BB&T LARGE CAP VALUE VIF PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW 6/3/1997 - 12/31/2005 Growth of a $10,000 investment "Performance Overview" PORTFOLIO MANAGER RICK B. JONES, CFA Senior Vice President - Director, Value Equities BB&T Asset Management, Inc. AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS (Inception 6/3/1997) 1 YEAR 5 YEAR SINCE INCEPTION ------ ------ --------------- BB&T Large Cap Value VIF 6.90% 3.78% 6.43% Russell 1000 Value Index 7.05% 5.28% 8.74% The chart represents a comparison of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the indicated Fund versus a similar investment in the Fund's benchmark, and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. (The returns include the Fund level expenses, but exclude the insurance charges). Past performance does not guarantee future results. The value of the contract will fluctuate so that when redeemed, it may be worth more or less than the original investment. INVESTMENT CONCERNS Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of the Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value. The Fund's 6.90% total return comfortably outpaced the S&P 500 Index which returned 4.91% for the one-year period, but slightly trailed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000(R) Value Index(1), which rose 7.05%. Overall the Fund's returns were solid as traditionally value oriented sectors of the stock market, like Energy and Utilities, continued to do well. The portfolio carried a full weighting in energy throughout the period and not surprisingly our two top contributors to performance were energy stocks: ConocoPhillips and Anadarko Corp. A significant contribution was also made by Hewlett Packard Co., which underwent a management change. Because we have had difficulty finding reasonably valued utility stocks, the portfolio was underweighted in a sector that did very well in 2005. Our consumer stock sector selection was also challenged. Specifically, the Albertson's Inc. stock position performed poorly, as the company rejected a buy-out bid late in the period (has since accepted a sweetened offer) and its Sara Lee holding had a bumpy start to a dramatic reshaping program, registering disappointing performance. As of December 31, 2005, the top five equity holdings in the Fund were Bank of America Corp. (3.1% of the portfolio's net assets), ConocoPhillips (2.7%), Citigroup, Inc. (2.7%), J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (2.6%) and ChevronTexaco Corp. (2.5%)(2). We continue to be disciplined in applying our diversified value investment approach. We are steadfastly focused on maintaining a diversified portfolio of financially strong companies that we believe are currently trading at reasonable valuation levels given our assessment of their prospects. The portfolio enters the new-year being overweighted healthcare and technology stocks while being most underweighted in financial and utility stocks. (1) The Fund is measured against the Russell 1000 Value Index an unmanaged index which consists of 1,000 of the largest capitalized U.S. domiciled companies.

If fees had not been reduced, the Fund's total return for the period would have been lower. 1 BB&T MID CAP GROWTH VIF PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW 10/15/2001 - 12/31/2005 Growth of a $10,000 investment "Performance Overview" PORTFOLIO MANAGER DAVID P. NOLAN Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager BB&T Asset Management, Inc. AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS (Inception 10/15/2001) 1 YEAR SINCE INCEPTION ------ --------------- BB&T Mid Cap Growth VIF 14.38% 11.26% Russell MidCap Growth Index 12.10% 10.55% The chart represents a comparison of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the indicated Fund versus a similar investment in the Fund's benchmark, and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. (The returns include the Fund level expenses, but exclude the insurance charges). Past performance does not guarantee future results. The value of the contract will fluctuate so that when redeemed, it may be worth more or less than the original investment. INVESTMENT CONCERNS Mid-capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure, and historically, their stocks have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than stocks on average Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of the Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value. The Fund produced robust performance of 14.38% during the last 12 months, nearly tripling the 2005 return of 4.91% for the S&P 500 Index and notably outpacing the Russell MidCap(R) Growth Index1 return of 12.10%. Our investments in the energy sector, such as Peabody Energy Corp. (1.7% of the portfolio's net assets), were especially productive, as we were overweight in energy for much of the period. At one point, the Fund's allocation to energy was roughly 50% higher than the allocation of our benchmark, and we reaped the benefits of energy stocks' steady climb. Another positive factor in our performance was our decision to underweight the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors in the second half of the year as concerns grew over the consumer's allocation of discretionary income in the face of rising fuel prices. Technology holdings such as Apple Computer (sold) and Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. (2.0%) were strong performers for the period. Other standouts were Celgene Corp. (2.0%) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings, Inc. (1.8%). The mid cap arena has been on a roll for quite some time, outperforming large and small cap stocks for much of the last decade. To some extent, our strong gains reflected a continuation of this long-term trend. The greatest detractors from performance during the period were found in the technology sector. Negative returns were experienced in F5 Networks (sold), and in semiconductor companies Cree, Inc. (sold) and Tessera Technologies (sold). As of December 31, 2005, the top five individual equity holdings in the Fund were American Tower Corp. - Class A (3.0%), Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. - Class A (2.3%), Comverse Technology, Inc. (2.2%), UTI Worldwide (2.1%), and Celgene Corp. (2.0%)(2). We think energy will continue to play a key role in the market going forward, and we hope to see a further upward revision of earnings estimates. Energy stocks will swing, sometimes dramatically, on short-term movements in the prices of crude oil and natural gas. But we believe energy prices are not going to retreat significantly and that positive earning "surprises" will continue. The energy sector is expected by analysts to lead the mid cap area in 2006 earnings per share growth. For now, as long as higher energy prices and the Fed's tightening bias do not contribute to a recessionary environment and the economy keeps growing at a three percent-or-better pace, then we believe that mid cap growth stocks in general should continue to provide competitive returns. In that environment, we believe that investment opportunities will be found in numerous sectors in addition to energy. Among these would be technology, health care, industrial and select financial stocks which should all show strong year-over-year earnings gains.

SCHAPPE, CFA Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer BB&T Asset Management, Inc. AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS (Inception 10/15/2001) 1 YEAR SINCE INCEPTION ------ --------------- BB&T Large Company Growth VIF 1.88% 0.88% Russell 1000 Growth Index 5.26% 2.69% The chart represents a comparison of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the indicated Fund versus a similar investment in the Fund's benchmark, and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

The value of the contract will fluctuate so that when redeemed, it may be worth more or less than the original investment. INVESTMENT CONCERNS Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of the Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value. We were not completely satisfied with the Fund's performance during the last 12 months. Although we posted a positive total return of 1.88%, we trailed our primary benchmark, the Russell 1000(R) Growth Index1 by 3.38%. The Fund underperformed its benchmark due to security selection but also because we have focused on higher quality names, which have lagged for much of the year. We believe, however, that a continued bias towards quality companies boosts return potential over the long run. Lagging behind the broader market was a group of historically strong growth stocks, such as General Electric Co. (4.2% of the portfolio's net assets), Microsoft Corp. (4.2%), Cisco Systems, Inc. (2.2%), Dell, Inc. (1.0%), and Home Depot, Inc. (1.0%); all of these stocks produced returns for the period that were below the benchmark's performance. We did, however, enjoy strong returns in a number of traditional growth sectors. In health care, such stalwarts as UnitedHealth Group, Inc. (+41% total return), WellPoint, Inc. (+32%), and Gilead Sciences, Inc. (+50%) delivered results that ranged from robust to outstanding. Technology stocks such as Motorola, Inc. (+32%) and Texas Instruments, Inc. (31%) enhanced fund returns. As of December 31, 2005, the top five equity holdings in the Fund were General Electric Co. (4.2% of the portfolio's net assets), Microsoft Corp. (4.2%), Intel Corp. (3.3%), Johnson & Johnson (3.0%), and Wal Mart Stores, Inc. (2.4%)(2). Looking out over the next six to 12 months, we believe conditions point to a relatively constructive environment for the type of high-quality growth stocks we favor. Respectable economic growth, low inflation, and the Fed adopting a neutral bias should provide a favorable backdrop for equities, in general. Because growth stocks have trailed value equities the past several years, we hope that a more normal valuation relationship between growth and value will emerge this year. As is our practice, we continue to invest in the stocks of financially strong companies with reasonable earnings growth prospects. We feel this approach should serve our shareholders well through our next fiscal year.

(The returns include the Fund level expenses, but exclude the insurance charges). Past performance does not guarantee future results. The value of the contract will fluctuate so that when redeemed, it may be worth more or less than the original investment. INVESTMENT CONCERNS Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of the Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005, the BB&T Capital Manager Equity VIF provided a total return of 6.77%. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index returned 4.91% for the same period. The Fund invests in a diversified selection of underlying portfolios from the BB&T family of mutual funds. As such, our allocation decisions play a big role in the Fund's performance. In 2005, we benefited from strong, absolute returns from the shares we owned in the BB&T Large Company Value Fund and BB&T International Equity Fund. We have a long-term strategic overweight in the value arena, which did well versus growth. Also, our strategic overweights in mid-cap and small-cap significantly contributed to our outperformance in 2005. Our substantial weighting in the BB&T International Equity Fund demonstrated the potential value of diversifying outside the U.S., as the MSCI EAFE Index(1), which tracks international stocks, gained over twice as much as the S&P 500 Index(2), our domestic equity benchmark. As of December 31, 2005, the portfolio's five largest allocations in underlying BB&T portfolios were the Large Company Value Fund (30.3% of portfolio's net assets), the Large Company Growth Fund (20.3%), the International Equity Fund (14.6%), the Equity Index Fund (12.6%), and the Mid Cap Value Fund (7.0%)(3). These five funds are the same, and in the same order, as the allocations we had one year earlier. This similarity reflects our practice of rebalancing the Fund's assets back to our strategic weightings on a regular basis. While still providing positive returns, our investment in the BB&T Large Company Growth Fund underperformed the other asset classes for the year. Looking ahead to the next twelve months, we have positive expectations for stocks, and we expect stocks to outperform bonds. Steady economic growth, relatively contained inflation, low long-term interest rates, and reasonable valuation levels all contribute to a favorable backdrop for stocks. One of the risks to this view is that corporate profit margins, currently near record levels, are being pressured by higher short-term interest rates and higher commodity prices. Although decelerating, earnings growth continues and remains healthy in a number of sectors. Other risks to our view include lower housing affordability and a peaking housing market. However, we believe capital management activity will increase. Cash on corporate balance sheets is high, which should support continued solid merger and acquisition activity, as well as potential dividend increases and share repurchases.

SHIPP, CFA Chief Investment Officer Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS (Inception 7/22/04) 1 YEAR SINCE INCEPTION ------ --------------- BB&T Special Opportunities Equity VIF 6.29% 19.18% S&P 500 Index 4.91% 11.40% The chart represents a comparison of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the indicated Fund versus a similar investment in the Fund's benchmark, and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. (The returns include the Fund level expenses, but exclude the insurance charges). Past performance does not guarantee future results. The value of the contract will fluctuate so that when redeemed, it may be worth more or less than the original investment. INVESTMENT CONCERNS Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. A concentrated portfolio may add a measure of volatility to performance, as major fluctuations in any one holding will likely affect the Fund more than a fund with greater diversification. For the full year 2005, the BB&T Special Opportunities Equity VIF produced a 6.29% gain, outpacing both the 4.91% total return of the S&P 500 Index(1) and the 6.1% result of the Russell 3000 Index. This was also only slightly ahead of the Lipper Multi-Cap Value group, which posted a 6.2% gain for the year. We manage a concentrated portfolio and were fortunate to have a few more big winners than losers. We entered October with a decent performance advantage against the market, but Hurricanes Katrina and Rita knocked a few of our companies off track. We became mesmerized by the associated spike in energy quotes and determined to hold our Apache Corp. and Pioneer Natural Resources Co. positions, even though we were well aware their Gulf of Mexico operations had been hard hit. Oil and gas quotes soon topped out due to the "demand destruction" caused by refinery and chemical outages in tandem with $3/gallon gasoline, causing the energy group to under-perform the S&P 500 by 9% in the 4th quarter. In the short term both of these stocks lagged land-focused exploration and production companies (such as Burlington, EOG, or XTO). Another fund holding, MedCath Corp. had a cardiovascular-focused hospital in Hurricane Katrina's path. Although it managed to keep its doors open throughout the disaster, that facility in a New Orleans suburb contributed to a reduced outlook. MedCath Corp. shares fell 22% during the quarter and the year. At the end of the year, though, our admiration of energy had served our clients well, as Apache Corp., Pioneer Natural Resources Co. and Weatherford International, Ltd. (a driller for energy) all posted gains exceeding 35% over the period. Late in 2005 we waved good-bye to our biggest gainer of the year, managed healthcare leader Coventry Health Care, Inc. Coventry shares were up over 50% from our original purchase price towards the end of 2005, on top of 23% gains in 2004 and a 122% rebound in 2003. That adds up to a cumulative +357%, whereas earnings have advanced 170% over those three years. The resultant doubling in P/E valuation raises risks, while at the same time logic would say that margin gains will become increasingly difficult. Healthcare risk underwriting used to be a cyclical business, so despite our strong admiration for the company's management, we decided to move on. Digital Insight, Inc. was another of our original purchases for the Fund, after shares fell on some negative short-term news just before our inception date, giving us a chance to enter around $14. Since then, we have trimmed the position on a few occasions to manage risk (wish we hadn't but hindsight is always 20/20). As much as we like the company and its prospects, today we find ourselves uncomfortable initiating positions at current levels around $33 (up 30% in 2005 alone), so we sold out of our position and took our profits. Digital Insight, Inc. sees non-GAAP EPS in a $1.04-1.06 range in 2006 (+21%), which puts the stock's P/E valuation at a "full" 35x forecasts. 5 There was bad with the good, as there will likely always be. Mistakes will be made, learned from, and actions taken. We can forgive ourselves for riding out the energy storm, but not for the red ink we spilled in printer maker Lexmark International, Inc., which reported two major reductions in its earnings outlook in 2005 on the way to seeing its value nearly cut in half. We should have taken the hint the first time, i.e. "fool me twice, shame on us." That second miss (October 3) cost us about 30% on our Lexmark position in the quarter as investors (including us) lost faith in the "razor and blade" thesis that had carried the company for about nine years. A 23% quarterly decline in security and storage software leader Symantec Corp. and 12% drop in cable operator Comcast Corp. - Class A were a little more frustrating, only because we did not see material news ("increasing competition" often is cited for both) to fully explain the serious depreciation. Ours is not a dividend-oriented portfolio, but 15 of our 28 year-end equity holdings raised their payouts in 2005, by an average 35% (median +17%). If fourth quarter earnings estimates generally are accurate, our companies' profits grew by an average 17% in 2005, superior to the still-impressive +13% expectation for the S&P 500. We believe that should be encouraging for our portfolio's 2006 prospects. As of December 31, 2005, the top five equity holdings in the Fund were Smithfield Foods, Inc. (4.2% of the portfolio's net assets), CONSOL Energy, Inc. (4.1%), Weatherford International, Ltd. (3.9%), PACCAR, Inc. (3.8%), and Comcast Corp.- Class A (3.8%)(2).

Agg. Bond Index 2.43% 3.98% The chart represents a comparison of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the indicated Fund versus a similar investment in the Fund's benchmark, and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. (The returns include the Fund level expenses, but exclude the insurance charges). Past performance does not guarantee future results. The value of the contract will fluctuate so that when redeemed, it may be worth more or less than the original investment. INVESTMENT CONCERNS Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher-quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return. The Fund is subject to the risk that principal value reacts in opposition to the movement of interest rates and that a rising interest rate environment increases the risk of loss of principal. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005, the BB&T Total Return Bond VIF produced a total return of 2.29%, compared to 2.43% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(1). Effective July 18, 2005, Sterling Capital Management LLC began serving as subadviser to the Fund*. 2005 will be remembered as the year of an active Federal Reserve, a flatter yield curve and a benevolent foreign investor. Throughout the year the Fed continued on its "measured" path of removing prior years of monetary accommodation. The Fed raised the overnight borrowing rate a total of eight times in 2005 to 4.25%. As the Fed removed monetary accommodation from an economy exhibiting amazing resilience, yields on Treasury securities from 3 months to approximately 15 years rose. The rather benign increase in core inflation along with a continued inflow of foreign capital provided a consistent bid for the long end of the Treasury curve. In fact, when looking at total returns for the year (coupon and price appreciation), long Treasury securities had the best relative returns, up approximately 9% for the year. Due to the flattening of the curve, the distant second place segment of the yield curve was the return on 6 month Treasury bills which returned 3.1% for the same time period. In 2005 the U.S. became increasingly more dependent upon the foreign investor. Spending to finance the Iraq war and the rebuilding cost associated with hurricanes in the gulf coast led to a further deterioration of the budget deficit. Increased reliance on foreign oil and Americans' preferences for imported goods led to a ballooning of the trade deficit. The inflow of foreign funds has had an increasing degree of importance in helping fund our internal shortfall. It is estimated that in 2005 70% of all new Treasuries issued were bought by foreign investors. This support has been critically important in maintaining low long-term interest rates, but the magnitude of these flows is worrisome and is a significant risk looking forward. Another important influence on rates during 2005 was the energy price spike due to the dislocation of oil and refinery capacity. The Iraq war and the unprecedented back to back hurricanes hitting the refinery rich gulf coast had a severe impact on prices and consumer confidence. However, the economy weathered these storms and appears to be once again expanding at a healthy pace. As we look forward to the year ahead the economy continues to expand at a pace that is expected to be above trend. While consensus expectations are for a slight slowing of domestic growth, the global economy is solidly gaining momentum. In 2006 corporate spending and manufacturing are expected to have a more prominent leadership role in the economy. The improved health of Corporate America that is flush with liquidity is expected to facilitate the generation of new jobs in the coming year. It is our belief that the strength of the production side of the economy will continue to create new jobs in 2006. During the last few years many of these new jobs have been created by the housing sector. While we acknowledge that there are pockets of excessive residential price appreciation, we do not believe we have a bubble in home values that is getting ready to burst. Yet we do expect the economic contribution of housing to be weaker in 2006 than in 2005. However, nearly every measure of the sector is stronger than where it was a year ago. 7 Continued new job creation is critical to our positive outlook on the economy moving forward. With lower rates and increased refinancing, consumers extracted a great deal of equity from their homes over the last several years. As rates rise, this stimulus of personal consumption will decline. Another source of optimism for us toward economic expansion is the continued growth of federal spending. Support for reconstruction of the Gulf states region is expected to go on for years. Spending for defense is expected to remain at elevated levels. On top of robust growth, we are anticipating a higher level of core inflation over the next twelve months. We feel several factors will contribute to an increase in prices. First, we believe the Chinese will eventually capitulate to political pressure from Congress and allow a second more realistic revaluation of their currency. This will reduce the downward pressure we have seen on import prices over the last several years. Second, we believe that the economy is approaching full employment and the pressure on wages will continue to rise. In addition, the "output gap", or the slack in the economy, is narrowing as the production side of the economy accelerates. History has shown that with capacity utilization above 80%, producers will be able to raise prices. Our belief that the economy is healthy and advancing combined with our expectations of higher inflation leads us to a cynical view of the current level of interest rates. Simply stated, we do not believe an investor is being sufficiently paid to have exposure to current yield levels. We view the interest rate market as range-bound with current prices at the high end and yields at the low end of the range for the next several months. Therefore, we are currently short duration in our core portfolios. From a yield curve perspective, we have shifted our positioning over the last two months. After being barbelled for most of 2005 we have moved to more of a bullet approach. Since we expect the Fed to continue to raise short rates we remain overweight in floating rate securities to participate in the anticipated upward adjustment that accompanies Fed rate increases. Security selection in the treasury, agency and taxable muni sectors detracted about 5 basis points relative to the benchmark, and sector allocations to the taxable muni sector cost us another 2 basis points of excess return. Convexity choice across all sectors was also a small detractor from performance. From a sector perspective, we remain convinced that having a portfolio that is of higher quality and higher yield is the proper strategy. We still believe that the restructuring risk in the market due to the emerging importance of private equity funds favors equity investors over bondholders. As such we are underweight credit and expect to remain so over the next few months. Due to our range-bound view towards interest rates and our concern about credit, we are overweight mortgages and structure product. We believe the high quality and superior yields offered by direct issue mortgages, commercial mortgage-backed securities and AAA rated home equity Asset Backed Securities will provide superior return opportunities over time. As of December 31, 2005, the Fund's effective duration was 4.30 years(2). Approximately 40.1% of the portfolio was invested in corporate obligations, 32.7% in U.S. Treasury and agency securities, 24.8% in collateralized mortgage-backed securities, 7.5% in cash and cash equivalents and 2.2% in municipal bonds. The Fund's average credit quality was Aa1 (as rated by Moody's)(3,4). We expect a challenging market environment for bonds in the first half of 2006. We feel our conservative posturing of the portfolio will provide us extension opportunities in the months ahead. We believe the Fed will raise rates a few more times and pause when the Fed funds rate reaches 4.75% to 5%. At this point we believe the yield curve will once again steepen and we expect to more heavily invest in Treasury securities in the intermediate part of the curve. * Sterling Capital Management LLC is a majority owned, non-bank subsidiary of BB&T Corporation, and is an affiliate of BB&T Asset Management, Inc. (1) The Fund is measured against Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index which is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. The index is unmanaged and does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities. (2) Duration is a measure of a bond's or a bond fund's price risk that is adjusted for any optionality. (3) Portfolio composition is as of December 31, 2005 and is subject to change. (4) Moody's Fund Ratings represent an opinion only, not a recommendation to buy or sell. A portion of the Fund's fees have been reduced. If fees had not been reduced, the Fund's total return for the period would have been lower. 8 BB&T VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS SUMMARY OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS (UNAUDITED) DECEMBER 31, 2005 THE BB&T

Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the BB&T Variable Insurance Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. Actual Example The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID EXPENSE RATIO ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD* DURING PERIOD 7/1/05 12/31/05 7/1/05 - 12/31/05 7/1/05 - 12/31/05 ------------- ------------- ----------------- ----------------- BB&T Large Cap Value VIF ................ $1,000.00 $1,054.40 $4.09 0.79% BB&T Mid Cap Growth VIF ................. 1,000.00 1,129.00 4.19 0.78% BB&T Large Company Growth VIF ........... 1,000.00 1,031.30 3.94 0.77% BB&T Capital Manager Equity VIF ......... 1,000.00 1,062.50 0.99 0.19% BB&T Special Opportunities Equity VIF ... 1,000.00 1,029.00 6.03 1.18% BB&T Total Return Bond VIF .............. 1,000.00 998.80 4.43 0.88% ---------- * Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year. Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each BB&T Variable Insurance Funds' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

ORGANIZATION: The BB&T Variable Insurance Funds (the "Trust") was organized on November 8, 2004, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company established as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust commenced operations on May 1, 2005 and presently offers shares of the BB&T Large Cap Value VIF, the BB&T Mid Cap Growth VIF, the BB&T Large Company Growth VIF, the BB&T Capital Manager Equity VIF, the BB&T Special Opportunities Equity VIF, and the BB&T Total Return Bond VIF (referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds"). The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value. Shares of the Funds are offered through variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The BB&T Capital Manager Equity VIF (the "Fund of Funds") invests in other Fund Portfolios as opposed to individual securities. Prior to May 1, 2005 the Funds operated as a separate series of the Variable Insurance Funds, an investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the 1940 Act as a diversified, open-end management investment company. Under the Funds' organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund of Funds seeks its investment objective of capital appreciation by investing solely in a diversified portfolio of mutual funds (the "Underlying Funds"). The Fund of Funds purchases shares of the Underlying Funds at net asset value and without sales charge. Securities Valuation--Investments in common stocks, commercial paper, corporate bonds, municipal securities, U.S. Government securities, and U.S. Government agency securities, the principal market for which is a securities exchange or an over-the-counter market, are valued at their latest available sale price (except for those securities that are traded on NASDAQ, which will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price) or in the absence of such a price, by reference to the latest available bid quotations in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The Funds may also use an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees to value certain securities. Such prices reflect fair values which may be established through the use of electronic and matrix techniques. Short-term obligations that mature in 60 days or less are valued at either amortized cost or original cost plus interest, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies, including the Fund of Funds, are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies. Investments in closed-end investment companies are valued at their fair values based upon the latest available bid prices in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The differences between cost and fair values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Fair value pricing may be used for significant events such as securities whose trading has been suspended, whose price has become stale or for which there is no currently available price. Securities Transactions and Related Income--Securities transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization/accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. When-Issued--The Funds, may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and pledge assets with a value equal to the purchase commitment for payment of the securities purchased. The value of the securities underlying when-issued securities and any subsequent fluctuation in their fair value is taken into account when determining the net asset value of the Funds, commencing with the date the Funds agree to purchase the securities. Repurchase Agreements--The Funds may acquire repurchase agreements from member banks of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and from registered broker/dealers that BB&T Asset Management, Inc. ("BB&T") deems creditworthy under guidelines 26 BB&T VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2005 approved by the Board of Trustees, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Funds plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying collateral. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price, including accrued interest. Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. Option Contracts--The Funds may write or purchase option contracts. These transactions are to hedge against changes in interest rates, security prices, currency fluctuations, and other market developments, or for the purposes of earning additional income (i.e. speculation). The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of the premium and change in fair value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as other securities owned. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. In writing an option, the Funds contract with a specified counterparty to purchase (written put option) or sell (written call option) a specified quantity (notional amount) of an underlying asset at a specified price during a specified period upon demand of the counterparty. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset, and may be required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current fair value. The BB&T Special Opportunities Equity VIF had the following transactions in written covered call options during the year ended December 31, 2005.

Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. The character of income and gains distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (i.e. reclass of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital or return of capital. Federal Income Taxes --It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to 27 BB&T VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2005 make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains earned on foreign investments at various rates. Where available, the Funds will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld. Other--Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among all Funds daily in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the BB&T Variable Insurance Funds and BB&T Funds Trusts, based upon relative net assets or on another reasonable basis. BB&T Asset Management, Inc. ("BB&T") serves as the Investment Advisor for each the BB&T Variable Insurance Fund, and BB&T Funds Trusts. 3.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights for the periods ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated February 15, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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.

("BB&TAM" or the "Adviser") with respect to all funds of the Trust and sub-advisory agreement of BB&TAM with Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser" or, collectively with the Adviser, the "Advisers") with respect to the Special Opportunities Equity VIF (collectively, the "Advisory Agreements"). The Trustees reviewed extensive material in connection with their review of the Advisory Agreements, including data from an independent provider of mutual fund data which included comparisons with industry averages for comparable funds for advisory fees and total fund expenses. The data reflected BB&TAM fee waivers in place, as well as BB&TAM's contractual investment advisory fee levels. The Board was assisted in its review by independent legal counsel, who provided a memorandum detailing the legal standards for review of the Advisory Agreements. The Board received a detailed presentation by BB&TAM, which included a fund-by-fund analysis of performance. A presentation was also provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board also deliberated outside the presence of management and the Advisers. In their deliberations, each Trustee attributed different weights to various factors involved in an analysis of whether each Advisory Agreement should be continued, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and the Advisers, as provided in the Advisory Agreements, were fair and reasonable and that continuance of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The matters addressed below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of each Adviser's senior management and the expertise of investment personnel of each Adviser responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund. The Trustees considered the overall reputation, and the capabilities and commitment of the Advisers to provide high quality service to the Trust, and the Trustees' overall confidence in each Adviser's integrity. The Trustees received information concerning the investment philosophy and investment processes applied by the Advisers in managing the Funds. The Trustees also considered information regarding regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds. The Trustees evaluated the trading practices of Scott & Stringfellow, which engages in affiliated brokerage for a majority of the portfolio trades for the Fund it sub-advises. As part of this evaluation, the Trustees received information regarding safeguards employed, such as prohibitions on principal and cross-agency trades. The Trustees also evaluated the procedures of the Advisers designed to fulfill the Advisers' fiduciary duty to the Funds with respect to possible conflicts of interest, including the Advisers' codes of ethics (regulating the personal trading of its officers and employees). With respect to BB&TAM, the Trustees particularly noted recent increased staffing and enhancements to the investment processes and systems and administration, including the retention of, and improvements initiated by, a chief investment officer. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that, with respect to the quality and nature of services to be provided by the Advisers, the scope of responsibilities was typical of those of investment advisers and sub-advisers to open-end mutual funds generally, and that the quality of the services was very satisfactory. Investment Performance The Trustees considered performance results of each Fund in absolute terms and relative to each Fund's benchmark index. It was noted that performance of the Funds over the last twelve months was generally strong. During their review, the Trustees particularly considered the strong one-year performance of the Special Opportunities Equity VIF relative to its benchmark index. After reviewing the performance of each Fund, and taking into consideration the management style, investment strategies, and prevailing market conditions during the prior year and for longer periods, the Trustees concluded that the performance of each of the Funds was satisfactory or better. Cost of Services, Including the Profits Realized by the Advisers and Affiliates The Trustees considered peer group comparable information with respect to the advisory fees charged by BB&TAM to each of the Funds, taking into consideration both contractual and actual (i.e., after waiver) fee levels. The Trustees concluded that the investment advisory fees fell within an acceptable range as compared to peer groups. The Trustees particularly noted, however, that investment advisory fees for the Special Opportunities Equity VIF exceeded the industry average. The Trustees considered that the total expense ratio for the Special Opportunities Equity VIF exceeded the industry average by only 10 basis points. The Trustees also considered the strong performance of this fund over the past twelve months, as compared to its benchmark index, and concluded that the strong performance supported the somewhat higher investment advisory fee. 33 As part of their review, the Trustees considered benefits to the Adviser aside from investment advisory fees. The Trustees reviewed administration fees received by BB&TAM and considered the fallout benefits to BB&TAM such as the research services available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the Funds' turnover. The Trustees also considered benefits to BB&TAM's affiliates, including brokerage commissions received by Scott & Stringfellow for executing trades on behalf of the Special Opportunities Equity VIF. With respect to Scott & Stringfellow, the Trustees noted that brokerage commissions were paid on the same commission schedule as employed by BB&TAM and that such brokerage arrangements were considered by the Sub-Adviser to be advantageous in terms of superior access to the market. Consideration of the reasonableness of advisory fees also took into account, where relevant, the profitability of the Advisers. In determining whether the investment advisory and sub-advisory fees (collectively, the "investment advisory fees") were reasonable, the Trustees reviewed profitability information provided by the Advisers with respect to investment advisory services. With respect to such information, the Trustees recognized that such profitability data was generally unaudited and represented an Adviser's own determination of its and its affiliates' revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and were calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts, because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to BB&TAM and its affiliates as a result of their relationships with the Funds was acceptable. With respect to Sub-Adviser profitability, the Trustees noted that sub-advisory fees are paid by BB&TAM, rather than directly from the Trust's assets. The Board also concluded that the fees under the Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable, in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund. Economies of Scale The Trustees also considered whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and whether economies of scale would be produced by the growth of the Trust's assets. The Trustees noted that the Funds were not of a comparable size and had yet to attract assets sufficient to generate economies of scale. 34 INFORMATION ABOUT TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS (UNAUDITED) Overall responsibility for the management of the Funds rests with its Board of Trustees', who are elected by the Shareholders of the Funds.
