FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SOUTHERN NATIONAL REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER

  WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Southern National Corporation reported net income of
$57.3 million for the second quarter ended June 30.  Fully diluted earnings 
per share for the quarter were $.53. Earnings for the six months ended June 30 
were $44.7 million, or $.41 per fully diluted share.

  Exclusive of nonrecurring charges of $104.4 million, securities losses of
$19.8 million and a gain on the sale of branches of $13.0 million that were
recorded during the first six months of 1995, Southern National would have had
net income after tax of $117.4 million, a 4.7% increase over the first six
months of 1994.  The first six months results of operations, excluding
nonrecurring items, provided returns of 1.18% on assets and 16.0% on common
equity.  Net income for the second quarter, excluding nonrecurring items, was
$59.4 million, which created fully diluted earnings per share of $.55.
                                                                            
  Asset quality remained strong through the second quarter as nonperforming
assets decreased from $74.1 million at June 30, 1994, and $59.7 million at March
31, 1995, to $57.7 million on June 30, or .28% of total assets.  Net charge-offs
for the first six months were only .14%. The allowance for loan and lease losses
was increased to $176.2 million, or 1.28% of loans and leases, compared to
$174.2 million, or 1.30%, at the end of the first quarter.
                                                                               
  In releasing earnings, John A. Allison, chairman and chief executive officer,
said, "On May 30, 1995, the new BB&T banking network began operations after the
combination of the operating systems of BB&T and Southern National.  This
conversion was the final step in integrating the subsidiary banks into a high
performance organization which can prosper in an extremely competitive banking
environment.                                                                   

"The second quarter results of operations include expenses related to the 
merger and conversion of the banking systems.  The corporation also benefited
from a gain on the divestiture of branches during the quarter.  Our primary goal
for the quarter was to complete the systems conversion with minimal
inconvenience for our customers.  Considering the magnitude and complexity of
the transaction, I am delighted with what we have accomplished.  One of the most
impressive facts is that we increased the number of customer accounts during the
weeks when the systems conversion was being implemented.  In addition, loan
growth has remained strong.
                                                                               
  "For the remainder of 1995, we will turn our attention to achieving the
efficiencies inherent in the merger and increasing our revenues through the
cross selling of products and services to our customers.  We estimate that
annual cost savings of approximately $65 - $68 million will be realized."
                                                                         
  Southern National had consolidated assets of $20.7 billion, consolidated loans
of  $13.8 billion and consolidated deposits of $14.3 billion at the end of June.
Through  its  subsidiaries  in  North Carolina,  South  Carolina  and  Virginia,
Southern National currently operates 452 banking offices.
                                                                               
Common stock of Southern National Corporation is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol SNB.  The stock closed at $24.00 on July 26.
