RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

    Wachovia Corporation ("Wachovia") is a southeastern interstate bank holding
company with dual headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. Principal banking subsidiaries are Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A.,
Wachovia Bank of North Carolina, N.A., and Wachovia Bank of South Carolina,
N.A. The First National Bank of Atlanta provides credit card services
for Wachovia's affiliated banks. 

    During the second quarter of 1996, the economy showed signs of improved but
still moderate growth, on balance, with little evidence of inflation. While
consumer and business spending strengthened, fresh concerns over consumer credit
weakness appeared. Within the corporation's three primary operating states of
Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, business conditions remained
generally favorable. Seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for the quarter
averaged 4.6 percent in Georgia, 4.3 percent in North Carolina and 5.6 percent
in South Carolina compared with 5.4 percent for the nation. 

    Wachovia's net income for the second quarter totaled $159.363 million or
$.94 per fully diluted share. This compared with net income of $162.909 million
or $.95 per fully diluted share in the same period of 1995 which included an
after-tax gain of $47.385 million or $.27 per share from the sale of the
corporation's mortgage servicing portfolio, an after-tax loss of $16.656 million
or $.10 per share from restructuring of the investment securities portfolio to
improve yields and after-tax expenses totaling $11.291 million or $.07 per share
for other expenses related to severance costs, higher consulting fees and
charitable contributions. For the first six months of 1996, net income totaled
$309.233 million or $1.81 per fully diluted share versus $305.065 million or
$1.77 per fully diluted share a year earlier. Annualized returns were 17.49
percent on shareholders' equity and 1.42 percent on assets for the quarter and
16.87 percent and 1.38 percent, respectively, for the first half. The equity and
assets used in calculating returns include unrealized gains or losses, net of
tax, on securities available-for-sale. 

    Expanded discussion of operating results and the corporation's financial
condition is presented in the following narrative and tables. Interest income is
stated on a taxable equivalent basis which is adjusted for the tax-favored
status of earnings from certain loans and investments. References to changes in
assets and liabilities represent daily average levels unless otherwise noted.

                                                                5

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Taxable equivalent net interest income for the second quarter rose $18.057
million or 4.7 percent year over year and increased $34.031 million or 4.5
percent for the first six months of 1996. Higher levels of interest-earning
assets, primarily loans, fueled the gains in both periods which were moderated
by a lower average earning yield and by increases in interest-bearing
liabilities to support asset growth. Compared with the first quarter of 1996,
taxable equivalent net interest income in the second quarter was up $10.373
million or 2.7 percent, reflecting solid loan growth and lower funding costs.
The net yield on interest-earning assets (taxable equivalent net interest
income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets) decreased 20 basis
points for the second period versus a year earlier and 30 basis points for the
first half but improved 4 basis points from the first three months of 1996. 

    Taxable equivalent interest income rose $36.559 million or 4.7 percent for
the second period and $123.265 million or 8.3 percent year to date. Interest-
earning assets expanded $3.700 billion or 10.1 percent for the quarter and
$4.325 billion or 12.2 percent for the first half, more than offsetting the
effects of a 40 basis point and 31 basis point decline, respectively, in the
average rate earned. Taxable equivalent interest income increased $8.517 million
or 1.1 percent from the first quarter, pushed higher by a $584 million or 1.5
percent rise in interest-earning assets but moderated by a 4 basis point
decrease in the average rate earned.

    Loan demand remained good. Loans expanded $2.801 billion or 10.3 percent for
the quarter and $2.897 billion or 10.8 percent for the first six months. Gains
were led by the commercial portfolio with retail loan growth masked partially by
the transfer of $500 million in credit card receivables off the balance sheet
through a securitization in the fourth quarter of 1995. Loans were up $786
million or 2.7 percent from the first three months of 1996. 

    Commercial loans, including related real estate categories, increased $2.144
billion or 13.6 percent for the second quarter compared with a year earlier and
$2.252 billion or 14.6 percent year to date. Growth in both periods was broad
based, led by commercial loans made primarily to small business and middle-
market companies, by commercial mortgages and by lease financing. The gains in
lease financing reflected structured leverage lease transactions for
municipalities. At June 30, 1996, commercial real estate loans, based on
regulatory definitions, totaled $4.939 billion, representing 16.1 percent of the
corporation's loan portfolio. Regulatory definitions for commercial real estate
include loans which have real estate as the collateral but not the primary
consideration in a credit risk evaluation. Commercial mortgages were $4.130
billion, representing 13.5 percent of total loans, and construction loans were
$809 million or 2.6 percent of the total. Comparable amounts one year earlier
were $4.348 billion in commercial real estate, representing 15.4 percent of
total loans, with $3.673 billion in commercial mortgages and $675 million in
construction loans. 

    Retail loans, including residential mortgages, expanded $657 million or 5.8
percent and $645 million or 5.7 percent for the second quarter and first six
months, respectively. Increases were driven primarily by residential mortgages,
particularly adjustable rate mortgages, and by indirect retail loans, which
consists largely of automobile sales financing. Credit card outstandings were up
modestly for both the quarter and

                                                                7

    Investment securities increased $392 million or 4.7 percent for the second
quarter and $786 million or 9.9 percent year to date but were modestly lower
from the first quarter. Gains from year-earlier periods reflected higher levels
of available-for-sale securities, with increases occurring both in U.S.
government and agency securities and in mortgage backed securities. In the
fourth quarter of 1995, the corporation reclassified held-to-maturity
securities with a book value of $2.720 billion to available-for-sale
securities, primarily contributing to the rise in available-for-sale
securities. The corporation made the one-time reclassification following
issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of "A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities." At June 30, 1996, securities available-for-sale totaled
$7.171 billion and securities held-to-maturity were $1.482 billion.

date. Average securities available-for-sale had an unrealized gain of $74.087
million, pretax, and $44.957 million, net of tax, for the second period and
$130.859 million, pretax, and $79.672 million, net of tax, for the first half
of 1996. 

    Interest expense rose $18.502 million or 4.7 percent for the quarter and
$89.234 million or 12.1 percent year to date. Higher levels of interest-bearing
liabilities accounted for the increases in both periods which were moderated by
a lower average rate paid, primarily in the second quarter. Average interest-
bearing liabilities were up $3.560 billion or 11.4 percent for the second period
and $4.170 billion or 13.8 percent for the first six months, while the average
rate paid declined 29 basis points and 8 basis points, respectively. Compared
with the first three months of 1996, interest expense in the second quarter
decreased $1.856 million or under 1 percent, reflecting a 9 basis point drop in
the average rate paid. Average interest-bearing liabilities were higher by $472
million or 1.4 percent from the first quarter. 

    Interest-bearing time deposits increased $1.947 billion or 10.6 percent for
the second period and $2.626 billion or 14.7 percent year to date. Growth in
both periods occurred primarily in savings and money market savings and in large
denomination certificates, with Wachovia's Premiere account, a federally insured
savings account offering money market rates, responsible for most of the gains
in savings and money market savings. Interest-bearing time deposits were lower
by $331 million or 1.6 percent compared with the first quarter of 1996,
primarily due to some runoff in large denomination certificates. 

    Short-term borrowings rose $347 million or 4.4 percent for the quarter and
$505 million or 6.6 percent for the first six months, reflecting higher levels
primarily of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase
agreements. Commercial paper borrowings also expanded in both periods, while
funding from other short-term borrowings, largely short-term bank notes, was
reduced. Short-term borrowings were up $161 million or 2 percent from the first
quarter. 

    Short-term bank notes are part of Wachovia Bank of North Carolina's $16
billion bank note program, consisting of short- and medium-term bank notes.
Originally offered to domestic investors only, the bank note program was
replaced in April with a global note program as part of the corporation's long-
term funding strategy. At June 30, 1996, short-term bank notes totaled $698
million with an average cost of 5.32 percent and an average maturity of 10 days
versus $1.907 billion in outstandings with an average cost of 6.07 percent and
an average maturity of 2.2 months one year earlier. Medium-term bank notes,
classified in long-term debt, were $4.963 billion at second-quarter close 1996
and had an average cost of 5.62 percent and an average maturity of 1.2 years.
Comparable amounts a year earlier were $3.979 billion in outstandings with an
average cost of 5.54 percent and an average maturity of 1.5 years. Included in
the $4.963 billion of medium-term bank notes at June 30, 1996 were $500 million
of five-year floating rate bank notes issued in Europe in May. The notes were
priced to yield three-month LIBOR plus 4 basis points to the investor and were
rated Aa2 by Moody's and AA+ by Standard & Poor's. 

    Long-term debt was higher by $1.266 billion or 26 percent for the second
quarter and $1.039 billion or 21.8 percent year to date with increases occurring
in both medium-term bank notes and in other long-term debt. Included in other
long-term debt is $250 million in 30-year subordinated debentures with a 10-year
put option issued in the fourth quarter of 1995. Compared with the first three
months of 1996, long-term debt rose $642 million or 11.7 percent, reflecting
expansion of medium-term bank notes. 

    Gross deposits averaged $25.761 billion for the second period of 1996, up
$2.040 billion or 8.6 percent from a year earlier, and $25.899 billion for the
first half, higher by $2.708 billion or 11.7 percent. Collected deposits, net of
float, averaged $23.953 billion for the quarter and $24.075 billion year to
date, an increase of $1.968 billion or 8.9 percent and $2.606 billion or 12.1
percent, respectively, from the same periods in 1995.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

    The corporation uses a number of tools to measure interest rate risk,
including monitoring the difference or gap between rate sensitive assets and
liabilities over various time periods, monitoring the change in present value
of the asset and liability portfolios under various rate scenarios and
simulating net interest income under the same rate scenarios. Management
believes that rate risk is best measured by simulation modeling which
calculates expected net interest income based on projected interest-earning
assets, interest-bearing liabilities, off-balance sheet financial instruments
and interest rates. 

    The corporation monitors exposure to a gradual change in rates of 200 basis
points up or down over a rolling 12-month period and an interest rate shock of
an instantaneous change in rates of 200 basis points up or down over the same
period. From time to time, the model horizon is expanded to a 24-month period.
The corporation policy limit for the maximum negative impact on net interest
income from a gradual change in interest rates of 200 basis points over 12
months is 7.5 percent. Management generally has maintained a risk position well
within the policy guideline level. As of June 30, 1996, the model indicated the
impact of a 200 basis point gradual rise in rates over 12 months would
approximate a .1 percent decrease in net interest income, while a 200 basis
point decline in rates over the same period would approximate a .05 percent
increase from an unchanged rate environment. 

    In addition to on-balance sheet instruments such as investment securities
and purchased funds, the corporation uses off-balance sheet derivative
instruments to manage interest rate risk, liquidity and net interest income.
Off-balance sheet instruments include interest rate swaps, futures and options
with indices that directly correlate to on-balance sheet instruments. The
corporation has used off-balance sheet financial instruments, principally
interest rate swaps, over a number of years and believes their use on a sound
basis enhances the effectiveness of asset and liability and interest rate
sensitivity management. 

    Off-balance sheet asset and liability derivative transactions are based on
referenced or notional amounts. At June 30, 1996, the corporation had $1.523
billion notional amount of derivatives outstanding for asset and liability
management purposes, all of which represent interest rate swaps. Credit risk of
off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments is equal to the fair value
gain of the instrument if a counterparty fails to perform. The credit risk is
normally a small percentage of the notional amount and fluctuates as interest
rates move up or down. The corporation mitigates this risk by subjecting the
transactions to the same rigorous approval and monitoring process as is used for
on-balance sheet credit transactions, by dealing in the national market with
highly rated counterparties, by executing all transactions under International
Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements and by using collateral
instruments to reduce exposure. Collateral is delivered by either party when the
fair value of a particular transaction or group of transactions with the same
counter-party on a net basis exceeds an acceptable threshold of exposure. The
threshold level is determined based on the strength of the individual
counterparty. 

    The fair value of all asset and liability derivative positions for which the
corporation was exposed to counterparties totaled $11 million at June 30, 1996.

* Maturity is based upon expected average lives rather than contractual lives.

    Asset and liability transactions are accounted for following hedge
accounting rules. Accordingly, gains and losses related to the fair value of
derivative contracts used for asset and liability management purposes are not
immediately recognized in earnings. If the hedged or altered balance sheet
amounts were marked to market, the resulting unrealized balance sheet gains or
losses could be expected to offset unrealized derivatives gains and losses.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

    At June 30, 1996, nonperforming assets were $72.645 million or .24 percent
of period-end loans and foreclosed property. The total decreased $3.995 million
or 5.2 percent from one year earlier and was down $4.907 million or 6.3 percent
from March 31, 1996. Decreases from both periods reflected lower levels of both
nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties. 

    Included in the June 30, 1996 total were real estate nonperforming assets of
$57.897 million or .62 percent of real estate loans and foreclosed real estate
versus $53.558 million or .64 percent one year earlier and $63.937 million or
 .71 percent at March 31, 1996. Real estate nonperforming loans were $45.391
million at the end of the 1996 second quarter, $37.783 million one year earlier
and $49.547 million at March 31, 1996. 

    Commercial real estate nonperforming assets were $34.498 million or .70
percent of related loans and foreclosed real estate compared with $29.837
million or .69 percent at June 30, 1995 and $33.370 million or .71 percent at
the end of the first quarter. Included in these totals were commercial real
estate nonperforming loans of $27.392 million at June 30, 1996, $23.721 million
one year earlier and $29.815 million at March 31, 1996.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The provision for loan losses was $34.404 million for the second quarter
and $61.738 million for the first six months, up $5.752 million or 20.1 percent
and $11.298 million or 22.4 percent, respectively, from the same periods in
1995 and was higher by $7.070 million or 25.9 percent from the first quarter of
1996. The provision reflects management's assessment of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses to absorb potential write-offs in the loan portfolio
due to a deterioration in credit conditions or change in risk profile. Factors
considered in this assessment include growth and mix of the loan portfolio,
current and anticipated economic conditions, historical credit loss experience
and changes in borrowers' financial positions.

     Net loan losses were $34.327 million or .46 percent annualized of average
loans for the quarter, up $5.808 million or 20.4 percent from $28.519 million 
or .42 percent of average loans a year earlier. For the first half of 1996, 
net loan losses totaled $61.541 million or .42 percent annualized of average 
loans, an increase of $13.602 million or 28.4 percent from $47.939 million or
 .36 percent in the same period of 1995. Higher consumer loan losses, primarily
credit cards, accounted for the increases in both periods. Compared

with the first three months of 1996, net charge-offs in the second quarter
were up $7.113 million or 26.1 percent, reflecting increased credit card 
losses and a combination of higher charge-offs and lower recoveries in real
estate loans. Excluding credit cards, the loan portfolio had net losses of 
$2.583 million or .04 percent annualized of average loans for the quarter 
and $1.919 million or .01 percent year to date versus $7.876 million or 
 .14 percent and $9.068 million or .08 percent in the same respective 
periods of 1995 and net recoveries of $664 thousand or .01 percent in 
the first three months of 1996. 

    Credit card net loan losses for the quarter were $31.744 million or 3.14
percent annualized of average credit card receivables, up $11.101 million or
53.8 percent from a year earlier. For the first half, credit card net charge-
offs totaled $59.622 million or 2.98 percent of average related outstandings, an
increase of $20.751 million or 53.4 percent from the same period in 1995. Real
estate loans had net recoveries of $1.495 million or .07 percent of average
outstandings for the second period and $6.939 million or .15 percent year to
date versus net loan losses of $3.462 million or .17 percent and $2.092 million
or .05 percent, respectively, in 1995. 

    Selected data on the corporation's managed credit card portfolio, which
includes securitized loans, is presented in the following table.

     At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses totaled $409.205 million,
representing 1.33 percent of period-end loans and 741 percent of nonperforming
loans. Comparable amounts were $408.633 million, 1.45 percent and 706 percent,
respectively, one year earlier and $408.928 million, 1.37 percent and 707
percent, respectively, at March 31, 1996. 


NONINTEREST INCOME


    Total other operating revenue grew $32.291 million or 19.4 percent for the
quarter and $59.303 million or 18.3 percent for the first six months. Gains in
both periods were led by deposit account service charge revenues, investment fee
income and electronic banking, with all categories increasing for both the
quarter and first half except mortgage fee income and trading account profits.
Included in the $17.774 million of other income for the second period is $9.575
million from the sale of the corporation's bond trustee business to The Bank of
New York. Excluding this gain, total other operating revenue rose $22.716
million or 13.7 percent for the quarter and $49.728 million or 15.4 percent year
to date and was higher by $4.915 million or 2.7 percent from the first three
months of 1996. 

    Deposit account service charge revenues increased $8.476 million or 16.2
percent for the second period and $16.193 million or 16 percent for the first
half. Gains occurred primarily in overdraft charges, largely reflecting improved
collections, and in commercial account analysis fees. 

    Investment fee income rose $5.438 million or 100.6 percent for the quarter
and $10.490 million or 99.1 percent year to date. Increases reflected growth
primarily in mutual fund activity, loan syndications and administrative agent
fees, along with higher levels of brokerage commissions. 

    Electronic banking revenues, consisting of fees from debit card and ATM
usage, grew $3.722 million or 42 percent for the quarter and $5.817 million or
36.1 percent for the first half. Gains were largely due to higher levels of
debit card interchange income, as well as to fees for ATM usage by noncustomers.


    Credit card income was up $1.981 million or 6.2 percent for the three months
and $5.559 million or 9.1 percent for the first six months. Net revenues
received from cardholder payments on securitized loans, higher overlimit charge
activity and increased interchange income accounted for the growth in both
periods. 

    Trust service revenues rose $1.297 million or 3.9 percent for the quarter
and $4.761 million or 7.4 percent year to date. Growth occurred in the
corporation's proprietary Biltmore mutual funds and in personal

                                                            17

trust services, reflecting stronger sales, higher market values for trust
assets and increased fee schedules. Corporate trust fees were moderately lower. 

    Trading account profits increased modestly for the second period but
declined $2.664 million or 22.5 percent for the first half of 1996. Results in
both periods primarily reflected unfavorable bond market conditions, driven by
concerns over higher interest rates, as well as lower profits in foreign
exchange trading. 

    Mortgage fee income was down $2.258 million or 34.5 percent for the quarter
and $6.311 million or 42.1 percent for the first six months, primarily due to
the loss of servicing fee income from the sale of the corporation's mortgage
servicing portfolio in June 1995. Declines were offset in part by higher levels
of residential mortgage origination fees for both the quarter and first half of
1996. 

    Remaining combined categories of total other operating revenue were up
$13.545 million or 60.6 percent for the second three months and $25.458 million
or 58.3 percent year to date. Insurance premiums and commissions grew $647
thousand or 19.1 percent for the quarter and $1.082 million or 16.2 percent for
the first half, while bankers' acceptance and letter of credit fees were higher
by $366 thousand or 6.4 percent and $705 thousand or 6.2 percent for the three-
and six-month periods, respectively. Other service charges and fees rose $2.361
million or 42 percent for the quarter and $4.556 million or 37.9 percent year to
date, primarily due to contractual revenues received for servicing the
corporation's securitized loan portfolios. Other income increased $10.171
million or 133.8 percent and $19.115 million or 140.1 percent for the second
quarter and first six months, respectively, principally reflecting the gain on
the sale of the bond trustee business. 

    Including investment securities sales and the sale of the corporation's
mortgage servicing portfolio in June 1995, total noninterest income was down
$20.717 million or 9.5 percent for the second quarter but was higher by $7.122
million or 1.9 percent year to date. Investment securities sales resulted in a
net loss of $219 thousand for the quarter versus a net loss of $26.236 million a
year earlier when the corporation sold $1.950 billion of securities available-
for-sale at a loss to improve portfolio yields. For the first half of 1996,
investment securities sales had a net gain of $479 thousand compared with a net
loss of $26.365 million in the same period of 1995.

    NONINTEREST EXPENSE 

      Total noninterest expense was up $3.470 million or 1.1
percent for the quarter and $28.683 million or 4.9 percent year to date.
Increases in both periods occurred primarily in personnel expense, with combined
net occupancy and equipment expense modestly higher and remaining other combined
categories of noninterest expense down. Included in noninterest expense for the
second quarter of 1995 was $18.100 million related to severance costs for
consolidation efforts, higher consulting fees associated with strategic
initiatives and charitable contributions. Compared with the first three months
of 1996, noninterest expense was higher by $1.842 million or less than 1
percent. Noninterest expense represented 51.9 percent of total adjusted

18

<PAGE>


revenues (taxable equivalent net interest income plus total other operating 
revenue) for the quarter and 52.8 percent for the first six months versus 56
percent and 54.7 percent in the same respective periods of 1995 and 53.8 
percent in the first quarter of 1996. 

    Total personnel expense rose $10.175 million or 6.8 percent for the second
three months and $26.830 million or 9.1 percent for the first half. Salaries
expense accounted for most of the growth in both periods, expanding $8.718
million or 7 percent for the quarter and $22.353 million or 9.2 percent year to
date, primarily due to higher salary levels and increased incentive pay to
compensate sales efforts. Employee benefits expense was up $1.457 million or 5.5
percent for the second period and $4.477 million or 8.4 percent for the first
six months. 

    Combined net occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.363 million or 2.8
percent and $4.519 million or 4.6 percent for the quarter and first half,
respectively. Net occupancy expense rose $1.244 million or 5.9 percent for the
three months and $3.732 million or 9.1 percent for the first six months, largely
reflecting higher building depreciation and operating premise lease expenses.
Equipment expense was up modestly for both the quarter and year to date. 

    Remaining other combined categories of noninterest expense decreased $8.068
million or 7.5 percent for the second three months and $2.666 million or 1.4
percent for the first half of the year. Advertising and sales promotion expense
grew $5.755 million or 59 percent for the quarter and $13.414 million or 70
percent year to date, largely due to increased credit card solicitation costs.
Professional services expense rose $1.594 million or 17.4 percent for the second
period and $5.610 million or 37.8 percent for the first six months, reflecting
expenditures for ongoing consulting services related to strategic initiatives.
Regulatory agency fees and other bank services expenses were down $14.361
million or 91.6 percent and $28.797 million or 92.4 percent for the quarter and
first half, respectively, due to the reduction and then elimination of insurance
premiums by the FDIC for well capitalized financial institutions.

INCOME TAXES
         Applicable income taxes were lower by $2.263 million or 2.9 percent
for the quarter and up $7.822 million or 5.7 percent for the first six months.
Income taxes computed at the statutory rate are reduced primarily by the
interest earned on state and municipal debt securities and industrial revenue
obligations. Also, within certain limitations, one-half of the interest income
earned on qualifying employee stock ownership plan loans is exempt from
federal taxes. The interest earned on state and municipal debt instruments is
exempt from federal taxes and, except for out-of-state issues, from Georgia and
North Carolina taxes as well, and results in substantial interest savings for
local governments and their constituents.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RATIOS
    Total assets at June 30, 1996 were $46.049 billion. Interest-earning assets
were $41.140 billion and loans were $30.673 billion. Comparable amounts one
year earlier were $42.867 billion of assets, $38.329 billion of interest-
earning assets and $28.251 billion of loans. At March 31, 1996, assets totaled
$45.425 billion with $40.527 billion of interest-earning assets and $29.869
billion of loans. 

    Deposits at second quarter close 1996 were $25.973 billion, including
$20.515 billion of time deposits, representing 79 percent of the total. Deposits
one year earlier were $23.892 billion with $18.530 billion of time deposits or
77.6 percent of the total, and at March 31, 1996 they were $25.909 billion,
including $20.384 billion of time deposits or 78.7 percent of the total. 

    Shareholders' equity at June 30, 1996 was $3.700 billion, an increase of
$165 million or 4.7 percent from $3.535 billion a year earlier but lower by $29
million or less than 1 percent from the end of the 1996 first quarter. The total
at June 30, 1996 included $24.066 million, net of tax, of unrealized gains on
securities available-for-sale marked to fair market value under FASB 115
compared with $44.556 million, net of tax, one year earlier and $57.338 million,
net of tax, at March 31, 1996. At its meeting on July 25, 1996, the
corporation's board of directors declared a third quarter dividend of $.40 per
share, payable September 3 to shareholders of record on August 6, 1996. The
dividend is higher by 11.1 percent from $.36 per share paid in the same three
months of 1995. For the year to date, the dividend will total $1.12 per share,
an increase of 9.8 percent from $1.02 per share paid in 1995. 

    The corporation was authorized by the board of directors on April 26, 1996
to repurchase up to 8 million shares of its common stock, replacing an earlier
action on July 28, 1995 to repurchase up to 5 million shares. Share repurchase
activity is part of the corporation's capital management strategy designed to
enhance shareholder value over the long-term. In addition, repurchased shares
will be used for various corporate purposes, including share issuance for the
corporation's employee stock plans and dividend reinvestment plan. In the second
quarter of 1996, the corporation repurchased a total of 2,577,400 shares of its
common stock under the current and prior authorization at an average price of
$43.521 per share for a cost of $112.172 million. As of June 30, 1996, 5,600,200
shares remained available for repurchase under the current authorization. 

    Intangible assets at June 30, 1996 were $41.546 million. The total consisted
of $33.312 million of goodwill, $6.186 million of deposit base intangibles, $990
thousand of purchased credit card intangibles and $1.058 million of other
intangibles. Comparable amounts one year earlier were $41.492 million of
intangible assets with $30.216 million of goodwill, $7.753 million of deposit
base intangibles, $2.048 million of purchased

credit card intangibles and $1.475 million of other intangibles. On April 1, 
1996, Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., completed the acquisition of First 
National Bankshares of Henry County, Inc., of Stockbridge, exchanging .4024
of a share of Wachovia common stock for every share of First National 
Bankshares of Henry County, Inc., common stock. Wachovia issued 208,207
shares of common stock in the transaction. 

    Effective January 1, 1996, the corporation prospectively adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (FASB 121). The
adoption of FASB 121 did not have a material impact on the corporation's
financial position or results of operations. 

    In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (FASB 125), which
provides new accounting and reporting standards for sales, securitization, and
servicing of receivables and other financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities. The corporation is presently evaluating the effect of the standard
which will be adopted, as required, for transactions occurring after December
31, 1996. 

    Regulatory agencies divide capital into Tier I (consisting of shareholders'
equity less ineligible intangible assets) and Tier II (consisting of the
allowable portion of the reserve for loan losses and certain long-term debt) and
measure capital adequacy by applying both capital levels to a banking company's
risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items. Regulatory requirements
presently specify that Tier I capital should exclude the market appreciation or
depreciation of securities available-for-sale arising from valuation adjustments
under FASB 115. In addition to these capital ratios, regulatory agencies have
established a Tier I leverage ratio which measures Tier I capital to average
assets less ineligible intangible assets. 

    Regulatory guidelines require a minimum of total capital to risk-adjusted
assets ratio of 8 percent with one-half consisting of tangible common
shareholders' equity and a minimum Tier I leverage ratio of 3 percent. Banks
which meet or exceed a Tier I ratio of 6 percent, a total capital ratio of 10
percent and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered well-capitalized
by regulatory standards. 

    At June 30, 1996, the corporation's Tier I to risk-adjusted assets ratio was
9.05 percent with total capital 13.04 percent of risk-adjusted assets. The Tier
I leverage ratio was 8.12 percent.

          results that may be expected for the entire year.
