Item 5. Other Events

  On July 9, 1999, BB&T Corporation ("BB&T") completed its merger with First
Citizens Corporation ("First Citizens") of Newnan, Georgia. On July 14, 1999,
BB&T completed its merger with Mason-Dixon Bancshares, Inc. ("Mason-Dixon") of
Westminster, Maryland. To consummate the merger with First Citizens, their
shareholders received 1.0789 shares of BB&T common stock in exchange for each
share of First Citizens common stock held, resulting in the issuance of 3.2
million shares of BB&T common stock. To complete the merger with Mason-Dixon,
its shareholders received 1.30 shares of BB&T common stock in exchange for
each share of Mason-Dixon common stock held, resulting in the issuance of 6.6
million shares of BB&T common stock. These transactions were accounted for as
poolings of interests. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
(including notes to consolidated financial statements), and supplemental
financial information contained in BB&T's Current Report on Form 8-K for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, restated for the accounts of
First Citizens and Mason-Dixon, are included in this Current Report on Form 8-
K. The restatement of First Citizens for 1998 involved converting their March
31 fiscal year end to a calendar year format consistent with BB&T's
presentation. Prior years' information is presented by combining the fiscal
year ends of First Citizens to BB&T's calendar year end. As a result,
information relating to First Citizens' activities during the period from
January 1, 1998, through March 31, 1998, has been summarized in the
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders of BB&T Corporation:

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BB&T
Corporation (a North Carolina corporation), and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes
in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company'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 financial position of BB&T Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of operations
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       BB&T CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996

  BB&T Corporation ("BB&T" or "Parent Company"), formerly Southern National
Corporation, is a bank holding company organized under the laws of North
Carolina and registered with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. Branch Banking and Trust Company ("BB&T-NC");
BB&T Financial Corporation of South Carolina, parent company of Branch Banking
and Trust Company of South Carolina ("BB&T-SC"); BB&T Financial Corporation of
Virginia, parent company of Branch Banking and Trust Company of Virginia
("BB&T-VA"), (collectively, the "Banks"), Regional Acceptance Corporation
("Regional Acceptance") and Scott & Stringfellow Financial, Inc., ("Scott &
Stringfellow") comprise BB&T's principal direct subsidiaries.

  The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T Corporation and its
subsidiaries are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The following is
a summary of the more significant policies.

NOTE A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

  The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of the
BB&T Corporation and its subsidiaries. In consolidation, all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Prior period
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts of companies
acquired in material transactions accounted for as poolings of interests. The
results of operations of companies acquired in transactions accounted for as
purchases are included only from the dates of acquisition. (See Note B). The
restatement of First Citizens for 1998 involved converting their March 31
fiscal year end to a calendar year format consistent with BB&T's presentation.
Prior years' information is presented by combining the fiscal year end of
First Citizens to BB&T's calendar year end. As a result, information relating
to First Citizens' activities during the period from January 1, 1998, through
March 31, 1998, has been summarized in the Consolidated Statement of Changes
in Shareholders' Equity. This method of combination did not have a material
impact on BB&T's consolidated financial position or consolidated results of
operations.

  Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to
statement presentations for 1998. The reclassifications have had no effect on
either shareholders' equity or net income, as previously reported.

Nature of Operations

  BB&T is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. BB&T conducts its operations in North Carolina, South Carolina,
Virginia, Maryland and the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area primarily
through its commercial banking subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, through
its other subsidiaries. BB&T's subsidiaries provide a full range of
traditional commercial banking services and additional services including
investment brokerage, investment banking, trust services, agency insurance,
credit-related insurance and leasing.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing
bank balances, Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale
agreements or similar arrangements. Generally, both cash and cash equivalents
are considered to have maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, the
carrying amount of such instruments is considered a reasonable estimate of
fair value.

                                      10
<PAGE>

Securities

  BB&T classifies investment securities in one of three categories: held to
maturity, available for sale and trading. Debt securities acquired with both
the intent and ability to be held to maturity are classified as held to
maturity and reported at amortized cost. Gains or losses realized from the
sale of securities held to maturity, if any, are determined by specific
identification and are included in noninterest income.

  Securities, which may be used to meet liquidity needs arising from
unanticipated deposit and loan fluctuations, changes in regulatory capital and
investment requirements, or unforeseen changes in market conditions, including
interest rates, market values or inflation rates, are classified as available
for sale. Securities available for sale are reported at estimated fair value,
with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity, net of deferred income tax. Gains or losses realized
from the sale of securities available for sale are determined by specific
identification and are included in noninterest income.

  Trading account securities are selected according to fundamental and
technical analyses that identify potential market movements. Trading account
securities are positioned to take advantage of such movements and are reported
at fair value. Market adjustments, fees and gains or losses earned on trading
account securities are included in noninterest income. Interest income on
trading account securities is included in other interest income. Gains or
losses realized from the sale of trading securities are determined by specific
identification.

  During 1996 and 1998, BB&T transferred securities with an amortized cost of
$36.6 million and $106.8 million, respectively, from the held-to-maturity
portfolio to the available-for-sale portfolio. These securities were
previously classified as held-to-maturity by entities acquired under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting. BB&T transferred these amounts
pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," to conform the combined investment portfolios to BB&T's existing
policies.

Loans Held for Sale

  Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value on an
aggregate loan basis. Gains or losses realized on the sales of loans are
recognized at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between
the net sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loans sold, adjusted for
any servicing asset or liability. Any resulting deferred premium or discount
is amortized, as an adjustment of servicing income, over the estimated lives
of the loans using the level-yield method.

Loans and Leases

  Loans and leases that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future are reported at their outstanding principal balances
adjusted for any deferred fees or costs and unamortized premiums or discounts.
The net amount of nonrefundable loan origination fees, including commitment
fees and certain direct costs associated with the lending process, are
deferred and amortized to interest income over the contractual lives of the
loans using methods which approximate level-yield, with adjustments for
prepayments as they occur. If the loan commitment expires unexercised, the
income is recognized upon expiration of the commitment. Discounts and premiums
are amortized to interest income over the estimated life of the loans using
methods that approximate level-yield.

  Commercial loans and substantially all installment loans accrue interest on
the unpaid balance of the loans. Lease receivables consist primarily of direct
financing leases on rolling stock, equipment and real property. Lease
receivables are stated at the total amount of lease payments receivable plus
guaranteed residual values, less unearned income. Recognition of income over
the lives of the lease contracts approximates the level-yield method.

  As of January 1, 1995, BB&T adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan," which was amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS
No. 114, as amended, requires that impaired loans be measured based on

                                      11
<PAGE>

the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-
dependent. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events,
it is probable that BB&T will be unable to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When the measure of the
impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment
is recorded through a valuation allowance. BB&T had previously measured the
allowance for credit losses using methods similar to those prescribed in SFAS
No. 114. As a result of adopting these statements, no additional allowance for
loan losses was required as of January 1, 1995.

  BB&T's policy is to disclose all commercial loans greater than $250,000 that
are on nonaccrual status as impaired loans. Substantially all other loans made
by BB&T are excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 114 as they are comprised of
large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans (residential mortgage and
consumer installment) that are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

  The allowance for loan and lease losses is the estimated amount considered
adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in the outstanding loan and
lease portfolio. The primary factors considered in determining the allowance
are the distribution of loans by risk class, the amount of the allowance
specifically allocated to nonperforming loans and other problem loans, prior
years' loan loss experience, economic conditions in BB&T's market areas and
the growth of the credit portfolio. Management stratifies the loan portfolio
based on the purpose of the loan. For commercial loans, specific reserves are
assigned to "watch list" credits of $1 million or more. General reserves on
commercial loans are determined based on the risk grades assigned to the
credits. For all other loan types, general reserves are established based on a
weighted average of actual historical loan loss experience for the loan type
and based on the risk grades of the loans. An additional general reserve is
established to address broader economic conditions in BB&T's market areas and
to ensure that the allowance is adequate for other probable losses inherent in
the loan and lease portfolio. While management uses the best information
available to establish the allowance for loan and lease losses, future
adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ
substantially from the assumptions used in making the valuations or, if
required by regulators, based upon information at the time of their
examinations. Such adjustments to original estimates, as necessary, are made
in the period in which these factors and other relevant considerations
indicate that loss levels may vary from previous estimates.

Nonperforming Assets

  Nonperforming assets include loans and leases on which interest is not being
accrued and foreclosed property. Foreclosed property consists of real estate
and other assets acquired through customers' loan defaults. Commercial and
unsecured consumer loans and leases are generally placed on nonaccrual status
when concern exists that principal or interest is not fully collectible, or
when any portion of principal or interest becomes 90 days past due, whichever
occurs first. Mortgage loans and most other consumer loans past due 90 days or
more may remain on accrual status if management determines that concern over
the collectibility of principal and interest is not significant. When loans
are placed on nonaccrual status, interest receivable is reversed against
interest income in the current period. Interest payments received thereafter
are applied as a reduction to the remaining principal balance as long as
concern exists as to the ultimate collection of the principal. Loans and
leases are removed from nonaccrual status when they become current as to both
principal and interest and when concern no longer exists as to the
collectibility of principal or interest.

  Assets acquired as a result of foreclosure are valued at the lower of cost
or fair value, and carried thereafter at the lower of cost or fair value less
estimated selling costs. Cost is determined based on the sum of unpaid
principal, accrued but unpaid interest and acquisition costs associated with
the loan. Any excess of unpaid principal over fair value at the time of
foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Generally,
such properties are appraised annually and the carrying value, if greater than
the fair value, less selling costs, is adjusted with a charge to income.
Routine maintenance costs, declines in market value and net losses on disposal
are included in other noninterest expense.

                                      12
<PAGE>

Premises and Equipment

  Premises, equipment, capital leases and leasehold improvements are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation is computed
principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the lesser of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the
improvements. Capitalized leases are amortized by the same methods as premises
and equipment over the estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is
lesser. Obligations under capital leases are amortized using the interest
method to allocate payments between principal reduction and interest expense.

Income Taxes

  BB&T and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return.
Each subsidiary pays its calculated portion of Federal income taxes to BB&T to
the extent that tax benefits are realized. Deferred income taxes have been
provided when different accounting methods have been used in determining
income for income tax purposes and for financial reporting purposes. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on future tax consequences of
the differences arising from their carrying values and respective tax bases.
In the event of changes in the tax laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are adjusted in the period of the enactment of those changes, with effects
included in the income tax provision. Institutions acquired during the current
fiscal year file separate Federal income tax returns for the periods prior to
consummation of the acquisitions.

Derivatives and Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

  BB&T utilizes a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage
various financial risks. These instruments include financial forward and
futures contracts, options written and purchased, interest rate caps and
floors and interest rate swaps. Management accounts for these financial
instruments as hedges when the following conditions are met: (1) the specific
assets, liabilities, firm commitments or anticipated transactions (or an
identifiable group of essentially similar items) to be hedged expose BB&T to
interest rate risk or price risk; (2) the financial instrument reduces that
exposure; (3) the financial instrument is designated as a hedge at inception;
and (4) at the inception of the hedge and throughout the hedge period, there
is a high correlation of changes in the fair value or the net interest income
associated with the financial instrument and the hedged items.

  The net interest payable or receivable on interest rate swaps, caps and
floors that are designated as hedges is accrued and recognized as an
adjustment to the interest income or expense of the related asset or
liability. For interest rate forwards, futures and options qualifying as a
hedge, gains and losses are deferred and are recognized in income as an
adjustment of yield. Gains and losses from early terminations of derivatives
are deferred and amortized as yield adjustments over the shorter of the
remaining term of the hedged asset or liability or the remaining term of the
derivative instrument. Upon disposition or settlement of the asset or
liability being hedged, deferral accounting is discontinued and any gains or
losses are recognized in income. Derivative financial instruments that fail to
qualify as a hedge are carried at fair value with gains and losses recognized
in current earnings.

  BB&T utilizes written covered over-the-counter call options on specific
securities in the available-for-sale securities portfolio in order to enhance
returns. Fees received are deferred and recognized in noninterest income upon
exercise or expiration. Written options are carried at estimated fair value.
Unrealized and realized gains and losses on written call options are included
with securities gains and losses.

  BB&T also utilizes over-the-counter purchased put options and net purchased
put options (combination of purchased put option and written call option) in
its mortgage banking activities. These options are used to hedge the mortgage
warehouse and pipeline against increasing interest rates. Written call options
are used in tandem with purchased put options to create a net purchased put
option that reduces the cost of the hedge. Net unrealized gains and losses on
purchased put options and net purchased put options are carried with loans
held for sale at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis. Realized
gains and losses on purchased put options and net purchased put options are
included in mortgage banking income.

Per Share Data

  Effective December 31, 1997, BB&T adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share." This statement establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and simplifies the standards for
computation previously found in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 15, "Earnings Per Share," making them more comparable to international EPS
standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of
basic EPS and requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS (which
replaces the former fully diluted EPS) for all entities with complex capital
structures. The EPS information reported herein reflects the implementation of
SFAS No. 128. Prior periods have been restated to include the provisions of
the statement.

  Basic net income per common share has been computed by dividing net income
applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the years presented.

  Diluted net income per common share has been computed by dividing net
income, as adjusted for the interest expense related to convertible debt in
prior years, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common
stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Other
potentially dilutive securities include the number of shares issuable upon
conversion of preferred stock. Restricted stock grants are considered as
issued for purposes of calculating net income per share.

  Weighted average numbers of shares were as follows:

</TABLE>

  On June 23, 1998, BB&T's Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split
in the Corporation's common stock effected in the form of a 100% stock
dividend paid August 3, 1998. All per share amounts presented herein and the
weighted average shares reflected above have been restated as appropriate to
retroactively reflect the stock split.

Intangible Assets

  BB&T's intangible assets consist of the cost in excess of the fair value of
net assets acquired in transactions accounted for as purchases (goodwill),
premiums paid on acquisitions of deposits (core deposit intangibles) and other
identifiable intangible assets. Such assets are included in other assets in
the "Consolidated Balance Sheets." Intangible assets are being amortized on
straight-line or accelerated bases over periods ranging from 5 to 25 years. At
December 31, 1998, BB&T had $405.2 million recorded as goodwill and $7.9
million as core deposit and other intangibles, net of amortization. Negative
goodwill is created when the fair value of the net assets purchased exceeds
the purchase price. Such balances are included in other liabilities in the
"Consolidated Balance Sheets" and are being amortized over periods ranging
from 10 to 15 years. At December 31, 1998, BB&T had negative goodwill totaling
$26.7 million, net of amortization.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

  Amounts paid to acquire the right to service certain mortgage loans are
capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the loans to which they
relate. In May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights," which amends SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage
Banking Activities." This statement was superseded by SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities," which BB&T adopted on January 1, 1997. SFAS
No. 122, as superseded by SFAS No. 125, requires that mortgage banking
enterprises recognize, as separate assets, rights to service mortgage loans
for others, however those servicing rights are acquired. The statement further
requires mortgage banking enterprises to assess their capitalized mortgage
servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. At
December 31, 1998, BB&T had capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaling
$101.4 million.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

  In June of 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which
provides accounting and reporting standards for such transactions based on
consistent application of a financial components approach. This approach
recognizes the financial and servicing assets an entity controls and the
liabilities it has incurred, as well as derecognizes financial assets when
control has been surrendered and liabilities when they are extinguished. The
statement requires that liabilities and derivatives incurred or obtained by
transferors as part of a transfer of financial assets be initially measured at
fair value, if practicable. It also requires that servicing assets and other
retained interests in the transferred assets be measured by allocating the
previous carrying amount between the assets sold, if any, and retained
interests, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of
transfer. In December 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the
Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125." This
statement allows the implementation of certain provisions of SFAS No. 125 to
be deferred for one year. BB&T adopted SFAS No. 125, as amended by SFAS No.
127, effective January 1, 1997. The adoption of these statements did not have
a material impact on BB&T's consolidated financial position or consolidated
results of operations.

  In February of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," as
discussed above. The statement was effective for financial statements issued
for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and
requires restatement of all prior periods presented. Accordingly, BB&T adopted
the provisions of the statement effective December 31, 1997, including
retroactive restatement of prior periods. The implementation of the statement
did not have a material impact on BB&T's consolidated financial position or
consolidated results of operations.

  In February of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure," which establishes standards for
disclosing information about an entity's capital structure by continuing and
amending existing standards. The statement was effective for financial
statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Management determined
that BB&T was and is in compliance with the disclosure requirements of SFAS
No. 129, and, therefore, the implementation of the statement did not affect
the capital structure disclosures made by BB&T.

  In June of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is the
nonshareholder-related change in equity (net assets) of a company during a
period from transactions and other events. SFAS No. 130 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and
requires restatement of all prior periods presented. BB&T adopted the
provisions of the statement effective January 1, 1998, including retroactive
application to prior periods. The standard does not address issues of
recognition or measurement of comprehensive income; therefore, the
implementation of the statement did not have a material impact on BB&T's
consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

  In June of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for the
way that business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas and major customers. BB&T adopted the provisions of
the statement effective December 31, 1998. The standard does not address
issues of recognition or measurement and, therefore, the implementation of the
statement did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position or
consolidated results of operations of BB&T. See Note S. in the "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" for disclosures related to the
implementation of this statement.

  In March of 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which revises the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefit

                                      15
<PAGE>

plans. BB&T adopted the provisions of this statement effective December 31,
1998, including restatement of all prior periods presented. The statement does
not address issues of recognition or measurement and, therefore, the
implementation of the statement did not have an impact on BB&T's consolidated
financial position or consolidated results of operations. See Note L. in the
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for disclosures related to the
implementation of this statement.

  During the first quarter of 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, "Accounting for
Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1
requires capitalization of computer software costs that meet certain criteria.
BB&T adopted the provisions of this statement effective January 1, 1999. This
implementation of the SOP did not have a material effect on BB&T's
consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

  In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The
Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and
losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement,
and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the
effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, and cannot be
applied retroactively. Management has not yet quantified the impact of
adopting SFAS No. 133 and has not determined the timing of or method of
adoption of the statement. However, management does not anticipate that the
implementation of the statement will have a material effect on BB&T's
consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

  During the second quarter of 1998, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants issued SOP 98-5, "Accounting for Start-up Costs." SOP 98-5
provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and
organization costs and requires start-up costs to be expensed as incurred.
BB&T adopted the provisions of the SOP effective January 1, 1999. The adoption
of the statement did not have a material impact on BB&T's consolidated
financial position or consolidated results of operations.

  During October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-
Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for
Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." The statement amends SFAS No. 65,
"Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities." BB&T adopted the
provisions of the statement effective January 1, 1999. The implementation of
the statement did not have a material impact on BB&T's consolidated financial
position or consolidated results of operations.

  Securities with a book value of approximately $5.2 billion and $4.5 billion
at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were pledged to secure municipal
deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, Federal Reserve
discount window borrowings and for other purposes as required by law.

  At December 31, 1998 and 1997, there was no concentration of investments in
obligations of states and political subdivisions that were secured by or
payable from the same taxing authority or revenue source and that exceeded ten
percent of shareholders' equity. Trading securities totaling $60.4 million are
excluded from the accompanying tables.

  Proceeds from sales of securities during 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $1.5
billion, $1.9 billion and $808.5 million, respectively. Gross gains of $8.8
million, $8.5 million and $6.5 million and gross losses of $238,000, $3.8
million and $2.5 million were realized on those sales in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

  The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities portfolio at
December 31, 1998, by contractual maturity, are shown in the accompanying
table. The expected life of mortgage-backed securities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
the underlying mortgage loans with or without call or prepayment penalties.
For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not
due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings
based on the weighted average contractual maturities of underlying collateral.

  Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are being amortized on a disaggregated
loan basis using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the
servicing income. The servicing rights portfolio is analyzed each quarter to
identify possible impairment using a disaggregated discounted cash flow
methodology that is stratified by predominant risk characteristics. These
characteristics include stratification based on interest rates in intervals of
150 basis points, type of loan and maturity of loan. Following is an analysis
of the aggregate changes in the valuation allowances for mortgage servicing
rights in 1998 and 1997:

  Federal funds purchased represent unsecured borrowings from other banks and
generally mature daily. Term Federal funds purchased are identical to Federal
funds; however, maturities vary and are greater than one day. Securities sold
under agreements to repurchase are borrowings collateralized by securities of
the U.S. Government or its agencies and have maturities ranging from one to
ninety days. U.S. Treasury tax and loan deposit notes payable are payable upon
demand to the U.S. Treasury. Master notes are unsecured, non-negotiable
obligations of BB&T (variable rate commercial paper). Short-term Federal Home
Loan Bank advances are typically unsecured and generally mature daily. Short-
term bank notes are unsecured borrowings issued by the banking subsidiaries
that generally mature in less than one year.

2004 and later years are $2.2 billion.

NOTE J. Shareholders' Equity

  The authorized capital stock of BB&T consists of 500,000,000 shares of
common stock, $5 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $5 par
value. At December 31, 1998, 316,590,552 shares of common stock and no shares
of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

Stock Option Plans

  At December 31, 1998, BB&T had the following stock-based compensation plans:
the 1994 and 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plans ("Omnibus Plans"), the
Incentive Stock Option Plan ("ISOP"), the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
("NQSOP") and the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan ("Directors'
Plan"), which are described below. BB&T accounts for these plans under APB
Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had
compensation cost for these plans been determined based on the fair value at
the grant dates for awards under those plans granted after December 31, 1994,
consistent with the method described by SFAS No. 123, BB&T's pro forma net
income and pro forma earnings per share would have been as follows:

  The SFAS No. 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options
granted prior to January 1, 1995; therefore, the weighted average fair value
of options granted prior to that date has not been calculated. The fair value
of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-
Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions
used for grants in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively: dividend yield of 2.2%-
2.5% in 1998, 2.2%-2.8% in 1997 and 2.2%-2.5% in 1996; expected volatility of
23%-29% in 1998, 21%-29% in 1997 and 22%-29% in 1996; risk free interest rates
of 5.7%, 5.7%-6.2% and 5.7%-6.4% for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively; and
expected lives of 6.1 years, 6.2 years and 6.7 years for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

  Because the SFAS No. 123 method of accounting has not been applied to
options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation
cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years.

  In April, 1994 and February, 1995, the shareholders approved the Omnibus
Plans which cover the award of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock
options, shares of restricted stock, performance shares and stock appreciation
rights. In April 1996, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 1995
Omnibus Plan that increased the maximum number of shares issuable under the
terms of the plan to 12,000,000 shares. The

                                      27
<PAGE>

combined shares issuable under both Omnibus Plans, after giving effect to the
August 3, 1998, 2-for-1 stock split, is 20,000,000. The Omnibus Plans are
intended to allow BB&T to recruit and retain employees with ability and
initiative and to associate the employees' interests with those of BB&T and
its shareholders. At December 31, 1998, 7,543,749 qualified stock options at
prices ranging from $2.04 to $33.485 and 3,471,811 non-qualified stock options
at prices ranging from $.005 to $30.45 were outstanding. The stock options
generally vest over 3 years and have a 10-year term.

  The ISOP and the NQSOP were established to retain key officers and key
management employees and to offer them the incentive to use their best efforts
on behalf of BB&T. The plans, which expire on December 19, 2000, further
provide for up to 2,202,000 shares of common stock to be reserved fro the
granting of options, which have a four year vesting schedule and must be
exercised within ten years from the date granted. Incentive stock options
granted must have an exercise price equal to at least 100% of the fair market
value of common stock on the date granted, and then on-qualified stock options
must have an exercise price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value on
the date granted. At December 31, 1998, options to purchase 153,788 shares of
common stock at prices ranging from $4.75 to $8.375 were outstanding pursuant
to the NQSOP. At December 31, 1998, options to purchase 133,832 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $9,8885 were outstanding pursuant to the
ISOP.

  The Directors' Plan is intended to provide incentives to non-employee
directors to remain on the Board of Directors and share in the profitability
of BB&T. The plan creates a deferred compensation system for participating
non-employee directors. Each non-employee director may elect to defer 0%, 50%
or 100% of the annual retainer fee for each calendar year and apply that
percentage toward the grant of options to purchase BB&T common stock. Such
elections are required to be in writing and are irrevocable for each calendar
year. The exercise price at which shares of BB&T common stock may be purchased
shall be equal to 75% of the market value of the common stock as of the date
of grant. Options are vested in six months and may be exercised anytime
thereafter until the expiration date, which is 10 years from the date of
grant. The Directors' Plan provides for the reservation of up to 1,800,000
shares of BB&T common stock. At December 31, 1998, options to purchase 794,746
shares of common stock at prices ranging from $6.3578 to $28.8719 were
outstanding pursuant to the Directors' Plan.

  BB&T also has options outstanding that were granted by acquired companies.
These options, which have not been included in the plans described above,
totaled 230,164 as of December 31, 1998, with option prices ranging from
$1.3334 to $11.8535.

Shareholder Rights Plan

  On January 17, 1997, pursuant to the Rights Agreement approved by the Board
of Directors, BB&T distributed to shareholders one preferred stock purchase
right for each share of BB&T's common stock then outstanding. Subsequent to
this date, all shares issued are accompanied by a stock purchase right.
Initially, the rights, which expire in 10 years, are not exercisable and are
not transferable apart from the common stock. The rights will become
exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20% or more of BB&T's common
stock, or BB&T's Board of Directors determines, pursuant to the terms of the
Rights Agreement, that any person or group that has acquired 10% or more of
BB&T's common stock is an "Adverse Person." Each right would then enable the
holder to purchase 1/100th of a share of a new series of BB&T preferred stock
at an initial exercise price of $145.00. The Board of Directors will be
entitled to redeem the rights at $.01 per right under certain circumstances
specified in the Rights Agreement.

  Under the terms of the Rights Agreement, if any person or group becomes the
beneficial owner of 25% or more of BB&T's common stock, with certain
exceptions, or if the Board of Directors determines that any 10% or more
stockholder is an "Adverse Person," each right will entitle its holder (other
than the person triggering exercisability of the rights) to purchase, at the
right's then-current exercise price, shares of BB&T's common stock having a
value of twice the right's exercise price. In addition, if after any person or
group has become a 20% or more stockholder, BB&T is involved in a merger or
other business combination transaction with another person in which its common
stock is changed or converted, or sells 50% or more of its assets or earning
power to another person, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, at
the right's then-current exercise price, shares of common stock of such other
person having a value of twice the right's exercise price.

NOTE L. Benefit Plans

  BB&T provides various employee benefit plans to existing employees and
employees of acquired entities. Employees of acquired entities typically
participate in existing BB&T plans upon consummation of the acquisitions.
Credit is usually given to these employees for years of service at the
acquired institution. The combination of actuarial information for the benefit
plans of acquired entities is typically not meaningful because the benefits
offered in those plans and assumptions used in the calculations related to
those plans are superseded by the benefits offered in the BB&T plans and the
assumptions used in the BB&T calculations. Accordingly, the actuarial
information presented for retirement plans and postretirement benefits in the
accompanying tables is that of BB&T as originally presented.

  The following table discloses expenses relating to employee benefit plans
restated for transactions accounted for as poolings of interests.

Retirement Plans

  BB&T provides a retirement plan that covers substantially all employees.
Benefits are based on years of service, age at retirement and the employee's
compensation during the five highest consecutive years of earnings within the
last ten years of employment. BB&T's contributions to the plan are in amounts
between the minimum required for funding standard account purposes and the
maximum deductible for Internal Revenue Service purposes.

  Supplemental retirement benefits are provided to certain key officers under
supplemental executive retirement plans, which are not qualified under the
Internal Revenue Code. Although technically unfunded plans, insurance policies
on the lives of the covered employees partially fund future benefits.

  The tables below summarize data relative to the plans for the years as
indicated:

Postretirement Benefits

  BB&T revised its retiree health care plans in preparation for the
implementation of SFAS No. 106, "Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions." Effective January 1, 1996, the plans of BB&T and BB&T
Financial Corporation were merged into a single plan. The new plan covers
employees retiring after December 31, 1995 who are eligible for participation
in the BB&T pension plan and have at least ten years of service. The plan
requires retiree contributions, with a subsidy by BB&T based upon years of
service of the employee at the time of retirement. The subsidy is periodically
reviewed for adjustment. The plan provides flexible benefits to retirees or
their dependents.

  The following tables set forth the components of the retiree benefit plan
and the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements at December
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

401-k Savings Plan

  Prior to 1996, BB&T had an Employee Stock Ownership Plan that allowed all
employees to acquire BB&T common stock by contributing up to 15% of their
salaries to the plan. BB&T matched 100% of each employee's contributions, up
to a maximum of 6% of the employee's salary. BB&T Financial Corporation
provided a Savings and Thrift Plan permitting eligible employees to make
contributions up to 16% of base compensation, with matching contributions up
to 4% of the employee's base compensation. Effective January 1, 1996, BB&T's
Employee Stock Ownership Plan was merged into the former BB&T Financial
Corporation Savings and Thrift Plan to form the BB&T Corporation 401-k Savings
Plan. The new plan permits employees to contribute up to 16% of their
compensation. BB&T matches up to 6% of the employee's compensation with a 100%
matching contribution.

Settlement Agreements

  In connection with recent significant mergers, three executive officers of
merged institutions agreed to retire during 1995 and 1997. BB&T entered into
settlement and noncompetition agreements with these executive officers to
settle existing employment contracts and to require them not to compete with
BB&T. One of the agreements provides for annual payments of $1,655,000 less
the company-provided portion of certain benefits payable under existing
benefit plans. The payments continue for the life of the executive and his
current wife but in no event for a period of less than fifteen years. The
executive has agreed not to compete in a defined geographic area for fifteen
years and to serve as a consultant to BB&T for five years. A second agreement
provides for annual payments of $312,000 for ten years or until death. The
third settlement agreement provides for annual payments of $769,392 (to be
adjusted annually in accordance with the Consumer Price Index) until the
executive reaches the age of 65 in 2002, at which time the annual payments
will be reduced to 70% of the amount paid during the final year pursuant the
agreement, estimated to be approximately $623,000, less the company-provided
portion of benefits payable under certain existing benefit plans. The reduced
payments will continue for the life of the executive. If the executive's
current wife survives him, payments will continue to her in the annual amount
equal to 35% of the amount paid to the executive during the final year
pursuant to the agreement. The executive officer has agreed not to compete in
a defined geographic area for ten years.

Other

  There are various other employment contracts, deferred compensation
arrangements and covenants not to compete with selected members of management
and certain retirees.

NOTE M. Commitments and Contingencies

  BB&T is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to
reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit, options written, standby
letters of credit and financial guarantees, interest rate caps and floors
written, interest rate swaps and forward and futures contracts.

  BB&T's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the
contractual notional amount of those instruments. BB&T uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-
balance sheet instruments.

</TABLE>

  Commitments to extend credit are arrangements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. BB&T evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount and type of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by BB&T upon extension of credit, is based on
management's evaluation of the creditworthiness of the counterparty.

  Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by BB&T to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and
private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and
similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers, and letters of credit are collateralized when necessary.

  Forward commitments to sell mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities
are contracts for delayed delivery of securities in which BB&T agrees to make
delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument, at a specified
price or yield. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to
meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in securities' values and
interest rates.

Legal Proceedings

  The nature of the business of BB&T's banking subsidiaries ordinarily results
in a certain amount of litigation. The subsidiaries of BB&T are involved in
various legal proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the
normal conduct of business. Management believes that the liabilities arising
from these proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of BB&T.

NOTE N. Regulatory Requirements and Other Restrictions

  BB&T's subsidiary banks are required by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System to maintain reserve balances based on certain
percentages of deposit types subject to various adjustments. At December 31,
1998, the net reserve requirement amounted to $226.8 million.

  Subject to restrictions imposed by state laws and federal regulations, the
Boards of Directors of the subsidiary banks could have declared dividends from
their retained earnings up to $1.5 billion at December 31, 1998. The
subsidiary banks are prohibited from paying dividends from their capital stock
and additional paid-in capital accounts and are required by regulatory
authorities to maintain minimum capital levels. BB&T was in compliance with
these requirements at December 31, 1998.

  BB&T is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on BB&T's
financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of BB&T's assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. BB&T's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings and other factors.

  Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require BB&T to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1
capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined),
and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.

  The following table provides summary information regarding regulatory
capital for BB&T and its significant banking subsidiaries as of December 31,
1998 and 1997:

NOTE P. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

  SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires BB&T to disclose the estimated fair value of its on- and off-balance
sheet financial instruments. A financial instrument is defined by SFAS No. 107
as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract that
creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver to or receive cash or
another financial instrument from a second entity on potentially favorable or
unfavorable terms.

  Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market
data and information about the financial instrument. SFAS No. 107 specifies
that fair values should be calculated based on the value of one trading unit
without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations
of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, estimated
transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between
various financial instruments. Because no readily available market exists for
a significant portion of BB&T's financial instruments, fair value estimates
for these instruments are based on judgments regarding current economic
conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience
and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters
of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore,
the calculated fair value estimates cannot always be substantiated by
comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in
a current sale of the instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly
affect the estimates.

  The following methods and assumptions were used by BB&T in estimating the
fair value of its financial instruments at December 31, 1998 and 1997:

  Cash and cash equivalents: For these short-term instruments, the carrying
amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.

  Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, if
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices for similar securities.

  Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted
cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans
with similar terms and credit quality. The carrying amounts of accrued
interest approximate fair values.

  Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits, interest-checking
accounts, savings accounts and certain money market accounts are, by
definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, i.e.,
their carrying amounts. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated
using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates
to aggregate expected maturities.

  Short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased,
borrowings under repurchase agreements, master notes and other short-term
borrowed funds approximate their fair values.

  Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt are estimated based on
quoted market prices for similar instruments or by using discounted cash flow
analyses, based on BB&T's current incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of instruments.

  Interest rate swap agreements: The fair values of interest rate swaps (used
for hedging purposes) are the estimated amounts that BB&T would receive or pay
to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account
current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap
counterparties.

  Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial
guarantees written:
The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees charged to enter
into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For

                                      39
<PAGE>

fixed-rate loan commitments, fair values also consider the difference between
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of
guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based on fees currently charged
for similar agreements.

  Other off-balance sheet instruments: The fair values for off-balance sheet
instruments (futures, forwards, options, and commitments to sell or purchase
financial instruments) are estimated based on quoted prices, if available. For
instruments for which there are no quoted prices, fair values are estimated
using current settlement values or pricing models.

  The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of BB&T's
financial assets and liabilities as of the periods indicated:

NOTE Q. Derivatives and Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

  BB&T utilizes interest rate swaps, caps, floors and collars in the
management of interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps are contractual
agreements between two parties to exchange a series of cash flows representing
interest payments. A swap allows both parties to transform the repricing
characteristics of an asset or liability from a fixed to a floating rate, a
floating rate to a fixed rate, or one floating rate to another floating rate.
The underlying principal positions are not affected. Swap terms generally
range from one year to ten years depending on the need. At December 31, 1998,
derivatives with a total notional value of $3.8 billion, with terms ranging up
to fourteen years, were outstanding.

  The following tables set forth certain information concerning BB&T's
interest rate swaps at December 31, 1998:

  As of December 31, 1998, deferred losses from new swap transactions
initiated during 1998 were $3.3 million. There were no unamortized deferred
gains or losses from terminated transactions remaining at year end. Active
transactions resulted in pretax net income of $878,100.

  In addition to interest rate swaps, BB&T utilizes written covered over-the-
counter call options on specific securities in the available-for-sale
portfolio in order to enhance returns. During 1998, options were written on
securities totaling $1.9 billion. Option fee income was $3.2 million for 1998.
There were no unexercised options outstanding at December 31, 1998 or 1997.

  BB&T also utilizes over-the-counter purchased put options and net purchased
put options (combination of purchased put option and written call option) in
its mortgage banking activities. These options are used to hedge

                                      41
<PAGE>

the mortgage warehouse and pipeline against increasing interest rates. Written
call options are used in tandem with purchased put options to create a net
purchased put option that reduces the cost of the hedge. At December 31, 1998,
net purchased put option contracts with a notional value of $15.0 million were
outstanding.

  The $3.8 billion of derivatives used in interest rate risk management are
primarily used to hedge variable rate commercial loans, adjustable rate
mortgage loans., retail certificates of deposit and fixed rate notes. BB&T
does not utilize derivatives for trading purposes.

  Although off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments do not expose
BB&T to credit risk equal to the notional amount, such agreements generate
credit risk to the extent of the fair value gain in an off-balance sheet
derivative financial instrument if the counterparty fails to perform. Such
risk is minimized based on the quality of the counterparties and the
consistent monitoring of these agreements. The counterparties to these
transactions were large commercial banks and investment banks. Annually, the
counterparties are reviewed for creditworthiness by BB&T's credit policy
group. Where appropriate, master netting agreements are arranged or collateral
is obtained in the form of rights to securities. At December 31, 1998, BB&T's
interest rate swaps, caps, floors and collars reflected an unrealized gain of
$35.9 million.

  Other risks associated with interest-sensitive derivatives include the
impact on fixed positions during periods of changing interest rates. Indexed
amortizing swaps' notional amounts and maturities change based on certain
interest rate indices. Generally, as rates fall the notional amounts decline
more rapidly, and as rates increase notional amounts decline more slowly.
Under unusual circumstances, financial derivatives also increase liquidity
risk, which could result from an environment of rising interest rates in which
derivatives produce negative cash flows while being offset by increased cash
flows from variable rate loans. Such risk is considered insignificant due to
the relatively small derivative positions held by BB&T. At December 31, 1998,
BB&T had no indexed amortizing swaps outstanding.

NOTE S. Operating Segments

  BB&T's operations are divided into six reportable business segments: the
Banking Network, Mortgage Banking, Trust Services, Agency Insurance,
Investment Banking and Brokerage and Treasury. These operating segments have
been identified based primarily on BB&T's existing organizational structure.
The segments require unique technology and marketing strategies and offer
different products and services. While BB&T is managed as an integrated
organization, individual executive managers are held accountable for the
operations of the business segments that report to them.

  BB&T measures and presents information for internal reporting purposes in a
variety of different ways, including reportable segments based on
organizational structure, products, services and customer relationships. The
internal reporting system presently utilized by management in the planning and
measuring of operating activities, as well as the system to which most
managers are held accountable, is based on organizational structure.

  BB&T emphasizes revenue growth by focusing on client service, client
relationships and sales effectiveness. The segment results presented herein
are based on internal management accounting policies, which support these
strategic objectives. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive
authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to
generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the performance of the
segments is not necessarily comparable with BB&T's consolidated results or
with similar information

                                      43
<PAGE>

presented by any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the
interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not
necessarily indicative of the segments' financial performance if they operated
as independent entities.

  BB&T's internal reporting system was significantly modified during 1998, and
prior periods have not been reported to reflect the new system because it is
not practicable to restate prior period results in order to do so. Also, BB&T
has completed various mergers and acquisitions accounted for as poolings of
interests, which present additional practical limitations to the presentation
of comparable prior period information.

  The management accounting process uses various estimates and allocation
methodologies to measure the performance of the operating segments. To
determine financial performance for each segment, BB&T allocates capital,
funding charges and credits, an economic provision for loan and lease losses,
certain noninterest expenses and income tax provisions to each segment, as
applicable. Also, to promote revenue growth, certain revenues of Mortgage
Banking, Trust Services, Agency Insurance and Investment Banking and Brokerage
segments are allocated to the Banking Network and are reflected in
intersegment noninterest revenues. The estimates and allocations are subject
to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is revised
and business or product lines within the segments change. Also, because the
development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process, the
financial results presented may be periodically revised.

  BB&T's overall objective is to maximize shareholder value by optimizing
return on equity and limiting risk. Allocations of capital and the economic
provision for loan and lease losses are designed to address this objective.
Capital is assigned to each segment on an economic basis, using management's
assessment of the inherent risks associated with the segment. Required
economic capital allocations are made to cover the following risk categories:
credit risk, funding risk, interest rate risk, option risk, basis risk, market
risk and operational risk. Each segment is evaluated based on a risk-adjusted
return on capital. Capital assignments are not equivalent to regulatory
capital guidelines and the total amount assigned to all segments may vary from
consolidated shareholders' equity. All unallocated capital is retained in the
Treasury segment.

  The economic provision for loan and lease losses is also allocated to the
relevant segments based on management's assessment of the segments' risks as
described above. Unlike the provision for loan and lease losses recorded
pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, the economic provision
adjusts for the impact of expected credit losses over the effective lives of
the related loans and leases. Any unallocated provision for loan and lease
losses is retained in the Corporate Office, reflected in the accompanying
table as "other revenues and expenses."

  BB&T has implemented an extensive noninterest expense allocation process to
support organizational and product profitability. BB&T allocates expenses to
the reportable segments based on various cost allocation methodologies,
including the number of items processed, overall percentage of time spent,
full-time equivalent employees assigned to functions, functional position
surveys and activity-based costing. A portion of corporate overhead expenses
is not allocated, but is retained in corporate accounts reflected as other
expenses in the accompanying table. Income taxes are allocated to the various
segments using effective tax rates.

  BB&T utilizes a funds transfer pricing ("FTP") system to eliminate the
effect of interest rate risk from the segments' net interest income because
such risk is centrally managed within the Treasury segment. The FTP system
credits or charges the segments with the true value or cost of the funds the
segments create or use. The FTP system provides a funds credit for sources of
funds and a funds charge for the use of funds by each segment. The net FTP
charge or credit is reflected as net intersegment interest income (expense) in
the accompanying table.

Banking Network

  BB&T's Banking Network, which operates in North Carolina, South Carolina,
Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Washington, D.C.,
serves commercial and retail clients by offering a variety of loan and deposit
products and other financial services. The Banking Network is primarily
responsible for client

                                      44
<PAGE>

relationships, and, therefore, is credited with revenue from the Mortgage
Banking, Trust Services, Agency Insurance and Investment Banking and Brokerage
segments, which is reflected in intersegment noninterest revenues. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998, for additional discussion concerning the functions of the banking
network.

Mortgage Banking

  The Mortgage Banking segment retains mortgage loans originated by the
Banking Network and purchased from various correspondents. Mortgage loan
products include fixed- and adjustable-rate government and conventional loans
for the purpose of constructing, purchasing or refinancing owner-occupied
properties. Fixed-rate mortgage loans are typically sold to government and
private investors with servicing rights retained, while adjustable rate loans
are typically held in the portfolio. The Mortgage Banking segment earns
interest on loans held in the warehouse and portfolio, fee income from the
origination and servicing of mortgage loans and reflects gains or losses from
the sale of mortgage loans. The Mortgage Banking segment is charged and the
Banking Network receives a corresponding credit for the origination of loans
and servicing. These revenues and expenses are reflected on the accompanying
table as intersegment revenues and expenses.

Trust Services

  BB&T's Trust Services segment provides personal trust administration and
estate planning, investment counseling and management, employee benefits
services, and corporate trust services to individuals, corporations,
institutions, foundations and government entities. The Banking Network
receives an interoffice credit for trust fees in the initial year the account
is referred, with the corresponding charge remaining in the Corporate Office.
Trust Services also includes the accounts of MainStreet Trust Company N.A.

Insurance Services

  BB&T has the largest independent insurance agency network in the Carolinas.
BB&T Insurance Services provides property and casualty, life and health
insurance to businesses and to individuals, provides small business and
corporate products, such as workers compensation and professional liability,
and provides surety and title insurance. The Banking Network receives credit
for insurance commissions on referred accounts, with the corresponding charge
retained in the Corporate Office. These revenues and expenses are reflected in
the accompanying table as intersegment revenues and expenses.

Investment Banking and Brokerage

  BB&T's Investment Banking and Brokerage segment offers customers investment
alternatives, including discount brokerage services, fixed-rate and variable-
rate annuities, mutual funds and government and municipal bonds and various
other investment products. Investment Banking and Brokerage also provides
personal financial planning services to individuals. The Investment Banking
and Brokerage segment includes Scott & Stringfellow, Inc., an investment
banking firm located in Richmond, Virginia. Scott & Stringfellow specializes
in the origination, trading and distribution of fixed-income securities and
equity products in both the public and private capital markets. Scott &
Stringfellow also has a public finance department that provides investment
banking services, financial advisory services and municipal bond financing to
a variety of regional tax-exempt issuers. The Banking Network is credited for
investment service revenues on referred accounts, with the corresponding
charge retained in the Corporate Office. These revenues and expenses are
reflected in the accompanying table as intersegment revenues and expenses.

Treasury

  BB&T's Treasury segment is responsible for the management of the securities
portfolios, funding and liquidity requirements, and management of interest
rate risk through the use of balance sheet repositioning and derivative
financial instruments. See the Market Risk Management section of "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for
additional information about the responsibilities of the Treasury segment.

(1) Financial data from segments below the quantitative thresholds requiring
    disclosure are attributable to a number of smaller operating segments.
    Those segments include a consumer finance company, sub-prime auto lender,
    a factoring operation, a commercial lawn care finance company, a home
    equity finance company and a leasing company.
(2) Other revenues and expenses include amounts incurred by BB&T's support
    functions not allocated to the various segments. Amounts include any
    unallocated provision for loan and lease losses and unallocated general
    corporate expenses, as well as costs associated with BB&T's Year 2000
    compliance efforts.
(3) BB&T's reconciliation of total segment results to consolidated results
    requires the elimination of the internal management accounting practices.
    These adjustments include the elimination of the FTP credits and charges,
    the elimination of intersegment capital credits and charges, the
    elimination of the intersegment noninterest revenues described above and
    the elimination of overhead expenses allocated to the various segments.
(4) To reflect elimination entries necessary to consolidate the segment data.

    Scheduled repayments are reported in the maturity category in which the
  payment is due. Determinations of maturities are based upon contract terms.
  BB&T's credit policy does not permit automatic renewals of loans. At the
  scheduled maturity date (including balloon payment date), the customer must
  request a new loan to replace the matured loan and execute a new note with
  rate, terms and conditions negotiated at that time.

(1) Included in U.S. Treasury, government and agency obligations are mortgage-
    backed securities totaling $3.9 billion classified as available for sale
    and disclosed at estimated fair value. These securities are included in
    each of the categories based upon final stated maturity dates. The
    original contractual lives of these securities range from five to 30
    years; however, a more realistic average maturity would be substantially
    shorter because of the monthly return of principal on certain securities.
(2) Includes securities held to maturity of $360.8 million carried at
    amortized cost and securities available for sale and trading securities
    carried at estimated fair values of $9.2 billion and $60.4 million,
    respectively.
(3) Taxable equivalent basis as applied to amortized cost.
