MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

   The management of BB&T is responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements, related financial data and other information in this Current Report
on Form 8-K. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and include amounts based on management's
estimates and judgment where appropriate. Financial information appearing
throughout this Current Report on Form 8-K is consistent with the financial
statements.

   BB&T's accounting system, which records, summarizes and reports financial
transactions, is supported by an internal control structure which provides
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are
recorded in accordance with BB&T's policies and established accounting
procedures. As an integral part of the internal control structure, BB&T
maintains a professional staff of internal auditors who monitor compliance with
and assess the effectiveness of the internal control structure.

   The Audit Committee of BB&T's Board of Directors, composed solely of outside
directors, meets regularly with BB&T's management, internal auditors and
independent public accountants to review matters relating to financial
reporting, internal control structure and the nature, extent and results of the
audit effort. The independent public accountants and the internal auditors have
access to the Audit Committee with or without management present.

   The financial statements have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP,
independent public accountants, who render an independent opinion on
management's financial statements. Their appointment was recommended by the
Audit Committee, approved by the Board of Directors and ratified by the
shareholders. Their examination provides an objective assessment of the degree
to which BB&T's management meets its responsibility for financial reporting.
Their opinion on the financial statements is based on auditing procedures,
which include reviewing the internal control structure to determine the timing
and scope of audit procedures and performing selected tests of transactions and
records as they deem appropriate. These auditing procedures are designed to
provide a reasonable level of assurance that the financial statements are
fairly presented in all material respects.

                       BB&T CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              For the Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

   BB&T Corporation ("BB&T" or "Parent Company") is a financial holding company
organized under the laws of North Carolina. Branch Banking and Trust Company
("BB&T-NC"); Branch Banking and Trust Company of South Carolina ("BB&T-SC");
Branch Banking and Trust Company of Virginia ("BB&T-VA"), (collectively, the
"Banks"), Regional Acceptance Corporation ("Regional Acceptance"), and Scott &
Stringfellow, Inc., ("Scott & Stringfellow") comprise BB&T's principal direct
subsidiaries.

   BB&T is also the parent company of 14 subsidiary banks acquired through the
mergers with FirstSpartan Financial Corp, Century South Banks, Inc., and
Virginia Capital Bancshares, Inc. These banks are expected to be merged with
and into BB&T-NC, BB&T-SC or BB&T-VA, as appropriate, during 2001. References
to the "Banks" herein include these subsidiary banks.

   The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T Corporation and its
subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry.
The following is a summary of the more significant policies.

Note A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Principles of Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T
Corporation and its subsidiaries. In consolidation, all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Prior period
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts of companies
acquired in business combinations accounted for as poolings of interests. The
results of operations of companies acquired in transactions accounted for as
purchases are included only from the dates of acquisition. (See Note B. in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

   In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years' consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to statement
presentations selected for 2000. Such reclassifications had no effect on
previously reported shareholders' equity or net income.

 Nature of Operations

   BB&T is a financial holding company headquartered in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. BB&T conducts its operations primarily in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Washington, D.C. and Alabama through its commercial banking subsidiaries and,
to a lesser extent, through its other subsidiaries. BB&T's principal banking
subsidiaries, BB&T-NC, BB&T-SC and BB&T-VA, provide a wide range of traditional
banking services to individuals and businesses. BB&T's loans are primarily to
individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses
located in this geographic area. Subsidiaries of BB&T's commercial banking
units offer lease financing to businesses and municipal governments, investment
services, including discount brokerage services and a variety of annuities and
mutual funds, life insurance, property and casualty insurance on an agency
basis, insurance premium financing, loan servicing for financial institutions,
asset and portfolio management. The direct nonbank subsidiaries of BB&T provide
a variety of financial services including automobile lending, equipment
financing, factoring, full-service securities brokerage, investment banking and
municipal and corporate finance services.

 Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of

                                       11


                       BB&T CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the
allowance for loan and lease losses and deferred tax assets or liabilities.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing
bank balances, Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale
agreements or similar arrangements. Generally, both cash and cash equivalents
are considered to have maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, the
carrying amount of such instruments is considered a reasonable estimate of fair
value.

 Securities

   BB&T classifies investment securities as held to maturity, available for
sale or trading. Debt securities acquired with both the intent and ability to
be held to maturity are classified as held to maturity and reported at
amortized cost. Gains or losses realized from the sale of securities held to
maturity, if any, are determined by specific identification and are included in
noninterest income.

   Debt securities, which may be sold to meet liquidity needs arising from
unanticipated deposit and loan fluctuations, changes in regulatory capital
requirements, or unforeseen changes in market conditions, are classified as
available for sale. In addition, all investments in equity securities are
classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are reported at
estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate
component of shareholders' equity, net of deferred income taxes. Gains or
losses realized from the sale of securities available for sale are determined
by specific identification and are included in noninterest income.

   Trading account securities are primarily held by Scott & Stringfellow,
BB&T's investment banking and full-service brokerage subsidiary. Trading
account securities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair
value. Market adjustments, fees, and gains or losses earned on trading account
securities are included in noninterest income. Interest income on trading
account securities is included in other interest income. Gains or losses
realized from the sale of trading securities are determined by specific
identification and are included in noninterest income.

   During 2000, 1999 and 1998, BB&T transferred securities with amortized costs
of $324.7 million, $231.5 million and $114.4 million, respectively, from the
held-to-maturity portfolio to the available-for-sale portfolio. These
securities were previously classified as held-to-maturity by entities that
merged into BB&T under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. BB&T
transferred these amounts pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," to conform the combined investment portfolios to
BB&T's existing policies.

 Loans Held for Sale

   Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value on an
aggregate loan portfolio basis. Gains or losses realized on the sales of loans
are recognized at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between
the net sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loans sold, adjusted for
any servicing asset or liability. Gains and losses on sales of loans are
included in noninterest income.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


 Loans and Leases

   Loans and leases that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future are reported at their outstanding principal balances
adjusted for any deferred fees or costs and unamortized premiums or discounts.
The net amount of nonrefundable loan origination fees, commitment fees and
certain direct costs associated with the lending process are deferred and
amortized to interest income over the contractual lives of the loans using
methods which approximate level-yield. Discounts and premiums are amortized to
interest income over the estimated life of the loans using methods that
approximate level-yield. Commercial loans and substantially all installment
loans accrue interest on the unpaid balance of the loans. Lease receivables
consist primarily of direct financing leases on rolling stock, equipment and
real property, leases to municipalities and investments in leveraged lease
transactions. Lease receivables are stated at the total amount of lease
payments receivable plus guaranteed residual values, less unearned income.
Recognition of income over the lives of the lease contracts approximates the
level-yield method.

   A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that BB&T will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. It is BB&T's policy to classify and
disclose all commercial loans greater than $300,000 that are on nonaccrual
status as impaired loans. Substantially all other loans made by BB&T are
excluded from the definition of impaired loans as they are comprised of large
groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans (residential mortgage and consumer
installment) that are collectively evaluated for impairment. SFAS No. 114
requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a
practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. When the fair value of the
impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment
is recorded through a valuation allowance.

 Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

   The allowance for loan and lease losses is the estimated amount considered
adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the outstanding loan and lease
portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the
provision for loan and lease losses, which is reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.

   The allowance is composed of general reserves, specific reserves and an
unallocated reserve. General reserves for commercial loans are determined by
applying loss percentages to the portfolio based on management's evaluation and
"risk grading" of the commercial loan portfolio. General reserves are provided
for noncommercial loan categories based on a four-year weighted average of
actual loss experience, which is applied to the total outstanding loan balance
of each loan category. Specific reserves are provided on all commercial loans
that are classified in the Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful risk
grades. The specific reserves are determined on a loan-by-loan basis based on
management's evaluation of BB&T's exposure for each credit, given the current
payment status of the loan and the value of any underlying collateral.
Commercial loans for which a specific reserve is provided are excluded from the
calculations of general reserves. The allowance calculation also incorporates
specific reserves based on the results of measuring impaired loans, as
described above.

   The unallocated reserve consists of an amount deemed appropriate to cover
the elements of imprecision and estimation risk inherent in the general and
specific reserves and an amount determined based on management's evaluation of
various conditions that are not directly measured by any other component of the
allowance. This evaluation includes general economic and business conditions
affecting key lending areas, credit quality trends, collateral values, loan
volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, the findings of
internal credit examiners and results from external bank regulatory
examinations.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   While management uses the best information available to establish the
allowance for loan and lease losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be
necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used
in making the valuations or, if required by regulators, based upon information
available to them at the time of their examinations. Such adjustments to
original estimates, as necessary, are made in the period in which these factors
and other relevant considerations indicate that loss levels may vary from
previous estimates.

 Nonperforming Assets

   Nonperforming assets include loans and leases on which interest is not being
accrued and foreclosed property. Foreclosed property consists of real estate
and other assets acquired through customers' loan defaults. Commercial and
unsecured consumer loans and leases are generally placed on nonaccrual status
when concern exists that principal or interest is not fully collectible, or
when any portion of principal or interest becomes 90 days past due, whichever
occurs first. Mortgage loans and most other types of consumer loans past due 90
days or more may remain on accrual status if management determines that concern
over the collectibility of principal and interest is not significant. When
loans are placed on nonaccrual status, interest receivable is reversed against
interest income in the current period. Interest payments received thereafter
are applied as a reduction to the remaining principal balance as long as
concern exists as to the ultimate collection of the principal. Loans and leases
are removed from nonaccrual status when they become current as to both
principal and interest and when concern no longer exists as to the
collectibility of principal or interest.

   Assets acquired as a result of foreclosure are carried at the lower of cost
or fair value less estimated selling costs. Cost is determined based on the sum
of unpaid principal, accrued but unpaid interest and acquisition costs
associated with the loan. Any excess of unpaid principal over fair value at the
time of foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses.
Generally, such properties are appraised annually and the carrying value, if
greater than the fair value, less selling costs, is adjusted with a charge to
noninterest expense. Routine maintenance costs, declines in market value and
net losses on disposal are included in other noninterest expense.

 Premises and Equipment

   Premises, equipment, capital leases and leasehold improvements are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. In addition, purchased
software and costs of computer software developed for internal use is
capitalized provided certain criteria are met. Depreciation is computed
principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the lesser of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the
improvements. Capitalized leases are amortized by the same methods as premises
and equipment over the estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is
less. Obligations under capital leases are amortized using the interest method
to allocate payments between principal reduction and interest expense.

 Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

   Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as
secured short-term borrowed funds, generally mature within one year from the
transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected
at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. BB&T may be
required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the
underlying securities.

 Income Taxes

   The provision for income taxes is based upon income for financial statement
purposes, adjusted for nontaxable income and nondeductible expenses. Deferred
income taxes have been provided when different accounting methods have been
used in determining income for income tax purposes and for financial reporting

                                       14


                       BB&T CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on future
tax consequences attributable to differences arising from the financial
statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. In the
event of changes in the tax laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted in the period of the enactment of those changes, with effects included
in the income tax provision. BB&T and its subsidiaries file a consolidated
Federal income tax return. Each subsidiary pays its proportional share of
Federal income taxes to BB&T based on its taxable income. Institutions acquired
during the current fiscal year file separate Federal income tax returns for the
periods prior to consummation of the acquisitions.

 Derivatives and Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

   BB&T utilizes a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage
various financial risks. These instruments include financial forward and
futures contracts, options written and purchased, interest rate caps and floors
and interest rate swaps. Management accounts for these financial instruments as
hedges when the following conditions are met: (1) the specific assets,
liabilities, firm commitments or anticipated transactions (or an identifiable
group of essentially similar items) to be hedged expose BB&T to interest rate
risk or price risk; (2) the financial instrument reduces that exposure; (3) the
financial instrument is designated as a hedge at inception; and (4) at the
inception of the hedge and throughout the hedge period, there is a high
correlation of changes in the fair value or the net interest income associated
with the financial instrument and the hedged items.

   The net interest payable or receivable on interest rate swaps, caps and
floors that are designated as hedges is accrued and recognized as an adjustment
to the interest income or expense of the related asset or liability. For
interest rate forwards, futures and options qualifying as a hedge, gains and
losses are deferred and are recognized in income as an adjustment of yield.
Gains and losses from early terminations of derivatives are deferred and
amortized as yield adjustments over the shorter of the remaining term of the
hedged asset or liability or the remaining term of the derivative instrument.
Upon disposition or settlement of the asset or liability being hedged, deferral
accounting is discontinued and any gains or losses are recognized in income.
Derivative financial instruments that fail to qualify as a hedge are carried at
fair value with gains and losses recognized in current earnings.

   BB&T utilizes written covered over-the-counter call options on specific
securities in the available-for-sale securities portfolio in order to enhance
returns. Fees received are deferred and recognized in noninterest income upon
exercise or expiration. Written options are carried at estimated fair value.
Unrealized and realized gains and losses on written call options are included
in the Consolidated Statements of Income as securities gains and losses.

   BB&T also utilizes over-the-counter purchased put options and net purchased
put options (combination of purchased put option and written call option) in
its mortgage banking activities. These options are used to hedge the mortgage
loan inventory and applications and mortgage loans in process against
increasing interest rates. Written call options are used in tandem with
purchased put options to create a net purchased put option that reduces the
cost of the hedge. Net unrealized gains and losses on purchased put options and
net purchased put options are included with loans held for sale at the lower of
cost or market on an aggregate basis. Realized gains and losses on purchased
put options and net purchased put options are included in mortgage banking
income.

 Per Share Data

   Basic net income per common share has been computed by dividing net income
applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the years presented. Diluted net income per common
share has been computed by dividing net income, as adjusted for the interest

expense related to convertible debt where applicable, by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other
potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Restricted stock grants are
considered as issued for purposes of calculating net income per share. See Note
R. in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for the calculation of
basic and diluted earnings per share.

   On June 23, 1998, BB&T's Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split
in the Corporation's common stock effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend
paid August 3, 1998. All per share amounts presented herein and the weighted
average shares reflected above have been restated as appropriate to
retroactively reflect the stock split.

 Intangible Assets

   Intangible assets consist of the cost in excess of the fair value of net
assets acquired in transactions accounted for as purchases (goodwill), premiums
paid for acquisitions of core deposits (core deposit intangibles) and other
identifiable intangible assets. Such assets are included in other assets in the
"Consolidated Balance Sheets," and are being amortized on straight-line or
accelerated bases over periods ranging from 5 to 25 years. At December 31,
2000, BB&T had $760.3 million in unamortized goodwill and $16.6 million in
unamortized core deposit and other intangibles. Negative goodwill is created
when the fair value of the net assets purchased exceeds the purchase price.
Such balances are included in other liabilities in the "Consolidated Balance
Sheets" and are being amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 15 years. At
December 31, 2000, BB&T had unamortized negative goodwill totaling $14.3
million.

 Mortgage Servicing Rights

   The carrying value of purchased and internally originated mortgage servicing
rights are included as other assets in the "Consolidated Balance Sheets". The
cost of purchased mortgage servicing rights and the cost allocated to
internally originated mortgage servicing rights are capitalized and amortized
over the estimated lives of the loans to which they relate. BB&T periodically
assesses the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the
fair value of those rights. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by
predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Impairment is
recognized through a valuation allowance established through a charge to
mortgage banking income. At December 31, 2000, BB&T had capitalized mortgage
servicing rights totaling $239.1 million reflected in other assets. Income from
mortgage servicing fees is reflected as mortgage banking income on the
"Consolidated Statements of Income."

 Loan Securitizations

   BB&T periodically transfers mortgage loans from the loan portfolio to
securities available for sale by securitizing the mortgage loans in the
secondary mortgage market. Following the transfers, the securities are reported
at estimated fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains
and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of
deferred income taxes. Since the transfers are not considered a sale, no gain
or loss is recorded in conjunction with the transfers of the loans. BB&T also
securitizes and sells loans to third party investors, while retaining the
mortgage servicing on the loans sold. Gains or losses incurred on the loans
sold are reflected in mortgage banking income.

 Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded as either an asset or liability measured at its fair
value. The Statement requires that changes in the

                                       16


                       BB&T CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to be offset by related results on the
hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally
document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting. In June of 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting
for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which
amends SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 138 addresses a limited number of issues related
to the implementation of SFAS No. 133. The fair value of BB&T's derivative
financial instruments was not reflected on the balance sheet as of December 31,
2000. BB&T adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended, effective
January 1, 2001, as required by the FASB. On that date, BB&T reassessed and
designated derivative instruments used for risk management as fair value
hedges, cash flow hedges and derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting
treatment, as appropriate. On January 1, 2001, BB&T had derivatives with a
notional value of $2.0 billion. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No.
133, BB&T recorded a transition adjustment of $7.9 million, after taxes, to
accumulated other nonshareholder changes in equity on January 1, 2001. There
was no material impact on net income at the date of adoption. Substantially all
of the transition adjustment will be reversed into net income during 2001. The
transition adjustment is based on the interpretive guidance issued thus far by
the FASB. However, the FASB continues to issue guidance that could affect
BB&T's application of the statement and require adjustments to the transition
amount.

   In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which
replaces SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for accounting for
securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and
requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's
provisions without reconsideration. The statements provide accounting and
reporting standards for such transactions based on consistent application of a
financial components approach that focuses on control. Under this approach,
after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes
financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes
liabilities when extinguished. Certain disclosure requirements of the statement
were effective immediately and have been adopted by BB&T. Other portions become
effective for transactions occurring after March 31, 2001. The adoption of the
continuing provisions of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material impact on BB&T's
consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.
Management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new provisions of SFAS
No. 140 will have a material impact on BB&T's consolidated financial position
or consolidated results of operations. See Note G. in the "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" for disclosures relating to SFAS No. 140.

   In addition to the mergers and acquisitions summarized in the above table,
through July 20, 2001, BB&T had acquired two insurance agencies during the year
that were accounted for as purchases. In conjunction with these two
transactions, BB&T issued approximately 29,000 shares of common stock and
recorded $7.7 million in goodwill, which is being amortized using the straight-
line method over 15 years. During 2000, BB&T acquired six insurance agencies,
which were accounted for as purchases. In conjunction with these transactions,
BB&T issued 1.4 million shares of common stock and recorded $38.9 million in
goodwill, which is being amortized using the straight-line method over 15
years. During 1999, BB&T acquired eleven insurance agencies and the book of
business from another agency. These acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases. In conjunction with the 1999 transactions, BB&T issued a total of
1.5 million shares of common stock and recorded $52.8 million of goodwill,
which is being amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years. During
1998, BB&T acquired four insurance agencies and the book of business of another
agency. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases. In conjunction with
the 1998 transactions, BB&T issued approximately 475,000 shares of common stock
and recorded $17.5 million of goodwill, which is being amortized using the
straight-line method over 15 years.

   For acquisitions accounted for as purchases, the financial information
contained herein includes data relevant to the acquirees since the date of
acquisition. For acquisitions accounted for as poolings of interests, the
financial information contained herein has been restated to include the
accounts of the merged institutions for all periods presented. BB&T typically

   Securities with a book value of approximately $7.6 billion and $7.1 billion

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   At December 31, 2000 and 1999, there were no concentrations of investments
in obligations of states and political subdivisions that were payable from the
same taxing authority or secured by the same revenue source that exceeded ten
percent of shareholders' equity. Trading securities totaling $96.7 million at
December 31, 2000 and $93.2 million at December 31, 1999 are excluded from the
accompanying tables.

   Proceeds from sales of securities during 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $5.2
billion, $959.1 million and $1.7 billion, respectively. Gross gains of $6.6
million, $5.7 million and $18.1 million and gross losses of $226.6 million,
$10.4 million and $6.0 million were realized on those sales in 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

   The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities portfolio at
December 31, 2000, by contractual maturity, are shown in the accompanying
table. The expected life of mortgage-backed securities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
the underlying mortgage loans with or without call or prepayment penalties. For
purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due
at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on
the weighted average contractual maturities of underlying collateral.

   Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are being amortized on a disaggregated
loan basis using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the
underlying loans. The servicing rights portfolio is analyzed each quarter to
identify possible impairment using a disaggregated discounted cash flow
methodology that is stratified by predominant risk characteristics. These
characteristics include stratification based on type of loan, maturity of loan
and interest rates in intervals of 150 basis points, except at December 31,
2000, when the interval was expanded to 200 basis points. Following is an
analysis of the aggregate changes in the valuation allowance for mortgage
servicing rights in 2000, 1999 and 1998 including the effects of related
hedging instruments:

   Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans on the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unpaid principal balances of
mortgage loans serviced for others were $15.8 billion and $15.3 billion at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

   During 2000, BB&T securitized and sold $2.4 billion of fixed rate mortgage
loans and recognized a pretax loss of $5.4 million, which was recorded in
noninterest income. BB&T retained the related mortgage servicing rights and
receives annual servicing fees approximating .25% of the outstanding balance of
the mortgage loans. The investors in the resulting securities have no recourse
against BB&T for any failure of the loans underlying the securities.

   BB&T uses assumptions and estimates in determining the fair value of
capitalized mortgage servicing rights. These assumptions include prepayment
speeds, net charge-off experience and discount rates commensurate with the
risks involved. Since assumptions and estimates used by acquired entities may
differ from those used by BB&T, and such assumptions will change following the
dates of acquisition to reflect the assumptions and fair value methodologies of
BB&T, the accompanying table includes disclosures concerning BB&T's capitalized
mortgage servicing rights as originally reported.

   At December 31, 2000, the sensitivity of the current fair value of the
capitalized mortgage servicing rights to immediate 25% and 50% adverse changes
in key economic assumptions are included in the accompanying table.

   The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be
considered to be predictive of future performance. As the figures indicate,
changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot
be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the
change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of an
adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage
servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in
reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example,
increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and
increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the effect of the
change.

portion securitized and derecognized during the periods presented and related
delinquencies and net charge-offs.

   Federal funds purchased represent unsecured borrowings from other banks and
generally mature daily. Term Federal funds purchased are identical to Federal
funds; however, maturities vary and are greater than one day. Securities sold
under agreements to repurchase are borrowings collateralized by securities of
the U.S. Government or its agencies and have maturities ranging from one to
ninety days. U.S. Treasury tax and loan deposit notes payable are payable upon
demand to the U.S. Treasury. Master notes are unsecured, non-negotiable
obligations of BB&T (variable rate commercial paper). Short-term Federal Home
Loan Bank advances generally mature daily. Short-term bank notes are unsecured
borrowings issued by the banking subsidiaries that generally mature in less
than one year.

million.

   As a result of the mergers with MainStreet Financial Corporation, Mason-
Dixon Bancshares, Inc., Premier Bancshares, Inc. and FCNB Corp, BB&T is the
sole owner of the common stock of the above statutory Delaware business trusts
and has assumed agreements which, taken collectively, fully, irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantee, on a subordinated basis, all of the trusts'
obligations under the Trust and Preferred Securities. The proceeds from the
issuance of these securities qualify as Tier I capital under the risk-based
capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve.

Note J. Shareholders' Equity

   The authorized capital stock of BB&T consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of
common stock, $5 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $5 par
value. At December 31, 2000, 423,049,641 shares of common stock and no shares
of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 Stock Option Plans

   At December 31, 2000, BB&T had the following stock-based compensation plans:
the 1994 and 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plans ("Omnibus Plans"), the
Incentive Stock Option Plan ("ISOP"), the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
("NQSOP") and the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan ("Directors'

Plan"), which are described below. BB&T accounts for these plans under APB
Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations, under which no compensation cost
has been recognized. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined
based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans granted
after December 31, 1994, consistent with the method described by SFAS No. 123,
BB&T's pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share would have been as

   The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: dividend
yield of 2.5% in 2000, 2.5% in 1999 and 2.3% in 1998; expected volatility of
29% in 2000, 25% in 1999 and 26% in 1998; risk free interest rates of 6.6%,
5.3% and 5.4% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively; and expected lives of 6.0
years, 5.8 years and 6.2 years for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

   Because the SFAS No. 123 method of accounting has not been applied to
options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation
cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years.

   In April, 1994 and February, 1995, the shareholders approved the Omnibus
Plans which cover the award of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock
options, shares of restricted stock, performance shares and stock appreciation
rights. In April 1996, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 1995
Omnibus Plan that increased the maximum number of shares issuable under the
terms of the plan, after giving effect to the August 3, 1998, 2-for-1 stock
split, to 12,000,000. In May 2000, the shareholders approved an amendment to
the 1995 Omnibus Plan that registered an additional 21.6 million shares for
issuance under the Omnibus Plans.

   The provisions of the 1995 Omnibus Plan also provide for an automatic
increase in the authorized number of shares issuable, equal to 3% of any
increase in the Corporation's outstanding common shares. Including options
authorized under these provisions, the maximum number of shares issuable under
the 1995 Omnibus Plan was 35.7 million at December 31, 2000. The combined
shares issuable under both Omnibus Plans, after giving effect to the 2-for-1
stock split and the automatic increase provided by the terms of the 1995
Omnibus Plan, is 43.7 million at December 31, 2000. The Omnibus Plans are
intended to allow BB&T to recruit and retain employees with ability and
initiative and to associate the employees' interests with those of BB&T and its
shareholders. At December 31, 2000, 12,544,548 qualified stock options at
prices ranging from $5.49 to $51.41 and 4,743,088 nonqualified stock options at
prices ranging from $3.23 to $56.98 were outstanding. The stock options
generally vest over 3 years and have a 10-year term.

   The ISOP and the NQSOP were established to retain key officers and key
management employees and to offer them the incentive to use their best efforts
on behalf of BB&T. The plans further provide for up to

                                       30

2,202,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for the granting of options,
which have a four year vesting schedule and must be exercised within ten years
from the date granted. These plans expired on December 19, 2000; however, any
options previously granted under the plans will be available to be exercised
for ten years. No additional grants will be made pursuant to these plans.
Incentive stock options granted had an exercise price equal to at least 100% of
the fair market value of common stock on the date granted, and the non-
qualified stock options were required to have an exercise price equal to at
least 85% of the fair market value on the date granted. At December 31, 2000,
options to purchase 97,428 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $4.75
to $8.375 were outstanding pursuant to the NQSOP. At December 31, 2000, options
to purchase 76,782 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.8885 were
outstanding pursuant to the ISOP.

   The Directors' Stock Option Plan is intended to provide incentives to non-
employee directors to remain on the Board of Directors and share in the
profitability of BB&T. The plan creates a deferred compensation system for
participating non-employee directors. Each non-employee director may elect to
defer 0%, 50% or 100% of the annual retainer fee for each calendar year and
apply that percentage toward the grant of options to purchase BB&T common
stock. Such elections are required to be in writing and are irrevocable for
each calendar year. The exercise price at which shares of BB&T common stock may
be purchased shall be equal to 75% of the market value of the common stock as
of the date of grant. Options are vested in six months and may be exercised
anytime thereafter until the expiration date, which is 10 years from the date
of grant. The Directors' Plan provides for the reservation of up to 1,800,000
shares of BB&T common stock. At December 31, 2000, options to purchase 671,142
shares of common stock at prices ranging from $6.3578 to $24.7774 were

 Shareholder Rights Plan

   On January 17, 1997, pursuant to the Rights Agreement approved by the Board
of Directors, BB&T distributed to shareholders one preferred stock purchase
right for each share of BB&T's common stock then outstanding. Subsequent to
this date, all shares issued are accompanied by a stock purchase right.
Initially, the rights, which expire in 10 years, are not exercisable and are
not transferable apart from the common stock. The rights will become
exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20% or more of BB&T's common
stock, or BB&T's Board of Directors determines, pursuant to the terms of the
Rights Agreement, that any person or group that has acquired 10% or more of
BB&T's common stock is an "Adverse Person." Each right would then enable the
holder to purchase 1/100th of a share of a new series of BB&T preferred stock
at an initial exercise price of $145.00. The Board of Directors will be
entitled to redeem the rights at $.01 per right under certain circumstances
specified in the Rights Agreement.

   Under the terms of the Rights Agreement, if any person or group becomes the
beneficial owner of 25% or more of BB&T's common stock, with certain
exceptions, or if the Board of Directors determines that any 10% or more
stockholder is an "Adverse Person," each right will entitle its holder (other
than the person triggering exercisability of the rights) to purchase, at the
right's then-current exercise price, shares of BB&T's common stock having a
value of twice the right's exercise price. In addition, if after any person or
group has become a 20% or more stockholder, BB&T is involved in a merger or
other business combination transaction with another person in which its common
stock is changed or converted, or sells 50% or more of its assets or earning
power to another person, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the
right's then-current exercise price, shares of common stock of such other
person having a value of twice the right's exercise price.

   During the fourth quarter of 2000, BB&T transferred responsibility for the
management of certain operations to a subsidiary in a tax-advantaged
jurisdiction, thereby lowering the effective income tax rate applicable to
certain lease investments. In accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for
Leases, the net income from the affected leases was recalculated from inception
based on the new effective income tax rate. The recalculation had the effect of
reducing net interest income for 2000 by $14.3 million and reducing the current
year's income tax provision by $19.8 million. BB&T intends to permanently
reinvest the earnings of this subsidiary and, therefore, in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred income taxes
associated with the current year's income tax benefit have not been provided.

Note L. Benefit Plans

   BB&T provides various benefit plans to existing employees and employees of
acquired entities. Employees of acquired entities generally participate in
existing BB&T plans upon consummation of the business combinations. The plans
of acquired institutions are typically merged into the BB&T plans upon
consummation of the mergers, and, under these circumstances, credit is usually
given to these employees for years of service at the acquired institution for
vesting and benefit accrual purposes.

   The following table summarizes expenses relating to employee retirement
plans. These expenses are restated for business combinations accounted for as
poolings of interests.

 Defined Benefit Retirement Plans

   BB&T provides a defined benefit retirement plan qualified under the Internal
Revenue Code that covers substantially all employees. Benefits are based on
years of service, age at retirement and the employee's compensation during the
five highest consecutive years of earnings within the last ten years of
employment. BB&T's contributions to the plan are in amounts between the minimum
required for funding standard accounts and the maximum deductible for federal
income tax purposes.

                       BB&T CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


   In addition, supplemental retirement benefits are provided to certain key
officers under supplemental defined benefit executive retirement plans, which
are not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code. Although technically
unfunded plans, insurance policies on the lives of the covered employees
partially fund future benefits.

   The restatement of actuarial information to include the benefit plans of
acquired companies is not meaningful because the benefits offered in those
companies' plans and the assumptions used in the calculations related to those
plans are superseded by the benefits offered in the BB&T plans and the
assumptions used in the BB&T calculations. Accordingly, the actuarial
information presented for retirement plans and postretirement benefits in the
accompanying tables is that of BB&T as originally presented.

   Financial data relative to the defined benefit pension plans is summarized
in the following tables for the years indicated:

 Postretirement Benefits Other than Pension

   BB&T provides certain postretirement benefits that cover employees retiring
after December 31, 1995, who are eligible for participation in the BB&T pension
plan and have at least ten years of service. The plan requires retiree
contributions, with a subsidy by BB&T based upon years of service of the
employee at the time of retirement. The subsidy is periodically reviewed for
adjustment. The plan provides flexible benefits to retirees or their
dependents.

counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by
the contractual notional amount of those instruments. BB&T uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-
balance sheet transactions.

   Commitments to extend credit are arrangements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Historically, many commitments expire without
being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts shown in the above
table are not necessarily indicative of future cash requirements. BB&T
evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount
and type of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by BB&T upon extension of
credit, is based on management's evaluation of the creditworthiness of the
counterparty.

   Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by BB&T to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and
private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuance, bond
financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters
of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities
to customers, and letters of credit are collateralized when necessary.

   Forward commitments to sell mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities
are contracts for delayed delivery of securities in which BB&T agrees to make
delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument, at a specified
price or yield. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to
meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in securities' values and
interest rates.

 Legal Proceedings

   The nature of the business of BB&T's banking subsidiaries ordinarily results
in a certain amount of litigation. The subsidiaries of BB&T are involved in
various legal proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal
conduct of business. Management believes that the liabilities, if any, arising
from these proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of BB&T.

Note N. Regulatory Requirements and Other Restrictions

   BB&T's subsidiary banks are required by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System to maintain reserve balances in the form of vault cash
or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank based on specified percentages of
certain deposit types, subject to various adjustments. At December 31, 2000,
the net reserve requirement amounted to $235.6 million.

   BB&T's subsidiary banks are prohibited from paying dividends from their
capital stock and additional paid-in capital accounts and are required by
regulatory authorities to maintain minimum capital levels. Subject to
restrictions imposed by state laws and federal regulations, the Boards of
Directors of the subsidiary banks could have declared dividends from their
retained earnings up to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2000.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

   BB&T is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on BB&T's
financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of BB&T's assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated pursuant to
regulatory directives. BB&T's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings and other factors. BB&T was in compliance with these requirements at
December 31, 2000. See "Regulatory Considerations" for additional information
regarding BB&T's regulatory requirements.

   Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require BB&T to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital
(as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of
Tier 1 capital to average assets.

   The following table provides summary information regarding regulatory
capital for BB&T and its significant banking subsidiaries as of December 31,
2000 and 1999:

Note P. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of on-balance sheet and off-
balance sheet financial instruments. A financial instrument is defined by SFAS
No. 107 as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract
that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or
another financial instrument from a second entity on potentially favorable or
unfavorable terms.

   Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market
data and information about the financial instrument. SFAS No. 107 specifies
that fair values should be calculated based on the value of one trading unit
without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations
of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, estimated
transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between
various financial instruments. No readily available market exists for a
significant portion of BB&T's financial instruments. Fair value estimates for
these instruments are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions,
currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other
factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the
calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by
comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in
a current sale of the instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly
affect the estimates.

   The following methods and assumptions were used by BB&T in estimating the
fair value of its financial instruments:

   Cash and cash equivalents: For these short-term instruments, the carrying
amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.

   Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, if
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices for similar securities.

   Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted
cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with
similar terms and credit quality. The carrying amounts of accrued interest
approximate fair values.

   Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits, interest-checking
accounts, savings accounts and certain money market accounts are, by
definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, i.e.,
their carrying amounts. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated
using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to
aggregate expected maturities.

   Short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased,
borrowings under repurchase agreements, master notes and other short-term
borrowed funds approximate their fair values.

   Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt are estimated based on
quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar
instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based
on BB&T's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

   Interest rate swap agreements: The fair values of interest rate swaps (used
for hedging purposes) are the estimated amounts that BB&T would receive or pay
to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account
current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap
counterparties.

   Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial
guarantees written: The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees
charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining
terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.
For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair values also consider the difference
between current levels of interest rates and the committed

                                       44

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

rates. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based
on fees currently charged for similar agreements.

   Other off-balance sheet instruments: The fair values for off-balance sheet
instruments (futures, forwards, options, and commitments to sell or purchase
financial instruments) are estimated based on quoted prices, if available. For
instruments for which there are no quoted prices, fair values are estimated
using current settlement values or pricing models.

   The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of BB&T's
financial assets and liabilities as of the periods indicated:

Note Q. Derivatives and Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

   BB&T utilizes interest rate swaps, caps, floors and collars in the
management of interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps are contractual
agreements between two parties to exchange a series of cash flows representing
interest payments. A swap allows both parties to alter the repricing
characteristics of assets or liabilities without affecting the underlying
principal positions. Through the use of a swap, assets and liabilities may be
transformed from fixed to floating rates, from floating rates to fixed rates,
or from one type of floating rate to another. Swap terms generally range from
one year to ten years depending on the need. At December 31, 2000, derivatives
with a total notional value of $825.9 million, with terms ranging up to sixteen
years, were outstanding.

   See Note A. of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" herein for a
summary of accounting policies related to derivative financial instruments.
Effective January 1, 2001, the accounting for these instruments changed to
comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, as explained in Note A.

   The following tables set forth certain information concerning BB&T's
interest rate swaps, caps, floors and collars at December 31, 2000:

   As of December 31, 2000, deferred gains from new swap transactions initiated
during 2000 were $468,000. There were no unamortized deferred gains or losses
from terminated transactions remaining at year end. Active transactions
resulted in additional net interest expense totaling $8.1 million during 2000.

   BB&T utilizes written covered over-the-counter call options on specific
securities in the available-for-sale portfolio in order to enhance returns.
During 2000, options were written on securities totaling $150.0 million. Option
fee income was $1.1 million for 2000. There were no unexercised options
outstanding at December 31, 2000 or 1999.

   BB&T also utilizes over-the-counter purchased put options and net purchased
put options (combination of purchased put option and written call option) in
its mortgage banking activities. These options are used to hedge the mortgage
loan warehouse and mortgage applications and loans in process against
increasing interest rates. Written call options are used in tandem with
purchased put options to create a net purchased put option that reduces the
cost of the hedge. At December 31, 2000, net purchased put option contracts
with a notional value of $50.0 million were outstanding.

   The $825.9 million notional amount of derivatives used in interest rate risk
management are primarily used to hedge variable rate commercial loans,
mortgage-backed securities, retail certificates of deposit and fixed rate
notes. BB&T does not utilize derivatives for trading purposes.

   Although off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments do not expose
BB&T to credit risk equal to the notional amount, such agreements generate
credit risk to the extent of the fair value gain in an off-balance sheet
derivative financial instrument if the counterparty fails to perform. Such risk
is minimized through the creditworthiness of the counterparties and the
consistent monitoring of these agreements. The counterparties to these
arrangements were primarily large commercial banks and investment banks. All
counterparties are reviewed annually for creditworthiness by BB&T's credit
policy group. Where appropriate, master netting agreements are arranged or
collateral is obtained in the form of rights to securities. At December 31,
2000, BB&T's interest rate swaps, caps, floors and collars reflected an
unrealized gain of $348,000.

   Other risks associated with interest-sensitive derivatives include the
effect on fixed rate positions during periods of changing interest rates.
Indexed amortizing swaps' notional amounts and maturities change based on
certain interest rate indices. Generally, as rates fall the notional amounts
decline more rapidly, and as rates increase notional amounts decline more
slowly. Under unusual circumstances, financial derivatives also increase
liquidity risk, which could result from an environment of rising interest rates
in which derivatives produce negative cash flows while being offset by
increased cash flows from variable rate loans. Such risk is considered
insignificant due to the relatively small derivative positions held by BB&T. At
December 31, 2000, BB&T had no indexed amortizing swaps outstanding.

NOTE S. Operating Segments

   BB&T's operations are divided into six reportable business segments: the
Banking Network, Mortgage Banking, Trust Services, Agency Insurance, Investment
Banking and Brokerage, and Treasury. These operating segments have been
identified based on BB&T's organizational structure. The segments require
unique technology and marketing strategies and offer different products and
services. While BB&T is managed as an integrated organization, individual
executive managers are held accountable for the operations of these business
segments.

   BB&T measures and presents information for internal reporting purposes in a
variety of different ways. Information for BB&T's reportable segments is
available based on organizational structure, product offerings and customer
relationships. The internal reporting system presently utilized by management
in the planning and measuring of operating activities, as well as the system to
which most managers are held accountable, is based on organizational structure.

   BB&T emphasizes revenue growth by focusing on client service, sales
effectiveness and relationship management. The segment results contained herein
are presented based on internal management accounting policies that were
designed to support these strategic objectives. Unlike financial accounting,
there is no comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management
accounting equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore,
the performance of the segments is not necessarily comparable with BB&T's
consolidated results or with similar information presented by any other
financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the
various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the
segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.

1998. During 1999, BB&T revised the methods used to allocate noninterest
expenses among the various segments. The information presented for 1998 has
been restated to reflect these revisions. Also, BB&T completed various mergers
and acquisitions accounted for as poolings of interests in 2000. Prior period
information presented herein has been restated to reflect the effect of those
mergers on the segment results; however, BB&T does not restate prior periods
for internal accounting methodologies, as discussed below.

   The management accounting process uses various estimates and allocation
methodologies to measure the performance of the operating segments. To
determine financial performance for each segment, BB&T allocates capital,
funding charges and credits, an economic provision for loan and lease losses,
certain noninterest expenses and income tax provisions to each segment, as
applicable. Also, to promote revenue growth and provide a basis for employee
incentives, certain revenues of Mortgage Banking, Trust Services, Agency
Insurance and the Investment Banking and Brokerage segments are reflected in
the individual segments and also allocated to the Banking Network. This double
counting of revenue is reflected in intersegment noninterest revenues and
eliminated to arrive at consolidated results. Allocation methodologies are
subject to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is
revised and business or product lines within the segments change. Also, because
the development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process,
the financial results presented may be periodically revised. As discussed
above, funds transfer pricing and allocations derived by BB&T's internal
accounting practices are not restated for mergers accounted for as poolings of
interests.

   BB&T's overall objective is to maximize shareholder value by optimizing
return on equity and limiting risk. Allocations of capital and the economic
provision for loan and lease losses are designed to address this objective.
Capital is assigned to each segment on an economic basis, using management's
assessment of the inherent risks associated with the segment. Economic capital
allocations are made to cover the following risk categories: credit risk,
funding risk, interest rate risk, option risk, basis risk, market risk and
operational risk. Each segment is evaluated based on a risk-adjusted return on
capital. Capital assignments are not equivalent to regulatory capital
guidelines and the total amount assigned to all segments may vary from
consolidated shareholders' equity. All unallocated capital is retained in the
Treasury segment.

   The economic provision for loan and lease losses is also allocated to the
relevant segments based on management's assessment of the segments' risks as
described above. Unlike the provision for loan and lease losses recorded
pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, the economic provision
adjusts for the impact of expected credit losses over the effective lives of
the related loans and leases. Any unallocated provision for loan and lease
losses is retained in the Corporate Office.

   BB&T has implemented an extensive noninterest expense allocation process to
support organizational profitability. BB&T allocates expenses to the reportable
segments based on various cost allocation methodologies, including the number
of items processed, overall percentage of time spent, full-time equivalent
employees assigned to functions, functional position surveys and activity-based
costing. A portion of corporate overhead expense is not allocated, but is
retained in corporate accounts reflected as other expenses in the accompanying
tables. Income taxes are allocated to the various segments using effective tax
rates.

   BB&T utilizes a funds transfer pricing ("FTP") system to eliminate the
effect of interest rate risk from the segments' net interest income because
such risk is centrally managed within the Treasury segment. The FTP system
credits or charges the segments with the true value or cost of the funds the
segments create or use. The FTP system provides a funds credit for sources of
funds and a funds charge for the use of funds by each segment. The net FTP
credit or charge is reflected as net intersegment interest income (expense) in
the accompanying tables.

 Treasury

   BB&T's Treasury segment is responsible for the management of the securities
portfolios, overall balance sheet funding and liquidity, and overall management
of interest rate risk. See the Market Risk Management

Results of Operations" in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional
information about the responsibilities of the Treasury segment.

 Banking Network

   BB&T's Banking Network serves individual and business clients by offering a
variety of loan and deposit products and other financial services. The Banking
Network is primarily responsible for client relationships, and, therefore, is
credited with revenue from the Mortgage Banking, Trust Services, Agency
Insurance and Investment Banking and Brokerage segments, which is reflected in
intersegment noninterest income. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in BB&T's Annual Report on Form
10-K for additional discussion concerning the functions of the Banking Network.

 Mortgage Banking

   The Mortgage Banking segment retains and services mortgage loans originated
by the Banking Network as well as those purchased from various correspondent
originators. Mortgage loan products include fixed- and adjustable-rate
government and conventional loans for the purpose of constructing, purchasing
or refinancing owner-occupied properties. Fixed-rate mortgage loans are
typically sold to government agencies and private investors with servicing
rights retained by BB&T, while adjustable-rate loans are typically held in the
portfolio. The Mortgage Banking segment earns interest on loans held in the
warehouse and portfolio, fee income from the origination and servicing of
mortgage loans and recognizes gains or losses from the sale of mortgage loans.
The Banking Network receives an interoffice credit for the origination of loans
and servicing rights, with the corresponding charge remaining in the Corporate
Office.

 Trust Services

   BB&T's Trust Services segment provides personal trust administration, estate
planning, investment counseling, asset management, employee benefits services,
and corporate trust services to individuals, corporations, institutions,
foundations and government entities. The Banking Network receives an
interoffice credit for trust fees in the initial year the account is referred,
with the corresponding charge remaining in the Corporate Office.

 Agency Insurance

   BB&T has the largest independent insurance agency network in the Carolinas.
BB&T Insurance Services provides property and casualty, life and health
insurance to businesses and individuals. It also provides small business and
corporate products, such as workers compensation and professional liability, as
well as provides surety coverage and title insurance. The Banking Network
receives credit for insurance commissions on referred accounts, with the
corresponding charge retained in the Corporate Office. These revenues and
expenses are reflected in the accompanying tables as intersegment noninterest
income and expense.

 Investment Banking and Brokerage

   BB&T's Investment Banking and Brokerage segment offers clients investment
alternatives, including discount brokerage services, fixed-rate and variable-
rate annuities, and mutual funds through BB&T Investment Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of BB&T-NC. The Investment Banking and Brokerage segment includes
Scott & Stringfellow, Inc., a full-service brokerage and investment banking
firm headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Scott & Stringfellow specializes in
the origination, trading and distribution of fixed-income securities and equity
products in both the public and private capital markets. Scott & Stringfellow
also provides investment banking, financial advisory and underwriting services
to a variety of regional corporate and municipal issuers. The Banking Network
is credited for investment service revenues on referred accounts, with the
corresponding charge retained in the Corporate Office. These revenues and
expenses are reflected in the accompanying tables as intersegment noninterest
income and expense.
