                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: LOANS
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Standard No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which requires that all
creditors value all specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that
the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of
the loan agreement at the present value of expected cash flows, market price of
the loan, if available, or value of the underlying collateral. Expected cash
flows are required to be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. This
Standard is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.
     The FASB also has issued Standard No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures," that amends FASB
Standard No. 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing
interest income on an impaired loan and by requiring additional disclosures
about how a creditor recognizes interest income related to impaired loans. This
Standard is to be implemented concurrently with Standard No. 114.
     On January 1, 1995, the provisions of Standards No. 114 and 118 were
adopted. The adoption of the Standards required no increase to the allowance for
loan losses and had no impact on net income in the first six months of 1995. The
impact to historical and current amounts related to in-substance foreclosures
was not material, and accordingly, historical amounts have not been restated.
     When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan's principal is in
doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. When
this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms
of the loan agreement first to principal and then to interest income. Once the
recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are
applied to interest income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone.
Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously
charged off.
     A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled
debt restructuring after January 1, 1995. For these accruing impaired loans,
cash receipts are typically applied to principal and interest receivable in
accordance with the terms of the restructured loan agreement. Interest income is
recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting. As of June 30,
1995, there were no accruing impaired loans.
     At June 30, 1995, impaired loans amounted to $342 million. Included in the
allowance for loan losses is $25 million related to $222 million of impaired
loans. The remainder of the impaired loans are recorded at or below fair value.
     In the first six months of 1995, the average recorded investment in
impaired loans was $353 million and $7 million of interest income was recognized
on loans while they were impaired. All of this income was recognized using a
cash-basis method of accounting.
NOTE 2: OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CARRYING AMOUNTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
     Information related to off-balance sheet risk as of June 30, 1995, is
included in Tables 19 through 21 of the Financial Supplement on pages T-16
through T-18.
     At June 30, 1995, the net fair value of the Corporation's recorded net
financial assets subject to valuation in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
increased 25 percent from year-end 1994 as a result of an increase in the net
financial assets subject to such valuation and decreased 10 percent as a result
of changes in interest rates from year-end 1994.
     Information related to off-balance sheet risk and the impact of changes in
interest rates should be read in conjunction with the "Interest Rate Risk
Management" section of the Financial Supplement.

               MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS


First Union's earnings applicable to common stockholders increased to
$479 million, or $2.77 per common share, in the first half of 1995,
compared with $440 million, or $2.59, in the first half of 1994.

Second quarter 1995 net income applicable to common stockholders
increased to $249 million, or $1.45 per common share, compared with $223
million, or $1.32, in the second quarter of 1994 and $230 million, or
$1.32, in the first quarter of 1995.

Key factors in first half 1995 results included:

(bullet) 7 percent growth in tax-equivalent net interest income, to $1.6
         billion at June 30, 1995, compared with the six months ended June
         30, 1994;

(bullet) 11 percent loan growth since
         year-end 1994;

(bullet) A decline in nonperforming assets to
         .95 percent of net loans and foreclosed properties; and

(bullet) 14 percent growth in noninterest income to $634 million
         at June 30, 1995, compared with the six months ended June
         30, 1994.

Net loans at June 30, 1995, were $60.0 billion, an increase of $6.0
billion since year-end 1994, including $2.6 billion from acquisitions
that closed during the first half of 1995. Loan growth was strong in all
categories, particularly in the consumer portfolio, which was led by
direct consumer lending through First Union's retail branch system,
credit cards and home equity lending. Residential mortgages also
increased through the acquisitions of First Florida Savings Bank, FSB,
and Virginia-based Ameribanc Savings Bank, FSB, which closed on April 1,
1995, and Coral Gables FedCorp., which closed on May 31, 1995.

Nonperforming assets were $569 million at June 30, 1995, compared with
$577 million at March 31, 1995, and $558 million at year-end 1994. They
were .95 percent of net loans and foreclosed properties, the lowest
percentage in nine years. Annualized net charge-offs for the first six
months of 1995 were .38 percent of average net loans.

Growth in noninterest income for the first six months of 1995 compared
with same period in 1994 was realized in virtually all categories,
including mortgage banking income, capital management income, 
fee income from capital markets activity and service charges on deposits.

On June 19, 1995, First Union announced a 13 percent increase in its
common stock dividend to 52 cents per share, or $2.08 on an annualized
basis, representing the 18th consecutive year that First Union has
increased its dividend. First Union has increased its dividend four
times in the past three years. First Union, including its predecessor
Union National Bank, has paid a dividend every year since 1914. The
common stock dividend is payable on September 15, 1995, to stockholders
of record as of August 31, 1995.

Domestic banking operations, including trust operations, located in
North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Tennessee,
Virginia and Washington, D.C., and

                                   2

mortgage banking operations are our principal sources of revenues.
Foreign banking operations are immaterial.

The Net Interest Income section provides information about lost interest
income related to nonaccrual and restructured loans and the Asset
Quality section includes information about the loan loss provision.

Outlook
Our first half performance supports our belief that both our fundamental
trends and the investments in capital markets products and services,
commercial lending re-engineering, card products (including credit
cards), retail investment products, technology and other initiatives we
have undertaken to enhance revenues have helped to produce earnings
momentum.

On June 19, 1995, First Union announced the signing of an agreement to
acquire First Fidelity Bancorporation, a $35.4 billion asset banking
company based in Newark, N.J., and Philadelphia, Pa. This transaction is
estimated to be initially dilutive, but to be accretive to earnings in
1997 and beyond.

The First Fidelity merger agreement provides, among other things, for
(i) the merger of First Fidelity with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary
of First Union, (ii) the exchange of each outstanding share of First
Fidelity common stock for 1.35 shares of First Union common stock,
subject to possible adjustment in certain circumstances, and (iii) the
exchange of each share of the three outstanding series of First Fidelity
preferred stock for one share of one of three corresponding new series
of First Union's Class A Preferred Stock having substantially identical
terms as the relevant series of First Fidelity preferred stock, all
subject to the terms and conditions contained the First Fidelity merger
agreement.


In connection with the execution of the First Fidelity merger agreement, 
First Fidelity granted an option to First Union to purchase, under
certain circumstances, up to 19.9 percent of the outstanding shares of 
First Fidelity common stock at a per share exercise price equal to 
$59.00, and First Union granted an option to First Fidelity to purchase, 
under certain circumstances, up to 19.9 percent of the outstanding 
shares of First Union common stock at a per share exercise price 
equal to $45.625.

Also, in connection with the execution of the First Fidelity merger agreement,
Banco Santander, S.A., the owner of approximately 30 percent of the
outstanding shares of First Fidelity common stock, agreed, among other
things, to vote the First Fidelity shares held by it in favor of the
First Fidelity merger agreement. Following consummation of the First
Fidelity merger, Banco Santander is expected to own approximately 11.4
percent of the outstanding shares of First Union common stock.

The First Fidelity merger will be accounted for as a pooling of
interests. Consummation is expected by January 1, 1996, and is subject to 
the receipt of regulatory approvals, First Fidelity and First Union 
stockholder approvals and other conditions set forth in the First Fidelity 
merger agreement.

Based on the $47.625 closing price of First Union common stock on the
New York Stock Exchange on June 16, 1995, the transaction would be
valued at approximately $5.4 billion and represent a purchase price of
$64.29 for each share of First Fidelity common stock.

Before consummation of the First Fidelity merger, First Fidelity and
First Union may purchase up to 5.5 million shares of First Fidelity
common stock or 7.4 million shares of First Union common stock, or some
combination of the two. Approximately 105 million shares of First Union
common stock are expected to be issued in the First Fidelity merger
(including outstanding First Fidelity employee stock options and
convertible preferred stock, and net of the expected purchase of First
Fidelity and First Union common stock referred to above). The
Stockholders' Equity section includes further information on the
purchase of First Union common stock. In addition, it is expected

                                   3

<PAGE>

that after-tax restructuring charges of $140 million will be taken in
the fourth quarter of 1995 in connection with the First Fidelity merger.

Following consummation of the First Fidelity merger, the current
chairman and chief executive officer of First Fidelity, Anthony P.
Terracciano, will join Edward E. Crutchfield and John R. Georgius in an
"Office of the Chairman" of First Union. Mr. Crutchfield will continue
to serve as chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Georgius will
serve as vice chairman and Mr. Terracciano will serve as president of
First Union. Additionally, six First Fidelity directors, including Mr.
Terracciano and a representative of Banco Santander, will join the First
Union Corporation Board of Directors.

Additional historical, pro forma and other information relating to the
First Fidelity merger is available in First Union Form 8-K documents
dated June 19, 1995, June 20, 1995, June 21, 1995, and June 30, 1995,
which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the second quarter of 1995, we completed the purchase accounting
acquisitions of Florida-based Coral Gables Fedcorp, Inc.; Ameribanc
Investors Group, parent of Ameribanc Savings Bank, FSB, in Virginia, and
First Florida Savings Bank, FSB. These three acquisitions had combined
assets of $3.2 billion, net loans of $2.6 billion and deposits of $2.8
billion.

During the third quarter of 1995, we completed the purchase accounting
acquisitions of American Savings of Florida, FSB, and Home Federal
Savings Bank of Rome, Ga. In the second half of 1995, we expect to
consummate the purchase accounting acquisitions of United Financial
Corporation of South Carolina Inc. and Columbia First Bank, FSB, in
Virginia. During the first quarter of 1996, we expect to consummate the
pending purchase accounting acquisitions of RS Financial Corp., parent
company of Raleigh Federal Savings Bank, and Brentwood National Bank,
based in the Nashville suburb of Brentwood, Tenn. At June 30, 1995,
these six pending or completed purchase acquisitions had combined
assets, net loans and deposits of $8.0 billion, $5.6 billion and $5.3
billion, respectively.

We continue to be alert to opportunities to enhance stockholder value through 
acquisitions. We are continually evaluating acquisition opportunities, and 
teams of experienced bankers from all areas of the corporation frequently 
conduct due diligence activities in connection with possible acquisitions.

As a result, acquisition discussions and in some cases negotiations
frequently take place, and future acquisitions involving cash, debt or
equity securities may be expected. Acquisitions typically involve the
payment of a premium over book and market values. Some dilution of First
Union's book value and temporary dilution of net income per common share
may occur in connection with some future acquisitions.

The Accounting and Regulatory Matters section provides information about
various other legislative, accounting and regulatory matters that have
recently been adopted or proposed.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased 7 percent compared with the
first half of 1994, to $1.6 billion in the first half of 1995.
Tax-equivalent net interest income increased 8 percent from the second
quarter of 1994 and 4 percent from the first quarter of 1995, to a
record $836 million in the second quarter of 1995. The increase in the
first half of 1995 reflected strong loan growth, the repricing of
variable rate assets and reduced premium amortization for the purchase
of options contracts to hedge against rising interest rates. During the
second half of 1995, we are optimistic about our ability to continue to
increase tax-equivalent net interest income.

Nonperforming loans reduced interest income because the contribution
from these loans is eliminated or sharply reduced. In the first half of
1995, $31 million in gross interest income would have been recorded if
all nonaccrual and restructured loans had been current in accordance
with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the
period, or since origination if held for part of the period. The amount
of interest income related to these assets and included in income in the
first half of 1995 was $8 million.

Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin, which is the difference between the
tax-equivalent yield on earning assets and the rate paid on funds to
support those assets, was 4.62 percent in the second quarter of 1995,
compared with 4.57 percent in the first quarter of 1995 and 4.78 percent
in the second quarter of 1994. Loan repricing and a lag in deposit
repricing were factors in the margin increase from the first quarter of
1995. The margin declined from 4.78 percent in the first six months of
1994 to 4.61 percent in the first six months of 1995 primarily because
of the addition of acquired banks and thrifts with lower margins; the
addition of short-term securities; and increasingly competitive loan
pricing. While we continue to expect growth in net interest income and
loans, particularly in credit cards and direct consumer loans, we also
anticipate a modest contraction in the margin in future quarters as a
result of  the impact of acquisitions and the generation of lower-spread
assets related to Capital Markets activity. We expect the margin to
benefit from the repricing of adjustable rate mortgages and run-off in
off-balance sheet positions that have had a negative impact on the
margin. It should be noted that the margin is not our primary management
focus or goal. Our goal is to continue increasing net interest income,
which has increased for 23 consecutive quarters.

The average rate earned on earning assets was 8.59 percent in the first
half of 1995, compared with 7.68 percent in the first half of 1994. The
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 4.60 percent in
the first half of 1995 and 3.41 percent in the first half of 1994.

We use securities and off-balance sheet transactions to manage interest
rate sensitivity. More information on these transactions is included in
the Interest Rate Risk Management section.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Virtually all categories of noninterest income grew in the first half of
1995, including capital management income, mortgage banking income and
service charges on deposit accounts, reflecting greater volume due to
acquisitions. Mortgage banking income more than doubled from the second
quarter of 1994. This increase reflected both the $3.8 billion growth in
the mortgage servicing portfolio to $37.3 billion at June 30, 1995, as a
result of acquisitions since the second quarter of 1994, as well as
increased

                                   5

<PAGE>

originations from the first quarter of 1995. Capital management income,
including personal and corporate trust, brokerage, mutual funds and
asset management income, increased 34 percent, to a record $68 million.
Mutual fund assets under management grew to $9.2 billion with the
acquisition by First Union's proprietary family of mutual funds of five
of the six Florida-based ABT family of mutual funds. Our proprietary
mutual fund family was renamed "The Evergreen Funds" on July 7, 1995.
Capital markets activity also was strong during the first half of 1995.

Trading Activities

Trading activities are undertaken to satisfy customers' risk management
and investment needs and for the corporation's own account. All trading
activities are conducted within risk limits established by the
corporation's Funds Management Committee, and all trading positions are
marked to market daily.

Trading activities include fixed income securities, money market
instruments, foreign exchange, options, futures, forward rate agreements
and swaps.

At June 30, 1995, trading account assets were $1.6 billion, compared
with $1.2 billion at year-end 1994.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense increased 8 percent in the first half of 1995
compared with the first half of 1994, largely reflecting growth in
personnel, advertising and other expenses related to card products,
financial planning, capital markets and other initiatives undertaken to
improve prospects for revenue growth, as well as expenses related to
acquisitions. Noninterest expense increased 4 percent compared with the
first quarter of 1995, largely as a result of acquisitions that closed
during the second quarter. Increases in other intangible assets from
$917 million at June 30, 1994, to $1.2 billion at year-end 1994 and $1.4
billion at June 30, 1995, and the related increase in amortization
expense, contributed to the increase in noninterest expense. Costs
related to environmental matters were not material.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Securities available for sale are used as a part of the corporation's
interest rate risk management strategy and may be sold in response to
changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, liquidity needs,
the need to increase regulatory capital ratios and other factors. During
the first half of 1995, we allowed securities to mature without material
reinvestment in order to fund loan growth and to avoid material exposure
to interest rate movements.

At June 30, 1995, we had securities available for sale with a market
value of $7.4 billion, compared with a market value of $7.8 billion at
year-end 1994. The market value of securities available for sale was $13
million above amortized cost at the end of the second quarter of 1995.
Despite the unrealized gain, an $8 million after-tax unrealized loss was
recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity at June 30, 1995, as a
result of a transfer loss recorded when securities were moved to investment
securities in 1994. Table 7 provides information related to unrealized
gains and losses and realized gains and losses on these securities.

The average rate earned on securities available for sale in the first
half of 1995 was 6.37 percent, compared with 5.27 percent in the first
half of 1994. The average maturity of the portfolio was 3.32 years at
June 30, 1995.

                                   6

<PAGE>

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

First Union's investment securities amounted to $3.6 billion at June 30,
1995, compared with $3.7 billion at year-end 1994.

The average rate earned on investment securities in the first half of
1995 was 8.93 percent, compared with 9.03 percent in the first half of
1994. The average maturity of the portfolio was 5.09 years at June 30,
1995.

Table 8 provides information related to unrealized gains and losses and
realized gains and losses on these securities.

LOANS

Our lending strategy stresses quality growth, diversified by product,
geography and industry. A common credit underwriting structure is in
place throughout the company, and a special real estate credit group
reviews large commercial real estate loans before approval. Consistent
with our long-time standard, we generally look for two repayment sources
for commercial real estate loans: cash flows from the project and other
resources of the borrower.

Our commercial lenders focus principally on middle-market companies. A
majority of our commercial loans are for less than $10 million.

Our consumer lenders emphasize credit judgments that focus on a
customer's debt obligations, ability and willingness to repay, and
general economic trends.

Net loans at June 30, 1995, were $60.0 billion, compared with $54.0
billion at year-end 1994. Of this increase, $2.6 billion was related to
acquisitions that closed in the first six months of 1995, with the rest
coming from strong loan growth in all of our banking states and in
virtually all loan categories. Consumer loan growth led the increase,
largely reflecting strength in credit cards, direct lending and second
mortgages.

The loan portfolio at June 30, 1995, was composed of 45 percent in
commercial loans and 55 percent in consumer loans. The portfolio mix did
not change significantly from year-end 1994.

At June 30, 1995, unused loan commitments related to commercial and
consumer loans were $17.1 billion and $11.0 billion, respectively.
Commercial and standby letters of credit were $2.2 billion.

At June 30, 1995, loan participations sold to other lenders amounted to
$1.1 billion and were recorded as a reduction of gross loans.

The average rate earned on loans in the first half of 1995 was 9.05
percent, compared with 8.40 percent in the first half of 1994. The
average prime rate in the first half of 1995 was 8.91 percent, compared
with 6.46 percent in the first half of 1994. Factors affecting rates
between the first half of 1994 and the first half of 1995 included:
rapid increases in the prime rate throughout 1994; an increased portion
of the loan portfolio tied to rate indices other than the prime rate; a
larger portfolio of fixed and adjustable rate mortgages; and a rapidly
growing credit card portfolio, which reflected recent solicitations with
introductory rates that will reprice throughout 1995.

in the loan portfolio.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

Commercial real estate loans amounted to 13 percent of the total
portfolio at June 30, 1995, and at December 31, 1994. This portfolio
included commercial real estate mortgage loans of $6.0 billion at June
30, 1995, and $5.4 billion at December 31, 1994.

ASSET QUALITY


Nonperforming Assets

At June 30, 1995, nonperforming assets were $569 million, or .95 percent
of net loans and foreclosed properties, compared with $577 million, or
1.03 percent, at March 31, 1995, and $558 million, or 1.03 percent, at
December 31, 1994.

Segregated assets, which are not included in nonperforming assets and
which relate to the acquisition of Southeast Banks in 1991, were $189
million at June 30, 1995, or $169 million net of a $20 million allowance
for losses on segregated assets. This compared with $187 million, or
$165 million net of a $22 million allowance,  at December 31, 1994.
Under a loss-sharing arrangement, the FDIC reimburses First Union for 85
percent of any losses associated with the acquired Southeast Banks
commercial and consumer loan portfolio, except revolving consumer
credit, for which reimbursement declines five percent per year to 65
percent by 1996. Segregated assets are included in other assets.

Loans or properties of less than $5 million each made up 79 percent, or
$450 million, of nonperforming assets at June 30, 1995. Of the rest:

(diamond) Seven loans or properties between $5 million and $10 million each
accounted for $45 million; and

(diamond) Three loans or properties over $10 million each accounted for $74
million.

Sixty-three percent of nonperforming assets were collateralized by real
estate at June 30, 1995, compared with 72 percent at year-end 1994.

Past Due Loans

In addition to these nonperforming assets, at June 30, 1995, accruing
loans 90 days past due were $118 million, compared with $206 million at
March 31, 1995, and $140 million at December 31, 1994. Of these, $7
million were related to commercial and commercial real estate loans,
compared with $27 million at December 31, 1994.

Net Charge-offs

Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans were .38
percent in the first half of 1995, compared with .27 percent in the
first half of 1995. Annualized net charge-offs were .44 percent in the
second quarter of 1995, .31 percent in the first quarter of 1995, and
 .40 percent in the fourth quarter of 1994. As our credit card portfolios
have matured, annualized net charge-offs have increased. We expect a
moderate increase in the dollar level of charge-offs during the rest of
the year as the credit card portfolios continue to mature. Table 10
provides information on net charge-offs by category.

Provision And Allowance For Loan Losses

The loan loss provision was $77 million in the first half of 1995,
compared with $50 million in the first half of 1994. The provision was
$44 million in the second quarter of 1995, compared with $25 million in
the second quarter of 1994. The increase in the loan loss provision was
based primarily on current economic conditions, on the maturity and
level of nonperforming assets, and on projected levels of charge-offs,
particularly in relation to the credit card portfolio.

We establish reserves based upon various other factors, including the
results of quantitative analyses of the quality of commercial loans and
commercial real estate loans. Reserves for commercial and commercial
real estate loans are based principally on loan grades, historical loss
rates, borrowers' creditworthiness, underlying cash flows from the
project and from borrowers, and analysis of other less quantifiable
factors that might influence the portfolio. Reserves for consumer loans
are based principally on delinquencies and historical loss rates. We
analyze all loans in excess of $500,000 that are being monitored as
potential credit problems to determine whether supplemental, specific
reserves are necessary.

Since December 31, 1994, the loan loss allowance as a percentage of net
loans, nonaccrual and restructured loans, and nonperforming assets has
declined, as indicated in Table 10. Since the third quarter of 1994, the
provision for loan losses has been less than net charge-offs.

At June 30, 1995, impaired loans, which are included in nonaccrual
loans, amounted to $342 million, compared with $330 million at March 31,
1995. Included in the allowance for loan losses is $25 million related
to $226 million of impaired loans at June 30, 1995. The rest of the
impaired loans are recorded at or below fair value. The Accounting and
Regulatory Matters section provides further information about impaired
loans.

Geographic Exposure

The loan portfolio in the South Atlantic region of the United States is
spread primarily across 61 metropolitan statistical areas with diverse
economies. Washington, D.C.; Charlotte, North Carolina; Atlanta,
Georgia; and Miami, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach and Tampa, Florida,
are our largest markets, but no individual metropolitan market contains
more than 8 percent of the commercial loan portfolio.

Substantially all of the $7.9 billion commercial real estate portfolio
at June 30, 1995, was located in our banking region.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING SOURCES


Liquidity planning and management are necessary to ensure we maintain
the ability to fund operations cost-effectively and to meet current and
future obligations.  In this process, we focus on both assets and
liabilities and the manner in which they combine to provide adequate
liquidity to meet the corporation's needs.

Funding sources primarily include customer-based core deposits but also
include purchased funds and cash flows from operations. First Union is
one of the nation's largest core deposit-funded banking institutions.
Our large consumer deposit base, which is spread across the economically
strong South Atlantic region, creates considerable funding diversity and
stability. Further, our acquisitions of bank and thrift deposits have
enhanced liquidity.

                                   9

<PAGE>

Asset liquidity is maintained through maturity management and our
ability to liquidate assets, primarily assets held for sale. Another
significant source of asset liquidity is the potential to securitize
assets such as credit card receivables and auto, home equity and
mortgage loans. Off-balance sheet sources of liquidity exist as well,
such as a mortgage servicing portfolio for which the estimated fair
value exceeded book value by $182 million at June 30, 1995.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided from operations primarily results from net income
adjusted for the following noncash accounting items: the provisions for
loan losses and foreclosed properties; and depreciation and
amortization. These items amounted to $268 million in the first half of
1995, compared with $208 million in the first half of 1994. This cash
was available during the first half of 1995 to increase earning assets
and to reduce borrowings by $103 million, and to pay dividends of $165
million.

Core Deposits

Core deposits were $54.5 billion at June 30, 1995, compared with $53.2
billion at December 31, 1994. Core deposits include savings, negotiable
order of withdrawal (NOW), money market and noninterest-bearing
accounts, and other consumer time deposits.

In the first half of 1995 and 1994, average noninterest-bearing deposits
were 19 percent and 20 percent, respectively, of average core deposits.
The Net Interest Income Summaries provide additional information about
average core deposits.

The portion of core deposits in higher-rate, other consumer time
deposits was 37 percent at June 30, 1995, and 35 percent at year-end
1994. Other consumer time and other noncore deposits usually pay higher
rates than savings and transaction accounts, but they generally are not
available for immediate withdrawal and are less expensive to process.

Average core deposit balances in the first half of 1995 increased $3.0
billion from the first half of 1994. Average balances in savings and
NOW, other consumer time deposits and noninterest-bearing deposits were
higher when compared with the previous year, while money market deposits
were lower. Deposits were primarily affected by acquisitions and can
also be affected by branch closings or consolidations, seasonal factors
and the rates being offered for deposits compared to other investment
opportunities.

Purchased Funds

Purchased funds at June 30, 1995, were $14.7 billion, compared with
$13.3 billion at year-end 1994. Purchased funds are acquired primarily
through (i) our large branch network, consisting principally of $100,000
and over certificates of deposit, public funds and treasury deposits,
and (ii) national market sources, consisting of relatively short-term
funding sources such as federal funds, securities sold under repurchase
agreements, eurodollar time deposits, short-term bank notes and
commercial paper, and longer-term funding sources such as term bank
notes, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and corporate notes.

Average purchased funds in the first half of 1995 were $14.9 billion, an
increase of 27 percent from $11.8 billion in the first half of 1994. The
increase was used primarily to fund loan growth.

                                   10

<PAGE>

LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt was 94 percent of total stockholders' equity at June 30,
1995, compared with 64 percent at December 31, 1994.

The increase in long-term debt since year-end 1994 was primarily related
to the issuance of $1.1 billion of bank notes with varying rates and
terms to mature in 1997. Additionally, in the first half of 1995, we
issued $300 million of three-year floating rate notes and $250 million
of 40-year, 7 1/2 percent subordinated debentures, which can be redeemed in
whole or in part at the option of the holders in 2005. On August 7,
1995, we issued $250 million of 10-year, 7.05 percent subordinated notes
that are not redeemable prior to maturity. Proceeds from these debt
issues have been used for general corporate purposes.

Under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, we currently have available for issuance $200
million of senior or subordinated debt securities. The sale of any
additional debt securities will depend on future market conditions,
funding needs and other factors.

Debt Obligations

We have a $350 million, three-year committed back-up line of credit that
expires in June 1997. This credit facility contains financial covenants
that require First Union to maintain a minimum level of tangible net
worth, restrict double leverage ratios and require capital levels at
subsidiary banks to meet regulatory standards. First Union is currently
in compliance with these requirements and has not used this line of
credit.

In the second half of 1995, $263 million of long-term debt will mature.
Maturing in 1996 is $1.5 billion, which includes bank notes of $875
million at June 30, 1995.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

At June 30, 1995, common stockholders' equity was $5.74 billion,
compared with $5.40 billion at December 31, 1994. Between year-end 1994
and August 7, 1995, we have paid $606 million for the repurchase of 13.2
million shares of First Union common stock related to the acquisition of
American Savings of Florida and the pending acquisitions of United
Financial, Columbia First, RS Financial and First Fidelity. These shares
have been retired. As of August 7, 1995, we also have purchased 2.7 million
shares of First Fidelity common stock for $170 million and 250,000
shares of First Fidelity convertible preferred stock for $12 million in
connection with the pending First Fidelity acquisition. In
April 1995, the board of directors renewed its authorization for the
purchase from time to time of up to 15 million shares of First Union
common stock. As of August 7, 1995, 6.3 million shares can be purchased
pursuant to such authorization, in addition to up to 7.4 million shares
in connection with the First Fidelity acquisition, or up to 5.5 million
shares of First Fidelity common stock, or some combination thereof.

We paid $165 million in dividends to preferred and common stockholders
in the first half of 1995.

At June 30, 1995, stockholders' equity included an $8 million unrealized
after-tax loss related to debt and equity securities. The Securities
Available for Sale section provides additional information about debt
and equity securities.

Subsidiary Dividends

Our banking subsidiaries are the largest source of parent company
dividends. Capital requirements established by regulators limit
dividends that these and certain other of our subsidiaries can pay. The
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) generally limits a
national bank's dividends in two principal ways: first, dividends cannot
exceed the bank's undivided profits, less statutory bad debt in excess
of a bank's allowance for loan losses; and second, in any year dividends
may not exceed a bank's net profits for that year, plus its retained
earnings from the preceding two years, less any required transfers to
surplus.

Under these and other limitations, our subsidiaries had $153 million
available for dividends at June 30, 1995. Our subsidiaries paid $394
million in dividends to the corporation in the first half of 1995.

Risk-Based Capital

The minimum requirement for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets (including certain off-balance-sheet financial instruments, such
as standby letters of credit and interest rate swaps) is currently 8
percent. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common
equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of qualifying preferred
stock, less certain intangible assets (tier 1 capital). The rest may
consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt, nonqualifying
preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance
(together with tier 1 capital, total capital).

At June 30, 1995, the corporation's tier 1 and total capital ratios were
6.86 percent and 11.58 percent, respectively, compared with 9.30 percent
and 14.68 percent at June 30, 1994. These ratios have declined primarily
as a result of our First Union common stock repurchase program, our
preferred stock redemption, and because we have increased total assets
and intangible assets during the past year. These ratios remain above
regulatory minimums.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage
ratio requirements for bank holding companies. These requirements
provide for a minimum leverage ratio of tier 1 capital to adjusted
average quarterly assets equal to 3 percent for bank holding companies
that meet specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory
rating. All other bank holding companies will generally be required to
maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4 to 5 percent. The corporation's
leverage ratio at June 30, 1995, was 5.74 percent.

The requirements also provide that bank holding companies experiencing
internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain
strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory
levels without significant reliance on intangible assets. The Federal
Reserve Board also has indicated it will continue to consider a tangible
tier 1 leverage ratio (deducting all intangibles) in evaluating
proposals for expansion or new activity. The Federal Reserve Board has
not advised us of any specific minimum leverage ratio applicable to us.

Each subsidiary bank is subject to similar capital requirements adopted
by the OCC. Each subsidiary bank listed in Table 17 had a leverage ratio
in excess of 5.14 percent at June 30, 1995. None of our subsidiary banks
has been advised of any specific minimum capital ratios applicable to
it.

The regulatory agencies also have adopted regulations establishing
capital tiers for banks. Banks in the highest capital tier, or "well
capitalized," must have a leverage

                                   12

<PAGE>

ratio of 5 percent, a tier 1 capital ratio of 6 percent and a total
capital ratio of 10 percent.

At June 30, 1995, the deposit-taking subsidiary banks listed in Table 17
met the capital and leverage ratio requirements for "well capitalized"
banks. We expect to maintain these banks' ratios at the required levels
by the retention of earnings and, if necessary, the issuance of
additional capital. First Union Home Equity Bank is not a deposit-taking
bank.

Failure to meet certain capital ratio or leverage ratio requirements
could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement remedies, including
termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC.

The Accounting and Regulatory Matters section provides more information
about proposed changes in risk-based capital standards.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT


Managing interest rate risk is fundamental to banking. Banking
institutions manage the inherently different maturity and repricing
characteristics of the lending and deposit-taking lines of business to
achieve a desired interest rate sensitivity position and to limit
exposure to interest rate risk. The inherent maturity and repricing
characteristics of our lending and deposit activities create a naturally
asset-sensitive structure. By using a combination of on- and off-balance
sheet financial instruments, we manage the sensitivity of earnings to
changes in interest rates within our established policy guidelines.

The Financial Management Committee of the corporation's board of
directors reviews overall interest rate risk management activity. The
corporation's Funds Management Committee, which includes the
corporation's chief executive officer and president, and senior
executives from our Capital Markets Group, credit and finance areas,
oversees the interest rate risk management process and approves policy
guidelines. Balance sheet management personnel monitor the day-to-day
exposure to changes in interest rates in response to loan and deposit
flows and make adjustments within established policy guidelines.

We measure interest rate sensitivity by estimating the amount of
earnings per share at risk based on the modeling of future changes in
interest rates. Our model captures all assets and liabilities and
off-balance sheet financial instruments, and combines various
assumptions affecting rate sensitivity and changes in balance sheet mix
into an earnings outlook that incorporates our view of the interest rate
environment most likely over the next 24 months. Balance sheet
management and finance personnel review and update continuously the
underlying assumptions included in the earnings simulation model. The
results of the model are reviewed by the Funds Management Committee. The
model is updated at least monthly and more often as appropriate.

Our interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on multiple interest
rate scenarios, projected changes in growth in balance sheet categories
and other assumptions. Changes in management's outlook related to
interest rates and their effect on our balance sheet mix of assets and
liabilities and other market factors may cause actual results to differ
from our current simulated outlook.

                                   13

<PAGE>

We believe our earnings simulation model is a more relevant depiction of
interest rate risk than traditional gap tables because it captures
multiple effects excluded in less sophisticated presentations, and it
includes significant variables that we identify as being affected by
interest rates. For example, our model captures rate of change
differentials, such as federal funds rates versus savings account rates;
maturity effects, such as calls on securities; and rate barrier effects,
such as caps and floors on loans. It also captures changing balance
sheet levels, such as commercial and consumer loans, both floating and
fixed rate, noninterest-bearing deposits and investment securities. In
addition, it considers leads and lags that occur in long-term rates as
short-term rates move away from current levels; the elasticity in the
repricing characteristics of savings and money market deposits; and the
effects of prepayment volatility on various fixed rate assets such as
residential mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and consumer loans.
These and certain other effects are evaluated in developing the
scenarios from which sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest
rates is determined.

We use three standard scenarios in analyzing interest rate sensitivity
for policy measurement. The base-line scenario is our estimated most
likely path for future short-term interest rates over the next 24
months. The "high rate" and "low rate" scenarios assume 100 basis point
shifts from the base-line scenario in the federal funds rate by the
fourth succeeding month and that rates remain 100 basis points higher or
lower through the rest of the 24-month period. Our estimate in July 1995
of the most likely path for future short-term interest rates was that
the federal funds rate would decline to 5.60 percent by June 1996,
followed by a gradual increase to 6.00 percent by May 1997.

We determine interest rate sensitivity by the change in earnings per
share between the three scenarios over a 12-month policy measurement
period. The earnings per share as calculated by the earnings simulation
model under the base-line scenario becomes the standard. The measurement
of interest rate sensitivity is the percentage change in earnings per
share calculated by the model under high rate versus base-line and under
low rate versus base-line. The policy measurement period begins with the
fourth month forward and ends with the 15th month (i.e., the 12-month
period).

Our policy limit for the maximum negative impact on earnings per share
resulting from either the high rate or low rate scenario is 5 percent.
Based on the July 1995 outlook, if interest rates were to decline to
follow the low rate scenario, which means a full 100 basis point
decrease under the base-line, then earnings during the policy
measurement period would be negatively affected by 3.3 percent. Our
model indicates that earnings would be positively affected in our high
rate scenario.

In addition to the three standard scenarios used to analyze rate
sensitivity over the policy measurement period, we also analyze the
potential impact of other interest rate scenarios on corporate earnings
in managing and monitoring our interest rate sensitivity. These
alternate scenarios may include interest rate paths both higher, lower
and more volatile than those used for policy measurement.

While our interest rate sensitivity modeling assumes that management
takes no action, we regularly assess the viability of strategies to
reduce unacceptable risks to earnings resulting not only from the
standard scenarios over which policy period sensitivity is measured, but
also from alternate scenarios.

We regularly analyze strategies to mitigate the negative effect on
earnings of adverse changes in interest rates beyond the rate changes
set forth by our policy measurement criteria.  As new monthly forecast
results become available, management will continue

                                   14

<PAGE>

to formulate strategies to protect earnings from the potential negative
effects of changing assumptions and interest rates.

Off-Balance Sheet Derivatives For Interest Rate Risk Management

As part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy, for many
years we have used off-balance sheet derivatives as a cost- and
capital-efficient way to modify the repricing or maturity
characteristics of on-balance sheet assets and liabilities. Our
off-balance sheet derivative transactions used for interest rate
sensitivity management include interest rate swaps, futures and options
with indices that relate to the pricing of specific core assets and
liabilities of the corporation. We believe we have appropriately
controlled the risk so that the derivatives used for rate sensitivity
management will not have any significant unintended effect on corporate
earnings.

As a result of interest rate fluctuations, off-balance sheet
transactions (and securities) will from time to time develop unrealized
appreciation or depreciation in market values when compared with their
cost. The impact on net interest income attributable to off-balance
sheet transactions, all of which are linked to specific assets and
liabilities as part of our overall interest rate risk management
strategy, will generally be offset by net interest income of on-balance
sheet assets and liabilities.

Our asset sensitivity arises naturally, primarily because the repricing
characteristics of our large core deposit base have a positive effect on
net interest income in a rising rate environment and a negative effect
on net interest income in a declining or low-rate environment.
Conversely, our fixed-rate securities and off-balance sheet instruments
have the opposite effect when rates go up or down. We mitigate our
natural asset sensitivity by holding fixed-rate debt instruments in the
available-for-sale securities portfolio or by holding off-balance sheet
"asset proxies." These asset proxies consist of interest rate swaps that
convert floating rate assets (primarily variable rate loans) to fixed
rate assets. The unrealized appreciation and depreciation of these asset
proxies generally offset the appreciation and depreciation of core
deposits. The combination of securities and interest rate swaps enables
us to achieve a desired level of interest rate sensitivity.

Another common application of off-balance sheet instruments is the use
of interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate debt into floating rate
debt. This is accomplished by entering into interest rate swap contracts
to receive a fixed rate of interest to the contractual maturity of the
debt issued and to pay a variable rate, usually six-month LIBOR. These
"liability swaps," all of which are linked to specific debt issuances,
leave rate sensitivity unchanged, whereas the fixed-rate debt issuance
alone would have increased asset sensitivity or reduced liability
sensitivity. The combination of the liability swaps and debt produces
the desired LIBOR-based floating rate funding regardless of changes in
overall rates.

Our overall goal is to manage the corporation's rate sensitivity in ways
that the earnings momentum is not adversely affected materially whether
rates go up or down.

The important consideration is not the shifting of unrealized
appreciation or depreciation between and among on- and off-balance sheet
instruments, but the prudent management of interest rate sensitivity so
that corporate earnings are not at risk as interest rates move up or
down.

The fair value appreciation of off-balance sheet derivative financial
instruments used to manage our interest rate sensitivity was $78 million
at June 30, 1995, compared with fair value depreciation of $422 million
at December 31, 1994.

                                   15

<PAGE>


The carrying amount of financial instruments used for interest rate risk
management includes amounts for deferred gains and losses related to terminated
positions. The amount of deferred gains and losses from off-balance sheet 
instruments used to manage interest rate risk was $10 million and $21 million,
respectively, as of June 30, 1995. These net losses will reduce net interest 
income by $9 million in 1995 and $2 million in 1996. The increased 
contribution to net interest income in a higher interest rate environment from
on-balance sheet assets and liabilities is expected to substantially
offset the potential reduced contribution to net interest income
reflected by the decline in market value of off-balance sheet derivative
financial instruments.

Although off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments do not
expose the corporation to credit risk equal to the notional amount, we
are exposed to credit risk equal to the extent of the fair value gain in
an off-balance sheet derivative financial instrument if the counterparty
fails to perform. We minimize the credit risk in these instruments by
dealing only with high quality counterparties. Each transaction is
specifically approved for applicable credit exposure.

In addition, our policy is to require all swaps and options be governed
by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement.
Bilateral collateral arrangements are in place for substantially all
dealer counterparties.

Collateral for dealer transactions and derivatives used in our trading
activities is delivered by either party when the credit risk associated
with a particular transaction, or group of transactions to the extent
netting exists, exceeds acceptable thresholds of credit risk. Thresholds
are determined based on the strength of the individual counterparty and
are bilateral. As of June 30, 1995, the total credit risk in excess of
thresholds was $148 million. The fair value of collateral held was 100
percent of the total credit risk in excess of thresholds. For nondealer
transactions, the need for collateral is evaluated on an individual
transaction basis and is primarily dependent on the financial strength
of the counterparty.

ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY MATTERS


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Standard No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which requires
that all creditors value all specifically reviewed loans for which it is
probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the terms of the loan agreement at the present value of
expected cash flows, market price of the loan, if available, or value of
the underlying collateral. Expected cash flows are required to be
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. This Standard is
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The FASB
also has issued Standard No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures," that amends
FASB Standard No. 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for
recognizing interest income on an impaired loan and by requiring
additional disclosures about how a creditor recognizes interest income
related to impaired loans. This Standard is to be implemented
concurrently with Standard No. 114. On January 1, 1995, we adopted the
provisions of Standards No. 114 and 118. The adoption of the Standards
required no increase to the allowance for loan losses and had no impact
on net income in the first half of 1995. The impact to historical and
current amounts related to in-substance foreclosures was not material,
and accordingly, historical amounts will not be restated. The Asset
Quality section includes information about impaired loans.

                                   16

<PAGE>

The FASB has also issued FASB Interpretation No. 39, "Offsetting of
Amounts Related to Certain Contracts," which defines right of set-off
and sets forth the conditions under which that right may be applied.
Specific guidance with respect to certain financial instruments such as
forward, interest rate swap, currency swap, option and other conditional
or exchange contracts and clarification of the circumstances in which it
is appropriate to offset amounts recognized for those contracts in the
statement of financial position is also included in this Interpretation.
In addition, it permits offsetting of fair value amounts recognized for
multiple forward, swap, option and other conditional or exchange
contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting
arrangement. This Interpretation is effective for financial statements
issued for periods beginning after December 15, 1993. The FASB has also
issued FASB Interpretation No. 41, "Offsetting of Amounts Related to
Certain Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements," which modifies
FASB Interpretation No. 39 to permit offsetting in the statement of
financial position of payables and receivables that represent repurchase
agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, respectively, which have
the same settlement date, are executed with the same counterparty in
accordance with a master netting arrangement, involve securities that
exist in "book entry" form, and settle on securities transfer systems
that have the same key operating characteristics as the Federal
Securities Transfer System. This Interpretation is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 31, 1994.
The effect of the corporation's adoption of the provisions of these
Interpretations currently has been immaterial.

The FASB also has issued Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of," which requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of the future
cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition should be performed during a review for recoverability. An
impairment loss (based on the fair value of the asset) is recognized if
the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without
interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset.
Additionally, Standard No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, except for
certain assets. These assets will continue to be reported at the lower
of carrying amount or net realizable value. The periodic effect on net
income, if any, has not been determined. This Standard is required for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.

The FASB also has issued Standard No. 122, "Accounting for Certain
Mortgage Banking Activities," which requires that a mortgage banking
enterprise recognize as separate assets the rights to service mortgage
loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired. A
mortgage banking enterprise that acquires mortgage servicing rights
through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells
or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained should
allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing
rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on
their relative fair values if it is practicable to estimate those fair
values. If it is not practicable to estimate the fair values of the
mortgage servicing rights and the mortgage loans (without the mortgage
servicing rights), the entire cost of purchasing or originating the
loans should be allocated only to the mortgage loans without the
mortgage servicing rights. Additionally, this Standard requires that a
mortgage banking enterprise periodically assess its capitalized mortgage
servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of those rights.
The corporation

                                   17

adopted this Standard on a prospective basis only, beginning on July 1,
1995, and the periodic effect on net income will not be material to the
results of operations.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
(FIRREA), among other provisions, imposes liability on a bank insured by
the FDIC for certain obligations to the FDIC incurred in connection with
other insured banks under common control.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, among other
things, requires a revision of risk-based capital standards. The new
standards are required to incorporate interest rate risk, concentration
of credit risk and the risks of nontraditional activities and to reflect
the actual performance and expected risk of loss of multifamily
mortgages. The Risk-Based Capital section provides information on risk
assessment classifications.

In addition, the FDIC has announced a reduction in the rate that banks
pay to insure domestic deposits beginning with the Bank Insurance Fund
(BIF) premium on September 30, 1995. With respect to First Union's
subsidiary banks, the rate is expected to be reduced from 23 cents to 4
cents per $100 of BIF deposits. The FDIC also will refund, with
interest, the assessments collected at the old rate from the time the
BIF reached its designated reserve ratio of 1.25 percent, which the FDIC
estimated to be sometime in the second quarter of 1995. Deposits that
are subject to assessment by the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF) continue to be assessed at a rate of 23 cents per $100 of
deposits. At March 31, 1995, First Union had a BIF deposit assessment
base of $40.5 billion and a SAIF deposit assessment base of $14.7
billion. Various legislative proposals have been made, but not enacted,
that also would affect the BIF and SAIF premium assessments, including a
one-time special assessment for SAIF deposits that could have a
significant impact. It is uncertain at this time whether or when this or
any other related proposals might be adopted.

Legislation has been enacted providing that deposits and certain claims
for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured
depository institution would be afforded a priority over other general
unsecured claims against such an institution, including federal funds
and letters of credit, in the "liquidation or other resolution" of such
an institution by any receiver.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994
(IBBEA) authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding
companies without geographic limitation beginning September 27, 1995. In
addition, beginning June 1, 1997, a bank may merge with a bank in
another state as long as neither of the states opt out of interstate
branching between the date of enactment of IBBEA and May 31, 1997. IBBEA
further provides that a state may enact laws permitting interstate
merger transactions before June 1, 1997.

The Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994
includes a list of regulatory relief items. The regulatory relief
sections eliminate or modify many regulatory requirements under existing
law.

Various other legislative proposals concerning the banking industry are
pending in Congress. Given the uncertainty of the legislative process,
we cannot assess the impact of any such legislation on our financial
condition or results of operations.

    Included in "Other" at June 30, 1995, are $767,370,000 of securities that
are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The currency exchange
rates were hedged utilizing both on and off-balance sheet instruments to
minimize the exposure to currency revaluation risks.  At June 30, 1995, these
securities had a weighted average maturity of 2.28 years and a weighted average
yield of 6.29 percent. The weighted average U.S. equivalent yield for
comparative purposes of these securities was 4.91 percent based on a weighted
average funding cost differential of (1.38) percent. 


    Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because
borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call
or prepayment penalties.  The aging of mortgage-backed securities is based on
their weighted average maturities at June 30, 1995. Average maturity in years
excludes preferred and common stocks and money market funds. 


    Weighted average yields are based on amortized cost.  Yields related to
securities exempt from both federal and state income taxes, federal income taxes
only or state income taxes only are stated on a fully tax-equivalent basis. 
They are reduced by the nondeductible portion of interest expense, assuming a
federal tax rate of 35 percent; a North Carolina state tax rate of 7.75 percent;
a Georgia and Tennessee state tax rate of 6 percent; a South Carolina state tax
rate of 4.5 percent; a Florida state tax rate of 5.5 percent; a Maryland state
tax rate of 7 percent; and a Washington, D.C. tax rate of 9.975 percent,
respectively. 


    There were commitments to purchase securities at a cost of $291,051,000
that had a market value of $293,161,000 at June 30, 1995. There were no
commitments to sell securities at June 30, 1995.  Gross gains and losses from
sales are accounted for on a trade date basis.  Gross gains and losses realized
on the sale of securites in the first six months of 1995 were $21,672,000 and
$21,551,000, respectively.  Gross gains realized on sundry securities were
$4,757,000.

    The information included herein should be read in conjunction with the
discussion appearing under "Interest Rate Risk Management" and with Tables 19-
21. This interest rate gap table has inherent limitations on its ability to
accurately portray interest rate sensitivity and, therefore, it is only provided
in conjunction with common banking industry practice.  The amounts presented
herein are based on contractual maturities or repricing terms, as appropriate, 
and internally-prepared prepayment assumptions related to certain mortgage 
products, and do not reflect deposit run-off or other assumptions.  
Additionally, in conjunction with such practices, savings and NOW accounts are 
included in the non-sensitive and sensitive over five years classification.  
Money market accounts are included in the 1-90 day classification. 

 *Loans are stated net of unearned income.

                   LETTER  FROM  THE CHAIRMAN

    Strong loan and revenue growth contributed to First Union's record
quarterly earnings in the second quarter of 1995, which also included the
lowest percentage of nonperforming assets to net loans and foreclosed
properties in nine years. 

    First Union earned $249 million, or $1.45 on a per common share basis, for
the second quarter of 1995. This compared with $230 million, or $1.32, in the
first quarter of 1995, and $223 million, or $1.32, in the second quarter a year
ago. Second quarter 1995 results represent a return on average assets (ROA) of
1.25 percent and a return on average common stockholders' equity (ROE) of 17.71
percent. In the first half of 1995, net income applicable to common stockholders
was $479 million, or $2.77 per share, compared with $440 million, or $2.59 per
share, in the first half of 1994. 

    We are pleased with our results, which are at the top of the range we
estimated on June 19 when we announced our pending acquisition of First Fidelity
Bancorporation, a $35 billion-asset banking company based in Newark, N.J., and
Philadelphia, Pa. Our second quarter results confirm that both our fundamental
trends and the revenue-enhancing initiatives we have undertaken in business
units such as Capital Markets have helped produce continued earnings momentum. 

    Key factors in First Union's second quarter 1995 results compared with the
first quarter of 1995 included:

    (Bullet) Tax-equivalent net interest income growth for the 23rd consecutive
quarter, to a record $836 million; 

    (Bullet) Loan growth of 8 percent, to $60.0 billion; 

    (Bullet) A decline in nonperforming assets to .95 percent of net loans and
foreclosed properties; and 

    (Bullet) Noninterest income growth of 8 percent, to $329 million. 

    I am gratified by the continuing support of our stockholders. I would also
like to thank our employees and directors for their invaluable contributions to
the success of First Union.

Sincerely,

(Signature of Edward E. Crutchfield appears here)
Edward E. Crutchfield, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

RETAIL INVESTMENT SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMERS 

    For individual customers, First Union has developed an extensive offering of
financial planning and investment services, including a proprietary family of

First Union has led the banking industry in training and developing its own in-
house investment sales force. On July 7, 1995, First Union's proprietary mutual
fund family was officially renamed "The Evergreen Funds." The Evergreen Funds
have grown to more than $9 billion in assets under management, including the
June 30, 1995, acquisition of most of the Florida-based ABT family of mutual
funds.

    First Union has launched a new nationwide telephone banking service designed

or car loans, request credit cards and conduct other banking transactions by
simply picking up the phone. By year's end, customers will also be able to

CAPITAL MARKETS GROUP INCREASINGLY ACTIVE 

    The Capital Markets Group provides loan syndications, private placements,
asset securitizations, international trade finance, risk management products and
other sophisticated financing solutions for corporate customers. These products
and services are increasingly strong contributors to noninterest income. For
example, during the second quarter of 1995, First Union's Capital Markets Group
completed its first commercial mortgage securitization, a $250 million
transaction that will contribute to noninterest income in the third quarter of
1995. In addition, the Capital Markets Group leveraged the origination
capability of the organization by completing a $65 million private placement of
home equity loans originated by First Union Home Equity Bank. First Union
Capital Markets also has received approval from the Federal Reserve Board to
engage in debt underwriting and dealing activities, one of a select group of
U.S. bank holding companies to receive such powers. 


INTERNATIONAL GROUP FACILITATES CUSTOMERS' TRADE FINANCE 

    First Union also has opened a gateway to facilitate its export/ import
customers' trade between the United States, Latin America and Asia through a new
branch office at Lippobank headquarters in Los Angeles. The office is linked to
First Union's corporate headquarters in North Carolina via satellite. This is
the second partnership that First Union has formed with the Lippo Group. The two
banking companies joined forces in December 1994 to form a jointly owned
deposit-taking company, "First Union HKCB Asia, Ltd." to provide trade finance
services to customers in Hong Kong, mainland China and the United States. 


DIVIDEND INCREASED 13% 

    First Union announced a 13 percent increase in its common stock dividend to
52 cents per share, or $2.08 on an annualized basis, representing the 18th
consecutive year that First Union has increased its dividend. First Union,
including its predecessor Union National Bank, has paid a dividend every year
since 1914. The common stock dividend is payable on September 15, 1995, to
stockholders of record as of August 31, 1995.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(1) The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of the
    results of operations or the combined financial position that would have
    resulted had the Purchase Acquisitions indicated in Note (3) below and the
    First Fidelity acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the 
    periods indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of 
    operations in future periods or the future financial position of the 
    combined entities. Consummation of the First Fidelity acquisition or any 
    of the Purchase Acquisitions is not contingent upon consummation of any 
    other of such acquisitions. Consummation of one or all of the Purchase 
    Acquisitions prior to consummation of the First Fidelity acquisition would 
    not materially impact the results of operations of the Corporation.

(2) It is assumed that the First Fidelity acquisition will be accounted for on a
    pooling of interests accounting basis, and accordingly, the related pro
    forma adjustments herein reflect, where applicable, an exchange ratio of (i)
    1.35 shares of the Corporation's common stock for each of the 81,998,930
    shares of First Fidelity common stock (less 3,345,884 treasury shares) which
    were outstanding at June 30, 1995; and (ii) one share of one of three
    corresponding new series of the Corporation's class A preferred stock for
    each share of the related three series of First Fidelity preferred stock
    outstanding at June 30, 1995, one series of which includes 4,368,848 shares
    of convertible preferred stock, which are currently convertible into
    3,408,138 shares of First Fidelity common stock. The new series of the
    Corporation's class A preferred stock will have substantially identical
    terms as the series being exchanged therefor. The 1.35 exchange ratio is
    subject to possible adjustment under certain circumstances.

    As a result, information was adjusted for the First Fidelity acquisition by
    the (i) addition of 106,181,612 shares of the Corporation's common stock
    amounting to $353,938,000; (ii) elimination of 81,998,930 shares of First
    Fidelity common stock amounting to $81,999,000; (iii) cancellation of
    3,345,884 treasury shares of First Fidelity at a cost of $165,354,000; and
    (iv) recordation of the remaining net amount of $437,293,000 as a reduction
    in paid-in capital at June 30, 1995.

    The pro forma financial information presented herein does not give effect to
    the possible purchase by the Corporation and/or First Fidelity of up to 5.5
    million shares of First Fidelity common stock or 7.4 million shares of the
    Corporation's common stock, or some combination of the two (the "First 
    Fidelity Acquisition Shares"), prior to consummation of the First Fidelity 
    acquisition. From July 3, 1995 through August 7, 1995, the Corporation 
    purchased 2.7 million shares of First Fidelity common stock at a cost of 
    $170 million, and 250,000 shares of FFB convertible preferred stock at 
    a cost of $12 million.

    As of June 30, 1995, the Corporation and First Fidelity had 14,441,144 and
    6,788,278 shares of common stock reserved for issuance, respectively,
    (excluding, as to the Corporation, shares reserved for issuance in
    connection with the First Fidelity acquisition, the Purchase Acquisitions,
    or upon exercise of the rights attached to shares of the Corporation's
    common stock).

    For the six months ended June 30, 1995, First Fidelity had net income
    applicable to common stockholders of $217,872,000.

(3) During the period from January 1, 1994 through August 14, 1995, the
    Corporation completed or had pending at August 14, 1995, the following
    purchase accounting acquisitions (the "Purchase Acquisitions"): (i) the 
    acquisition of BancFlorida Financial Corporation (completed August 1994) 
    with assets of $1.6 billion for 3.6 million shares of the Corporation's 
    common stock valued at $161 million, (ii) the acquisitions of First 
    Florida Savings Bank, FSB (completed in April 1995), Ameribanc Investors 
    Group (completed in April 1995), Coral Gables Fedcorp, Inc. (completed 
    May 1995), and Home Federal Savings Bank of Rome, Georgia (completed 
    August 1995), at an aggregate cost of $623 million in cash, (iii) the 
    acquisitions of American Savings Bank of Florida, FSB (completed July 
    1995) and United Financial Corporation of South Carolina, Inc., Columbia 
    First Bank, FSB, RS Financial Corp. and Brentwood National Bank (each of 
    which is pending at August 14, 1995) for an estimated 16.5 million shares 
    of the Corporation's common stock valued at an estimated $785 million, 
    (iv) the December 1994 purchase of a DE MINIMUS amount of loans, and the 
    purchase of deposits from Chase Manhattan Bank of Florida, N.A. ("Chase") 
    and Great Western Federal Savings Bank ("Great Western"), which in the 
    aggregate amounted to $1.8 billion, at an aggregate cost of approximately 
    $137 million, and (v) the purchase of deposits of Jacksonville Federal 
    Savings Association, Citizens Federal Savings Association, Cobb Federal 
    Savings Association and Hollywood Federal Savings Association from the 
    Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") in the aggregate amount of $640 
    million, at an aggregate cost of $68 million. Purchases of deposits from 
    Chase, Great Western and the RTC do not constitute a sufficient continuity
 
<PAGE>
    of operations, and moreover, additional financial data is not available to
    develop meaningful and reliable pro forma income statement information with
    respect to such purchases.

    Goodwill and deposit base premium of approximately $701 million and $378
    million, respectively, are currently expected to result from the Purchase
    Acquisitions.

    In connection with certain of the foregoing purchase accounting acquisitions
    in which the consideration involved or will involve the issuance of the
    Corporation's common stock, the pro forma financial information presented 
    herein includes actual and assumed repurchases of the Corporation's common 
    stock that in the aggregate amount to 20.5 million shares at a cost of 
    $932 million.

    In April 1995, the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized the purchase
    of up to 15 million shares of the Corporation's common stock, which is in
    addition to the possible purchase of the First Fidelity Acquisition 
    Shares. As of August 7, 1995, the Corporation had authority to purchase up 
    to 6.3 million shares of its common stock, in addition to the First 
    Fidelity Acquisition Shares.

(4) The pro forma adjustment amounts related to the pro forma combined condensed
    statements of income reflect a 5.84 percent and 4.08 percent cost of funds
    for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1994,
    respectively, a six-to-ten year straight-line life related to investment
    securities, a nine-year straight-line life related to loans, a 10-year
    straight-line life related to premises and equipment and mortgage servicing
    rights, a 10-year sum-of-the-years digits method related to deposit base
    premium, and a 25-year straight-line life related to goodwill.

    These adjustments resulted in reductions in interest income, net interest
    income and net interest income after provision for loan losses for the six
    months ended June 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1994 of
    $40,193,000 and $80,286,000, respectively; increases in noninterest expense
    of $20,111,000 and $52,677,000, respectively; reductions in income before
    income taxes of $60,304,000 and $132,963,000, respectively; reductions in
    income taxes of $19,709,000 and $40,535,000, respectively; and reductions in
    net income applicable to common stockholders of $40,595,000 and $92,428,000,
    respectively.

(5) Income per share data has been computed based on the combined historical net
    income applicable to common stockholders of the Corporation, First Fidelity
    and the companies involved in the Purchase Acquisitions using the historical
    weighted average shares outstanding of the Corporation's common stock and
    the weighted average outstanding shares, adjusted to equivalent shares of
    the Corporation's common stock, as of the earliest period presented.

(6) Certain insignificant reclassifications have been included herein to conform
    statement presentations. Transactions conducted in the ordinary course of
    business between the companies are immaterial, and accordingly, have not
    been eliminated.

(7) The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include any material
    expenses or restructuring charges related to the First Fidelity acquisition
    or the Purchase Acquisitions. Such after-tax restructuring charges are
    currently estimated to be $140 million relating to the First Fidelity
    acquisition.

(8) As indicated by the foregoing unaudited pro forma financial information and
    based solely on combined financial information as of June 30, 1995, upon
    consummation of the First Fidelity acquisition and the Purchase
    Acquisitions, the Corporation's historical net income per common share 
    after redemption premium for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and year 
    ended December 31, 1994, would have been diluted by 20 percent and 10 
    percent, respectively. It should not necessarily be assumed, however, that 
    the foregoing data will represent actual dilution with respect to the 
    First Fidelity acquisition and the Purchase Acquisitions.

(9) For purposes of computing the combined ratios of earnings to fixed charges
    of the Corporation and First Fidelity, earnings represent income from
    continuing operations before extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a
    change in accounting principle plus income taxes and fixed charges
    (excluding capitalized interest). Fixed charges, excluding interest on
    deposits, represent interest (other than on deposits, but including
    capitalized interest), one-third (the proportion deemed representative of
    the interest factor) of rents and all amortization of debt issuance costs.
    Fixed charges, including interest on deposits, represent all interest
    (including capitalized interest), one-third (the proportion deemed
    representative of the interest factor) of rents and all amortization of debt
    issuance costs. Pretax preferred stock dividends are included in fixed
    charges when computing the combined ratios of earnings to fixed charges and
    preferred stock dividends.

                                                                       11 of 36
                         SUMMARIZED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         (1)   In Management's opinion, the financial information, which
               is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
               of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
               presentation of the financial information as of and for
               the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
               June 30, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted
               accounting principles.  These financial statements should
               be read in conjunction with First Fidelity
               Bancorporation's ("First Fidelity" or "the Company"
               herein) 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         (2)   Primary earnings per share is based on the weighted
               average number of common shares outstanding during each
               period, including the assumed exercise of dilutive stock
               options and warrants, using the treasury stock method.
               Primary earnings per share also reflects provisions for
               dividend requirements on all outstanding shares of the
               Company's preferred stock.

               Fully diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted
               average number of common shares outstanding during each
               period, including the assumed conversion of convertible
               preferred stock into common stock and the assumed
               exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the
               treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per share
               also reflects provisions for dividend requirements on
               non-convertible preferred stock.

         (3)   As previously reported, effective January 1, 1995, the
               Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
               Standards ("SFAS") 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
               Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS 118, "Accounting by
               Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition
               and Disclosures".  Under SFAS 114 and SFAS 118, impaired
               loans must be measured based on the present value of
               expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's
               effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at
               the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of
               the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
