described in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus. 





                                    1
<PAGE>
    All properly executed proxy cards delivered pursuant to this solicitation
and not revoked will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the
directions given.  IF NO SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN WITH REGARD TO THE
MATTERS TO BE VOTED UPON, THE SHARES OF BOL COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY A SIGNED
PROXY CARD WILL BE VOTED "FOR" THE PROPOSAL LISTED ON THE PROXY CARD. IF ANY
OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE SPECIAL MEETING, THE PERSONS NAMED AS
PROXIES WILL VOTE UPON SUCH MATTERS ACCORDING TO THEIR JUDGMENT. 

    Proxies may be revoked at any time before the Special Meeting by written
notice to the Secretary of BOL, by submission of a duly executed proxy bearing a
later date or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person.  All
written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to
revocation of proxies should be addressed as follows: Bank of Loudoun, Post
Office Box 2627, Leesburg, Virginia 22075, Attention: John E. Skilton,
Secretary. 

    HOLDERS OF BOL COMMON STOCK ARE REQUESTED TO COMPLETE, DATE AND SIGN THE
ACCOMPANYING PROXY AND RETURN IT PROMPTLY TO BOL IN THE ACCOMPANYING POSTAGE-
PAID ENVELOPE. 

    Solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, telegram or personally by
directors, officers and regular employees of BOL, none of whom will receive
additional compensation for performing such services.  BOL will bear the expense
of solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting and will reimburse banks,
brokers and nominees for their out-of-pocket expenses in sending materials to
the beneficial owners of shares of BOL Common Stock held by them. 

   
    Only holders of record of BOL Common Stock at the close of business on June
14, 1994 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Special Meeting.  As of May 1, 1994, there were 501,596 shares of BOL Common
Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, held of record by approximately 366
shareholders, with each share entitled to one vote.  As of May 1, 1994,
approximately 119,730 of the outstanding shares of BOL Common Stock were
beneficially owned by directors and executive officers of BOL and their
affiliates.  See "Information about BOL--Beneficial Ownership of BOL Common
Stock." 
    

    The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding
shares of BOL Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Special
Meeting.  The affirmative vote of the holders of more than 66-2/3% of the shares
of BOL Common Stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote (whether or not
represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting) is required to approve
the Merger Agreement.  BOL believes that substantially all of the 119,730 shares
held by directors and executive officers of BOL, constituting approximately
23.9% of the outstanding BOL Common Stock, will be voted in favor of the Merger.
If all such shares are voted as anticipated, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a minimum of 214,668 additional shares, constituting approximately
42.8% of the outstanding BOL Common Stock, will be required to assure approval
of the Merger Agreement.

THE PROPOSED MERGER

  GENERAL 

    Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, BOL will be merged with and into
JNB.  As the surviving corporation, JNB will remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Jefferson Bankshares. 

    The Shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock currently outstanding will
remain outstanding shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock.  Shares of BOL
Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. 
Certificates representing shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock received
as a result of the Merger will be issued after consummation of the Merger and,
in accordance with the Merger Agreement, upon surrender of certificates
representing shares of BOL Common Stock. 

    Consummation of the Merger is subject to approval of shareholders and of
regulatory authorities and to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  See "The
Proposed Merger - OCC Approval Process; Opinion of Financial Advisor; Conditions
to the Merger." It is expected that all conditions can be satisfied and
approvals received by September 30, 1994.  See "The Proposed Merger--Effective
Date of the Merger." 

    Upon consummation of the Merger, the office of BOL will become an office of
JNB. 

   
CONVERSION RATIO 

    Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of BOL Common
Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock.  In addition, each outstanding stock option of BOL will
be converted into an option to acquire shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common
Stock.  See "The Proposed Merger -- Conversion Ratio" and "The Proposed
Merger -- Outstanding Stock Options."
    
  
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

    The Board of Directors of BOL approved the Merger and believes that the
Merger is in the best interest of BOL and its shareholders.  It recommends that
its shareholders vote in favor of the Merger.  See "The Proposed Merger--
Background and Reasons for the Merger." 
  
OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR 

    The Board of Directors of BOL has received an opinion from McKinnon &
Company, Inc., its financial advisor, to the effect that the financial terms of
the proposed transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to the BOL
Shareholders.  The text of the opinion of McKinnon & Company, Inc., is attached
as Appendix B hereto.  See "The Proposed Merger--Opinion of Financial 
Advisor."
  
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES 

    The consummation of the Merger is subject to the receipt by BOL and
Jefferson Bankshares of an opinion of counsel, based on the representations and
assumptions set forth therein, to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a
"reorganization" as that term is defined in Section 368 of the 

                                     3
<PAGE>

Internal Revenue Code of 1986; that no taxable gain or loss will be recognized 
by the parties to the Merger Agreement upon consummation of the Merger; that 
no taxable gain or loss will be recognized by BOL Shareholders on the exchange 
of BOL Common Stock for Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock; and that the basis 
of such BOL Common Stock will include the holding period of the BOL Common 
Stock surrendered in exchange therefor, if such BOL Common Stock is a capital 
asset in the hands of the BOL Shareholder at the Effective Date.  A BOL 
Shareholder who dissents from the Merger and receives cash in lieu of shares 
of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock in the Merger will ordinarily recognize a 
taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash 
received and the BOL Shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares exchanged 
therefor.  See "The Proposed Merger--Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."
  
THE OPTION 
   
    As a condition of Jefferson Bankshares' entering into the Merger Agreement,
and in consideration therefor, Jefferson Bankshares and BOL entered into an
Option Agreement dated as of April 4, 1994 (the "Option Agreement").  The Option
Agreement is intended to increase the likelihood that the Merger will be
consummated by making it more difficult and more expensive for another party to
obtain control of or acquire BOL.  Under the terms of the Option Agreement, BOL
has granted Jefferson Bankshares an option (the "Option") to purchase up to
100,000 shares of BOL Common Stock at a price of $14 per share.  Jefferson
Bankshares may exercise the Option only upon the occurrence of certain events
(none of which has occurred) and upon obtaining any regulatory approvals
necessary for the acquisition of the shares of BOL Common Stock subject to the
Option. The Option Agreement provides that the Option will terminate upon the
termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the provisions thereof. 
See "The Proposed Merger--The Option." 
    
  
APPRAISAL RIGHTS 

    Under federal banking law (12 U.S.C.  (section mark)215a(b) through (d)),
any BOL Shareholder may receive payment for stock if the shareholder perfects
appraisal rights.  To perfect such rights, a BOL Shareholder must either vote
against the Merger at the Special Meeting or give written notice to BOL, either
before or at the Special Meeting, that such BOL Shareholder dissents from the
Merger.  Within 30 days after consummation of the Merger, such BOL Shareholder
must also send to JNB a written request to receive the value of such BOL
Shareholder's shares and at the same time surrender certificates for shares of
BOL Common Stock to JNB. If a BOL Shareholder dissents from the Merger, the
amount such BOL Shareholder will receive for his BOL Common Stock will be
determined by an appraisal.  The amount paid will not necessarily be the value
of the Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock such BOL Shareholder would have
otherwise received.  See "The Proposed Merger--Appraisal Rights."

  RESTRICTIONS ON SALE OF JEFFERSON BANKSHARES COMMON STOCK AFTER THE MERGER 

    The Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock to be issued in the Merger may be
subject to certain restrictions on the resale of such securities.  See "The
Proposed Merger--Restrictions on Sale of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock
After the Merger." 
  
  ACCOUNTING TREATMENT 

    It is a condition to consummation of the Merger that the Merger be
accounted for as a pooling of interests for accounting and financial reporting
purposes.  See "The Proposed Merger--Accounting Treatment." 

  INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER 

    The Merger Agreement contains provisions which require Jefferson Bankshares
to (i) expand its Northern Region Board of Directors and to appoint two current
non-employee directors of BOL to that Board, (ii) appoint the remaining non-
employee directors of BOL and all of the non-employee members of BOL's advisory
board to a local advisory board of JNB for Loudoun County, and (iii) to employ
BOL's President and Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth L. Crovo, as a Senior Vice
President of JNB, for a period of three years.  Other than as set forth above,
no director or executive officer of Jefferson Bankshares or BOL has any direct
or indirect material interest in the Merger.  See "The Proposed Merger--Effect
of the Merger Upon Operations" and "The Proposed Merger--Employment of
Kenneth L. Crovo."

    The following tabulation presents historical per share data for Jefferson
Bankshares and BOL, pro forma combined per share data, and equivalent share data
showing the value of one share of BOL Common Stock in the combined corporation. 
Such data is based on and should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements for Jefferson Bankshares and subsidiaries,
historical financial statements for BOL and pro forma combined financial data. 
The pro forma combined amounts give effect to the exchange of one share of
Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock for each share of BOL Common Stock in
accordance with the pooling-of-interests method of accounting under generally
accepted accounting principles.  For a description of the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting with respect to the Merger and the related effects on the
historical consolidated financial statements of Jefferson Bankshares and
subsidiaries, see "The Proposed Merger--Accounting Treatment." The per share
data presented below is not necessarily indicative of the results of future
operations of the combined entity or the actual results that would have been
achieved had the Merger been consummated prior to the dates or period indicated.

    (1) Pro forma combined dividends declared per share are computed by dividing
the total of the actual dividends declared by Jefferson Bankshares and BOL
during each period by the average number of pro forma shares outstanding during
the respective periods. 

    (2) The equivalent share data allow comparisons of historical information
about one share of BOL Common Stock to the corresponding data about what one
share of BOL Common Stock will equate to in the combined corporation.  The
amounts are computed by multiplying pro forma net income per share, pro forma
cash dividends declared per share, and pro forma book value per share by 1.0,
the number of shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock to be exchanged for
one share of BOL Common Stock.

                             THE PROPOSED MERGER


GENERAL 

    Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Merger Agreement provides for
the merger of BOL with and into JNB.  The Merger Agreement also provides for the
conversion of shares of BOL Common Stock into the right to receive shares of
Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock.  See "The Proposed Merger--Conversion
Ratio." JNB is a national banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Jefferson Bankshares.  JNB, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, will
continue its business (and the business of BOL) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Jefferson Bankshares. 

    The following is a brief description of certain important terms of the
Merger and the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Appendix A and
which is incorporated herein by reference. The information concerning the Merger
Agreement in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement. 


BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER 

    The Merger offers several benefits to BOL and its customers, employees and
shareholders. The financial services industry is constantly increasing in
complexity and competitiveness.  The Boards of Directors of BOL and Jefferson
Bankshares believe that the Merger will help in responding to these changes. 

   
    Customers of BOL will have access to a much larger banking network with
greater services. These greater services include trust, brokerage, and higher
lending limits.  Employees will benefit from having continued stable employment,
an expanded range of career opportunities and an expanded benefit package. BOL
Shareholders will benefit from receiving shares of a publicly traded company
with a regular history of providing dividends.  To date, BOL has not paid any
dividends. 
    

    The Merger will permit Jefferson Bankshares to strengthen its position in a
rapidly growing area of Virginia presently being served by JNB. 

    On October 23, 1993, BOL's Board of Directors met at a strategic planning
retreat and considered various proposals for the bank's future, including
proposals to remain as a stand-alone community bank, to affiliate with one or
more other community banks, and to merge BOL with a regional community bank,
statewide bank or another financial institution.  It was the consensus of BOL's
Board of Directors that BOL's management actively pursue the possibility of a
merger. Following the meeting, BOL's management discussed the possibility of a
merger with the investment banking firm of McKinnon & Company, Inc. ("McKinnon &
Company").  BOL engaged McKinnon & Company to serve as its financial advisor in
connection with a possible merger or sale of assets to another financial
institution. 



                                        11
<PAGE>

    In November, 1993, McKinnon & Company introduced BOL to Jefferson Bankshares
and arranged for an informal meeting between Mr. Crovo and officers of Jefferson
Bankshares.  Initial discussions with respect to the potential merger of BOL and
JNB began in December, 1993.  On January 11, 1994, the parties reached an
agreement in principle to merge BOL into JNB conditioned upon, among other
things, the negotiation of a definitive Merger Agreement.  In March 1994, the
Boards of Directors of BOL and Jefferson Bankshares approved a definitive Merger
Agreement, including the Option Agreement.  The Board of Directors of BOL
believes that the terms of the proposed Merger, including the conversion ratio,
which were determined on the basis of arm's length negotiations, are fair and
equitable and take into account the relative earning power and financial
condition of Jefferson Bankshares and BOL, based upon both historical and
anticipated operations, financial positions and other relevant factors. 

    In analyzing the proposed Merger, the Board of Directors of BOL focused its
inquiry and examination on, among other things, the financial condition and
results of operations of Jefferson Bankshares, the fact that Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock is publicly traded, and the tax-free nature of the
Merger. 

    For the reasons described above, the Board of Directors of BOL approved the
Merger Agreement and recommends that BOL Shareholders vote FOR approval of the
Merger Agreement. 


EFFECT OF THE MERGER UPON OPERATIONS 
   
    Upon completion of the Merger, BOL will cease to be a separate bank, and
its office will become an office of JNB.  JNB will be responsible for all
liabilities, contracts and obligations of BOL and will succeed to all of BOL's
property and contract rights.  The employees of BOL will become employees of
JNB.  Two current non-employee members of the Board of Directors of BOL will
become members of JNB's Northern Region Board of Directors and the remaining
non-employee members of the Board of Directors of BOL, and all non-employee
members of its Advisory Board, will become members of JNB's Advisory Board for
Loudoun County, Virginia.  In addition, Kenneth L. Crovo, President and Chief
Executive Officer of BOL, will become a Senior Vice President of JNB. See "The
Proposed Merger--Employment of Kenneth L. Crovo." 
    


CONVERSION RATIO 

    On the Effective Date, each issued and outstanding share of BOL Common
Stock (other than those shares as to which appraisal rights under federal
banking law have been perfected) will be converted into the right to receive one
share of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock.  The conversion ratio was determined
on the basis of arm's length negotiations, which took into account relative
earning power and financial condition of Jefferson Bankshares and BOL, based
upon both historical and anticipated operations, financial positions and other
relevant factors. 




                                        12
<PAGE>

    If prior to the Effective Date Jefferson Bankshares declares or pays any
stock dividend to the holders of record of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock
prior to the Effective Date, or otherwise splits, combines or reclassifies its
shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock, then the number of shares of
Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock payable to the holders BOL Common Stock in the
Merger will be appropriately adjusted to give effect to such stock dividend,
stock split, combination or reclassification. 

   
    Except as described in the preceding paragraph, the conversion ratio in
the Merger is fixed and will not be adjusted upward or downward as the result of
changes in the market price of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock.  Accordingly,
if the Merger Agreement is approved, BOL Shareholders will bear the economic
risk of a decrease in the market price of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock will
decline between the date of this Proxy Statement-Prospectus and the Effective
Date. If a decrease in the market price of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock
occurs, then the shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock issuable to BOL
Shareholders on the Effective Date will have a lesser value. Conversely, if the
market price of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock increases during the period,
then the BOL Shareholders will receive shares having greater value. 
    

EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE MERGER 

    Upon the approval of the Merger Agreement by BOL Shareholders, the approval
of the OCC, and upon the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set
forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger will become effective on the date (the
"Effective Date") stated in the Certification Letter issued by the OCC.  The
parties anticipate that the Merger will become effective during the third
quarter of 1994.  See "The Proposed Merger--OCC Approval Process" and "The
Proposed Merger--Conditions to the Merger ." 


OUTSTANDING STOCK OPTIONS 
   
    Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, BOL has agreed to use its best
efforts to cause the holders of outstanding stock options or stock awards, as
the case may be, (i) to exercise such options or awards at the applicable
exercise price or (ii) to execute agreements canceling and surrendering, at no
cost to Jefferson Bankshares or JNB, their options or awards on the Effective
Date.  Any outstanding stock options or awards that have not been exercised or
canceled as of the Effective Date will be converted to options or awards to
acquire an equivalent number of shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock. 
However, shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock issuable to the holder of
any such option or award after the Effective Date will be issued in reliance
upon an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.  Accordingly, they will
be restricted shares and the holder thereof will not be permitted to sell or
transfer them in the absence of registration or an exemption from registration
under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws. 
    

    As of March 31, 1994, there were BOL stock options or awards outstanding
entitling the holders thereof to purchase, in the aggregate, 37,104 shares of
BOL Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share.

OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR 

    BOL has retained McKinnon & Company to act as its financial advisor in
connection with the Merger and McKinnon & Company has rendered its opinion to
the Board of Directors of BOL that the consideration to be paid to the BOL
Shareholders in connection with the Merger is fair to the BOL Shareholders from
a financial point of view.  During the course of its engagement, and as a basis
for arriving at its opinion, McKinnon & Company reviewed and analyzed material
bearing upon the financial and operating condition of BOL and Jefferson
Bankshares and material prepared in connection with the Merger, including, among
other things, the following: (1) the Merger Agreement and the Option Agreement;
(2) the Form S-4 Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection
with the Merger; (3) BOL's financial statements for the three years ended
December 31, 1993, as audited and examined by BOL's independent certified public
accounting firm; (4) BOL's unaudited financial statements for the three months
ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 and other internal information relating to BOL
prepared by BOL's management; (5) information regarding the trading market for
the common stocks of BOL and Jefferson Bankshares and the price ranges within
which the respective stocks have traded; (6) the relationship of prices paid to
relevant financial data such as net worth, loans, deposits and earnings in
certain bank and bank holding company mergers and acquisitions in Virginia in
recent years; and (7) Jefferson Bankshares' annual reports to shareholders and
audited financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 1993,
Jefferson Bankshares' unaudited financial statements for the three months ended
March 31, 1994, and other unaudited, internal information relating to Jefferson
Bankshares.  In addition, McKinnon & Company discussed with members of
management of BOL and Jefferson Bankshares the background to the Merger, the
reasons and basis for the Merger and the business and future prospects of BOL
and Jefferson Bankshares individually and as a combined entity and took into
account its assessment of general economic, financial market and industry
conditions as they existed and could be evaluated at the date of its opinion, as
well as its experience in business valuation in general.  McKinnon & Company
also conducted such other studies, analyses and investigations, particularly of
the banking industry, and considered such other information as it deemed
appropriate.  No instructions or limitations were given or imposed by BOL in
connection with the scope of or the examination or investigation made by
McKinnon & Company in arriving at its findings. 

    In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, McKinnon & Company
relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the information
furnished to it by or on behalf of BOL and Jefferson Bankshares.  It did not
attempt independently to verify such information, nor did it make an independent
appraisal of the assets of BOL or Jefferson Bankshares. 

    A copy of the opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters
considered and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached as Appendix B
hereto and should be read in its entirety. 

    McKinnon & Company's opinion is directed only to the financial
consideration and does not constitute a recommendation to any BOL Shareholder as
to how such shareholder should vote at the Special Meeting.  The summary of the
opinion set forth in this Proxy Statement-Prospectus is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. 



                                        14
<PAGE>

    The Board of Directors of BOL selected McKinnon & Company to serve as its
financial advisor based upon, among other considerations, its expertise and
experience in working with community banks in Virginia.  McKinnon & Company, as
part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the evaluation
of businesses, particularly banks, and their securities, in connection with
mergers and acquisitions, secondary distributions of debt and equity, initial
public offerings, private placements and evaluations for estate planning and
corporate recapitalizations.  The Board of Directors of BOL believes that
McKinnon & Company has a thorough working knowledge of the banking industry
throughout Virginia, including potential acquirors. 

    Pursuant to the terms of McKinnon & Company's engagement letter, which was
accepted by BOL on January 10, 1994, BOL has agreed to pay McKinnon & Company a
cash fee in an amount equal to one percent of the market value of the Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock issuable to BOL Shareholders for acting as its financial
advisor in connection with the Merger, including the rendering of its fairness
opinion.  Accordingly, at the Effective Date, McKinnon & Company will be
entitled to receive a cash fee of $110,844 (assuming that the market value of
Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock on the Effective Date is 20.50, which was the
closing price of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock on May 6, 1994 and that all
outstanding BOL stock options and awards are exercised on or before the
Effective Date).  McKinnon & Company's fee is wholly contingent upon the
completion of the Merger. 


EMPLOYMENT OF KENNETH L. CROVO 

    The consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things,
Kenneth L. Crovo's having entered into an employment agreement with JNB (the
"Crovo Employment Agreement").  Mr. Crovo is BOL's President and Chief Executive
Officer. 

    Under the terms of the Crovo Employment Agreement, JNB will employ Mr.
Crovo as a Senior Vice President for a three-year term beginning on the
Effective Date.  As compensation for Mr. Crovo's services, JNB will pay Mr.
Crovo an annual salary of $107,500 during the first year, $115,000 during the
second year, and $122,500 during the third year.  In addition, Mr. Crovo will be
entitled to participate in bonus plans adopted by JNB from time to time for
employees of comparable grade and responsibility and will receive certain other
benefits. 


EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES 

    JNB, acting through its trust department, or its designee, will serve as the
Exchange Agent for the BOL Shareholders.  Immediately prior to the Effective
Date, Jefferson Bankshares will cause to be delivered to the Exchange Agent
certificates representing the number of shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common
Stock which the holders of shares of BOL Common Stock are entitled to receive as
a result of the Merger. 

    As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent will
mail to each shareholder of record of BOL immediately prior to the Effective
Date a letter of transmittal which shall contain instructions for surrendering
BOL Common Stock certificates for certificates 

                                     15
<PAGE>

representing shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock.  The letter of
transmittal will specify that title to any certificate being submitted for
exchange shall pass only upon delivery of such certificate to, and receipt of
such certificate by, the Exchange Agent.  Upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of
any such certificate, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, such
certificate shall be cancelled and the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the
former holder of such certificate (or his transferee, as provided below) a
certificate representing the number of shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common
Stock to which such former holder shall be entitled. 

    If any certificate representing a share or shares of Jefferson Bankshares
Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the BOL Common
Stock certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a
condition of the issuance thereof that the BOL Common Stock certificate
surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for
transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall (i) pay to the
Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of
a certificate representing shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock in any
name other than that of the registered holder of the BOL Common Stock
Certificate surrendered or (ii) establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange
Agent that such tax has been paid or that no such tax is payable. 

    After the Effective Date there will be no transfers on the stock transfer
books of BOL of the shares of BOL Common Stock which were issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Date. 

    No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Date with
respect to Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock, and payable to the holders of
record thereof after the Effective Date, will be paid to the holder of any
unsurrendered BOL Common Stock certificate until the holder of record has
surrendered such certificate for exchange.  Subject to the effect, if any, of
applicable law, upon the surrender of a BOL Common Stock certificate for
exchange, the holder thereof will be entitled to receive such dividends or other
distributions, without interest thereon, as he would have been entitled to
receive had he surrendered such certificate for exchange immediately after the
Effective Date.  All dividends or other distributions declared after the
Effective Date with respect to Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock, and payable to
the holders of record thereof after the Effective Date, which are payable to
holders of BOL Common Stock certificates not theretofore surrendered for
exchange as described herein shall be paid or delivered by Jefferson Bankshares
to the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of such holders. 

    All dividends or other distributions held by the Exchange Agent for payment
to the holders of unsurrendered BOL Common Stock certificates and unclaimed at
the end of one year from the Effective Date will be delivered to Jefferson
Bankshares by the Exchange Agent, after which time any holders of BOL Common
Stock certificates who have not theretofore surrendered such certificates for
exchange will be required, subject to applicable law, to look only to Jefferson
Bankshares, as a general creditor, for payment of such dividends or
distributions, without interest thereon. 

    Any certificates for shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock delivered
to the Exchange Agent under the provisions of the Merger Agreement and not
exchanged for shares of BOL Common
                                    16
<PAGE>

Stock within one year after the Effective Date shall be returned to Jefferson
Bankshares by the Exchange Agent, and Jefferson Bankshares shall thereafter act
as exchange agent.
 
OCC APPROVAL PROCESS 
   
    In connection with the proposed Merger, Jefferson Bankshares caused JNB to
submit a merger application to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(the "OCC") for approval on May 4, 1994. The OCC advised JNB that it had
accepted the application and had sent copies of the application to the
Department of Justice (the "DOJ"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(the "FDIC"), and the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB") for their
views on the competitive effects of the proposed Merger.  By statute, the DOJ,
the FDIC and the FRB generally have 30 days to review and comment on the
application. 
    

    In addition, JNB and BOL must jointly publish their intention to merge
three times during a 30-day period.  By statute, the public comment period for
the proposed Merger is 30 days commencing on the date of the first publication. 

   
    Following receipt of the application, the OCC performed an analysis
of the application. The OCC strives to preserve the soundness of the national
banking system and to promote market structures conducive to competition. 
Normally, it will approve a merger that would not have a substantially adverse
effect on competition and would be beneficial to the merging depository
institutions and to the public.  Generally, the OCC will not approve a merger
that would result in substantially adverse competitive effects, unless the
probable effects of the merger on improved convenience and needs clearly
outweigh the adverse effects.  In evaluating the Merger, the OCC considered
various factors, including the effect of the transaction on competition; the
convenience and needs of the community to be served; the financial history of
the merging institutions; the condition of the merging depository institutions,
including capital, management and earnings prospects; the existence of insider
transactions; and the adequacy of disclosure of the terms of the Merger. 
    

   
    By letter dated June 15, 1994, the OCC informed Jefferson Bankshares that it
has approved the Merger application, subject to certain standard conditions,
including consummation of the Merger on or before June 15, 1995. The Merger
cannot be consummated until 30 days after the OCC grants preliminary approval.
During the 30-day waiting period, the DOJ may seek an injunction that prohibits
consummation.  In addition, JNB must advise the OCC at least 10 days before the
desired effective date for the Merger so that the OCC may issue a letter
certifying the Merger.  The OCC will issue a certification letter (the
"Certification Letter") if JNB has met all conditions specified in its approval
letter.  The Merger must be consummated within one year from the date of the
OCC's preliminary approval or the approval will lapse.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS 
   
    Under 12 U.S.C. (section mark)215a(b) through (d), any BOL Shareholder who
has voted against the Merger at the Special Meeting, or who has before or at
the Special Meeting given written notice to BOL that he or she dissents from the
Merger will be entitled to receive the value of the shares held by such BOL
Shareholder upon written request made to JNB (sometimes hereinafter referred to
as the "Receiving Bank") at any time before 30 days after the Effective Date, if
such request is accompanied by the surrender of his or her stock certificates.
Failure either to vote against the Merger or to give timely written notice of
dissent will constitute a waiver of appraisal rights.     

    The value of the shares of any dissenting BOL Shareholder will be
ascertained as of the Effective Date by an appraisal made by a committee of
three persons composed of (i) one selected by the vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of BOL Common Stock as to which appraisal rights have
been validly exercised; (ii) one selected by the directors of the Receiving
Bank; and (iii) one selected by the two appraisers so selected.  The valuation
agreed upon by any two of the three appraisers shall govern.  If the value so
fixed is not satisfactory to any such dissenting shareholder, he may, within
five days after being notified of the appraised value of such shares, appeal to
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Washington, D.C. 20219, who will
cause a reappraisal to be made which will be final and binding as the value of
the shares of the dissenting shareholder requesting appraisal.  If, more than 90
days from the Effective Date, for any reason, one or more of the appraisers is
not selected or the appraisers fail to determine the value of the shares, the
OCC will, upon written request of any interested party, cause an appraisal to be
made, which will be final and binding upon all parties. 

    In order to exercise appraisal rights, a dissenting BOL Shareholder must
not only vote against the Merger at the Special Meeting or give the notice
specified above, but must also make the written request to the Receiving Bank
within 30 days after the Effective Date and surrender share certificates to the
Receiving Bank at that time.  Any shareholder who votes against the Merger at
the Special Meeting or who gives the notice specified above, will be notified of
the Effective Date. 

    The expenses of the OCC in making any appraisal or reappraisal, if
necessary, will be paid by the Receiving Bank.  Dissenting shareholders and the
Receiving Bank will bear their own expenses in connection with all other aspects
of the appraisal process. 

    The appraised value of the shares as finally ascertained will be promptly
paid to dissenting BOL Shareholders by the Receiving Bank.  Shares of BOL Common
Stock owned by any person who properly demands and perfects such person's
appraisal rights will not be deemed to be converted into shares of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock, but the holder thereof will receive instead the
appraised value of the shares as of the Effective Date. 

    Reference is made to Appendix C hereto for the complete text of the
provisions of 12 U.S.C. (section mark)215a(b) through (d) relating to the
rights of dissenting BOL Shareholders.  The statements made herein are
qualified in their entirety by reference to Appendix C.  The provisions of 12
U.S.C.(section mark)215a(b) through (d) are technical in nature and complex. 
Any holder of BOL Common Stock who desires to dissent may wish to consult legal
counsel, particularly because the failure to comply

                                       18

<PAGE>

strictly with the provisions of 12 U.S.C. (section mark)215a(b) through (d) may
defeat a dissenting shareholder's rights. 

    Exercise of appraisal rights by BOL Shareholders will result in recognized
gain or loss, as the case may be, for federal income tax purposes.  See "The
Proposed Merger--Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."

   
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
    

    McGuire, Woods, Battle & Boothe, counsel to Jefferson Bankshares, has
advised Jefferson Bankshares that the following discussion accurately
summarizes the material federal income tax consequences of the Merger for a BOL
Shareholder.  This summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income
taxation that may be relevant to a BOL Shareholder, whether because of the
special investment circumstances of such Shareholder or the special treatment
provided for certain categories of investors (such as tax-exempt entities,
dealers in securities, and foreign persons).  This discussion applies only to
BOL Shareholders who have held their Shares as capital assets.  Furthermore,
this discussion does not discuss any aspect of state, local, or foreign tax
laws. 

    This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), the regulations and administrative rulings issued thereunder, and
judicial decisions currently in effect, all of which are subject to change at
any time by legislation, administrative action, or judicial decisions; any such
changes could be implemented retroactively. 

    EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE MERGER IN LIGHT OF SUCHSHAREHOLDER'S
PARTICULAR INVESTMENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE APPLICATION OF STATE, LOCAL, AND
FOREIGN TAX LAWS.  A ruling will not be sought from the Internal Revenue Service
(the "Service") with respect to any of the tax consequences of the Merger. 

   
    THE MERGER.  It is a condition to the Merger that Jefferson Bankshares
receive the opinion of McGuire, Woods, Battle & Boothe, dated as of the
Effective Date, that, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger will
constitute a reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(D) of the
Code, with the result that no taxable gain or loss will be recognized by BOL,
JNB or Jefferson Bankshares upon consummation of the Merger. The opinion may be
based on certain representations made by Jefferson Bankshares and BOL with
respect to factual matters required to qualify the Merger as a reorganization
under the Code. Such representations may include the following: 
    

   
    (a) The fair market value of the Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock received
by each BOL Shareholder  will be approximately equal to the fair market value of
the BOL stock exchanged therefor.
    

                                       19

<PAGE>

    (b) Immediately after the Merger, the shareholders of BOL will own Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock having a value, as of the date of the Merger, of at
least 50% of the aggregate value of the outstanding stock of BOL as of the date
of the Merger. 

   
    (c) Each officer and director of BOL has represented that he or she has no
current intention to dispose of any shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock
received in the Merger and is not aware of any plan or intention on the part of
any other BOL Shareholders to sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any shares
of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock received in the Merger.
    

    (d) JNB will acquire at least 90% of the fair market value of the net assets
and at least 70% of the fair market value of the gross assets held by BOL
immediately prior to the Merger. 

    (e) Neither Jefferson Bankshares, JNB, or BOL will make any redemption or
dividend distribution prior to or in connection with the Merger, except that
Jefferson Bankshares may make its regular quarterly cash dividend payment
consistent with its historical practice. 

    (f) Following the Merger, JNB will continue the historic business of BOL. 

    (g) Jefferson Bankshares, JNB, BOL, and the BOL Shareholders will pay their
respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the Merger, except that
liability for certain expenses of BOL that are solely and directly related to
the transaction may be assumed by JNB in the Merger. 

    (h) There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between BOL and JNB or
Jefferson Bankshares that was issued, acquired, or will be settled at, a
discount. 

    (i) No shares of JNB stock have been or will be issued to any BOL
Shareholder in connection with the Merger. 

    (j) None of the compensation received by any shareholder-employee of BOL
was separate consideration for, or allocable to, any of the shares of BOL Common
Stock; none of the shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock received by any
such shareholder-employee was separate consideration for, or allocable to, any
employment agreement; and the compensation to be paid to each such shareholder-
employee will be for services actually rendered and will be commensurate with
amounts paid to third parties bargaining at arm's length for similar services. 

    EXCHANGING SHAREHOLDERS.  As a result of the Merger qualifying as a
reorganization under the Code, the following federal income tax consequences
will ensue: 

    (a) No taxable gain or loss will be recognized by a BOL Shareholder on the
exchange of BOL Common Stock solely in exchange for Jefferson Bankshares Common
Stock; 

    (b) the initial tax basis of a share of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock
received in the Merger will be equal to the tax basis of the BOL Common Stock
exchanged therefor; and

                                       20

<PAGE>

    (c) the holding period of the Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock received in
the Merger will include the holding period of the BOL Common Stock exchanged
therefor, provided the BOL Common Stock was held as a capital asset on the date
of the Merger. 

    DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS.  A BOL Shareholder who dissents from the Merger
and receives solely cash for his entire interest in BOL Common Stock will be
treated as having had the BOL Common Stock redeemed in complete termination of
such interest within the meaning of Section 302(b)(3) of the Code, provided such
BOL Shareholder is not the constructive owner of any other shares of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock under the attribution rules of Section 318(a) of the
Code.  Under Section 302 of the Code, such deemed redemption generally will
result in the recognition of taxable gain or loss equal to the difference
between (i) the amount of cash received, and (ii) the BOL Shareholder's
adjusted tax basis in the BOL Common Stock exchanged therefore. Such gain 
or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of 
the BOL shareholder in the BOL Common Stock exceeds one year.  Under 
present law, a BOL Shareholder's ability to deduct any long-term capital 
loss is limited to the sum of the BOL Shareholder's net capital gain 
from other sources plus $3,000. 

    BACKUP WITHHOLDING.  Under the federal income tax backup withholding rules,
the Exchange Agent will withhold and remit to the IRS 31% of all cash 
payments made to a dissenting shareholder unless the shareholder provides 
his tax identification number and certifies that such number is correct or 
unless an exemption from backup withholding is applicable. 


CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER 

   
    In addition to requiring the approval of the shareholders of BOL to the
Merger and the approval of the OCC, the Merger Agreement requires the
satisfaction of a number of conditions before Jefferson Bankshares and BOL are
obligated to consummate the Merger, including: (a) the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement filed by Jefferson Bankshares for the shares of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock to be issued to the BOL Shareholders under the Merger
Agreement; (b) the receipt by Jefferson Bankshares of a commitment for title
insurance covering the real property owned by BOL; (c) the receipt by Jefferson
Bankshares of an opinion from KPMG Peat Marwick, its independent auditors, that
the Merger will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests; (d) the execution
and delivery of the Crovo Employment Agreement by Kenneth L. Crovo; (e) the
absence of any court or administrative agency order restraining or prohibiting
the consummation of the Merger; (f) the absence of any statute, rule or
regulation, whether proposed or enacted, which does or might prohibit,
restrict or delay the consummation of the Merger; (g) the accuracy of
representations and warranties made in the Merger Agreement; and (h) the
performance of obligations and the compliance with all conditions required by
the Merger Agreement.
    

    At any time on or prior to the Effective Date of the Merger, to the extent
legally permitted, the Boards of Directors of either Jefferson Bankshares or BOL
may waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions which are
contained in the Merger Agreement for the benefit of such company.


                                       21


<PAGE>

TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT 

    The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective
Date of the Merger, whether before or after obtaining shareholder approval: (a)
by the Boards of Directors or Executive Committees of both BOL and Jefferson
Bankshares; (b) by either Jefferson Bankshares or BOL (i) if there has been a
material breach by the other party of a representation, warranty or agreement
contained in the Merger Agreement or if any condition to the consummation of the
Merger which must be met by the other becomes impossible to fulfill, (ii) if any
action or proceeding before any court or other governmental body or agency has
been instituted or threatened to restrain or prohibit the Merger and such party
in good faith deems it inadvisable to proceed with the Merger,(iii) if the
holders of more than 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of BOL Common Stock
shall have failed to vote in favor of the Merger at the Special Meeting, or
(iv) if the Closing has not occurred by 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 1994. 

    The Merger Agreement may be amended by the mutual agreement of the Boards
of Directors of Jefferson Bankshares and BOL at any time prior to the approval
of the Merger Agreement and Merger by the BOL Shareholders.  After such approval
has been obtained, no amendment may be made to change the Merger Agreement in a
manner which is materially adverse to the BOL Shareholders unless such amendment
is approved by such shareholders. 

    The Merger Agreement also contains mutual covenants concerning the
obligations of each of the parties to use its best efforts to consummate the
Merger, the right of each party to review the other party's books and records,
and other customary matters. 


EXPENSES RELATED TO THE MERGER 

    Jefferson Bankshares and BOL each has agreed to pay its own expenses
incurred with regard to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby, except that, in the event that the Merger is not consummated as a
result of the failure of the BOL Shareholders to approve the Merger, Jefferson
Bankshares and BOL have agreed to share equally all expenses reasonably incurred
by either party in connection with the preparation, filing, printing or
distribution of the Registration Statement and this Proxy Statement-Prospectus. 


OPTION AGREEMENT 

    As a condition to Jefferson Bankshares' entering into the Merger Agreement
and in consideration therefor, BOL and Jefferson Bankshares entered into the
Option Agreement.  The Option Agreement is intended to increase the likelihood
that the Merger will be consummated by making it more difficult and more
expensive for another party to obtain control of or acquire BOL. The Option
entitles Jefferson Bankshares to purchase up to 100,000 fully paid and non-
assessable shares of BOL Common Stock, representing 19.9% of the shares of BOL
Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 1994 without giving effect
to any shares subject or issued pursuant to the Option, at a price of $14 per
share.  The aggregate purchase price for the shares of BOL Common Stock that may
be purchased upon the exercise of the Option is $1,400,000.00.

                                       22

    The Option Agreement provides that Jefferson Bankshares may exercise the
Option, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the date on which the Merger
Agreement is terminated (the "Termination Date") if Jefferson Bankshares is not,
at the time of exercise, in material breach of its obligations under the Merger
Agreement and if any of the following events has occurred: (a) the making, by
any person or group of persons other than Jefferson Bankshares or any of its
subsidiaries (an "Acquiror"), of a tender offer or exchange offer for a
sufficient number of Shares such that such Acquiror would, upon the completion
of such tender or exchange, beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding
shares of BOL Common Stock; (b) the acquisition, by any Acquiror, of beneficial
ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of BOL Common Stock; or (c)
the making, by any Acquiror, by public announcement or private communication to
BOL, of a firm proposal (i) to acquire BOL by merger, consolidation, purchase
of all or a substantial portion of the assets of BOL, or other similar
transaction, or (ii) to make a tender offer or exchange offer described in
clause (a) above.  As of the date hereof, none of these events ("Triggering
Events") has occurred. 

   
    At any time after Jefferson Bankshares acquires shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Option, Jefferson Bankshares may require BOL to repurchase such
shares for an amount equal to the price Jefferson Bankshares paid for such
shares, plus any interest earned by BOL on such funds (the "Repurchase Price"). 
In addition, if Jefferson Bankshares and BOL have not consummated the Merger by
the Termination Date (other than as a result of a material breach of the Merger
Agreement by BOL), then BOL may repurchase all of such shares at the Repurchase
Price.  If BOL exercises such right and, during the 12-month period following
such repurchase, any Acquiror acquires or agrees to acquire BOL by merger,
consolidation, or purchase of all or substantially all of BOL's assets, then BOL
(or its successor) will promptly notify Jefferson Bankshares and, upon the
successful completion of such a merger, consolidation or purchase of all or
substantially all of BOL's assets, will pay Jefferson Bankshares in cash an 
amount equal to the difference between the Repurchase Price and the average 
price per share such Acquiror has paid, multiplied by the number of shares 
repurchased under the Option Agreement. 
    

    The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective
Date by either BOL or Jefferson Bankshares if the Merger is not approved at the
Special Meeting.  Accordingly, if no Triggering Event has occurred, the holders
of at least 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of BOL Common Stock vote against
the Merger at the Special Meeting, and either BOL or Jefferson Bankshares
terminates the Merger Agreement as a result thereof, the Option will terminate.


    RESTRICTIONS ON SALE OF JEFFERSON BANKSHARES COMMON STOCK AFTER THE MERGER


    Jefferson Bankshares has registered under the Securities Act the shares of
Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock which the BOL Shareholders will be entitled to
receive upon consummation of the Merger.  Those BOL Shareholders who are not
deemed to be "affiliates" of BOL may freely sell, without additional
registration under the Securities Act or an exemption (including Rule 145
promulgated under the Securities Act) from the registration requirements
thereof, the shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock which they receive in
the Merger.  BOL Shareholders who are deemed to be "affiliates" of BOL may not
use this Proxy Statement-Prospectus to effect resales of the shares of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock they receive.

                                       23

<PAGE>

    BOL has determined that each of its directors and executive officers, and
their respective affiliates, are or may be "affiliates" of BOL under the
Securities Act.  Based upon information supplied by them, these persons will
receive approximately 142,834 shares (or approximately 27.2%) of the shares of
Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock to be delivered to the BOL Shareholders.  BOL
has agreed to deliver to Jefferson Bankshares, at or prior to the Effective
Date, an agreement signed by each of such "affiliates" covering various rights
and obligations of such persons with respect to the shares of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock they will receive.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT 

    Consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon the Merger being accounted
for as a pooling-of-interests and the receipt by Jefferson Bankshares of an
opinion to that effect from KPMG Peat Marwick, Jefferson Bankshares' independent
auditors.  Under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting, the recorded
amounts of the assets and liabilities of Jefferson Bankshares and BOL will be
carried forward at their previously recorded amounts.  Revenues and expenses
will be retroactively presented as if Jefferson Bankshares and BOL were combined
for the entire fiscal period in which the Merger occurs and for all periods
prior to the Merger at previously recorded amounts.

    Under Virginia law, the holders of BOL Common Stock and the holders of
Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock have the same rights.  Holders of BOL Common
Stock would generally not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger,
consolidation or plan of exchange but would have appraisal rights in connection
with a sale of all or substantially all of BOL's assets.  Holders of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock would generally have appraisal rights in the case of a
merger, plan of exchange or sale of all or substantially all of Jefferson
Bankshares' assets only if the consideration to be received were other than (a)
cash, (b) shares or shares and cash in lieu of fractional shares of (i) the
surviving or acquiring corporation or (ii) another corporation which are listed
on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than two thousand
shareholders or (c) a combination of the above. 

    Appraisal rights which the holders of BOL Common Stock have in connection
with the Merger arise under federal banking law since BOL is being merged into
JNB. 


                       INFORMATION ABOUT BOL 

BUSINESS 

    BOL was organized in 1986 and commenced operations in 1988 as a bank under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and operates in the town of Leesburg in
Loudoun County, Virginia. BOL's deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund
(the "BIF"), as administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  BOL
is a full-service commercial bank serving primarily Loudoun County, which is
located in Northern Virginia.  Retail banking services offered to individuals
and businesses in its service area include deposit accounts, business loans,
personal loans, residential mortgages, education loans, safe deposit and night
depository services.  Twenty-four hour banking services are provided by BOL
through an automated teller machine (ATM) located at its office in Leesburg,
Virginia. 

    BOL leases one office building, which is occupied as banking offices and is
located in a major retail business district of Leesburg, Virginia. 

    BOL does not obtain any material portion of its deposits from a single
individual, one particular business, or from state or federal governments.  The
loans of BOL are not concentrated within a single industry, group of related
industries or any individual customer.  BOL is not subject to any discernible
seasonable trends.  Further, BOL has no foreign banking activities. 

    There is substantial competition within the service area in which BOL
maintains offices.  In addition to competing with other commercial banks from
both within and outside its service area, BOL competes with other financial
institutions such as savings and loan associations, credit unions, money market
funds, brokerage firms and finance companies.  Deregulation of the banking
industry, the increased competition from non-bank entities for the cash balances
of individuals and businesses and continued developments in the computer and
communications industries have caused significant changes in BOL as well as
other banks.

New products that been introduced by BOL in recent years include ATM and

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF BOL

    The following discussion is intended to assist the reader in understanding
and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of BOL.  This
review should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes.  The analysis attempts to identify trends and material
changes which occurred during the periods presented. 


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 1993, 
December 31, 1992, and December 31, 1991 

    OVERVIEW TO RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  In 1993, BOL incurred a net loss of
$232,606 as compared to net income of $104,449 in 1992 and $52,060 in 1991.

   
    The net loss in 1993 resulted primarily from an increase in the provision
for loan loss from $594,744 in 1992 to $1,160,500 in 1993.  The additional
provision for loan losses was made as a result of management's review of BOL's
loan portfolio and applying the loan loss provision calculation
methodology utilized by JNB (see Provision for Loan Losses).
    


                                       33

<PAGE>
   
On a per share basis, the net loss in 1993 was $.46 compared with net income of
$.21 per share for the same period of 1992 and $.10 per share for the same
period of 1991. Excluding the special charge to the loan loss provision and
certain merger-related expenses totaling $100,000, BOL would have reported net
income of $272,000 or $.54 per share. 
    

   
    Deposits as of December 31, 1993, were $50,736,588 and represented an
increase of $9,300,497 or 22% above the same period in 1992. Loans, net of loan
loss provision, were $34,744,093 at December 31, 1993, and represented an
increase of $4,406,404 or 14% above the same period in 1992. 
    

    Total assets increased during 1993 by approximately $9,639,686 or 20.45%. 

    The net income of BOL is affected by three major factors: Net interest
income or the difference between interest income earned and interest expense
incurred; other operating income which is made up primarily of service
charges, fees and securities transactions; and other operating expenses
consisting of the salaries and other expenses incurred by BOL in day-today
operations. 

   
    NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income is the primary source of earnings
for BOL.  With the additions to the special addition to the loan loss provision
(see Provision for Loan Losses), net interest income after loan loss provision
increased slightly to $1,094,931 in 1993 from $1,017,537 in 1992 and represented
an increase of 7.60%.  Net interest income before loan loss provision increased
to $2,255,431 in 1993 from $1,612,281 in 1992, and represented an increase of
39.89%. 
    

    OTHER INCOME. Other operating income for 1993 included income from service
charges and fees related to deposit accounts, bank card fees, insurance premiums
on credit life and health policies, and gains on the sale of SBA loans.  Total
non-interest income totaled $432,623 in 1993 and was slightly less than the
$489,839 amount received in 1992.  The difference is primarily attributable to a
reduction in amount received from gains on the sale of loans.  In 1993,
approximately $111,199 less was received on gains from the sale of loans.  In
1993, service charges on other fees income amounted to $295,661 or $53,983 above
the same period in 1992.  The increase in service charges and other fee income
increased as a result of higher transaction levels and revised fee schedules. 

    OTHER EXPENSES. Salaries and employee benefits are the most significant
component of the other expenses for BOL. Other components of this category are
similar to those incurred by other service industries and include taxes,
supplies, data processing, furniture and equipment depreciation expenses and net
occupancy expenses.  

    The overall increase in other operating expenses was 28.50% in 1993 and
13.15% in 1992. Salaries and employee benefits increased 30.66% in 1993 and
15.30% in 1992.  This primarily resulted from the increased costs of additional



                                      34

<PAGE>

employees and other employee benefits. Occupancy expense declined 11.15% in
1993, due to subleasing surplus office space. Other categories of other
operating expenses increased, except depreciation expense, which declined 3.41%
in 1993. 

   
    PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.  In conjunction with the merger, the Board of
Directors of BOL elected to adopt a methodology for computing BOL's allowance
for possible loan losses which is consistent with that of JNB.  Under this
methodology, certain specific allocations and factors led BOL to increase its
allowance for possible loan losses by $670,000.  This amount which was charged
to BOL's provision for possible loan losses, along with an additional charge of
$100,000 for certain merger-related expenses, caused BOL to record a net loss
after taxes in 1993 of $232,606, or $.46 per share.  Excluding these charges,
BOL would have reported net income of $272,000, or $.54 per share. 
    

Three Months Ended March 31, 
    1994 and March 31, 1993 

    OVERVIEW TO RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  Results for the three months ended
March 31, 1994, were favorably impacted by an increase of approximately $65,000
in the net interest spread and margin. Interest and fees on loans and
investments increased $68,698 while interest expense on deposits remained
relatively unchanged.  Net interest income after provision for loan losses
improved as a result of a $25,000 less provision expense in 1994 as compared to
1993. 

    Loans, net of loan loss provision, as of March 31, 1994, were $35,027,135
and were slightly above the year end amount of $34,744,093.  Total earning
assets as a percentage of total assets remain stable at 94.7%. 

    Deposits of $51,068,942 at March 31, 1994, were approximately $330,000
above deposits at December 31, 1993.  Deposit growth continues to reflect the
characteristics of the Loudoun market served by BOL. 

    OTHER INCOME.  Non-interest income of $100,177 as of March 31, 1994,
compared favorably to $82,369 for the same period in 1993.  The improvement
resulted from an increase in service fee collections in all categories, plus a
new category of fee income for mortgage loan originations. 

    OTHER EXPENSES.  Salaries and employee benefits continue to be the most
significant component of non-interest expense.  For the three months ended March
31, 1994, salaries and employee benefit expense of $220,245 represented an
increase of $26,610 or 13.7% above the comparable period in 1993.  The increase
is attributable to expenses related to additional staff required to meet desired
customer service levels.  Occupancy expense was virtually unchanged for the
three months ended March 31, 1993 and March 31, 1994.  Other non-interest
expense increased from $187,041 as of March 31, 1993 to $222,759, an increase of
$35,718 or 19.1% as of March 31, 1994.  The increase in other expenses occurred
primarily in FDIC assessment changes ($7,000), overdraft charge refunds
($9,500), data processing ($3,500), and legal fees ($13,500).

    PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.  As of March 31, 1994, BOL contributed $40,000
to the loan loss provision compared to $65,000 for the same period in 1993. 
The lower amount contributed reflected management's assessment of comparative
loan quality.  During the first three months of 1994, the bank charged off
loans in the aggregate amount of $10,036 and recovered $1,361 on loans
previously charged off. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

    A strong capital base provides support for growth and expansion activities
gives stability in current operations and adds greatly to the community's
confidence in BOL.  One widely accepted measure of capital adequacy
is the ratio of average shareholder's equity to average total assets.  This
ratio for BOL was 9.15% for 1993 and 8.67% for the first three months of 1994,
and compares favorably with those of peer group banks. 

    The liquidity of BOL is measured by its ability to meet the financial needs
of its depositors and borrowers.  Sources of liquidity are provided by the sale
or maturity of assets or by acquiring additional deposits or other borrowings. 
BOL's asset liquidity consists of cash and funds due from banks and
money market investments, which totaled $20,149,328 as of March 31, 1994. 

IMPACT OF INFLATION 

    Since most of the assets and liabilities of BOL are monetary in nature,
changes in interest rates can have a significant effect on earnings.  BOL's
management concentrates on asset and liability management, in order to react to
and compensate for the volatility of interest rates in a changing economy.

                             INDEMNIFICATION 


    Article VII of Jefferson Bankshares' Articles of Incorporation and Article
10 (Section 13.1-696, et seq.) of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act authorize
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of Jefferson
Bankshares in certain circumstances; allow advances of the costs of defending
against litigation; and permit the purchase of insurance on behalf of directors,
officers, employees and agents against liabilities whether or not in the
circumstances Jefferson Bankshares would have the power to indemnify against
such liabilities under the provisions of the articles or the statute.  Jefferson
Bankshares maintains a policy of directors and officers liability insurance
which provides for the indemnification of directors and officers under certain
circumstances.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

                             SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

    If the Merger is approved and a BOL Shareholder becomes a shareholder of

Shareholders and wishes to have it included in Jefferson Bankshares' proxy
statement under applicable proxy rules, the proposal must be received by
Jefferson Bankshares at its principal executive offices before November 18,
1994.

                                 OTHER MATTERS

    BOL knows of no matter other than the Merger to be brought to a vote at the
Special Meeting, but, if any such matter is properly presented, the persons
named in the proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment.

<PAGE>

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bank of Loudoun

    We have audited the accompanying statements of condition of Bank of Loudoun
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Bank's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. 

    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial condition of the Bank of Loudoun as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 


    Bank of Loudoun (the Bank) was incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia to engage in the general banking business in Loudoun
County, Virginia.  The Bank commenced operations as a commercial bank on April
19, 1988. 

    The accounting policies of Bank of Loudoun conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and general practices within the banking industry. Those
policies which materially affect the determination of financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows are presented below. 


1.INVESTMENT SECURITIES 

    Investment securities are primarily composed of short-term debentures
issued by various Federal agencies.  As of December 31, 1993, these investments
are carried at the historical cost plus discount accretion. 

    As of January 1, 1994, the Bank will adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities," which will require investments in securities to be
classified in one of three categories: held to maturity, trading, and available
for sale.  Debt securities which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity will be classified as held to maturity, and will be reported at
amortized cost.  The balance of its debt securities and any equity securities
will be classified as either available for sale or held to maturity.  Net
unrealized gains and losses for such securities available for sale will be
required to be recognized as a separate component of stockholders' equity and
excluded from the determination of net income.  The Bank has determined that
approximately $1 million of the Investment Securities existing at December 31,
993, will be categorized as available for sale as of the adoption of SFAS 115. 
Due to the nature of the market for debt and equity securities, the Bank cannot
predict the ultimate impact of SFAS 115 on the 1994 financial condition and
results of operations of the Bank. 

    2.  LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES 

    Loans are stated at their principal amount outstanding.  The allowance for
possible loan losses is established through a provision charged to expense. 
Loans are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses when management
believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  The allowance is
an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on
existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the
collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience.  The evaluations take
into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of any specific problem loans, and
current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. 

    The FASB has also issues SFAS 114, "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan, which requires that a bank measure impairment based on the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate, except that as a practical expedient, a bank may measure impairment based
on a loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral-dependent.  Regardless of the measurement method, a bank must
measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the bank
determines that foreclosure is probable.  SFAS 114, when adopted, is not
expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.  The Bank will
be required to adopt this new standard for its year ended December 31, 1995.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

3.  INTEREST INCOME ON LOANS 

    Interest is calculated using the simple interest method on daily balances
of principal outstanding.  The accrual of interest is discounted when management
believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection
efforts, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of
interest is doubtful. 

4. LOAN ORIGINATION AND COMMITMENT FEES 

    Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination
costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the
related loan's yield.  The Bank is generally amortizing these amounts over the
contractual life of the related loans. 

5. BANK PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 

    Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization.  Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided for over
the useful lives of the respective assets.  Amortization of leasehold
improvements is provided for over the shorter of the lives of the respective
leases or the lives of the assets.  Provisions for depreciation and amortization
included in the accompanying statement of operations are computed on the
straight-line basis, while accelerated methods are used for tax purposes. 

6. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE 

    Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year (501,596, 501,571
and 501,242 shares, respectively, for 1993, 1992 and 1991.) All per share
amounts have been adjusted to give effect to the two for one stock split
discussed in Note I. 

7. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW 

    For purposes of reporting cash flow, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks, Federal funds sold and other short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

8. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED 

    The Bank's other real estate owned (which was acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure) is carried at the lower of cost or fair market value at the date of
acquisition and carried at the lower of acquisition value or net realizable
value subsequent to the date of acquisition.  Costs relating to the improvement
of the property are capitalized; holding costs are charged to expense as
incurred.

NOTE F OFFICE LEASE 


    The Bank has a ten-year lease agreement for approximately 9,600 square
feet of retail banking space.  The agreement was made in the ordinary course of
business with a related party lessor.  The terms of the lease agreement are
substantially the same as those prevailing at that time for comparable
transactions with independent third parties. The lease provides for an initial
rental of $115,896 which will be escalated annually by 4%.  Rent expense is
being recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the lease.  The Bank
has sublet a portion of this space to tenants under several lease agreements. 

    The minimum payments under the Bank's lease agreement including annual
escalations are:

    Certain directors, officers and stockholders of the Bank, including their
immediate families and companies in which they have significant ownership, were
either loan customers or depositors of the Bank during 1993 and 1992. Related
party loans and deposits are made in the ordinary course of business and on
substantially the same credit terms including interest rate and
collateralization, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions
with unrelated third parties, and did not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility.  Total loans to stockholders of more than one percent of bank
stock and other related parties as defined above at December 31, 1993 and 1992
amounted to approximately $2,030,000 and $1,267,000.

NOTE I STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 

    On March 9, 1992, the Bank affected a two for one stock split.  All
presentation of outstanding shares and per share amounts reflect the split. 

    The Board of Directors and shareholders approved a stock option plan for
the benefit of the Bank's organizers on May 23, 1988.  An aggregate of 50,000
shares of common stock of the Bank are subject to the Plan from authorized but
unissued shares.  The price at which shares may be purchased is $10.00 per
share.  On May 23, 1993 the Bank's stockholders approved an amendment to the
plan which extended the option period for certain organizing directors until May
22, 1998.  As of December 31, 1993, 42,000 options have been granted, of which
4,000 have expired, 896 have been exercised, and 37,104 remain outstanding at
December 31, 1993. 

NOTE J INCOME TAXES 

    Effective January 1, 1992, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Statement allows the Bank
to recognize deferred tax benefits resulting from temporary differences between
items of income or expense reported in the financial statements, and those
reported for income tax purposes. These differences relate principally to the
use of the cash basis method of accounting for income tax purposes, depreciation
of property and equipment, and provision for possible loan losses.  The
components of the deferred tax benefit under FASB 109 at December 31, 1993 and
1992 are:

NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER DATA 

    Reference should be made to the notes to financial statements included in
the Annual Report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1993, which
contain the Bank's accounting policies and other data. 

NOTE B - INVESTMENT SECURITIES 

    As of January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," which requires investments to be classified in one of three
categories: held to maturity, trading, or available for sale.  Debt securities
which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost.  The remaining
securities are classified as available for sale.  Unrealized gains and losses on
these securities, net of tax effects, are recognized as a separate component of
stockholders' equity and excluded from determination of net income.  Adoptation
of SFAS No. 115 at January 1, 1994 reduced stockholders' equity by $1,949, net
of tax impact. 

    The amortized cost and estimated market values of investments in debt
securites available for sale at March 31, 1994 are as follows:

    The amortized cost and estimated market value of debt securities available
for sale at March 31, 1994 by maturity are shown below.  Expected maturities
will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have right to
prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

                          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

    THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the "Agreement") is made as of April 4,
1994, among BANK OF LOUDOUN, a Virginia corporation ("BOL"), JEFFERSON NATIONAL
BANK, a national banking association organized under the laws of the United
States ("Jefferson National Bank"), and JEFFERSON BANKSHARES, INC., a Virginia
corporation ("Jefferson Bankshares") (Jefferson National Bank and Jefferson
Bankshares are collectively referred to as "Jefferson"). 

    The Boards of Directors of BOL, Jefferson National Bank and Jefferson
Bankshares deem a merger of BOL into Jefferson National Bank (the "Merger"),
pursuant to which each shareholder of BOL will receive, on the terms set forth
herein, one share of the Common Stock, $2.50 par value per share, of Jefferson
Bankshares ("Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock") in exchange for each share of
the Common Stock, $5.00 par value per share, of BOL ("BOL Common Stock") held by
such shareholder, advisable and in the best interests of their respective
shareholders and have authorized the Merger pursuant to the authority given by
and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the laws and regulations
thereunder of the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations,
warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:



SECTION 1 - TERMS AND PLAN OF MERGER 

    1.1 THE MERGER.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, on the Effective
Date (as defined below), BOL will merge with and into and under the charter of
Jefferson National Bank (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Receiving
Bank").  From and after the Effective Date, the name of the Receiving Bank will
remain Jefferson National Bank and the Articles of Association and Bylaws of the
Receiving Bank in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date will continue
to be its Articles of Association and Bylaws, until amended or repealed in a
manner provided by law.  The business of the Receiving Bank will remain that of
a national banking association and will be conducted at its main office at 123
East Main Street in Charlottesville, Virginia, and at its various authorized
branch offices, including the sole office of BOL. 

    1.2 STATUS OF RECEIVING BANK; PROPERTY RIGHTS AND INTERESTS VESTED AND HELD
AS FIDUCIARY.  At the Effective Date, the corporate existence of BOL shall be
merged into and continued in the Receiving Bank and the Receiving Bank shall be
deemed to be the same corporation as each bank or banking association
participating in the Merger.  All rights, franchises, and interests of BOL in
and to every type of property (real, personal, and mixed) and choses in action
shall be transferred to and vested in the Receiving Bank by virtue of the Merger
without any deed or other transfer.  The Receiving Bank, upon the Merger and
without any order or other action on the part of any court or otherwise, shall
hold and enjoy all rights of property, franchises, and interests, including
appointments, designations, and nominations, and all other rights and interests
as trustee, executor, administrator, registrar of stocks and bonds, guardian of
estates, assignee, receiver and committee of estates of lunatics, and in every
other fiduciary capacity, in the same manner and to the same extent as such
rights, franchises and interests were held or enjoyed by BOL at the time of the
Merger, subject to the right of any court of competent jurisdiction, in
accordance with applicable law, to remove the Receiving Bank and to appoint in
lieu thereof a substitute trustee, executor or other fiduciary.

                                      A-1

<PAGE>

    1.3 LIABILITIES OF MERGING BANK.  From and after the Effective Date, the
Receiving Bank shall be responsible for all liabilities, debts, obligations and
contracts of BOL, matured or unmatured, accrued, absolute, contingent or
otherwise, whether or not reflected or reserved against on the balance sheets,
books of account or records of BOL, none of which shall be released or impaired
by virtue of the Merger. 


    1.4 CAPITAL OF THE RECEIVING BANK.  At the Effective Date, the amount of
capital of the Receiving Bank will consist of capital stock equal to $20,000,000
divided into 8,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share; a
surplus equal to $44,339,850; and undivided profits, including capital reserves,
equal to $118,834,640 adjusted, however, for normal income and expenses of BOL
and the Receiving Bank between January 1, 1994 and the Effective Date, the
merger of BOL with and into Receiving Bank, and for any dividends, cash
payments, and other transactions not in contravention of this Agreement. 

    1.5 DIRECTORS OF THE RECEIVING BANK.  The directors of Jefferson National
Bank immediately prior to the Effective Date will be the directors of the
Receiving Bank from and after the Effective Date and will serve until their
successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. 

    1.6 APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS AND REGULATORY AUTHORITIES.  The affirmative
vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Jefferson National
Bank's common stock and more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of BOL's
Common Stock is required to approve this Agreement.  Jefferson Bankshares, in
its capacity as the sole shareholder of Jefferson National Bank as well as in
its capacity as a party to this Agreement, has approved this Agreement.  This
Agreement will be submitted for ratification and approval to the shareholders of
BOL at a meeting called and held in accordance with Section 7.2 and applicable
provisions of the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States.
The parties hereto will proceed expeditiously and will cooperate fully in making
application for all necessary regulatory approvals, in the procurement of any
other consents and approvals and in the taking of any other actions and the
satisfaction of all other requirements prescribed by law or otherwise necessary
for the consummation of the Merger on the terms herein provided. 

    1.7 THE CLOSING.  Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Sections 8 and 9 and of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger will take
place at the offices of Jefferson Bankshares in Charlottesville, Virginia, or at
such other place as may be designated by Jefferson Bankshares, on the date (the
"Effective Date") so designated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(the "OCC") in a certificate issued by the OCC approving the Merger. 

SECTION 2 - CONVERSION OF SHARES 

2.1 CONVERSION OF SECURITIES. 

    (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2, each share of BOL Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, other than
shares, if any, as to which the holders have asserted and not effectively
withdrawn or otherwise lost their dissenters' rights as provided in 12 U.S.C.
(section mark)215a(b) ("Dissenting Shareholders") shall, as a result of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled
and converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Jefferson Bankshares
Common Stock. Each certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Date,
represented a share or shares of BOL Common Stock shall, at and after the
Effective Date, be deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive
the number of shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock specified herein.

                                      A-2

<PAGE>

    (b) Each share of the Common Stock of Jefferson National Bank issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall continue to be issued
and outstanding shares of the Receiving Bank. 

    2.2 NO FRACTIONAL SHARES.  No fractional shares of Jefferson Bankshares
Common Stock, and no certificates or scrip representing such fractional shares,
shall be issued upon the surrender of any BOL Common Stock certificate for
exchange.  In lieu of any such fractional share, the Exchange Agent (as defined
in Section 2.3(a)) will pay to each holder of a BOL Common Stock certificate who
otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock an amount of cash (without interest thereon) determined
by multiplying (i) the mean of the high and low sale prices of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock on the Effective Date, or, if such stock is not traded
on such date, on the nearest preceding trade date upon which such stock was
traded, as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL by (ii) the fractional share
interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. 


2.3 EXCHANGE OF SHARES. 

    (a) Jefferson National Bank, acting through its trust department, will
serve as agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the shareholders of BOL.  Immediately
prior to the Effective Date, Jefferson Bankshares will cause to be delivered to
the Exchange Agent certificates representing the number of shares of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock which the holders of shares of BOL Common Stock are
entitled to receive as a result of the Merger and from time to time Jefferson
Bankshares shall, at the request of the Exchange Agent, promptly make available
to the Exchange Agent sufficient cash to make the cash payments in respect of
fractional shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock required by Section 2.2. 

    (b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent
will mail to each shareholder of record of BOL immediately prior to the
Effective Date a letter of transmittal which shall contain instructions for
surrendering BOL Common Stock certificates for certificates representing shares
of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock.  The letter of transmittal shall specify
that title to any certificate being submitted for exchange shall pass only upon
delivery of such certificate to, and receipt of such certificate by, the
Exchange Agent.  Upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of any such certificate,
together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, such certificate shall be
canceled and the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the former holder of such
certificate (or his transferee, as provided in Section 2.4): (i) a certificate
representing the number of shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock to which
the former holder of BOL Common Stock is entitled; and (ii) cash in lieu of the
former holder's fractional share interest, if any, of Jefferson Bankshares
Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2. 

    (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, if any
holder of BOL Common Stock shall be unable to surrender his certificate for
shares of BOL Common Stock because such certificate has been lost or destroyed,
such holder may deliver in lieu thereof an indemnity bond in form and substance
and with surety satisfactory to Jefferson Bankshares. 

2.4 TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATES. 

    (a) If any certificate representing a share or shares of Jefferson
Bankshares Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which BOL
Common Stock certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it
shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that BOL Common Stock certificate
surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for
transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall (i) pay to the
Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of
a certificate representing shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock in any
name other than that of the registered holder of BOL Common Stock certificate
surrendered or

                                      A-3

<PAGE>

    (ii) establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has
been paid or that no such tax is payable. 

    (b) After the Effective Date there shall be no transfers on the stock
transfer books of BOL of the shares of BOL Common Stock which were issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date. 

    2.5 DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS.  Shares of BOL Common Stock held by a
Dissenting Shareholder shall not be converted into the right to receive shares
of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock (and cash for fractional shares) unless and
until such Dissenting Shareholder shall have effectively withdrawn or otherwise
lost the right to dissent and receive payment of the value of his shares under
12 U.S.C. (section mark)215a(b), at which time such shares shall be converted
into a right to receive shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock (and cash
for any fractional shares). 

    2.6 POST MERGER DIVIDENDS ON JEFFERSON BANKSHARES COMMON STOCK; UNDELIVERED
BOL COMMON STOCK CERTIFICATES.  No dividends or other distributions declared
after the Effective Date with respect to Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock, and
payable to the holders of record thereof after the Effective Date, shall be paid
to the holder of any unsurrendered BOL Common Stock certificate until the holder
of record shall have surrendered such certificate for exchange.  Subject to the
effect, if any, of applicable law upon the surrender of a BOL Common Stock
certificate for exchange, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive such
dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, as he would have
been entitled to receive had he surrendered such certificate for exchange
immediately after the Effective Date.  All dividends or other distributions
declared after the Effective Date with respect to Jefferson Bankshares Common
Stock, and payable to the holders of record thereof after the Effective Date,
which are payable to holders of BOL Common Stock certificates not theretofore

    (a) All dividends or other distributions held by the Exchange Agent for
payment to the holders of unsurrendered BOL Common Stock certificates and
unclaimed at the end of one year from the Effective Date shall be delivered to
Jefferson Bankshares by the Exchange Agent, after which time any holders of BOL
Common Stock certificates who have not theretofore surrendered such certificates
for exchange shall, subject to applicable law, look only to Jefferson
Bankshares, as a general creditor, for payment of such dividends or
distributions, without interest thereon. 

    (b) Any certificates for shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock or
cash delivered or made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to subparagraph
(a) of this Section 2.7 and not exchanged for shares of BOL Common Stock within
one year after the Effective Date shall be returned to Jefferson Bankshares by
the Exchange Agent, and Jefferson Bankshares shall thereafter act as exchange
agent.  Any whole shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock representing an
aggregate of fractional shares thereof in respect of which cash payments have
been made to the former shareholders of BOL shall be delivered to Jefferson
Bankshares by the Exchange Agent. 

    2.8 ANTI-DILUTION.  If, after the date hereof and prior to the Effective
Date, Jefferson Bankshares declares or pays any stock dividend to the holders of
record of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock prior to the Effective Date, or
otherwise splits, combines or reclassifies its shares of Jefferson Bankshares
Common Stock, then the number of shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock
payable to the holders of BOL Common Stock shall be appropriately adjusted to
give effect to such stock dividend, stock split, combination or
reclassification.

<PAGE>

contracts, books and records.  In addition, each shall furnish the other with
such financial, operating and additional data as the other may reasonably
request concerning its business, operations, properties and personnel and those

auditors to the extent that BOL and Jefferson Bankshares, as the case might be,
have access thereto. 

6.5 CONFIDENTIALITY; HIRING OF EMPLOYEES. 

    (a) Pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, BOL has supplied and will
supply Jefferson with certain documents and information for use in investigating
the business of BOL and Jefferson has supplied and will supply BOL with certain
documents and information for use in investigating the business of Jefferson. 
Such material is hereinafter referred to as "Evaluation Material." Each of BOL
and Jefferson agrees to hold in confidence any Evaluation Material it has
received or will receive and not to disclose all or any part of such material to
anyone except its officers, directors, employees or other representatives who
need such information to perform their respective duties in connection with the
Merger.  If this Agreement is terminated, each of BOL and Jefferson will return
to the other, or cause to be destroyed and will not retain, or permit any person
to whom it has given copies thereof to retain, the originals or any copies of
any documents constituting a part of the Evaluation Material furnished to it or
any notes or memoranda prepared using such Evaluation Material.  After

agreements contained herein and neither will use or disclose, directly or
indirectly, any information obtained from the Evaluation Material.  The
confidentiality agreements contained in this Section 6.5 will terminate upon the
earlier of three years after the date hereof or upon consummation of the

Jefferson may use and disclose any such information to the extent that (i) it
had acquired such information on a non-confidential basis prior to receipt
thereof from the other, (ii) such information has become generally available to
the public, (iii) such information is provided to the party disclosing the same
by a third party who has obtained such information other than as a result of a
breach of this Agreement, or (iv) such information is independently developed by
it based upon non-confidential information. Furthermore, either BOL or Jefferson
may disclose such information to the extent that it is required to do so in
order to comply with a governmental or judicial order or decree, but upon
receiving notice that any such order or decree is being sought, it will promptly
notify the other and will, at the other's expense, cooperate with the other's
efforts, if any, to contest the issuance of such order or decree.  It is
understood that each of BOL and Jefferson will be deemed to have satisfied its
obligation to hold information confidential, pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.5 if it exercises the same care with regard to such information as it
takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information. 

    (b) If this Agreement is terminated, neither BOL nor Jefferson will,
without the prior consent of the other, hire any of each others employees for a
period of two years following termination. 

    6.6 EFFORTS TO CONSUMMATE.  Subject to the terms and conditions herein
provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its best efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper or advisable to consummate, as promptly as practicable, the
transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the obtaining
of all necessary consents, waivers, authorizations, orders and approvals of
third parties, whether private or governmental, required of it by this
Agreement.  Each party agrees to cooperate fully with each of the other parties
in assisting them to comply with the provisions of this Section, and in the
event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding by any
governmental body or other person is commenced which questions the validity or
legality of the Merger or seeks damages in connection therewith, the parties
                                      A-18

<PAGE>

agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against such claim,
action, suit, investigation or other proceeding.  If an injunction or other
order is issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding, the parties agree
to use their best efforts to have such injunction or other order lifted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto shall be required to make any
substantial payment or incur any material economic burden, other than a payment
otherwise required of it, to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization, order or
approval, or for the defense of proceedings against the Merger, or the removal
of impediments to the Merger, and if, despite its efforts, any party is unable
to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization, order or approval, or dismissal
or removal of impediments to the Merger within a reasonable time, the other
parties may terminate this Agreement and shall have no liability therefor,
except as is provided in Section 10.2. 

    6.7 BOL STOCK OPTIONS.  Upon fulfillment or waiver of the conditions
precedent to the consummation of the Merger which are set forth in Sections 8
and 9, but prior to the Effective Date, BOL will use its best efforts to cause
the holders of outstanding stock options or stock awards, as the case might be,
to (i) exercise such options or awards at the applicable exercise price or (ii)
execute agreements canceling and surrendering, at no cost to Jefferson
Bankshares or Jefferson National, their options or awards on the Effective Date
and will deliver to Jefferson Bankshares copies of all such agreements.  Any
outstanding stock options that have not been exercised or canceled as of the
Effective Date will be converted to options to acquire an equivalent number of
shares of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock. The provisions of Section 2.8 will
apply to the BOL stock options. 

    6.8 BOL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS.  Upon fulfillment or waiver of the conditions
precedent to the consummation of the Merger which are set forth in Sections 8

BOL, Jefferson National or Jefferson Bankshares, on the Effective Date, and BOL
will deliver to Jefferson Bankshares copies of all documents evidencing the
termination.  On the Effective Date, Jefferson National Bank and Kenneth L.
Crovo will enter into an employment agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A. 

    6.9 EXPENSES.  Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated
hereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses, except that, in the
event that the Merger is not consummated as a result of BOL's shareholders
failure to approve the Merger, Jefferson Bankshares and BOL will share equally
all expenses reasonably incurred by either party in connection with the
preparation, filing, printing or distribution of the Registration Statement and
the Proxy Statement and the preparation and submission of any application for a
tax ruling. 

    6.10 ANNOUNCEMENTS.  The parties will consult with each other before
issuing any press releases or otherwise making any public statements with
respect to this Agreement and the Merger and will not issue any such press
release or make any such public statement without the consent of the other
unless such action is required by law. 

    6.11 CHANGE OF SUBSIDIARY.  In the event that Jefferson Bankshares
determines that it is desirable to merge BOL into a direct bank subsidiary of
Jefferson Bankshares other than Jefferson National Bank (including, but not
limited to, a bank subsidiary formed solely for such purpose), then BOL will
consent to such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or desirable to
effect a substitution of such other subsidiary for Jefferson National Bank and
to conform this Agreement to the requirements of law applicable to such a
merger, provided that no such amendment to this Agreement shall adversely affect
the economic benefit to the shareholders of BOL resulting from the Merger.

                          OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR

   
                                     June 14, 1994
    

Board of Directors
Bank of Loudoun
30 Catoctin Circle
Leesburg, VA 22075

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    You have asked us to render our opinion relating to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, to the shareholders of Bank of Loudoun ("BOL") of the
terms of the conversion ratio (the "Conversion Ratio") of shares of the Common
Stock of BOL ("BOL Common Stock") into shares of the Common Stock of Jefferson
Bankshares, Inc. ("Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock") as provided in the
Agreement and Plan of Merger among Jefferson Bankshares, Inc. ("Jefferson
Bankshares"), Jefferson National Bank ("JNB"), and BOL dated as of April 4, 1994
(the "Merger Agreement").  The Merger Agreement provides that each share of BOL
Common Stock which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) may be converted into and exchanged
for one share of Jefferson Bankshares Common Stock. 

    In developing our opinion, we have, among other things, reviewed and
analyzed: (1) the Merger Agreement; (2) the Form S-4 Registration Statement to
be filed with the Commission in connection with the Merger; (3) BOL's financial
statements for the three years ended December 31, 1993, as audited and examined
by BOL's independent certified public accounting firm; (4) BOL's unaudited
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 and
other internal information relating to BOL prepared by BOL's management; (5)
information regarding the trading market for the common stocks of BOL and
Jefferson Bankshares and the price ranges within which the respective stocks
have traded; (6) the relationship of prices paid to relevant financial data such
as net worth, loans, deposits and earnings in certain bank and bank holding
company mergers and acquisitions in Virginia in recent years; and (7) Jefferson
Bankshares' annual reports to shareholders and audited financial statements for
the three years ended December 31, 1993, Jefferson Bankshares' unaudited
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1994, and other
unaudited, internal information relating to Jefferson Bankshares.  We have
discussed with members of management of BOL and Jefferson Bankshares the
background to the Merger, the reasons and basis for the Merger and the business
and future prospects of BOL and Jefferson Bankshares individually and as a
combined entity.  Finally, we have conducted such other studies, analyses and
investigations, particularly of the banking industry, and considered such other
information as we deemed appropriate.

    In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon
and assumed accuracy and completeness of the information furnished to it by or
on behalf of BOL and Bankshares.  We have not attempted independently to verify
such information, nor have we made any independent appraisal of the assets of
BOL or Jefferson Bankshares.  We have taken into account assessment of general
economic, financial market and industry conditions as they exist and can
evaluated at the date hereof, well as our experience in business valuation in
general. 

    On the basis of our analysis and review and in reliance on the accuracy and
completeness of the information furnished to us and subject to the conditions
noted above, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the terms of the
Conversion Ratio are fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of BOL
Common Stock.
                                             Very truly yours,

                                             MCKINNON & COMPANY, INC.

                                  APPENDIX C

                       RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
                          12 U.S.C. (Section mark) 215a

                            DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
    (b) If a merger shall be voted for at the called meetings by the necessary
majorities of the of each association or State bank participating in the plan
of merger, and thereafter the shall be approved by the Comptroller, any
shareholder of any association or State bank to be merged into the receiving
association who has voted against such merger at the meeting of the association
or bank of which he is a stockholder, or has given notice in writing at or prior
to such meeting to the presiding officer that he dissents from the plan of
merger, shall be entitled to receive the value of the shares so held by him
when such merger shall be approved by the Comptroller upon written request made
to the receiving association at any time before thirty days after the date of
consummation of the merger, by the surrender of his stock certificates.

                              VALUATION OF SHARES

    (c) The value of the shares of any dissenting shareholder shall be
ascertained, as of the effective date of the merger, by an appraisal made by a
committee of three persons, composed of (1) one selected by the vote of the
holders of the majority of the stock, the owners of which are entitled to
payment in cash; (2) one selected by the directors of the receiving association;
and (3) one selected by the two so selected.  The valuation agreed upon by any
two of the three appraisers shall govern.  If the value so fixed shall not be
satisfactory to any dissenting shareholder who has requested payment, that
shareholder may, within five days after being notified of the appraised value of
his shares, appeal to the Comptroller, who shall cause a reappraisal to be made
which shall be final and binding as to the value of the shares of the appellant.

              APPLICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS OF MERGING ASSOCIATIONS;
                APPRAISAL BY COMPTROLLER; EXPENSES OF RECEIVING
            ASSOCIATION; SALE AND RESALE OF SHARES; STATE APPRAISAL
                                 AND MERGER LAW

    (d) If, within ninety  days from the date  of consummation of the  merger,
for any reason  one or more of the appraisers is not selected as herein
provided, or the appraisers fail to determine the value of such shares, the
Comptroller shall upon written request of any interested party cause an
appraisal to be made  which  shall  be  final  and  binding  on  all  parties. 
 The  expenses  of  the  Comptroller  in  making  the reappraisal or the
appraisal, as the case may be, shall be paid by the receiving association.  
The value of the shares ascertained shall be promptly paid to the dissenting
shareholders by the receiving association. The  shares  of  stock  of  the 
receiving  association  which  would  have  been  delivered  to  such 
dissenting shareholders had they not requested payment shall be sold by the
receiving association at an advertised public auction, and the receiving
association shall have the right to purchase any of such shares at such public
auction, if it is the highest bidder therefor, for the purpose of reselling
such shares within thirty days thereafter to such person or persons and at such
price not less than par as its board of directors by resolution may determine. 
 If the shares are sold at public auction at a price greater than the amount
paid to the dissenting shareholders, the excess in such sale price shall be
paid to such dissenting shareholders. The appraisal of such shares of stock in
any State bank shall be determined in the manner prescribed by the law of the
State in such cases, rather than as provided in this section, if such
provision is made in the State law;   and no such merger shall be in
contravention of the law of the State under which such bank is incorporated.  
The provisions of this subsection shall apply only to shareholders of (and
stock owned by them in) a bank or association being merged into the receiving
association.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS


ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

  See information contained in the Prospectus under the heading
"Indemnification." 

ITEM 21.  EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

      See Exhibit Index.

    No financial statement schedules are required to be filed.


ITEM 22.  UNDERTAKINGS

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the Prospectus, to each person to whom the Prospectus is sent or
given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the Prospectus, to deliver, or
cause to be delivered to each person to whom the Prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the Prospectus to provide interim financial information. 

   
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
    

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means.  This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the
date of responding to the request. 

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-
effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company
being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the
registration statement when it became effective.
