BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (“BB&T”, the “Corporation” or the “Company”), are fair statements of BB&T’s financial position at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and BB&T’s changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Nature of Operations

BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), BB&T Financial, FSB (“BB&T FSB”), a federally chartered thrift institution, and its nonbank subsidiaries. Branch Bank has offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Washington, D.C. Branch Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individuals and businesses, and offers a variety of loans to businesses and consumers. Such loans are made primarily to individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses located within BB&T’s geographic footprint. Branch Bank also markets a wide range of deposit services to individuals, businesses and public entities. Branch Bank offers, either directly, or through its subsidiaries, lease financing to businesses and municipal governments; factoring; discount brokerage services, annuities and mutual funds; life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance and commercial general liability insurance on an agency basis and through a wholesale insurance brokerage operation; insurance premium financing; permanent financing arrangements for commercial real estate; loan servicing for third-party investors; direct consumer finance loans to individuals; trust and comprehensive wealth advisory services and association services. BB&T FSB and the direct nonbank subsidiaries of BB&T provide a variety of financial services including credit card lending, automobile lending, equipment financing, full-service securities brokerage, asset management and capital markets services.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T Corporation and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BB&T and over which BB&T exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

BB&T holds investments in certain legal entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE’s”). VIE’s are legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities, or as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE.

BB&T evaluates its investments in VIE’s to determine if a controlling financial interest is held. This evaluation gives appropriate consideration to the design of the entity and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along, the relative power of each of the parties to the VIE, and to BB&T’s relative obligation to absorb losses or receive residual returns of the entity, in relation to such obligations and rights held by other parties to the VIE. BB&T has variable interests in certain entities that were not required to be consolidated, including affordable housing partnership interests, historic tax credit partnerships, and other partnership interests. Refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures regarding BB&T’s significant variable interest entities.

BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership and similar investments using the equity method of accounting. In addition to affordable housing partnerships, which represent the majority of unconsolidated investments in variable interest entities, BB&T also has investments and future funding commitments to venture capital and other entities. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in variable interest entities is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding balance, future funding commitments and any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as are other loans and are generally secured.

BB&T has investments in certain entities for which BB&T does not have the controlling interest. For these investments, the Company records its interest using the equity method with its portion of income or loss being recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T periodically evaluates these investments for impairment.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders’ equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance requires a gross presentation of purchases and sales of

8

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

Level 3 activities and adds a new requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. The guidance related to the transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements was effective for BB&T on January 1, 2010. The guidance that requires increased disaggregation of the Level 3 activities was effective for BB&T on January 1, 2011. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 14 to these consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Receivables. The new guidance requires additional disclosures that will allow users to understand the nature of credit risk inherent in a company’s loan portfolios, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for loan and lease losses, and changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Receivables. The new guidance amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a loan modification is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. This guidance was effective for interim reporting periods that began after June 15, 2011, and was applied retrospectively to the beginning of 2011. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company’s valuation processes. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and all amendments will be applied prospectively with any changes in measurements recognized in income in the period of adoption. BB&T is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Comprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. All changes in OCI will be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not impact BB&T’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will only impact the presentation of OCI in the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Intangibles. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To the extent that an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performance of the two step impairment test is not required. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to BB&T’s consolidated financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2011, BB&T reclassified approximately $8.3 billion of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. Management determined that it has both the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The reclassification of these securities was accounted for at fair value. On the date of transfer, the difference between the par value and the fair value of these securities resulted in a premium or discount that is amortized as a yield adjustment to interest income using the interest method. The unrealized holding gains or losses at the date of transfer will continue to be reported as part of other, net in accumulated other comprehensive income, and is also amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment to interest income using the interest method. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of this transfer.

As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of covered securities included $1.4 billion of non-agency mortgage-backed securities and $318 million of municipal securities. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of covered securities included $1.2 billion of non-agency mortgage-backed securities and $304 million of municipal securities. All covered securities were acquired from Colonial Bank (“Colonial”) and are covered by one of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) loss sharing agreements. BB&T is restricted from selling these securities without prior approval from the FDIC. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, securities with carrying values of approximately $13.9 billion and $19.3 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, other borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

BB&T had certain investments in marketable debt securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) that exceeded ten percent of shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2011. The Fannie Mae investments had total amortized cost and fair values of $7.9 billion and $8.0 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2011, while Freddie Mac investments had total amortized cost and fair values of $10.3 billion and $10.4 billion, respectively. These securities are carried at amortized cost in the held to maturity portfolio or fair value in the available for sale portfolio.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, non-agency mortgage-backed securities primarily consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities.

The gross realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments recognized in income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are reflected in the following table:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at September 30, 2011, 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 included in maturity groupings based on the contractual maturity.

BB&T conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized loss for other-than-temporary impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities.

13

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include:

• The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer;

• BB&T’s intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis;

• The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;

• Whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific conditions, such as conditions in an industry or in a geographic area;

• Whether a debt security has been downgraded by a rating agency;

• Whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated;

• The seniority of the security;

• Whether dividends have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments on debt securities have not been made; and

• Any other relevant available information.

If an unrealized loss is considered other-than-temporary, the credit component of the unrealized loss is recognized in earnings and the non-credit component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent that BB&T does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that BB&T will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery.

BB&T evaluates credit impairment related to mortgage-backed securities using a number of different expected cash flow models. These models reflect differing approaches to estimating the expected future cash flows associated with a given security, with certain models giving greater consideration to long-term macroeconomic factors that are applied to current security default rates, prepayment rates and recovery rates, and other models produce results that are more heavily influenced by current security-level performance. All of these models provide estimates of the expected cash flows on the underlying mortgage pools using security-specific structure information over the expected life of the security. These models estimate cash flows from the underlying mortgage loan pools and distribute those cash flows to the various tranches within the securitization considering the transaction structure, which may include subordination features and/or credit enhancements. Management reviews the results of these cash flow models and assigns probability weightings to each model based on an assessment of the current performance of the underlying securities, prevailing economic conditions and historical payment experience.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, BB&T realized principal losses on certain other-than-temporarily impaired securities totaling approximately $2 million and $8 million, respectively. Based on its consideration of the timing and extent of these losses, combined with prevailing economic conditions, BB&T determined that its cash flow modeling should give greater weighting to current security-level performance and give less weighting to modeling that relies more heavily on long-term economic factors. This change in probability-weighting resulted in the majority of the credit losses recognized on securities.

On September 30, 2011, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. The vast majority of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and municipal securities. At September 30, 2011, all of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months, excluding those covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, were investment grade with the exception of two municipal bonds with an amortized cost of $8 million and ten non-agency mortgage-backed securities with an adjusted amortized cost of $469 million.

All of the non-investment grade securities referenced above were initially investment grade and have been downgraded since purchase. Based on its evaluation at September 30, 2011, BB&T determined that certain of the non-investment grade non-agency mortgage-backed securities had credit losses evident and recognized other-than-temporary impairments related to these securities. At September 30, 2011, the total unrealized loss on these non-investment grade securities was $79 million.

The following table presents non-investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses that are not covered by a loss sharing arrangement and the credit loss component of OTTI recognized to date:

	September 30, 2011
	Amortized Cost		Cumulative Credit Loss Recognized			Adjusted Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Unrealized Loss
	(Dollars in millions)

RMBS 2		139		(29	)		110		94		(16	)
RMBS 3		103		(13	)		90		77		(13	)

BB&T’s evaluation of the other debt securities with continuous unrealized losses indicated that there were no credit losses evident. Furthermore, as of the date of the evaluation, BB&T did not intend to sell, and it was more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell, these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. In making this determination, BB&T considers its expected liquidity and capital needs, including its asset/liability management needs, forecasts, strategies and other relevant information.

Changes in the carrying amount and accretable yield for purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans were as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010:

	September 30, 2011												December 31, 2010
	Purchased Impaired						Purchased Nonimpaired						Purchased Impaired						Purchased Nonimpaired

The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased impaired loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $3.6 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased nonimpaired loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $4.3 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, none of the purchased loans were classified as nonperforming assets. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased loans. The allowance for loan losses related to the purchased loans results from decreased expectations of future cash flows due to increased credit losses for certain acquired loan pools.

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its commercial portfolio segment using internal risk ratings. These risk ratings are based on established regulatory guidance. Loans with a Pass rating represent those not considered as a problem credit. Special mention loans are those that have a potential weakness deserving management’s close

21

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

attention. Substandard loans are those where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. Substandard loans are placed in nonaccrual status when BB&T believes it is no longer probable it will collect all contractual cash flows.

BB&T assigns an internal risk rating at loan origination and reviews the relationship again on an annual basis or at any point management becomes aware of information affecting the borrower’s ability to fulfill their obligations.

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its retail portfolio segment based primarily on delinquency status, which is the primary factor considered in determining whether a retail loan should be classified as nonaccrual.

The following tables illustrate the credit quality indicators associated with BB&T’s loans and leases held for investment as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Covered and other acquired loans are excluded from this analysis because their related allowance is determined by loan pool performance due to the application of the accretion method.

Modifications to a borrower’s debt agreement are considered troubled debt restructurings (“restructurings”) if a concession is granted for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties that otherwise would not be considered. Restructurings are undertaken in order to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan and may take the form of modifications made with the stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, other modifications to the structure of the loan that fall outside of normal underwriting policies and procedures, or in certain limited circumstances forgiveness of principal or interest. Modifications of covered and other acquired loans that are part of a pool accounted for as a single asset are not considered restructurings.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

The following table provides a summary of the primary reason loan modifications were classified as restructurings and their estimated impact on the allowance for loan and lease losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

(1) Includes modifications made to existing restructurings, as well as new modifications that are considered restructurings. Balances represent the recorded investment as of the end of the period in which the modification was made.

(2) Includes restructurings made with a below market interest rate that also includes a modification of loan structure.

There was no forgiveness of principal or interest for restructurings recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Charge-offs recorded at the modification date were $6 million and $29 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Modifications made to existing restructurings in the commercial portfolio segment approximated 19% and 28% of total commercial restructurings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

The allowance for nonperforming commercial restructurings for relationships with outstanding debt of $2 million or more are determined using a discounted expected cash flow approach and/or the value of collateral. The allowance for other commercial restructurings and all retail restructurings are determined using a discounted expected cash flow approach.

The following table provides a summary of the pre-default balance for modifications that experienced a payment default during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, that had been classified as restructurings during the previous 12 months. BB&T defines payment default as movement of the restructuring to nonaccrual status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

	Three Months  Ended September 30, 2011		Nine Months  Ended September 30, 2011

If a restructuring subsequently defaults, BB&T evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying value of the loan.

NOTE 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill attributable to each of BB&T’s operating segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are reflected in the table below. To date, there have been no goodwill impairments recorded by BB&T.

(1) Balances exclude loans serviced for others, with no other continuing involvement.

(2) Includes amounts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale and excludes amounts related to government guaranteed loans. Refer to Loans and Leases Note for additional disclosures related to past due government guaranteed loans.

(3) Net charge-offs for September 30, 2011 reflect nine months.

The unpaid principal balances of BB&T’s total residential mortgage servicing portfolio were $88.7 billion and $83.5 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The unpaid principal balances of residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans and totaled $66.3 billion and $61.8 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T sold residential mortgage loans from the held for sale portfolio with unpaid principal balances of $12.0 billion and $13.1 billion, respectively, and recognized pre-tax gains of $109 million and $181 million, respectively, including the impact of interest rate lock commitments. These gains are recorded in noninterest income as a component of mortgage banking income. BB&T retained the related mortgage servicing rights and receives servicing fees.

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the approximate weighted average servicing fee was 0.34% and 0.35%, respectively, of the outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced for others. The weighted average coupon interest rate on the portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others was 5.10% and 5.37% at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. BB&T recognized servicing fees of $179 million and $168 million during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a component of mortgage banking income.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans sold with recourse liability. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has maximum recourse exposure of approximately $536 million and $597 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T has recorded $8 million and $6 million, respectively, of reserves related to these recourse exposures. Payments made to date have been immaterial.

BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of BB&T. BB&T has recorded $22 million and $15 million of reserves related to potential losses resulting from repurchases of loans sold at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Residential mortgage servicing rights are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions of its residential mortgage servicing rights. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T’s residential mortgage servicing rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010
	(Dollars in millions)
Carrying value, January 1,	$	830		$	832

Other changes (1)		(103	)		(97	)
Carrying value, September 30,	$	573		$	585

(1) Represents the realization of expected net servicing cash flows, expected borrower payments and the passage of time.

During the first nine months of 2011, management revised its servicing costs assumptions in the valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights due to the expectation of higher costs that are impacting the industry. The impact of these changes resulted in a $30 million reduction in the value of residential mortgage servicing rights. Management also updated prepayment speed forecast assumptions primarily due to a decrease in interest rates which caused the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights to decrease $265 million.

Refer to Note 14 for additional disclosures related to the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights. At September 30, 2011, the sensitivity of the current fair value of the residential mortgage servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions are included in the accompanying table:

	Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights September 30, 2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights	$	573
Composition of residential loans serviced for others:
Fixed-rate mortgage loans		99	%
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans		1
Total		100	%
Weighted average life		3.8	yrs
Prepayment speed		19.8	%
Effect on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(35	)
Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(65	)
Weighted average discount rate		10.3	%
Effect on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(19	)
Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(37	)

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, 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), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Commercial Mortgage Banking Activities

BB&T also arranges and services commercial real estate mortgages through Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Grandbridge”) the commercial mortgage banking subsidiary of Branch Bank. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Grandbridge originated $3.3 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, of commercial real estate mortgages, the majority of which were arranged for third party investors. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Grandbridge’s portfolio of commercial real estate mortgages serviced for others totaled $25.0 billion and $24.1 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Grandbridge had $4.5 billion and $4.4 billion in loans serviced for others that were covered by recourse provisions at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Grandbridge’s maximum exposure to loss for these loans was approximately $1.2 billion. BB&T has recorded $22 million and $19 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Commercial mortgage servicing rights are recorded as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or market and amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period that net servicing

income is expected to be received based on projections of the amount and timing of estimated future net cash flows. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T’s commercial mortgage servicing rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Commercial Mortgage Servicing Rights Nine Months Ended September 30,

At September 30, 2011, the sensitivity of the current fair value of the capitalized commercial mortgage servicing rights to adverse changes in key economic assumptions are included in the accompanying table:

	Commercial Mortgage Servicing Rights September 30, 2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Fair value of commercial mortgage servicing rights	$	128

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, 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 increased value of escrow deposits), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

In March 2011, BB&T made the decision to retire all of its junior subordinated debt to unconsolidated trusts through the exercise of certain early redemption provisions. BB&T determined that it was appropriate to amortize the remaining debt issuance costs and related discounts or premiums, including fair value hedge adjustments, over the period from March 2011 to the current expected redemption date for each of the impacted debt securities.

NOTE 9. Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The authorized common stock of BB&T consists of two billion shares with a $5 par value. There were 697 million and 694 million common shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Preferred Stock

The authorized preferred stock of BB&T consists of five million shares. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

Equity-Based Plans

At September 30, 2011, BB&T has options, restricted shares and restricted share units outstanding from the following equity-based compensation plans: the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), the 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”), the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (“Directors’ Plan”), and a plan assumed from an acquired entity. BB&T’s shareholders have approved all equity-based compensation plans with the exception of the plan assumed from an acquired entity. As of September 30, 2011, the 2004 Plan is the only plan that has shares available for future grants. The 2004 Plan allows for accelerated vesting of awards for holders who retire and have met all retirement eligibility requirements and in connection with certain other events. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further disclosures related to equity-based awards issued by BB&T.

BB&T measures the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants awarded during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Substantially all of BB&T’s option awards are granted in February of each year. Therefore, the assumptions noted below are weighted accordingly:

	September 30,
	2011			2010
Assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate		1.7	%		2.0	%
Dividend yield		3.5			5.4
Volatility factor		37.2			36.0
Expected life		7.4	yrs		7.2	yrs
Fair value of options per share	$	7.45		$	5.60

BB&T measures the fair value of restricted shares based on the price of BB&T’s common stock on the grant date and the fair value of restricted share units based on the price of BB&T’s common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends that are foregone during the vesting period.

NOTE 11. Income Taxes

BB&T’s provision for income taxes was $68 million and $27 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $212 million and $100 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 15.5% and 11.0%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 18.5% and 13.6%, respectively. The higher effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 2010 are primarily due to higher levels of pre-tax income, which is subject to the marginal tax rate. The third quarter of 2011 includes a $26 million tax benefit related to the sale of leveraged leases.

In February 2010, BB&T received an IRS statutory notice of deficiency for tax years 2002-2007 asserting a liability for taxes, penalties and interest of approximately $892 million related to the disallowance of foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. Management has

37

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

consulted with outside counsel and continues to believe that BB&T’s treatment of this transaction was in compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations. However, as a procedural matter and in order to limit its exposure to incremental penalties and interest associated with this matter, BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest in March 2010, and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. BB&T recorded a receivable in other assets for the amount of this payment, less the reserve considered necessary in accordance with applicable income tax accounting guidance. Based on an assessment of the applicable tax law and the relevant facts and circumstances related to this matter, management has concluded that the amount of this reserve is adequate, although litigation is still ongoing. Final resolution of this matter is not expected to occur within the next twelve months.

NOTE 12. Benefit Plans

BB&T provides various benefit plans to substantially all employees, including employees of acquired entities. Employees of acquired entities generally participate in existing BB&T plans after consummation of the business combinations. The plans of acquired institutions are typically merged into the BB&T plans after 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 eligibility purposes. The Colonial transaction, as an asset purchase, was handled differently from typical mergers. The retirement plans of Colonial were not assumed by BB&T, and as such, were not merged into the BB&T plans. Credit for years of service with Colonial, where given, was determined on a plan-by-plan basis with regard to the participation of former Colonial employees in BB&T’s plans.

The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized for BB&T’s pension plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

BB&T makes contributions to the qualified pension plan in amounts between the minimum required for funding standard accounts and the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. A discretionary contribution of $68 million was made to the qualified pension plan during the first nine months of 2010. Management is not required to, and currently has no plans to, make a contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2011; however, such a contribution may be made later in 2011, if deemed appropriate.

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies

BB&T utilizes a variety of financial instruments to meet the financing needs of clients and to reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees and derivatives. BB&T also has commitments to fund certain affordable housing investments and contingent liabilities related to certain sold loans.

Commitments to extend, originate or purchase credit are primarily lines of credit to businesses and consumers and have specified rates and maturity dates. Many of these commitments also have adverse change clauses, which allow BB&T to cancel the commitment due to deterioration in the borrowers’ creditworthiness.

Letters of credit and financial guarantees written are unconditional commitments issued by BB&T to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuance, bond financing and similar transactions, the majority of which are to tax exempt entities. The credit risk involved in the issuance of these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and as such, the instruments are collateralized when necessary. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had issued letters of credit totaling $6.3 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability for such guarantees was $35 million and $41 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or interest rate. For additional disclosures related to BB&T’s derivatives refer to Note 15.

In the ordinary course of business, BB&T indemnifies its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities arising from pending litigation. BB&T also issues standard representation and warranties in underwriting agreements, merger and acquisition agreements, loan sales, brokerage activities and other similar arrangements. Counterparties in many of these indemnification arrangements provide similar indemnifications to BB&T. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these guarantees would materially change the financial position or results of operations of BB&T.

Merger and acquisition agreements of businesses other than financial institutions occasionally include additional incentives to the acquired entities to offset the loss of future cash flows previously received through ownership positions. Typically, these incentives are based on the acquired entity’s contribution to BB&T’s earnings compared to agreed-upon amounts. When offered, these incentives are typically issued for terms of three to five years. As certain provisions of these agreements do not specify dollar limitations, it is not possible to quantify the maximum exposure resulting from these agreements. However, based on recent payouts and current projections, any payments made in relation to these agreements are not expected to be material to BB&T’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In connection with the Colonial acquisition, Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC related to certain assets acquired. Pursuant to the terms of these loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s

obligation to reimburse Branch Bank for losses with respect to certain loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”), certain investment securities and other assets (collectively, “covered assets”), begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. For additional information about the terms of the loss sharing agreements refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

BB&T invests in certain affordable housing and historic building rehabilitation projects throughout its market area as a means of supporting local communities, and receives tax credits related to these investments. BB&T typically acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. Branch Bank typically provides financing during the construction and development of the properties; however, permanent financing is generally obtained from independent third parties upon completion of a project. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had investments of $1.2 billion related to these projects, which are included as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T’s outstanding commitments to fund affordable housing investments totaled $278 million and $334 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which are included as other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had outstanding loan commitments to these funds of $144 million and $135 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $69 million and $36 million had been funded at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T’s maximum risk exposure related to these investments totaled $1.3 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

BB&T has sold certain mortgage-related loans that contain recourse provisions. These provisions generally require BB&T to reimburse the investor for a share of any loss that is incurred after the disposal of the property. BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Refer to Note 6 for additional disclosures related to these exposures.

BB&T has investments and future funding commitments to certain venture capital funds. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had investments of $276 million and $266 million related to these ventures, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had future funding commitments of $152 million and $185 million, respectively. BB&T’s risk exposure relating to such commitments is generally limited to the amount of investments and future funding commitments made.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of the business of BB&T’s banking and other subsidiaries ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. BB&T believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interests of BB&T and its shareholders.

The Company is a defendant in three separate cases primarily challenging the Company’s daily ordering of debit transactions posted to customer checking accounts for the period from 2003 to 2010. The plaintiffs have requested class action treatment, however, no class has been certified. The court initially denied motions by the Company to dismiss these cases and compel them to be submitted to individual arbitration. The Company then filed appeals in all three matters. There have been numerous subsequent procedural developments, and at present the issues raised by these motions and/or appeals remain pending. If the motions or appeals are granted, they would preclude class action treatment. Even if those appeals are denied, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these matters, including class certification. Because of these appeals, and because these cases are in preliminary proceedings and no damages have been specified, no specific loss or range of loss can currently be determined.

On at least a quarterly basis, BB&T assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that BB&T will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, BB&T records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. For other matters, where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, BB&T has not accrued legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, BB&T’s management believes that its established legal reserves are adequate and the liabilities arising from BB&T’s legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to BB&T’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

NOTE 14. Fair Value Disclosures

BB&T carries various assets and liabilities at fair value based on applicable accounting standards. In addition, BB&T has elected to account for prime residential mortgage and commercial mortgage loans originated as loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting standards (the “Fair Value Option”). BB&T also has certain loans held for sale that were originated as loans held for investment. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market. Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants. These standards also established a three level fair value hierarchy that describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities. Level 1 asset and liability fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 asset and liability fair values are based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices that are not in an active market; or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities are financial instruments whose value is calculated by the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as financial instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. These methodologies may result in a significant portion of the fair value being derived from unobservable data.

The following discussion focuses on the valuation techniques and significant inputs used by BB&T in determining the Level 2 and Level 3 fair values of each significant class of assets and liabilities.

The fair values for available-for-sale and trading securities are generally based upon quoted market prices or observable market prices for similar instruments. BB&T generally utilizes a third-party pricing service in determining the fair value of its securities portfolio. The pricing service uses observable inputs when available including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some inputs may not be applicable. BB&T performs a review of pricing on actual trades executed in order to validate the fair values provided by this pricing service. BB&T also analyzes available third-party market data for a sample of securities to further validate these fair values. When market observable data is not available, which generally occurs due to the lack of liquidity for certain securities, the valuation of the security is subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

Specific valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of each significant class of assets and liabilities follows:

Trading securities: Trading securities are composed of all types of debt and equity securities, but the majority consists of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government-sponsored entities, or states and political subdivisions. The valuation techniques used for these investments are more fully discussed below.

GSE securities and Mortgage-backed securities issued by GSE: These are debt securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. BB&T’s valuations are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

States and political subdivisions: These are debt securities issued by states and political subdivisions. BB&T’s valuations are primarily based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields, MSRB reported trades, material event notices and new issue data.

Non-agency mortgage-backed securities: BB&T’s valuation for these debt securities is based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

Other securities: These securities consist primarily of equities, mutual funds and corporate bonds. These securities are valued based on a review of quoted market prices for identical and similar assets as well as through the various other inputs discussed previously.

Covered securities: Covered securities are covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements and consist of re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The covered state and political subdivision securities and certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities are valued in a manner similar to the approach described above for these asset classes. The re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which are categorized as Level 3, were valued based on broker dealer quotes that reflected certain unobservable market inputs.

Loans held for sale: BB&T originates certain mortgage loans to be sold to investors. These loans are carried at fair value based on BB&T’s election of the Fair Value Option. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale.

Residential mortgage servicing rights: BB&T estimates the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) using an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation model to project MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The OAS model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. When available, fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to observable market data and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.

Derivative assets and liabilities: BB&T uses derivatives to manage various financial risks. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments, is based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that BB&T does not expect to fund and includes the value attributable to the net servicing fee.

44

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

Venture capital and similar investments: BB&T has venture capital and similar investments that are carried at fair value. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated.

Short-term borrowed funds: Short-term borrowed funds represent debt securities sold short. These are entered into through BB&T’s brokerage subsidiary Scott & Stringfellow, LLC. These trades are executed as a hedging strategy for the purposes of supporting institutional and retail client trading activities.

The tables below present reconciliations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

BB&T’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period. During the first nine months of 2011, BB&T transferred certain state and political subdivision securities out of Level 3 as a result of management’s decision to reclassify them from available for sale to held to maturity classification which is not recorded at fair value. During the first nine months of 2010, transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were the result of increased observable market activity for these securities. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfers of securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010. There were no significant transfers of securities between Level 1 and Level 2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

BB&T has investments in venture capital funds and other similar investments that are measured at fair value based on the investment’s net asset value. The significant investment strategies for these ventures are primarily equity and subordinated debt in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these investments are not redeemable and have varying dates for which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by distribution through 2021. As of September 30, 2011, restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. There were no investments probable of sale for less than net asset value at September 30, 2011.

The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes adjustments reducing the value $299 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $46 million for the three months September 30, 2011. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes an adjustment reducing the value $100 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $35 million. BB&T uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the derivative instruments produced gains of $329 million and $132 million, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes adjustments reducing the value $319 million and $327 million, respectively, and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $103 million and $97 million, respectively. The various derivative financial instruments used to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value produced gains of $349 million and $372 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded.

The following table details the fair value and unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 that were elected to be carried at fair value.

(1) The change in fair value is reflected in mortgage banking income.

BB&T may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 that were still held on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 totaled $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. The September 30, 2011 amount consists of $734 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $950 million of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. The December 31, 2010 amount consists of $705 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $1.3 billion of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T recorded $71 million and $65 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $103 million and $108 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of foreclosed real estate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T recorded $293 million and $480 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $274 million and $397 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of foreclosed real estate. These adjustments include periodic revaluations of the collateral underlying impaired loans and foreclosed real estate. The periodic revaluations are generally based on the appraised value of the property. BB&T’s policies require that valuations be updated at least annually and that upon foreclosure, the valuation must not be aged greater than six months old, otherwise an updated appraisal is required.

During 2010, BB&T transferred certain problem held for investment loans to loans held for sale. These loans were adjusted to the lower of cost or market on the date of transfer. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $26 million of loans held for sale are being valued on BB&T’s consolidated balance sheet at the lower of cost or market.

Additionally, accounting standards require the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in

48

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

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. For the financial instruments that BB&T does not record at fair value, estimates of fair value are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. Fair values are 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 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. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used by BB&T in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments.

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

Securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are deemed to be indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, internal credit risk models are used to adjust discount rates for risk migration and expected losses. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using a LIBOR based rate. 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. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. In addition, nonfinancial instruments such as core deposit intangibles are not recorded at fair value. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its customers through its deposit base and in the opinion of management, these items add significant value to BB&T.

Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and 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.

Contractual commitments: 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 rates. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated

49

based on the counterparties’ creditworthiness and average default rates for loan products with similar risks. The fair values of commitments to fund affordable housing investments are estimated using the net present value of future commitments.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of those financial assets and liabilities that BB&T has not recorded at fair value:

BB&T uses a variety of derivative instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risks. These instruments consist of interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities, foreign exchange contracts and options written and purchased. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. There are five areas of risk management: balance sheet management, mortgage banking operations, mortgage servicing rights, net investment in a foreign subsidiary and client-related and other risk management activities.

53

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

Cash Flow Hedges

BB&T’s floating rate business loans, overnight funding, FHLB advances, medium-term bank notes and long-term debt expose it to variability in cash flows for interest payments. The risk management objective for these floating rate assets and liabilities is to hedge the variability in the interest payments and receipts on future cash flows for forecasted transactions. These forecasted transactions include interest receipts on commercial loans and interest payments on 3 month LIBOR funding. All of BB&T’s current cash flow hedges are hedging exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on then existing financial instruments.

For a qualifying cash flow hedge, the portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives that has been highly effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings. If a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, the gain or loss in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to earnings over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring during the forecast period or within a short period thereafter, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings immediately. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T amortized approximately ($23) million and $26 million of unrecognized pre-tax gains (losses) from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net interest income.

At September 30, 2011, BB&T had $253 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), compared to $75 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses at December 31, 2010. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12 months is a loss totaling approximately $39 million. This includes active hedges and gains and losses related to hedges that were terminated early for which the forecasted transactions are still probable. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities.

All cash flow hedges were highly effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.

Fair Value Hedges

BB&T’s fixed rate long-term debt, certificates of deposit, FHLB advances, loan and state and political subdivision security assets result in exposure to losses in value as interest rates change. The risk management objective for hedging fixed rate assets and liabilities is to convert the fixed rate paid or received to a floating rate. BB&T accomplishes its risk management objective by hedging exposure to changes in fair value of fixed rate financial instruments primarily through the use of swaps. For a qualifying fair value hedge, changes in the value of the derivatives that have been highly effective as hedges are recognized in current period earnings along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T terminated certain fair value hedges primarily related to its long-term debt and received proceeds of $11 million and $152 million, respectively. When hedged debt/other financial instruments are retired or redeemed, the amounts associated with the hedge are included as a component of the gain or loss on termination. When a hedge is terminated but the hedged item remains outstanding, the proceeds from the termination of these hedges have been reflected as part of the carrying value of the underlying debt/other financial instrument and are being amortized to earnings over its estimated remaining life. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T recognized pre-tax benefits of $149 million and $47 million respectively through reductions of interest expense from previously unwound hedges.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

Derivatives not designated as a hedge include those that are entered into as either balance sheet risk management instruments or to facilitate client needs. Balance sheet risk management hedges are those hedges that do not qualify to be treated as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or a foreign currency hedge for accounting purposes, but are necessary to economically manage the risk associated with an asset or liability.

This category of hedges includes derivatives that hedge mortgage banking operations and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). For mortgage loans originated for sale, BB&T is exposed to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date. BB&T’s risk management strategy related to its interest rate lock commitment derivatives and loans held for sale includes using mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and options in order to mitigate market risk. For MSRs, BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in the fair value of its MSRs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, BB&T recorded a gain totaling $349 million related to these derivatives which was offset by a decrease in the carrying value of mortgage servicing assets totaling $319 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, BB&T recognized a $372 million gain on these derivatives, which was offset by a negative $327 million valuation adjustment related to the mortgage servicing asset.

BB&T also held, as risk management instruments, other derivatives not designated as hedges primarily to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients, as well as activities related to balance sheet management.

Net Investment Hedges

In connection with a long-term investment in a foreign subsidiary, BB&T is exposed to changes in the carrying value of its investment as a result of changes in the related foreign exchange rate. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T used derivatives to hedge the variability in the value of its $73 million investment. For net investment hedges, changes in value of qualifying hedges are deferred in other comprehensive income (loss) when the terms of the derivative match the notional and currency risk being hedged. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) reflected unrecognized after-tax losses totaling $10 million and $11 million, respectively, related to cumulative changes in the fair value of BB&T’s net investment hedge.

Derivatives Credit Risk

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. BB&T addresses the risk of loss by subjecting counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed certain negotiated limits.

As of September 30, 2011 BB&T had received cash collateral totaling $238 million related to derivatives in a gain position totaling $256 million and had posted collateral totaling $760 million including initial margin required by exchanges related to derivatives in a loss position totaling $700 million. As of December 31, 2010, BB&T had received cash collateral totaling $33 million, to cover derivatives in a gain position of similar value and had posted collateral totaling $605 million related to derivatives in a loss position totaling $612 million. In the event that BB&T’s credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted would have increased by $5 million and $10 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

After collateral postings are considered, BB&T had $18 million of unsecured positions in a gain with derivative dealers at September 30, 2011 and had collateral sufficient to secure derivatives in a gain at

55

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

December 31, 2010. All of the derivative contracts to which BB&T is a party settle monthly, quarterly or semiannually. In the case of contracts with derivative dealers, BB&T only transacts with dealers that are national market makers with strong credit ratings. Further, BB&T has netting agreements with the dealers with which it does business. Because of these factors, BB&T’s credit risk exposure related to derivative dealers at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was not material.

NOTE 16. Computation of Earnings Per Share

BB&T’s basic and diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the number of anti-dilutive awards was 42.5 million and 37.1 million shares, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the number of anti-dilutive awards was 41.0 million and 32.8 million shares, respectively.

NOTE 17. Operating Segments

BB&T’s operations are divided into seven reportable business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Sales Finance, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services, Financial Services 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 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 strategies. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP. The performance of the

56

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Third Quarter 2011

segments is not 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.

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. During the first quarter of 2011, we refined the process related to the allocated provision for loan and lease losses between the Company’s operating segments. This process refinement was designed to achieve a higher degree of correlation between the allocated provision and the GAAP basis provision at the segment level, while at the same time providing management with a measure of operating performance that gives appropriate consideration to the risks inherent in each of the Company’s operating segments.

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a description of internal accounting policies and the basis of segmentation, including a description of the segments presented in the accompanying tables.

The following tables disclose selected financial information with respect to BB&T’s reportable business segments for the periods indicated:

from time to time, in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, BB&T undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

Regulatory Considerations

BB&T and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to numerous examinations by federal and state banking regulators, as well as the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and various state insurance and securities regulators. BB&T and its subsidiaries have from time to time received requests for information from regulatory authorities in various states, including state insurance commissions and state attorneys general, securities regulators and other regulatory authorities, concerning their business practices. Such requests are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional disclosures with respect to laws and regulations affecting the Company’s businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T Corporation and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. BB&T’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in BB&T’s consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations and related disclosures. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include BB&T’s accounting for the allowance for credit losses, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments associated with mergers and acquisitions, costs and benefit obligations associated with BB&T’s pension and postretirement benefit plans, and income taxes. Understanding BB&T’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding BB&T’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, BB&T’s significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Additional discussions regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” included herein.

The following is a summary of BB&T’s critical accounting policies that are highly dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments. These critical accounting policies are reviewed with the Audit Committee of BB&T’s Board of Directors on a periodic basis.

Allowance for Credit Losses

It is the policy of BB&T to maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments that represent management’s best estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. Estimates for loan and lease losses are determined by analyzing historical loan and lease losses, historical loan and lease migration to charge-off experience, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, expected cash flows on purchased loans, current assessment of problem loans and leases, the results of regulatory examinations, and changes in the size, composition and risk assessment of the loan and lease

62

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

portfolio. For restructured loans, re-default expectations and estimated slower prepayment speeds are incorporated in the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Also included in management’s estimates for loan and lease losses are considerations with respect to the impact of current economic events, the outcomes of which are uncertain. These events may include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in overall interest rates, political conditions, legislation that may directly or indirectly affect the banking industry and economic conditions affecting specific geographical areas and industries in which BB&T conducts business. The methodology used to determine an estimate for the reserve for unfunded lending commitments is inherently similar to the methodology used in calculating the allowance for loans and leases adjusted for factors specific to binding commitments, including the probability of funding and exposure at the time of funding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A significant portion of BB&T’s assets and certain liabilities are financial instruments carried at fair value. This includes securities available for sale, trading securities, derivatives, certain loans held for sale, residential mortgage servicing rights, certain short-term borrowings and venture capital investments. At September 30, 2011, the percentage of total assets and total liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis was 18.1% and approximately 1%, respectively. The vast majority of assets and liabilities carried at fair value are based on either quoted market prices or market prices for similar instruments. At September 30, 2011, 6.7% of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were based on significant unobservable inputs. This is approximately 1% of BB&T’s total assets. See Note 14 “Fair Value Disclosures” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments.

Securities

The fair values for available-for-sale and trading securities are generally based upon quoted market prices or observable market prices for similar instruments. BB&T generally utilizes a third-party pricing service in determining the fair value of its securities portfolio. The pricing service uses observable inputs when available including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers. These values take into account recent market activity as well as other market observable data such as interest rate, spread and prepayment information. When market observable data is not available, which generally occurs due to the lack of liquidity for certain securities, the valuation of the security is subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management. As of September 30, 2011, BB&T had approximately $1.1 billion of available-for-sale securities, which is less than 1% of total assets, valued using unobservable inputs. This total is almost entirely non-agency mortgage-backed securities that are covered by a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC.

BB&T periodically reviews available-for-sale securities with an unrealized loss. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. The purpose of the review is to consider the length of time and the extent to which the market value of a security has been below its amortized cost. The primary factors BB&T considers in determining whether an impairment is other-than-temporary are long-term expectations and recent experience regarding principal and interest payments, and BB&T’s intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell those securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

BB&T has a significant mortgage loan servicing portfolio and related mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). BB&T has two primary classes of MSRs for which it separately manages the economic risk: residential and commercial. Residential MSRs are primarily carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the

63

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

income statement effect of changes in fair value, due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, of its residential MSRs. MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. Accordingly, BB&T estimates the fair value of residential MSRs using an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation model to project MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The OAS model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. BB&T reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions in the OAS model to reflect market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing the MSR asset. When available, fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to observable market data and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, MSRs are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The value of MSRs is significantly affected by mortgage interest rates available in the marketplace, which influence mortgage loan prepayment speeds. In general, during periods of declining interest rates, the value of MSRs declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage-refinance activity. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of MSRs generally increases due to reduced refinance activity. Commercial MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or market and amortized over the estimated period that servicing income is expected to be received based on projections of the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. The amount and timing of servicing asset amortization is updated based on actual results and updated projections. In addition, BB&T has approximately $13 million of residential MSRs that are valued at the lower of cost or market. These MSRs are associated with government sponsored programs that have prepayment assumptions that are difficult to model, which make it difficult to hedge the associated risk.

Loans Held for Sale

BB&T originates certain mortgage loans to be sold to investors that are carried at fair value. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. Changes in the fair value are recorded as a component of mortgage banking income while mortgage loan origination costs for loans held for sale for which the Corporation elected the Fair Value Option are recognized in noninterest expense when incurred. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the economic effect of changes in fair value of the underlying loans.

In addition, as of September 30, 2011, BB&T held $26 million of commercial loans accounted for at the lower of cost or market in the loans held for sale portfolio. These are nonaccrual loans that were originated as loans held for investment and transferred to the loans held for sale portfolio based on management’s nonperforming asset disposition strategy.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

BB&T uses derivatives to manage various financial risks. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. BB&T mitigates the credit risk by subjecting counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans and other extensions of credit. In addition, certain counterparties are required to provide collateral to BB&T when their unsecured loss positions exceed certain negotiated limits. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments, is based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that BB&T does not expect to fund and includes the value attributable to the net servicing fee.

64

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

Venture Capital and Similar Investments

BB&T has venture capital and similar investments that are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these investments are recorded in other noninterest income each period. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated. As of September 30, 2011, BB&T had $276 million of these investments, which is less than 1% of total assets.

Intangible Assets

BB&T’s mergers and acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, BB&T is required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which often involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques, all of which are inherently subjective. The amortization of identified intangible assets is based upon the estimated economic benefits to be received, which is also subjective. Acquisitions typically result in goodwill, which is subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests based on the fair value of net assets acquired compared to their carrying value. Refer to Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a description of BB&T’s impairment testing process. The major assumptions used in the impairment testing process include the estimated future cash flows of each business unit and discount rates. Discount rates are unique to each business unit and are based upon the cost of capital specific to the industry in which the business unit operates. While the excess of fair value over carrying value of some reporting units narrowed during the economic downturn, the results of BB&T’s most recent annual goodwill impairment analysis indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value by at least 20%.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations

BB&T offers various pension plans and postretirement benefit plans to employees. The calculation of the obligations and related expenses under these plans requires the use of actuarial valuation methods and assumptions. Actuarial assumptions used in the determination of future values of plan assets and liabilities are subject to management judgment and may differ significantly if different assumptions are used. The discount rate assumption used to measure the postretirement benefit obligations is set by reference to published high-quality bond indices, as well as certain hypothetical spot-rate yield curves. These yield curves were constructed from the underlying bond price and yield data collected as of the plan’s measurement date and are represented by a series of annualized, individual discount rates with durations ranging from six months to thirty years. Each discount rate in the curve was derived from an equal weighting of the double A or higher bond universe, apportioned into distinct maturity groups. For durations where no bond maturities were available, the discount rates for these maturities were extrapolated based on historical relationships from observable data in similar markets. These indices and hypothetical curves give only an indication of the appropriate discount rate because the cash flows of the bonds comprising the indices and curves do not match the projected benefit payment stream of the plan precisely. For this reason, we also consider the individual characteristics of the plan, such as projected cash flow patterns and payment durations, when setting the discount rate.

Income Taxes

The calculation of BB&T’s income tax provision is complex and requires the use of estimates and judgments. As part of the Company’s analysis and implementation of business strategies, consideration is given

65

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

to the tax laws and regulations that apply to the specific facts and circumstances for any tax position under evaluation. For tax positions that are uncertain in nature, management determines whether the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. For tax positions that meet this threshold, management then estimates the amount of the tax benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Management closely monitors tax developments in order to evaluate the effect they may have on the Company’s overall tax position and the estimates and judgments used in determining the income tax provision and records adjustments as necessary.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $371 million, an increase of $152 million, or 69.4%, compared to $219 million earned during the third quarter of 2010. Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $366 million, an increase of $156 million, or 74.3%, compared to $210 million earned during the same period in 2010. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $0.52, compared to $0.30 for the same period in 2010, an increase of 73.3%. BB&T’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2011 produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.89% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 8.30% compared to prior year ratios of 0.56% and 4.91%, respectively.

Consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2011 totaled $932 million, an increase of $295 million, or 46.3%, compared to $637 million earned during the first nine months of 2010. Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2011 totaled $898 million, an increase of $290 million, or 47.7%, compared to $608 million earned during the same period in 2010. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $1.27, compared to $0.87 for the same period in 2010, an increase of 46.0%. BB&T’s results of operations for the first nine months of 2011 produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.78% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 7.05% compared to prior year ratios of 0.53% and 4.84%, respectively.

BB&T’s taxable-equivalent net interest income increased 7.9% compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increase in net interest income was due to lower deposits costs and a more favorable funding mix. The net interest margin was 4.09% for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010. Noninterest income declined 37.8% compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of decreases of $278 million from net securities gains and $61 million in mortgage banking income. In addition, FDIC loss share income was lower $61 million, due primarily to improved performance from covered loans. Noninterest expenses were up slightly in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the corresponding period of 2010. Noninterest expenses for third quarter of 2011 includes a pre-tax loss of $16 million from the sale of a leveraged lease transaction. Including $26 million of tax benefits from this transaction, the sale added approximately $10 million to net income for the third quarter of 2011.

Asset quality continued to show significant improvement during the third quarter of 2011. Total nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, were $3.0 billion at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $384 million, or 11.5%, compared to June 30, 2011. The decline this quarter is the sixth consecutive quarterly decline in nonperforming assets. The decline in nonperforming assets reflects a 12.1% decrease in inflows into nonaccrual status compared to the second quarter of 2011. In addition, foreclosed property declined 16.2% compared to the second quarter of 2011, as management began a more aggressive strategy to reduce the inventory of foreclosed property. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2011 declined $520 million, or 67.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2010, as improving credit resulted in lower provision expense. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2011 were $454 million lower than the third quarter of 2010 and the level of nonperforming assets, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing and the outlook for future credit losses continued to improve.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

BB&T’s total assets at September 30, 2011 were $167.7 billion, an increase of 6.7% compared to December 31, 2010. Total loans and leases at September 30, 2011 were $107.4 billion, a slight increase compared to the balance at year-end. Loan growth improved during the third quarter of 2011, as average loans held for investment grew 4.3% on annualized basis compared to the second quarter of 2011. The growth in average loans held for investment was broad based and led by a 7.5% annualized increased in commercial and industrial lending. The total securities portfolio increased $9.6 billion compared to December 31, 2010. Securities available for sale increased $1.5 billion and securities held to maturity increased $8.1 billion compared to the balances at December 31, 2010. The growth in held to maturity securities reflects a transfer of $8.3 billion during the first quarter of 2011 to mitigate possible negative impacts on its regulatory capital under the proposed Basel III capital guidelines. During the third quarter of 2011, BB&T purchased $5.3 billion in GNMA securities as part of a strategy to mitigate possible negative impacts under the proposed Basel III liquidity guidelines.

Deposits totaled $117.6 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of 9.7% compared to December 31, 2010. Noninterest-bearing deposits at September 30, 2011 increased $3.9 billion, or 19.0%, compared to December 31, 2010. Deposit growth accelerated during the third quarter of 2011, as part of management’s strategy related to complying with proposed Basel III liquidity guidelines. Management attracted high-quality money market and certificates of deposits from corporate and public funds clients. The cost of interest-bearing deposits continued to decline during the third quarter and was 0.65% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 0.72% for the second quarter of 2011. The deposit mix has continued to improve throughout 2011, with noninterest-bearing accounts representing 20.9% of total deposits at September 30, 2011, compared with 19.2% at December 31, 2010.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.0 billion, or 6.3%, compared to December 31, 2010. The Tier 1 common ratio was 9.8% and 9.1% at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, the Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.5% and 16.1% at September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 11.8% and 15.5%, respectively, at December 31, 2010. BB&T’s risk-based capital ratios remain well above regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks. As of September 30, 2011, measures of tangible capital were not required by the regulators and, therefore, were considered non-GAAP measures. Refer to the section titled “Capital Adequacy and Resources” herein for a discussion of how BB&T calculates and uses these measures in the evaluation of the Company.

On November 1, 2011, BB&T announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based BankAtlantic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp. Under the terms of the agreement, BB&T will acquire approximately $2.1 billion in loans and assume approximately $3.3 billion in deposits for an estimated premium of $301 million above the net asset value of BankAtlantic at closing. This represents a 9% deposit premium based on September 30, 2011 balances. The acquisition excludes all of BankAtlantic’s non-performing and other criticized assets identified at September 30, 2011. No BankAtlantic Bancorp obligations are being assumed in the transaction. The premium to be paid by BB&T is subject to adjustment based on actual deposit balances at close, but in no event will it exceed $316 million. Excluding one-time merger costs, BB&T expects the transaction to be accretive to earnings per share in 2012. The transaction was approved by the boards of directors of both companies. Federal and state regulatory approvals will be required.

BB&T also has recently announced the acquisitions of several insurance agencies. During the third quarter, BB&T announced the acquisitions of Liberty Benefit Insurance Services (“Liberty”) of San Jose, California and Atlantic Risk Management Corporation (“Atlantic Risk”) of Columbia, Maryland. Liberty is a full-service employee benefits broker that partners with large commercial clients to assist them with managing rising health care costs, changing regulations and complex benefits administration. Atlantic Risk is a commercial property and casualty and employee benefits broker that provides risk management consulting and a full array of business

insurance products and services. Early in the fourth quarter, BB&T announced the acquisition of the Precept Group, with offices in Irvine and San Mateo, California. Precept serves middle-market and large corporate clients, ranging from 50 to 50,000 employees, with benefits consulting, procurement, administration outsourcing, health management, retirement and online enrollment services.

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for additional information with respect to BB&T’s recent accomplishments and significant challenges. The factors causing the fluctuations in the major balance sheet and income statement categories for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 compared to the corresponding periods of 2010 are further discussed in the following sections.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

The total securities portfolio was $32.8 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of $9.6 billion compared with December 31, 2010. The majority of the growth in the securities portfolio occurred during the third quarter of 2011, when management purchased $5.3 billion in fixed and adjustable rate GNMA mortgage-backed securities as part of a strategy to comply with proposed Basel III liquidity guidelines. More than ninety-five percent of the securities portfolio is backed by government agencies or government sponsored entities. As of September 30, 2011, the weighted-average life of the securities portfolio was 3.9 years and the effective duration was 2.7 years. Approximately 28% of the securities portfolio consists of floating rate securities.

The securities portfolio includes $24.6 billion of available-for-sale securities and $8.1 billion of securities held to maturity. During the first quarter of 2011, BB&T reclassified approximately $8.3 billion from securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. Management determined that it has both the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The reclassification of these securities was accounted for at fair value. Management transferred these securities to mitigate possible negative impacts on its regulatory capital under the proposed Basel III capital guidelines.

Average securities for the third quarter of 2011 were $31.6 billion, an increase of $8.3 billion, or 35.6%, compared with the average balance during the third quarter of 2010. The increase in the average securities portfolio reflects management’s strategy to comply with the proposed Basel III liquidity guidelines. Average securities for the first nine months of 2011 were $27.9 billion, a decrease of 0.8%, compared to the average balance during the first nine months of 2010.

During the third quarter of 2011, BB&T recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges of $39 million on certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities. For the first nine months of 2011, BB&T realized $37 million of gains from the sale of securities and recognized $78 million of other-than-temporary impairment losses.

The annualized fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) yield on the average securities portfolio for the third quarter of 2011 was 2.68%, which represents a decrease of 110 basis points compared to the annualized yield earned during the third quarter of 2010. The annualized FTE yield on the average securities portfolio for the first nine months of 2011 was 2.63%, which represents a decrease of 151 basis points compared to the annualized yield earned during the first nine months of 2010. The decreases in the annualized FTE yield on the average securities portfolio were a result of management’s efforts to deleverage and de-risk the portfolio during 2010. The securities purchased included floating rate and other securities with lower yields.

On September 30, 2011, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. The vast majority of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and

municipal securities. At September 30, 2011, all of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, excluding those covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, were investment grade with the exception of two municipal bonds with an amortized cost of $8 million and ten non-agency mortgage-backed securities with an adjusted amortized cost of $469 million. At September 30, 2011, the total unrealized loss on these non-investment grade securities was $79 million. All of the non-investment grade securities referenced above were initially investment grade and have been downgraded since purchase.

See Note 2 “Securities” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment.

Loans and Leases

BB&T emphasizes commercial lending to small and medium-sized businesses, consumer lending, mortgage lending and specialized lending with an overall goal of maximizing the profitability of the loan portfolio while maintaining strong asset quality. For the third quarter of 2011, average total loans were $105.7 billion, an increase of $903 million, or 0.9%, compared to the same period in 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, average total loans were $105.1 billion, an increase of $703 million, or 0.7%, compared to the same period in 2010.

The following table presents the composition of average loans and leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

Average commercial and industrial loans were up 6.5% and 6.3% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2010. The increase in the commercial and industrial portfolio is largely a result of management’s focused efforts at growing this component of the loan portfolio. Average commercial real estate—residential, acquisition and development loans (“ADC”) declined $1.8 billion and $2.1 billion for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010. The decline in this portfolio reflects management’s decision to lower exposures to higher-risk real estate lending. The balance of the ADC portfolio was $2.4 billion as of September 30, 2011. Average commercial real estate—other loans for the third quarter of 2011 declined 8.2% compared to the third quarter of 2010 and 7.8% for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. The decline in this portfolio is primarily related to lower demand for commercial real estate loans.

Average direct retail loans declined 0.8% and 2.3% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2010. This portfolio is primarily home equity loans and lines to individuals and has been negatively affected by the downturn in the residential real estate markets. In addition, the residential lot/land component of this portfolio has been declining, as management continues to reduce exposures to these types of loans. Demand for home equity loans improved during the second quarter of 2011 and continued into the third quarter. Average direct retail loans increased 3.6%, on an annualized basis, compared to the second quarter of 2011. This growth was primarily due to increased demand for home equity loans and an increase in small business lending.

Average residential mortgage loans held for investment increased $3.0 billion, or 18.9%, for the third quarter and $2.7 billion, or 17.5%, for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the corresponding periods of 2010. The vast majority of new residential mortgage originations were being sold in the secondary market until the third quarter of 2010 when BB&T began to retain a portion of its 10 to 15 year fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage production. Mortgage applications were up 87% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter, due to the historic low-rate environment.

70

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

Average sales finance loans increased 4.7% and 7.2% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2010 as prime automobile lending continues to perform well.

Average specialized lending loans increased 7.5% and 5.7% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2010. The growth in the specialized lending portfolio was primarily in small ticket finance, nonprime automobile financing and equipment leasing.

Average loans held for sale decreased $634 million, or 26.3%, for the third quarter compared to the same period in 2010. Average loans held for sale increased $29 million, or 1.5%, for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily because the current year includes commercial loan balances related to management’s nonperforming asset disposition strategy.

The annualized FTE yield for the total loan portfolio for the third quarter of 2011 was 5.91% compared to 5.96% in the third quarter of 2010. The annualized FTE yield on the total loan portfolio for the first nine months of 2011 was 5.93%, which reflects an increase of 8 basis points compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in the FTE yield on the total loan portfolio for the first nine months of 2011 was primarily the result of the loans acquired in the Colonial acquisition, which have produced higher yields due to higher expected cash flows based on the quarterly cash flow reassessment process required by acquisition accounting. A significant portion of the increased yield is offset by a decrease in FDIC loss share income.

Average total loans held for investment increased an annualized 4.3% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2011. Management currently expects average total loans held for investment to increase in the range of 4% to 6% annualized for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter, contingent on overall economic conditions remaining relatively stable.

At September 30, 2011, approximately $791 million of BB&T’s construction loan portfolio, excluding covered loans, have active interest reserves (i.e., current funding of interest charges through a reserve). Interest income related to loans with active interest reserves totaled approximately $23 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which represented less than 1% of total interest income. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a discussion of the purpose and use of interest reserves.

Other Interest-Earning Assets

Average other interest-earning assets totaled $4.0 billion for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $3.0 billion for the same period of 2010. The increase in average other interest-earning assets included an increase of $1.6 billion in average balance due from the Federal Reserve which was partially offset by declines in average interest-bearing deposits of $245 million and average securities purchased under resale agreements of $118 million compared to the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, average other interest-earning assets increased 12.8% compared to the same period of 2010. The average yield on other interest-earning assets was 0.51% for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 0.54% for the third quarter of 2010. The average yield on other interest-earning assets was 0.63% for the first nine months of 2011, compared to 0.55% for the same period in 2010.

Noninterest-Earning Assets

BB&T’s other noninterest-earning assets, including premises and equipment, goodwill, core deposit and other intangible assets, residential mortgage servicing rights, FDIC loss share receivable and noninterest-bearing cash and due from banks, decreased $896 million from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011. The decline in this category was primarily due to a reduction in the FDIC loss share receivable of $701 million and a decline in residential mortgage servicing rights of $257 million.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $117.6 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of $10.4 billion, or 9.7%, from December 31, 2010. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $24.6 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of $3.9 billion, or 19.0%, from December 31, 2010. Foreign deposits—interest-bearing, which are primarily Eurodollar deposits declined $4.5 billion compared to December 31, 2010, as the strong deposit growth limited the need for these types of funding sources.

The following table presents the composition of average deposits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Total average deposits	$	109,080		100.0	%	$	107,171		100.0	%

Average deposits for the third quarter of 2011 increased $11.6 billion, or 11.2%, compared to the same period in 2010. The categories of deposits with the highest growth for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 were money market and savings, which increased $7.5 billion, or 21.5%; interest checking, which was up $3.3 billion, or 21.0%; and noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased $3.3 billion, or 16.3%. Growth in average noninterest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2011 was led by commercial accounts, which grew $2.4 billion. In addition, average noninterest-bearing retail accounts and public funds grew $539 million and $343 million, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2010. Average growth in interest-bearing deposits was also led by commercial accounts, which were higher $8.7 billion compared to the third quarter of 2010, followed by public funds, which grew $4.1 billion. The significant growth in commercial interest-bearing deposits primarily reflects management’s effort to attract high-quality corporate clients in connection with meeting the proposed Basel III liquidity guidelines. Retail interest-bearing deposits declined $4.3 billion, as higher cost certificates of deposit were not renewed.

72

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

Average deposits for the first nine months of 2011 increased $1.9 billion, or 1.8%, compared to the first nine months of 2010. The categories of deposits with the highest growth for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 were money market and savings, which increased $5.6 billion, or 16.3%, and noninterest-bearing deposits which increased $2.9 billion, or 14.9%. Certificates and other time deposits decreased $7.9 billion, or 22.3%, compared to the average for the first nine months of 2010. The decline in certificates of deposit during this time period primarily reflects higher-cost retail accounts that were not renewed.

The overall mix of deposits continues to improve, as noninterest-bearing deposits represented 20.9% of total deposits at September 30, 2011, compared to 19.2% at December 31, 2010. The average rate for interest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2011 was 0.65% compared to 1.07% for the same period in the prior year, reflecting the runoff of higher-rate certificates of deposit and growth in other lower-cost client deposits.

Borrowings

While deposits remain the primary source for funding loan originations and other balance sheet growth, BB&T uses short-term borrowings as a supplementary funding source. Short-term borrowings used by BB&T may include Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, master notes, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury tax and loan deposit notes and short-term bank notes. All of BB&T’s securities sold under repurchase agreements are reflected as collateralized borrowings on the balance sheet. At September 30, 2011, short-term borrowings totaled $4.0 billion, a decrease of $1.7 billion, or 30.3%, compared to December 31, 2010. The decrease in these borrowings compared to December 31, 2010 primarily reflects growth in deposits and the issuance of long-term debt, which has reduced the Corporation’s reliance on short-term funding.

BB&T also uses long-term debt to provide both funding, and to a lesser extent, regulatory capital. Long-term debt consists of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to Branch Bank, corporate senior and subordinated notes, senior and subordinated notes issued by Branch Bank, and junior subordinated debentures issued by BB&T. Long-term debt totaled $22.2 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of $423 million, or 1.9%, from the balance at December 31, 2010. The increase in long-term debt reflects the issuance of $1 billion of senior notes in March 2011, with an interest rate of 3.20% due March 2016, $700 million in senior notes in April 2011, with an interest rate of 2.05% due April 2014 and $300 million in senior notes in April 2011, with a floating interest rate due April 2014. The proceeds from these issuances are being used for general corporate funding purposes. These issuances were partially offset by the maturities of $250 million of senior notes, $611 million of subordinated notes and $939 million of FHLB advances.

For the third quarter of 2011, the average annualized FTE rate paid on short-term borrowings was 0.31% compared to 0.32% during the third quarter of 2010. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt for the third quarter of 2011 was 3.22% compared to 3.98% for the same period in 2010. The average annualized rate paid on short-term borrowed funds was 0.28% for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010. The average annualized rate on long-term debt for the first nine months of 2011 was 3.44% compared to 3.91% for the same period in 2010. The decline in the average rate paid on long-term debt reflects new issuances at lower rates and the positive impact of accelerated amortization from certain derivatives that were unwound in a gain position. The benefits from the derivatives gains are being amortized over the remaining expected life of the respective debt.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2011 was $17.5 billion, an increase of 6.3% compared to December 31, 2010. BB&T’s book value per common share at September 30, 2011 was $25.07, compared to $23.67 at December 31, 2010.

73

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

BB&T’s tangible shareholders’ equity available to common shareholders was $11.4 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of $736 million, or 6.9%, compared to December 31, 2010. BB&T’s tangible book value per common share at September 30, 2011 was $16.42 compared to $15.43 at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, measures of tangible capital were not required by the regulators and, therefore, were considered non-GAAP measures. Refer to the section titled “Capital Adequacy and Resources” herein for a discussion of how BB&T calculates and uses these measures in the evaluation of the Company.

Asset Quality

BB&T’s lending strategy focuses on relationship-based lending within its markets. BB&T has continued to work with its clients that have experienced financial difficulties throughout the economic recession. During the second quarter of 2010, management implemented a nonperforming asset disposition strategy with a goal of more aggressively reducing BB&T’s exposure to nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties and to reduce or eliminate any delay in exiting the credit cycle. The strategy was implemented during the second quarter of 2010 as management believed that pricing for distressed assets had improved. This strategy continued throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2010 and into 2011. A total of $1.9 billion in unpaid principal balances in commercial loans were transferred into held for sale under the nonperforming asset disposition strategy during 2010. Of this amount, only $89 million remains to be sold at September 30, 2011 with a carrying value of $26 million. The life-to-date loss percentage on commercial loans sold that were part of this strategy was 54%. BB&T recorded losses and write-downs on commercial loans of $138 million during the first nine months of 2011 in connection with this program. In addition, management identified and sold $271 million of problem residential mortgage loans during the second quarter of 2011. A charge-off of $87 million was recognized when these loans were transferred to loans held for sale.

During the third quarter, management began a more aggressive strategy to reduce its level of foreclosed real estate. The strategy produced a higher level of foreclosed property expense during the third quarter of 2011 as compared with the second quarter of 2011, due to additional liquidity discounts applied to the inventory. In addition, inflows declined 52.8% compared to the second quarter of 2011, as management disposed of loans through short-sales and other third party sales rather than pursuing foreclosure. The current inventory of foreclosed property, excluding amounts covered under FDIC loss sharing agreements, totaled $950 million as of September 30, 2011. This includes land and lots, which totaled $517 million and had been held for approximately 15 months on average. The remaining foreclosed real estate of $433 million, which is primarily single family residential and commercial real estate, had an average holding period of 10 months.

Substantially all of the loans acquired in the Colonial acquisition are covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, whereby the FDIC reimburses BB&T for the majority of the losses incurred. In addition, all of the loans acquired were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date without regard to the loss sharing agreements. Loans were evaluated and assigned to loan pools based on common risk characteristics. The determination of the fair value of the loans resulted in a significant write-down in the carrying amount of the loans. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, there was no allowance brought forward on any of the acquired loans, as the credit losses evident in the loans were included in the determination of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. Charge-offs are recognized for these loans when the actual losses exceed the estimated losses used in determining the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. All of the loans acquired in the Colonial acquisition were considered to be accruing loans as of the acquisition date. In accordance with regulatory reporting standards, covered loans that are contractually past due will continue to be reported as past due and still accruing based on the number of days past due.

Given the significant amount of acquired loans that are past due but still accruing, BB&T believes the inclusion of these loans in certain asset quality ratios including “Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing as a

74

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

percentage of total loans and leases,” “Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as a percentage of total loans and leases,” “Nonperforming loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases” and certain other asset quality ratios that reflect nonperforming assets in the numerator or denominator (or both) results in significant distortion to these ratios. In addition, because loan level charge-offs related to the acquired loans are not recognized in the financial statements until the cumulative amounts exceed the original loss projections on a pool basis, the net charge-off ratio for the acquired loans is not consistent with the net charge-off ratio for other loan portfolios. The inclusion of these loans in the asset quality ratios described above could result in a lack of comparability across quarters or years, and could negatively impact comparability with other portfolios that were not impacted by acquisition accounting. BB&T believes that the presentation of asset quality measures excluding covered loans and related amounts from both the numerator and denominator provides better perspective into underlying trends related to the quality of its loan portfolio. Accordingly, the asset quality measures in Table 4-2 present asset quality information both on a consolidated basis as well as excluding the covered assets and related amounts. In addition, BB&T has excluded mortgage loans that are guaranteed by the government, primarily FHA/VA loans, from its asset quality metrics as these loans are recoverable through various government guarantees. Finally, BB&T has recorded on the balance sheet certain amounts related to delinquent GNMA loans serviced for others that BB&T has the option, but not the obligation, to repurchase and has effectively regained control. These amounts are also excluded from asset quality metrics as reimbursement of insured amounts is proceeding in accordance with investor guidelines. The amount of government guaranteed mortgage loans and GNMA loans serviced for others that have been excluded are noted in the footnotes to Table 4-1.

Nonperforming assets, which are composed of foreclosed real estate, repossessions, nonaccrual loans and certain restructured loans, totaled $3.3 billion (or $3.0 billion excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) at September 30, 2011, compared to $4.3 billion (or $4.0 billion excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) at December 31, 2010. The decrease in nonperforming assets included decreases of $687 million in nonperforming loans and $309 million in foreclosed real estate. As a percentage of loans and leases plus foreclosed property, nonperforming assets were 3.05% at September 30, 2011 (or 2.88% excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) compared with 3.94% (or 3.88% excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) at December 31, 2010.

Nonperforming assets, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, declined $384 million, or 11.5%, compared to June 30, 2011. Inflows of nonaccrual loans were $685 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $780 million in the prior quarter, a decrease of 12.1%. During the third quarter of 2011, BB&T disposed of $213 million of foreclosed property and $239 million of nonaccrual commercial loans through sales or short sales. This net increase was offset by a decrease of $617 million, primarily from charge-offs, write-downs and payments. Management currently expects nonperforming assets to continue to decrease on a sequential quarter basis by 5% to 10% for the fourth quarter assuming relative stability in the overall economy.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, excluding government guaranteed loans and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, totaled $187 million at September 30, 2011, compared with $295 million at year-end 2010, a decline of 36.6%. The balance of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest is at its lowest point since the third quarter of 2007. Loans 30-89 days past due, excluding government guaranteed loans and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, totaled $1.1 billion at September 30, 2011, which was a decline of $351 million, or 24.9%, compared with $1.4 billion at year-end 2010. The decline in loans past due was due to improving trends across all loan portfolios. Past due loans are essentially at normalized levels similar to 2006 results. BB&T’s net charge-offs totaled $419 million for the third quarter of 2011 and amounted to 1.57% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 1.44% excluding covered loans), compared to $873 million, or 3.31% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 3.54% excluding covered loans), in the corresponding period in 2010. Included in net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2011 is $53 million of charge-offs related to covered loans. This represents realized losses in certain acquired loan pools

that exceed the amounts originally estimated at the acquisition date. This impairment, which is subject to the loss sharing agreements, was provided for in prior quarters and therefore the charge-off had no income statement impact. The third quarter of 2010 included net-charge offs of $431 million in connection with the transfer of loans to held for sale.

The allowance for credit losses, which totaled $2.4 billion and $2.8 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses, which is presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to 2.25% of loans and leases held for investment at September 30, 2011 (or 2.25% excluding covered loans), compared to 2.62% (or 2.63% excluding covered loans) at year-end 2010. The decline in the allowance for loan and lease losses reflects continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio, especially in the commercial portfolio segment due to improvement in migration trends and reductions in higher-risk commercial real estate loans. Impaired commercial loans continue to decline; however, the allowance as a percentage of impaired commercial loans has increased from 11.2% at December 31, 2010 to 12.6% at September 30, 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans held for investment, excluding covered loans, increased from 1.14x at June 30, 2011 to 1.15x at September 30, 2011. Refer to Note 4 “Allowance for Credit Losses” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional disclosures.

The following table presents an estimated allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. This allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated on an approximate basis and is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire amount of the allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in any category of loans and leases.

Appropriate adjustments to the numerator and denominator have been reflected in the calculation of these ratios. Management believes the inclusion of covered loans in certain asset quality ratios that include nonperforming assets, past due loans or net charge-offs in the numerator or denominator results in distortion of these ratios and they may not be comparable to other periods presented or to other portfolios that were not impacted by purchase accounting.

(4) Excluding the impact of losses and balances associated with BB&T’s NPA disposition strategy, the adjusted net charge-offs ratio would have been 1.46%, 2.07% and 1.80% for the second quarter 2011, and the fourth and third quarters of 2010, respectively. The adjusted net charge-off ratio would have been 1.52% and 1.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Troubled debt restructurings (“restructurings”) generally occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term. As a result, BB&T will work with the borrower to prevent further difficulties, and ultimately to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted resulting in classification of the loan as a restructuring. One of the ways BB&T works with its borrowers is through government sponsored modification programs. To the extent that a borrower is required to meet certain criteria over a specified time period (i.e., a “trial period”) in order to qualify for a modification, the resulting permanent

82

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

modification is evaluated to determine if a restructuring has occurred at the conclusion of the trial period. The recorded investment of loans with modifications subject to a trial period at September 30, 2011 was approximately $20 million.

Restructurings can involve loans remaining on nonaccrual, moving to nonaccrual, or continuing on accruing status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. In circumstances where the restructuring involves charging off a portion of the loan balance, BB&T typically classifies these restructurings as nonaccrual. With respect to commercial restructurings, an analysis of the credit evaluation, in conjunction with an evaluation of the borrower’s performance prior to the restructuring, are considered when evaluating the borrower’s ability to meet the restructured terms of the loan agreement. Restructured nonaccrual loans may be returned to accrual status based on a current, well-documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment under the modified terms. This evaluation must include consideration of the borrower’s sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable period (generally a minimum of six months) prior to the date on which the loan is returned to accrual status. Sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable time prior to the restructuring may be taken into account. Performing restructurings may be removed from being reported as restructurings upon meeting certain criteria. The credit must perform in accordance with the modified terms (generally a minimum of six months), must be reported as a restructuring over a year end reporting period and the interest rate on the modified credit must have been a market rate at the date of modification.

In connection with consumer loan restructurings, a nonperforming loan will be returned to accruing status when current as to principal and interest and upon a sustained historical repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months).

BB&T’s performing restructured loans, excluding government guaranteed mortgage loans, totaled $1.1 billion at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $409 million, or 27.7%, compared with December 31, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, commercial performing restructured loan inflows totaled $95 million. These inflows were offset by $509 million in outflows. Management expects continued declines in restructured loans.

Consistent with BB&T’s belief that the presentation of certain asset quality measures excluding the impact of covered loans is more meaningful, certain information reflected in Tables 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3 has been adjusted to exclude the impact of covered loans and foreclosed property. These adjustments have been identified and explained in the footnotes to each table.

(1) Commercial real estate loans (“CRE”) are defined as loans to finance non-owner occupied real property where the primary repayment source is the sale or rental/lease of the real property. Definition is based on internal classification. Excludes covered loans and in process items.

(2) Includes net charge-offs and average balances related to loans transferred to held for sale while they were held for investment. Loans transferred to held for sale are excluded from total loans outstanding. As of September 30, 2011, there were $11 million ADC loans and $11 million other CRE loans held for sale. All of the held for sale ADC and Other CRE loans are on nonaccrual status.

(3) C&I loans secured by real property are excluded.

The commercial real estate-residential ADC loans held for investment portfolio totaled $2.4 billion at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $983 million from December 31, 2010. Nonaccrual ADC loans held for investment were $428 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $85 million, compared to $513 million at December 31, 2010. As previously mentioned, during the second quarter of 2010, management transferred a group of nonaccrual loans to the loans held for sale category. As of September 30, 2011, there were $11 million of nonaccrual ADC loans remaining in the held for sale category, a decrease of $228 million compared with $239 million at December 31, 2010. As a percentage of loans held for investment, ADC nonaccruals were 17.72% at September 30, 2011, compared to 15.09% at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan and lease losses that is assigned to the ADC portfolio was 13.6% and 13.8% of the ADC portfolio as of September 30, 2011 and year-end 2010, respectively. The gross charge-off rate for the ADC portfolio, on an annualized basis, was 9.39% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 10.71% for the second quarter of 2011 and 13.86% for the full–year 2010. The other component of the commercial real estate portfolio, which is largely office buildings, hotels, warehouses, apartments, rental houses and shopping centers, totaled $10.9 billion at September 30, 2011. As a percentage of loans held for investment, other commercial real estate nonaccruals were 4.01% at September 30, 2011, compared with 3.53% at December 31, 2010. There were $11 million of nonaccrual other commercial real estate loans in the held for sale category at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $157 million compared with the amount at December 31, 2010. The gross charge-off rate for the other commercial real estate portfolio, on an annualized basis, was 2.32% for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 2.87% for the second quarter of 2011 and 3.83% for the full year 2010.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

The residential mortgage loan portfolio, as presented in Table 5-2, totaled $19.5 billion as of September 30, 2011, an increase of 9.8% compared to December 31, 2010. As a percentage of loans, nonaccrual residential mortgage loans were 1.62% at September 30, 2011, compared with 2.72% at December 31, 2010. The gross charge-off rate for the residential mortgage loan portfolio, on an annualized basis, was 0.94% for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 2.85% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2.50% for the full–year 2010. The decline in nonaccrual residential mortgage loans and the lower charge-off rate reflect the sale of problem loans completed during the second quarter of 2011. During the second quarter of 2011, management sold approximately $271 million of problem residential mortgage loans and recorded charge-offs of $87 million. Of the $271 million of loans sold, $231 million were classified as nonaccrual.

Certain of BB&T’s residential mortgage loans have an initial period where the borrower is only required to pay the periodic interest. After the initial period, the loan will require both the payment of interest and principal over the remaining term. As of September 30, 2011, approximately 13% of the outstanding balance of residential mortgage loans is currently in the interest-only phase. Approximately 10% of these balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. As of September 30, 2011, 4.5% of these interest-only loans are 30 days or more past due and still accruing interest and 2.3% are on nonaccrual status.

(2) Home equity lines without an outstanding balance are excluded from this calculation.

(3) Based on number of accounts.

The direct retail consumer real estate loan portfolio, as presented in Table 5-3, totaled $12.8 billion as of September 30, 2011, a slight increase from December 31, 2010. This portfolio is composed of residential lot/land loans, home equity loans and home equity lines, which are primarily originated through the Community Banking network. As a percentage of loans, direct retail consumer real estate nonaccruals were 1.17% at September 30, 2011, compared to 1.46% at December 31, 2010. The gross charge-off rate for the direct retail consumer real estate lending portfolio was an annualized 2.05% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 1.87% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2.32% for the full–year 2010. The allowance for the residential lot/land portfolio was 7.5% of the residential lot/land portfolio as of September 30, 2011 compared to 7.3% at December 31, 2010.

BB&T’s home equity lines generally require the payment of interest-only during the first 15 years after origination. After this initial period, the outstanding balance begins amortizing and requires both the payment of interest and principal. As of September 30, 2011, approximately 66% of the outstanding balance of home equity lines is currently in the interest-only phase. Less than 5% of these balances will begin amortizing within the next three years. The delinquency rate of interest-only lines is similar to amortizing lines.

BB&T monitors the performance of its home equity loans and lines secured by second liens similar to other consumer loans and utilizes assumptions specific to these loans in determining the necessary allowance. BB&T also receives notification when the first lien holder, whether BB&T or another financial institution, has initiated foreclosure proceedings against the borrower. When notified that the first lien is in the process of foreclosure, BB&T obtains valuations to determine if any additional charge-offs or reserves are warranted. These valuations are updated at least annually thereafter. In addition, BB&T estimates the volume of second lien positions where the first lien is delinquent and appropriately adjusts the allowance to reflect the increased risk of loss on these credits. Finally, BB&T also provides additional reserves to second lien positions when the estimated combined current loan to value ratio for the credit exceeds 100%.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $371 million, an increase of $152 million, or 69.4%, compared to $219 million earned during the third quarter of 2010. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $366 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.52 in the third quarter. Net income available to common shareholders for the same period of 2010 totaled $210 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.30. BB&T’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2011 produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.89% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 8.30%, compared to prior year returns of 0.56% and 4.91%, respectively.

Consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2011 totaled $932 million, an increase of $295 million, or 46.3%, compared to $637 million earned during the first nine months of 2010. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $898 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $1.27. Net income available to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2010 totaled $608 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.87. BB&T’s results of operations for the first nine months of 2011 produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.78% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 7.05%, compared to prior year returns of 0.53% and 4.84%, respectively.

The following table sets forth selected financial ratios for the last five calendar quarters.

Net interest margin (taxable equivalent)		4.09			4.15			4.01			4.04			4.09

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis was $1.5 billion for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 7.9% compared to the same period in 2010. For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, average earning assets increased $10.3 billion, or 7.8%, compared to the same period of 2010, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $5.7 billion, or 5.1%, and the net interest margin was 4.09% in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010. The net interest margin remained stable compared to the third quarter of 2010 due to lower funding costs offsetting lower yields on new loans and securities. In addition, the net interest margin has benefited from higher yields on covered assets acquired in the Colonial acquisition due to better performance. The cost of long-term debt declined in the third quarter of 2011 due to new issuances issued at lower rates and the positive impact of accelerated amortization from certain derivatives that were unwound in a gain position. The benefits from the derivatives gains are being amortized over the remaining expected life of the respective debt. Management expects the net interest margin to be in the 4.00% area for the fourth quarter of 2011.

For the first nine months of 2011, net interest income on an FTE basis was $4.2 billion, an increase of $79 million, or 1.9%, compared to the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, average earning assets increased $839 million, or 0.6%, compared to the same period of 2010, while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $3.3 billion, or 2.8%, and the net interest margin increased 5 basis points from 4.03% in

The growth in net interest income was primarily the result of a higher net interest margin, which has benefited from higher yields on loans and securities from the Colonial acquisition, a more favorable funding mix, lower cost of funds and wider credit spreads.

The following table provides information related to covered and acquired loans, covered securities and the FDIC loss sharing asset recognized in the Colonial acquisition. The table excludes all amounts related to other assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

Interest income for the third quarter of 2011 on loans and securities acquired in the Colonial acquisition increased $38 million compared to the third quarter of 2010, which was offset by a decrease in FDIC loss share income. Interest income for the first nine months of 2011 on loans and securities acquired in the Colonial acquisition increased $184 million compared to the same period of 2010. The majority of the increase is related to loans and reflects higher expected cash flows based on the quarterly cash flow reassessment process. The yield on covered and other acquired loans for the third quarter of 2011 was 20.41% compared to 14.77% in 2010. At September 30, 2011, the accretable yield balance on these loans was $2.1 billion. Accretable yield represents the excess of future cash flows above the current net carrying amount of loans and will be recognized into income over the remaining life of the covered and acquired loans. The increase in interest income on securities compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year was primarily a result of security duration adjustments in the prior year, which is offset in FDIC loss share income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, BB&T reclassified $372 million and $793 million, respectively, from the nonaccretable balance to accretable yield for purchased nonimpaired loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, BB&T reclassified $114 million and $405 million, respectively, from the nonaccretable balance to accretable yield for purchased impaired loans. These reclassifications were primarily the result of increased cash flow estimates resulting from improved loss expectations. These amounts are recognized as prospective yield adjustments and result in increased interest income over the remaining lives of the loan pools.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

The provision for covered loans was $7 million in the current quarter, a decrease of $20 million compared to the third quarter of 2010. The third quarter of 2011 reassessment showed decreases in expected cash flows in certain loan pools that were partially offset by recoveries in other previously impaired loan pools. For the first nine months of 2011, the provision on covered loans totaled $22 million compared to $44 million for the same period of 2010.

FDIC loss share income, net decreased $61 million compared to the third quarter of 2010. FDIC loss share income, net for the first nine months of 2011 decreased $127 million compared to the same period of 2010 primarily as a result of the impact of cash flow reassessments that resulted in additional interest income and a reduction of amounts due from the FDIC as a result of decreased loss projections on covered loans.

The following table sets forth the major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields and rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010, as well as the variances between the periods caused by changes in interest rates versus changes in volumes. Changes attributable to the mix of assets and liabilities have been allocated proportionally between the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $250 million (including $7 million for covered loans) for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $770 million (including $27 million for covered loans) for the third quarter of 2010. The provision for credit losses totaled $918 million for the first nine months of 2011 (including $22 million for covered loans) compared to $2.0 billion (including $44 million for covered loans) for the same period in 2010. Overall, the provision for credit losses declined due to improving credit trends and outlook, as net charge-offs were down 52.0% compared to the third quarter of 2010 and 36.3% compared to the nine months of 2010. The largest decreases in the provision for credit losses compared to the third quarter of 2010 were for commercial loans and residential mortgage loans. Nonperforming assets decreased by 25.2% compared to December 31, 2010, the sixth consecutive quarter of declines.

Net charge-offs were 1.57% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 1.44% excluding covered loans) for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 3.31% of average loans and leases (or 3.54% excluding covered loans) for the same period in 2010. The third quarter of 2010 included $431 million of net charge-offs related to the transfer of loans to held for sale in connection with management’s nonperforming asset disposition strategy. Net charge-offs were 1.61% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 1.63% excluding covered loans) for the first nine months of 2011 compared to 2.55% of average loans and leases (or 2.74% excluding covered loans) for the corresponding period in 2010. Net charge-offs included $87 million and $579 million of losses related to loans transferred to held for sale in connection with management’s nonperforming asset disposition strategy during the nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Excluding these losses, the net charge-off ratio for the first nine months of 2011 would have been 1.52% compared to 1.94% for the corresponding period of 2010. The allowance for loan and lease losses was 2.25% of loans and leases held for investment (or 2.25% excluding covered loans) and was 1.20x total nonperforming loans and leases held for investment (or 1.15x excluding covered loans) at September 30, 2011 compared with 1.32x (or 1.30x excluding covered loans) at September 30, 2010. Management currently anticipates net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2011 to be in the range of 1.40% to 1.50% of average loans excluding covered loans.

Noninterest Income

BB&T emphasizes growing its fee-based businesses to lessen dependence on traditional spread-based interest income. Fee-based businesses are a relatively stable revenue source during periods of changing interest rates. Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $690 million, compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $420 million, or 37.8%. The decline in noninterest income included a reduction of $278 million as a result of lower net securities gains. Mortgage banking income and FDIC loss share income also each declined $61 million compared to the prior year quarter.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $2.2 billion, a 26.8% decrease compared to the same period of 2010. The decrease in noninterest income was due to a decline in net securities gains of $496 million, $110 million of higher losses and write-downs related to commercial loans held for sale in connection with management’s nonperforming asset disposition strategy and a $127 million reduction in fee income to reflect the reduction in expected receivables from the FDIC caused by improved loss expectations on covered loans. Mortgage banking income also decreased by $82 million compared to the same period of 2010.

Insurance income, which is BB&T’s largest source of noninterest income, totaled $241 million for the third quarter of 2011, which was down 4.4% compared to the same three-month period of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, insurance income totaled $790 million, a slight decrease compared to the same period last year. The decreases in insurance income reflect continued softness in industry pricing.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $141 million in the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $6 million, or 4.1%, compared to the same quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, service charges on deposits totaled $421 million, a decline of $54 million, or 11.4%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in service charges was primarily due to changes to BB&T’s overdraft policies, which were implemented during the third quarter of 2010, partially in response to regulatory changes. In the third quarter of 2011, BB&T implemented additional changes to the posting order for client transactions causing additional declines in service charges that were largely offset by other deposit-related fee changes.

Mortgage banking income totaled $123 million in the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $61 million or 33.2% compared to $184 million earned in the third quarter of 2010. This decrease is primarily due to a decline of $58 million in residential mortgage production income due to lower volumes and pricing. The Company was not a party to the consent orders issued to various mortgage servicers in the second quarter, however certain changes will impact the entire servicing industry. Management evaluates the servicing costs assumption on a quarterly basis based on changes to regulations and industry standards that impact the mortgage servicing industry. During the third quarter of 2011, management revised its servicing costs assumption in the valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights. The impact of this change was a $20 million reduction in the value of residential mortgage servicing rights. Management also updated prepayment speed forecast assumptions primarily due to a decrease in interest rates which caused the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights to decrease $255 million.

The following table provides a breakdown of the various components of mortgage banking income and other statistical information for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010:

Mortgage banking income totaled $301 million in the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of $82 million or 21.4%, compared to $383 million earned in the first nine months of 2010. This decrease is primarily due to a $99 million decline in residential mortgage production income due to lower volumes and pricing in 2011. This decline was partially offset by a $24 million increase in commercial mortgage banking income. The Company was not a party to the consent orders issued to various mortgage servicers in the second quarter, however certain changes will impact the entire servicing industry. Management evaluates the servicing costs assumption on a quarterly basis based on changes to regulations and industry standards that impact the mortgage servicing industry. During the second and third quarters of 2011, management revised its servicing costs assumption in the valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights. The impact of these changes was a $30 million reduction in the value of residential mortgage servicing rights. Management also updated prepayment speed forecast assumptions primarily due to a decrease in interest rates which caused the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights to decrease $265 million.

The following table provides a breakdown of the various components of mortgage banking income and other statistical information for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

(1) Includes a $3 million decrease due to a valuation adjustment for MSRs carried at the lower of cost or market during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Securities losses, net of gains and including other-than-temporary impairment charges, totaled $39 million and $41 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively. This compares to $239 million and $455 million in net securities gains during the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively. The net securities gains during 2010 were largely generated with the balance sheet deleverage strategy executed in the second quarter of 2010 and the decision to shorten investment duration executed in the third quarter of 2010. During the third quarter of 2011, BB&T recognized $39 million of other-than-temporary credit impairments on certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities. This represents an increase of $37 million compared to the third quarter of 2010. For the first nine months of 2011, BB&T has recognized a total of $78 million in other-than-temporary credit impairments compared to $13 million for the same period of 2010. The other-than-temporary impairment charges recognized during 2011 are due to weaker actual and forecasted collateral performance for non-agency mortgage-backed securities.

Other noninterest income, including investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions, income from bank-owned life insurance, trust and investment advisory revenues, bankcard fees and merchant discounts, checkcard fees, FDIC loss share income and other nondeposit fees and commissions totaled $224 million during the third quarter of 2011, compared with $288 million for the same period of 2010. This decline was primarily due to a decrease in FDIC loss share income of $61 million related to cash flow reassessments, securities related accretion and the offset to the provision for covered loans. Income on trading assets associated with certain post-employment benefits, which is offset in personnel costs, declined $12 million. Other income also included $9 million for higher losses and write-downs related to commercial loans held for sale in connection with management’s nonperforming asset disposition strategy. These decreases were partially offset by $10 million in lower credit losses on client derivatives. Other income also included increases in checkcard fees of $8 million, or 11.4%, and bankcard fees and merchant discounts of $6 million, or 13.3%. The increases in checkcard fees and bankcard fees and merchant discounts were largely due to higher volumes.

For the first nine months of 2011, other noninterest income totaled $720 million, down $168 million compared to the first nine months of 2010. Results for 2011 included $138 million for losses and write-downs related to commercial loans held for sale in connection with management’s nonperforming asset disposition strategy, compared to $28 million in the same period of 2010. In addition, FDIC loss share income declined $127 million, which was offset by additional interest income on covered loans and securities. Revenue from checkcard fees, bankcard fees and merchant discounts and trust and investment advisory revenues increased $28 million, $19 million and $14 million, respectively. The increases in checkcard fees and bankcard fees and merchant discounts were due to higher volumes, whereas the increase in trust and investment advisory revenues was due to improved market conditions in 2011.

Management now estimates that noninterest revenue sources at risk as a result of changes to Regulation E, posting order of client transactions and interchange revenue will be approximately $385 million on an annual run rate basis beginning in 2012. Changes related to Regulation E and posting order were fully included in the third quarter 2011 results of operations and the revenue interchange adjustments will be implemented in the fourth quarter of 2011. To date, management has implemented or identified changes in products and fees to offset

97

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

approximately half of the potential lost revenue and is continuing to evaluate the Company’s product offerings in an effort to eliminate, as much as possible, the negative financial impacts of these regulatory changes.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses totaled $1.4 billion for the third quarter of 2011, a slight increase over the same period a year ago. Noninterest expenses totaled $4.2 billion for the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of $65 million, or 1.5% compared to the same period a year ago.

Personnel expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, was $671 million for the current quarter compared to $642 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $29 million, or 4.5%. This growth primarily resulted from increases of $20 million resulting from incentive expense largely from better performance and production-related businesses and $16 million related to hiring and customary salary increases. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $12 million related to certain post-employment benefits, which is offset in noninterest income. For the first nine months of 2011, personnel expense totaled $2.0 billion, an increase of $111 million, or 5.7%, compared to the same period in 2010. This increase was driven by an increase of $55 million resulting from incentive expense largely from better performance and production-related businesses and an increase of $32 million related to pension and other benefits expense. Equity-based compensation expense also increased $16 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.

Foreclosed property expenses include the gain or loss on sale of foreclosed property, valuation adjustments resulting from updated appraisals, and the ongoing expense of maintaining foreclosed properties. Foreclosed property expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $168 million compared to $167 million for the third quarter of 2010. Foreclosed property expenses were higher in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to additional write-downs on certain properties as management factored in additional liquidity discounts to more aggressively reduce the inventory of foreclosed real estate. For the first nine months of 2011, foreclosed property expense totaled $456 million, compared to $585 million for the first nine months of 2010. The decline in 2011 was largely due to decreased losses and write-downs on foreclosed properties as property values began stabilizing. BB&T’s inventory of foreclosed property has decreased $362 million, or 26.9%, since September 30, 2010.

Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $151 million, compared to $157 million for the third quarter of 2010, representing a decrease of $6 million, or 3.8%. For the first nine months of 2011, occupancy and equipment expense totaled $457 million, compared to $453 million for the first nine months of 2010, representing an increase of $4 million, or 0.9%. The increase in the first nine months of 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily related to a first quarter 2010 adjustment of $16 million pre-tax related to a change in estimated occupancy expense associated with properties acquired from the FDIC in the Colonial acquisition.

Other noninterest expenses, including professional services, regulatory charges, loan processing expenses, amortization of intangibles, software expense and merger-related and restructuring charges, totaled $427 million for the current quarter, a decrease of $15 million, or 3.4%, compared to the same period of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decline of $15 million in regulatory charges due to lower deposit insurance premiums and $10 million in merger-related and restructuring charges, net, as the prior year’s third quarter included charges related to the Colonial acquisition. Amortization of intangibles also declined $6 million in the third quarter, as these intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in professional services expense of $16 million, as a result of higher legal fees. In addition, other noninterest

98

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

expense for the current quarter includes a pretax loss of $16 million from the sale of leveraged leases. These net increases were more than offset by tighter expense controls resulting in decreases in telephone, advertising and other operating expenses.

For the first nine months of 2011, other noninterest expenses totaled $1.2 billion, a decrease of $51 million, or 4.0%, compared to the same period of 2010. Merger-related and restructuring charges, net decreased by $65 million as the prior year included charges related to the Colonial acquisition. Amortization of intangibles declined by $19 million as intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis. In addition, advertising and other marketing expenses were down $15 million. Loan processing expenses were $15 million higher due to costs associated with problem loan workouts and regulatory charges increased $14 million due to higher deposit and supervisory-related costs. In addition, other noninterest expense for the 2011 period includes a pretax loss of $16 million from the sale of leveraged leases.

Noninterest expenses remain elevated due to higher costs associated with the credit environment. This includes higher foreclosed property expenses, personnel costs and other expenses associated with collections and problem loan workouts. Management expects that as the levels of nonperforming assets decline, these costs will decrease and additional net interest revenues will be earned.

Merger-Related and Restructuring Activities

BB&T has incurred certain merger-related and restructuring expenses. Merger-related and restructuring expenses or credits include: severance and personnel-related costs or credits, which typically occur in corporate support and data processing functions; occupancy and equipment charges or credits, which relate to costs or gains associated with lease terminations, obsolete equipment write-offs, and the sale of duplicate facilities and equipment; and other merger-related and restructuring charges or credits, which include expenses necessary to convert and combine the acquired branches and operations of merged companies, direct media advertising related to the acquisitions, asset and supply inventory write-offs, investment banking advisory fees and other similar charges. There were no merger-related and restructuring charges for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, compared to $10 million and $65 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2010. The decreases in merger-related and restructuring charges were largely due to costs incurred in 2010 in connection with the Colonial acquisition.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were $5 million and $10 million, respectively, of merger-related and restructuring accruals. Merger-related and restructuring accruals are established when the costs are incurred or once all requirements for a plan to dispose of certain business functions have been approved by management. In general, a major portion of accrued costs are utilized in conjunction with or immediately following the systems conversion, when most of the duplicate positions are eliminated and the terminated employees begin to receive severance. Other accruals are utilized over time based on the sale, closing or disposal of duplicate facilities or equipment or the expiration of lease contracts. Merger and restructuring accruals are re-evaluated periodically and adjusted as necessary. The remaining accruals at September 30, 2011 are expected to be utilized during 2011, unless they relate to specific contracts that expire in later years.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $68 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $41 million compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to higher pre-tax income. BB&T’s effective income tax rates for the third quarters of 2011 and 2010 were 15.5% and 11.0%, respectively. For the first nine months of 2011, the provision for income taxes was $212 million, an increase of $112 million compared to the same period of

99

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

2010, primarily due to higher pre-tax income. BB&T’s effective income tax rates for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 were 18.5% and 13.6%, respectively. The higher effective tax rates are primarily the result of higher pre-tax income, which is subject to the marginal tax rate. Included in the provision for income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 was a $26 million tax benefit related to the sale of leveraged leases.

BB&T has extended credit to and invested in the obligations of states and municipalities and their agencies, and has made other investments and loans that produce tax-exempt income. The income generated from these investments, together with certain other transactions that have favorable tax treatment, have reduced BB&T’s overall effective tax rate from the statutory rate in 2011 and 2010.

BB&T continually monitors and evaluates the potential impact of current events and circumstances on the estimates and assumptions used in the analysis of its income tax positions and, accordingly, BB&T’s effective tax rate may fluctuate in the future. On a periodic basis, BB&T evaluates its income tax positions based on tax laws and regulations and financial reporting considerations, and records adjustments as appropriate. This evaluation takes into consideration the status of current taxing authorities’ examinations of BB&T’s tax returns, recent positions taken by the taxing authorities on similar transactions, if any, and the overall tax environment in relation to tax-advantaged transactions. Accordingly, the results of these examinations may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. In February 2010, BB&T received an IRS statutory notice of deficiency for tax years 2002-2007 asserting a liability for taxes, penalties and interest of approximately $892 million related to the disallowance of foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. Management has consulted with outside counsel and continues to believe that BB&T’s treatment of this transaction was in compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations. However, as a procedural matter and in order to limit its exposure to incremental penalties and interest associated with this matter, BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest in March 2010, and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. BB&T recorded a receivable in other assets for the amount of this payment, less the reserve considered necessary in accordance with applicable income tax accounting guidance. Based on an assessment of the applicable tax law and the relevant facts and circumstances related to this matter, management has concluded that the amount of this reserve is adequate, although litigation is still ongoing. Final resolution of this matter is not expected to occur within the next twelve months. Various years remain subject to examination by state taxing authorities.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving BB&T’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, BB&T’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in BB&T’s lines of business. The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value.

Interest Rate Market Risk (Other than Trading)

BB&T actively manages market risk associated with asset and liability portfolios with a focus on the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts and management of appropriate maturity mixes of assets and liabilities. The goal of these activities is the development of appropriate maturity and repricing opportunities in BB&T’s portfolios of assets and liabilities that will produce consistent net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. These portfolios are analyzed for proper fixed-rate and variable-rate mixes under various interest rate scenarios.

100

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

The asset/liability management process is designed to achieve relatively stable net interest margins and assure liquidity by coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. Among other things, this process gives consideration to prepayment trends related to securities, loans and leases and certain deposits that have no stated maturity. Prepayment assumptions are developed using market data for residential mortgage-related loans and securities, and internal historical prepayment experience for client deposits with no stated maturity and loans that are not residential mortgage related. These assumptions are subject to monthly back-testing, and are adjusted as deemed necessary to reflect changes in interest rates relative to the reference rate of the underlying assets or liabilities. On a monthly basis, BB&T evaluates the accuracy of its interest rate forecast simulation model, which includes an evaluation of its prepayment assumptions, to ensure that all significant assumptions inherent in the model appropriately reflect changes in the interest rate environment and related trends in prepayment activity. It is the responsibility of the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee to determine and achieve the most appropriate volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as to ensure an adequate level of liquidity and capital, within the context of corporate performance goals. The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee meets regularly to review BB&T’s interest rate risk and liquidity positions in relation to present and prospective market and business conditions, and adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impact on earnings and liquidity as a result of fluctuations in interest rates is within acceptable standards.

BB&T uses derivatives primarily to manage risk related to securities, business loans, Federal funds purchased, other overnight funding, long-term debt, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage banking operations and certificates of deposit. As of September 30, 2011, BB&T had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $67.4 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was a gain of $207 million at September 30, 2011. See Note 15 “Derivative Financial Instruments” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures.

The majority of BB&T’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. Fluctuations in interest rates and actions of the Federal Reserve Board to regulate the availability and cost of credit have a greater effect on a financial institution’s profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services. Through its balance sheet management function, which is monitored by the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee, management believes that BB&T is positioned to respond to changing needs for liquidity, changes in interest rates and inflationary trends.

Management uses Interest Sensitivity Simulation Analysis (“Simulation”) to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. The Simulation model projects net interest income and interest rate risk for a rolling two-year period of time. Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that BB&T has made with its customers on deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and commitments to enter into those transactions. Furthermore, the Simulation considers the impact of expected customer behavior. Management monitors BB&T’s interest sensitivity by means of a model that incorporates the current volumes, average rates earned and paid, and scheduled maturities and payments of asset and liability portfolios, together with multiple scenarios of projected prepayments, repricing opportunities and anticipated volume growth. Using this information, the model projects earnings based on projected portfolio balances under multiple interest rate scenarios. This level of detail is needed to simulate the effect that changes in interest rates and portfolio balances may have on the earnings of BB&T. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but management believes that it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses such as static or dynamic gap. In addition to Simulation analysis, BB&T uses

101

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) analysis to focus on changes in capital given potential changes in interest rates. This measure also allows BB&T to analyze interest rate risk that falls outside the analysis window contained in the Simulation model. The EVE model is a discounted cash flow of the entire portfolio of BB&T’s assets, liabilities, and derivatives instruments. The difference in the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities is defined as the economic value of BB&T’s equity.

The asset/liability management process requires a number of key assumptions. Management determines the most likely outlook for the economy and interest rates by analyzing external factors, including published economic projections and data, the effects of likely monetary and fiscal policies, as well as any enacted or prospective regulatory changes. BB&T’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes and projected growth, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance are also considered. This data is combined with various interest rate scenarios to provide management with the information necessary to analyze interest sensitivity and to aid in the development of strategies to reach performance goals.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next twelve months assuming a gradual change in interest rates as described below. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity, customer preferences and capital plans. The resulting change in interest sensitive income reflects the level of sensitivity that interest sensitive income has in relation to changing interest rates.

	No Change			3.25			3.25			—			—
	(0.25	)		3.00			3.00			0.22			(0.27	)

The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee has established parameters measuring interest sensitivity that prescribe a maximum negative impact on net interest income of 2% for the next 12 months for a linear change of 100 basis points over four months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining eight month period, and a maximum negative impact of 4% for a linear change of 200 basis points over eight months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining four month period. In the event that the results of the Simulation model fall outside the established parameters, management will make recommendations to the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee on the most appropriate response given the current economic forecast. Management currently only modeled a negative 25 basis point decline because larger declines would have resulted in a Federal funds rate of less than zero.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on EVE. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, and deposit sensitivity. The resulting change in the economic value of equity reflects the level of sensitivity that EVE has in relation to changing interest rates.

Market Risk from Trading Activities

BB&T also manages market risk from trading activities which consists of acting as a financial intermediary to provide its customers access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets. Trading market risk is managed through the use of statistical and non-statistical risk measures and limits, with overall established limits. BB&T utilizes a historical value-at-risk (“VaR”) methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading lines of business. This methodology uses one year of historical data to estimate economic outcomes for a one-day time horizon at a 99% confidence level.

The average VaR for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $780 thousand. Maximum daily VaR was approximately $1.35 million, and the low daily VaR was approximately $160 thousand during this same period, respectively.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Related Party Transactions

Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for discussion with respect to BB&T’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about its fixed and determinable contractual obligations. Additional disclosures about BB&T’s contractual obligations, commitments and derivative financial instruments are included in Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies” and Note 14 “Fair Value Disclosures” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES

Financial holding companies and their banking subsidiaries are subject to regulatory requirements with respect to risk-based capital adequacy. Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and performance. Risk-based capital ratios measure capital as a percentage of a combination of risk-weighted balance sheet and off-balance sheet risk. The risk-weighted values of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are determined in accordance with risk factors specified by Federal bank regulatory pronouncements. Refer to the section titled “Capital” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information with regard to BB&T’s capital requirements.

103

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. BB&T’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support BB&T’s comprehensive risk profile, preserve a sufficient capital base from which to support future growth, provide a competitive return to shareholders, comply with regulatory standards and achieve optimal credit ratings for BB&T and its subsidiaries.

Management regularly monitors the capital position of BB&T on a consolidated basis. In this regard, management’s overriding policy is to maintain capital at levels that will result in BB&T being classified as “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes and to maintain sufficient capital relative to the Corporation’s level of risk. Secondarily, it is management’s intent to maintain consolidated capital levels that result in regulatory risk-based capital ratios that are generally comparable with BB&T’s peers of similar size, complexity and risk profile. Management particularly monitors and intends to maintain the following minimum capital ratios:

Table 11

BB&T’s Internal Capital Guidelines

Tier 1 Capital Ratio	8.50	%
Total Capital Ratio	12.00	%
Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio	7.00	%
Tangible Capital Ratio	5.50	%
Tier 1 Common Equity Ratio	7.00	%

While nonrecurring events or management decisions may result in the Corporation temporarily falling below its minimum guidelines for one or more of these ratios, it is management’s intent through capital planning to return to these targeted minimums within a reasonable period of time. Such temporary decreases below these minimums are not considered an infringement of BB&T’s overall capital policy provided the Corporation and Branch Bank remain “well-capitalized.”

Management has announced intentions to retire its $3.2 billion in trust preferred securities during 2012 and to complete the process by the end of 2013. As of September 30, 2011, management currently estimates the Tier 1 common ratio under the currently proposed Basel III standards to be 8.8% compared to 8.3% as of June 30, 2011. The improvement in this measure was driven by an increase in retained earnings, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income due to improvement in the market value of available-for-sale securities, and a lower impact for mortgage servicing assets and deferred taxes as a result of the decline in interest rates, which reduced the value of mortgage servicing assets.

BB&T’s regulatory and tangible capital ratios for the last five calendar quarters are set forth in Table 12-1. In September 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision proposed new regulatory capital requirements (commonly referred to as “Basel III”) in an effort to strengthen the financial services industry. It is anticipated that U.S. regulators will adopt new regulatory capital requirements similar to those defined in Basel III. The primary impacts to BB&T of the proposed measure are the deduction of net pension assets from Tier I capital and the elimination of the other comprehensive income adjustments for available-for-sale securities and pension and postretirement obligations. In addition, the proposed requirements result in adjustments to Tier I common equity and risk-weighted assets for mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets and unconsolidated investments. Refer to Table 12-2 for a reconciliation of how BB&T calculates the Tier I common equity ratio under the proposed Basel III capital guidelines.

(1) Current quarter regulatory capital information is preliminary.

(2) Tangible common equity and Tier 1 common equity ratios are non-GAAP measures. BB&T uses the Tier 1 common equity definition used in the SCAP assessment to calculate these ratios. BB&T’s management uses these measures to assess the quality of capital and believes that investors may find them useful in their analysis of the Corporation. These capital measures are not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies.

(3) Risk-weighted assets are determined based on regulatory capital requirements. Under the regulatory framework for determining risk-weighted assets each asset class is assigned a risk-weighting of 0%, 20%, 50% or 100% based on the underlying risk of the specific asset class. In addition, off-balance sheet exposures are first converted to a balance sheet equivalent amount and subsequently assigned to one of the four risk-weightings.

Share Repurchase Activity

BB&T has periodically repurchased shares of its own common stock. In accordance with North Carolina law, repurchased shares cannot be held as treasury stock, but revert to the status of authorized and unissued shares upon repurchase.

On June 27, 2006, BB&T’s Board of Directors granted authority under a plan (the “2006 Plan”) for the repurchase of up to 50 million shares of BB&T’s common stock as needed for general corporate purposes. The 2006 Plan also authorizes the repurchase of the remaining shares from the previous authorization. The 2006 Plan remains in effect until all the authorized shares are repurchased unless modified by the Board of Directors. No shares were repurchased in connection with the 2006 Plan during 2011.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity represents BB&T’s continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, timely repayment of borrowings and other liabilities, and funding of loan commitments. Management made additional investments in securities in the second quarter of 2011 in an effort to improve the Company’s liquidity measures under the proposed Basel III guidelines and as a result of strong growth in deposits. Management also decreased the amount of securities pledged from $19.3 billion at December 31, 2010 to $13.9 billion at September 30, 2011, resulting in an increase in the amount of unencumbered securities in the portfolio, and replaced these pledges with a letter of credit issued by the FHLB on behalf of Branch Bank.

In addition to the level of liquid assets, such as trading securities and securities available for sale, many other factors affect BB&T’s ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity in national money markets, growing core deposits, the repayment of loans and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale. The ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies’ views of BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management meets with the rating agencies on a routine basis to discuss the current outlook for BB&T and Branch Bank. Refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for disclosures related to BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit ratings and liquidity.

SEGMENT RESULTS

BB&T’s operations are divided into seven reportable business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Sales Finance, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services, Financial Services and Treasury. These operating segments have been identified based primarily on BB&T’s organizational structure. See Note 17 “Operating Segments” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” contained herein and BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s reportable business segments. Fluctuations in noninterest income and noninterest expense incurred directly by the operating segments are more fully described in the sections titled “Noninterest Income” and “Noninterest Expense” of this discussion and analysis. The following table reflects the net income (loss) for each of BB&T’s operating segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries Management’s Discussion and Analysis Third Quarter 2011

Community Banking reported net income of $575 million compared to $152 million in the prior year. The $423 million increase in net income attributable to the Community Banking segment was primarily due to an $877 million decrease in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses, reflecting improved credit quality in the Bank’s commercial and retail loan portfolios. Lower provision expenses were offset by a decrease of $166 million in net interest income and FTP driven by lower FTP credits earned on deposits related to the decline in the FTP liquidity premiums from the prior year. In addition, noninterest income declined $131 million, primarily as a result of losses realized on loans held for sale and lower service charges on deposit accounts. Noninterest expenses decreased $159 million from the prior year primarily as a result of lower losses on the sale of foreclosed property and lower personnel and occupancy expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in allocated corporate expenses.

Residential Mortgage Banking experienced a net loss of $53 million compared to a $77 million net loss in the prior year. This improvement was due primarily to a $157 million decrease in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses. Lower provision expenses were driven by improved credit quality performance in the Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio, as well as a sale of nonperforming loans in the second quarter of 2011. Offsetting lower provision expense was a $105 million decrease in noninterest income as a result of lower mortgage loan sales volumes and margins than the prior year.

Sales Finance’s net income of $38 million was below prior year results of $43 million as higher net interest income and FTP was offset by an increase in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses following a provision release in 2010 due to improved credit quality over the prior year.

Specialized Lending reported net income of $213 million compared to $153 million in the prior year. The $60 million increase in net income for the Specialized Lending segment was primarily driven by a $72 million increase in net interest income and FTP related to strong growth in the underlying loan portfolio balances across most lines of business, a $31 million increase in noninterest income primarily related to higher loan origination volumes, and a $10 million reduction in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses. Contributors to net income growth included Regional Acceptance Corporation, which experienced strong lending volumes and margins, Sheffield Financial, which expanded several dealer financing relationships during the year, and Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, which realized strong growth in commercial loan origination volumes for delivery to the secondary market.

Insurance Services reported net income of $93 million compared to $94 million in the prior year reflecting Insurance Services’ ability to retain clients and add new business in what has been a continued soft insurance market.

Financial Services reported net income of $88 million compared to $83 million in the prior year. The $5 million increase in net income was driven by a $34 million increase in noninterest income, a $7 million decrease in the allocated provision for loan and lease losses, and a $5 million increase in net interest income and FTP. Noninterest income improved due to strong retail sales of investment products and services, combined with continued strong growth in Corporate Banking-related noninterest fee income where BB&T continues to add additional resources. In addition, Capital Partners continued to have strong revenue growth in 2011 related to maturing investments in several of its venture capital funds. These results were partially offset by a $43 million increase in noninterest expenses related to the addition of revenue-producing employees as BB&T continues to expand its sales force in these lines of business and higher incentive income associated with improved revenues.

Treasury segment results were shaped by balance sheet strategies that impacted net interest income. Interest income on securities was significantly lower over the period due to generally lower reinvestment yields and a higher proportion of shorter duration and floating rate bonds in the portfolio which have inherently lower

coupons. The lower interest income was partially offset by lower funding costs. The reduction in noninterest income was due to security gains recognized in 2010.

The substantial majority of the loan portfolio acquired in the Colonial acquisition is covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, and is managed outside of the Community Banking segment. The assets and related interest income from the portfolio are included in the Parent/Reconciling Items segment. The $136 million increase in net income related to Parent/Reconciling Items was positively impacted by higher net interest income earned on the covered loan portfolio.

Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (“BB&T”, the “Corporation” or the “Company”), are fair statements of BB&T's financial position at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T's results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and BB&T's changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Nature of Operations

BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), BB&T Financial, FSB (“BB&T FSB”), a federally chartered thrift institution, and its nonbank subsidiaries. Branch Bank has offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Washington, D.C. Branch Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individuals and businesses, and offers a variety of loans to businesses and consumers. Such loans are made primarily to individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses located within BB&T's geographic footprint. Branch Bank also markets a wide range of deposit services to individuals, businesses and public entities. Branch Bank offers, either directly, or through its subsidiaries, lease financing to businesses and municipal governments; factoring; discount brokerage services, annuities and mutual funds; life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance and commercial general liability insurance on an agency basis and through a wholesale insurance brokerage operation; insurance premium financing; permanent financing arrangements for commercial real estate; loan servicing for third-party investors; direct consumer finance loans to individuals; trust and comprehensive wealth advisory services and association services. BB&T FSB and the direct nonbank subsidiaries of BB&T provide a variety of financial services including credit card lending, automobile lending, equipment financing, full-service securities brokerage, asset management and capital markets services.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T Corporation and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BB&T and over which BB&T exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

BB&T holds investments in certain legal entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE's”). VIE's are legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities, or as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE.

BB&T evaluates its investments in VIE's to determine if a controlling financial interest is held. This evaluation gives appropriate consideration to the design of the entity and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along, the relative power of each of the parties to the VIE, and to BB&T's relative obligation to absorb losses or receive residual returns of the entity, in relation to such obligations and rights held by other parties to the VIE. BB&T has variable interests in certain entities that were not required to be consolidated, including affordable housing partnership interests, historic tax credit partnerships, and other partnership interests. Refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures regarding BB&T's significant variable interest entities.

BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership and similar investments using the equity method of accounting. In addition to affordable housing partnerships, which represent the majority of unconsolidated investments in variable interest entities, BB&T also has investments and future funding commitments to venture capital and other entities. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in variable interest entities is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding balance, future funding commitments and any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as are other loans and are generally secured.

BB&T has investments in certain entities for which BB&T does not have the controlling interest. For these investments, the Company records its interest using the equity method with its portion of income or loss being recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T periodically evaluates these investments for impairment.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders' equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance requires a gross presentation of purchases and sales of Level 3 activities and adds a new requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. The guidance related to the transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements was effective for BB&T on January 1, 2010. The guidance that requires increased disaggregation of the Level 3 activities was effective for BB&T on January 1, 2011. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 14 to these consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Receivables. The new guidance requires additional disclosures that will allow users to understand the nature of credit risk inherent in a company's loan portfolios, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for loan and lease losses, and changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Receivables. The new guidance amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a loan modification is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor's evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. This guidance was effective for interim reporting periods that began after June 15, 2011, and was applied retrospectively to the beginning of 2011. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company's valuation processes. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and all amendments will be applied prospectively with any changes in measurements recognized in income in the period of adoption. BB&T is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Comprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. All changes in OCI will be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not impact BB&T's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will only impact the presentation of OCI in the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Intangibles. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To the extent that an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performance of the two step impairment test is not required. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to BB&T's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (“BB&T”, the “Corporation” or the “Company”), are fair statements of BB&T's financial position at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T's results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and BB&T's changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Nature of Operations

BB&T is a financial holding company organized under the laws of North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its principal bank subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), BB&T Financial, FSB (“BB&T FSB”), a federally chartered thrift institution, and its nonbank subsidiaries. Branch Bank has offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Washington, D.C. Branch Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individuals and businesses, and offers a variety of loans to businesses and consumers. Such loans are made primarily to individuals residing in the market areas described above or to businesses located within BB&T's geographic footprint. Branch Bank also markets a wide range of deposit services to individuals, businesses and public entities. Branch Bank offers, either directly, or through its subsidiaries, lease financing to businesses and municipal governments; factoring; discount brokerage services, annuities and mutual funds; life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance and commercial general liability insurance on an agency basis and through a wholesale insurance brokerage operation; insurance premium financing; permanent financing arrangements for commercial real estate; loan servicing for third-party investors; direct consumer finance loans to individuals; trust and comprehensive wealth advisory services and association services. BB&T FSB and the direct nonbank subsidiaries of BB&T provide a variety of financial services including credit card lending, automobile lending, equipment financing, full-service securities brokerage, asset management and capital markets services.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T Corporation and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BB&T and over which BB&T exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

BB&T holds investments in certain legal entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE's”). VIE's are legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities, or as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE.

BB&T evaluates its investments in VIE's to determine if a controlling financial interest is held. This evaluation gives appropriate consideration to the design of the entity and the variability that the entity was designed to pass along, the relative power of each of the parties to the VIE, and to BB&T's relative obligation to absorb losses or receive residual returns of the entity, in relation to such obligations and rights held by other parties to the VIE. BB&T has variable interests in certain entities that were not required to be consolidated, including affordable housing partnership interests, historic tax credit partnerships, and other partnership interests. Refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures regarding BB&T's significant variable interest entities.

BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership and similar investments using the equity method of accounting. In addition to affordable housing partnerships, which represent the majority of unconsolidated investments in variable interest entities, BB&T also has investments and future funding commitments to venture capital and other entities. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in variable interest entities is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding balance, future funding commitments and any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as are other loans and are generally secured.

BB&T has investments in certain entities for which BB&T does not have the controlling interest. For these investments, the Company records its interest using the equity method with its portion of income or loss being recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T periodically evaluates these investments for impairment.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders' equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance requires a gross presentation of purchases and sales of Level 3 activities and adds a new requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. The guidance related to the transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements was effective for BB&T on January 1, 2010. The guidance that requires increased disaggregation of the Level 3 activities was effective for BB&T on January 1, 2011. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 14 to these consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Receivables. The new guidance requires additional disclosures that will allow users to understand the nature of credit risk inherent in a company's loan portfolios, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for loan and lease losses, and changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Receivables. The new guidance amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a loan modification is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor's evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. This guidance was effective for interim reporting periods that began after June 15, 2011, and was applied retrospectively to the beginning of 2011. The new disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles for companies around the world. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company's valuation processes. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and all amendments will be applied prospectively with any changes in measurements recognized in income in the period of adoption. BB&T is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Comprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. All changes in OCI will be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not impact BB&T's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will only impact the presentation of OCI in the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Intangibles. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To the extent that an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performance of the two step impairment test is not required. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to BB&T's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12. Benefit Plans

BB&T provides various benefit plans to substantially all employees, including employees of acquired entities. Employees of acquired entities generally participate in existing BB&T plans after consummation of the business combinations. The plans of acquired institutions are typically merged into the BB&T plans after 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 eligibility purposes. The Colonial transaction, as an asset purchase, was handled differently from typical mergers. The retirement plans of Colonial were not assumed by BB&T, and as such, were not merged into the BB&T plans. Credit for years of service with Colonial, where given, was determined on a plan-by-plan basis with regard to the participation of former Colonial employees in BB&T's plans.

BB&T makes contributions to the qualified pension plan in amounts between the minimum required for funding standard accounts and the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. A discretionary contribution of$68 million was made to the qualified pension plan during the first nine months of 2010. Management is not required to, and currently has no plans to, make a contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2011; however, such a contribution may be made later in 2011, if deemed appropriate.

(2)	Includes amounts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale and excludes amounts related to government guaranteed loans. Refer to Loans and Leases Note for additional disclosures related to past due government guaranteed loans.
(3)	Net charge-offs for September 30, 2011 reflect nine months.

The unpaid principal balances of BB&T's total residential mortgage servicing portfolio were $88.7 billion and $83.5 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The unpaid principal balances of residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans and totaled $66.3billion and $61.8 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T sold residential mortgage loans from the held for sale portfolio with unpaid principal balances of $12.0 billion and $13.1 billion, respectively, and recognized pre-tax gains of $109 million and $181 million, respectively, including the impact of interest rate lock commitments. These gains are recorded in noninterest income as a component of mortgage banking income. BB&T retained the related mortgage servicing rights and receives servicing fees.

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the approximate weighted average servicing fee was 0.34% and 0.35%, respectively, of the outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced for others. The weighted average coupon interest rate on the portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others was 5.10% and 5.37% at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. BB&T recognized servicing fees of $179 million and $168 million during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a component of mortgage banking income.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans sold with recourse liability. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has maximum recourse exposure of approximately $536 million and $597 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T has recorded $8 millionand $6 million, respectively, of reserves related to these recourse exposures. Payments made to date have been immaterial.

BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of BB&T. BB&T has recorded $22 million and $15 million of reserves related to potential losses resulting from repurchases of loans sold at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Residential mortgage servicing rights are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions of its residential mortgage servicing rights. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T's residential mortgage servicing rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

				Residential Mortgage Servicing Rights
				Nine Months Ended
				September 30,
					2011		2010
				(Dollars in millions)
	Carrying value, January 1,			$	830	$	832
		Additions			165		177
		Increase (decrease) in fair value:
			Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions		(319)		(327)
		Other changes (1)			(103)		(97)
	Carrying value, September 30,			$	573	$	585
(1)	Represents the realization of expected net servicing cash flows, expected borrower payments and the passage of time.

During the first nine months of 2011, management revised its servicing costs assumptions in the valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights due to the expectation of higher costs that are impacting the industry. The impact of these changesresulted in a $30 million reduction in the value of residential mortgage servicing rights.Management also updated prepayment speed forecast assumptions primarily due to a decrease in interest rates which caused the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights to decrease $265 million.

Refer to Note 14 for additional disclosures related to the assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights. At September 30, 2011, the sensitivity of the current fair value of the residential mortgage servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions are included in the accompanying table:

			Residential
			Mortgage Servicing Rights
			September 30, 2011
			(Dollars in millions)
Fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights				$	573
Composition of residential loans serviced for others:
	Fixed-rate mortgage loans				99	%
	Adjustable-rate mortgage loans				1
		Total			100	%
Weighted average life					3.8	yrs
Prepayment speed					19.8	%
	Effect on fair value of a 10% increase			$	(35)
	Effect on fair value of a 20% increase				(65)
Weighted average discount rate					10.3	%
	Effect on fair value of a 10% increase			$	(19)
	Effect on fair value of a 20% increase				(37)

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, 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), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Commercial Mortgage Banking Activities

BB&T also arranges and services commercial real estate mortgages through Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Grandbridge”) the commercial mortgage banking subsidiary of Branch Bank. During the nine monthsended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Grandbridge originated$3.3 billion and$1.8billion, respectively, of commercial real estate mortgages, the majority of which were arranged for third party investors. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Grandbridge's portfolio of commercial real estate mortgages serviced for others totaled $25.0 billion and $24.1 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans and leases on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Grandbridge had $4.5 billion and $4.4 billion in loans serviced for others that were covered by recourse provisions at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At bothSeptember 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Grandbridge's maximum exposure to loss for these loans was approximately $1.2 billion. BB&T has recorded $22 million and $19 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Commercial mortgage servicing rights are recorded as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or market and amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period that net servicing income is expected to be received based on projections of the amount and timing of estimated future net cash flows. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T's commercial mortgage servicing rights for the nine monthsended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

At September 30, 2011, the sensitivity of the current fair value of the capitalized commercial mortgage servicing rights to adverse changes in key economic assumptions are included in the accompanying table:
			Commercial Mortgage
			Servicing Rights
			September 30, 2011
			(Dollars in millions)
	Fair value of commercial mortgage servicing rights		$	128
	Weighted average life			7.0	yrs
	Prepayment speed			0.0	%
	Weighted average discount rate			12.2	%
		Effect on fair value of a 10% increase	$	(4)
		Effect on fair value of a 20% increase		(8)

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, 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 increased value of escrow deposits), which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

During the first quarter of 2011, BB&T reclassified approximately $8.3 billion of securities available forsale to securities held to maturity. Management determined that it has both the positive intent and ability to holdthese securities to maturity. The reclassification of these securities was accounted for at fair value. On the date oftransfer, the difference between the par value and the fair value of these securities resulted in a premium ordiscount that is amortized as a yield adjustment to interest income usingthe interest method. The unrealized holding gains or losses at the date of transfer will continue to be reported as part of other, net in accumulated other comprehensive income, and is also amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment to interest income using the interestmethod. There were no gains or lossesrecognized as a result of this transfer.

As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of covered securities included $1.4 billion of non-agency mortgage-backedsecurities and $318 million of municipal securities. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of coveredsecurities included $1.2 billion of non-agency mortgage-backed securities and $304 million of municipalsecurities. All covered securities were acquired from Colonial Bank (“Colonial”) and are covered by one of theFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) loss sharing agreements. BB&T is restricted from selling thesesecurities without prior approval from the FDIC. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the yearended December 31, 2010for additional information.

At September 30, 2011and December 31, 2010, securities with carrying values of approximately $13.9 billionand $19.3 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements torepurchase, other borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

BB&T had certain investments in marketable debt securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by theFederal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation(“Freddie Mac”) that exceeded ten percent of shareholders' equity at September 30, 2011. The Fannie Maeinvestments had total amortized cost and fair values of $7.9 billionand $8.0 billion, respectively,at September 30, 2011, while Freddie Mac investments had total amortized cost and fair values of $10.3billion and $10.4 billion, respectively. These securities are carried at amortized cost in the held to maturity portfolio or fair value in the available for sale portfolio.

At September 30, 2011and December 31, 2010, non-agency mortgage-backed securities primarily consisted ofresidential mortgage-backed securities.

The gross realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments recognized in income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are reflected in the following table:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at September 30, 2011, bycontractual maturity, are shown in the accompanying table. The expected life of mortgage-backed securities willdiffer from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay the underlyingmortgage loans with or without call or prepayment penalties. For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backedsecurities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been included in maturity groupings based onthe contractual maturity.

BB&T conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized loss forother-than-temporary impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual securityis less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded,net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities.

Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include:

•       The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer;

•       BB&T's intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis;

•       The length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;

•       Whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific conditions, such as conditions in an industry or in a geographic area;

•       Whether a debt security has been downgraded by a rating agency;

•       Whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated;

•       The seniority of the security;

•       Whether dividends have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments on debt securities have not been made; and

•       Any other relevant available information.

If an unrealized loss is considered other-than-temporary, the credit component of the unrealized loss is recognized in earnings and the non-credit component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent that BB&T does not intend to sell the security and it is morelikelythannot that BB&T will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery.

BB&T evaluates credit impairment related to mortgage-backed securities using a number of different expected cash flow models. These models reflect differing approaches to estimating the expected future cash flows associated with a given security, with certain models giving greater consideration to long-term macroeconomic factors that are applied to current security default rates, prepayment rates and recovery rates, and other models produce results that are more heavily influenced by current security-level performance. All of these models provide estimates of the expected cash flows on the underlying mortgage pools using security-specific structure information over the expected life of the security. These models estimate cash flows from the underlying mortgage loan pools and distribute those cash flows to the various tranches within the securitization considering the transaction structure, which may include subordination features and/or credit enhancements. Management reviews the results of these cash flow models and assigns probability weightings to each model based on an assessment of the current performance of the underlying securities, prevailing economic conditions and historical payment experience.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, BB&T realized principal losses on certain other-than-temporarily impaired securities totaling approximately $2 million and $8 million, respectively. Based on its consideration of the timing and extent of these losses, combined with prevailing economic conditions, BB&T determined that its cash flow modeling should give greater weighting to current security-level performance and give less weighting to modeling that relies more heavily on long-term economic factors. This change in probability-weighting resulted in the majority of the credit losses recognized on securities.

On September 30, 2011, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealizedloss positions for more than 12 months. The vast majority of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and municipalsecurities. At September 30, 2011, all of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months,excluding those covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, were investment grade with the exception of twomunicipal bonds with an amortized cost of $8 million and ten non-agency mortgage-backed securities with an adjustedamortized cost of $469million.

All of the non-investment grade securities referenced above were initially investmentgrade and have been downgraded since purchase. Based on its evaluation at September 30, 2011, BB&T determinedthat certain of the non-investment grade non-agency mortgage-backed securities had credit losses evident andrecognized other-than-temporary impairments related to these securities. At September 30, 2011, the total unrealized loss on these non-investment grade securities was $79 million.

The following table presents non-investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses that are notcovered by a loss sharing arrangement and the credit loss component of OTTI recognized to date:

		September 30, 2011

	RMBS 2		139		(29)		110		94		(16)
	RMBS 3		103		(13)		90		77		(13)

BB&T's evaluation of the other debt securities with continuous unrealized losses indicated that there were no credit losses evident. Furthermore, as of the date of the evaluation, BB&T did not intend to sell, and it was more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell, these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. In making this determination, BB&T considers its expected liquidity and capital needs, including its asset/liability management needs, forecasts, strategies and other relevant information.

The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased impaired loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $3.6 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased nonimpaired loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $4.3 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, none of the purchased loans were classified as nonperforming assets. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased loans. The allowance for loan losses related to the purchased loans results from decreased expectations of future cash flows due to increased credit losses for certain acquired loan pools.

The following table provides a summary of BB&T’s nonperforming assets and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
				September 30,		December 31,

Income Taxes

NOTE 11. Income Taxes

BB&T's provision for income taxes was$68millionand $27 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $212 million and $100 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 15.5% and 11.0%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 18.5% and 13.6%, respectively. The higher effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 2010 are primarily due to higher levels of pre-tax income, which is subject to the marginal tax rate. The third quarter of 2011 includes a $26 million tax benefit related to the sale of leveraged leases.

In February 2010, BB&T received an IRS statutory notice of deficiency for tax years 2002-2007 asserting a liability for taxes, penalties and interest of approximately $892 million related to the disallowance of foreign tax credits and other deductions claimed by a subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. Management has consulted with outside counsel and continues to believe that BB&T's treatment of this transaction was in compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations. However, as a procedural matter and in order to limit its exposure to incremental penalties and interest associated with this matter, BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest in March 2010, and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. BB&T recorded a receivable in other assets for the amount of this payment, less the reserve considered necessary in accordance with applicable income tax accounting guidance. Based on an assessment of the applicable tax law and the relevant facts and circumstances related to this matter, management has concluded that the amount of this reserve is adequate, although litigation is still ongoing. Final resolution of this matter is not expected to occur within the next twelve months.

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its commercial portfolio segment using internal risk ratings. These risk ratings are based on established regulatory guidance. Loans with a Pass rating represent those not considered as a problem credit. Special mention loans are those that have a potential weakness deserving management's close attention. Substandard loans are those where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. Substandard loans are placed in nonaccrual status when BB&T believes it is no longer probable it will collect all contractual cash flows.

BB&T assigns an internal risk rating at loan origination and reviews the relationship again on an annual basis or at any point management becomes aware of information affecting the borrower's ability to fulfill their obligations.

BB&T monitors the credit quality of its retail portfolio segment based primarily on delinquency status, which is the primary factor considered in determining whether a retail loan should be classified as nonaccrual.

The following tables illustrate the credit quality indicators associated with BB&T's loans and leases held for investment as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Covered and other acquired loans are excluded from this analysis because their related allowance is determined by loan pool performance due to the application of the accretion method.

Modifications to a borrower's debt agreement are considered troubled debt restructurings ("restructurings") if a concession is granted for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties that otherwise would not be considered. Restructurings are undertaken in order to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan and may take the form of modifications made with the stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, other modifications to the structure of the loan that fall outside of normal underwriting policies and procedures, or in certain limited circumstances forgiveness of principal or interest. Modifications of covered and other acquired loans that are part of a pool accounted for as a single asset are not considered restructurings.
The following table provides a summary of the primary reason loan modifications were classified as restructurings and their estimated impact on the allowance for loan and lease losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

(1)	Includes modifications made to existing restructurings, as well as new modifications that are considered restructurings. Balances represent the recorded investment as of the end of the period in which the modification was made.
(2)	Includes restructurings made with a below market interest rate that also includes a modification of loan structure.

There was no forgiveness of principal or interest for restructurings recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Charge-offs recorded at the modification date were $6 million and $29 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Modifications made to existing restructurings in the commercial portfolio segment approximated 19% and 28% of total commercial restructurings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

The allowance for nonperforming commercial restructurings for relationships with outstanding debt of $2 million or more are determined using a discounted expected cash flow approach and/or the value of collateral. The allowance for other commercial restructurings and all retail restructurings are determined using a discounted expected cash flow approach.

The following table provides a summary of the pre-default balance for modifications that experienced a payment default during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, that had been classified as restructurings during the previous 12 months. BB&T defines payment default as movement of the restructuring to nonaccrual status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.

Fair Value Disclosures

NOTE 14. Fair Value Disclosures

BB&T carries various assets and liabilities at fair value based on applicable accounting standards. In addition, BB&T has elected to account for prime residential mortgage and commercial mortgage loans originated as loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting standards (the “Fair Value Option”). BB&T also has certain loans held for sale that were originated as loans held for investment. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market. Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants. These standards also established a three level fair value hierarchy that describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities. Level 1 asset and liability fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 asset and liability fair values are based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices that are not in an active market; or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities are financial instruments whose value is calculated by the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as financial instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. These methodologies may result in a significant portion of the fair value being derived from unobservable data.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments for which BB&T has elected the Fair Value Option are summarized below:

The following discussion focuses on the valuation techniques and significant inputs used by BB&T in determining the Level 2 and Level 3 fair values of each significant class of assets and liabilities.

The fair values for available-for-sale and trading securities are generally based upon quoted market prices or observable market prices for similar instruments. BB&T generally utilizes a third-party pricing service in determining the fair value of its securities portfolio. The pricing service uses observable inputs when available including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some inputs may not be applicable. BB&T performs a review of pricing on actual trades executed in order to validate the fair values provided by this pricing service. BB&T also analyzes available third-party market data for a sample of securities to further validate these fair values. When market observable data is not available, which generally occurs due to the lack of liquidity for certain securities, the valuation of the security is subjective and may involve substantial judgment by management.

Specific valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of each significant class of assets and liabilities follows:

Trading securities: Trading securities are composed of all types of debt and equity securities, but the majority consists of debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government-sponsored entities, or states and political subdivisions. The valuation techniques used for these investments are more fully discussed below.

GSE securities and Mortgage-backed securities issued by GSE: These are debt securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. BB&T's valuations are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

States and political subdivisions: These are debt securities issued by states and political subdivisions. BB&T's valuations are primarily based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields, MSRB reported trades, material event notices and new issue data.

Non-agency mortgage-backed securities: BB&T's valuation for these debt securities is based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

Other securities: These securities consist primarily of equities, mutual funds and corporate bonds. These securities are valued based on a review of quoted market prices for identical and similar assets as well as through the various other inputs discussed previously.

Covered securities: Covered securities are covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements and consist of re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The covered state and political subdivision securities and certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities are valued in a manner similar to the approach described above for these asset classes. The re-remic non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which are categorized as Level 3, were valued based on broker dealer quotes that reflected certain unobservable market inputs.

Loans held for sale: BB&T originates certain mortgage loans to be sold to investors. These loans are carried at fair value based on BB&T's election of the Fair Value Option. The fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale.

Residential mortgage servicing rights: BB&T estimates the fair value of residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) using an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation model to project MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The OAS model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. When available, fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to observable market data and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.

Derivative assets and liabilities: BB&T uses derivatives to manage various financial risks. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments, is based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that BB&T does not expect to fund and includes the value attributable to the net servicing fee.

Venture capital and similar investments: BB&T has venture capital and similar investments that are carried at fair value. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated.

Short-term borrowed funds: Short-term borrowed funds represent debt securities sold short. These are entered into through BB&T's brokerage subsidiary Scott & Stringfellow, LLC. These trades are executed as a hedging strategy for the purposes of supporting institutional and retail client trading activities.

The tables below present reconciliations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

BB&T's policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period. During the first nine months of 2011, BB&T transferred certain state and political subdivision securities out of Level 3 as a result of management's decision to reclassify them from available for sale to held to maturity classification which is not recorded at fair value. During the first nine months of 2010,transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were the result of increased observable market activity for these securities. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfers of securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010. There were no significant transfers of securities between Level 1 and Level 2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

BB&T has investments in venture capital funds and other similar investments that are measured at fair value based on the investment's net asset value. The significant investment strategies for these ventures are primarily equity and subordinated debt in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these investments are not redeemable and have varying dates for which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by distribution through 2021. As of September 30, 2011, restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. There were no investments probable of sale for less than net asset value at September 30, 2011.

The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includesadjustmentsreducing the value $299 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $46 million for the three monthsSeptember 30, 2011. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assetsincludes an adjustment reducing the value $100 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $35 million. BB&T uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value. During the three monthsended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the derivative instruments produced gains of $329 million and$132 million, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded.

For the nine monthsended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets includes adjustmentsreducing the value $319 million and $327 million, respectively,and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $103million and $97 million, respectively. The various derivative financial instruments used to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value produced gains of $349 million and $372 million for thenine monthsended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded.

The following table details the fair value and unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 that were elected to be carried at fair value.

BB&T may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 that were still held on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 totaled $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. The September 30, 2011 amount consists of $734 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $950 million of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. The December 31, 2010 amount consists of $705 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $1.3 billion of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T recorded $71 million and $65 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $103 million and $108 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of foreclosed real estate. For the nine monthsended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T recorded $293 million and $480 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of impaired loans and $274 million and $397 million, respectively, in negative valuation adjustments of foreclosed real estate. These adjustments include periodic revaluations of the collateral underlying impaired loans and foreclosed real estate. The periodic revaluations are generally based on the appraised value of the property. BB&T's policies require that valuations be updated at least annually and that upon foreclosure, the valuation must not be aged greater than six months old, otherwise an updated appraisal is required.

During 2010, BB&T transferred certain problem held for investment loans to loans held for sale. These loans were adjusted to the lower of cost or market on the date of transfer. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $26 million of loans held for sale are being valued on BB&T's consolidated balance sheet at the lower of cost or market.

Additionally, accounting standards require the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value. A financial instrument is defined 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. For the financial instruments that BB&T does not record at fair value, estimates of fair value are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. Fair values are 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 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. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used by BB&T in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments.

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

Securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, current bids and offers, monthly payment information and collateral performance.

Loans receivable: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are deemed to be indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, internal credit risk models are used to adjust discount rates for risk migration and expected losses. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using a LIBOR based rate. 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. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. In addition, nonfinancial instruments such as core deposit intangibles are not recorded at fair value. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its customers through its deposit base and in the opinion of management, these items add significant value to BB&T.

Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and 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.

Contractual commitments: 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 rates. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based on the counterparties' creditworthiness and average default rates for loan products with similar risks. The fair values of commitments to fund affordable housing investments are estimated using the net present value of future commitments.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of those financial assets and liabilities that BB&T has not recorded at fair value:
			September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
			Carrying				Carrying
			Amount		Fair Value		Amount		Fair Value

BB&T uses a variety of derivative instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risks. These instruments consist of interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities, foreign exchange contracts and options written and purchased. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. There are five areas of risk management: balance sheet management, mortgage banking operations, mortgage servicing rights, net investment in a foreign subsidiary and client-related and other risk management activities.

Cash Flow Hedges

BB&T's floating rate business loans, overnight funding, FHLB advances, medium-term bank notes and long-term debt expose it to variability in cash flows for interest payments. The risk management objective for these floating rate assets and liabilities is to hedge the variability in the interest payments and receipts on future cash flows for forecasted transactions. These forecasted transactions include interest receipts on commercial loans and interest payments on 3 month LIBOR funding. All of BB&T's current cash flow hedges are hedging exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on then existing financial instruments.

For a qualifying cash flow hedge, the portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives that has been highly effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings. If a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, the gain or loss in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to earnings over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring during the forecast period or within a short period thereafter, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings immediately. During the nine monthsended September 30, 2011 and2010, BB&T amortized approximately ($23) million and $26 million of unrecognized pre-tax gains (losses) from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net interest income.

At September 30, 2011, BB&T had $253 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), compared to $75 million of unrecognized pre-tax losses at December 31, 2010. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12 months is a loss totaling approximately $39 million. This includes active hedges and gains and losses related to hedges that were terminated early for which the forecasted transactions are still probable. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities.

All cash flow hedges were highly effective for thenine months ended September 30, 2011, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.

Fair Value Hedges

BB&T's fixed rate long-term debt, certificates of deposit, FHLB advances, loan and state and political subdivision security assets result in exposure to losses in value as interest rates change. The risk management objective for hedging fixed rate assets and liabilities is to convert the fixed rate paid or received to a floating rate. BB&T accomplishes its risk management objective by hedging exposure to changes in fair value of fixed rate financial instruments primarily through the use of swaps. For a qualifying fair value hedge, changes in the value of the derivatives that have been highly effective as hedges are recognized in current period earnings along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.

During the nine monthsended September 30, 2011and 2010, BB&Tterminated certain fair value hedges primarily related to its long-term debt and received proceeds of $11 million and $152 million, respectively. When hedged debt/other financial instruments are retired or redeemed, the amounts associated with the hedge are included as a component of the gain or loss on termination. When a hedge is terminated but the hedged item remains outstanding, the proceeds from the termination of these hedges have been reflected as part of the carrying value of the underlying debt/other financial instrument and are being amortized to earnings over its estimated remaining life. The proceeds from these terminations were included in cash flows from financing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, BB&T recognized pre-tax benefits of $149 million and $47 million respectively through reductions of interest expense from previously unwound hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

Derivatives not designated as a hedge include those that are entered into as either balance sheet risk management instruments or to facilitate client needs. Balance sheet risk management hedges are those hedges that do not qualify to be treated as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or a foreign currency hedge for accounting purposes, but are necessary to economically manage the risk associated with an asset or liability.

This category of hedges includes derivatives that hedge mortgage banking operations and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). For mortgage loans originated for sale, BB&T is exposed to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date. BB&T's risk management strategy related to its interest rate lock commitment derivatives and loans held for sale includes using mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and options in order to mitigate market risk. For MSRs, BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in the fair value of its MSRs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, BB&T recorded a gain totaling $349 million related to these derivatives which was offset by a decrease in the carrying value of mortgage servicing assets totaling $319 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, BB&T recognized a $372 million gain on these derivatives, which was offset by a negative $327 million valuation adjustment related to the mortgage servicing asset.

BB&T also held, as risk management instruments, other derivatives not designated as hedges primarily to facilitate transactionson behalf of its clients, as well as activities related to balance sheet management.

Net Investment Hedges

In connection with a long-term investment in a foreign subsidiary, BB&T is exposed to changes in the carrying value of its investment as a result of changes in the related foreign exchange rate. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T used derivatives to hedge the variability in the value of its $73 million investment. For net investment hedges, changes in value of qualifying hedges are deferred in other comprehensive income (loss) when the terms of the derivative match the notional and currency risk being hedged. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) reflected unrecognized after-tax losses totaling $10 million and $11 million, respectively, related to cumulative changes in the fair value of BB&T's net investment hedge.

Derivatives Credit Risk

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. BB&T addresses the risk of loss by subjecting counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed certain negotiated limits.

As of September 30, 2011 BB&T had received cash collateral totaling $238 million related to derivatives in a gain position totaling $256 million and had posted collateral totaling $760 million including initial margin required by exchanges related to derivatives in a loss position totaling $700 million. As of December 31, 2010, BB&T had received cash collateral totaling $33 million, to cover derivatives in a gain position of similar value and had posted collateral totaling $605 million related to derivatives in a loss position totaling $612 million. In the event that BB&T's credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted would have increased by $5 million and $10 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

After collateral postings are considered, BB&T had $18 million of unsecured positions in a gain with derivative dealers at September 30, 2011 and had collateral sufficient to secure derivatives in a gain at December 31, 2010. All of the derivative contracts to which BB&T is a party settle monthly, quarterly or semiannually. In the case of contracts with derivative dealers, BB&T only transacts with dealers that are national market makers with strong credit ratings. Further, BB&T has netting agreements with the dealers with which it does business. Because of these factors, BB&T's credit risk exposure related to derivative dealers at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was not material.

Operating Segments

NOTE 17. Operating Segments

BB&T's operations are divided into seven reportable business segments: Community Banking, Residential Mortgage Banking, Sales Finance, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services, Financial Services 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 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 strategies. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP. The performance of the segments is not 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.

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. During the first quarter of 2011, we refined the process related to the allocated provision for loan and lease losses between the Company's operating segments. This process refinement was designed to achieve a higher degree of correlation between the allocated provision and the GAAP basis provision at the segment level, while at the same time providing management with a measure of operating performance that gives appropriate consideration to the risks inherent in each of the Company's operating segments.

Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a description of internal accounting policies and the basis of segmentation, including a description of the segments presented in the accompanying tables.

The following tables disclose selected financial information with respect to BB&T's reportable business segments for the periods indicated:

NOTE 9. Shareholders' Equity

Common Stock

The authorized common stock of BB&T consists of two billion shares with a $5 par value. There were 697 million and 694 million common shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Preferred Stock

The authorized preferred stock of BB&T consists of five million shares. At September 30, 2011 andDecember 31, 2010, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

Equity-Based Plans

At September 30, 2011, BB&T has options, restricted shares and restricted share units outstanding from the following equity-based compensation plans: the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), the 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”), the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (“Directors' Plan”), and a plan assumed from an acquired entity. BB&T's shareholders have approved all equity-based compensation plans with the exception of the plan assumed from an acquired entity. As of September 30, 2011, the 2004 Plan is the only plan that has shares available for future grants. The 2004 Plan allows for accelerated vesting of awards for holders who retire and have met all retirement eligibility requirements and in connection with certain other events. Refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further disclosures related to equity-based awards issued by BB&T.

BB&T measures the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants awarded during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Substantially all of BB&T's option awards are granted in February of each year. Therefore, the assumptions noted below are weighted accordingly:

		September 30,
		2011			2010
Assumptions:
	Risk-free interest rate		1.7	%		2.0	%
	Dividend yield		3.5			5.4
	Volatility factor		37.2			36.0
	Expected life		7.4	yrs		7.2	yrs
Fair value of options per share		$	7.45		$	5.60

BB&T measures the fair value of restricted shares based on the price of BB&T's common stock on the grant date and the fair value of restricted share units based on the price of BB&T's common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends that are foregone during the vesting period.

The following table details the activity during the first nine months of 2011 related to stock options awarded by BB&T:
		Nine Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies

BB&T utilizes a variety of financial instruments to meet the financing needs of clients and to reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees and derivatives. BB&T also has commitments to fund certain affordable housing investments and contingent liabilities related to certain sold loans.

Commitments to extend, originate or purchase credit are primarily lines of credit to businesses and consumers and have specified rates and maturity dates. Many of these commitments also have adverse change clauses, which allow BB&T to cancel the commitment due to deterioration in the borrowers' creditworthiness.

Letters of credit and financial guarantees written are unconditional commitments issued by BB&T to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuance, bond financing and similar transactions, the majority of which are to tax exempt entities. The credit risk involved in the issuance of these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and as such, the instruments are collateralized when necessary. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had issued letters of credit totaling $6.3 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability for such guarantees was $35million and $41 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or interest rate. For additional disclosures related to BB&T's derivatives refer to Note 15.

In the ordinary course of business, BB&T indemnifies its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities arising from pending litigation. BB&T also issues standard representation and warranties in underwriting agreements, merger and acquisition agreements, loan sales, brokerage activities and other similar arrangements. Counterparties in many of these indemnification arrangements provide similar indemnifications to BB&T. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these guarantees would materially change the financial position or results of operations of BB&T.

Merger and acquisition agreements of businesses other than financial institutions occasionally include additional incentives to the acquired entities to offset the loss of future cash flows previously received through ownership positions. Typically, these incentives are based on the acquired entity's contribution to BB&T's earnings compared to agreed-upon amounts. When offered, these incentives are typically issued for terms of three to five years. As certain provisions of these agreements do not specify dollar limitations, it is not possible to quantify the maximum exposure resulting from these agreements. However, based on recent payouts and current projections, any payments made in relation to these agreements are not expected to be material to BB&T's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In connection with the Colonial acquisition, Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC related to certain assets acquired. Pursuant to the terms of these loss sharing agreements, the FDIC's obligation to reimburse Branch Bank for losses with respect to certain loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”), certain investment securities and other assets (collectively, “covered assets”), begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. For additional information about the terms of the loss sharing agreements refer to BB&T's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

BB&T invests in certain affordable housing and historic building rehabilitation projects throughout its market area as a means of supporting local communities, and receives tax credits related to these investments. BB&T typically acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. Branch Bank typically provides financing during the construction and development of the properties; however, permanent financing is generally obtained from independent third parties upon completion of a project. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had investments of$1.2 billion related to these projects, which are included as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T's outstanding commitments to fund affordable housing investments totaled $278 million and $334 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which are included as other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had outstanding loan commitments to these funds of $144 million and $135 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $69 million and $36 million had been funded at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T's maximum risk exposure related to these investments totaled $1.3 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

BB&T has sold certain mortgage-related loans that contain recourse provisions. These provisions generally require BB&T to reimburse the investor for a share of any loss that is incurred after the disposal of the property. BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored entities. Refer to Note 6 for additional disclosures related to these exposures.

BB&T has investments and future funding commitments to certain venture capital funds. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had investments of $276 million and $266 million related to these ventures, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, BB&T had future funding commitments of $152 million and $185 million, respectively. BB&T's risk exposure relating to such commitments is generally limited to the amount of investments and future funding commitments made.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of the business of BB&T's banking and other subsidiaries ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. BB&T believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management's judgment as to what is in the best interests of BB&T and its shareholders.

The Company is a defendant in three separate cases primarily challenging the Company's daily ordering of debit transactions posted to customer checking accounts for the period from 2003 to 2010. The plaintiffs have requested class action treatment, however, no class has been certified. The court initially denied motions by the Company to dismiss these cases and compel them to be submitted to individual arbitration. The Company then filed appeals in all three matters. There have been numerous subsequent procedural developments, and at present the issues raised by these motions and/or appeals remain pending. If the motions or appeals are granted, they would preclude class action treatment. Even if those appeals are denied, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these matters, including class certification. Because of these appeals, and because these cases are in preliminary proceedings and no damages have been specified, no specific loss or range of loss can currently be determined.

On at least a quarterly basis, BB&T assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that BB&T will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, BB&T records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. For other matters, where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, BB&T has not accrued legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, BB&T's management believes that its established legal reserves are adequate and the liabilities arising from BB&T's legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to BB&T's consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.
