Item 5. Other Events

      The purpose of this amendment to BB&T Corporation's ("BB&T") Current
Report on Form 8-K, originally filed August 27, 1998, is to include analyst
presentation materials related to BB&T's proposed merger with MainStreet
Financial Corporation ("MainStreet"). These materials are attached as Exhibit
99.1 to this amendment.

Forward-Looking Statements

      BB&T has made forward-looking statements in the accompanying analyst
presentation materials that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These
statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of BB&T,
and on the information available to management at the time the analyst
presentation materials were prepared. In particular, the analyst materials and
this report include statements regarding estimated earnings per share of BB&T on
a stand alone basis, expected cost savings from the merger, estimated
restructuring charges relating to the merger, estimated increases in
MainStreet's fee income ratio and net interest margin, the anticipated accretive
effect of the merger, and BB&T's anticipated performance in future periods. With
respect to estimated cost savings and restructuring charges, BB&T has made
assumptions about, among other things, the extent of operational overlap between
BB&T and MainStreet, the amount of general and administrative expense
consolidation, costs relating to converting MainStreet bank operations and data
processing to BB&T's systems, the size of anticipated reductions in fixed labor
costs, the amount of severance expenses, the extent of the charges that may be
necessary to align the companies' respective accounting reserve policies, and
the cost related to the merger. The realization of cost savings and the amount
of restructuring charges are subject to the risk that the foregoing assumptions
are inaccurate.

      Any statements in the accompanying exhibit regarding the anticipated
accretive effect of the merger and BB&T's anticipated performance in future
periods are subject to risks relating to, among other things, the following
possibilities: (1) expected cost savings from this merger or other
previously-announced mergers may not be fully realized or realized within the
expected time frame; (2) deposit attrition, customer loss or revenue loss
following proposed mergers may be greater than expected; (3) competitive
pressure among depository and other financial institutions may increase
significantly; (4) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the
businesses of BB&T and its merger partners, including MainStreet, may be greater
than expected; (5) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins;
(6) general economic or business conditions, either nationally or regionally,
may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a
deterioration in credit quality, or a reduced demand for credit; (7) legislative
or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely
affect the businesses in which BB&T and MainStreet are engaged; (8) adverse
changes may occur in the securities markets; and (9) competitors of BB&T and
MainStreet may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable
such competitors to compete more successfully than BB&T and MainStreet.

      BB&T believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however,
undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which
are based on current expectations. Such statements are not guarantees of
performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The future
results and shareholder values of BB&T following completion of the merger may



differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many
of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond
management's ability to control or predict.

Description of Exhibit

      In connection with BB&T's consideration of the merger, management of BB&T
analyzed certain investment criteria designed to assess the impact of the merger
on BB&T and its shareholders. For purposes of this analysis, the results of
which are contained in the accompanying exhibit, BB&T made the following
assumptions:

      *  BB&T's 1998 and 1999 earnings per share on a stand alone basis would be
         in line with the mean estimates published by First Call Corporation,

      *  BB&T's earnings per share on a stand alone basis for periods after 1999
         would increase at an assumed annual rate, determined solely for the
         purpose of assessing the impact of the merger as described above, of
         approximately 9%,

      *  MainStreet's 1998 earnings on a stand alone basis would be in line with
         the mean estimates of earnings per share published by First Call 
         Corporation,

      *  MainStreet's earnings on a stand alone basis for periods after 1998
         would increase at an assumed rate, determined solely for the purpose
         of assessing the impact of the merger as described above, of 
         approximately 9% before applying the effect of the assumptions 
         described below,

      *  annual cost savings of approximately $15 million, or 30% of 
         MainStreet's expense base, would be realized as a result of the merger,

      *  MainStreet's fee income ratio would ratably increase from 18.9% to 23%
         of total revenue by the fifth year after the merger, and
 
      *  MainStreet's net interest margin would ratably increase from 3.61% to
         4.00% of average earning assets by the third year after the merger.

Using the above assumptions, BB&T analyzed the merger to determine whether it 
would have an accretive or dilutive effect on estimated earnings per share,
return on equity, return on assets and book value per share. This analysis
indicated that the merger would be accretive to estimated earnings per share,
return on assets and book value in the first year and accretive to return on
equity by the third year.

In addition to the analysis described above, BB&T performed an internal rate of
return analysis for this transaction, the results of which are contained in the
accompanying exhibit. The purpose of this analysis was to determine if the
projected performance of MainStreet, after applying the assumptions described
above, would conform to BB&T's criteria. BB&T's current minimum internal rate of
return requirement for this type of investment is 15%. The analysis performed in
conjunction with the MainStreet merger indicated that the projected internal
rate of return is 16.02%.

be fully realized; (2) deposit attrition, customer loss or revenue loss
following proposed mergers are greater than expected; (3) competitive pressure

related to the integration of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners are

                            Rationale for Acquisition

[ ]BB&T has an announced strategy to pursue in-market
   (Carolinas/Virginia/Maryland/Metro DC) and contiguous state acquisitions of
   high quality banks and thrifts in the $250 million to $10 billion range. The
   acquisition of MainStreet is consistent with this strategy.

[ ]This acquisition is very consistent with past acquisitions which we have
   successfully executed, i.e. it fits our model.

[ ]BB&T and MainStreet share similar cultures.

[ ]MainStreet's headquarters in Martinsville, Va. is only 60 miles from
   BB&T's headquarters in Winston-Salem, NC.

[ ]MainStreet has built insurance, trust, and brokerage relationships with
   their customer base which can be supported through BB&T's subsidiaries.
