Forward-Looking Information

BB&T  has  made   forward-looking   statements  in  the   accompanying   analyst
presentation  materials  that are  subject  to risks  and  uncertainties.  These
statements  are based on the beliefs and  assumptions of the management of BB&T,
and  on  the  information  available  to  management  at the  time  the  analyst
presentation  materials were prepared.  In particular,  the analyst materials in
this report include statements regarding estimated earnings per share of BB&T on
a  stand  alone  basis,  expected  cost  savings  from  the  merger,   estimated
restructuring  charges relating to the merger,  estimated increases in BankFirst
Corporation's fee income ratio, the anticipated  accretive effect of the merger,
and BB&T's anticipated  performance in future periods. With respect to estimated
cost savings and restructuring  charges,  BB&T has made assumptions about, among
other  things,  the extent of  operational  overlap  between BB&T and  BankFirst
Corporation,  the amount of general and  administrative  expense  consolidation,
costs relating to converting  BankFirst  Corporation's  bank operations and data
processing to BB&T's systems, the size of anticipated  reductions in fixed labor
costs, the amount of severance  expenses,  the extent of the charges that may be
necessary to align the companies'  respective  accounting reserve policies,  and
the cost related to the merger.  The  realization of cost savings and the amount
of restructuring  charges are subject to the risk that the foregoing assumptions
are inaccurate.

Any statements in the accompanying  exhibit regarding the anticipated  accretive
effect of the merger and BB&T's  anticipated  performance  in future periods are
subject to risks relating to, among other things,  the following  possibilities:
(1) expected cost savings from this merger or other previously announced mergers
may not be fully  realized  or realized  within the  expected  time  frame;  (2)
deposit attrition,  customer loss or revenue loss following proposed mergers may
be greater than expected;  (3) competitive  pressure among  depository and other
financial  institutions  may increase  significantly;  (4) costs or difficulties
related to the  integration of the  businesses of BB&T and its merger  partners,
including BankFirst  Corporation,  may be greater than expected;  (5) changes in
the  interest  rate  environment  may reduce  margins;  (6) general  economic or
business conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than
expected,  resulting in, among other things,  a deterioration in credit quality,
or a reduced demand for credit; (7) legislative or regulatory changes, including
changes in accounting  standards,  may adversely  affect the businesses in which
BB&T and BankFirst Corporation are engaged; (8) adverse changes may occur in the
securities  markets;  and (9) competitors of BB&T and BankFirst  Corporation may
have  greater  financial   resources  and  develop  products  that  enable  such
competitors to compete more successfully than BB&T and BankFirst Corporation.

BB&T believes these forward-looking  statements are reasonable;  however,  undue
reliance  should  not be placed on such  forward-looking  statements,  which are
based  on  current   expectations.   Such   statements  are  not  guarantees  of
performance.  They involve  risks,  uncertainties  and  assumptions.  The future
results and  shareholder  value of BB&T  following  completion of the merger may
differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many
of the  factors  that  will  determine  these  results  and  values  are  beyond
management's ability to control or predict.

                                                                               1

                            Rationale For Acquisition

-   BB&T has an announced strategy to pursue in-market (Carolinas/Virginia/West
    Virginia/DC/Maryland/Georgia) and contiguous state acquisitions of high
    quality banks and thrifts in the $250 million to $10 billion range.  The
    acquisition of BankFirst Corporation is consistent with this strategy.
-   This acquisition is very consistent with past acquisitions which we have
    successfully executed, i.e. it fits our model.


                                                                              14
<PAGE>


                              Strategic Objectives

The key strategic objectives achieved in this acquisition:
-   Enhances franchise value as it expands BB&T's branch distribution system
    along the I-75/81 corridors; serving contiguous markets to BB&T's existing
    presence in Dalton, Georgia and western North Carolina and Virginia
    communities.
-   Improves efficiency
    -   20% cost savings fully realized in the first 12 months of operations
        following conversion.
-   Supplements BankFirst's strong commercial banking franchise with BB&T's
    retail products and delivery strategy.
-   Increases product and market penetration through the use of BB&T's world
    standard sales system.


                                                                              15
<PAGE>

                              Franchise Enhancement

-   Acquisition of a successful $848.8 million community bank that has an
    operating philosophy and core values very similar to those of BB&T.
-   Provides BB&T with a strong market presence along the I-75/81 corridors in
    eastern Tennessee.
-   Significant cross-sell opportunities from addition of BB&T's broad product
    line.

of the sum of recurring net interest income on a fully taxable  equivalent basis
and recurring noninterest income.

shareholders.
