BB&T's third quarter earnings before nonrecurring charges increase 16.9%

     WINSTON-SALEM,  N.C. -- BB&T  Corporation  (NYSE:BBK)  today reported third
quarter 1997 earnings of $103.9 million excluding  charges primarily  associated
with completing the acquisition of United Carolina Bancshares Corporation (UCB).

     Recurring  earnings for the three months ended Sept. 30, 1997,  reflected a
15.3%  increase over third  quarter 1996  recurring  earnings of $90.1  million.
Fully  diluted  recurring  earnings per share were $.76 in the third  quarter of
1997,  a 16.9%  increase  over the $.65 per share  earned  in the  corresponding
period of 1996.  Recurring  earnings for the third  quarter of 1997  produced an
annualized  return on average  assets of 1.52% and a return on average equity of
19.58%, compared to prior year ratios of 1.44% and 18.20%, respectively.

     The nonrecurring  charges totaled $58.3 million before taxes, net of a gain
from the  divestiture of 23 UCB and BB&T branch offices  required by the Federal
Reserve Board. These charges included costs associated with the consolidation of
branch offices and bank  operating  functions,  severance pay, early  retirement
packages and other expenses necessary to accomplish the UCB merger.

     For the nine months  ended Sept.  30,  1997,  net income  exclusive  of the
nonrecurring charges totaled $299.2 million, an increase of 14.2% over recurring
earnings for the nine-month period a year earlier.  On a fully diluted per share
basis,  earnings  were $2.15 for the first three  quarters of 1997,  compared to
$1.88 in the prior year, an increase of 14.4%.


                                                       MORE

     Including the nonrecurring charges, BB&T's net income for the third quarter
of 1997 totaled  $61.3  million,  or $.45 per fully diluted  share,  compared to
$68.3 million, or $.49 per share in 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, net
income was $256.5 million, or $1.84 on a fully diluted per share basis, compared
to $240.2 million, or $1.72 per share last year.

     "We are very pleased with our third quarter core earnings  performance  and
our successful  completion of the UCB merger," said Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer  John  A.  Allison.   "This  merger   provides  BB&T  with   significant
opportunities  to further  improve our  efficiency  and to enhance our  revenues
through the  cross-sell  of BB&T's  array of products and services to former UCB
clients.  While  we  absorbed  substantial  one-time  costs in  connection  with
completing the merger during the third quarter, these expenses were in line with
our  expectations.  We anticipate future cost savings to be realized as a result
of this merger to add approximately $70 million to annual pretax earnings."

     On May 6,  BB&T  announced  plans  to  purchase  Virginia  First  Financial
Corporation of Petersburg, Va. Virginia First operates 24 banking offices and 12
mortgage  loan  production  centers in Virginia and Maryland.  The  acquisition,
which is  expected  to be  completed  during  the fourth  quarter of 1997,  will
increase the total assets of BB&T's Virginia bank to approximately $2 billion.

On Aug. 7, BB&T announced the consummation of its acquisition of Refloat Inc. of
Mount Airy,  N.C. and its principal  subsidiary,  Sheffield  Financial  Corp., a
finance  company  that  specializes  in  loans  to small  commercial  lawn  care
businesses across the country.  The transaction will provide BB&T with access to
the  national  credit  market and an  opportunity  to  significantly  expand the
business and explore similar opportunities.
On Oct. 1, BB&T completed its  acquisition of Craigie  Incorporated of Richmond,
Va. Craigie specializes in securities  origination,  trading and distribution in
both public and private markets. "This acquisition allows BB&T to diversify into
the investment  banking  business," said Mr. Allison.  "With Craigie's record of
superior  underwriting and advisory services,  as well as overall sales, trading
and operations,  we can expand the  high-quality  services we offer to corporate
and municipal clients."
     BB&T had $27.2  billion in assets and 486 banking  offices in the Carolinas
and Virginia as of Sept. 30, 1997.  All amounts  included in this report reflect
the July 1, 1997, merger of UCB into BB&T Corporation in a transaction accounted
for as a pooling of interests.

     BB&T's  common  stock is traded on the New York  Stock  Exchange  under the
trading  symbol BBK.  The  closing  price of BB&T's  common  stock on Oct. 9 was
$56.75 per share. For additional information about BB&T's financial performance,
