CCB Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 (Unaudited) (1) Consolidation and Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of CCB Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Central Carolina Bank and Trust Company ("CCB"), American Federal Bank, FSB ("AmFed") and Central Carolina Bank - Georgia. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts and results of operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of CCB: CCB Investment and Insurance Service Corporation, CCBDE, Inc. and Southland Associates, Inc., and AmFed: American Service Corporation, Finance South, Mortgage North and AMFEDDE, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts are eliminated in consolidation. The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 125") on January 1, 1997. The implementation of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition to the restatement of prior year financial data for the mergers discussed in Note 2, certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported. (2) Mergers and Acquisitions On August 1, 1997, the Corporation merged with AmFed, a $1.3 billion financial institution headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. The merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and effected through a tax-free exchange of stock. Each outstanding share of AmFed common stock was exchanged for .445 of a share of the Corporation's common stock. Consequently, the Corporation issued approximately 4,933,000 shares of common stock and cash in-lieu of fractional shares for all of the outstanding shares of AmFed. On January 31, 1997, the Corporation merged with Salem Trust Bank ("Salem Trust"), a $165 million bank based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The merger was accounted for as a pooling-of interests and was effected through a tax-free exchange of stock. Each outstanding share of Salem Trust common stock was converted into .36 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Consequently, the Corporation issued approximately 680,000 shares of common stock and cash in-lieu of fractional shares for all of the outstanding shares of Salem Trust. In accordance with the accounting for poolings-of-interest, the financial statements of the Corporation have been restated to reflect the merger as if it had been effective as of the earliest period presented.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $2,963,000 and $2,773,000 at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Additionally, there is value associated with servicing originated prior to January 1, 1996 for which the carrying value is zero in accordance with the accounting standards in effect at the time. No valuation allowance for capitalized MSRs was required at September 30, 1997 or 1996. (7) Contingencies Certain legal claims have arisen in the normal course of business, which, in the opinion of management and counsel, will have no material adverse effect on the financial position of the Corporation or its subsidiaries. (8) Management Opinion The financial statements in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (none of which were other than normal accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to aid in the understanding and evaluation of financial conditions and changes therein and results of operations of CCB Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Central Carolina Bank and Trust Company ("CCB"), American Federal Bank, FSB ("AmFed") and Central Carolina Bank-Georgia ("CCB-Ga.") (collectively "the Banks"), and the wholly-owned subsidiaries of CCB: CCB Investment and Insurance Service Corporation ("CCBI"), CCBDE, Inc. and Southland Associates, Inc. and of AmFed: American Service Corporation, Finance South, Mortgage North and AMFEDDE, Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. This discussion and analysis is intended to complement the unaudited financial statements and footnotes and the supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and should be read in conjunction therewith. On January 31, 1997, the Corporation effected a merger with Salem Trust Bank ("Salem Trust"), a $165 million bank headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and was effected through a tax-free exchange of stock. On August 1, 1997, the Corporation effected a merger with American Federal Bank, FSB, a $1.3 billion financial institution headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. The merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and was effected through a tax-free exchange of stock. The Corporation's financial statements have been restated to reflect the mergers as if they had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. In connection with the mergers, the Corporation recorded merger-related expense of $17.3 million (or $12.6 million after-tax). With these mergers, the Corporation exceeded $7 billion in assets and has over 200 branch offices in a market area that spans 40 counties across the Carolinas. Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 amounted to $15.3 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from the same period in 1996. Net income per share was $.74 in 1997, a $.06 decrease from the 1996 period. Returns on average assets and average shareholders' equity in 1997 were .87% and 9.33%, respectively, compared to 1.00% and 11.44%, respectively, in the 1996 period. During the third quarters of both 1997 and 1996, the Corporation experienced significant levels of non-recurring items. In the third quarter of 1997, the Corporation recorded $11.9 million (after-tax) of merger-related expense. In the same period of 1996, non-recurring items included a tax benefit of $1.6 million for the forgiveness of the recapture of tax bad debt reserves of a former savings bank subsidiary and a $13.9 million FDIC special assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (collectively $6.9 million after-tax). Excluding the impact of these non-recurring items results in earnings per share of $1.31 for the third quarter of 1997 and $1.14 for the same period in 1996. Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Income Analyses on a taxable equivalent basis for each of the periods are included in Table 1. Interest-earning assets increased from the third quarter of 1996 by $367.0 million or 5.9%. During the third quarter, average loans increased at an annualized rate of 11.7% over the second quarter of 1997. As in the first and second quarters of 1997, during the third quarter the mix of interest-earning assets continued to shift from lower-earning investments and time deposits in other banks to higher- earning loans compared to the same periods in 1996. In conjunction with this favorable shift in the mix of earning assets, the overall yield on earning assets increased 10 basis points to 8.48% from 1996's yield of 8.38%. The cost of interest-bearing funds increased by 4 basis points in the 1997 period to 4.58%. As a result, the interest rate spread and net interest margin increased by 6 and 12 basis points, respectively, to 3.90% and 4.67%. Increased volume of earning assets was primarily responsible for the $9.4 million increase in interest income earned in the third quarter of 1997 as earning assets experienced only modest increases in average yield earned compared to 1996. Increases in savings and time deposit volume was the primary cause of the $4.4 million increase in deposit expense for the third quarter of 1997. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased by $6.2 million or 8.6% during the 1997 period.

(2) The average loan and lease financing balances include non-accruing loans and lease financing. Loan fees of $3,012,000 and $2,500,000 for 1997 and 1996, respectively, are included in interest income. (3) The average balances for debt and equity securities exclude the effect of their mark-to-market adjustment, if any. (4) Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by total earning assets. (5) Interest rate spread equals the earning asset yield minus the interest-bearing liability rate. The provision for loan and lease losses for the third quarter of 1997 and 1996 was $5.4 million. However, the 1997 third quarter provision exceeded the first and second quarter 1997 provisions due to a $1.6 million special provision made for three AmFed credit relationships. Net 1997 third quarter loan and lease charge-offs amounted to $1.8 million or .14% (annualized) of average loans and lease financing compared to $3.5 million or .30% (annualized) experienced in the third quarter of 1996. The net charge-off ratio, excluding credit cards, totaled .04% (annualized) for 1997 and .15% (annualized) for 1996. The reserve for loan and lease losses to loans and lease financing outstanding was 1.34% at September 30, 1997 and 1.29% at September 30, 1996. Other income, excluding investment securities transactions, increased $1.3 million in the third quarter of 1997 to $22.9 million. The increase was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts which resulted from increased deposit volume. Other expenses increased in the 1997 period by $3.1 million. Other expenses for the 1997 period include $16.2 million of merger-related expense. Such expenses included severance and other employee benefit costs, costs related to excess facilities, systems conversion costs and other restructuring and transaction-related expenses. Included in the other expenses for the third quarter of 1996 is the $13.9 million special assessment levied by the FDIC to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund. Excluding the impact of these two items, other expense from third quarter 1996 to 1997 remained relatively flat at only an $800,000 increase. Excluding the impact of the merger-related expense and FDIC special assessment, net overhead (noninterest expense less noninterest income) as a percentage of average assets, decreased to 1.56% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 1.66% for the same period in 1996. The decrease was due to decreases in occupancy and equipment expense and other operating expense; personnel expense as a percentage of average assets was flat quarter to quarter. The Corporation's efficiency ratio (noninterest expense as a percentage of taxable equivalent net interest income and other income), excluding the impact of merger-related expense and the FDIC special assessment, improved from 53.00% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to 50.07% for the same period in 1997. The improvement in the efficiency ratio resulted primarily from the improved interest margin as previously discussed and the containment of costs despite rising volume of assets. The following schedule presents noninterest income and expense as a percentage of average assets for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. 1997 1996 Noninterest income 1.31 % 1.33 Personnel expense 1.62 1.62 Occupancy and equipment expense .39 .43 Other operating expense (1) .86 .94 Noninterest expense 2.87 2.99 Net overhead 1.56 % 1.66 _______________________________ (1) Excludes merger-related expense of $16.2 million in 1997 and FDIC special assessment of $13.9 million in 1996. The effective income tax rate was a higher than normal 41.9% in 1997 due to certain non-deductible merger-related expense. For the same period of 1996, the effective income tax rate was a lower than normal 26.4% due to a $1.6 million tax benefit recorded for forgiveness of the recapture of tax bad debt reserves of a former savings bank subsidiary. Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 amounted to $67.7 million, an increase of $5.2 million from the same period in 1996. Net income per share was $3.27 in 1997, a $.25 per share or 8.3% increase from the 1996 period. Returns on average assets and average shareholders' equity in 1997 were 1.31% and 14.35%, respectively, compared to 1.28% and 14.67%, respectively, in the 1996 period. Non-recurring items recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were merger-related expense totaling $12.6 million (after- tax) and $1.4 million of gain (after-tax) generated from the sale of an AmFed subsidiary. The net effect of these two items was to decrease 1997 earnings per share by $.54. Non-recurring items recognized during the same period of 1996 were the previously discussed FDIC special assessment and forgiveness of tax bad debt recapture. The after-tax net effect of these two items was to decrease 1996 earnings per share by $.34. Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Income Analyses on a taxable equivalent basis for each of the nine-month periods are included in Table 2. Interest-earning assets increased by $395.6 million or 6.4% in the 1997 period. Despite a 6 basis point drop in the yield on loans, increased yields on investments and other earning assets and a favorable shift in the mix of earning assets resulted in a 7 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets. The increases in yield on interest-earnings assets and flat rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a 7 basis point increase in the interest rate spread compared to 1996. Due to an increased free liability contribution, the net interest margin rose 13 basis points to 4.67% compared to 1996's 4.54%. The provision for loan and lease losses for the first nine months of 1997 was $12.9 million compared to $12.6 million in 1996. The higher provision was recorded in 1997 due to the loan growth experienced in 1997 and the previously discussed third quarter special provision of $1.6 million. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .21% in 1997 and .25% in 1996 (annualized). Excluding credit card net charge-offs, the ratios drop to .08% and .11% (annualized), respectively. Other income, excluding investment securities transactions, increased $8.6 million in the first nine months of 1997 to $68.9 million. The increase was due primarily to a $3.5 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts due to the higher volume of deposit accounts; an increase in sales and insurance commissions of $1.5 million and the previously discussed gain on sale of an AmFed subsidiary of $2.3 million (pre-tax). After excluding the merger-related expense and FDIC special assessment from 1997 and 1996's other expenses, that expense category increased by $8.8 million from 1996 to 1997. The increase is primarily explained by the increase in personnel expense which increased $7.2 million from 1996's level. The increase was due to general salary increases, a larger workforce due to alternative delivery initiatives and more emphasis on incentive-based compensation. Additional smaller increases in other expenses were recognized for telecommunications, general insurance and postage and freight. These increases were largely offset by lower FDIC insurance premiums which caused deposit insurance expense to drop $2.0 million from 1996's level of $3.9 million. As a result of the aforementioned changes, net overhead as a percentage of average assets, excluding the impact of the previously discussed non-recurring items, decreased to 1.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 1.72% for the same period in 1996. The Corporation's efficiency ratio, excluding the impact of the non- recurring items, improved from 53.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to 51.88% for the same period in 1997. The improvement in both of these ratios indicates that the Corporation's revenues are increasing faster than its expenses.

The following schedule presents noninterest income and expense as a percentage of average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. 1997 1996 Noninterest income (1) 1.30 % 1.25 Personnel expense 1.66 1.61 Occupancy and equipment expense .41 .43 Other operating expense (2) .91 .93 Noninterest expense 2.98 2.97 Net overhead 1.68 % 1.72 _______________________________ (1) Excludes gain on sale of subsidiary of $2.3 million in 1997. (2) Excludes merger-related expense of $17.3 million in 1997 and FDIC special assessment of $13.9 million in 1996. The effective income tax rates were 37.4% in 1997 and 32.9% in 1996. Non-deductible merger-related expense resulted in the higher effective tax rate experienced in the first nine months of 1997. The effective tax rate for 1996 was impacted by the $1.6 million tax benefit recorded for forgiveness of tax bad debt recapture. Financial Condition The Corporation's assets exceeded the $7 billion mark during the third quarter of 1997. Excluding the $14 million of assets sold in connection with the sale of an AmFed subsidiary, total assets have increased $326 million since September 30, 1996. This growth was internally generated and the majority of the increase occurred in interest-earning assets. Average assets have increased from $6.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $6.9 billion for the same period in 1997. At September 30, 1997, risk assets (consisting of nonaccrual loans and lease financing, foreclosed real estate, restructured loans and lease financing and accruing loans 90 days or more past due) amounted to approximately $21.3 million or .43% of outstanding loans and lease financing and foreclosed real estate. This compares to approximately $25.8 million or .56% at September 30, 1996. Decreases in all categories of risk assets were responsible for the improved ratio. The reserve for loan and lease losses to risk assets was 3.13x at September 30, 1997 compared to 2.30x at September 30, 1996. The Corporation's capital position has historically been strong as evidenced by the Corporation's ratio of average shareholders' equity to average total assets of 9.14% and 8.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Increases in this ratio since September 30, 1996 are due primarily to the retention of earnings. Book value per share increased from $28.51 at September 30, 1996 to $31.87 at September 30, 1997, an 11.8% increase. The unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale, net of applicable taxes, increased $5.4 million from December 31, 1996 in conjunction with improvement in the financial markets to result in an unrealized gain at September 30, 1997 of $12.7 million. The Corporation has increased its cash dividends annually over the past 33 years. On October 21, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Corporation declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.47 payable January 2, 1998 to shareholders of record December 15, 1997. Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines which require a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be "Tier 1" capital, principally consisting of common shareholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock less certain goodwill items. The remainder, "Tier 2 capital", may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of the general reserve for loan and lease losses. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve has adopted a minimum leverage capital ratio under which a bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets of at least 3% in the case of a bank holding company which has the highest regulatory examination rating and is not contemplating significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain a leverage capital ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum. The Corporation and the Banks continue to maintain higher capital ratios than required under regulatory guidelines at September 30, 1997. September 30, Regulatory Ratio 1997 1996 Minimums Tier 1 Capital 4.00% Corporation 11.95% 11.91 CCB 11.95 11.71 AmFed 12.42 12.47 CCB-Ga. 11.91 11.13 Total Capital 8.00 Corporation 13.85 13.88 CCB 13.16 13.04 AmFed 13.67 13.72 CCB-Ga. 13.20 12.39 Leverage 4.00 Corporation 8.88 8.32 CCB 8.95 8.54 AmFed 8.51 7.20 CCB-Ga. 10.15 9.41 Accounting Issues In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the computation of earnings per share ("EPS") by replacing the presentation of "primary" earnings per share with a presentation of "basic" EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to "fully diluted" EPS under existing accounting rules. Dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS is required for complex capital structures. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997; earlier application is not permitted but restatement of prior years' EPS is required. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per share for the period ended September 30, 1997 would not have differed materially from those disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. In February 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure". The Statement establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Corporation does not anticipate that the implementation of this Statement will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 does not address issues relating to recognition or measurement for comprehensive income and its components. The provisions of the Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is permitted. If comparative financial statements are provided for earlier periods, those financial statements shall be reclassified to reflect application of the provisions of SFAS No. 130. Management does not expect that adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Also during June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and related Information". This Statement requires that public business enterprises report certain information about operating segments in complete sets of financial statements and in condensed financial statements of interim periods. It also requires that public business enterprises report certain information about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate and their major customers. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 with earlier application encouraged. Management does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a).
