Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Crestar Financial Corporation And Subsidiaries

(1) General
The consolidated financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The
accompanying interim statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements, including adjustments related to completed
business combinations, have been included. All adjustments are of a normal
nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years'
consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation. The notes
included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated
financial statements included in the Corporation's 1997 Annual Report and Form
10-K and first quarter 1998 Form 10-Q.
  On April 15, 1998, Crestar acquired Executive Auto Leasing, Inc. (Executive),
a privately-held auto leasing company based in Maryland with total assets of
approximately $21 million at date of acquisition. The acquisition of Executive
has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, whereby the
purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at date of
acquisition. Crestar's second quarter 1998 financial statements include the
results of operations of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed from
Executive from the date of purchase. Results of operations of Executive did not
have a material impact on Crestar's consolidated operating results for the
second quarter of 1998.
  Intangible assets consisted of goodwill and deposit based intangibles, having
a combined balance of $199.1 million and $171.9 million at June 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively, and favorable lease rights of $344,000 and $400,000,
respectively.
  Capitalized mortgage servicing rights of $105.2 million and $45.9 at June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, were included in other assets in the consolidated
financial statements. Mortgage servicing rights of approximately $73 million and
$11 million were capitalized during the first six months of 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights was
approximately $126 million at June 30, 1998. Amortization of capitalized
mortgage servicing rights was approximately $12 million and $6 million in the
first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
  During the first six months of 1998 and 1997, Crestar capitalized interest of
$1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, associated with construction in
progress.

The period-end net unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, net
of tax, is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive
income." For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the
net unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale reflected in the
Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity is net of reclassification
adjustments for gains from sale of securities, net of tax, as included in net
income. Gains from the sale of securities during the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1998 totaled $2.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Net of
income tax expense of approximately $0.9 million, and $1.8 million for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1998, the gains resulted in
reclassification adjustments of $1.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Gains (losses) from sale of securities during the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1997 totaled $(0.1) million and $4.0 million, respectively. Net
of income tax expense (benefit) of approximately $(40) thousand and $1.4 million
for the three months and six months ended, June 30, 1997, the gains (losses)
resulted in reclassification adjustments of $(60) thousand and $2.6 million,
respectively.
  At June 30, 1998, the amortized cost and market value of Mortgage-backed
obligations of Federal agencies includes the amortized cost and market value,
respectively, of interest rate caps purchased to hedge the probable market value
decline in a rising interest rate environment. The interest rate caps, which
have a notional balance of $1.75 billion, have a cost basis of $9.7 million and
a market value of $297,000 at June 30, 1998. The cost basis of the interest rate
caps is being amortized as a reduction of interest income on securities
available for sale. Amortization of the cost basis of the interest rate caps
totaled $1.3 million and $2.7 million for the three month and six month periods
ended March 31, 1998, respectively

million with an allowance of $2.2 million, respectively. All impaired loans had
an allocated valuation allowance at June 30, 1998 and 1997. Collateral dependent
loans, which were measured at the fair value of the collateral, constituted 100%
of impaired loans at June 30, 1998. The average recorded investment in impaired
loans for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $14.3 million and

The Corporation made income tax payments of $71.2 million and $77.2 million
during the first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. At June 30, 1998,
the Corporation had a net deferred income tax asset of $95.2 million. There was
no valuation allowance relating to the net deferred income tax asset. Crestar
has sufficient taxable income in the available carryback period to realize all
of its deferred income tax assets.


(11)  Commitments And Contingencies
Legally binding, unfunded commitments to extend credit were $12.1 billion and
$9.7 billion at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Standby letters of credit,
which are conditional commitments that guarantee the performance of customers to
a third party, were $431 million at June 30, 1998.
  Recourse obligations on mortgage loans serviced of $1.8 billion at June 30,
1998 included $1.1 billion which was insured by agencies of the Federal
government or private insurance companies. Recourse obligations also included
$94 million of contractual recourse liability accepted by Crestar on mortgage
loan sales to Federal agencies and $141 million on certain mortgage loan sales
to private investors.
  For interest rate risk management purposes at June 30, 1998, Crestar was using
interest rate (fixed receive) swaps with notional balances of $1.575 billion to
convert floating rate commercial and instalment loans to fixed rates. Crestar
was using purchased interest rate caps with notional balances of $1.95 billion
to hedge the market value of fixed rate securities available for sale and real
estate income property loans and $1.055 billion to minimize interest rate risk
associated with rising rates on floating rate money market deposits. Crestar was
using purchased interest rate floors with notional balances of $100 million and
$150 million to hedge the fair value of fixed rate domestic time deposits and
the prepayment risk associated with fixed rate real estate mortgage loans,
respectively. The carrying value and net unrealized gain on these swaps, caps
and floors were $22.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, at June 30, 1998.
As a financial intermediary for customers, Crestar had $236.6 million in
offsetting swap, $23.7 million in offsetting cap and $8 million in offsetting
collar agreements at June 30, 1998.
  The notional amount of these over-the-counter traded interest rate swaps, caps
and collars does not fully represent Crestar's credit and market exposure, which
the Corporation believes is a combination of current replacement cost of
approximately $29.5 million, less collateral held of approximately $17.1
million, plus an amount for prospective market movement. Two counterparties
constituted 17% and 10% of the estimated credit and market exposure of $61.4
million at June 30, 1998.
  Crestar also had forward agreements outstanding at June 30, 1998, which are
primarily used to reduce the interest rate risk arising from changes in market
rates from the time residential mortgage lending commitments are made until
those commitments are funded. The net unrealized loss on such forward agreements
was $3.5 million at June 30, 1998.
  Certain litigation is pending or threatened against Crestar. Management, in
consultation with legal counsel, is of the opinion that there is no pending or
threatened litigation that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a
material impact on the Corporation's financial condition or financial statements
beyond liabilities established for this purpose.

(12)  Subsequent Events
On July 20, 1998 Crestar and Suntrust Banks, Inc. (SunTrust) announced the
signing of a definitive agreement to merge. The terms of the merger call for a
tax-free exchange of 0.96 shares of SunTrust common stock for each outstanding
share of Crestar common stock. The pooling-of-interests combination is expected
to be completed during the fourth quarter of 1998, and is subject to the
approval of regulatory authorities, in addition to shareholders of both
companies. Upon completion of the merger, Crestar will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SunTrust, and will operate under its current name and management
as one of SunTrust's four locally-focused bank holding companies. SunTrust
expects to incur pre-tax merger charges of approximately $250 million in the
fourth quarter of 1998.
  In July 1998, Crestar announced that Fleet Financial Group had agreed to
purchase approximately $576 million of Crestar's outstanding bank card loans.
The accounts and balances represent performing bank card loans to borrowers
located outside of Crestar's primary market. Under terms of the transaction,
Crestar anticipates recognizing a pre-tax gain, during the third quarter of
1998, of approximately $54 million. Crestar's noninterest expenses are also
expected to be higher in the third quarter of 1998, in comparison to prior
quarters, in recognition of certain incremental expenses. The consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 reflects the transfer of $603 million in bank
card loans from the loan portfolio to loans held for sale. In addition to the
principal balance of the bank card loans, $35 million in allowance for loan
losses specifically related to the bank card loans held for sale was
transferred.
