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 (referred to herein as BB&T, the Corporation or the Company), are fair statements of BB&Ts financial position at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&Ts results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and BB&Ts changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results 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&Ts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 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 Corporation (BB&T, the Company or Parent Company) 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 the Companys 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&Ts geographic footprint. Branch Bank also markets a wide range of deposit services to individuals and businesses. 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 (VIEs). VIEs 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.

Table of Contents
BB&T evaluates its investments in VIEs 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&Ts 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, other partnership interests and trusts that have issued capital securities. Please refer to Note 13 for additional disclosures regarding BB&Ts significant variable interest entities. BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership 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 Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock have been reclassified from securities available for sale to other assets in all periods presented. In certain other 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, 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 June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Transfers and Servicing. The objective of this guidance is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This guidance is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after December 31, 2009. The adoption of this guidance was not material to BB&Ts consolidated financial statements. In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Consolidation of variable interest entities. The objective of this guidance is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This guidance was effective as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance was not material to BB&Ts consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In February 2010, the 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 is 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 March 2010, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Receivables. The new guidance clarifies that a modification to a loan that is part of a pool of loans that were acquired with deteriorated credit quality should not result in the removal of the loan from the pool. This guidance is effective for any modifications of loans accounted for within a pool in the first interim or annual reporting period ending after July 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to BB&Ts 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 companys loan portfolios, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The new disclosures that relate to information as of the end of the reporting period is effective as of December 31, 2010, whereas the disclosures related to activity that occurred during the reporting periods is effective January 1, 2011. NOTE 2. Business Combinations Financial Institution Acquisitions On August 14, 2009, Branch Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to acquire certain assets and assume substantially all of the deposits and certain liabilities of Colonial Bank, an Alabama state-chartered bank headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama (Colonial). As further discussed in BB&Ts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, BB&T entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC related to certain loans, securities and other assets. Branch Bank did not immediately acquire the real estate, banking facilities, furniture or equipment of Colonial as part of the purchase and assumption agreement. However, under the terms of the agreement, Branch Bank had the option through February 1, 2010 to acquire these assets from the FDIC at their fair market value as of the acquisition date. Prior to the exercise of this option, these banking facilities and equipment were leased from the FDIC on a month-to-month basis. During the first quarter, Branch Bank purchased real estate, banking facilities, furniture and equipment from the FDIC at a cost of approximately $210 million. Branch Bank also had an option through February 1, 2010 to assume or repudiate certain lease agreements of Colonial. The repudiation or assumption of these lease agreements was finalized prior to the expiration of this option. The process to determine the fair value of the assumed lease obligations continued into the second quarter of 2010 during which BB&T recorded approximately $28 million of capital leases. On January 15, 2010, BB&T sold certain Nevada branch locations and approximately $850 million in deposits that were acquired from Colonial.

NOTE 3. Securities The amortized cost and approximate fair values of securities available for sale were as follows:
As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of covered securities included $1.1 billion of non-agency mortgage-backed securities and $309 million of municipal securities. As of December 31, 2009, the fair value of covered securities included $896 million of non-agency mortgage-backed securities and $305 million of municipal securities. All covered securities were acquired from Colonial and are covered by one of the FDIC loss share agreements, as further discussed in BB&Ts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, securities with carrying value of approximately $17.1 billion and $20.7 billion 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 June 30, 2010. The Fannie Mae investments had total amortized cost and fair values of $12.6 billion and $12.9 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2010, while Freddie Mac investments had total amortized cost and fair values of $5.0 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, non-agency mortgage-backed securities primarily consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities.

Table of Contents
The gross realized gains and losses and other than temporary impairments recognized in income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are reflected in the following table:
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities portfolio at June 30, 2010, 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 prepay the underlying mortgage loans with or without 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.
The following tables reflect the gross unrealized losses and fair values of BB&Ts investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at the dates presented.

Table of Contents
BB&T periodically evaluates available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary impairment. Based on its evaluations during the second quarter of 2010, BB&T recognized $37 million of other-than-temporary impairments which related to non-agency mortgage-backed securities, and of that amount $5 million was recognized in net income and $32 million was recorded in other comprehensive income. Based on its evaluations during the second quarter of 2009, BB&T recorded $1 million of other-than-temporary impairments in net income related to certain debt and equity securities. On June 30, 2010, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. As of June 30, 2010, the unrealized losses on these securities totaled $304 million. All of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and municipal securities. At June 30, 2010, 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 (a) bonds with an amortized cost of $3 million from one issuer of auction rate securities; (b) two municipal bonds with an amortized cost of $8 million; (c) sixteen non-agency mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $923 million and (d) one non-agency commercial mortgage-backed security with an amortized cost of $25 million. At June 30, 2010, the total unrealized loss on these non-investment grade securities was $224 million. All of the non-investment grade securities referenced above were initially investment grade and have been downgraded since purchase. BB&T evaluated all of its debt securities for credit impairment. Based on its evaluation at June 30, 2010, 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. The decline in fair value related to credit losses was recognized in net income. BB&Ts 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. See the Summary Analysis Supporting Conclusions section below for further details regarding BB&Ts below investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses. 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. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include:

Table of Contents
For certain U.S. mortgage-backed securities (and in particular for non-agency Alt-A, Prime and other mortgage-backed securities that have significant unrealized losses as a percentage of amortized cost), credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgage pools, using security-specific structure information. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loan pools and distributes those cash flows to the various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements that exist in each structure. The cash flow model projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including default rates, prepayment rates and recovery rates (on foreclosed properties). Management reviews the result of the cash flow model, internal credit analysis and other market observable information in its estimation of possible future credit losses. If management does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a mortgage-backed security, the Company records other-than-temporary impairment equal to the amount of expected credit losses in the mortgage-backed security. The remaining amount of unrealized loss is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Where a mortgage-backed security is not deemed to be credit impaired, management performs additional analysis to assess whether it intends to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before 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. Summary Analysis Supporting Conclusions The following table presents a detailed analysis of non-investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses that are not covered by a loss sharing arrangement, as the majority of potential losses related to covered securities would be reimbursed by the FDIC. The expected underlying collateral losses represent losses on the underlying mortgage pools supporting BB&Ts tranche. The benefits from subordination represent the amount of the expected losses the subordinate security holders are obligated to absorb prior to BB&T incurring a loss.

NOTE 4. Loans and Leases The following table provides a breakdown of BB&Ts loan portfolio as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:
Covered loans represent loans acquired from the FDIC subject to loss sharing agreements. Other acquired loans represent loans acquired from the FDIC that are not subject to loss sharing agreements. The following table reflects the carrying value of all purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:
13
Table of Contents
Changes in the carrying amount and accretable yield for purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans, excluding loans held for sale, were as follows for the six month period ended June 30, 2010:
The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased impaired loans as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $4.7 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. The outstanding unpaid principal balance for all purchased nonimpaired loans as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $5.8 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, none of the purchased impaired or purchased nonimpaired 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 credit losses related to the purchased loans results from decreased expectations of future cash flows for certain acquired loan pools. The following table sets forth certain information regarding BB&Ts impaired loans, excluding acquired impaired loans, that were evaluated for specific reserves:
The following table provides a summary of BB&Ts nonperforming and past due loans at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes loans that continue to accrue interest under the terms of restructurings (performing restructurings):
Troubled debt restructurings (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. Restructurings have most often occurred within BB&Ts commercial, mortgage and consumer loan portfolios. In connection with commercial restructurings, the decision to maintain a loan that has been restructured on accrual status is based on a current, well documented credit evaluation of the borrowers financial condition and prospects for repayment under the modified terms. This evaluation includes consideration of the borrowers current capacity to pay, which among other things may include a review of the borrowers current financial statements, an analysis of global cash flow sufficient to pay all debt obligations, and an evaluation of secondary sources of payment from the client and any guarantors. This evaluation also includes an evaluation of the borrowers current willingness to pay, which may include a review of past payment history, an evaluation of the borrowers willingness to provide information on a timely basis, and consideration of offers from the borrower to provide additional collateral or guarantor support. The credit evaluation also reflects consideration of the borrowers future capacity and willingness to pay, which may include evaluation of cash flow projections, consideration of the adequacy of collateral to cover all principal and interest and trends indicating improving profitability, collectability of receivables, etc. The evaluation of mortgage and consumer loans includes an evaluation of the clients debt to income ratio, credit report, property value, loan vintage, and certain other client-specific factors that have impacted their ability to make timely principal and interest payments on the loan.

NOTE 7. Loan Servicing Residential Mortgage Banking Activities The following table includes a summary of residential mortgage loans managed or securitized and related delinquencies and net charge-offs:
BB&T sold problem residential mortgages with a carrying value of $385 million from the mortgage loans held for investment portfolio and recorded write-downs on certain loans identified for sale during the second quarter of 2010. In connection with these actions, BB&T recorded $141 million of net charge-offs. The unpaid principal balances of BB&Ts total residential mortgage servicing portfolio were $77.9 billion and $73.6 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The unpaid principal balances of residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans and totaled $59.3 billion and $54.5 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, BB&T sold residential mortgage loans from the held for sale portfolio with unpaid principal balances of $8.7 billion and $13.5 billion, respectively, and recognized pretax gains of $79 million and $159 million, respectively, which were recorded in noninterest income as a component of mortgage banking income. BB&T retained the related mortgage servicing rights and receives servicing fees. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the approximate weighted average servicing fee was .36% and .38%, respectively, of the outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans. The weighted average coupon interest rate on the portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others was 5.43% and 5.74% at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. BB&T recognized servicing fees of $111 million and $87 million during the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively, as a component of mortgage banking income. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T had $1.9 billion and $2.0 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 $655 million and $667 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T has recorded $6 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures. In prior years, the Company securitized residential mortgage loans and retained the resulting securities available for sale. As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of the securities available for sale still owned by BB&T was $20 million and the remaining unpaid principal balance of the underlying loans totaled $19 million. Based on the performance of the underlying loans and general liquidity of the securities, the Companys recovery of the cost basis in the securities has not been significantly impacted by changes in interest rates, prepayment speeds or credit losses.

Table of Contents
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 of its residential mortgage servicing rights due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&Ts residential mortgage servicing rights for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:
BB&T uses assumptions and estimates in determining the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. These assumptions include prepayment speeds, servicing costs and Option Adjusted Spread (OAS) commensurate with the risks involved and comparable to assumptions used by market participants to value and bid servicing rights available for sale in the market. At June 30, 2010, 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.
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; however, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010
18
Table of Contents
and 2009, Grandbridge originated $908 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, of commercial real estate mortgages, primarily for third party investors. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Grandbridges portfolio of commercial real estate mortgages serviced for others totaled $23.8 billion and $24.3 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Grandbridge had $4.1 billion and $4.0 billion in loans serviced for others that were covered by recourse provisions at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Grandbridges maximum exposure to loss for these loans was approximately $1.1 billion. BB&T has recorded $15 million and $12 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Commercial mortgage servicing rights are recorded as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at 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&Ts commercial mortgage servicing rights for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:
At June 30, 2010, the sensitivity of the current fair value of the commercial mortgage servicing rights to adverse changes in key economic assumptions are included in the accompanying table.
The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As 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; however, 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.

BB&Ts shareholders have approved all equity-based compensation plans with the exception of plans assumed from acquired companies. As of June 30, 2010, the 2004 Plan is the only plan that has awards available for future grants. Please refer to BB&Ts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 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 six months of 2010 and 2009. Substantially all of BB&Ts option awards are granted in February of each year. Therefore, the assumptions noted below are weighted accordingly.
BB&T measures the fair value of restricted shares based on the price of BB&Ts common stock on the grant date and the fair value of restricted share units based on the price of BB&Ts 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 six months of 2010 related to stock options awarded by BB&T:

NOTE 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The balances in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are shown in the following table.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, unrealized net losses on securities available for sale included $130 million and $114 million, respectively, of pre-tax losses related to other-than-temporarily impaired non-agency mortgage-backed securities where a portion of the loss was recognized in net income.

NOTE 11. Income Taxes BB&Ts provision for income taxes was $25 million and $41 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $73 million and $155 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 10.0% and 16.5%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 14.9% and 22.8%, respectively. The lower effective tax rates are primarily the result of an increase in tax credits and a relatively equal level of tax-exempt income on a lower level of pre-tax income. The IRS has completed its federal income tax examinations of BB&T through 2006. In connection with the settlement agreement with the IRS regarding its leveraged lease transactions, BB&T is entitled to federal income tax refunds for tax years 1998-2006. During the first six months of 2010, BB&T received federal tax refunds including interest of approximately $354 million for tax years 1998-2005 and expects to receive additional federal tax refunds of approximately $25 million for tax year 2006 later in 2010. 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 deconsolidated subsidiary in connection with a financing transaction. Management has consulted with outside counsel and continues to believe that BB&Ts treatment of this transaction was in compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations. BB&T paid the disputed tax, penalties and interest, and filed a lawsuit seeking a refund in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in March 2010. Management believes the Companys current reserves for this matter are adequate, although the final outcome is uncertain. 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. 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 combination. 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&Ts plans. Please refer to BB&Ts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for descriptions and disclosures about the various benefit plans offered by BB&T.

The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized for BB&Ts pension plans for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:
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. Discretionary contributions of $61 million and $422 million were made to the qualified pension plan in the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Management currently has no plans to make any additional contributions to the qualified pension plan in 2010; however, management may elect to make additional contributions during 2010 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 of 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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T had issued letters of credit totaling $7.8 billion and $8.0 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability for such guarantees was $36 million and $40 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

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. These instruments include interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities, foreign exchange contracts and options written and purchased. 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. BB&T also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. BB&T held a variety of derivative financial instruments with notional values of $64.2 billion and $66.2 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These instruments were in a net gain position of $279 million and $283 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. 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 condition 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 entitys contribution to BB&Ts 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. As previously discussed, BB&T entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC in connection with the Colonial acquisition. The provisions of the agreements may require a payment by BB&T to the FDIC on October 15, 2019. On that date, BB&T is required to pay the FDIC 55% of the excess, if any, of (i) $1 billion over (ii) the sum of (A) 25% of the total net amounts paid to BB&T under both of the loss sharing agreements (i.e., BB&Ts payments received from the FDIC for losses, offset by BB&Ts payments made to the FDIC for recoveries) plus (B) 20% of the deemed total cost to BB&T of administering the assets covered under the loss sharing agreements other than shared loss securities. The deemed total cost to BB&T of administering the covered assets is the sum of 2% of the average of the principal amount of shared loss loans and shared loss assets (other than the shared loss securities) based on the beginning and end of year balances for each of the 10 years during which the shared loss agreements are in effect. In addition, any payments made by either party with respect to the securities with a 95% loss share will be excluded from this calculation. 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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T had investments of $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion related to these projects, which are included as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&Ts outstanding commitments to fund affordable housing investments totaled $255 million and $371 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which are included as other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T had outstanding loan commitments to these funds of $135 million and $165 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $41 million and $73 million had been funded at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&Ts maximum risk exposure related to these investments totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. 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. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T had $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans sold with recourse. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has maximum recourse exposure of approximately $655

million and $667 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. In addition, BB&T has $4.1 billion and $4.0 billion in commercial loans serviced for others that were covered by recourse provisions at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&Ts maximum exposure to loss for these loans is approximately $1.1 billion. BB&T has recorded $21 million and $18 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. BB&T has investments and future funding commitments to certain venture capital funds. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T had investments of $272 million and $281 million related to these ventures, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T had future funding commitments of $159 million and $183 million, respectively. BB&Ts risk exposure relating to such commitments is generally limited to the amount of investments and future funding commitments made. BB&T has made loan commitments to special purpose entities as a nontransferor lender. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, BB&T had loan commitments to these entities totaling $190 million and $211 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $139 million and $160 million, respectively, had been funded and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 held for sale at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting standards (the Fair Value Option). Accounting standards have established a framework for measuring fair value and defines 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. 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. U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSE) and Mortgage-backed securities issued by GSE: These are debt securities issued by government sponsored entities. BB&Ts valuations are based on a market approach using observable inputs such as benchmark yields and securities, TBA prices, reported trades, issuer spreads, monthly payment information and collateral performance. States and political subdivisions: These are debt securities issued by states and political subdivisions. BB&Ts 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&Ts 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. Equity and 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 and municipal securities. These securities were priced primarily through broker-dealer quotes. 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&Ts 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&Ts brokerage subsidiary Scott & Stringfellow, LLC. The tables below present reconciliations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

BB&Ts policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of the reporting period. During the first six months of 2010, BB&T transferred $76 million of trading securities and $17 million of auction rate securities issued by municipalities, from Level 3 to Level 2 as a result of increased market activity for these securities. During the second quarter of 2009, BB&T transferred $11 million of trading securities into Level 3 from Level 2 as a result of decreased market activity for these securities. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfers of securities between Level 2 and Level 3 in either the three or six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009, respectively. BB&T has investments in venture capital funds and other similar investments that are measured at fair value based on the investments 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 2018. As of June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010. The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets are composed of a negative valuation adjustment of $232 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $31 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets are composed of a positive valuation adjustment of $137 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $32 million. BB&T uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the derivative instruments produced gains of $241 million and losses of $114 million, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) reported for mortgage servicing rights assets are composed of a negative valuation adjustment of $227 million and a positive valuation adjustment of $91 million and the realization of expected residential mortgage servicing rights cash flows of $62 million and $64 million, respectively. The various derivative financial instruments used to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value produced gains of $240 million and losses of $40 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which offset the valuation adjustments recorded.

The following table details the fair value and unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 that were elected to be carried at fair value.
Also, 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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 that were still held on the balance sheet at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 totaled $2.7 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively. The June 30, 2010 amount consists of $1.3 billion of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $1.4 billion of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. The December 31, 2009 amount consists of $941 million of impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $1.5 billion of foreclosed real estate, excluding covered foreclosed real estate, that were classified as Level 3 assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, BB&T recorded $256 million and $111 million, respectively, in losses related to write-downs of impaired loans and $193 million and $27 million, respectively, in losses related to write-downs of foreclosed real estate. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, BB&T recorded $415 million and $189 million, respectively, in losses related to write-downs of impaired loans and $318 million and $43 million, respectively, in losses related to write-downs of foreclosed real estate. These write-downs are generally based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral. 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&Ts 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. 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. The interest rates being offered by BB&T for new loans with similar terms and credit quality are reflective of credit risk and liquidity spreads inherent in an orderly transaction in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, internal credit risk models are used to adjust discount rates for risk

migration since inception. 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, i.e., their carrying amounts. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. 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&Ts 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:
