The growth in net interest
income and net interest margin during the first six months of 1997 were
the result of the higher yield on earning assets and a reduced cost of
interest-bearing liabilities. For the first six months of 1997, average
earning assets declined $67.2 million and interest earned on earning
assets increased $6.0 million from the level recorded in the first six
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 six months of 1997. The yield on
average earning assets increased 20 basis points. The average
interest-bearing liabilities declined $184.8 million, or 2.2% from the six
months ended June 30, 1996. Interest expense on interest-bearing
liabilities declined $10.0 million to $199.2 million, or 4.8%, from the
corresponding 1996 period, and the rate of interest-bearing liabilities
declined 12 basis points.

							17

     For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company's interest
rate swap activities resulted in declines in interest income of $409,000
and interest expense of $901,000 compared to declines of $1,020,000 in
interest income and $616,000 in interest expense for the corresponding
period in 1996. The Company's interest rate swap activities produced an
increase in net interest income of $492,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and reduction in net interest income of $404,000 for the same
period in 1996.

     The provision for loan losses was $27.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 compared with $21.0 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 six 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 $49.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997 compared with $41.6 million for the same period in 1996,
representing an increase of 19.7%. The increase resulted from growth in
deposit fees and other charges, increases in mutual funds and annuity
sales as well as increased ATM charges.

     Noninterest expense grew 8.2% to $130.4 million for the first six 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 June 30, 1997 were $10.7 billion, a modest increase
from $10.5 billion at the end of 1996. Total loans at June 30, 1997 were
$6.9 billion, an increase of 3.3% from the balance at December 31, 1996,
as a result of the increase in the commercial and consumer mortgage
loan portfolios. Total deposits were $8.1 billion at June 30, 1997, flat from
the level of total deposits at Decmber 31, 1996. At June 30, 1997,
long-term debt increased $99.1 million to $249.4 million, as a result of the
issuance of $100 million of Trust Preferred Stock . The Trust Preferred
Stock was sold in an institutional private placement through Central
Fidelity Trust I, a statutory business trust. Shareholders' equity at June 30,
1997 was $803.6 million, or 7.5% 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 declined from $14.26 at December 31, 1996 to $14.17 at June
30, 1997, this decline was also due to the acquisition and retirement of
shares under the Company's Stock Repurchase Program.

							18


     The return on average total assets during the first six months of 1997
was 1.19% compared to 1.09% for the comparable 1996 period. The return
on average shareholders' equity was 15.09% versus 13.95% in 1996.

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

     Nonperforming assets as of June 30, 1997 were $57.6 million, or .54%
of total assets, compared to $54.0 million or .51% of total assets at
December 31, 1996 and $60.9 million or .58% of total assets at June 30,
1996. At June 30, 1997, nonperforming assets were .83% of loans and
foreclosed properties, compared to .80% at December 31, 1996 and
 .94% at June 30, 1996. 

     The allowance for loan losses was $110.0 million at June 30, 1997,
December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1997, the allowance for
loan losses was 1.59% of loans, compared to 1.64% at December 31,
1996 and 1.70% at June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1997, the allowance for loan
losses was 1.91x to nonperforming assets, compared to 2.04x at
December 31, 1996 and 1.81x at June 30, 1996. Net loan charge-offs for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $13.3 million, representing
 .78% 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 $10.6 million or .66% of average loans for the
three months ended June 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 additional 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 June 30, 1997, the Company's risk-based capital and leverage
ratios exceeded the Federal Reserve's minimum guidelines. At June 30,
1997, the Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital were $837.5
million and $1.1 billion, as compared to $778.2 million and $1.0 billion at
December 31, 1996, and $756.7 million and $1.0 billion at June 30, 1996,
respectively. The ratios of Tier 1 and total risk-based capital to 
risk-weighted assets were 10.51% and 13.65% at June 30, 1997,
compared to 10.09% and 13.29% at year-end 1996, and 9.95% and
13.18% at June 30, 1996, respectively. At June 30, 1997, the Company's
leverage ratio was 8.11%, compared to 7.57% at December 31, 1996 and
7.35% at June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1997, the Bank's total risk-based
capital and leverage ratios were 12.67 and 7.39%, respective

     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 six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased 
and retired 2,989,000 shares of its common stock for a total of
$83,554,000. 2,000,000 of these shares were acquired through an
accelerated stock repurchase program entered on May 1, 1997 for an
initial amount of  $55,810,000. Final settlement on this transaction is
expected to occur in the third quarter of 1997.

     On June 24, 1997, the Company announced that it had terminated its
Stock Repurchase Program to repurchase its Common Stock.

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. 

							20


     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 shares of Wachovia's common stock
for each share of common stock of Central Fidelity. In addition, the
Company entered into a stock option agreement granting Wachovia the
option to purchase approximately 19.9% of the Company's outstanding
shares of common stock under certain circumstances.

							21


     In addition, 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.
