BB&T reports record earnings;
Earnings per share increase 15.2% for the 1st six months


     WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBK) today reported second 
quarter 1997 earnings of $86.0 million compared to second quarter 1996 
earnings of $76.2 million, an increase of 13.0%. On a fully diluted per share 
basis, BB&T earned $.77 in the second quarter, a 13.2% increase over 1996 
earnings of $.68 per share. BB&T's results produced a return on average assets 
of 1.54% and a return on average equity of 19.46%, compared to prior year 
ratios of 1.50% and 18.77%, respectively. 

     For the six months ended June 30, 1997, BB&T reported net income of 
$169.1 million, an increase of  14.2% over the earnings reported for the same 
period a year earlier.  Earnings per fully diluted share were $1.52 for the 
six months, compared to $1.32 recorded in the prior year, an increase of 
15.2%.

     "We are extremely pleased with the results for the second quarter and the 
first half of 1997," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John A. 
Allison.  "Our earnings growth continues to be driven by higher noninterest 
income, a strong net interest margin and ongoing control of noninterest 
expenses. In addition, the pace of our loan growth has increased during 1997, 
while we have retained our excellent credit quality."

     Noninterest income increased to $172.7 million for the six months, up 
21.6% from the $142.1 million earned last year. The net interest margin 
increased to 4.58% in 1997 compared to 4.44% in 1996. The efficiency ratio, a 
measure of productivity, improved to 51.1% for the first six months compared 
to 53.4% reported last year. BB&T's efficiency ratio is in the top 10% of the 
banking industry.

     "Our success in growing noninterest income reflects our high standard of 
service quality and our execution of the BB&T sales management process," said 
Mr. Allison. "Approximately 23% of the households served by BB&T utilize at 
least five products or services, compared to an industry norm of about 10%." 

     On July 1, BB&T completed the acquisition of United Carolina Bancshares 
Corporation, giving BB&T the leading market share of deposits in the 
Carolinas, where it ranks first in North Carolina and third in South Carolina. 
"We are very excited to complete this merger and look forward to working with 
new employees and serving new clients," said Mr. Allison. "Our ultimate goal 
in pursuing this acquisition is to improve our financial performance and 
strengthen our fundamental franchise value." 

     On May 1, BB&T announced plans to acquire Craigie Incorporated of 
Richmond, Va. Craigie specializes in securities origination, trading and 
distribution in both public and private markets.  On May 6, BB&T announced 
plans to purchase Virginia First Financial Corporation of Petersburg, Va.  
Virginia First operates 24 banking offices through its banking subsidiary, 
Virginia First Savings Bank, and 12 mortgage loan production centers in 
Virginia and Maryland through its Virginia First Mortgage subsidiary.  These 
acquisitions affirm BB&T's growth strategy of expanding into Virginia as well 
as into new lines of business. 

     BB&T, formerly Southern National Corporation, continued efforts to 
solidify its brand identity during the quarter by changing the name of the 
corporation.  "We wanted to eliminate confusion in the marketplace and augment 
our other efforts to develop the BB&T brand name," said Mr. Allison.  BB&T's 
common stock began trading under its new name and ticker symbol, "BBK," at the 
start of business on Monday, May 19 on the New York Stock Exchange.

     During the second quarter, BB&T's Board of Directors approved a 14.8% 
increase in the quarterly dividend paid to shareholders to be effective August 
1, 1997.  The increase, to $.31 per share, marks the 25th consecutive year 
that BB&T has declared an increase in the dividend.

     On July 1, following the acquisition of UCB, BB&T Corporation had $27.5 
billion in assets and $20.1 billion in deposits. BB&T will operate 485 banking 
offices in the Carolinas and Virginia after its systems conversion of UCB in 
September.

     The price of BB&T Corporation's stock closed at $45.94 on July 10. For
