ANNUAL REPORT
IS DEDICATED

EMPLOYEES.

Continuing a pattern of consistent growth and strong financial
performance, One Valley Bancorp recorded its eighteenth consecutive year of
increased net income and dividends in 1999, combined with its thirteenth
consecutive year of record earnings per share. We are pleased to be one of the
few banking companies among the 100 largest in the nation that has had such a
record of uninterrupted profitability.
Importantly, One Valley's history of year-after-year record performance
has not come at the expense of sacrificing balance-sheet quality. We continue to
emphasize the sound financial fundamentals of profitability, asset quality,
operational efficiency, capital adequacy, liquidity and balanced management of
interest rate risk. While achieving this level of performance, One Valley also
reached record levels in assets, loans, and deposits in 1999.
For the year, One Valley earned a record $80.8 million, representing a
10.7% increase over the $73.0 million earned in 1998. Fully diluted net income
per share increased 10.2% to $2.37 from the $2.15 earned the previous year.
Return on average equity for 1999 improved to 14.15%, up from the 13.08%
reported in 1998, while return on average assets remained consistent at 1.30%
compared to 1.29% the prior year. Average shareholders' equity grew 2.3% to
$571.0 million resulting in a strong capital ratio as the equity to average
assets ratio was 9.18%. Cash dividends per share increased 11.1% to a record
$1.00 in 1999.
Growth in net income was generated by a 6.6% increase in net interest
income and a 15.2% increase in non-interest income. Strong loan volume was the
major factor in the growth in net interest income. The growth in non-interest
income was fueled by trust and investment income,
[List of Employee Names]

[List of Employee Names]
insurance revenues and other fees. Real estate loan fees returned to a more
normal level in 1999, after an unusually high level of mortgage refinancing in
1998. Despite continued growth in assets during 1999, One Valley diligently
maintained control of operating expenses resulting in improved operational
efficiency ratios, as the efficiency and net overhead ratios declined to 55.7%
and 1.82%, respectively.
One Valley's strong tradition of sound asset quality continued in 1999 as
net charge-offs declined to 0.17% of loans, and loans delinquent for 30 days or
more declined to only 1.00% of total loans, compared to 1.16% in the previous
year. While the non-performing assets ratio increased slightly to 0.27% of total
loans in 1999 compared to 0.24% in 1998, the loan loss reserve at year-end of
$54.2 million adequately covered the $11.6 million in non-performing assets by
466%. The asset quality ratios mentioned above are among the best in the
industry and were achieved while growing the loan-to-deposit ratio at year-end
from 86.5% in 1998 to 94.8% in 1999.
The "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section on pages 8 through 27
provides a comprehensive review of the financial condition and results of
operations of One Valley for 1999 and prior years, and should be read in its
entirety. Some of the financial highlights include:
o Net income grew at a 9.68% compound annual growth rate over the last five
years, while fully diluted earnings per share grew at a 9.15% rate during the
same period.
o Return on average assets averaged 1.30% over the past five years, while
return on equity averaged 13.08% over the same time frame.
o Average loans grew 10.91% per year while deposits grew 6.84% per year during
the last five years.

o Equity has grown at a 9.67% compound annual rate over the last five years
producing a strong average equity to assets ratio of 9.18% during this period.
o One Valley's consistent profitability has benefited its owners as dividends
per share have grown at a 10.76% compound annual rate for the five-year period
ending December 31, 1999.
Other highlights during 1999 were as follows:
o US Banker magazine ranked One Valley as the 10th best performing bank of the
100 largest banks in the nation based upon a composite of profitability, asset
quality, operating efficiency and capital adequacy. One Valley's tenth place
national ranking is in sharp contrast to its asset size, which ranks 73rd in
the country. This was the fourth consecutive year that One Valley has been
ranked in the top 15. During the same four-year period our assets grew by 54
percent.
o For the third year in a row, One Valley was named to Keefe Bruyette and
Woods' "1999 Honor Roll" of banks that have continually reported increases in
earnings per share over the last decade. Of the 134 banking companies
currently in KBW's active research universe, only 10 have posted a 10-year
record that merits selection to the Honor Roll.
o Thanks to more than two years of deliberate, thoughtful planning on the part
of a great many One Valley employees, all of our banks made it smoothly
through the millennium weekend with virtually no Y2K problems.
o One Valley's trust revenue increased 19.6% in 1999, while service charges on
deposit accounts increased by 8.1%. Increased revenue from investment
brokerage and insurance products and services also contributed to this growth.

ONE VALLEY'S
STRONG TRADITION OF
SOUND ASSET
QUALITY CONTINUED
IN 1999.
- -------------------
o On January 7, 2000, One Valley acquired Carson Insurance Agency,
headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia and recognized as one of the
leading agencies in the United States. Founded in 1910, Carson is a full-
service insurance agency with gross revenues totaling $5.4 million in fiscal
1999 and was the largest privately owned insurance agency in West Virginia.
Late in 1999, Congress passed and President Clinton signed the most
significant federal legislation affecting banking and financial services since
the Depression. The Financial Services Modernization Act removes barriers to the
common ownership of different types of financial service providers. Under this
new law, financial holding companies can own insurance, securities and banking
firms. Customers' needs can be satisfied more readily with expanded product
offerings. Many archaic and cumbersome restrictions on banks' expansion into a
broader range of financial products have been eased or eliminated. Competition
will likely increase as new delivery channels become available. The Carson
Insurance Agency affiliation with One Valley is an example of financial services
companies joining together to offer a broader array of products to their
customers.
Internally, the Y2K effort put forth by a wide range of One Valley
employees has further enhanced communication, collaboration and coordination
among all of our staff. Y2K was the largest, longest and most laborious project
ever undertaken by our company. The thoroughness, perseverance and
professionalism displayed by our dedicated employees exemplify our vision of
working together to exceed our customers' expectations.

In accordance with the One Valley Board policy, two directors meet the
mandatory retirement age and will become Honorary Directors in 2000. The service
of these two gentlemen has been invaluable to our company and their experience
and business acumen will be truly missed in the coming years.
Lacy I. Rice, Jr. has served as Vice Chairman of One Valley since the
1994 affiliation of Mountaineer Bankshares. Lacy and his family have served the
economic and banking interests of Martinsburg and the eastern panhandle of West
Virginia with distinction for many years and his leadership will be missed.
Thomas D. Wilkerson has served on One Valley's Board and its predecessor
Kanawha Valley Bank since 1973. As the long time General Agent of Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company in Charleston, Tom brought invaluable insight to
the Board and the many committees he served on over the years. His advice and
counsel are irreplaceable.
On February 7, 2000, One Valley Bancorp, Inc. and BB&T Corporation
announced an agreement that will combine two of the country's highest performing
bank holding companies. This transaction, which the parties anticipate
completing in the third quarter of 2000, has an exchange ratio fixed at 1.28
BB&T shares for each One Valley share. Expected to be accounted for utilizing
the pooling-of-interests method, the transaction is subject to, among other
things, approval by regulatory authorities and the shareholders of One Valley.
The cultural compatibility of One Valley and BB&T is best exemplified in
the similarity of their mission statements. The mission statement of each
company is based upon constituencies of customers,
[List of Employee Names]

[List of Employee Names]
employees, owners and the communities they serve. This common focus on these
constituencies has contributed to the success of both companies; and, I believe
will continue to be the foundation for future success of the combined companies.
If the regulators and shareholders of One Valley approve the proposed
merger with BB&T, this will be the final Annual Report to One Valley
Shareholders. This 1999 Annual Report is dedicated to the thousands of employees
of One Valley Bancorp and its subsidiaries that have made One Valley what it is
today. More specifically, it is dedicated to the over 2,300 current employees of
One Valley who, operating in One Valley's value-based environment, have been
responsible for the recent growth and success of One Valley. It is through the
excellence of our employees that our customers, owners and the communities we
serve have benefited, and for that we are grateful.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion contains statements that refer to future
expectations, contain projections of the results of operations or of financial
condition, or state other information that is "forward-looking."
"Forward-looking" statements are easily identified by the use of words such as
"could," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," and similar words that refer to a
future outlook. There is always a degree of uncertainty associated with
"forward-looking" statements. One Valley management believes that the
expectations reflected in such statements are based upon reasonable assumptions
and on the facts and circumstances existing at the time of these disclosures.
Actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated.
Many factors could cause One Valley's actual results to differ materially
from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Some factors,
which could negatively affect the results, include:
(1) general economic conditions, either nationally or within One Valley's
markets, could be less favorable than expected;
(2) changes in market interest rates could affect interest margins and
profitability;
(3) competitive pressures could be greater than anticipated;
(4) legal or accounting changes could affect One Valley's results;
(5) acquisition cost savings may not be realized or the anticipated income
may not be achieved; and
(6) adverse changes could occur in the securities and investments markets.
In Management's Discussion and Analysis we review and explain the general
financial condition and the results of operations for One Valley Bancorp, Inc.
and its subsidiaries. The discussion is designed to assist you in understanding
the significant changes in One Valley's financial condition and results of
operations. Generally accepted accounting principles have been used to prepare
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Included is an independent
audit report from Ernst & Young LLP, who were engaged to audit the consolidated
financial statements.
INTRODUCTION
One Valley Bancorp, Inc. is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in
Charleston, West Virginia. It operates nine bank subsidiaries ranging in size
from $220 million to $2.3 billion in assets. Through these banks, One Valley
serves 81 communities with a full range of banking services in 123 locations
conveniently located throughout West Virginia and Virginia. At December 31,
1999, One Valley had $6.6 billion in total assets, $4.4 billion in total loans,
and $4.6 billion in total deposits.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 6, 2000, One Valley and BB&T Corporation executed an Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization providing for the merger of BB&T and One Valley, with
BB&T surviving the merger and thereby acquiring One Valley's bank and non-bank
subsidiaries. One Valley shareholders will receive 1.28 shares of BB&T stock in
exchange for each share of One Valley. Expected to be accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting, the transaction is subject to, among
other things, approval by regulatory authorities and the shareholders of One
Valley. The parties presently contemplate closing the acquisition early in the
third quarter of 2000.
In December 1999, One Valley Bancorp entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire Carson Insurance Agency, Inc. On January 7, 2000, the transaction closed
and Carson Insurance Agency, Inc. become a wholly owned subsidiary of One Valley
Bank, N.A., the Charleston based affiliate of One Valley. Carson is a
full-service insurance agency founded in 1910 with annual revenues of
approximately $5.4 million. The acquisition includes Carson's two subsidiary
agencies, Patterson, Bell & Crane Company in Charleston, West Virginia and
Nicholas County Insurance Agency in Summersville, West Virginia. The acquisition
provides individual and business customers of both Carson and One Valley access
to a greater range of financial service solutions.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS
One Valley earned $80.8 million in 1999, a 10.7% increase over the $73.0
million earned in 1998. This follows a 14.5% increase in 1998 over the $63.8
million earned in 1997. Table 1, Summary Statement of Net Income, presents three
years of comparative income and expense information. As shown in Table 1, the
increase in net income is primarily due to increased net interest income and
non-interest income, which more than offsets the increase in operating costs.
The February 1998 purchase of fifteen branches from Wachovia Corporation and the
August 1998 acquisition of Summit Bankshares, Inc. (Summit) are included only
from the dates of acquisition.
Diluted earnings per share were $2.37 in 1999, an increase of 10.2% over the
$2.15 earned in 1998, which compares with the 10.3% increase over the $1.95
earned in 1997. As shown in Table 2, Six-Year Selected Financial Summary, the
average annual growth rate in diluted earnings per share over the past six years
(compound growth rate) has been 9.2%.
Table 2, Six-Year Selected Financial Summary, reflects summary financial
data for the past six years, 1994 through 1999, along with a five-year compound
growth rate. This table depicts the expansion of One Valley due to its growth in
banking operations and its acquisition activity. Noteworthy are the growth rates
in equity, net loans, non-interest income, net income and cash dividends. A key
strength of One Valley is our solid capital base as exemplified by the strong
average equity-to-average assets ratio for the past six years as shown in Table
2. This is a result of record earnings performances and a sound acquisition
strategy.
Table 3 compares two basic measures of earnings performance, ROA and ROE,
over the previous five years. Return on Average Assets (ROA) measures how
effectively One Valley utilizes its assets to produce net income. One Valley's
1999 ROA of 1.30% was up slightly from the 1.29% ROA reported in both 1998 and
1997. As illustrated in Table 3, One Valley's ROA has changed little over the
past five years, although the income components of ROA have changed.

One Valley's net credit income (net interest income less the provision for
loan losses) as a percentage of average earning assets has declined over the
past four years. This decline is due to two factors. First, a low interest rate
environment tends to decrease the yield on earning assets (assets such as loans
and investment securities on which One Valley earns interest or dividend
income). Secondly, the increase in the competition for funds tends to prevent
the cost of funding earning assets from declining as quickly as asset yields.
One Valley however, has been able to offset the decline in net credit income by
increasing non-interest income and reducing operating costs (as a percentage of
average earning assets).
Non-interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets has declined
on a year-to-year basis from 1995 through 1999. This consistency is the result
of increased operational efficiency and an annual increase in average earning
assets. During 1997 and 1998, non-interest income as a percent of average
earning assets increased rather significantly as a result of fee increases and
fee income from new products and services. As a result, One Valley's net
overhead ratio (the amount that operating expenses

exceed other operating income as a percentage of average earning assets) has
steadily declined to 1.82% in 1999, an improvement from 1.95% in 1998, and 2.08%
in 1997. This positive trend in the net overhead ratio has offset the decline in
net credit income.
Return on average equity (ROE), another measure of earnings performance,
indicates the amount of net income earned in relation to the total equity
capital invested. One Valley's 1999 ROE was 14.15%, up significantly from the
13.08% ROE in 1998 and 1997, primarily due to One Valley's strong earnings
performance and the purchase of $59 million in treasury stock during the first
half of 1999.
ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
Although no acquisitions occurred in 1999, One Valley's strategy in 1998
was to provide additional market diversification by targeting growth areas in
Virginia for expansion. This led to three acquisitions during that year.
At the close of business on February 19, 1998, One Valley purchased fifteen
branches from Wachovia Corporation, half of which were located in and around
Charlottesville, Virginia. The acquisition of these branches expanded One
Valley's presence into central and north-central Virginia. At the date of
purchase, these fifteen branches had total loans of $125 million, total deposits
of $283 million and cash equivalents of $112 million. One Valley's consolidated
results for 1998 include the operations of the fifteen branches only from the
date of purchase. Comparisons of average balances and income statement
categories are all affected by the branch purchase.
At the close of business on March 30, 1998, One Valley merged with FFVA
Financial Corporation (FFVA), a $604 million federal savings bank holding
company headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. The acquisition of FFVA expanded
One Valley's presence in Lynchburg and south-central Virginia, a growing market
for financial services. At the date of the acquisition, FFVA had total loans of
$319 million, investment securities of $211 million, and total deposits of $418
million. The combination was accounted for as a "pooling-of-interests." The
"pooling-of-interests" method of accounting presents financial information as
if the operations of One Valley and FFVA had always been combined.
At the close of business on August 7, 1998, One Valley acquired Summit
Bankshares, Inc., a $199 million bank holding company located in the Lexington,
Virginia market with $149 million in loans and $181 million in deposits. One
Valley's consolidated results for 1998 include the operations of Summit,
operating now as One Valley Bank - Shenandoah, only from the date of
acquisition.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Summary
Revenue for a financial institution is primarily generated by its earning
assets, those assets which earn interest or dividend income. Its major expenses
are produced by the funding of these assets with interest-bearing liabilities.
Effective management of these sources and uses of funds is essential to
maximizing profits while maintaining a minimum amount of interest rate and
credit risk. Information on rate-related sources and uses of funds for years
1997, 1998 and 1999 is provided in Table 4, Average Balance Sheet/Net Interest
Income Analysis.
In 1999 average earning assets, primarily loans, grew by 10.1% or $536.4
million over 1998, following a 13.9% or $645.1 million increase in 1998 over
1997. Average interest-bearing liabilities, the major source of funds supporting
earning assets, increased 11.3% or $510.6 million over 1998. This was due to a
6.4% increase in average deposits with the remainder from short- and long-term
borrowings. The 1999 increase follows a $530.9 million or 13.3% increase in 1998
over 1997. Approximately 45% of the asset increase and 75% of the liability
increase in 1998 was due to the purchase of the Wachovia branches and the
acquisition of Summit.

Additional information on each of the components of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities is contained in the following sections of this
report.
Loan Portfolio
One Valley's loan portfolio, the largest and most profitable component of
its average earning assets, totaled 71.0% of average earning assets during 1999.
Growth in the loan portfolio continued with an increase in average net loans of
$491.1 million or 13.5% in 1999. The increase in 1999 average loans was fueled
by balanced growth in commercial, consumer, and mortgage lending. The 1999
increase follows a 16.1% or $505.9 million increase in 1998. As a result of
these increases in loan activity, One Valley's loan-to-deposit ratio maintained
its upward trend in 1999, ending the year at 94.8%. This ratio compares to 86.5%
at December 31, 1998 and 82.8% at December 31, 1997. Internal growth, as well as
One Valley's carefully planned acquisition activity, has resulted in the
increase in the loan portfolio.
Total loans at December 31, 1999, increased by $400.5 million or 10.0% over
the December 31, 1998 total. This increase compares to a $688.6 million or 20.9%
increase in 1998 over total loans at December 31, 1997. The 1999 increase in
loans was the result of loan volume generated internally, not by acquisition.
All of One Valley's major loan classifications experienced growth in 1999, while
commercial lending showed the greatest percentage increase compared to last
year.
Table 5, Loan Summary, presents a five-year comparison of loans by type.
With the exception of those categories included in the comparison, there are no
loan concentrations that exceed 10% of total loans. Additionally, One Valley's
loan portfolio contains no loans to foreign borrowers nor does it have a
significant volume of highly leveraged transaction lending. Over the past four
years, total loans have increased $1.58 billion, a result of acquisitions and
internal growth. While loan growth has been substantial, One Valley imposes
underwriting and credit standards that are designed to maintain a quality loan
portfolio.
Loans secured by real estate, about 72% of One Valley's loan portfolio at
December 31, 1999, consist of a diverse mix of predominantly single family
residential loans and loans for commercial purposes where real estate is
collateral, but not viewed as the primary source of repayment. About 75% of
these loans are secured by property located within West Virginia where real
estate values have remained relatively stable. Most of the remaining 25% are
secured by property located in central Virginia where real estate values have
been increasing and are more volatile. Total residential real estate loans
increased by $145.7 million or 7.9% since year-end 1998. In addition, during
1999, $80 million of mortgage loans were securitized with a government agency
and retained in One Valley's investment portfolio.
Commercial real estate loans increased by $91.6 million or 14.8% in 1999,
following a $141.9 million or 29.8% increase in 1998 from year-end 1997.
Commercial real estate loans have historically averaged about one-sixth of the
total loan portfolio. This low concentration of such loans has limited One
Valley's exposure to swings in commercial real estate values and the potential
for related credit losses. Loans for commercial purposes not secured by real
estate increased in 1999 by $105.5 million or 22.5%.
One Valley also originates residential real estate loans to be sold in the
secondary market. In 1999, $97.1 million in loans were originated to be sold in
the secondary market. This figure compares to $261.2 million of new loans
originated for sale in the secondary market in 1998 and $111.8 million in 1997.
This activity generates considerable processing and servicing fee income for One
Valley, as discussed further in the "Income Statement Analysis" section of this
report. The number of loans originated for sale will increase if mortgage
interest rates decline and, conversely, will decrease if mortgage interest rates
rise. Due to a lower interest rate environment in 1998, a higher volume of
mortgages were originated as compared to 1999 and 1997.
In addition to the loans reported in Table 5, One Valley also offers certain
off-balance sheet products such as letters of credit, revolving credit
agreements, and other loan commitments. These products are offered under the
same credit standards as the loan portfolio and are

being accrued, foreclosed properties in the process of liquidation, and loans
with restructured terms to enable a delinquent borrower to repay, were $11.6
million or 0.27% of total loans at year-end 1999. This compares to $9.6 million
or 0.24% of total loans at year-end 1998. While levels of non-performing assets
can be affected by borrowers experiencing difficulty resulting from fluctuations
in the economy, One Valley diligently works to keep its level of non-performing
assets at a relatively low level, as demonstrated in Table 5. The amount of
loans contractually past due for over 90 days, but which continue to accrue
interest, decreased in 1999 to $5.0 million as compared with $7.5 million in
1998. At year-end, these loans constituted 0.11% of total loans, down from 0.19%
at year-end 1998 and 1997.
One Valley's commitment to a quality loan portfolio is evidenced by the
consistently favorable ratio of problem loans to total loans even while the size
of the loan portfolio has increased significantly over the last five years. The
increase in both the size and the credit quality of the loan portfolio has
enabled One Valley to increase its interest income from loans by $26.6 million
or 8.3% in 1999 and $38.2 million or 13.6% in 1998.
It is One Valley's policy to place loans that are past due for over 90 days
on non-accrual status, unless the loans are adequately secured and in the
process of collection. Upon repossession of a real estate loan, the balance of
the loan is transferred to "Other Real Estate Owned" (OREO). The value is
recorded at the lower of the outstanding loan balance or the fair market value
of the property, less costs to sell the property, based on current appraisals
and other market information. If a writedown of the OREO property is necessary
at the time of foreclosure, the amount of the reduction is charged against the
allowance for loan losses. A quarterly review of the recorded property value is
performed in conjunction with a continuous internal risk review process. If
market conditions indicate that the recorded value exceeds the fair market value
less costs to dispose, additional writedowns of the property value are charged
directly to operations.
One Valley had no commitments to provide additional funds on non-accrual
loans at December 1999. During 1999, One Valley recognized less than $0.4
million of interest on non-accrual loans, while approximately $0.8 million would
have been recognized on these loans if they had been current throughout 1999 in
accordance with their original terms. Similarly, during 1998, less than $0.2
million was recognized on non-accrual loans, while approximately $0.8 million
would have been recognized in accordance with their original terms.
A loan is categorized and reported as impaired when it is probable that the
borrower will be unable to pay the principal and interest amounts according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In determining whether a loan is
impaired, One Valley's management considers such factors as payment history,
recent economic events, current and probable financial condition and other
available information. Typically, this type of individual loan analysis occurs
with large commercial loans. Impaired loans are measured at the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest
rate or, as a practical measure, at the loan's observable market price or
realizable value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Additional information on impaired loans is contained in Note I to the
consolidated financial statements.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb losses inherent in the
loan portfolio as of December 31, 1999. Factors considered in determining the
adequacy of the allowance include an individual assessment of risk on large
commercial credits, historical charge-off experience, levels of non-performing
and impaired loans, and an evaluation of current economic conditions.

loan portfolios are separated for purposes of analysis in determining the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Specific loss estimates are derived
for individual credits where applicable, while estimated loss factors are
applied to pools of similar loans, within each category. Changes in loan
concentrations and quality are monitored and could result in adjustments to the
allowance during the period of review. The general allowance on graded loans,
those loans rated according to associated risk, is determined through a
combination of historical loss percentages, as well as inherent risk by grade.
Through careful monitoring of the loan portfolios by an internal risk review
process, differences between estimated and actual losses are reflected quarterly
in the analysis of loan loss category. As part of the holding company structure,
One Valley maintains credit analysis and loan review departments. One Valley
also maintains a loan administration function to continually identify and
monitor problem loans.
Management is mindful of the difficulty in being precise in any estimation
of credit losses used in analyzing loan loss adequacy. Changes in general
economic conditions, as well as specific economic factors in the individual
markets in which One Valley operates, present an inherent risk, which involves a
higher degree of uncertainty regarding the allowance. Accordingly, One Valley
has assigned

each major loan category a portion of the allowance to address the risk
associated with these factors.
Based on the analysis performed, it is One Valley's management's opinion
that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb the current risk of
probable loss in the existing loan portfolio. A summary of the allowance for
loan losses allocated by loan type is also included in Table 5. Table 6,
Comparative Loan Loss Information, provides a detailed history of the allowance
for loan losses, illustrating charge-offs and recoveries by loan type, and the
annual provision for loan losses over the past five years. At December 31, 1999,
the allowance for loan losses was $54.2 million or 1.23% of loans outstanding
compared to the December 31, 1998 level of $52.3 million or 1.31% of total
year-end loans.
The provision for loan losses in 1999 was $9.1 million, down from the $10.1
million in 1998, and up from the $7.5 million provision in 1997. During 1999,
additional financial information on most of the commercial borrowers in the loan
portfolios of institutions acquired in 1998 was obtained and the estimated
credit losses on a significant number of loans adjusted. The increase in 1998
was to provide for the sharp growth in the loan portfolios. While One Valley
experienced considerable loan growth during 1999, 1998, and 1997, the overall
credit quality of the portfolio has remained consistent over those years, as
evidenced by the low level of non-performing assets and the low level of net
charge-offs during those years.
One Valley's net charge-offs have remained consistently low over the past
five years, a reflection of One Valley's overall asset quality for those years.
Net charge-offs are the amount of uncollectible loans charged against the
allowance for loan losses, net of any proceeds recovered on loans previously
written off. Net charge-offs in 1999 increased $0.5 million to $7.2 million from
the $6.7 million net charged off in 1998. However, net-charge offs as a
percentage of average total loans declined to 0.17% in 1999, compared to 0.18%
in 1998 and 0.24% in 1997. In all three years, these ratios compare favorably
with those of peer group banks across the country. Although the dollar amount of
net charge-offs has remained historically low, charge-offs could increase in the
coming months due to the increase in the total dollar amount of loans, or
adverse changes in economic conditions.
Investment Portfolio and Other Earning Assets
Investment securities averaged $1,657.7 million in 1999, a $44.1 million or
2.7% increase over the $1,613.6 million averaged in 1998. This increase follows
a 9.9% increase in 1998 over the $1,467.9 million averaged in 1997. The 1999
increase was due to contingency funding plans made in April 1999 to address the
possible liquidity needs associated with customers' concerns with Y2K.
Borrowings totaling $200 million were made in April and simultaneously, $200
million in securities were purchased with maturities prior to December 31,

1999. If not for this contingency funding plan, securities would have declined
due to the deployment of more assets into loans. Nearly 80% of the increase in
1998 was the result of investments and funds available for investment obtained
through the Summit acquisition and the branch purchase.
As sources of funds (deposits, federal funds purchased, and repurchase
agreements with corporate customers) fluctuate, excess funds are initially
invested in federal funds sold to other banks and other short-term investments.
Based upon analyses of asset/liability repricing, interest rate forecasts, and
liquidity requirements, funds are periodically reinvested in high-quality debt
securities, which typically mature over a longer period of time. At the time of
purchase, management determines whether securities will be classified as
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.
As shown in Table 8, Securities Maturity and Yield Analysis, the average
maturity period of securities available-for-sale at December 31, 1999 was 7
years 5 months. Table 8 uses a final maturity method to report the average
maturity of mortgage-backed securities, which excludes the effect of monthly
payments and prepayments. Approximately 59% of the securities available-for-sale
at December 31, 1999 were U.S. Government Agency or Treasury securities that had
an average maturity of 5 years 1 month and 3 years 2 months respectively. The
average expected maturity period of securities held-to-maturity was 9 years 3
months at the end of 1999. The average expected maturity of the investment
portfolio is managed at a level to maintain proper matching with One Valley's
interest rate risk guidelines. One Valley does not have any securities held for
trading and it has no plans to establish such classification at the present
time. Other information regarding investment securities may be found in Table 8
and in Note G to the consolidated financial statements.
One Valley's average federal funds sold and other short-term investments
increased by 4.0% in 1999. This follows a decrease of 17.9% in 1998. Averaging
$31.1 million in 1999, federal funds sold and other expected short-term
investments increased $1.2 million from the $29.9 million averaged in 1998 as
compared to a decrease of $6.5 million from the $36.4 million averaged in 1997.
Fluctuations in federal funds sold and other short-term investments reflect
management's goal to maximize asset yields while maintaining proper asset/
liability structure, as discussed in greater detail above and in other sections
of this report.
Funding Sources
Despite an increase in market rates in late 1999, the general level in
market interest rates remained below the 1998 levels. As a result, the average
rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 4.17% in 1999, down from
the 4.40% average paid in 1998 and the 4.42% average rate paid in 1997. The cost
of deposit funds in 1999 also benefited from the lowering of rates paid on
certain core deposit products.
Due to alternative sources of investment and the increasing sophistication
of customers in managing their investments, competition for funds has become
more intense. Many customers have shifted balances from higher rate certificates
of deposit into indexed money market accounts that currently pay slightly lower
rates but have an adjustable rate feature. One Valley also offers periodic
special rate products to attract additional deposits.
On average, One Valley's deposits increased by 6.4% or $273.0 million in
1999. Slightly less than half of this increase was the result of the
acquisitions in 1998. Excluding this effect, One Valley's 1999 average
interest-bearing deposits increased by $114.0 million or 3.1%. The majority of
the 1999 increase in time and savings deposits resulted from growth in the
Valley Index Account, an insured deposit product paying an indexed money market
interest rate. One Valley's average non-interest-bearing deposits increased by
$45.3 million or 8.9% in 1999. In the past several years, One Valley has been
able to attract non-interest-bearing deposits by increasing customer service
and convenience through increased electronic banking services and locations. In
1998, One Valley's deposits, on average, increased 11.4% or $437.0 million. Of
this increase, $318.9 million resulted from the 1998 Wachovia branch purchase
and Summit acquisition.

To supplement its funding from deposit growth, One Valley has increasingly
utilized borrowed funds to fund loan growth. Short-term borrowings in 1999
increased, on average, by $19.1 million or 2.7%. One Valley's daily overnight
repurchase agreements, a collateralized cash management product offered to
commercial customers increased $51.9 million or 19.9% allowing for curtailments
of $32.8 million in other forms of short-term borrowings. In 1998, average
short-term borrowings increased by $204.0 million or 40.0% including a 12.9% or
$29.7 million increase in daily overnight repurchase agreements.
Long-term borrowings, on average, increased $263.8 million or 616.2% in 1999
following a $9.5 million or 18.2% decrease in 1998. Long-term borrowings have
increased by $506.3 million since December 31, 1998. Emphasis was placed on
long-term borrowings as part of an interest rate risk management strategy. In
addition, in April 1999, a total of $200.0 million was borrowed from the Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to provide adequate liquidity for anticipated customers'
year-end cash and liquidity needs related to Y2K concerns. The decrease in 1998
was due to scheduled repayments that occurred during the year. Other information
regarding short and long-term borrowings is contained in Note L to the
consolidated financial statements.
Interest Sensitivity and Liquidity
Asset /liability management is a means of optimizing net interest income
while minimizing interest rate risk by planning and controlling the mix and
maturities of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. This is
accomplished through the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts. The
expected result of this process is the development of appropriate maturity and
repricing opportunities in those accounts to produce consistent earnings during
changing interest rate environments.
Table 10 illustrates One Valley's rate-sensitive positions at December 31,
1999, and is not necessarily reflective of positions throughout the year. The
carrying amounts of interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and the
notional amounts of swaps and other derivative financial instruments are
presented in the periods in which they next reprice to market rates or mature
and are combined to show the interest rate sensitivity gap. To reflect
anticipated prepayments, certain asset and liability categories are included in
the table based on estimated rather than contractual maturity dates.
Management uses Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis ("Simulation") to
measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates.
Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that One Valley
has made with its customers for deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and any
commitments to enter into those transactions. Management monitors One
Valley's interest sensitivity by means of a computer model that incorporates
current volumes and rates, scheduled maturities and projected payments,
repricing opportunities and anticipated growth. The model projects earnings
based on current and projected portfolio balances and rates. This level of
detail is needed to effectively simulate the effect that changes in interest
rates and portfolio balances will have on the earnings of One Valley. This
method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process,
but it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes
in interest rates than do other analyses such as static and dynamic gap.

Table 11 represents the results of One Valley's interest sensitivity
simulation analysis as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. Key assumptions in the
preparation of the table include anticipated prepayment speeds on
mortgage-related assets; cash flows and maturities of derivative financial
instruments; changes in market conditions including interest rates, loan
volumes, and pricing; deposit sensitivity; customer preferences; and capital
plans. To attempt to quantify the potential change in net interest income, given
a change in interest rates, various interest rate scenarios are applied to
projected balances, maturities and repricing opportunities. The resulting change
in net interest income reflects the level of sensitivity that net interest
income has in relation to changing interest rates.
As of year-end 1999, a sharp increase in interest rates of 300 basis points
would have a negative impact on One Valley's net interest income in the year
2000. Modest changes in interest rates or an aggressive decrease in interest
rates would not have a material impact on net interest earnings. As of year-end
1998, One Valley's interest sensitivity

would have had a negative impact on net interest income while modest changes or
an aggressive increase in interest rates would not have had a material impact on
net interest earnings.
Liquidity represents a bank's continuing ability to meet its funding needs,
primarily deposit withdrawals, timely repayment of borrowings and other
liabilities and funding of loan commitments. In addition to its level of liquid
assets, many other factors affect a bank's ability to meet liquidity needs,
including access to a variety of funding sources, capital position and general
market conditions.
Traditional sources of liquidity include proceeds from maturities of
securities, repayment of loans and growth in core deposits. Federal funds
purchased, repurchase agreements, FHLB advances and other short-term borrowed
funds, as well as long-term debt instruments, supplement these traditional
sources. Management believes funds obtainable from these sources is adequate to
meet current liquidity requirements.
One Valley generated $125.9 million of cash from operations in 1999, which
compares to $67.6 million in 1998 and $74.8 million in 1997. Additional cash of
$560.5 million was generated through net financing activities in 1999, which
compares to $244.6 million in 1998 and $288.1 million in 1997. These proceeds,
along with proceeds from the sale and maturity of securities, were used to fund
loans and purchase securities during the year. Net cash used in investing
activities totaled $489.0 million in 1999, which compares to $253.3 million in
1998 and $380.9 million in 1997. Details on the sources and uses of cash can be
found in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the consolidated financial
statements that follow this discussion.
Capital Resources
One Valley's average equity-to-asset ratio was a strong 9.18% in 1999, down
slightly from the 9.88% during 1998, and the 9.86% in 1997. At year-end 1999,
One Valley's primary capital ratio was 9.23% compared to 10.77% at year-end
1998. The Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratio
measure the capital adequacy of banking institutions. The risk-based capital
guidelines weight balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet commitments by
credit risk factors, thus eliminating disincentives for holding low-risk assets
and requiring more capital for holding higher risk assets. At year-end 1999, One
Valley's risk-adjusted capital-to-assets ratio was 14.0% compared to 15.6% at
December 31, 1998. Both of these ratios are well above the minimum level of 8.0%
prescribed for bank-holding companies of One Valley's size. The leverage ratio
is a measure of total tangible equity to total tangible assets. One Valley's
leverage ratio at December 31, 1999 was 8.2% compared to 9.0% at December 31,
1998. Both of these ratios are well above the minimum 3.0% and the

4.0% to 5.0% prescribed by the Federal Reserve. These healthy ratios are the
direct result of management's decision to maintain a strong capital position.
The primary source of funds for dividends paid by One Valley to its
shareholders is the dividends received from its subsidiary banks. Federal
regulatory agencies impose restrictions on the payment of dividends and the
transfer of assets from the banking subsidiaries to the holding company. These
regulatory restrictions have not had an adverse impact on One Valley's dividend
policy. Additional information concerning dividend restrictions is discussed in
Note D to the consolidated financial statements.
In February 1999, One Valley's Board of Directors (the Board) authorized the
repurchase of 1.5 million shares of One Valley common stock. This purchase was
completed by the end of the second quarter at a cost of $56.5 million. In July
1999, the Board authorized the repurchase of another 1.5 million shares of One
Valley common stock. At year end, 70,700 shares of the July authorization had
been purchased at a cost of $2.6 million. The repurchases have been halted and
the Board rescinded authorization to repurchase shares, pending acquisition by
BB&T.
INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the amount by which interest generated from earning
assets exceeds the expense associated with funding those assets, is One Valley's
most significant component of earnings. Net interest income on a fully tax-
equivalent basis was $244.3 million in 1999, up 6.7% over the $228.9 million in
1998. This follows an increase of 10.1% in 1998 over the 1997 level. When net
interest income is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis, interest income
from tax-exempt earning assets is increased by the amount equivalent to the
federal income taxes which would have been paid if this income were subject to
the statutory federal tax rate of 35%.
The increase in net interest income in 1999 is largely due to the 13.5%
growth in average loans outstanding. One Valley's loan portfolio experienced
growth in all major classifications during 1999, with commercial lending showing
the greatest increase compared to last year. Funding of One Valley's loan growth
came from a 6.4% increase in average deposits with the remainder from increased
short and long-term borrowings. As shown in Table 12, Rate Volume Analysis,
increases in the volume of earning assets in both 1999 and 1998 have provided a
significant increase in net interest income. In 1999, the increase in the volume
of earning assets increased interest income by $44.7 million. This increase was
offset somewhat by decreases in interest yields on loans and investments due to
the overall lower interest rate environment on average for the entire year. As a
result, total interest income increased by $26.2 million in 1999 over 1998.
Similarly in 1999, an increased volume of interest-bearing liabilities
boosted interest expense by $24.6 million. However, a lower cost of interest-
bearing liabilities reduced the overall increase in total interest expense to
$10.8 million. The increase in total interest income exceeded the increase in
overall interest expense by $15.4 million on a fully tax-equivalent basis in
1999 over 1998. In 1998, increases in volumes of interest sensitive assets and
liabilities increased total interest income and total interest expense over the
previous year. Yet a decline in yields in earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities partially reduced interest income and interest expense. As a result,
net interest income grew by $20.9 million.
Since 1997, even though net interest income increased due to higher volumes
of earning assets, the lower overall interest rate environment and increased
competition for deposits and other funds had a dampening effect on the net
interest margin percentage on a fully tax-equivalent basis. The yield on all
earning assets declined to 7.81% in 1999, down from the 8.10% realized in 1998,
and the 8.29% realized during 1997. At the same time, the stiff competition for
deposits and the use of borrowings to fund loan and investment growth prevented
the cost of all funds from declining as significantly as the yield on earning
assets. In 1999, the average cost of funds was 3.61%, down from the 3.77% in
1998, and the 3.81% in 1997. As a result, the net interest margin (net interest
income divided by the sum of average earning

assets) in 1999 declined to 4.20%, down from the 4.33% and 4.48% earned in 1998
and 1997, respectively. It should be noted that the net interest margin
percentage was negatively impacted in 1999 by the additional borrowings and cash
levels maintained to meet potential customer cash and liquidity needs related to
Y2K. If those factors were excluded from the calculation, the net interest
margin percentage would have been 4.31%. The impact on net interest income from
the preparations related to Y2K was immaterial.
The Net Interest Margin graph shows One Valley's yield on earning assets,
cost of all funds and net interest margin over the past six years. Further
discussion of net interest income is included in the section of this report
entitled "Balance Sheet Analysis."
Non-interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income is an important factor for improving profitability.
Recognizing this importance, management continues to evaluate areas where
non-interest income can be enhanced. As shown in Table 13, non-interest income
increased by $7.9 million or 13.2% in 1999 compared to 1998, which follows a
23.3% increase in 1998 over 1997. The increase in 1999 was primarily due to
growth in trust income, credit/debit card fees, service charges on deposit
accounts, investment and insurance services fees, and miscellaneous income. In
1999, trust income totaled $14.0 million, a 19.6% or $2.3 million increase over
1998. This increase follows a 14.2% increase in 1998 over 1997. Trust revenues
are increasing primarily due to new business over the past several years and
favorable growth trends in the financial markets. Credit/debit card fee income
increased by $2.1 million or 40.4% in 1999 and by $1.6 million or 43.5% in 1998
due to increased card usage by customers, and an expanding network of businesses
using One Valley to process their merchant transactions. Deposit service charges
increased by $1.6 million or 8.1% in 1999 and $3.9 million or 25.1% in 1998. In
1999, the increase in deposit service charges was due primarily to an increase
in customer activity. The 1998 increase was due to the introduction of new

products and a new fee structure for deposits, coupled with an increase in the
customer base due to the 1998 acquisitions. Electronic banking revenue increased
by $866,000 or 30.5% in 1999, largely due to increased ATM usage and a change in
the fee structure. At December 31, 1999, One Valley had 269 ATM locations.
Revenue from the investment and insurance services increased by $2.1 million
or 72.6% in 1999 compared to $544,000 or 23.8% in 1998. One Valley offers these
products to fulfill its commitment to provide integrated financial services to
its customers. Other operating income increased by $2.0 million or 32.3% in
1999. This increase resulted from fees generated by official check processing,
an increase in checkbook sales, and gains resulting from prepayment of loans
acquired at a discount. Other operating income increased by $648,000 in 1998
partially due to the sale of a portion of One Valley's student loan portfolio.
Real estate fees decreased by $2.4 million or 28.2% in 1999, which compares
to a $2.5 million or 43.0% increase in 1998. Real estate loan volume and
secondary market sales were extraordinarily high in 1998 due to refinancing
activity initiated by a lower interest rate environment. Volume in 1997 and 1999
reflect more typical real estate activity levels. In 1999, One Valley realized
$0.1 million in gains on securities sales. This compares to $1.1 million in
gains realized in 1998 and $1.0 million in gains realized in 1997. These
securities were sold as part of One Valley's management of its asset/liability
position.

Just as management continues to evaluate areas where non-interest income can
be enhanced, it strives to find ways to improve the efficiency of its operations
and thus reduce operating costs. In 1999, One Valley's efficiency continued to
improve as demonstrated by its declining net overhead ratio. Operating costs
increased 7.5% or $12.1 million to accommodate the growth of One Valley's
financial services franchise. Yet, when coupled with increases in non-interest
income and the growth in earning assets, One Valley's net overhead ratio (non-
interest expense less non-interest income excluding securities transactions to
average earning assets) improved considerably to 1.82% from 1.95% in 1998. A
lower net overhead ratio means more of the net interest margin flows through as
net income. Over the past five years, net overhead has grown by a compound rate
of only 3.5% whereas net interest income has grown by 6.6%.
Total non-interest expense increased by $12.1 million or 7.5% in 1999 from
1998, which compares to an increase of $17.6 million or 12.2% in 1998 versus
1997. The 1999 increase was impacted by the full year operation of Summit versus
only five months in 1998. Total staff costs increased by 8.4% in 1999, the
result of normal salary increases as well as a 5.4% increase in employees
resulting from the growth of One Valley's financial services franchise.
Additional information on employee benefits is discussed in Note N to the
consolidated financial statements.
Advertising expenses decreased by $364,000 or 8.7% in 1999 as compared to
1998, again related to the 1998 expansion in the Virginia market. This follows
an increase in 1998 of 2.2%. FDIC insurance expense increased by $131,000 or
14.9% in 1999 resulting from One Valley's expanded deposit base, as compared to
a $172,000 or 16.4% decrease in 1998 over 1997. The decrease in 1998 was due to
the lowering of deposit insurance rates.
Occupancy, equipment and data processing expenses have increased over the
last two years largely due to facilities and equipment modernization and the
expansion of One Valley's banking network. Net occupancy expense increased by
$1.5 million or 17.1% in 1999 over 1998. This compares to a $941,000 or 12.4%
increase in 1998 versus 1997. Equipment expense increased by $1.2 million or
10.2% over 1998 compared to a $2.2 million or 23.8% increase in 1998 over 1997.
Outside data processing costs increased by $798,000 or 8.0% in 1999 due to
expanding operations, versus an $897,000 or 9.8% increase in 1998 over 1997.
Taxes not on income increased by $637,000 or 15.4% in 1999, which followed a
1998 increase of $769,000 or 22.7%. These increases are largely due to the
central Virginia affiliate's charter change to a national bank and the addition
of Summit in the second half of 1998. In Virginia, banks are subject to an
equity-based state franchise tax but are exempt from state income tax. In 1997
and earlier years, the central Virginia affiliate was a thrift institution
subject to state income tax. Supplies and postage expense increased $932,000 or
10.5% in 1999 as compared to $1.4 million or 19.4% in 1998, primarily related to
additional mailings, forms, supplies and courier service for One Valley's
expanded Virginia operations. Other expenses remained relatively flat with an
increase of $595,000 or 1.8%. This compares to an increase of $5.5 million or
19.6% in 1998. The increase in 1998 was primarily due to increased intangible
amortization resulting from the Wachovia branch purchase, and a general increase
in costs due to the expanded branch network.
An analysis of the allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan
losses is included in the Loan Portfolio section of the Balance Sheet Analysis
of the report.
Applicable Income Taxes
Income tax expense in 1999 was $39.4 million compared to $35.9 million in
1998 and $33.1 million in 1997. The increase in 1999 was primarily due to an
increase in pretax earnings. One Valley's effective tax rate was 32.8% in 1999
down from 33.0% in 1998 and 34.1% in 1997. Additional information regarding
income taxes is contained in Note M to the consolidated financial statements.
Effects of Changing Prices
The results of operations and financial condition presented in this report
are based on historical cost, unadjusted for the effects of inflation. Inflation
affects One Valley in two ways. One is that inflation can result in
26
<PAGE> 28
increased operating costs that must be absorbed or recovered through increased
prices for services. The second effect is on the purchasing power of the
corporation. Virtually all of a bank's assets and liabilities are monetary in
nature. Regardless of changes in prices, most assets and liabilities of the
banking subsidiaries will be converted into a fixed number of dollars.
Non-earning assets, such as premises and equipment, do not constitute a major
portion of One Valley's assets; therefore, most assets are subject to repricing
on a more frequent basis than in other industries.
One Valley's ability to offset the effects of inflation and potential
reductions in future purchasing power depends primarily on its ability to
maintain capital levels by adjusting pricing for its services and to improve net
interest income by maintaining an effective asset/liability mix. Management's
efforts to meet these goals are described in other sections of this report.
SUMMARY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOURTH QUARTER 1999
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1999 was $19.7 million, a
slight increase from the $19.5 million earned during the fourth quarter of 1998.
For the fourth quarter of 1999, diluted earnings per share rose to $0.59, a 7.3%
increase from the $0.55 reported for the fourth quarter of 1998.
Net interest income rose by 2.0% to $58.4 million when compared to the same
three months of 1998. Average earning assets increased 9.1%, primarily due to a
9.9% increase in average loans outstanding. At the same time, average
interest-bearing liabilities increased 12.5% primarily due to a $451.0 million
increase in long-term borrowings. In April, One Valley borrowed $200.0 million
from the Federal Home Loan Bank to provide adequate liquidity for customers'
potential year-end cash needs. During the fourth quarter additional cash was
also kept available for these anticipated needs. The additional borrowing and
liquidity lowered One Valley's net interest margin by 14 basis points in the
fourth quarter and 11 basis points for the year.
Average deposits increased 2.3% in fourth quarter 1999 versus an increase of
15.4% in fourth quarter 1998 over 1997. This higher growth rate in 1998 is a
result of the acquisition activity discussed in earlier sections of this report.
The fourth quarter provision for loan losses decreased by $242,000 in 1999
from 1998. This compares to an increase of $342,000 in 1998 when compared to
fourth quarter of 1997. These fluctuations are consistent with the 9.4% decrease
in loan loss provisions for the full year as computed under One Valley's loan
loss reserve adequacy analysis methodology as fully described in previous
sections of this report. Non-interest income increased 4.7% in fourth quarter
1999. One Valley's Trust income, service charges on deposits, and other service
charges and fees combined for a 19.8% or $2.4 million increase. The increase was
primarily due to increased market value of assets held in Trust, revenue from
deposit accounts, brokerage and insurance commissions, and credit/debit card
revenue. The increase was partially offset by a decline in real estate loan
servicing income and other operating income. Non-interest expense increased by
3.0% during the same period as a result of One Valley's expanded branch network,
technology upgrades, increased debit/credit card processing and other operating
costs. Net overhead for the quarter increased by $371,000 or 1.4% compared to
the same period one year ago.
Additional quarterly financial data is provided in Note T to the
consolidated financial statements.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
One Valley completed its Year 2000 readiness project on schedule and within
the estimated budget of $5.4 million (which did not include salaries of all
personnel involved but did include estimates of the time and corresponding
salary allocations of those with primary responsibility for the project). One
Valley's systems and the systems of its third party service providers operated
without interruption over the Year 2000 date change. One Valley is continuing to
monitor and verify the continued operation of its and its vendors' systems
through several key dates in the Year 2000, consistent with the guidance of the
federal bank regulators.

Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements
ONE VALLEY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES DECEMBER 31, 1999
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of One Valley Bancorp, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (One Valley) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States and to general practices within the banking industry. The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
following is a summary of the more significant accounting and reporting
policies.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of One
Valley Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
One Valley considers cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other
banks, and federal funds sold as cash and cash equivalents.
SECURITIES
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time
of purchase. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when One Valley
has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.
Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value with
the unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported in other
comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses represent the difference
between the estimated fair value and amortized cost of available-for-sale
securities.
The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to interest income. The specific
identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on sales of
securities.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans originated and held for sale in the secondary market are carried
at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
The value of mortgage servicing rights, regardless of how obtained, is
capitalized and amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net
servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is assessed
quarterly based on the fair value of those rights. To determine fair value, One
Valley estimates the present value of future cash flows incorporating various
assumptions including servicing income, cost of servicing, discount rates,
prepayment speeds, and default rates. For purposes of determining impairment,
the mortgage servicing rights are stratified based upon predominant risk
characteristics of the underlying loans.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As part of managing its interest rate risk, One Valley periodically uses
financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and cap contracts, frequently
referred to as derivative financial instruments. These derivative instruments
provide an off-balance sheet method of managing earnings fluctuations due to
changes in interest rates.
As with any financial instrument, derivatives have inherent risks, primarily
market and credit risk. Market risk includes the risk of gains and losses that
result from changes in interest rates. Credit risk is the risk that a
counterparty to a derivative contract with an unrealized gain fails to perform
according to the terms of the agreement. One Valley monitors these risks through
its asset/liability committee policy.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, as well as the
appropriate provision for loan losses, management takes into consideration the
results of internal review procedures, historical loan loss experience, an
assessment of the effect of current economic conditions on the loan portfolio,
the financial condition of the borrower and such other factors which, in
management's judgment, deserve recognition. Impaired loans, primarily consisting
of non-accrual
32
<PAGE> 34
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES NOTE A -
CONTINUED
and restructured loans, are evaluated based on the discounted value of expected
future cash flows or on the estimated fair value of the collateral if repayment
of the loan is expected to be provided by the collateral. In management's
judgment, the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to
absorb losses in the loan portfolio.
LOAN FEES AND COSTS
Loan origination and commitment fees and direct loan origination costs are being
recognized as collected and incurred. The use of this method of recognition does
not produce results that are materially different from results which would have
been produced if such costs and fees were deferred and amortized as an
adjustment of the loan yield over the life of the related loan.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided using the liability method in which deferred income
taxes (included in other assets) are provided for temporary differences between
the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial
statements at the statutory tax rate.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Interest income on loans, amortization of unearned income, and accretion of
discounts are computed by methods which generally result in level rates of
return on principal amounts outstanding.
The accrual of interest income generally is discontinued when the contractual
payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due. When interest
accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income in the current
year is reversed and interest accrued in prior years is charged against the
allowance for loan losses. Management may elect to continue the accrual of
interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral exceeds the
principal balance and accrued interest, and the loan is in the process of
collection.
Interest received on nonaccrual loans is either applied against principal or
reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the
collectibility of the remaining unpaid principal. Generally, a loan is restored
to accrual status when it is brought current, has performed in accordance with
the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the collectibility of
the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
One Valley has nonqualified and incentive stock option plans for certain key
employees and directors. Because the exercise price of One Valley's employee
stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of
grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options
and is computed by dividing net income by the average common shares outstanding.
Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
average common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for the dilutive
effect of options under One Valley's stock option plans. The effect of dilutive
stock options on average shares outstanding was 354,000, 584,000, and 765,000 in
1999, 1998, and 1997.
SEGMENT REPORTING
One Valley's only defined business segment is community banking as One Valley
primarily evaluates its performance and allocates resources based on the
financial information of its community banking operations. As a community bank,
One Valley offers its customers a full range of products through traditional and
in-store branches, offices, ATMs, telephones, personal computers, and other
delivery channels throughout various geographic areas. The consolidated
financial information presented in the financial statements represents the
consolidated financial information of One Valley's community banking segment.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
CONCLUDED
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The provisions of this statement require
that derivative instruments be carried at fair value on the balance sheet and
allows hedge accounting when specific criteria are met. Any changes in fair
value or cash flow that represent the ineffective portion of a hedge are
required to be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred. For derivative
instruments not accounted for as hedges, changes in fair value are required to
be recognized in earnings. The provisions of this statement become effective for
quarterly and annual reporting beginning January 1, 2001. The impact of adopting
the provisions of this statement on One Valley's financial position or results
of operations, subsequent to the effective date, is not currently estimable and
will depend on the financial position of One Valley and the nature and purpose
of the derivative instruments in use by management at that time.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE B PENDING MERGER
On February 7, 2000, One Valley and BB&T Corp. (BB&T), based in Winston-Salem,
North Carolina, announced an agreement whereby BB&T will acquire One Valley in a
transaction that is expected to close during the third quarter of 2000. Under
the terms of the agreement, One Valley shareholders will receive 1.28 shares of
BB&T's common stock for each share of One Valley's common stock. This
transaction is expected to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE C RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK ACCOUNTS
Bank subsidiaries are required to maintain average balances with the Federal
Reserve Bank. The average amount of those balances for the year ended December
31, 1999, was approximately $16,103.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE D RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS
The primary source of funds for the dividends paid by One Valley Bancorp, Inc.
is dividends received from its subsidiary banks. Dividends paid by the
subsidiary banks are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. The most
restrictive provision requires regulatory approval if dividends declared in any
year exceed the year's retained net profits, as defined, plus the retained net
profits of the two preceding years. At December 31, 1999, the retained net
profits available for distribution to One Valley Bancorp, Inc. as dividends
without regulatory approval approximated $44,350.

<PAGE> 36
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS NOTE E
In 1998, One Valley acquired certain Virginia branches from the Wachovia
Corporation in a purchase transaction and Summit Bankshares, Inc. in an
immaterial pooling of interests. As a result of these transactions, One Valley
acquired $274 million in loans and $464 million in deposits. The balances and
operations of these acquisitions are included in the financial statements of One
Valley from the dates of acquisition and did not materially impact One Valley's
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for any period.
Prior to 1998 One Valley acquired other financial institutions accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of these
acquisitions and the branch acquisition noted above were allocated to the
identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired based upon their fair value
at the acquisition date. Intangible assets representing the present value of
future net income to be earned from deposits of acquired banks are being
amortized on an accelerated basis over a ten-year period. Deposit intangibles,
included in other assets, approximated $3,900 and $5,800 at December 31, 1999
and 1998. Deposit intangible amortization approximated $1,900 in 1999, $2,000 in
1998, and $1,100 in 1997. The excess of purchase price over the fair market
value of assets of subsidiary banks acquired (goodwill) is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from 15 to 25 years. Goodwill, included
in other assets, approximated $45,100 and $49,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998.
Goodwill amortization approximated $3,900 in 1999, $3,400 in 1998, and $1,400 in
1997.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN NOTE F
One Valley has a Shareholder Protection Rights Plan (the Plan). The Plan
provides that each share of common stock carries with it one right. The rights
would be exercisable only if a person or group, as defined, acquired 10% or more
of One Valley's common stock, or after a person commences a tender offer for
such stock. If a person or group acquires 10% or more of One Valley's common
stock, holders of rights, other than the 10% holder, could acquire shares of One
Valley's common stock at half price or the Board could exchange each such right
for one share of common stock. In addition, under certain circumstances, holders
of rights could acquire shares of common stock of the 10% holder at half price.
However, these rights are not and will not become exercisable by the holders as
a result of executing the merger agreement with BB&T or consummation of the
merger with BB&T.

Short-term and Long-term Borrowings NOTE L-CONTINUED
Several of One Valley's banking subsidiaries are members of the
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). A benefit of membership in the FHLB is
the availability of short-term and long-term borrowings, in the form
of collateralized advances. The advances are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury and agency securities, other debt securities, and residential
and multi-family mortgage loans. At December 31, 1999, approximately
$82,808 of U.S. Treasury and other debt securities were pledged as
collateral. The available lines of credit for short-term and long-term
borrowings, at prevailing market interest rates, as of December 31,
1999, approximated $1,037,000.
Long-term borrowings of $541,824 and $35,480 at December 31, 1999 and
1998, primarily consist of FHLB advances. The estimated maturities are
as follows: 2000 - $308,341; 2001 - $111,034; 2002 - $91,240; 2003 -
$3,958; 2004 - $6,788 and $20,463 thereafter. The weighted average
interest rate of these advances at December 31, 1999, was 5.46%.

NOTE N EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
One Valley has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially
all of its employees. One Valley also has a defined benefit
postretirement plan covering all employees who qualify for and elect
to retire with a normal or early retirement benefit under the defined
benefit pension plan. This plan provides medical and dental benefits.
The following table summarizes the benefit obligation and plan asset
activity for each of the plans.

For measurement purposes, an 8.00% annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2001. The
rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5.75% for 2002 and remain at
that level thereafter. The health care trend rate assumption does not
have a significant effect on the medical plan; therefore, a one
percentage point change in the trend rate is not material in the
determination of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or
the ongoing expense.
FFVA had an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) covering all full-time
employees, over the age of 21, with at least one year of service, and
a Management Stock Bonus Plan (MSBP). The ESOP and MSBP were
terminated in 1998. The total amount charged to compensation expense
related to the ESOP and MSBP for the year ended December 31, 1997, was
$825 and $2,077, respectively.

STOCK OPTION PLANS NOTE O
Pursuant to its nonqualified and incentive stock option plans, One
Valley has an aggregate maximum of 1,500,000 shares of common stock
reserved for issuance at December 31, 1999 and 1998. All options
granted have 10-year terms and vest immediately.
The fair value for the options was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following

NOTE P REGULATORY MATTERS
One Valley and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking
regulatory 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 One Valley's consolidated
financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, One Valley and
each of its banking subsidiaries must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of One Valley and
each of its banking subsidiaries' assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. One Valley and each of its banking subsidiaries' capital
amounts and classifications 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 One Valley and each of its banking subsidiaries to
maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as
defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined),
and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
One Valley and each of its banking subsidiaries met all capital
adequacy requirements to which they were subject at December 31,
1999.
As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notifications from the
banking regulatory agencies categorized One Valley and each of its
banking subsidiaries as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, One Valley and each of its banking subsidiaries must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I
leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no
conditions or events since these notifications that management
believes have changed the One Valley's category.
The following table sets forth regulatory capital ratios for One
Valley and its significant banking subsidiaries, One Valley Bank,
National Association and One Valley Bank-Central Virginia, NA.

NOTE R FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by One Valley in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate their
fair values.
SECURITIES
Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
LOANS
The fair values of fixed rate commercial, mortgage, and consumer loans
are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses at interest rates
currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality. For variable-rate loans that reprice
frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values
are based on carrying values.
ACCRUED INTEREST
The carrying value of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
DEPOSITS
The fair values of demand deposits (i.e., interest and non-interest
bearing checking, regular savings, and other types of money market
demand accounts) are, by definition, equal to their carrying values.
Fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using a
discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently
being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregate expected
monthly maturities of time deposits. FASB Statement No. 107 defines
the fair value of demand deposits as the amount payable on demand and
prohibits adjusting fair value for any value derived from retaining
those deposits for an unexpected future period of time (commonly
referred to as a deposit base intangible). Accordingly, the deposit
base intangible is not considered in the estimated fair value of total
deposits at December 31, 1999 and 1998.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
The carrying values of federal funds purchased and securities sold
under agreements to repurchase approximate their fair values.
LONG-TERM BORROWINGS
The fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted
cash flow analyses based on One Valley's current incremental borrowing
rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values for the derivative financial instruments were computed
using discounted cash flows at current interest rates. Unrealized
gains and losses on derivative financial instruments at December 31,
1999 and 1998, were not material.
COMMITMENTS
The fair values of commitments (standby letters of credit and loan
commitments) are estimated based on fees currently charged to enter
into similar agreements, taking into consideration the remaining terms
of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The
estimated fair value of these commitments at December 31, 1999 and
1998, approximates their carrying value.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, AND DERIVATIVES NOTE S
In the normal course of business, One Valley offers certain financial
products to its customers to aid them in meeting their requirements
for liquidity and credit enhancement. Generally accepted accounting
principles require that these products be accounted for as contingent
liabilities and, accordingly, they are not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. One Valley's exposure
to loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty for
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is the
contract or notional amounts of these instruments. Management does not
anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments and
contingent liabilities. Following is a discussion of these commitments
and contingent liabilities.
STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT
These agreements are used by One Valley's customers as a means of
improving their credit standing in their dealings with others. Under
these agreements, One Valley guarantees certain financial commitments
in the event that its customers are unable to satisfy their
obligations. One Valley has issued standby letters of credit of
approximately $25,780 as of December 31, 1999. Management conducts
regular reviews of these commitments on an individual customer basis,
and the results are considered in assessing the adequacy of One
Valley's allowance for loan losses.
LOAN COMMITMENTS
As of December 31, 1999, One Valley had commitments outstanding to
extend credit at prevailing market rates approximating $782,790. These
commitments generally require the customers to maintain certain credit
standards. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by
One Valley upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and
income producing commercial properties.
LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE
One Valley is contingently liable on certain loans previously sold by
an acquired company. At December 31, 1999, there was approximately
$13,060 in outstanding loans sold with recourse. Pursuant to the terms
of an Indemnity Agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC), successor to the obligations of the Resolution
Trust Corporation, the FDIC is obligated to indemnify any and all
costs, losses, liabilities and expenses, including legal fees,
resulting from certain third-party claims.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS
-----------
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
One Valley Bancorp, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of One
Valley Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (One Valley) as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of One Valley's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We did not audit the 1997 consolidated financial statements of FFVA
Financial Corporation and subsidiary (FFVA) which statements reflect
total income constituting 11% of the 1997 consolidated total. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data
included for FFVA, is based solely on the report of the other
auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States. 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 other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and, for 1997, the report of other
auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of One Valley Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
