(b)      Pro forma financial information

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of September
30, 1997, combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of NationsBank and
Barnett as if the Merger had been effective on September 30, 1997, after giving
effect to certain adjustments described in the attached Notes to Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Financial Information. NationsBank's acquisition of Boatmen's
Bancshares Inc. ("Boatmen's") was completed on January 7, 1997 and is reflected
in NationsBank's September 30, 1997 unaudited historical balance sheet.
 
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, and the year ended December 31, 1996 present the
combined results of operations of NationsBank, Barnett and Boatmen's as if the
Merger and the Boatmen's acquisition had been effective at January 1, 1996,
after giving effect to certain adjustments described in the attached Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information. The unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
present the combined results of operations of only NationsBank and Barnett as if
the Merger had been effective at the beginning of each period, after giving
effect to certain adjustments described in the attached Notes to Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Financial Information.
 
     The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information and accompanying
notes reflect the application of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting
for the Merger. Under this method of accounting, the recorded assets,
liabilities, shareholders' equity, income and expenses of NationsBank and
Barnett are combined and reflected at their historical amounts.
 
     The Boatmen's transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of Boatmen's have been
included in the NationsBank historical financial statements from the date of
acquisition. Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price was
allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated
fair values at the closing date of the transaction. The amount of the purchase
accounting adjustments included in these unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial
Statements are based on actual information known to date.
 
     The combined company expects to achieve substantial merger benefits in the
form of operating cost savings. The pro forma earnings, which do not reflect any
direct costs or potential savings which are expected to result from the
consolidation of operations of NationsBank and Barnett, are not indicative of
the results of future operations. The 1996 pro forma earnings do not reflect any
direct costs or potential savings from the consolidation of operations of
Boatmen's. No assurances can be given with respect to the ultimate level of
expense savings.
 
     The pro forma condensed financial information does not include the effects
of NationsBank's acquisition of First Federal Savings Bank of Brunswick, Georgia
which was completed April 15, 1997, or its acquisition of Montgomery Securities,
which was completed on October 1, 1997. These acquisitions are not significant
to the historical financial position or results of operations of NationsBank
either individually or in the aggregate.

                        NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

      (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, SHARES IN THOUSANDS, PER SHARE AMOUNTS ACTUAL)
 
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     On August 29, 1997, NationsBank entered into an agreement and plan of
merger pursuant to which Barnett Banks, Inc. ("Barnett") will be merged with a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NationsBank (the "Merger"). Barnett is a multi-bank
holding company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida with approximately $43.2
billion in assets, $32.9 billion in deposits and $3.6 billion in shareholders'
equity at September 30, 1997. The agreement calls for a tax-free exchange of
1.1875 shares of NationsBank common stock for each share of Barnett common
stock.
 
     The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been prepared
assuming that the Merger will be accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method and is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of
NationsBank and Barnett. Certain amounts in the historical financial statements
of Barnett have been reclassified to conform with NationsBank's historical
financial statement presentation.
 
     On January 7, 1997 NationsBank completed the acquisition of Boatmen's
Bancshares, Inc. ("Boatmen's"), headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, resulting
in the issuance of approximately 195 million shares of NationsBank's common
stock valued at $9.4 billion and aggregate cash payments of $371 million to
Boatmen's shareholders. At the acquisition date, Boatmen's total assets and
deposits were approximately $41.2 billion and $32.0 billion, respectively. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 
     The pro forma adjustments represent management's best estimate based on
available information at this time. Actual adjustments will differ from those
reflected in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.
NationsBank and Barnett are still in the process of reviewing their respective
accounting policies relative to those followed by the other entity. As a result
of this review, it might be necessary to restate certain amounts in
NationsBank's or Barnett's financial statements to conform to those accounting
policies that are most appropriate. In management's opinion, any such
restatements will not be material.
 
     The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the
related notes thereto of each of NationsBank and Barnett incorporated by
reference herein. The Barnett Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996 should be read in conjunction with the Barnett Current Reports
on Form 8-K filed September 12, 1997 and September 24, 1997.
 
NOTE 2 -- MERGER AND INTEGRATION COSTS
 
     In connection with the Merger, NationsBank expects to incur pre-tax
merger-related costs of approximately $700 million ($495 million after-tax),
which will include approximately $240 million in severance, relocation and
change in control payments, $270 million of conversion costs and occupancy and
equipment expenses (primarily lease exit costs and the elimination of duplicate
facilities and other capitalized assets), $100 million of exit costs related to
contract terminations and $90 million of other Merger costs (including legal and
investment banking fees).
 
     In connection with the Merger, Barnett expects to incur a pre-tax charge of
approximately $250 million ($160 million after-tax) related to the Barnett
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (which becomes vested and accruable on a
change in control), investment banking fees and other Merger costs. The approval
of the Merger by Barnett's shareholders constitutes a change in control under
the Barnett Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. These amounts, including the
related tax effect, have been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1997 and are not reflected in the Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Income as they are not expected to have a
continuing impact on the combined company.

                  CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- CONTINUED
 
NOTE 3 -- DIVESTITURES
 
     NationsBank anticipates that, in order to comply with what the Federal
Reserve Board, the Department of Justice and certain Florida authorities may
require in connection with their review of the Merger, the combined company will
divest branches of Barnett with loans and deposits aggregating approximately
$1.1 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, in various markets in Florida.
NationsBank expects to receive a premium of 15 percent of deposits on such
divestitures. Such divestitures have been included in the unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Balance Sheet. The amount of any required divestitures has not yet
been finally determined, and there can be no assurance the divestitures
exceeding $1.9 billion will not be required.
 
     The estimated impact of anticipated branch divestitures on net income
included in the unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 is
based on information available at this time and was estimated using Barnett's
historical interest yields and rates, ratio of service charges on deposit
accounts to average deposits and costs directly related to operating the
branches to be divested. The actual impact of anticipated branch divestitures
will differ from that reflected in the unaudited Pro Forma Statements of
Income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
 
NOTE 4 -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     In conjunction with the Merger, NationsBank will exchange 1.1875 shares of
its common stock for each share of common stock of Barnett. Barnett had
192,870,753 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 1997. The
common stock in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet has been
adjusted to reflect the reclassification of Barnett's surplus to conform to
NationsBank's presentation. Pro forma condensed retained earnings reflects the
adjustments for anticipated merger-related costs and divestitures as described
above.
 
NOTE 5 -- OPERATING COST SAVINGS
 
     The combined company expects to achieve substantial cost savings through
the optimization of delivery systems, reduction of corporate overhead,
elimination of redundant staff functions, consolidation of business lines, data
processing and back office operations, infrastructure and vendor leverage and
the elimination of certain duplicate or excess office facilities. Approximately
50 percent of the operating cost savings are expected to be achieved by the end
of 1998 with the remainder achieved in 1999. No adjustment has been included in
the unaudited pro forma financial information for the anticipated operating cost
savings. There can be no assurance that anticipated operating cost savings will
be achieved in the expected amounts or at the times anticipated.
 
NOTE 6 -- BOATMEN'S ACQUISITION
 
     The unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the Boatmen's
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The cash component of the
purchase price is assumed to equal 35% of the purchase price (the actual amount
paid at closing plus share repurchases completed through August 1997) and is
funded through the issuance of additional debt securities. The Unaudited Pro
Forma Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 1996 also reflects the
impact of the purchase accounting adjustments including the fair value
adjustments related to investment securities, accrued expenses and other
liabilities, other intangible assets and mortgage servicing rights.

adjustments reflected in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income:
 
     Securities -- Accrete the discount into interest income on a straight-line
method over the estimated maturities of the affected securities, 3 years.
 
     Mortgage Servicing Rights -- Amortize the excess of fair value over
carrying value on a straight-line method over the estimated maturities of the
underlying mortgages, 7 years.
 
     Intangibles -- Amortize the identifiable intangible value as noninterest
expense over 10 years and goodwill on a straight-line basis over 25 years.
 
NOTE 7 -- INCOME TAXES

rate.
