RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Wachovia Corporation ("Wachovia") is a southeastern interstate
bank holding company with dual headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia,
and Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The corporation's principal
banking subsidiary is Wachovia Bank, N.A., which maintains
operations in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Credit
card services are provided through The First National Bank of
Atlanta. In June, the corporation announced separate merger
agreements with Jefferson Bankshares, Inc., of Charlottesville,
Virginia, and Central Fidelity Banks, Inc., of Richmond, Virginia.
The merger with Jefferson Bankshares is expected to be accounted
for as a purchase transaction, and the merger with Central
Fidelity is anticipated to be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests transaction. At June 30, 1997, Jefferson
Bankshares and Central Fidelity had total assets of $2.2 billion
and $10.7 billion, respectively. Both mergers are subject to
approval by shareholders and appropriate regulatory agencies and
are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Wachovia regularly evaluates acquisition opportunities and
conducts due diligence activities in connection with possible
acquisitions. As a result, acquisition discussions and, in some
cases, negotiations may take place and future acquisitions
involving cash, debt or equity securities may occur. Acquisitions
typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market
values, and, therefore, some dilution of Wachovia's book value and
net income per common share may occur in connection with any
future transactions.
Economic growth continued during the second quarter of 1997
but at a more moderate pace than the first three months of the
year. The economy expanded at an annualized rate of 2.2 percent
from the preceding three-month period versus a revised 4.9 percent
in the first quarter. Economic conditions within Wachovia's
primary operating states of Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina remained generally favorable, with seasonally adjusted
unemployment for the quarter averaging 4.4 percent, 3.4 percent
and 4.8 percent, respectively, versus 4.9 percent nationwide.
Wachovia's net income for the second quarter of 1997 was
$165.623 million or $1.01 per fully diluted share compared with
$159.363 million or $.94 per fully diluted share a year earlier.
For the first six months, net income totaled $328.705 million or
$2.00 per fully diluted share versus $309.233 million or $1.81 per
fully diluted share in the same period of 1996. Gains for the
quarter and first half reflected good revenue growth moderated by
increased provisions for loan losses and higher spending for
growth initiatives and Year 2000 conversion costs. Total revenues,
excluding securities transactions, grew $62.202 million or 10.4
percent for the quarter and $110.025 million or 9.4 percent year
to date. Net income represented annualized returns of 18.44
percent on shareholders' equity and 1.42 percent on assets for the
quarter and annualized returns of 18.15 percent on equity and 1.42
percent on assets for the first half of 1997.
Expanded discussion of operating results and the corporation's
financial condition is presented in the following narrative with
accompanying tables. Interest income is stated on a taxable
equivalent basis which is adjusted for the tax-favored status of
earnings from certain loans and investments. References to changes
in assets and liabilities represent daily average levels unless
otherwise noted.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Taxable equivalent net interest income for the second quarter
increased $27.892 million or 7 percent year over year and was up
$58.155 million or 7.4 percent for the first six months. Gains in
both periods reflected good loan growth, a higher average earning
yield and a more favorable funding mix, with time deposits
increasing while short-term borrowings and long-term debt
declined. Compared with the first quarter, taxable equivalent net
interest income rose $8.002 million or 1.9 percent due primarily
to higher loan volume. The net yield on interest-earning assets
(taxable equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average
interest-earning assets) improved 12 basis points for the second
period versus a year earlier and 15 basis points year to date but
was modestly lower by 3 basis points from the preceding three
months.
Taxable equivalent interest income rose $54.779 million or 6.8
percent for the quarter and $89.669 million or 5.6 percent for the
first half, fueled by good loan growth including gains in the
higher-yielding consumer portfolio. Loans expanded $2.245 billion
or 7.5 percent for the three months and $2.256 billion or 7.6
percent year to date with the average rate earned increasing 29
basis points and 23 basis points, respectively. Total
interest-earning assets grew a more moderate $1.529 billion or 3.8
percent for the quarter and $1.488 billion or 3.7 percent for the
first six months with the average yield up 21 basis points and 16
basis points, respectively. Taxable equivalent interest income was
higher by $28.406 million or 3.4 percent from the first quarter,
primarily reflecting continued good loan demand. Loans advanced
$768 million or an annualized 9.8 percent from the preceding three
months with the average yield rising 8 basis points.
Commercial loans, including related real estate categories,
lease financing and foreign loans, grew $1.359 billion or 7.6
percent for the quarter versus a year earlier and were higher by
$1.217 billion or 6.9 percent for the first half of 1997. All
categories expanded except tax-exempt loans, which decreased due
to paydowns in the ESOP portfolio, and the reduced availability of
tax-exempt borrowing and lending at acceptable yields. Gains were
led by taxable commercial loans and the real estate portfolio.
Taxable commercial loans rose $553 million or 5.6 percent for the
second period and $407 million or 4.2 percent year to date.
Commercial mortgages were higher by $490 million or 12 percent for
the quarter and $486 million or 12.1 percent for the first half,
while construction loans grew $397 million or 52.7 percent and
$370 million or 51.2 percent, respectively. At June 30, 1997,
commercial real estate loans, based on regulatory definitions,
were $5.849 billion or 17.6 percent of total loans compared with
$4.939 billion or 16.1 percent one year earlier and $5.550 billion
or 17 percent at March 31, 1997. Regulatory definitions for
commercial real estate loans include loans which have real estate
as the collateral but not the primary consideration in a credit
risk evaluation. Lease financing receivables consist largely of
corporate leases and other structured tax-advantaged transactions
as well as some consumer automobile leasing. Growth in lease
financing, both year over year and from the first quarter,
reflected gains in corporate leases and other structured
tax-advantaged transactions as automobile leasing declined.
Consumer loans, including residential mortgages, increased
$886 million or 7.3 percent for the three months and $1.039
billion or 8.7 percent year to date. Substantially all the growth
occurred in credit cards and residential mortgages, offsetting
softness in indirect retail loans which consist primarily of
automobile sales financing. Credit card loans rose $732 million or
18.1 percent for the quarter and $784 million or 19.6 percent for
the first half. Residential mortgages were higher by $365 million
or 8.4 percent for the second period and $398 million or 9.3
percent year to date, reflecting increases principally in bank
equity loans and adjustable rate mortgages. At June 30, 1997,
managed credit card outstandings, which include securitized loans,
totaled $5.404 billion versus $4.805 billion one year earlier and
$5.428 billion at March 31, 1997. Managed credit cards at June 30,
1997 included $586 million of net securitized loans.

Investment securities, the second largest category of
interest-earning assets, were lower by $475 million or 5.5 percent
for the quarter and $473 million or 5.4 percent for the first six
months. Decreases in both periods resulted from continued good
loan demand and ongoing balance sheet management planning.
Held-to-maturity securities declined $201 million or 13.4 percent
for the three months and $219 million or 14.2 percent year to
date, while available-for-sale securities were lower by $274
million or 3.8 percent and $254 million or 3.5 percent,
respectively. Investment securities were down $134 million or 1.6
percent from the first three months of 1997, reflecting modest
decreases in both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale
portfolios. At June 30, 1997, securities available-for-sale
totaled $6.983 billion and securities held-to-maturity were $1.271
billion as presented in the following table.

==========
Securities held-to-maturity had a market value of $1.333
billion at June 30, 1997, representing a $62 million appreciation
over book value. Securities available-for-sale marked to fair
market value had an unrealized gain of $57.242 million, pretax,
and $35.715 million, net of tax, on the same date. Average
securities available-for-sale had an unrealized gain of $27.505
million, pretax, and $17.239 million, net of tax, for the second
quarter. For the first six months, average securities
available-for-sale had an unrealized gain of $43.984 million,
pretax, and $27.239 million, net of tax.
Interest expense was up $26.887 million or 6.5 percent for the
quarter and $31.514 million or 3.8 percent year to date. Increases
were driven primarily by expanded levels of interest-bearing
liabilities to support loan growth with a higher average rate paid
also contributing to the rise, principally for the second quarter.
Interest-bearing liabilities rose $1.354 billion or 3.9 percent
for the three months and $1.269 billion or 3.7 percent for the
first six months, with time deposits accounting for all the growth
in both periods. The average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities increased 11 basis points for the quarter but was up
only 2 basis points year to date. Interest expense rose $20.404
million or
9
4.9 percent from the first quarter due to a greater volume of
interest-bearing liabilities and a higher average rate paid.
The corporation is issuing a variety of debt instruments to
further broaden its funding base while continuing innovative
marketing for traditional funding sources. This includes a global
bank note program, the issuance of senior debt and trust capital
securities, and greater reliance on money market instruments, such
as the corporation's Premiere account. Management believes that
continued flexibility and innovation will be required by financial
institutions to attract future funding through deposit products
and alternative sources.
Time deposits grew $2.306 billion or 11.3 percent for the
quarter and $1.839 billion or 9 percent for the first half. The
mix of time deposits to total interest-bearing liabilities
increased to 62.8 percent for the second period from 58.6 percent
a year earlier and was 62.6 percent for the first six months
versus 59.5 percent in the same period of 1996. Savings and money
market savings, foreign time deposits and large denomination
certificates paced the gains in both periods. Growth in savings
and money market savings, up $1.127 billion or 15 percent for the
three months and $1.119 billion or 15.1 percent year to date, was
driven principally by the corporation's Premiere account, a
federally insured savings account for individuals and businesses
offering interest rates competitive with money market rates.
Compared with the first three months of 1997, time deposits
increased $607 million or 2.8 percent led by foreign time deposits
and savings and money market savings.
Short-term borrowings declined $273 million or 3.3 percent for
the quarter and $441 million or 5.4 percent for the first half.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase
agreements were down $979 million or 15.1 percent for the three
months and $550 million or 8.9 percent year to date, accounting
for substantially all the decreases in both periods. Commercial
paper borrowings expanded for both the quarter and first six
months, while other short-term borrowings, consisting primarily of
short-term bank notes, increased $528 million or 44.2 percent for
the three months but were modestly lower year to date. Short-term
borrowings were up $499 million or 6.7 percent from the first
quarter, reflecting growth principally in other short-term
borrowings.

Long-term debt decreased $679 million or 11.1 percent for
the second period and $129 million or 2.2 percent year to date.
Compared with the first three months of 1997, long-term debt was
lower by $460 million or 7.8 percent. Declines both from
year-earlier periods and from the preceding quarter reflected
reductions in medium-term bank notes offset partially by increases
in other long-term debt. At June 30, 1997, other long-term debt
included $250 million of 30-year subordinated debt with a 10-year
put option issued in the fourth quarter of 1995; $200 million of
10-year senior debt fixed rate notes issued in November 1996; and
a total of $900 million of trust capital securities issued in
December 1996, January 1997 and June 1997. The January issuance of
trust capital securities was made by Wachovia Capital Trust II
(WCT II), a consolidated subsidiary, for $300 million of floating
rate capital securities due in 2027. WCT II invested the proceeds
of the capital securities, together with $9.280 million paid by
the corporation for WCT II's common securities, in $305.692
million, net of discount of $3.588 million, of the corporation's
floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures.
WCT II's sole asset is the junior subordinated deferrable interest
debentures which mature in 2027. The corporation has fully and
unconditionally guaranteed all of WCT II's obligations under the
capital securities. The June issuance was for $300 million of
fixed-rate capital securities made by Wachovia Capital Trust V, a
consolidated subsidiary, and are due in 2027. All of the capital
securities are rated Aa3 by Moody's and A+ by Standard & Poor's
and qualify for inclusion in Tier I capital under risk-based
capital guidelines.
Wachovia Bank has an ongoing $16 billion global bank note
program consisting of short-term issues of 7 days to one year and
medium-term issues of greater than one year. At June 30, 1997,
short-term bank notes totaled $1.227 billion and had an average
cost of 5.65 percent and an average maturity of 2 months versus
$698 million in outstandings with an average cost of 5.32 percent
and an average maturity of 10 days one year earlier. Medium-term
bank notes were $3.014 billion with an average cost of 6.11
percent and an average maturity of 3.3 years on the same date
compared with $4.963 billion, 5.62 percent and 1.2 years,
respectively, at the end of the second quarter of 1996. Included
in medium-term bank notes at June 30, 1997 were $500 million of
five-year floating rate notes issued in May 1996; $100 million of
two-year fixed-rate notes issued in August 1996; $250 million of
12-year fixed-rate notes issued in October 1996; and $350 million
of five-year floating rate notes issued in May 1997. All of the
medium-term bank notes were issued in Europe and are rated Aa2 by
Moody's and AA+ by Standard & Poor's.
Gross deposits averaged $28.272 billion for the quarter, up
$2.511 billion or 9.7 percent from a year earlier, and were
$27.914 billion for the first half, an increase of $2.015 billion
or 7.8 percent from the same six months in 1996. Collected
deposits, net of float, averaged $26.395 billion for the three
months and $26.037 billion year to date, higher by $2.442 billion
or 10.2 percent and $1.962 billion or 8.1 percent, respectively,
from the same periods in 1996.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT, INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY
MANAGEMENT
The corporation uses a number of tools to measure interest
rate risk, including simulating
net interest income under various rate scenarios, monitoring the
change in present value of the asset
and liability portfolios under the same rate scenarios and
monitoring the difference or gap between rate sensitive assets and
liabilities over various time periods. Management believes that
rate risk is
best measured by simulation modeling which calculates expected net
interest income based on projected interest-earning assets,
interest-bearing liabilities, off-balance sheet financial
instruments
and interest rates.
The corporation monitors exposure to a gradual change in
rates of 200 basis points up or down over a rolling 12-month
period and an interest rate shock of an instantaneous change in
rates of 200 basis points up or down over the same period. From
time to time, the model horizon is expanded to a 24-month period.
The corporation policy limit for the maximum negative impact on
net interest income from a gradual change in interest rates of 200
basis points over 12 months is 7.5 percent. Management generally
has maintained a risk position well within the policy guideline
level. As of June 30, 1997, the model indicated the impact of a
200 basis point gradual rise in rates over 12 months would
approximate a .7 percent decrease in net interest income, while a
200 basis point decline in rates over the same period would
approximate a .6 percent increase from an unchanged rate
environment.
In addition to on-balance sheet instruments such as
investment securities and purchased funds, the corporation uses
off-balance sheet derivative instruments to manage interest rate
risk, liquidity and net interest income. Off-balance sheet
instruments include interest rate swaps, futures and options with
indices that directly correlate to on-balance sheet instruments.
The corporation has used off-balance sheet financial instruments,
principally interest rate swaps, over a number of years and
believes their use on a sound basis enhances the effectiveness of
asset and liability and interest rate sensitivity management.
Off-balance sheet asset and liability derivative
transactions are based on referenced or notional amounts. At June
30, 1997, the corporation had $2.957 billion notional amount of
derivatives outstanding for asset and liability management
purposes. Credit risk of off-balance sheet derivative financial
instruments is equal to the fair value gain of the instrument if a
counterparty fails to perform. The credit risk is normally a small
percentage of the notional amount and fluctuates as interest rates
move up or down. The corporation mitigates this risk by subjecting
the transactions to the same rigorous approval and monitoring
process as is used for on-balance sheet credit transactions, by
dealing in the national market with highly rated counterparties,
by executing transactions under International Swaps and
Derivatives Association Master Agreements and by using collateral
instruments to reduce exposure where appropriate. Collateral is
delivered by either party when the fair value of a particular
transaction or group of transactions with the same counterparty on
a net basis exceeds an acceptable threshold of exposure. The
threshold level is determined based on the strength of the
individual counterparty.
The fair value of all asset and liability derivative
positions for which the corporation was exposed to counterparties
totaled $27 million at June 30, 1997. The fair value of all asset
and liability derivative positions for which counterparties were
exposed to the corporation amounted to $13 million on the same
date. Fair value details and additional asset and liability
derivative information are included in the following tables.

Asset and liability transactions are accounted for following
hedge accounting rules. Accordingly, gains and losses related to
the fair value of derivative contracts used for asset and
liability management purposes are not immediately recognized in
earnings. If the hedged or altered balance sheet amounts were
marked to market, the resulting unrealized balance sheet gains or
losses could be expected to approximately offset unrealized
derivatives gains and losses.
To ensure the corporation is positioned to meet immediate and
future cash demands, management relies on liquidity analysis,
knowledge of business trends over past economic cycles and
forecasts of future conditions. Liquidity is maintained through a
strong balance sheet and operating performance that assures market
acceptance as well as through policy guidelines which limit the
level, maturity and concentration of noncore funding sources.
Through its balance sheet, the corporation generates liquidity
on the asset side by maintaining significant amounts of
available-for-sale investment securities, which may by sold at any
time, and by loans which may be securitized or sold. Additionally,
the corporation generates cash through deposit growth, the
issuance of bank notes, the availability of unused lines of credit
and through other forms of debt and equity instruments.
Through policy guidelines, the corporation limits net
purchased funds to 50 percent of long-term assets, which include
net loans and leases, investment securities with remaining
maturities over one year and net foreclosed real estate. Policy
guidelines insure against concentrations by maturity of noncore
funding sources by limiting the cumulative percentage of purchased
funds that mature overnight, within 30 days and within 90 days.
Guidelines also require the monitoring of significant
concentrations of funds by single sources and by type of borrowing
category.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 1997 were $68.831 million or
.21 percent of period-end loans and foreclosed property. The total
decreased $3.814 million or 5.3 percent from one year earlier and
was down $4.600 million or 6.3 percent from March 31, 1997,
reflecting lower levels both of cash-basis assets and foreclosed
property.
Real estate nonperforming assets, the largest category of
total nonperforming assets, were $53.007 million or .50 percent of
real estate loans and foreclosed real estate at June 30, 1997.
Comparable amounts one year earlier and at March 31, 1997 were
$57.897 million or .62 percent and $55.966 million or .55 percent,
respectively. Real estate nonperforming loans were $43.009 million
at June 30, 1997, $45.391 million one year earlier and $45.752
million at the end of the first quarter.
Commercial real estate nonperforming assets were $26.627
million or .46 percent of related loans and foreclosed real estate
versus $34.498 million or .70 percent at June 30, 1996 and $29.766
million or .54 percent at March 31, 1997. Included in these totals
were commercial real estate nonperforming loans of $23.632 million
at June 30, 1997, $27.392 million one year earlier and $26.525
million at first quarter close.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses was $49.715 million for the
second quarter and $97.713 million for the first half, modestly
exceeding net loan losses and higher by $15.311 million or 44.5
percent and $35.975 million or 58.3 percent, respectively, from
year-earlier periods. Compared with the first three months of
1997, the provision was up $1.717 million or 3.6 percent. The
provision reflects management's assessment of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses to absorb potential write-offs in the
loan portfolio due to a deterioration in credit conditions or
change in risk profile. Factors considered in this assessment
include growth and mix of the loan portfolio, current and
anticipated economic conditions, historical credit loss experience
and changes in borrowers' financial positions. The adequacy of the
allowance also is assessed by management based on the
corporation's practice to aggressively recognize problem credits
and generally match charge-offs through the provision.
17
Net loan losses for the second period were $49.692 million or
.62 percent annualized of average loans, up $15.365 million or
44.8 percent from $34.327 million or .46 percent of average loans
a year earlier. For the first six months, net loan losses totaled
$97.675 million or .61 percent annualized of average loans, a rise
of $36.134 million or 58.7 percent from $61.541 million or .42
percent of loans in the same period of 1996. Compared with the
first quarter, net loan losses were up $1.709 million or 3.6
percent. Increases in net charge-offs both from year-earlier
periods and from the preceding three

months reflected higher losses in consumer loans, principally
credit cards, and lower recoveries, primarily in real estate
loans. Excluding credit cards, net loan losses were $6.305 million
or .09 percent of average loans for the quarter and $14.206
million or .10 percent year to date versus $2.583 million or .04
percent and $1.919 million or .01 percent in the same respective

Credit card net charge-offs for the quarter were $43.387
million or 3.63 percent annualized of average credit card loans, a
rise of $11.643 million or 36.7 percent from $31.744 million or
3.14 percent of average receivables a year earlier. For the first
six months, credit card net loan losses totaled $83.469 million or
3.49 percent of receivables, up $23.847 million or 40 percent from
$59.622 million or 2.98 percent of loans in the same period of
1996. Other retail net charge-offs, associated with direct and
indirect retail loans, increased $1.184 million or 32 percent for

At June 30, 1997, the allowance for loan losses was $409.335
million, representing 1.23 percent of period-end loans and 746
percent of nonperforming loans. This compared with $409.205
million, 1.33 percent and 741 percent, respectively, one year
earlier and with $409.312 million, 1.26 percent and 707 percent,
respectively, at March 31, 1997.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Total other operating revenue, which excludes investment
securities sales, grew $34.310 million or 17.3 percent for the
second quarter from a year earlier and was up $51.870 million or
13.6 percent year to date. Increases in both periods were broad
based, with all categories advancing except mortgage fee income.
Included in total other operating revenue for the quarter was a
gain of approximately $18 million from the sale of branch offices
identified during 1996 from the corporation's Market Network
Strategy. Total other operating revenue for the previous year's
quarter included a gain of $9.575 million from the sale of the
corporation's bond trustee business. Excluding both these gains,
total other operating revenue rose $25.226 million or 13.3 percent
for the second quarter versus a year earlier and $42.786 million
or 11.5 percent year to date and was higher by $12.581 million or
6.2 percent from the first three months of 1997.
Credit card income advanced $8.804 million or 26 percent for
the quarter and $11.976 million or 18 percent for the first half.
Growth primarily reflected higher net revenues received from
cardholder income on securitized loans, greater overlimit charges
and increased interchange income. Results for both periods were
impacted favorably by upward pricing in the corporation's managed
credit card portfolio following the rise in March of short-term
interest rates.
19
Trust fees grew $4.364 million or 12.6 percent for the three
months and $6.373 million or 9.3 percent for the first six months.
Gains in both periods were fueled by increased sales, greater
market values for trust assets and higher fee schedules, with
advances occurring in personal trust services, asset management
and the corporation's proprietary Wachovia mutual funds.
Deposit account service charge revenues were up $2.694
million or 4.4 percent and $10.038
million or 8.5 percent for the quarter and first half,
respectively. Increases in commercial account analy-
sis fees, insufficient fund charges and overdraft fees primarily
accounted for the rise in both periods.
Electronic banking revenues, consisting of fees from debit
card and ATM usage, were higher by $602 thousand or 4.8 percent
for the second period and $3.772 million or 17.2 percent year to
date. Increases reflected growth in debit card interchange income
as well as the assessment of ATM foreign access fees which were
implemented throughout Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina
effective with the second quarter of 1996.
Trading account profits rose $471 thousand or 8.3 percent
for the three months and $1.299 million or 14.2 percent for the
first six months. Improved bond market conditions from
year-earlier periods accounted for the increases. Trading account
profits consist of profit and losses on securities in the
corporation's trading account portfolio, income earned on foreign
exchange transactions and income from derivatives valuation.
Investment fee income was up modestly for the quarter and
first half, expanding $245 thousand or 2.3 percent and $836
thousand or 4 percent, respectively. Increases occurred in
variable rate demand bond placements and in public finance fees,
but were largely offset by slower mutual fund sales in the first
part of the second quarter and by reduced loan syndication
activity.
Mortgage fee income remained largely flat for the second
period but was lower by $907 thousand or 10.4 percent year to
date. Improved pricing on the corporation's mortgage loan products
helped moderate the impact of reduced loan volume from
year-earlier periods.
Remaining combined categories of total other operating
revenue increased $17.121 million or 47.7 percent for the quarter
and $18.483 million or 26.7 percent year to date. Insurance
premiums and commissions were up $2.566 million or 63.6 percent
for the three months and $4.410 million or 56.7 percent for the
first six months, while bankers' acceptance and letter of credit
fees expanded

$1.906 million or 31.2 percent for the second period and $3.179

fees remained largely unchanged for both the quarter and first
half. Other income rose $12.477 million or 70.2 percent for the
three months and $10.810 million or 33 percent for the first six
months and included the gain on the sale of branch offices.
Including investment securities sales, total noninterest
income was up $34.855 million or 17.6 percent for the second
quarter and $52.052 million or 13.6 percent year to date.
Investment securities sales resulted in net gains of $326 thousand
for the second quarter of 1997 versus net losses of $219 thousand
a year earlier. For the first six months, investment securities
sales had net gains of $661 thousand in 1997 compared with $479
thousand in 1996.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Total noninterest expense rose $44.607 million or 14.4
percent for the second quarter and $60.498 million or 9.8 percent
for the first half. Increases were driven by a higher salary base
and project costs for growth initiatives as well as approximately
$16 million in expenditures associated with Year 2000 computer
system conversions, which were incurred in the second quarter.
Excluding Year 2000 compliance costs, total noninterest expense
was up approximately $29 million or 9 percent for the second
period and $44 million or 7 percent year to date and was higher by
approximately $15 million or 4 percent from the preceding quarter.
The corporation's overhead ratio measuring noninterest expense as
a percentage of total adjusted revenues (taxable equivalent net
interest income and total other operating revenue) was 53.7
percent for the second quarter and 53 percent for the first half
of 1997.
Total personnel expense grew $21.488 million or 13.4 percent
for the three months and $33.974 million or 10.6 percent for the
first six months. Salaries expense rose $16.722 million or 12.6
percent and $27.157 million or 10.3 percent for the quarter and
first half, respectively. Increases were driven by higher core
salaries and by greater incentive pay, reflecting shifts in the
corporation's workforce composition toward higher skilled and more
revenue generating personnel. Employee benefits expense was up
$4.766 million or 17.2 percent for the second period and $6.817
million or 11.9 percent year to date due to increases in flexible
benefits costs and payroll taxes generated by a larger personnel
base. At June 30, 1997, full-time equivalent employees totaled
16,577 versus 16,150 one year earlier.
Combined net occupancy and equipment expense was up modestly
for the quarter and first half,
rising $1.671 million or 3.3 percent and $1.128 million or 1.1
percent, respectively. Increased equip-
ment expense, associated primarily with higher depreciation and
externally maintained equipment
costs, was largely offset by lower net occupancy expense for
building maintenance and renovation.
Remaining combined categories of noninterest expense rose
$21.448 million or 21.5 percent for
the second period and $25.396 million or 13 percent year to date
and included the $16 million in
expenses associated with Year 2000 conversion issues. The majority
of Year 2000 compliance costs to
date are for contract programming expenses. These costs are
reflected in outside data processing, pro-
gramming and software expense, which grew $13.968 million or 124.9
percent for the three months
and $16.154 million or 73.8 percent for the first six months. Costs
for consulting assistance with
Year 2000 compliance are included in professional services expense,
which increased $2.952 million
or 27.5 percent for the quarter but was up a more moderate $1.799
million or 8.8 percent year to date.
Management continues to anticipate spending a total of $40 million
to $50 million for issues related
to Year 2000 compliance. During the quarter, the corporation moved
forward with its brand name
advertising campaign launched in April. Advertising expense for the
quarter was up $3.345 million
or 21.6 percent from the previous year's period but remained
essentially unchanged year to date.

INCOME TAXES
Applicable income taxes increased $1.168 million or 1.5
percent for the quarter and $3.652 million or 2.5 percent for the
first half of 1997. Income taxes computed at the statutory rate
are reduced primarily by the interest earned on state and
municipal loans and debt securities. Also, within certain
limitations, one-half of the interest income earned on qualifying
employee stock ownership plan loans is exempt from federal taxes.
The interest earned on state and municipal debt instruments is
exempt from federal taxes and, except for out-of-state issues,
from Georgia and North Carolina taxes as well. The tax-exempt
nature of these assets provide both an attractive return for the
corporation and substantial interest savings for local governments
and their constituents.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" (FASB 125), which provides new
accounting and reporting standards for sales, securitizations, and
servicing of receivables and other financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities. FASB 125 is effective for
transactions occurring after December 31, 1996, except for the
provisions relating to repurchase agreements, securities lending
and other similar transactions and pledged collateral, which have
been delayed until after December 31, 1997 by FASB 127, "Deferral
of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No.
125, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 125." Adoption of FASB 125
was not material; FASB 127 will be adopted as required in 1998 and
is not expected to be material.
In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (FASB 128), was issued and
establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share. FASB 128 is effective for the corporation's December
31, 1997 financial statements, including restatement of interim
periods; earlier application is not permitted. The effect of the
new standard will not be material.
In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FASB 130), was issued
and establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components. FASB 130 requires
comprehensive income and its components, as recognized under the
accounting standards, to be displayed in a financial statement
with the same prominence as other financial statements. The
corporation plans to adopt the standard, as required, beginning in
1998; adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the
corporation.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (FASB 131), also issued in June 1997, establishes new
standards for reporting information about operating segments in
annual and interim financial statements. The standard also
requires descriptive information about the way the operating
segments are determined, the products and services provided by the
segments and the nature of differences between reportable segment
measurements and those used for the consolidated enterprise. This
standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Adoption in interim financial statements is not required until the
year after initial adoption, however comparative prior period
information is required. The corporation is evaluating the
standard and plans adoption as required in 1998; adoption is not
expected to have a significant financial impact on the
corporation.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RATIOS
Assets at June 30, 1997 totaled $48.512 billion, including
$42.610 billion of interest-earning assets and $33.256 billion of
loans. Comparable amounts one year earlier were $46.049 billion of
assets, $41.140 billion of interest-earning assets and $30.673
billion of loans. At March 31, 1997, total assets were $47.491
billion, with $42.260 billion of interest-earning assets and
$32.570 billion of loans.
Deposits at the end of the second quarter were $28.938
billion, including $21.942 billion of time deposits, representing
75.8 percent of the total. Deposits one year earlier were $25.973
billion, with time deposits of $20.515 billion or 79 percent of
the total, and at March 31, 1997, deposits were $28.832 billion,
including $22.340 billion of time deposits or 77.5 percent of the
total.
Shareholders' equity was $3.680 billion at June 30, 1997
compared with $3.700 billion one year earlier. Included in the
$3.680 billion of shareholders' equity was $35.715 million, net of
tax, of unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale marked
to fair value compared with $24.066 million one year earlier. The
reduction in equity at June 30, 1997 from a year earlier reflected
the impact of the corporation's share repurchase activity at
higher share prices. During the second quarter of 1997, the
corporation repurchased a total of 2,216,600 shares of its common
stock at an average price of $60.124 per share for a total cost of
$133.271 million compared with 2,577,400 shares repurchased in the
same period of 1996 at an average price of $43.521 per share for a
cost of $112.172 million. The corporation's share repurchase
authorization was rescinded by the board of directors effective
with announcement on June 24, 1997 of the corporation's merger
agreement with Central Fidelity Banks. At its meeting on July 25,
1997, the board of directors declared a third quarter dividend of
$.44 per
23
common share, payable September 2, 1997 to shareholders of record
as of August 6. The dividend is higher by 10 percent from $.40 per
share paid in the same three months of 1996. For the year to date,
the dividend will total $1.24 per share, an increase of 10.7
percent from $1.12 paid in 1996.
Intangible assets totaled $43.729 million at June 30, 1997,
consisting of $38.133 million in goodwill, $4.749 million in
deposit base intangibles, $207 thousand in purchased credit card
intangibles and $640 thousand in other intangibles. Comparable
amounts one year earlier were $41.546 million of total intangible
assets, with $33.312 million in goodwill, $6.186 million in
deposit base intangibles, $990 thousand in purchased credit card
intangibles and $1.058 million in other intangible assets. The
increase in goodwill from a year earlier reflected the
corporation's purchase in June of MACRO*WORLD Research
Corporation, a leading Internet provider of financial information,
news and stock and mutual fund ratings.
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 market
appreciation or depreciation of securities available-for-sale
arising from marking the securities portfolio to market value. 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 which meet or exceed a
Tier I ratio of 6 percent, a total capital ratio of 10 per-
cent and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered
well-capitalized by regulatory standards.
At June 30, 1997, the corporation's Tier I to risk-adjusted
assets ratio was 10.13 percent and total capital to risk-adjusted
assets was 13.61 percent. The Tier I leverage ratio was 9.67
percent. The capital ratios at the end of the second quarter of
1997 included a total of $900 million of trust capital securities.
