Words such as "may," "could," "would," "should," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "targets" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond Wachovia's control). The following factors, among others, could cause Wachovia's financial performance to differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements: (1) business increases, productivity gains and other investments are lower than expected or do not occur as quickly as anticipated; (2) competitive pressures among financial service companies increase significantly; (3) the strength of the United States economy in general and/or the strength of the local economies of the States in which Wachovia conducts operations changes; (4) trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, change; (5) inflation, interest rates and/or market conditions fluctuate; (6) conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets deteriorate, and impact Wachovia's activities; (7) Wachovia fails to develop competitive new products and services and/or new and existing customers do not accept these products and services; (8) financial services' laws and regulations change; (9) technology changes and Wachovia fails to adapt to those changes; (10) consumer spending and saving habits change; (11) unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings occur; and (12) Wachovia is unsuccessful at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. Additional information with respect to factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements may also be included in other reports that Wachovia files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Wachovia cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Wachovia does not intend to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, relating to the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 7 Financial Summary Table 3 -

Overview The U.S. economy expanded at a moderate pace during the third quarter with some continuing evidence of slowing from the rapid pace of growth earlier in the year. This led the Federal Reserve to leave short-term interest rates unchanged after a 50 basis point increase on May 16, 2000, that followed five 25 basis point increases since July 1999. Most of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts reported that consumer spending was flat to modestly higher compared with late spring and early summer. Home sales and construction continued to soften, but several Districts reported that commercial real estate activity was robust. Overall, loan demand remained strong. Gross domestic product rose 2.7 percent, based on preliminary data. Also based on preliminary data, the nation's average unemployment rate fell to 3.9 percent from 4.2 percent during third quarter 1999. Within Wachovia's five-state operating area, unemployment averaged 3.5 percent. Wachovia's strategy is to focus on entering and expanding businesses with strong potential for growth, and redirecting resources as appropriate for the most attractive returns. This will continue to be accomplished by enhancing products and services through internal development, as well as by selective acquisitions and partnerships. During the third quarter, Wachovia announced plans to realign resources and eliminate 1,800 positions as part of a continuing performance improvement project designed to lift pre-tax earnings by $425 million by 2002. The performance project, which began in 1999, seeks to improve earnings through revenue enhancement, productivity gains, sharper capital deployment and expense management. On February 1, Wachovia completed its purchase of a majority of the credit card business of Partners First Holdings LLC, adding 1.2 million customers and approximately $2 billion of managed receivables. The acquisition of B C Bankshares, Inc., parent company of the Bank of Canton, also was completed in February. On June 1, Wachovia completed the acquisition of Commerce National Corporation, the parent company of the National Bank of Commerce. These transactions followed several purchase acquisitions completed in 1999 that strengthened Wachovia's wealth advisory and capital markets capabilities. On September 7, Wachovia announced an agreement to acquire DavisBaldwin, Inc., a Tampa, Florida based insurance agency specializing in property and casualty insurance services for commercial customers. The acquisition of DavisBaldwin, Inc. was completed on November 1. On September 21, Wachovia announced a branch swap transaction with another financial institution. The branch swap transaction, which will be completed in the first quarter of 2000, will provide Wachovia with its first retail branch in Tennessee and will allow for future branches in that state. On October 30, Wachovia announced an agreement to acquire Republic Security Financial Corporation, headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, and parent company of Republic Security Bank. Republic Security, which operates 99 banking facilities in 11 Florida counties, had assets of $3.4 billion and deposits of $2 billion at September 30, 2000. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2001. 9 Computation of Earnings Per Common Share Table 4 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (thousands, except per share) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 ------------------------- ------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ----------- --------- ----------- --------- Basic Average common shares outstanding ......................... 203,347 202,167 202,848 203,007 =========== ======= =========== ======= Net income ................................................ $ 205,324 $ 257,499 $ 587,602 $ 748,285 =========== ========= =========== ========= Per share amount .......................................... $ 1.01 $ 1.27 $ 2.90 $ 3.69 Diluted Average common shares outstanding ......................... 203,347 202,167 202,848 203,007 Dilutive common stock options at average market price ..... 1,141 2,715 1,440 3,113 Dilutive common stock awards at average market price ...... 110 440 159 417 Convertible long-term debt assumed converted .............. 23 23 23 25 ----------- --------- ----------- --------- Average diluted shares outstanding ........................ 204,621 205,345 204,470 206,562 =========== ========= =========== ========= Net income ................................................ $ 205,324 $ 257,499 $ 587,602 $ 748,285 Add interest on convertible long-term debt -- net of tax .. 17 18 45 54 ----------- --------- ----------- --------- Adjusted net income ....................................... $ 205,341 $ 257,517 $ 587,647 $ 748,339 =========== ========= =========== ========= Per share amount .......................................... $ 1.00 $ 1.25 $ 2.87 $ 3.62 Wachovia's operating net income for the third quarter of 2000 was $270 million or $1.32 per diluted share versus $261 million or $1.27 per diluted share a year earlier. On a reported basis, net income for the quarter was $205 million or $1.00 per diluted share versus $257 million or $1.25 per diluted share a year earlier. The third quarter continued the trend of slower revenue growth in market-sensitive businesses begun in the second quarter. The provision for loan losses remained above historical levels as loan charge offs and the balance of nonperforming loans rose from earlier levels. Year-to-date operating earnings were $678 million or $3.32 per diluted share compared with $757 million or $3.67 per diluted share for the same period in 1999. Operating earnings exclude merger-integration and other nonrecurring charges. Reported earnings for the first nine months of 2000 were $588 million or $2.87 per diluted share and $748 million or $3.62 per diluted share a year earlier. Comparisons between the 2000 and 1999 periods are also impacted by the results of acquisitions that are included in reported results from their respective acquisition dates each year. Expanded discussion of results of operations and financial condition follows. Interest income is stated on a taxable equivalent basis, which is adjusted for the tax-favored status of earnings from certain loans and securities. References to changes in assets and liabilities represent daily average levels unless otherwise noted. Business Segments Wachovia has five reportable business segments: Asset and Wealth Management, Corporate, Credit Card, Consumer and Treasury & Administration. Business segment results are reported on a management accounting basis. They reflect evolving information needs specific to a company's business managers and may differ by company due to wide discretion in application. As a result, Wachovia's business segment results are not necessarily comparable with those of other financial institutions with similar segments or with those of other companies that compete directly in one or more of its lines of business. In addition, business segment results may be restated in the future as Wachovia's management structure, information needs or reporting systems evolve. The provision for loan losses is charged to each business segment based on the credit risk of each segment's loan portfolio. Operating expenses to support business unit revenues are either charged directly as incurred or allocated from support areas based on usage. In addition, general overhead expense that cannot be specifically identified to a business unit is allocated based on the proportion of each segment's direct expenses to total direct expenses of the combined segments. Income tax expense is calculated for each business segment with a blended tax rate. This rate is adjusted as applicable for the assumed tax effect of tax-exempt income and nondeductible intangible amortization expense. Beginning January 2000, Wachovia adopted a marginal matched maturity funds transfer pricing methodology for management reporting. Formerly, Wachovia utilized a multiple pool method to simulate matched funding. This change in management accounting has been reflected for all periods. Given the complexity of products and services and their impact on cash 10 and balance sheet management, the marginal matched maturity method provides an improved method of measuring the economics of products, services and business unit results. The new approach evaluates the cash flows and repricing characteristics of all balance sheet transactions at an instrument level by benchmarking pricing decisions against Wachovia's wholesale cost of funds. This approach removes most forms of interest rate risk, prepayment risk and liquidity risk from the balance sheets of the business units and isolates them in Treasury & Administration for centralized evaluation and management. Under marginal matched maturity funds transfer pricing, business unit results more closely represent the economic impact of growth and pricing decisions. Other minor changes in management accounting were implemented during the year with all prior periods restated to reflect the changes. Financial results by business segment are discussed below.

Asset and Wealth Management Asset and Wealth Management provides integrated financial services to the affluent marketplace. During 1999, Wachovia made three acquisitions to further advance its capabilities. In April 1999, Wachovia acquired Interstate/Johnson Lane Inc. ("IJL") and in September, Wachovia completed the acquisitions of OFFITBANK Holdings, Inc. ("OFFITBANK") and Barry, Evans, Josephs & Snipes, Inc. ("BEJS"). Also in the third quarter of 1999, Wachovia sold its master trust and institutional custody business in order to focus on more strategically oriented businesses. In September 2000, Wachovia announced an agreement to acquire Tampa, Florida-based DavisBaldwin, Inc. ("DavisBaldwin"), a leading insurance agency specializing in property and casualty insurance services for commercial customers. The acquisition of DavisBaldwin was completed on November 1, 2000. Products and Services. Asset and Wealth Management delivers innovative tailored products and services through a variety of channels. The Private Financial Advisors group provides a full range of products and services to affluent customers, including banking and credit services, tax planning and consulting, trust services, portfolio management, estate planning, investment counseling and insurance.

Wachovia's brokerage business offers a wide variety of services and investment products including the Wachovia Funds through full-service brokers and branch-based investment consultants.

Wachovia Asset Management provides investment strategies and portfolio management for individuals and institutions, in addition to managing the Wachovia Funds. Industry Dynamics and Strategy. Wachovia believes the current marketplace is underserved with few national brands and fragmented competition. Within Wachovia's five-state geographic footprint, households are growing much faster than the national average, and over the next five years, the subset of affluent households is expected to grow substantially. Market 12 volatility and the projected need for intergenerational wealth transfer capabilities also will drive demand. These factors combine to create an attractive market opportunity. Asset and Wealth Management's market presence, brand names and strategic focus position it to take unique advantage of this environment. The integration of the acquisitions has allowed this business segment to increase its product offerings, leverage existing services and expand distribution channels. In September 2000, Wachovia launched the Market Acceleration Project that expands the penetration of the successful Private Financial Advisor model in new and existing markets. The goal of the project is to increase profit by generating more successful client leads and improving linkages among Wachovia's other lines of business. Financial Results. Comparisons of financial results between periods were affected by acquisitions. Net interest income increased 4 percent over the third quarter last year mainly due to strong loan growth in Private Financial Advisors net of the additional cost of funding intangible assets resulting from acquisitions. Other income rose $17 million or 13 percent with acquisitions accounting for approximately $8 million of the growth. Other expense increased $14 million or 10 percent from the third quarter of 1999 almost entirely caused by goodwill amortization expense and the expense base from the acquisitions of OFFITBANK and BEJS. Year-to-date pretax profit increased $26 million or 35 percent over the same period last year. Loan growth was primarily responsible for the $17 million increase in net interest income. Other income was up $129 million or 38 percent from a year ago reflecting acquisitions and core business growth. Record market trading activity in first quarter 2000 contributed to a strong increase in investment fees over a year ago despite some softness during the second and third quarters of 2000. The $120 million increase in expenses reflects goodwill amortization and the added expense base of the acquired entities. Corporate Corporate strives to be the preferred provider of services to targeted corporate clients through comprehensive relationship management. To achieve this goal, it works to know its customers better than the competition; anticipate customer needs and provide innovative solutions; align products, services and delivery channels with customer needs; and serve customers through insightful, trusted professionals. Products and Services. Corporate provides a comprehensive array of corporate banking, investment banking, capital markets and cash management services.

In addition to treasury consulting, the group provides an array of cash management products and has become a leading provider of Internet-based electronic access. Industry Dynamics and Strategy. While general demand for corporate services has been firm, the credit cycle in the U.S. large corporate market has continued to show signs of weakness and deterioration. Rising bond default rates, the significant increase in credit rating downgrades versus upgrades, widening credit spreads, greater incidence of public company bankruptcies, and the velocity of borrower deterioration signal rising risk in the commercial lending environment. In this highly competitive environment, Corporate maintains a strong market position in the Southeast and in the U.S. large corporate market. The strategy of Corporate is to build strong and long-lasting relationships with targeted clients through deep knowledge of their unmet needs combined with superior execution. Continuing and dynamic customer segmentation and sales model development will enhance customer service and productivity. The strategy is to sharply focus on capital markets products and improve investment banking expertise. Treasury Services is accelerating the development of innovative new products, eBusiness applications and outsourcing services. Financial Results. Net interest income increased by $16 million or 7 percent compared to the third quarter of 1999 as average loans outstanding increased by almost 13 percent. The effect on net interest income of growth in volume was partially offset by the rise in the level of nonperforming loans. Loan fees were up 17 percent due to higher origination activity. The loan loss provision increased by $61 million to $76 million, as specific reserves were adjusted to reflect some downward migration of watch list credits and the rise in nonperforming loans, particularly in the large corporate portfolio. Other income rose 3 percent, led by increases in letter of credit fees and Treasury Services revenue. Noninterest expense increased 4 percent due primarily to higher expenditures on product development and technology initiatives. Year to date net interest margin increased $54 million or 8 percent over the same period in 1999, reflecting 13 percent growth in average loans, offset partially by loan spread compression. The loan loss provision increased by $284 million, due to credit deterioration primarily in the large corporate portfolio. Other income grew by 9 percent, reflecting the inclusion of the IJL Capital Markets businesses for the full nine months in 2000, in addition to stronger letter of credit fees and Treasury Services results. Noninterest expense increased 10 percent, due to the addition of the former IJL business units, as well as higher technology spending. Credit Card Credit Card's mission is to be the preferred credit card issuer, recognized for value, fairness and long-term customer and employee relationships. Products and Services. The Credit Card business segment is a full-service provider of consumer and business credit cards and merchant acquirer services. Credit Card manages most components of credit card processing in-house, with the exception of servicing business card products and the Partners First portfolio that are processed through outside vendors. Currently, 92 percent of Wachovia's credit card portfolio accrues interest at a variable rate and 34 percent of the accounts are within Wachovia's five-state geographic footprint. Industry Dynamics and Strategy. The credit card industry is in a period of intense competition and consolidation. Response rates to direct mail solicitations are below those of prior years; however, Wachovia's response rates remain higher than the industry average. These pressures have prompted issuers to pursue new card-based products in attempt to capture market share. Credit Card's strategy focuses on serving above-average credit quality customers who carry higher-than-average loan balances while maintaining an efficient and cost-effective process. Financial Results. On February 1, 2000, Credit Card acquired the Partners First credit card portfolio that significantly impacted comparability. The acquisition of Partners First added approximately $2 billion in managed receivables. Quarterly pretax profit fell below the amount reported for the third quarter of 1999, mostly due to the favorable charge off environment 14 a year ago. Net interest income grew 31 percent, primarily due to the Partners First acquisition, partially offset by lower late fees. The loan loss provision increased 82 percent, primarily as a result of the acquisition and more favorable loss and bankruptcy experience a year ago. Noninterest income increased 32 percent largely due to the acquisition and higher overlimit fees. Year to date pretax profit decreased 5 percent. The acquisition of the Partners First portfolio was the cause for the 25 percent increase in net interest income, which was partially offset by lower spreads resulting from rising interest rates and the lag effect of repricing accounts, and lower late fees. The increase in the loan loss provision was generally due to higher balances subject to charge off as well as higher loss experience in the current year. Noninterest income grew 34 percent mainly due to the acquisition; strong interchange income from increased purchase volume; and higher overlimit fees. Total expenses rose by 38 percent primarily due to the acquisition and increased business volume. Consumer Consumer develops customer relationships for the greatest lifetime value, manages the cost of the sales and service network and pursues opportunities to attract and serve customers through traditional and digital channels. It targets consumers, worksite groups and small businesses throughout the Southeast, offering a broad array of competitively priced products and services. Consumer is also important to the entire Wachovia franchise because of the intangible value provided to Wachovia's other business segments by its branch network, brand identity and customer base. Products and Services. Consumer provides the more traditional retail banking services, including mortgage lending, deposit products and consumer loans, as well as services for the small business market. It also offers access to investment and insurance products. Delivery channels include 679 traditional and in-store branches and worksite centers, 1,364 ATMs and 31 kiosks, supported by four automated phone centers and the Internet. Campus Card programs provide card-based banking access to students and faculty at 10 university campuses, and Wachovia At Work serves employees of more than 4,600 companies. The Internet is growing in importance as a forum for financial services. Four hundred fifty-two thousand of Wachovia's demand deposit customers are enrolled in Internet banking, up from 226 thousand at year-end and 146 thousand the prior year. Wachovia's Internet site, www.wachovia.com, serves as a financial portal with extensive account information and transaction capability supported by relevant financial news. Industry Dynamics and Strategy. Consumer serves more than 3.8 million consumers and approximately 180 thousand small business customers. The majority of Wachovia's deposits are in large, high-growth metropolitan areas. Consumer's strategy is to assess customer potential, identify their financial needs and achieve alignment between their needs, service expectations and price. Specific initiatives to implement this strategy include: o Profitable Relationship Optimization (PRO). Desktop technology connects to data warehouses that analyze customer information and anticipate the next likely desired service. This technology is combined with solution-selling skills by Personal Financial Advisors, small business bankers and branch bankers to serve more than 400 thousand high-potential customers. o Wachovia at Work and Campus Banking Programs. These strategies involve deploying Wachovia products and services through employers and universities to provide access to employees and students. o Market Network Strategy. Network optimization models provide an analytical framework to reduce branch network expenses, while at the same time maximizing customer points of presence. Earlier in the year, Wachovia identified 15 branches in Virginia and four in North Carolina that were sold during the third quarter as part of this strategy. o Selective Geographic Expansion. Wachovia continues to evaluate merger and branching opportunities in high-growth areas. During the first quarter of 2000, Wachovia completed the acquisition of Bank of Canton in the suburban Atlanta area. Wachovia completed the acquisition of the National Bank of Commerce in suburban Orlando, Florida, in early June. 15 During the third quarter, Wachovia announced a branch swap transaction that will allow entry into the Tennessee market during the first quarter of 2001. eBusiness activities at Wachovia are enterprise-wide. Advances in technology are rapidly transforming the financial services industry. The eBusiness Division provides corporate-wide eBusiness strategic planning, leadership and operational management for the entire enterprise. Business units sponsor specific Internet initiatives to meet the dynamic demands of their customer groups. This collaborative structure maximizes the leverage from technology and research with the necessary responsiveness to customer requirements and deliverables. Wachovia's eBusiness strategy is to develop a personalized and seamlessly delivered customer experience when using www.wachovia.com and Wachovia's other web sites, www.macroworld.net, www.ijlwachovia.com and www.offitbank.com. Value is created by aligning customer acquisition, retention, cross-selling and cost reduction throughout all customer segment and delivery channels. Financial Results. Consumer's pretax profit grew $59 million or 65 percent from the same quarter last year. Net interest income increased 7 percent to $229 million, driven by a 20 percent increase in loans to $10.7 billion and a 4 percent increase in net deposits to $27.5 billion. Other income increased 42 percent to $156 million. The divestiture premium for the 19 branches sold in 2000 at $42 million was $34 million greater than the premium for the 6 branches sold in third quarter 1999. Excluding the impact of branches divested in both periods (operating results and divestiture premium), pretax profit increased $23 million, or 28 percent. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 9 percent primarily in returned check charges. Electronic banking revenues grew 16 percent, driven by ATM, check card and interchange revenues. Total expenses increased less than 1 percent, despite the investment in Wachovia's Internet site to support retail delivery and the additions of Bank of Canton and National Bank of Commerce expenses. Nine-month pretax profit increased $81 million or 32 percent over the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the branch divestitures in both years, pretax profit increased $45 million or 19 percent. Strong results for the branch-based consumer business offset a difficult mortgage lending environment and investments in Wachovia's retail delivery through the Internet. Results included eight months of Bank of Canton and four months of National Bank of Commerce. Net interest income increased 6 percent on good loan and deposit growth and higher interest rates, which caused spreads to widen on deposit products. Loan growth was solid in the Bankline and Equity Bankline categories, and savings certificates was the highest growth category in deposits as a result of the deposit mix of acquired banks, special marketing promotions and a shift in customer preference. Other income was up 18 percent driven by the divestiture premium, healthy deposit account and electronic banking fee growth. Excluding the divestiture premium from both years, other income increased 7 percent. Electronic banking revenue grew 19 percent due to rising ATM, debit card volumes and interchange revenue, and deposit-related fees increased 10 percent. Mortgage fees declined 25 percent on lower volume and a continued shift from fixed-rate to adjustable-rate mortgages. Expenses grew 2 percent as a result of the addition of the acquired banks and investment in the Internet site to support retail customers. Treasury & Administration The Treasury & Administration segment principally reflects asset and liability management for interest rate risk, management of the securities portfolio, internal compensation for funding sources and charges for funds used. Also reflected is the financial statement impact of credit card securitization transactions, since the Credit Card business segment is reported on a managed basis. Securitization involves the transfer of a pool of assets from the balance sheet to a master trust which then issues and sells to investors certificates representing a pro rata interest in the underlying assets. The transaction reduces interest income and the credit exposure associated with the transferred receivables while increasing credit card noninterest income in the form of gains on card sales, servicing fees and other excess revenue earned on the securitized loans. Other unallocated corporate costs and certain nonrecurring expenses are also included. Financial Results. Credit card securitization transactions and the securitized portion of the acquired Partners First credit card portfolio have a large impact on comparability with prior year results. In March 1999, September 1999 and August 2000, Wachovia completed the securitization of $896 million, $500 million and $750 million, respectively, in credit card 16 receivables. In comparing 2000 to 1999, the securitization transactions had the net effect of reducing average loans outstanding by $826 million for the quarter and $878 million year to date. The securitized portion of the acquired Partners First portfolio reduced average balances by $1.5 billion for the quarter and $1.3 billion year to date. The remaining reduction in average assets in both period comparisons was largely caused by attrition in the securities portfolio. Quarterly pretax profit declined by $80 million almost entirely due to the restructuring charge recorded in third quarter 2000. Although securitization transactions impacted various income statement line items, their net effect on pretax profits was minimal. Net interest income decreased $57 million with $54 million resulting from the increase in securitized credit card receivables. The increase in securitized credit card receivables also accounted for most of the decrease in the provision for loan losses from the third quarter of 1999. Fees for servicing securitized credit cards increased by $11 million from a year ago, accounting for all of the $7 million increase in other income. The increase of $88 million in other expense for the quarter is primarily the result of the restructuring charge taken in the third quarter of 2000. The $7 million increase in merger- related charges was mostly offset by $5 million in expenses incurred in the third quarter of 1999 related to Year 2000 preparations. Year to date pretax profit declined $87 million principally as a result of the restructuring charge. The increase in the amount of securitized credit cards accounted for $153 million of the $158 million decrease in net interest income. Securitizations and the securitized portion of the acquired Partners First portfolio are also the primary cause of the decrease in loan loss provision. The $25 million increase in other income primarily results from a $33 million increase in fees received for servicing the larger volume of securitized cards, offset by a $18 million decrease in gains from securitization transactions. Other expense increased $88 million due to a higher level of nonrecurring expenses including $88 million in restructuring charges, $15 million in merger integration expenses, and $20 million in litigation settlement charges. The increase in nonrecurring expenses was offset by $16 million in expenses incurred through the first nine months of 1999 in connection with Year 2000 preparations. 17 Taxable Equivalent Rate/Volume

Any variance attributable jointly to volume and rate changes is allocated to the volume and rate in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change in each. ** Volume amounts are reported at amortized cost; excludes pretax unrealized losses of $138 million in 2000 and unrealized gains of $46 million in 1999. 19 Consolidated Financial Results Net Interest Income Wachovia's taxable equivalent net interest income rose $13 million or 2.1 percent from the third quarter of 1999 to $640 million. Year-to-date net interest income increased $46 million from the same period a year ago. During the second quarter, the Federal Reserve continued to take action to slow the economy with a 50 basis point rate increase on May 16 that followed five 25 basis point increases from July 1999 through the end of the first quarter. Although the Federal Reserve took no further action on rates since May 16, third quarter results reflected the full effect of the earlier rate adjustments. Upon each action by the Federal Reserve, Wachovia raised its prime lending rate to keep pace with the rise in funding costs. For third quarter 2000, Wachovia's average prime lending rate and the average federal funds rate were 9.50 percent and 6.52 percent, respectively, compared with 8.10 percent and 5.09 percent, respectively, a year ago. Wachovia's net yield on interest-earning assets was 4.09 percent compared with 4.29 percent reported for the third quarter of 1999. For the nine-month period, the net yield on interest-earning assets was 4.17 percent compared with 4.34 percent a year ago. Several factors contributed to the lower net yield on interest earning assets including credit card securitization transactions and the reversal of accrued interest on loans transferred to non accrual status. Loan growth continued to outpace growth in core deposits leading to greater use of wholesale sources to fund loan demand. Although this contributed positively to net interest income, it had a slightly dilutive effect on the net yield on interest-earning assets. Competitive pressures, primarily in the consumer (excluding credit card) and real estate loan categories where most of the growth occurred, kept pricing for new loans from including the full impact of the Federal Reserve's rate increases. Competition for deposits also resulted in narrowing spreads on new certificates of deposit.

The rise in rates resulted in higher yields in all loan categories except lease financing. Changes in portfolio mix resulting from credit card securitization transactions completed during 1999 and 2000 subdued retail loan yields in 2000. The effect of the securitizations was most evident in comparing year-to-date yields to 1999 as the Series 1999-1 transaction, representing $896 million in receivables, occurred late in the first quarter of 1999. The Series 1999-2 transaction, representing $500 million in receivables, occurred in late third quarter 1999. At the beginning of the third quarter of 2000, Wachovia completed the 2000-1 series securitization representing $750 million in receivables. Also during the third quarter, the 1995-1 series securitization transaction began to mature which resulted in the loans returning to the balance sheet. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 112 basis points from the third quarter of 1999 and 86 basis points year-to-date from 1999. Comparisons with prior year reflect the rising rate environment that began with the Federal Reserve's actions to slow the economy in early third quarter 1999. Liability mix also contributed to the increase in the rate on interest bearing liabilities as most of the growth in the balance sheet was funded from wholesale sources. Deposit mix added to the increase in funding costs as customer preference shifted toward certificates of deposit from lower rate money market savings accounts. Interest-bearing core deposit funding increased $154 million and $437 million, respectively, compared to the third quarter and the first nine months of 1999 despite the loss of $438 million in deposits with the sale of branches in the third quarter of 2000. The acquisitions of Bank of Canton and National Bank of Commerce and the third quarter 1999 sale of branches also affected comparability of core deposits balances between periods. 20 For the remainder of the year, management expects the net yield on interest-earning assets to remain comparable to that reported in the third quarter. Net interest income is anticipated to grow modestly for the remainder of the year.

Demand remained strong although Management's view of rising risk in the lending environment led to more caution and selectivity in taking on new business. Adjusting for acquisitions and securitization transactions, loan growth was approximately 13 percent and 11 percent, respectively, year over year in comparing the third quarter and the first nine months. In comparison with the fourth quarter of 1999, average loan volume, excluding acquisitions, grew approximately $4 billion. Economic conditions in Wachovia's five state primary lending area, as well as nationally have been good, but showed continued evidence of slowing. For the remainder of the year, management expects loan growth to continue at a slower rate.

During 1999, Wachovia allowed portfolio attrition to fund a portion of the loan growth. During the first nine months of 2000, maturing securities were replaced to maintain the portfolio at a relatively constant level.

Excluding the effects of acquisitions and branch sales in both the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, average interest-bearing core deposits held steady compared with the third and fourth quarters of 1999. Bank of Canton and National Bank of Commerce added approximately $275 million and approximately $80 million, respectively, to third quarter 2000 average balances. The mix of interest bearing core deposits shifted more to savings certificates in the third quarter 2000 compared with the same period a year ago due to certificate of deposit promotions and a shift in customer preference. 22 Wachovia utilizes a wide variety of wholesale funding sources including large denomination certificates of deposit, foreign deposits, repurchase agreements, federal funds, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, bank notes and senior and subordinated debt to fund the balance sheet. The mix and characteristics of wholesale funding are determined based on interest rate risk management, liquidity needs and available pricing. Subordinated debt is used for capital management purposes since it qualifies for inclusion in Tier II capital for risk based capital purposes. Several large debt transactions affect comparability of both period-end and average balances between reported periods. During 1999, Wachovia issued $1 billion in senior and subordinated debt. On March 31, 2000, Wachovia issued $300 million in subordinated debt that replaced $300 million in subordinated debt that matured on December 15, 1999. On July 6, 2000, Wachovia issued $550 million in senior debt securities followed by $300 million in subordinated securities issued by Wachovia Bank on July 24, 2000. On October 4, 2000, Wachovia issued $300 million in fixed rate senior securities. Liquidity Management Wachovia manages liquidity at both the parent and subsidiary levels through active management of the balance sheet. Parent company liquidity comes from short-term investments that can be sold immediately, the ability to issue debt and equity securities, and from dividends and interest income from subsidiaries. At September 30, 2000, Wachovia Corporation had $1.704 billion in interest-bearing balances with Wachovia Bank, N.A. ("Wachovia Bank"), and $1.050 billion available for issuance as senior or subordinate debt securities under existing shelf registrations filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At October 1, 2000, $780 million was available from Wachovia Bank to pay dividends to Wachovia Corporation without prior regulatory approval. As a back-up liquidity facility for commercial paper, Wachovia has $490 million in lines of credit from unaffiliated banks. No borrowings have occurred under these lines. Wachovia Corporation's senior notes are rated Aa3 by Moody's, AA- by Fitch and AA- by Standard & Poor's, and its subordinated notes are rated A1 by Moody's, A+ by Fitch and A+ by Standard & Poor's. The subordinated debt securities qualify for inclusion in Tier II capital under risk-based capital guidelines. Capital securities, also classified as part of other long-term debt, totaled $997 million at September 30, 2000. The capital securities are rated aa3 by Moody's, A+ by Fitch and A by Standard & Poor's and qualify as Tier I capital under risk-based capital guidelines. Through its global bank note program, Wachovia Bank is authorized to issue up to $21.557 billion of bank notes. The global bank note program consists of issuances with original maturities beginning at seven days. Bank notes with original maturities of one year or less are included in other short-term borrowed funds, and bank notes with original maturities greater than one year are considered medium-term in nature and are classified as long-term debt. Under the existing offering circular, Wachovia Bank can have outstanding up to $10 billion of notes at any one time with original maturities from 7 to 270 days. Wachovia Bank may issue up to an aggregate of $8 billion of notes with maturities of more than 270 days. At September 30, 2000, Wachovia Bank had approximately $6.6 billion of the notes with maturities of more than 270 days available under the existing authorization. Short-term bank notes outstanding as of September 30, 2000 were $851 million, with an average cost of 6.56 percent and an average maturity of one month. Medium-term bank notes were $2.029 billion on the same date, with an average cost of 6.52 percent and an average maturity of 4.7 years. Short-term issues under the global bank note program are rated P-1 by Moody's, F1+ by Fitch and A-1+ by Standard & Poor's, while medium-term issues are rated Aa2 by Moody's, AA- by Fitch and AA by Standard & Poor's. On October 6, 2000, Moody's placed Wachovia Corporation's and Wachovia Bank's ratings on review for possible downgrade. All long-term ratings were placed under review. Wachovia's short-term rating of P-1 was confirmed. 23 Allowance for Loan Losses Table 13 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (thousands) 2000 -------------------------------------- Third Second First Quarter Quarter Quarter ---------- --------- --------- Summary of Transactions Balance at beginning of period ................ $799,351 $ 595,655 $ 554,810 Additions from acquisitions ................... ---- 3,289 40,504 Provision for loan losses ..................... 123,956 273,365 73,666 Deduct net loan losses: Loans charged off: Commercial .................................. 70,573 14,991 11,280 Credit card ................................. 57,099 62,469 62,883 Other revolving credit ...................... 2,819 2,219 2,379 Other retail ................................ 8,437 8,124 9,875 Real estate ................................. 887 1,612 1,220 Lease financing ............................. 226 404 568 Foreign ..................................... ---- ---- ---- ---------- --------- --------- Total ...................................... 140,041 89,819 88,205 Recoveries: Commercial .................................. 1,673 583 621 Credit card ................................. 10,446 12,096 10,129 Other revolving credit ...................... 480 641 647 Other retail ................................ 2,441 3,018 2,566 Real estate ................................. 1,033 402 786 Lease financing ............................. 122 121 131 Foreign ..................................... ---- ---- ---- ---------- --------- --------- Total ...................................... 16,195 16,861 14,880 ---------- --------- --------- Net loan losses .............................. 123,846 72,958 73,325 ---------- --------- --------- Balance at end of period ...................... $799,461 $ 799,351 $ 595,655 ========== ========= ========= Net Loan Losses (Recoveries) by Category Commercial .................................... $ 68,900 $ 14,408 $ 10,659 Credit card ................................... 46,653 50,373 52,754 Other revolving credit ........................ 2,339 1,578 1,732 Other retail .................................. 5,996 5,106 7,309 Real estate ...................................

At September 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was $799 million or 1.47 percent of outstanding loans compared with $555 million or 1.12 percent and $554 million or 1.16 percent at December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999, respectively. The allowance for loan losses varied over the periods presented as a result of changes in the portfolio's risk profile. The increase in the allowance at September 30, 2000 was due to a rise in the level of nonperforming loans and management's view that rising interest rates and the slowing economy had affected corporate borrowers' ability to service debt. While commercial loan losses and nonperformings have risen from the third and fourth quarters of 1999, the impact on the allowance for loan losses has been partially offset by changes in portfolio mix. At September 30, 2000, commercial loans accounted for 34.4 percent of the loan portfolio compared with 35.7 percent and 35.5 percent at December 31, 1999 and 24 September 30, 1999, respectively. Credit card loans, which carry the highest historical charge off rates, represented 7.7 percent of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2000 compared with 9.5 percent and 9.4 percent at December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999, respectively. Credit card balances declined in proportion to the rest of portfolio as a result of asset securitizations and robust growth in other loan categories. Real estate loans, which historically have experienced the most favorable charge off rates accounted for 38.9 percent of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2000, up from 35.9 percent and 36.3 percent at December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999, respectively. The provision for loan losses charged to earnings was an amount sufficient to position the allowance for loan losses at the appropriate level as described above. For the third quarter and the first nine months of 2000, the provision for loan losses was $124 million and $471 million, respectively, compared with $77 million and $232 million for the same periods of 1999. The increase in the provision reflected deterioration in some commercial credits as evidenced in the increase in nonperforming loans. External indicators in the market, such as rising default rates, several high profile bankruptcies, the significant increase in credit rating downgrades versus upgrades and widening credit spreads also suggest that deterioration in the credit cycle is developing. These factors led to management's conclusion that the historical loss rates used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss did not reflect the risk in the portfolio and therefore did not accurately measure losses inherent in the portfolio. Management's views were further supported by downward migration in credit quality ratings and a resulting increase in the number of loans appearing on Wachovia's internal watch list during the second quarter. The watch list began to show some stability during the third quarter with the exception of some downward migration within categories and the rise in nonperforming loans. Management is closely monitoring the loan portfolio while paying particular attention to changing business and economic conditions. Appropriate actions will be taken if and when the circumstances dictate. Provision expense levels for the remainder of the year will be affected by changing conditions in the market and the resulting impact on Wachovia's customers. Provision expense for the fourth quarter is expected to be down from the third quarter but higher than the historical run rate. Nonperforming assets increased $238 million from December 31, 1999 to $462 million at September 30, 2000. The rise in nonperforming loans resulted primarily from a few high profile bankruptcies involving multibank credits. These loans had been monitored on Wachovia's internal watch list prior to nonperforming classification. At Wachovia, multibank credits are subject to the same underwriting standards and credit review as other corporate loans. The slowing economy and rising rates have pressured large corporate customers that may have expanded aggressively. In some cases, the speed with which corporate borrowers are filing bankruptcy, even though their liquidity and net worth are positive, has accelerated as a result of changing corporate strategies and external events. Any loss expected on the corporate nonperforming loans has been specifically reserved under FAS 114 and such specific reserves were included within the total allowance for loan losses. In many cases, management anticipates that the amount of loss will be low to moderate. Outside of the large corporate loan portfolio, credit quality remained solid with no increase in nonperforming assets and delinquencies. Looking forward, management remains watchful of credit quality issues and expects some further increase in nonperforming loans over the next few quarters. It is difficult to predict the exact magnitude and timing as much of the credit deterioration is driven by specific events that are not easily predicted. At September 30, 2000, Wachovia's nonperforming assets represented .85 percent of total loans and foreclosed property compared with .45 percent and .50 percent at December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999, respectively. There were no significant concentrations of loans in any one industry at September 30, 2000. 25 Nonperforming Assets and Contractually Past Due Loans Table 14 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (thousands) Sep. 30 Jun. 30 Mar. 31 Dec. 31 Sep. 30 2000 2000 2000 1999 1999 ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- Nonperforming assets: Cash-basis assets ....................................... $444,880 $283,577 $226,176 $204,098 $214,594 Restructured loans ...................................... ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- Total nonperforming loans ............................ 444,880 283,577 226,176 204,098 214,594 Foreclosed property: Foreclosed real estate ................................. 12,794 12,946 17,665 19,759 24,540 Less valuation allowance ............................... 2,429 2,867 4,077 5,941 7,456 Other foreclosed assets ................................ 6,501 5,060 6,343 5,874 6,602 ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- Total foreclosed property ............................ 16,866 15,139 19,931 19,692 23,686 ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- Total nonperforming assets ........................... $461,746 $298,716 $246,107 $223,790 $238,280 ========== ========== ========== ======== ========== Nonperforming loans to period-end loans ................. .82% .53% .44% .41% .45% Nonperforming assets to period-end loans and foreclosed property ................................ .85 .56 .48 .45 .50 Period-end allowance for loan losses times nonperforming loans .................................... 1.80x 2.82x 2.63x 2.72x 2.58x Period-end allowance for loan losses times nonperforming assets ................................... 1.73 2.68 2.42 2.48 2.32 Contractually past due loans -- accruing loans past due 90 days or more ......................................... $123,079 $127,218 $126,318 $97,642 $106,755 ========== ========== ========== ======== ========== Noninterest Income Table 15 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (thousands) 2000 ---------------------------------- Third Second First Quarter Quarter Quarter --------- -------- -------- Service charges on deposit accounts ............... $106,765 $104,380 $100,811 Fees for trust services ........................... 56,636 54,189 51,234 Credit card income -- net of interchange payments ......................................... 82,337 71,463 71,182 Investment fees ................................... 80,065 81,439 96,770 Capital markets income ............................ 40,092 45,014 44,786 Electronic banking ................................ 26,254 26,153 23,396 Mortgage fees ..................................... 7,373 5,921 5,001 Bankers' acceptance and letter of credit fees ..... 15,102 13,671 11,597 Other service charges and fees .................... 34,038 30,361 29,181 Other income ...................................... 71,328 37,708 36,841 --------- -------- -------- Total other operating revenue ................... 519,990 470,299 470,799 Securities (losses) gains .........................

The largest portion of the growth was attributable to the strategic acquisitions of IJL, OFFITBANK and BEJS and their respective impact on investment fee income and capital markets income. Credit card securitizations and the acquired Partners First portfolio also contributed substantially. Adjusting for the effects of acquisitions and securitization transactions, operating revenue grew approximately 13 percent for the quarter and approximately 11 percent year to date. Gains from branch sales totaled $42 million and $8 million during the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the remainder of the year, fee income is expected to remain in line with the third quarter, absent the gains from branch sales. Market sensitive sources such as capital markets income and investment fee income will be the key to whether the growth rate in overall fee income returns to the pace experienced last year. The outlook for the remaining fee income categories remains good. Service charges on deposit accounts for the third quarter and year to date grew $12 million or 12.9 percent and 39 million or 14.3 percent, respectively from the same periods in 1999. Returned check charges for overdraft and insufficient funds and commercial analysis fees were the main drivers of the increase. 26 Credit card income for the third quarter and year to date increased $12 million or 16.3 percent and $35 million or 18.3 percent, respectively from the same periods in 1999 driven by credit card securitizations and the Partners First acquired portfolio. Exclusive of these transactions, credit card income was up approximately 5 percent for the quarter and up approximately 9 percent year to date. The increase in both periods reflected higher overlimit charges and interchange fees. Investment fees were up for both the quarter and year to date by $11 million or 15.4 percent and $102 million or 64.9 percent, respectively from the same periods a year ago largely as a result of the expanded customer base from acquisitions. The acquisitions of OFFITBANK, which was completed late in the third quarter of 1999, and Interstate/Johnson Lane, which was completed on April 1, 1999, affected comparability between periods and accounted for most of the increase. Excluding those acquisitions, investment fees increased approximately 6 percent for the quarter and 10 percent for the first nine months from the same periods a year ago. This income is sensitive to market conditions that softened during the second and third quarters after trading activity reached record levels in the first quarter. In addition to resulting in lower levels of equity commissions, market conditions unfavorably impacted capital markets income leaving it $2 million or 4.4 percent lower than the third quarter of 1999 but up approximately 4 percent year to date excluding the effect of the acquisition of IJL. Part of the decline in capital markets income is due to lower loan syndication fees reflecting more selectivity in light of a riskier lending environment. Electronic banking fees and bankers' acceptance and letter of credit fees experienced strong growth in comparison to prior year. For the third quarter and first nine months, electronic banking fees increased $3 million or 12.6 percent and $11 million or 17.8 percent, respectively with acquisitions having minimal impact. Debit card interchange fees accounted for substantially all of the increase reflecting a continued trend of growing consumer acceptance. Bankers' acceptance and letter of credit fees increased $3 million or 29.2 percent for the quarter and $7 million or 20.2 percent year to date compared with the same periods in 1999 reflecting strong demand for domestic letters of credit and more favorable pricing. Other service charges and fees increased by $15 million or 74.6 percent and $40 million or 76 percent, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months compared with the same periods in 1999. Most of the increase was in fees for servicing the securitized portion of the Partners First credit card portfolio and the assets securitized in 1999 and 2000. Excluding the effects of Partners First and other acquisitions and the securitization transactions, this revenue category remained relatively level over the comparable periods of 1999.

Excluding nonrecurring expenses, noninterest expense rose $37 million or 6.5 percent for the quarter and $205 million or 12.5 percent year to date. These increases primarily resulted from the added expense base of acquired entities. Nonrecurring expenses include restructuring charges, merger-related expenses, and a litigation settlement charge. The restructuring charge recorded in the third quarter of 2000 is explained in more detail on page 29. The litigation settlement charge recorded in the first quarter of 2000 resulted from an agreement reached with the U. S. Department of Labor to settle litigation stemming from a lawsuit begun against South Carolina National Bank (a predecessor of Wachovia Bank) in May 1991. Excluding these transactions, expense control initiatives were effective in holding noninterest expense flat for the quarter and to an increase of approximately 2 percent year to date. Expenses are expected to decline for the remainder of the year as the effects of the resource realignment begin to be realized. Total personnel expense increased $9 million or 2.7 percent for the quarter and $109 million or 12.2 percent from the comparable periods in 1999. Exclusive of acquisitions, total personnel expense was flat for the quarter and increased approximately 3 percent year to date compared with 1999. At September 30, 2000, Wachovia had 21,110 full time equivalent employees compared with 21,722 a year earlier. Amortization of intangible assets rose from prior year levels as a result of goodwill and purchased credit card premiums added by acquisitions. The acquisition of the Partners First portfolio had the most significant impact on intangible amortization due to the shorter period over which it is being amortized. Other expense increased $14 million or 29 percent for the quarter and $41 million or 29.8 percent for the first nine months compared with 1999. Acquisitions accounted for most of the increase with the largest component being external processing fees paid to service the acquired Partners First credit card portfolio. Aside from the impact of acquisitions, overall expenses in the remaining categories were generally level with a year ago. 28 Restructuring Charge On August 28, 2000, Wachovia announced the realignment of resources that called for the elimination of 1,800 positions. The positions being eliminated were identified through a productivity review focused on improving work processes, introducing new technology, broadening spans of control and eliminating levels of management across the company. The effected positions are diversely scattered among all lines of business and at all levels throughout the organization. The staff reductions are expected to reduce annual expenses by more than $100 million beginning next quarter, mostly in salaries and employee benefits. Much of this savings will be reinvested in high growth areas such as Asset and Wealth Management and Corporate Financial Services. As part of the restructuring plan, Wachovia will be closing its Raleigh, North Carolina operations center. Functions currently performed at that location will move to other operations centers within the Wachovia system. Wachovia also plans to close several underperforming branches over the next few quarters including 11 in store branches in Atlanta and Fayetteville, North Carolina which was announced in September 2000. The branches to be closed had a marginal contribution to financial results and the customers will continue to be served by nearby branches. The resource realignment also included exiting the municipal finance business. Wachovia incurred an $88 million charge, pretax, in the third quarter, mostly in severance costs for the positions eliminated. The amounts expensed and paid during the third quarter are reported below. Charge to Utilized During the Balance at Earnings Third Quarter September 30, 2000 -------- -------------------- ------------------- Severance and personnel related costs $ 69,983 $ 2,207 $ 67,776 Occupancy and other costs ............ 17,961 16,578 1,383 -------- -------- -------- Total ................................ $ 87,944 $ 18,785 $ 69,159 ======== ======== ======== Severance and personnel related costs include severance payments to terminated employees as well as benefits including pension, medical and job transition assistance. The amount charged to earnings in the third quarter included benefits for 1,245 employees that received notice or had otherwise been identified prior to September 30. Severance benefits will not be paid for all 1,800 eliminated positions since some of the positions will vacate through normal attrition. Occupancy and other costs represent asset impairment charges and other facility exit costs associated with the project. Included in occupancy and other costs are non-cash items of approximately $13 million. Additional expenses of approximately $30 million are expected to be incurred over the next few quarters.

Wachovia's effective tax rate is higher than 1999 for both the quarter and year to date due to an increase in nondeductible amortization associated with purchase business combinations. New Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FASB 133). FASB 133 establishes new accounting and reporting requirements for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. The standard requires all derivatives to be measured at fair value and recognized as either assets or liabilities in the statement of condition. Under certain conditions, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge. Accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Adoption of the standard is required for Wachovia's December 31, 2001 financial statements with early adoption allowed as of the beginning of any quarter after June 30, 1998. Management has assessed the impact and plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2001. Adoption is not expected to result in a material financial impact. In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" (FASB 140) which replaces FASB Statement No. 125. FASB 140 revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other tranfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain additional disclosures regarding these activities. The statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets or extinguishments of liabilities that occur after March 31, 2001. The statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Management is in the process of assessing the impact and plans to adopt the standard in accordance with the effective dates. Adoption is not expected to result in a material financial impact. Shareholders' Equity and Capital Ratios Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2000 was $6.090 billion, up $462 million or 8.2 percent from $5.628 billion one year earlier and up $432 million or 7.6 percent from December 31, 1999. Included in shareholders' equity at the end of the third quarter of 2000 was $32 million, net of tax, of unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale compared with unrealized losses of $29 million, net of tax, one year earlier and unrealized losses of $74 million at December 31, 1999. Wachovia repurchased a total of 1,674,300 shares of its common stock as authorized by the Board of Directors during the first nine months of 2000 at an average price of $60 per share for a total cost of $101 million. Included in the total were 573,594 shares repurchased to offset shares issued for the acquisition of B C Bankshares, Inc. and 633,176 shares repurchased to offset shares issued for the acquisition of Commerce National Corporation. Wachovia can repurchase up to 8 million shares of its common stock under a January 28, 2000 authorization effective through January 25, 2002. As of September 30, 2000, a total of 467,530 shares had been repurchased under the January 28, 2000 authorization. Management will continue to work within the guidelines of its share repurchase authorization while assessing the best deployment of Wachovia's capital. At its October 27, 2000 meeting, the Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $.60 per share, payable December 1 to shareholders of record as of November 9. The dividend is higher by 11 percent from $.54 per share paid in the same quarter of 1999. Intangible assets at September 30, 2000 totaled $1.233 billion, consisting of $924 million of goodwill, $68 million of deposit base intangibles, $240 million of purchased credit card premiums and $1 million of other intangibles. The acquisitions of B C Bankshares, Inc., the Partners First Holdings LLC portfolio, and Commerce National Corporation added approximately $97 million, $230 million and $33 million, respectively, in intangibles based on preliminary information. Intangible assets at 30 the end of the third quarter of 1999 were $961 million, with $832 million of goodwill, $83 million of deposit base intangibles, $36 million of purchased credit card premiums, $10 million of other intangibles. Regulatory agencies divide capital into Tier I (consisting of shareholders' equity and certain cumulative preferred stock instruments less ineligible intangible assets) and Tier II (consisting of the allowable portion of the reserve for loan losses and certain long-term debt) and measure capital adequacy by applying both capital levels to a banking company's risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items. Regulatory requirements presently specify that Tier I capital should exclude the unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, on securities available-for-sale. In addition to these capital ratios, regulatory agencies have established a Tier I leverage ratio which measures Tier I capital to average assets less ineligible intangible assets.

Regulatory guidelines require a minimum of total capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of 8 percent with at least one-half consisting of tangible common shareholders' equity and a minimum Tier I leverage ratio of 3 percent. Banks that meet or exceed a Tier I ratio of 6 percent, a total capital ratio of 10 percent and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered well capitalized by regulatory standards. It is Wachovia's policy that it and its banking subsidiaries be well capitalized at all times. 31 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management Market risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in instrument values or earnings fluctuation resulting from changes in market factors including changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and other market variables such as equity price risk. Wachovia primarily is exposed to interest rate risk with immaterial risk exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates and equity prices in the nontrading portfolios. Trading Market Risk Trading market risk is the risk to net income from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments that are marked-to-market through the income statement. The earnings risk due to changes in fair value in the trading portfolios is limited by the short-term holding periods of some of the portfolios, entering into offsetting trades with market counterparties, establishing and monitoring market risk limits by portfolio, and utilizing various hedging techniques. Wachovia uses a value-at-risk (VaR) methodology to gauge potential losses in various trading portfolios due to changes in interest rates. The VaR estimate represents the maximum expected loss in fair value of a trading portfolio over a one day time horizon, given a 99 percent confidence level. In other words, there is about a 1 percent chance, given historical volatility of interest rates, that a loss greater than the VaR estimate will occur by the end of the next day. At September 30, 2000, the combined VaR exposure was $110 thousand representing .03 percent of the combined trading portfolio value of $436 million. The combined average VaR exposure for the third quarter of 2000 was $295 thousand representing .05 percent of the combined average trading portfolio value of $598 million. These VaR numbers are for the combined U. S. Treasury and government agency, municipal bond, residential mortgage-backed securities and money market instrument trading portfolios. Nontrading Market Risk Nontrading market risk is the risk to net income and equity capital from changes in interest rates on asset, liability and off-balance sheet portfolios other than trading. The risk is driven by potential mismatches resulting from timing differences in the repricing of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and potential exercise of explicit and embedded options. There also is net income risk from changes in market rate relationships known as basis risk. Management believes that nontrading interest rate risk is best measured by simulation modeling which calculates expected net income based on projected interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, off-balance sheet financial instruments, other income and other expense. The model projections are based upon historical trends and management's expectations of balance sheet growth patterns, spreads to market rates, historical market rate relationships, prepayment behavior, current and expected product offerings, sales activity, and expected exercise of explicit and embedded options. In order to discern risk levels preset in the balance sheet beyond the 24 month time horizon used in simulation modeling, Wachovia utilizes a present value methodology commonly referred to as Economic Value of Equity or EVE. The policy guideline limit for net income (after-tax changes in net interest income) simulation is a negative impact to net income of 7.5 percent for the up or down 200 basis point ramp scenarios when compared with the flat rate scenario. Management has generally maintained a risk position well within the policy guideline level. The model indicated the impact of a 200 basis point gradual rise in rates over the next 12 months would cause approximately a .45 percent increase in net income at September 30, 2000 versus a 2.00 percent increase one year earlier. A gradual decrease in rates over the next 12 months would cause approximately a .69 percent decrease in net income as of September 30, 2000 compared with a 2.25 percent decrease at September 30, 1999. Wachovia runs additional scenarios beyond the standard shock and ramp scenarios, including yield curve steepening, flattening and inversion scenarios. Various sensitivity analyses are performed on a regular basis to segregate interest rate risk into separate components and understand the risk attributable to prepayments, caps and floors, and other options. Extensive assumptions testing is performed to understand the degree of impact from changing key assumptions such as the speed of prepayments, the interest rate elasticity of core deposit rates and faster- or slower-growing balance sheets. 32 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
