NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. GENERAL
     The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial statements include the 
accounts of the Corporation and all of its subsidiaries. The Corporation's 
subsidiaries are predominantly engaged in banking. Foreign banking activities
and operations other than banking are not significant. All material
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations for each of the periods.
Certain amounts previously reported in 1993 have been reclassified for
comparative purposes.

2. ACQUISITIONS
     On June 17, 1994, FNB Financial Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee, (a
one bank holding company of the First National Bank of Knoxville) was
acquired for cash of $1,442,417 and common stock amounting to 342,295 shares.
On the date of the acquisition, FNB Financial Corporation's assets were
$100.2 million and its shareholders' equity was $7.9 million. The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase, and goodwill of $6.9 million, which is to be
amortized over 10 years, was recorded as a result of the acquisition.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
     Earnings per share of common stock for the six months ended June 30,
after giving effect to dividends on preferred stock of $26,000 in 1994 and
$27,000 in 1993, are based on 32,555,000 and 32,507,000 average shares

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   We are pleased to report an increase in second quarter earnings to
$29,029,000 as compared to the first quarter earnings of $28,816,000.
Earnings per share were unchanged from the $.89 earned in the first quarter
but were down 1% from the record $.90 per share and $29,292,000 earned in the
second quarter of 1993. These earning levels continue to place First Virginia
as one of the top earning banking organizations among the 100 largest banks
in the country. For the quarter, earnings resulted in a 1.62% return on
average assets and a 16.11% return on average shareholders' equity.

                                         10

   For the first six months, net income of $57,845,000 or $1.78 per share was
down 1% as compared to the $58,512,000 or $1.80 per share earned in the first
six months of 1993. Net income before taxes increased slightly as compared to
1993; however, due to the increase in the corporate tax rate enacted in
August of 1993, after-tax earnings declined slightly.
   Record loan production volumes were achieved in the second quarter.
Average loans increased 11% as compared to the second quarter of 1993, and
increased at an annualized rate of 29% as compared to the end of the first
quarter of 1994 and excluding the loans acquired in the merger with FNB
Financial Corporation. All categories of loans participated in the increase,
with particular strength in the Corporation's specialty areas of indirect
automobile financing and home equity loans. Commercial loans were also strong
as floor plan loans to automobile dealers, construction loans for residential
developments, and general demand for business loans were robust due to the
strengthening economy. Loan growth began to slow late in the quarter but was
still advancing at a strong pace. The strong growth in loans increased the
loan/deposit ratio 7 percentage points to 72% as compared to 65% at the end
of the prior year's second quarter. The Corporation's long term goal is to
increase the loan/deposit ratio to the 80% level.
   Deposit growth continued to be modest as average outstandings increased 3%
as compared to the prior year's second quarter. Encouragingly, core deposit
areas continued to grow at a relatively healthy pace, and by quarter's end
consumer certificates of deposit also began growing for the first time in
several years. Demand deposits increased 8% as compared to the prior year's
second quarter, and NOW accounts were up 7% while consumer savings accounts
increased at an 8% pace. Increases in interest rates in general have resulted
in some consumers looking to investments yielding higher rates than bank
deposits.
   The change in the mix of assets away from investment securities and into
higher-yielding loans and an increase in interest rates in general helped to
increase net interest income for the quarter over both the prior year's
second quarter and the first quarter of 1994. Due to a slight asset-sensitive
position, the Corporation benefits from increases in interest rates and
coupled with the strong loan growth, the compression in the net interest
margin anticipated earlier this year has not occurred. The Corporation should
enjoy a flat to increasing margin for the remainder of the year. In the
second quarter, the net interest margin of 5.32% was up slightly over the
5.28% margin achieved in the first quarter, although it was down 20 basis
points as compared to the second quarter of 1993.
   Asset quality continued to improve from its already excellent levels. Net
loan charge-offs declined 12% as compared to the prior year's second quarter
and represented an annualized rate of .12% of average loans in the second
quarter as compared to the .15% rate in the 1993 second quarter. For the
first six months of 1994, net loan charge-offs are down 16%. The provision
for loan losses increased 83% as compared to the prior year's second quarter
to $3.702 million and was up significantly as compared to the first quarter
of 1994. This increase in the provision was due entirely to the dramatic
increase in the volume of loans outstanding as actual charge-offs,
nonperforming loans, and delinquencies all declined. As of June 30 1994, the
allowance for loan losses amounted to $53.472 million or 1.19% of loans,
which was down two basis points from the March 31, 1994 ratio, and down 11
basis points from the June 30, 1993 percentage. The allowance covers net
charge-offs 11.3 times and represents 211% of nonperforming assets at June
30, 1994.




                                         11

   Nonperforming assets declined an additional 4% in the second quarter of
1994, as compared to the first quarter. Loan delinquencies also declined and
are at record low levels.

   Noninterest income increased 13% as compared to the second quarter of 1993
and was up 8% over the first quarter of 1994. During the second quarter, a
package of mortgage servicing rights was sold at a gain of $2.4 million. The
Corporation typically bundles and sells one package of mortgage servicing
rights each year from loans originated by its mortgage loan subsidiary. By
bundling the sale into one package rather than selling the loans individually
with servicing released, the Corporation achieves a higher rate of return. In
1993, a package was sold in the fourth quarter. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased 6% over the prior year's second quarter due to a greater
number of accounts outstanding and increased activity.
   Noninterest expenses increased at a 3% rate in both the second quarter and
for the first six months which was consistent with the general rate of
inflation. Advertising expenses increased 21% over 1993 due to promotions in
connection with loan campaigns. The Corporation had an efficiency ratio of
57.9% in the second quarter, reflecting the continued tight controls over
expenses that the company maintains.
   The provision for income taxes increased 6% as compared to the previous
year's second quarter, primarily due to an increase in the federal income tax
rate from 34% to 35%. The effective tax rate of 32.71% increased 128 basis
points over the 31.43% rate achieved in the first six months of 1993 due to
the increase in the federal income tax rate and to a decline in the
proportion of interest income coming from tax-exempt municipal securities.
   Shareholders' equity grew 13% to $740 million, which was more than the 5%
growth in assets, and the book value per share totaled $22.55. The
Corporation's Tier I leverage ratio increased 77 basis points to 10.06%
making First Virginia one of the five best capitalized banks in the country.
   The Corporation generally does not sell any of its securities before they
mature and has the intention and ability to continue to do so. Accordingly,
all of the Corporation's securities are classified as held-to-maturity, and
no adjustment has been made to either earnings or shareholders' equity for
changes in market value. The Corporation maintains a liquid and short-term
position in most of its assets and liabilities. Accordingly, it does not need
to engage in any hedging or swap transactions nor does it employ any
derivative instruments.

                     Independent Accountants' Review Report

     Board of Directors
     First Virginia Banks, Inc.

     We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First  
     Virginia Banks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, the
     related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-
     month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated
     statements of shareholders' equity and cash flows for the six-month
     periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. These financial statements are
     the responsibility of the Corporation's management.

     We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by
     the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of
     interim financial information consists principally of applying
     analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of
     persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
     substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
     generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the
     full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
     financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express
     such an opinion.

     Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications    
     that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
     auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of First Virginia
     Banks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related
     consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
     for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated
     January 13, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
     consolidated financial statements.
