CCB FINANCIAL CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Financial Statements and Schedules December 31, 1998 and 1997 (With Independent Auditors' Report Thereon) Independent Auditors' Report The Retirement Committee CCB Financial Corporation: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the CCB Financial Corporation Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 net assets available for plan benefits of the CCB Financial Corporation Retirement Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The fund information in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CCB FINANCIAL CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1998 and 1997 1. Description of the Plan The CCB Financial Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan sponsored by CCB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries ("CCBF") for its employees. The Plan was established effective April 1, 1983 for the purpose of promoting the future economic welfare of CCBF's employees. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and present the net assets available for plan benefits and the changes in those net assets. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition Investments in mutual funds are valued at fair value based on quoted market prices of the underlying fund securities. The investment in CCBF common stock is stated at fair value based on quoted market values. Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid. Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan administrator 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 additions to and deductions from net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made in order to make the 1997 presentation conform with the current year. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets available for plan benefits. 3. Participation in the Plan Under terms of the Plan, employees are eligible to participate in the Plan at age 21 upon completion of one year of continuous employment in which they complete at least 1,000 hours of service. 4. Contributions Tax deferred contributions to the Plan are made through payroll deductions by employees in amounts equal to whole percentages, from 1% to 17%, of their compensation. CCBF currently matches these contributions which are less than or equal to 6% of compensation at a rate of 50%. This rate may be increased or decreased by the Board of Directors. Participant contributions were limited to $10,000 and $9,500 per employee in 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, the Board of Directors may grant profit sharing contributions to the Plan. Such contributions were made in 1998 and 1997 totaling $1,222,953 and $915,187, respectively. These contributions are invested in the CCBF Stock Fund. Profit sharing contributions are allocated proportionately based on employees' compensation among participants who completed 1,000 hours of service during the Plan year and who were employed on the last day of the Plan year, or who died, became disabled or retired during the Plan year. 5. Vesting and Forfeitures Participants are fully vested in their employee contributions and the related investment earnings. Participants become vested in their employer contributions in increasing percentages as years of service increase and become fully vested after six years of service. Immediate vesting occurs upon reaching normal retirement age under the Plan, early retirement age, or upon death or disability. Although it has not expressed an intent to do so, CCBF has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan. In the event of plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts. Upon termination of service to CCBF for reasons other than retirement, disability or death, any unvested portion of a participant's account is subject to possible forfeiture upon occurrence of one or more events specified by the Plan. Forfeitures are used to reduce subsequent contributions by CCBF. 6. Investment Election The Plan includes five different investment funds: Bond Fund, Stock Fund, Money Market Fund, Balanced Fund and CCBF Stock Fund. These funds contain investments in bonds, common and preferred stocks, and money market funds. Participants may elect to direct their contributions to any combination of the funds. Changes to future contributions can be made effective as of any business day. Transfers of existing account balances can be made daily to and from all funds, except the CCBF Stock Fund, which can be made four times in a calendar year. However, transfers from the CCBF Stock Fund derived from profit sharing contributions are prohibited. 7. Withdrawals and Distributions The Plan allows hardship withdrawals of a participant's tax-deferred, voluntary contributions, rollover contributions and the vested portion of employer contributions subject to certain regulations under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Upon termination of employment, a participant may receive a lump sum distribution or may elect to leave the entire balance, if greater than $5,000, in the Plan until age 65. 8. Determination of Participants' Account Balances The Plan shifted to daily valuation beginning July 1, 1997. Participants' account balances are determined as follows: * Employee contributions and matching employer contributions are added to the participants' accounts for each type of investment fund. * Discretionary profit sharing contributions are added to the CCBF Stock Fund. * Participants' accounts are reduced by the amount of any withdrawals made. * Earnings from each investment fund are allocated daily within that fund based upon the ratio that each participant's adjusted account balance, as defined in the Plan, bears to the total of all participants' adjusted account balances. 9. Investments During 1998 and 1997, the Plan's investments (including investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value as follows: 		1998 	1997 Common stock of CCB Financial Corporation	 $3,418,036	20,254,356 CCB Bond Fund	 65,854 	242,490 Dodge and Cox Balanced Fund	 (91,398) 	(811,596) Janus Worldwide Fund	 123,543 	(41,016) Managers Special Equity Fund	 6,931	 6,473 Vanguard Index 500 Fund	 1,776,916 	1,487,352 Vanguard Money Market Fund	 -	 66,677 		$5,299,882	21,204,736 Investments exceeding five percent of Plan assets at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows: 			1998 			1997 		Units, 	Units, 		shares or 	Fair 	shares or 	Fair 		par value 	value par value 	value Common stock of 	CCB Financial Corporation	 985,939 $56,198,523	1,008,392	$54,201,070 CCB Bond Fund	 626,208 	6,437,416 659,336 	6,712,038 Vanguard Index 500 Fund	 78,168 8,907,236 71,717 	6,459,528 Other	 - 	7,875,788 	- 6,168,220 			$79,418,963 	$ 73,540,856 10. Federal Income Taxes The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed CCBF by letter dated May 5, 1993 that the Plan, in form, is qualified and the trust established under the Plan is tax-exempt under the appropriate sections of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is operating in compliance with applicable requirements of the IRC. 11. Related Party Transactions The Plan's investments are held by the Trust Department of Central Carolina Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCBF. The Plan purchased 27,255 and 181,550 shares of common stock of CCBF at a cost of $2,731,576 and $6,296,489 in 1998 and 1997 respectively. 25,198 and 33,080 shares of CCBF common stock were sold by the Plan in 1998 and 1997, respectively for $1,702,992 and $1,316,506, respectively. The Plan also earned cash dividends on its CCBF shares of $1,125,954 and $927,860 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Plan purchased 123,753 and 100,140 units of the CCB Bond Fund, a mutual fund of the Bank, at a cost of $1,267,461 and $1,004,022 during 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Plan sold 156,881 and 400,734 units of the CCB Bond Fund resulting in proceeds of $1,607,938 and $4,003,186 during 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Plan purchased 14,956 units of 111 Corcoran Equity Fund, a mutual fund of the Bank at a cost of $245,000 during 1997. The Plan sold 3,284 units of 111 Corcoran Equity Fund resulting in proceeds of $53,000 during 1997. The 111 Corcoran Equity Fund was terminated effective April 1, 1997. The fund balance was transferred to the Vanguard Index 500 Fund. The Plan has a depository relationship with the Bank. Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by CCBF.
