            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Centura Banks, Inc. ("Centura") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Centura
Capital Trust I ("CCTI"), Triangle Capital Trust ("TCT"), and Centura Bank (the
"Bank"). Centura also has a 49 percent ownership interest in First Greensboro
Home Equity, Inc. ("FGHE"), a home equity mortgage company. The Bank also has
various wholly-owned subsidiaries which in the aggregate represent approximately
thirteen percent of total assets. All significant intercompany transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.

     On February 18, 2000, Triangle Bancorp, Inc. ("Triangle") merged with and
into Centura Banks, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the financial information included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes has been restated to
present the combined financial condition and results of operations of both
companies as if the merger had been in effect for all periods presented. See
Note 3 for further information regarding the merger.


     Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets
and income statements for the periods presented. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination
of the allowance for loan losses ("AFLL"), the valuation of real estate acquired
in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, and the valuation of
mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs").


     Business

     The Bank, either directly or through its subsidiaries, provides a wide
range of financial services, including: full-service commercial and consumer
banking services; retail securities brokerage services; insurance brokerage
services covering a full line of personal and commercial lines; mortgage
banking services; commercial and retail leasing; and asset management services.
The Bank principally offers its services through its branch and automated
teller network located throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and the
Hampton Roads region of Virginia. Services are also provided through
alternative delivery channels that include a centralized telephone operation
offering a full line of financial services and home banking through a telephone
network operated by a third party and connected to the personal computers of
customers. The Bank is subject to competition from other depository
institutions and numerous other non-depository institutions offering financial
services products. The Bank is further subject to the regulations of certain
federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those
regulatory authorities.

     CCTI and TCT were established to facilitate the issuance of Capital
Securities as described in detail in Note 11 to the consolidated financial
statements.


     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks,
interest-bearing balances due from other banks, and federal funds sold.


     Investment Securities

     Centura's investments are classified based on management's intention as
either held to maturity ("HTM"), available for sale ("AFS"), or trading at the
time of purchase. Debt securities that Centura has the positive intent and the
ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM and reported at amortized
cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities
and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in
earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as either HTM securities or
trading securities are classified as AFS securities and are reported at fair
value, with net unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported
as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of applicable taxes.





     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued

     HTM investment securities are stated at cost, net of the amortization of
premium and the accretion of discount. AFS investment securities are used as a
part of Centura's asset/liability and liquidity management strategy and may be
sold in response to changes in interest rates or prepayment risk, the need to
manage regulatory capital, and other factors.

     Securities transactions are recognized on a trade-date basis. The cost of
securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis. Premiums and
discounts are amortized or accreted into income using the level-yield method
over the estimated lives of the assets.


     Loans

     Substantially all loans accrue interest using the level-yield method based
on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of certain
direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to
interest income over the estimated life of the related loans using a method
that approximates a constant yield.

     Centura originates certain residential mortgage loans with the intent to
sell. Such loans held for sale are included in loans in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value
on an aggregate loan basis as determined by outstanding commitments from
investors or current quoted market prices.


     Allowance for Loan Losses

     The AFLL represents management's estimate of the amount necessary to
absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio and is established
through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be
uncollectible are charged against the AFLL, and subsequent recoveries, if any,
are credited to the AFLL. Management believes that the AFLL is adequate.
Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the AFLL is based on
individual loan reviews, loan loss experience of prior years, economic
conditions in the Bank's market areas, the fair value and adequacy of
underlying collateral, and the growth and risk composition of the loan
portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material
estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be
received on impaired loans, that may be susceptible to significant change.
Thus, future additions to the AFLL may be necessary based on the impact of
changes in economic conditions on the Bank's borrowers. In addition, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Bank's AFLL. Such agencies may require the Bank to
recognize additions to the AFLL based on their judgments about all relevant
information available to them at the time of their examination.


     Impaired Loans, Nonaccrual Loans, and Other Real Estate Owned

     A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information, it
is probable Centura will not receive all amounts due in accordance with the
contractual terms of a loan agreement. The discounted expected cash flow method
is used in determining the fair value of impaired loans, except in cases
involving collateral-dependent loans, in which case the fair value is
determined using the fair value of the collateral. When the ultimate
collectibility of an impaired loan's principal is in doubt, wholly or
partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. Once the recorded
principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to
interest income, to the extent any interest has been foregone, and then they
are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged-off. When this
doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of
the loan agreement. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued on all
loans when management has doubts that principal and interest will be collected
in a reasonable period of time. Generally, open-end credit lines that reach 180
days or more past due and substantially all other loans that reach 90 days or
more past due are placed on nonaccrual status unless the loan is adequately
secured and in the process of collection. Generally, all loans past due 180
days are placed on nonaccrual status regardless of security. Recorded accrued
interest is reversed or charged-off.

     Interest received on nonaccrual loans is generally applied against
principal or may be reported as interest income depending on management's
judgment as to the collectibility of principal. A loan classified as nonaccrual
is returned to accrual status when the obligation has been brought current, has
performed in accordance with its contractual terms over an extended period of
time, and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and
interest is no longer in doubt.

     Other real estate owned is included in other assets and is comprised of
property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the net book value
of other real estate properties was $6.4 million and $7.9 million,
respectively.



     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued

     Mortgage Servicing Rights

     The rights to service mortgage loans for others are included in other
assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Capitalization of the allocated cost
of MSRs occurs when the underlying loans are sold, securitized or purchased.
Capitalized MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period of
estimated net servicing income using a method that is designed to approximate a
level-yield method, taking into consideration the estimated prepayment of the
underlying loans. Capitalized MSRs are evaluated periodically for impairment
based on the excess of the carrying amount of such rights over their fair
value. To determine fair value, MSRs are stratified on the basis of numerous
financial characteristics including servicing fee, maturity, interest rate,
repricing index, etc. Expected cash flows are determined by applying prepayment
estimates to the contractual term of the serviced loans. The fair value is
estimated by discounting these cash flows through the serviced loan's expected
maturity date. The discount rate used is based on market yields and includes a
risk premium reflecting the credit and interest rate risk inherent in each
strata of servicing rights. Cash flows and fair values are calculated over a
broad range of possible interest rate paths that are based on market volatility
estimates, with the reported fair value representing the average value for
those interest rate paths.


     Premises and Equipment

     Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation expense is
computed by the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of
the assets. Useful lives range between three and forty years for buildings and
one and twenty years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold
improvements and assets acquired under capital leases are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the leased asset or the
lease term. These assets have depreciable lives ranging between three and
thirty years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred and gains or losses on disposal of assets are reflected in current
operations.


     Other Assets and Other Liabilities

     Intangible assets are principally comprised of goodwill and are included
in other assets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of
net assets acquired in purchase acquisitions and is generally being amortized
over 15 years. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, goodwill, net of accumulated
amortization, was $135.8 million and $127.1 million, respectively.

     Negative goodwill, included in other liabilities, represents the excess of
fair value of net assets acquired over cost after recording the liability for
recaptured tax bad debt reserve and reducing the basis in bank premises and
equipment and other noncurrent assets acquired to zero. Negative goodwill is
being accreted into earnings on a straight-line basis over a period of ten
years, the period estimated to be benefited. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
negative goodwill, net of accumulated accretion, was $3.5 million and $4.8
million, respectively.

     Centura has included as other assets equipment under operating lease
contracts. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, $6.2 million,
$7.5 million, and $4.6 million, respectively, of net operating lease rental
income was recorded in other noninterest income.

     Also included in other assets is Centura's investment in FGHE, which is
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. At December 31, 1999 and
1998, the investment in FGHE, net of accumulated amortization, was $29.7
million and $33.3 million, respectively. Retained earnings at December 31, 1999
includes undistributed losses from FGHE totaling $1.8 million. Undistributed
earnings of $1.9 million were recognized in 1998.

     Long-lived assets and certain intangibles are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.
Those assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount
or fair value less costs to sell.

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued

     Income Taxes

     Centura uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes.
The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial
reporting basis and the income tax basis of Centura's assets and liabilities at
enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or
settled.


     Net Income Per Share

     Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.
Diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during each period plus the maximum dilutive effect
of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options which totaled 638,376,
914,760, and 975,010 shares at December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 respectively.
Dilutive potential common shares are calculated using the treasury stock
method.


     Stock-Based Employee Compensation

     Most of Centura's stock-based employee compensation plans provide for the
deferral of compensation in exchange for stock options. As allowed under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), Centura accounts for its stock-based
employee compensation plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). See Note 13 for the required SFAS 123
pro-forma disclosures.


     Off-Balance Sheet Derivative Financial Instruments

     Off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate
swaps ("swaps"), interest rate floor and cap arrangements ("floors" and "caps,"
respectively), and interest rate futures and options contracts, are available
to Centura to assist in managing its exposure to changes in interest rates.
Centura has principally utilized swaps, floors and caps. The fair value of
these off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments are based on dealer
quotes, third party financial models, and internal pricing analytics. Interest
rate swaps, floors and caps are accounted for on an accrual basis, and the net
interest differential, including premiums paid, if any, is recognized as an
adjustment to interest income or interest expense of the related designated
asset or liability. Centura considers its interest rate swaps to be a synthetic
alteration of an asset or liability as long as (i) the swap is designated with
a specific asset or liability or a finite pool of assets or liabilities; (ii)
there is a high correlation, at inception and throughout the period of the
synthetic alteration, between changes in the interest income or expense
generated by the swap and changes in the interest income or expense generated
by the designated asset or liability; (iii) the notional amount of the swap is
less than or equal to the principal amount of the designated asset or liability
or pools of assets or liabilities; and (iv) the swap term is approximately
equal to the remaining term of the designated asset or liability or pools of
assets or liabilities. If these criteria are not met, then changes in the fair
value of the swap is no longer considered a synthetic alteration and changes in
their fair value are included in other income. The criteria for consideration
of a floor or cap as a synthetic alteration are generally the same as those for
a swap arrangement.

     If the swap, floor, or cap arrangements are terminated before their
maturity, the net proceeds received or paid are deferred and amortized over the
shorter of the remaining contract life or the maturity of the designated asset
or liability as an adjustment to interest income or expense. If the designated
asset or liability is sold or matures, the swap agreement is marked to market
and the gain or loss is included with the gain or loss on the sale/maturity of
the designated asset or liability. Changes in the fair value of any
undesignated swaps, floors, and caps would be included in other income in the
consolidated statements of income.


     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The following describes the methods and assumptions used by Centura to
estimate the fair value of financial instruments.

     Cash and Due From Banks (including those that are interest-bearing),
Federal Funds Sold, and Accrued Interest Receivable -- The fair value of these
instruments are considered to approximate their carrying amounts due to the
short-term nature of these financial instruments.



     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued

     Investment Securities -- The fair value of investment securities is
estimated based on quoted market prices received from independent third
parties.

     Loans -- For fair value calculations, loans are categorized by business
purpose and divided into fixed and variable classifications. These
classifications are further segmented into like groups based on financial
characteristics such as maturity, coupon, reprice index, etc. Final maturities
and expected cash flows are determined by applying prepayment estimates to the
contractual term of the loans. The fair values of loans are estimated by
discounting cash flows through the loan's expected maturity date. The discount
rate is based on market yields that include a risk premium reflecting the
credit and interest rate risk inherent in each class of loan. Cash flows and
fair values are calculated over a broad range of possible future interest rate
paths with the reported fair value representing the average value for those
interest rate paths.

     Deposits -- The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest checking, money market and
savings accounts, are considered to approximate the amount payable on demand at
year-end. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted values of
contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

     Borrowed Funds, Accrued Interest Payable, and Long-term Debt -- The fair
value of borrowed funds and accrued interest payable approximates its carrying
amount due to its short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based
on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates are based
on market rates for debt of the same remaining maturities.


     Current Accounting Matters

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("SFAS 133"). The statement addresses accounting and reporting requirements for
derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that all
derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheet and that those instruments be measured at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be designated as a hedge of exposure to
changes in fair value of an asset or liability, exposure to variable cash flows
of a forecasted transaction or exposure of foreign currency denominated
forecasted transactions. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative depends on the intended use of the derivatives and its resulting
designation. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB 133." This Statement defers the effective date of SFAS 133 for one
year. SFAS 133, as amended, is now effective for all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is in the process of
evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 133. Management anticipates adopting
this Statement on January 1, 2001.

     The FASB also issues exposure drafts for proposed statements of financial
accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the
public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements
of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the
proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of Centura and
monitors the status of changes to exposure drafts and to proposed effective
dates.

     On February 18, 2000, Centura merged with Triangle, a Raleigh, North
Carolina based bank holding company in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests. Centura issued approximately 11.4 million shares to effect
the combination and each Triangle shareholder received 0.45 shares of Centura
common stock in exchange for each Triangle share. Triangle had assets of
approximately $2.4 billion and operated 71 locations throughout North Carolina.
In connection with this combination, Centura expects to incur merger-related
expenses ranging between $35 million and $45 million. In addition anticipated
losses of approximately $15 million are expected to be incurred on sales of
certain investment securities as a result of restructuring Triangle's investment
portfolio. Historical financial information presented in these consolidated
financial statements has been restated to include the accounts and results of
operations of Triangle.

Accruing loans past due ninety days or more ..............      14,366        14,777


     Loans classified as real estate -- mortgage include mortgage loans held
for sale of $86.5 million and $160.7 million for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Most of Centura's loan business is with customers located in North Carolina,
South Carolina and the Hampton Roads region of Virginia.

     Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balance of these loans at
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $3.1 billion, $3.3 billion and
$3.5 billion, respectively.

     For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the interest income
that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans had they performed in
accordance with their original terms amounted to approximately $2.3 million,
$2.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Interest income on all such loans
included in the results of operations amounted to approximately $668,000,
$718,000, and $634,000 during 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

     In the normal course of business, Centura extends credit to FGHE at
prevailing interest rates and at terms similar to those granted in arms-length
transactions. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, total loans outstanding to FGHE
were $34.0 million and $55.9 million, respectively, and are included in the
consolidated balance sheets.

     The Bank makes loans to executive officers and directors of Centura and
the Bank and to their associates. It is management's opinion that such loans
are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
unrelated persons and do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility.

     At December 31, 1999, the Bank had $2.2 billion in total federal funds
lines available. Federal funds purchased have maturities that range between
maturing overnight to nine months. Maturities for outstanding repurchase
agreements range from overnight to two months. Securities collateralizing
repurchase agreements have been transferred to a third party or are held in
segregated accounts. Master notes are issued by Centura under a master
agreement with a term not to exceed 270 days and mature on a daily basis. The
Bank's U.S. Treasury demand note is payable on demand and interest on
borrowings under this arrangement is payable at 0.25 percent below the weekly
federal funds rate as quoted by the Federal Reserve.

     At December 31, 1999, Centura's maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB
was $893.2 million, of which $758.4 million was advanced at year-end 1999. Of
the amount advanced at year-end, $658.4 million and $100.0 million are
classified as long-term debt and short-term borrowings, respectively. At
December 31, 1999, FHLB advances had maturities of up to 19 years with interest
rates ranging between 1.0 percent and 6.6 percent. At December 31, 1998, FHLB
advances had maturities of up to 13 years with interest rates ranging between
1.0 percent and 6.7 percent. Centura has a blanket collateral agreement with
the FHLB whereby Centura maintains, free of other encumbrances, qualifying
mortgages (as defined) with unpaid principal balances at least equal to, when
discounted at 75 percent of the unpaid principal balance, 100 percent of the
FHLB advances. Also, as a requirement for membership with the FHLB, Centura
must invest in FHLB stock in an amount equal to the greater of 1 percent of its
mortgage related assets or 5 percent of its outstanding FHLB advances. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, Centura owned 387,241 shares and 309,387 shares,
respectively, of $100 par value FHLB stock. This stock is pledged as collateral
against any advances extended to Centura by the FHLB.




     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued

NOTE 11 -- LONG-TERM DEBT -- Continued

     The Bank has the ability to issue debt up to a maximum of $1.0 billion
under an offering by the Bank to institutional investors of unsecured bank
notes that have maturities that can range from 30 days and beyond from the date
of issue. Each bank note would be a direct, unconditional, and unsecured
general obligation solely of the Bank and would not be an obligation of or
guaranteed by Centura. Interest rate and maturity terms would be negotiated
between the Bank and the purchaser, within certain parameters set forth in an
offering circular. As of December 31, 1999, there were $125.0 million of 6.5
percent 10 year subordinated bank notes outstanding. There were no bank notes
outstanding at year-end 1998.

     In June 1997, CCTI, a wholly-owned statutory business trust of Centura,
issued $100.0 million of Capital Securities maturing June 2027 ("Capital
Securities") bearing an interest rate of 8.845 percent. CCTI also issued $3.1
million of common securities to Centura. CCTI invested the proceeds of $103.1
million, generated from the Capital Securities and common securities issuances,
in 8.845 percent Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures ("junior
debentures") issued by Centura, which upon consolidation are eliminated. The
junior debentures, with a maturity of June 2027, are the primary assets of
CCTI. With respect to the Capital Securities, Centura has irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranteed CCTI's obligations.

     Also in June 1997, TCT, a wholly-owned statutory business trust of
Centura, issued $20.0 million of 9.375 percent Capital Securities maturing in
June 2027. The proceeds from this issuance were used by TCT to purchase junior
debentures issued by Centura, which upon consolidation are eliminated. The
junior debentures are the sole assets of TCT. As with the Capital Securities
described above, Centura has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed the
obligations of TCT.

     The Capital Securities discussed above are included in Tier I capital for
regulatory capital adequacy requirements.

     Equipment under leases is partially funded through the use of fixed rate
debt secured by future lease rentals to be received under certain lease
contracts and first liens on the related equipment. Generally, the terms of
these obligations are equal to the terms of the underlying contracts. At
December 31, 1999, Centura had no outstanding debt secured by future lease
rentals. At December 31, 1998, the weighted-average interest rate and maturity
for the notes payable secured by lease rentals were 8.33 percent and 2.3 years,
respectively.

     At December 31, 1999, maturities of long-term debt are as follows (in
thousands):



                  
2000 ...............  $185,613
2001 ...............   214,195

     Centura's sales incentive plan rewards all sales officers for the value of
products and services sold after covering the costs of their individual
salaries, benefits, and other direct costs of producing new business. The
Economic Value Added ("EVA") incentive program provides for a total EVA
incentive pool for all non-sales employees based upon meeting EVA targets.
Calculation of the target incorporates the ability of current net operating
profits after tax to cover the annual cost of capital utilized. The program
also incorporates the use of bonus banking of a defined percentage of
incentives earned that are then placed at risk dependent upon future
performance plus the granting of leveraged stock options to specific members of
management. Other miscellaneous bonus and incentive awards are made primarily
under individual contracts.

NOTE 13 -- STOCK OPTIONS, STOCK AWARDS, AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
     At December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 Centura had approximately 1.2
million, 1.8 million, and 2.3 million shares, respectively, of its authorized
but unissued common stock reserved for its two stock-based compensation plans:
the Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan ("Omnibus Plan") and the Directors'
Deferred Compensation Plan ("Directors' Plan"). Under the Omnibus Plan,
participants are granted options to purchase Centura common stock. These
options generally vest over a five to eight-year period and have a maximum term
of ten years. Under the Directors' Plan, participants are allowed to receive
compensation in the form of stock options rather than in cash. These options
have no vesting period and expire five years after the grantee ceases to be a
director of Centura.

     Prior to Centura's acquisition of Triangle, Triangle maintained a
qualified incentive stock option plan for the benefit of certain of its key
officers and employees and a non-qualified stock option plan for directors and
certain officers (the "1988 Stock Option Plans"). The 1988 Stock Option Plans
expired on January 4, 1998, and as such, no new awards were made after that
date. In addition, Triangle had reserved 1.5 million shares for future grants
in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation
rights, under the 1998 Omnibus Stock Plan. Incentive options under this plan
were granted at fair market value and have ten-year lives. Centura assumed the
existing stock option plans of Triangle and converted the Triangle outstanding
options to Centura options based on the exchange ratio. No new options will be
issued from the assumed plans.

     A summary of stock option transactions under these plans follows:

     Prior to Centura's acquisition of Triangle, Triangle maintained an
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") that allowed employees to purchase
stock of up to 10 percent of their compensation through payroll deduction. In
May 1997 this plan was amended to allow the purchase of the stock at a 15
percent discount. The discount taken was on the lower of the market price at
the beginning or end of each six month period, with shares being issued out of
authorized but unissued shares.

NOTE 13 -- STOCK OPTIONS, STOCK AWARDS, AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY -- Continued

     Under APB 25, Centura expensed approximately $3.1 million in 1999, $2.2
million in 1998, and $1.6 million in 1997 for employee stock awards and stock
option grants. If Centura had elected to recognize compensation cost for its
stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the fair value based
accounting method of SFAS 123, net income and earnings per share would have
been as follows:

     No valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was required at December
31, 1999 or 1998. Management has determined that it is more likely than not
that the deferred tax assets can be supported by carrybacks to federal taxable
income in the federal carryback period or offset against deferred tax
liabilities. During 1999, the net deferred tax liability decreased
approximately $29.8 million due to fair value adjustments required under SFAS
115 for investment securities available for sale and decreased due to other
adjustments totaling approximately $2.3 million.


NOTE 16 -- COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES


     Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

     In the normal course of business, Centura may participate in various
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in order to satisfy the
financing needs of its borrowers and to manage its exposure to interest rate
risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters
of credit, and off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments.

     At December 31, 1999 and 1998, Centura had commitments to extend credit of
$2.7 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, and standby letters of credit of
$192.4 million and $145.8 million, respectively. With the exception of
commitments to originate residential mortgage loans which are discussed below,
these financial instruments are exercisable at the market rate prevailing at
the date the underlying transaction will be completed, and thus are deemed to
have no current fair value.

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers at
predetermined interest rates as long as there is no violation of any condition
established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of
the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These
commitments are subject to Centura's standard credit approval and monitoring
process. Centura's exposure to credit risk is represented by the contractual
amount of the commitment to extend credit. In the opinion of management, there
are no material commitments to extend credit that represent unusual risks.

     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Centura to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The risks and credit
approval process involved in issuing standby letters of credit are essentially
the same as that involved in commitments to extend credit.



     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued

NOTE 16 -- COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES -- Continued

     Centura evaluates the collateral required for each extension of credit on
a case-by-case basis following the same guidelines set forth in normal lending
policy. The majority of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are
secured, primarily with liquid financial instruments such as certificates of
deposit or income producing assets. If these commitments are drawn, Centura
will obtain collateral if it is deemed necessary based on management's credit
evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include
accounts receivable, inventory, and commercial or residential real estate.
Management expects that these commitments can be funded through normal
operations.

     Centura enters into forward commitments to sell securitized mortgages to
reduce the Bank's exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest
rates which could alter the underlying fair value of mortgage loans held for
sale ("MLHFS") and unfunded residential mortgage loans for which the Bank has
committed to extend credit and ultimately sell to the secondary market. The
Bank had forward commitments totaling $32.6 million and $160.5 million
outstanding at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These forward
commitments are set at fixed prices and are scheduled to settle at specified
dates which generally do not exceed 90 days. MLHFS are carried at the lower of
cost or fair value. The fair value of MLHFS which are committed to be sold is
determined based on the fixed price of the forward commitment. The fair value
for uncommitted MLHFS is determined using quoted market prices based on
characteristics and interest rate levels appropriate at the time of valuation.
The amount by which cost exceeds fair value on the MLHFS is recorded as a
valuation allowance. MLHFS at December 31, 1999 and 1998, which are included in
total loans on the consolidated balance sheet, were $86.5 million and $161.0
million reduced by valuation allowances of $174,000 and $201,000, respectively.
Pipeline loans, representing unfunded residential mortgage loans for which the
Bank has committed to extend credit that will either be sold or retained in the
portfolio, totaled $57.7 million and $121.2 million at December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

     In connection with its asset/liability management program, Centura has
entered into interest rate swap, cap, and floor arrangements with other
counterparties. Centura does not trade the instruments, and Centura's policy
governing the use of these instruments, as approved by Centura's Board of
Directors, does not contemplate speculation of any kind. It is not management's
intent to enter into any speculative transactions.

     Interest rate swap agreements are used to reduce funding costs, allow
Centura to utilize diversified funding sources, and manage interest rate risk
with the objective of stabilizing Centura's net interest income over time.
These swaps are used to convert the fixed interest rates (or variable rates) on
designated investment securities, loans, and long-term debt to variable
interest rates (or fixed rates). Centura also enters into swaps in which both
interest rates are floating in order to reduce its basis risk with respect to a
given index.

     Centura's interest rate swap agreements are summarized below:

     At December 31, 1999 and 1998, Centura had interest rate floor agreements
and interest rate cap agreements. Floors and caps are used to protect certain
designated products from an adverse income or market valuation impact in the
event of a decreasing or increasing rate environment.

     Centura, on a limited basis, also utilizes financial futures contracts and
exchange traded options on financial futures contracts to reduce interest rate
risk in the AFS portfolio. At December 31, 1999, Centura had no open financial
futures contracts or exchange traded options on financial futures contracts.

     The risks generally associated with these derivative financial instruments
are the risk that the counterparty in the agreement may default ("credit
risk"), the risk that at the time of any such default, interest rates may have
moved unfavorably from the perspective of the nondefaulting party ("market
risk"), and the risk that amounts due to Centura previously reflected in the
consolidated balance sheets may not be received as a result of the default.
Centura's derivative financial instruments have been entered into with
nationally recognized commercial and investment banking firms. As such, Centura
does not currently anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
Additionally, to mitigate credit risks, Centura's derivative contracts are
generally governed by master netting agreements and, where appropriate, Centura
may obtain collateral in the form of rights to securities. The master netting
agreements provide for net settlement of covered contracts with the same
counterparty in the event of default by the other party.


     Contingencies

     Centura Bank is a co-defendant in two actions (the "Staton Cases") in the
Superior Court of Forsyth County, North Carolina which were filed in 1996 and
have been consolidated for discovery. The plaintiffs are Philip A.R. Staton,
Ingeborg Staton, Mercedes Staton, and trusts created by Ingeborg Staton and
Mercedes Staton. They allege that Centura Bank breached its duties and
committed other violations of law as depository of substantial sums of money
allegedly converted by the personal and financial advisors of the owners of
such money and in connection with the creation of charitable trusts established
with a portion of the funds. No claim for a specific amount of monetary damages
was made in the cases until 1999. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and treble
damages in amounts that are material to Centura and its subsidiaries taken as a
whole. Centura and Centura Bank believe that Centura Bank has meritorious
defenses to all claims asserted in these cases and Centura Bank is defending
the cases vigorously. In a separate and related case, also instituted in 1996
in the Superior Court of Forsyth County, North Carolina by Piedmont Institute
of Pain Management and three physicians associated with it (the "PIPM Case"),
which has been consolidated for discovery with the Staton Cases, Centura Bank
is alleged to have provided the plaintiffs with false information regarding the
establishment and funding of a medical clinic by failing to exercise reasonable
care or competence in obtaining such information, and to have committed other
violations of law. Plaintiffs seek specific performance or recovery of money
damages in an amount that is material to Centura and its subsidiaries taken as
a whole. Centura and Centura Bank believe Centura Bank has meritorious defenses
to all claims asserted in this case and Centura Bank is defending the case
vigorously. In 1999, Ingeborg Staton, Mercedes Staton and trusts created by
Ingeborg Staton and Mercedes Staton filed a motion to amend their complaint in
the Staton Cases to add allegations of fraudulent concealment, violation of the
Bank Bribery Act and negligent supervision of employees. Centura Bank filed a
response opposing the proposed amendments. The movants thereupon filed a new
action (the "1999 Case") in Forsyth County, North Carolina Superior Court
asserting those claims against Centura Bank, certain of its named current and
former officers and persons described as "one or more John Does and one or more
Jane Does" who are identified in the complaint as current or former directors
of the Bank. By consent of the parties, the 1999 Case has been consolidated
with the Staton Cases and the PIPM Case. Centura and Centura Bank believe that
Centura Bank has meritorious defenses to all claims asserted in this case and
Centura Bank intends to defend it vigorously. Management does not believe that
Centura or Centura Bank has liability with respect to these cases and
accordingly, is unable to estimate a range of loss.



     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued

NOTE 16 -- COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONTINGENCIES -- Continued

     Various legal proceedings against Centura and the Bank have arisen from
time to time in the normal course of business. Management believes liabilities
arising from these proceedings, if any, will have no material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of Centura or the Bank.


NOTE 17 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Fair value estimates are made by management at a specific point in time,
based on relevant information about the financial instrument and the market.
These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time Centura's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument nor are potential taxes and other expenses that would be
incurred in an actual sale considered. Because no market exists for a
significant portion of Centura's financial instruments, fair value estimates
are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current
economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and
other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be
determined with precision. Changes in assumptions and/or the methodology used
could significantly affect the estimates disclosed. Similarly, the fair values
disclosed could vary significantly from amounts realized in actual
transactions.

     Fair value estimates are based on existing on-balance sheet and
off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the
value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities
that are not considered financial instruments. For example, Centura has a
substantial asset management department that contributes net fee income
annually. The asset management department is not considered a financial
instrument, and its value has not been incorporated into the fair value
estimates. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial assets or liabilities include premises and equipment and intangibles.
In addition, tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized
gains and losses on securities could have a significant effect on fair value
estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

     The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values
of Centura's financial instruments at December 31:

NOTE 18 -- SEGMENT INFORMATION

     The Bank has two reportable segments: retail banking and treasury. These
reportable segments represent business units that are managed separately. Each
segment requires specific industry knowledge and the products and services
offered differ to meet the various financial needs of Centura's customers.

     The retail banking segment includes commercial loans, retail loans, retail
lines of credit, credit cards, transaction deposits, time deposits, master
notes and repurchase agreements, and mortgage servicing and origination. The
retail bank offers



     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued

NOTE 18 -- SEGMENT INFORMATION -- Continued

a wide array of products to individuals, small businesses, and commercial
customers. These products are primarily offered through Centura's 228 financial
stores and are also offered through the Centura Highway, a centralized
telephone operation that handles a broad range of financial services.

     Treasury is responsible for Centura's asset/liability management including
managing Centura's investment portfolio.

     "Other" includes the asset management division, leasing activities,
Centura Securities, Inc., Centura Insurance Services, Inc., and FGHE, none of
which individually exceed 10 percent of revenues, net income or total assets.
Centura's asset management division provides trust and fiduciary services as
well as retirement plan design and administration. Leasing activities include
Centura's technology leasing subsidiary CLG, Inc. ("CLG") as well as the
Centura Bank Leasing Division, both of which offer a broad range of lease
products including automobile, equipment, and recreational vehicle leases. CLG
was sold on September 30, 1999. Centura Securities, Inc. offers a competitive
line of brokerage services. Centura Insurance Services, Inc. offers various
insurance products to commercial and consumer customers. FGHE is a mortgage and
finance company specializing in alternative equity lending for homeowners whose
borrowing needs are generally not met by traditional financial institutions.
Centura has a 49 percent ownership interest in FGHE.

     To assess the performance of its segments, management utilizes an internal
business unit profitability report whose data is derived from an internal
profitability measurement system. This report is compiled using information
that reflects the underlying economics for the business segments, therefore,
information reported may not be consistent with financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The
accounting policies for the business unit profitability reports differ from
those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 1)
in that certain items are accounted for on a cash basis rather than an accrual
basis and certain management allocations have been made for overhead expenses,
transfer pricing and capital. Additionally, consideration is not given to
amortization of intangible assets. These adjustments have been eliminated to
arrive at the consolidated totals prepared in accordance with GAAP.

     Financial information by segment as of December 31 follows.

NOTE 20 -- REGULATORY MATTERS

     Centura and the Bank are subject to certain requirements imposed by state
and federal banking statutes and regulations. These regulations require the
maintenance of a noninterest-bearing reserve balance at the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond ("FRB"), restrict dividend payments, and establish guidelines
for minimum capital levels. At December 31, 1999, Centura was required to
maintain a minimum balance with the FRB in the amount of $115.1 million.
Subject to the regulatory restrictions, the Bank had $163.3 million available
from its retained earnings at December 31, 1999 for the payment of dividends
from the Bank to Centura without obtaining prior regulatory approval. The Bank
is prohibited by law from paying dividends from its capital stock account. The
Bank's capital account totaled $78.2 million at December 31, 1999.

     Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, there are minimum ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets
to which Centura and the Bank are subject. The capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly discretionary
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on
Centura's consolidated financial statements.




     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued

NOTE 20 -- REGULATORY MATTERS -- Continued

     Regulatory capital amounts and ratios are set forth in the table below.
Tier I capital consists of common stock, retained earnings, and minority
interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries less goodwill and
certain other intangible assets. For Centura, Tier I capital also consists of
Capital Securities as described in Note 11. The remainder of total capital is
Tier II capital and includes subordinated debt or other allowed equity
equivalents and a limited amount of allowance for loan losses. Balance sheet
assets and the credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet items per
regulatory guidelines are assigned to broad risk categories and a category risk
weight is then applied.

     Based on the most recent notification from its regulators, the Bank is
well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
Management believes that as of December 31, 1999, Centura and the Bank met all
capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and was not aware of
any conditions or events that would affect its well capitalized status. To be
categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must meet minimum total risk-based,
Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below
which presents the capital ratios for Centura and Triangle and their bank
subsidiaries on a historical basis:
