INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Savings and Thrift Plan Committee
Branch Banking and Trust Company:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Savings and Thrift Plan for the Employees of Branch Banking and
Trust Company (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1994 and 1993 and changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The
supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

SAVINGS AND THRIFT PLAN FOR THE EMPLOYEES
OF BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1994 and 1993
(1) Formation of the Plan and Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Formation of the Plan
---------------------
The Savings and Thrift Plan for the Employees of Branch Banking and Trust
Company (the "Plan") is sponsored by Branch Banking and Trust Company (the
"Bank"). The Plan was established July 1, 1982 for the purpose of promoting
the future economic welfare of the Bank's employees.
The Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") is sponsored by the Bank's
parent, BB&T Financial Corporation ("BB&T"). ESOPs were established in 1991
as leveraged plans for the employees of the Gate City Federal Savings and
Loan Association and the Albemarle Savings and Loan Association, both of
which were acquired by BB&T during 1991. An ESOP was also established in
1992 as a leveraged plan for the employee of Peoples Federal Savings and
Loan Association. During 1993, ESOPs were established as leveraged plans
for the employees of Carolina Savings Bank. Edenton Savings and Loan
Association, Mutual Savings Bank of Rockingham, and Citizens of
Mooresville, all of which were acquired BB&T in 1993. The ESOP is a
separate fund of the Plan and is only for the employees of these acquired
institutions.
(b) Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting.
The ESOP purchased BB&T common shares using the proceeds of notes payable
to BB&T (see note 10), and holds the stock in a trust established under the
Plan. The notes are to be repaid over a period of five years by Bank
contributions to the trust fund. As the ESOP makes each payment of
principal, an appropriate percentage of stock will be allocated to eligible
employees' accounts in accordance with applicable regulations under the
Internal Revenue Code. Shares vest fully upon allocation.
The notes are collateralized by the unallocated shares of stock and are
guaranteed by the Bank. BB&T Financial Corporation has no rights against
shares once they are allocated under the ESOP. Accordingly, the financial
statements of the Plan present separately the assets and liabilities and
changes therein pertaining to:
(a) the accounts of employees with vested rights in allocated stock
(Allocated), and
(b) stock not yet allocated to employees (Unallocated).
(c) Investments in Securities
-------------------------
Investments in securities are stated at fair value. The fair value of
marketable securities is based on published quotations obtained from
national securities exchanges. Investments in mutual funds are valued at
fair value based on quoted market prices of the underlying fund securities.
Bank investment contracts are stated at contract value.
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Continued
---------
(d) Investments in Participant Loans
--------------------------------
Investments in participant loans are stated at cost. Adjustments necessary
to reflect the fair value of the loans would not be material to the
financial statements.
(e) Accounting Developments
-----------------------
The AICPA has issued Statement of Position (SOP) 94-4, Reporting of
Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined-
Contribution Pension Plans. The SOP specifies the accounting for health and
welfare benefit plans and defined-contribution pension plans for investment
contracts issued by either an insurance enterprise or other entity.
Defined-contribution plans, including both health and welfare and pension
plans, should report investment contracts with fully benefit-responsive
features at contract value and other investment contracts at fair value.
The SOP also permits health and welfare benefit plans and defined
contribution pension plans to report contracts that incorporate mortality
or morbidity risk at contract value.
A fully benefit-responsive investment contract provides a liquidity
guarantee by a financially responsible third party of principal
and previously accrued interest for liquidating transfers, loans or
hardships withdrawals initiated by plan participants. The SOP provides
further guidance, including examples of contract terms that fully benefit-
responsive.
This SOP is effective for financial statements for the plan years beginning
after December 15, 1994, except that the application of this SOP to
investment contracts entered into before December 31, 1993, is delayed to
plan years beginning after December 15, 1995. Earlier application is
encouraged.
(2) Participation in Plan
---------------------
The Plan covers all employees who meet the age and service requirements.
Under the terms of the Plan, employees are eligible to participate in the
Plan at age 21 with one year of continuous employment in which they have
worked at least 1,000 hours. Participation in the Plan is based on
voluntary election by each employee.
The employees of the aforementioned acquired institutions are the only
participants in the ESOP.
(3) Contributions
-------------
Contributions to the Plan are made monthly by employees in amounts equal to
whole percentages, from 1% to 16%, of their monthly compensation. The Bank
makes matching contributions of 100% of the first 2%, and 50% of the next
4% of each participant's compensation contributed to the Plan.

(4) Vesting and Termination of Plan
-------------------------------
Participants are fully vested in their accounts at all times. Although it
has not expressed an intent to do so, the Bank has the right to discontinue
its contributions at any time or to terminate the Plan. In the event of
Plan termination, the assets would be distributed in accordance with the
Plan documents.
(5) Investment Election
-------------------
The Plan offers five investment options for employee contributions: the
Money Market fund, the Fixed income fund, the Equity fund, Bank investment
contracts (which invest in five year guaranteed income contracts of the
Bank) and the BB&T Financial Corporation common stock fund. Each
participant may elect to direct employee and employer contributions to any
combination of the funds. Participants may change their investment
elections once each quarter.
The Plan permits a participant to borrow up to 50% of his or her account
balance, but not more than the lesser of one-half of the value of the
account balance, not to exceed $50,000, or $50,000 minus the participant's
highest outstanding loan amount of the prior twelve months. The minimum
loan amount is $1,000. Only one loan can be made during any Plan year and a
participant may have only one loan outstanding at any time. The interest
rate to be paid on the amounts borrowed is equal to the Bank's prime
lending rate plus one percent at the time of the loan.
(6) Withdrawals
-----------
Under terms of the Plan, a participant is allowed to withdraw certain funds
from his account twice a year. Upon retirement, a participant may elect to
have distributions paid from his account in (1) installments over a period
not to exceed the longer of fifteen years, the participant's life
expectancy, or the life expectancy of the participant and beneficiary, (2)
a lump sum, or (3) any combination of the two.
(7) Determination of Participants' Account Balances
-----------------------------------------------
Participants' account balances are determined monthly as follows:
(a) Employee and matching employer contributions for each month are added
to the participants' accounts for each type of investment fund.
(b) Participants' accounts are reduced by amounts withdrawn.
(c) Earnings from each investment fund are allocated within that fund as
specified by the Plan. Income earned in the Fixed Income Fund or the
Equity Fund is added to the principal of the Fund and reinvested as a
part thereof. Dividends received on BB&T Financial Corporation common
stock are credited to participants' accounts based on the number of
shares of stock held for each participant electing to invest in stock.
Earnings from other investments are allocated based upon the ratio
that each participant's adjusted account balance as defined by the
Plan bears to the total of all participants' account balances.

(9) Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
The Internal Revenue Service issued its latest determination letter on
January 6, 1987 which stated that the Plan and its underlying trust
qualify, in form, under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code and therefore are exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan and its
underlying trust have been amended to conform with current tax law changes.
The amended plan instruments will be submitted to the Internal Revenue
Service for a letter of determination that the Plan continues to qualify as
exempt from Federal taxes. In the opinion of the Plan Administrator, the
Plan and its underlying trust have operated within the terms of the Plan
and remain qualified under the applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code.
