BB&T reports 19.8% increase in 2nd quarter earnings

     WINSTON-SALEM,  N.C. -- BB&T  Corporation  (NYSE:BBK)  reported  today that
earnings  for the second  quarter of 1998  totaled  $122.0  million  compared to
second quarter 1997 earnings of $101.9 million, an increase of 19.8%.

     On a diluted per share  basis,  BB&T earned $.85 for the three months ended
June 30,  1998,  an  increase  of 19.7% from the $.71  earned  during the second
quarter of 1997.  BB&T's current  quarter  results  produced a return on average
assets of 1.56% and a return on average equity of 20.23%, compared to prior year
ratios of 1.44% and 17.92%, respectively.

     BB&T's  "cash  basis"  results  (which  exclude the effect that  intangible
assets and related  amortization  expense  have on net income,  total assets and
shareholders'  equity)  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1998,  improved
significantly  compared  to the second  quarter  of 1997.  Cash basis net income
totaled  $127.3  million,  or $.89 per diluted  share,  an increase of 21.3% and
21.9%,  respectively,  over  prior  year  amounts.  The cash  basis  performance
generated a return on average  tangible  assets of 1.63% and a return on average
tangible equity of 23.29%.

     For the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998,  BB&T's  net  income was $241.8
million, or $1.67 per diluted share,  before nonrecurring  charges totaling $6.0
million after tax associated  with  completing the  acquisition of Life Bancorp,
Inc. of Norfolk,  Virginia.  These  earnings  represent an increase of 19.7% and
19.3%, respectively, over the $201.9 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, earned
in the first six months of 1997.  Recurring  earnings for the first half of 1998
produced a return on average  assets of 1.57% and a return on average  equity of
20.00%,  compared to prior year ratios of 1.47% and 17.95%,  respectively.  BB&T
continues  to rank in the top 10% of bank  holding  companies  with a cash basis
efficiency ratio for the first six months of 1998 of 50.2%.

     "It is a pleasure to report record second quarter  earnings," said Chairman
and Chief Executive  Officer John A. Allison.  "Our earnings are benefiting from
continued  strong  performance  in noninterest  income,  which  increased  33.8%
compared to the second quarter of 1997, increased net interest income, driven by
a 12.2% increase in average loans, and a lower loan loss provision made possible
by improved overall asset quality."

     On June 23,  BB&T's  Board of  Directors  announced  a 2-for-1  stock split
effective  August 3 to  shareholders  of record on July 10. "BB&T  Corporation's
common stock has been an outstanding  investment for our shareholders," said Mr.
Allison. "We believe the stock split will share the benefits of our success with
our current  shareholders  and  broaden  the appeal of BB&T stock to  additional
investors.  BB&T's  common  stock  closed  at  $67.63  per  share on June 30, an
increase of 50.3% from the closing price one year ago."

     BB&T completed two acquisitions during the second quarter. On June 18, BB&T
purchased Dealers Credit Inc. (DCI),  based in Menomonee Falls,  Wisconsin.  DCI
specializes  in extending  credit to  commercial,  agricultural,  municipal  and
consumer users for the purchase of lawn care  equipment.  DCI's  operations will
complement those of BB&T's current subsidiary,  Sheffield Financial Corp., which
serves similar markets.

     On June 30,  BB&T  acquired  W.E.  Stanley &  Company  Inc.  (Stanley),  of
Greensboro, N.C. Stanley is the largest actuarial, consulting and administration
firm  headquartered in the Carolinas.  The acquisition of Stanley will more than
double the number of employee benefit plans BB&T administers.  "The acquisitions
of DCI and  Stanley  will enable  BB&T to  increase  the number of products  and
services we offer to existing and potential clients and will support our efforts
to expand our fee-based business lines," said Mr. Allison.

On May  28,  BB&T  received  special  recognition  by the  U.S.  Small  Business
Administration  for being the No. 1 "small business  friendly" bank among the 50
largest U.S. banks. "We place a great deal of emphasis on our relationships with
all of our clients and we are pleased to be  recognized  for our  commitment  to
helping small business clients succeed," said Mr. Allison.

     On June 23,  the  Board  of  Directors  approved  a 12.9%  increase  in the
quarterly  cash  dividend.  The increase,  to $.35 per share (the  equivalent of
$.175 per share after the 2-for-1 stock split becomes  effective) marks the 26th
consecutive  year BB&T has increased the dividend.  The cash dividend is payable
August 3 to shareholders of record July 10.

     BB&T had $31.5  billion in assets and 518 banking  offices in the Carolinas
and Virginia as of June 30, 1998.  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 July 9 was $69.13 per share.
