The Corporation's subsidiaries are predominantly engaged in banking. Foreign banking activities and operations other than banking are not significant. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for each of the periods. Certain amounts previously reported in 1995 have been reclassified for comparative purposes. 8 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) 2.

Options to purchase 309,590 shares of common stock were outstanding on June 30, 1996. A total of 609,937 shares of common stock were reserved at June 30, 1996: 98,247 shares for the conversion of preferred stock and 511,690 shares for stock options and stock appreciation rights. 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share of common stock for the six months ended June 30, after giving effect to dividends on preferred stock of $23,000 in 1996 and $24,000 in 1995, are based on 33,759,000 and 34,089,000 average shares, respectively. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the second quarter increased 4% to $28.574 million compared to the $27.572 million earned in the second quarter of 1995. Due to a lower number of shares outstanding in 1996, earnings per share increased at a slightly higher rate of 5% to $.85 per share compared to the $.81 per share earned in 1995. The return on average assets remained unchanged at an excellent level of 1.40%, while the return on average shareholders' equity of 13.14% improved over the first quarter's 13.00% but was down slightly compared to the prior year quarter's 13.33%. Average assets in the second quarter of 1996 increased 4% to $8.150 billion compared to the prior year's quarter. 11 For the first six months, net income of $56.957 million was up 4% compared to the $54.770 million earned in 1995, while earnings per share increased 5% to $1.69 per share compared to the previous year's $1.61. The return on average assets for the first six months of 1996 equaled the 1.40% earned in 1995 while the return on average shareholders' equity of 13.07% declined slightly from the 13.34% earned in 1995 due to an increase in the corporation's equity. Encouragingly, the net interest margin increased for the second consecutive quarter. After dipping to 4.85% in the fourth quarter of 1995, the net interest margin has been steadily increasing and returned above 5.00% in the second quarter to 5.04%. This compared favorably to the 5.01% earned in the prior year's second quarter. The combination of increasing yields on the reinvestment of maturing loans and investments, a greater mix of earning assets in relatively higher-yielding loans and a continued, modest decline in the cost of funds, resulted in the increase in margin and if this trend continues, then the margin should achieve a level of 5.00% or better as it has for every year since 1978. The pickup in loan activity at the end of the first quarter continued throughout the second quarter. For the first six months of 1996, automobile loan production is up over 40% compared to the first six months of 1995 and consumer installment loan production in the branches is up over 25%. Increased activity in new loan production offices and existing consumer markets has resulted in an increase in production each month this year as the corporation continues to maintain its primary focus on the highest quality retail paper. Commercial loan demand has strengthened considerably, and the volume of new loan inquiries for business expansion and development resulted in an increase in annualized average commercial loans outstanding of 9% compared to the first quarter. Residential real estate loan activity weakened in the latter part of the quarter as rising interest rates dampened refinancing activity and spending for new homes in the corporation's market areas. However, the improving economy resulted in an increase in commercial real estate lending activity. Overall, total loans outstanding increased at an annualized rate of 12% on a linked quarter basis. Average deposits increased slightly compared to the first quarter and were up 3% compared to the prior year's second quarter, mirroring the flatness in deposits nationwide. The strength of the stock market has led to record consumer purchases of mutual funds, which has been responsible for some of the lack of growth in deposits. A change in the mix of deposits helped to lower the overall cost of funds as average demand deposits increased on an annualized basis over the first quarter by 15% while average interest checking, money market and consumer savings plans were all relatively unchanged. Higher-costing certificates of deposit declined 6% on an annualized basis compared to the first quarter, and their cost declined by 11 basis points. Asset quality remains at a historically high level, although some measurements have declined slightly compared to the much better-than-normal ratios of the last several years. The increased laxity of bankruptcy laws in the past several years has diminished the protection a creditor has in recovering its loans, and this has been particularly apparent in the credit card and real estate loan areas. While First Virginia's ratios are considerably better than the industry, we have seen a gradual increase in 12 recent quarters in charge-offs and delinquencies. Annualized net charge-offs in the second quarter increased eight basis points to .28% compared to the first quarter and, for the first six months, were .24% compared to the .16% in the same period of 1995. Due in part to the increase in net charge-offs, and in a larger part to the growth in loans, the provision for loan losses increased to $5.861 million compared to $2.290 million in the first quarter and $2.084 million in the second quarter of 1995. The reserve for loan losses was increased slightly to 1.16% from 1.15% and covers annualized net charge-offs 4.92 times. Nonperforming assets declined 4% to $28.203 million and represent .54% of outstanding loans compared to $29.525 million and .59% of outstanding loans at the end of the first quarter and .55% of outstanding loans at June 30, 1995. Loans past due 90 days or more declined to $7.075 million or .14% of outstanding loans compared to $7.385 million and .15% at the end of the prior quarter and $5.161 million and .10% of loans at the end of the second quarter of 1995. A summary of nonperforming and delinquent loans is as follows: 1996 1995 ------- ------- (Dollars in thousands) Nonaccruing loans $15,493 $16,082 Restructured loans 5,862 4,114 Foreclosed real estate 6,848 7,265 ------- ------- Total $28,203 $27,461 ======= ======= Percentage of total loans .54% .55% ======= ======= Loans past due 90 days or more $ 7,075 $ 5,161 ======= ======= Percentage of total loans .14% .10% ======= ======= Noninterest income increased 2% compared to the prior year's second quarter and was up 7% compared to the first quarter. During the second quarter, the corporation followed its normal annual practice of selling a package of mortgage servicing rights that produced a gain of $1.5 million compared to the $2.5 million and $2.4 million gains in the prior two years' second quarters. Fee income from auto lease origination activity is up 6.5 times compared to the first six months of 1995 while title insurance commissions are up 5.6 times over 1995. Both of these products were introduced in early 1995 and continue to grow strongly. Most other income categories increased consistent with normal volume and inflation expectations. Noninterest expenses increased slightly compared to the prior year's second quarter and were 2% higher than in the first quarter. During the quarter, the corporation recognized a $1.2 million charge-off of a suspected kite and also increased the loan loss provision by $.8 million for potential losses on loans to the same party. With the assessment on bank deposits virtually eliminated for 1996, FDIC insurance expense declined $3.5 million 13 compared to the prior year's second quarter. Equipment expense increased 14% during the second quarter compared to the 1995 quarter as a result of the corporation's upgrade of the branch automation system which will serve to further enhance customer service and sales. Reflecting the increase in revenues and the corporation's continued efforts to control costs, the efficiency ratio for the second quarter improved further to 56.2% compared to the 58.5% achieved in the first quarter. During the quarter, the corporation purchased 707,600 shares of common stock and completed the repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in 1994 to retire 2.7 million shares of stock. In May, the Board authorized a new repurchase program to buy an additional 2.5 million shares of stock - approximately 7.6% of the outstanding shares.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of First Virginia Banks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three- month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and shareholders' equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of First Virginia Banks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated January 17, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. /S/ Ernst & Young LLP _____________________ Ernst & Young LLP Washington, D.
