   On June 7, 2001, BB&T Corporation ("BB&T") completed its merger with Century
South Banks, Inc. ("Century South") of Alpharetta, Georgia. To consummate the
merger, Century South's shareholders received .93 shares of BB&T common stock
in exchange for each share of Century South common stock held, resulting in the

   The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly,
the consolidated financial statements (including notes to consolidated
financial statements) for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
