                             PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

     Jefferson  Bankshares  is a  bank  holding  company  registered  under  the
provisions of the Bank Holding  Company Act of 1956,  as amended.  Jefferson was
incorporated  under the laws of Virginia on March 22, 1979, and became an active
bank  holding  company on December  31, 1979,  through the  consolidation  of NB
Corporation and Southern Bankshares.

     The Corporation  owns or controls one subsidiary bank,  Jefferson  National
Bank, Charlottesville, Virginia, and four nonbank subsidiaries.

     Within the last five years Jefferson Bankshares acquired the Peoples Bank
of Front Royal with two offices and approximately $60 million in total assets;
acquired the People's Bank of Virginia  Beach with one office and approximately
$14  million in assets,  and  acquired  the Bank of Loudoun  with one office and
approximately $53 million in total assets; and Jefferson National Bank purchased
the deposit  liabilities  of  approximately  $24 million and banking  offices of
Liberty Federal Savings Bank from the Resolution Trust Corporation. In addition,
Jefferson Data Services,  Inc., which furnished computer  services to the bank,
was  merged  into  Jefferson  Bankshares,   and the  computer  operations  were
transferred to Jefferson National Bank.

         In June,  1995,  Jefferson  National Bank completed its  acquisition of
deposits  associated with the Waynesboro office of First Union National Bank and
the downtown  Richmond office of Virginia First Savings Bank.  Approximately $35
million in deposits  accounts  were  transferred  to Jefferson  National Bank in
these two transactions.

     Jefferson Bankshares regularly seeks reasonable opportunities to expand its
asset base and trade area and related business endeavors.

     The  Corporation   provides  advisory  and  technical   assistance  to  its
subsidiaries  in  the  areas  of  services,   operations,  audit,  planning  and
budgeting,  and corporate  activities and administration.  Funds are provided to
Jefferson  Bankshares by dividends and management fees from its subsidiaries and
short-term and long-term borrowings from nonaffiliates.

     Jefferson  Bankshares,  Inc. is  regulated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal  Reserve System and is subject to the  requirements  of the Bank Holding
Company  Act  of  1956,  as  amended,  and  Virginia  laws  regarding  financial
institution   holding   companies   administered  by  the  Bureau  of  Financial
Institutions of the State Corporation Commission of Virginia. Jefferson National
Bank is subject to supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The bank is affected by various federal and Virginia laws and regulations of the
Comptroller  of the  Currency,  the Board of  Governors  of the Federal  Reserve
System,  and the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation.  The various laws and
regulations  administered by the regulatory agencies affect corporate practices,
expansion of business,  and  provisions of services.  Also,  monetary and fiscal
policies of the United States  directly  affect bank loans and deposits and thus
may affect Jefferson Bankshares'  earnings.  The future impact of these policies
and of the  continuing  regulatory  changes in the financial  services  industry
cannot be predicted.

     On December 31, 1995,  Jefferson  Bankshares  and its  affiliates had 1,108
full-time  and  125  part-time  employees.  Management  believes  that  employee
relations are good.

     As of September  30, 1995,  Jefferson  Bankshares  had 2.9 percent of total
bank  deposits  in  Virginia.   Six  other  bank  holding   companies  had  bank
subsidiaries in Virginia with more deposits than Jefferson Bankshares.

     The  Corporation's  bank provides  retail and commercial  banking and trust
services and has 97 locations in Virginia from the City of Virginia Beach in the
East to Augusta County in the West and Frederick County in the North.  Jefferson
National  Bank pays  competitive  rates on deposits  and other  interest-bearing
liabilities, constantly reviews current and potential services, and periodically
provides staff training and sales programs. Throughout its trade areas, the bank
competes  with other  financial  institutions,  including  larger  bank  holding
companies, money market mutual funds, and other companies which extend credit.

     Jefferson  Properties,  Inc., which owns properties used or held for future
use, primarily by Jefferson National Bank, derived 91 percent of its income from
Jefferson  Bankshares and its subsidiaries in 1995. Charter Insurance  Managers,
Inc.  and Grace  Insurance  Agency,  Incorporated,  a  subsidiary  of  Jefferson
National Bank, are currently inactive.  Jefferson Financial, Inc. offers limited
financial and investment advisory services.

     Also incorporated herein by reference is the information on pages 10 and 12
of the 1995 Annual Report to  Shareholders  (the "1995 Annual  Report")as to the
distribution of the Corporation's  assets,  liabilities and shareholders' equity

                        EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT


	AGREEMENT between Jefferson Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation
("Jefferson"), and William M. Watson, Jr. (the "Executive"),


                             WITNESSETH:

	WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Jefferson (the "Board") believes 
that, in the event of a threat or occurrence of a bid to acquire or change 
control of Jefferson or to effect a business combination, it is in the best
interest of Jefferson and its present and future shareholders that the 
business of Jefferson be continued with a minimum of disruption, and that 
such objective will be achieved if key management employees of Jefferson 
and its subsidiaries are given assurances of employment security so they 
will not be distracted by personal uncertainties and risks created during 
such period; and

	WHEREAS, Jefferson believes the giving of such assurances by 
Jefferson will (a) secure the continued services of both its key 
operational and management executives in the performance of both their
regular duties and such extra duties as may be required of them during 
such period of uncertainty, (b) be able to rely on such executives to 
manage the affairs of Jefferson and its subsidiaries during any such 
period with less concern for their personal risks, and (c) have the 
ability to attract new key executives as needed; and

	WHEREAS, the Executive Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of 
the Board has recommended, and the Board has approved, entering into 
severance agreements with key management executives of Jefferson and its 
subsidiaries in order to achieve the foregoing objectives; and 
	WHEREAS, Executive is a key management executive of Jefferson or 
one of its subsidiaries;

     NOW, THEREFORE, Jefferson and Executive agree as follows:

     1.  Change of Control.  When used in this Agreement, the term "Change of 
Control" means:

         (a)  The acquisition, other than from Jefferson, by any 
     individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) 
     or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, of 
     beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
     under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of 20% or more of either 
     the then outstanding shares of common stock of Jefferson or the 
     combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of 
     Jefferson entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, 
     but excluding for this purpose, any such acquisition by Jefferson or 
     any of its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related 
     trust) of Jefferson or its subsidiaries, or any corporation with 
     respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of, 
     respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such 
     corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding 
     voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in 
     the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or 
     indirectly, by the individuals and entities who were the 
     beneficial owners, respectively, of the common stock and voting 
     securities of Jefferson immediately prior to such acquisition in 
     substantially the same proportion as their ownership, immediately 
     prior to such acquisition, of the then outstanding shares of common 
     stock of Jefferson or the combined voting power of the then 
     outstanding voting securities of Jefferson entitled to vote generally 
     in the election of directors, as the case may be; or

         (b)  Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
     Board (as of the date hereof of "Incumbent Board") cease for any 
     reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that 
     any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof 
     whose election or nomination for election by Jefferson's shareholders
     was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then 
     comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such 
     individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for 
     this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office 
     is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest 
     relating to the election of the Directors of Jefferson (as such 
     terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under 
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); or

         (c)  Approval by the shareholders of Jefferson of a 
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, with respect 
     to which the individuals and entities who were the respective 
     beneficial owners of the common stock and voting securities of 
     Jefferson immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or 
     consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger or 
     consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 
     50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock 
     and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
     securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, 
     as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such 
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, or a complete liquidation 
     or dissolution of Jefferson or of its sale or other disposition of 
     all or substantially all of the assets of Jefferson.

     2.  Employment.  Jefferson and Executive hereby agree that, if 
Executive is in the employ of Jefferson on the date on which a Change
of Control occurs (the "Change of Control Date") Jefferson will 
continue to employ Executive and Executive will remain in the employ 
of Jefferson, for the period commencing on the Change of Control 
Date and ending on the second anniversary of such date (the 
"Employment Period"), to exercise such authority and perform such 
executive duties as are commensurate with the authority being 
exercised and duties being performed by the Executive immediately 
prior to the Change of Control Date, which services shall be performed
at the location where the Executive was employed immediately prior 
to the Change of Control Date.  Employment by a subsidiary of 
Jefferson shall be considered employment by Jefferson.

     3.  Compensation and Benefits.  During the Employment Period, 
     Jefferson (or the subsidiary employing Executive, as the case may
be) will (a) continue to pay the Executive a salary and compensation 
related benefits at not less than the level applicable to Executive 
on the Change of Control Date, (b) continue bonus plans in effect on 
the Change of Control Date and continue to pay the Executive bonuses 
in amounts not less than those paid during the 12-month period 
preceding the Change of Control Date, and (c) continue employee 
benefit programs as to Executive at levels in effect on the Change 
of Control Date (but subject to such reductions as may be required to 
maintain such plans in compliance with applicable federal law and 
regulations applicable to employee benefit programs).

     4.  Termination of Employment.
         (a)  If during the Employment Period (i) Executive's 
     employment is terminated by Jefferson (or a subsidiary of Jefferson), 
    (ii) there is a material reduction in Executive's compensation or 
     benefits, or a material change in Executive's status, working 
     conditions or management responsibilities, or (iii) Executive is 
     required to change his place of employment, and Executive 
     voluntarily terminates his or her employment within 60 days of any 
     such event, or the last in a series of events, then Executive shall 
     be entitled to receive, subject to the provisions of (c) and (d) 
     below, a lump sum payment equal to 299% of Executive's "base amount"
     as determined under (b) below.  Payment shall be subject to and net 
     of all applicable federal and state withholding taxes and shall be 
     paid to the Executive within 30 business days after his termination 
     of employment.  If Executive terminates his employment prior to the 
     Change of Control Date or during the Employment Period, and the 
     events described in (i), (ii) or (iii) have not occurred, his rights 
     under this Agreement shall terminate.

         (b)  The Executive's "base amount" for purposes of this paragraph
     shall be his base salary.  If Executive has not been employed for a 
     12-month period, his "base amount" shall be his annualized base 
     salary at the rate then in effect.  Bonuses (including the value of 
     vested awards under Jefferson Incentive Stock Plan) paid or taxable 
     to Executive during the 12-month period preceding his termination 
     of employment pursuant to paragraph (a), shall be included in the 
     Executive's "base amount" to the extent the Board has specifically 
     authorized such inclusion.  As of the date of the execution of this 
     Agreement, the Board has not authorized the inclusion of bonuses 
     in Executive's "base amount."

         (c)  The amount payable to Executive under (a) shall be reduced 
     to the extent necessary so that the amounts payable to Executive
     under this Agreement, when added to (i) any amounts he becomes 
     entitled to receive under any other compensation arrangement 
     maintained by Jefferson (or a subsidiary) which become payable upon 
     or as a result of the exercise by Executive of rights which are 
     contingent on a Change of Control, and (ii) the value of rights that 
     arise or are accelerated as a result of a Change of Control event 
     described in paragraph (a) (such as, for example, the accelerated 
     right to exercise stock options, stock appreciation rights, or 
     redeem stock units), but only to the extent the value of such 
     payments or rights described in (i) and (ii) would be considered a 
     "parachute payment" under Internal Revenue Code 280G and
     regulations thereunder, do not equal or exceed 300% or the then
     permissible percentage of the Executive's "base amount" (as computed
     in accordance with Internal Revenue Code provisions and regulations),
     whichever is less, for determining whether Executive has received an 
     excess parachute payment.

        (d)  If at the time the events as occur described in (a)(i), (ii) 
     or (iii) entitling Executive to the payment provided for in paragraph
     (a) there also exists an employment agreement or other compensatory 
     arrangement between Executive and Jefferson (or a subsidiary of 
     Jefferson) pursuant to which Executive becomes entitled to receive,
     as a result of a Change of Control, a payment (or series of 
     payments), the payment provided for in (a) shall be reduced (but 
     not below zero) by the payment (or present discontinued value of a 
     series of payments) under such employment agreement or other 
     compensatory arrangement.

         (e)  In determining the present discounted value of a series of 
     payments to be taken into account under this Section 4, the interest 
     rate shall be equal to 120% of the applicable federal rate determined 
     under Internal Revenue Code 1274(d), compounded semi-annually, on
     the date this Agreement was executed.  The applicable federal
     short-term, mid-term and long-term rates on the date this Agreement
      was executed were 4.39%, 5.93% and 6.91%, respectively.

         (f)  If Executive becomes entitled to a payment under this 
     Agreement, Jefferson shall compute the proper amount.  In applying 
     the limitations of Internal Revenue Code 280G, and regulations and
     rulings thereunder, Jefferson shall apply the applicable provision
     in good faith using the interpretation that is most likely to avoid
     the imposition of the excise tax on Executive and ensure the 
     deductibility of payments by Jefferson.

     5.  Indemnification.  If litigation shall be brought to enforce or 
interpret any provision of this Agreement, or if Executive shall have 
to institute litigation brought in good faith to enforce any of his 
rights under the Agreement, Jefferson shall indemnify Executive for 
his reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements incurred in any 
such litigation.

     6.  Confidentiality.  Executive recognizes that he has or will have 
access to and may participate in the origination of non-public 
confidential information and will owe a fiduciary duty with respect to 
such information to Jefferson.  Confidential information includes, but is 
not limited to, trade secrets, supplier information, pricing information, 
internal corporate planning, Jefferson secrets, methods of marketing, 
methods of branch selection and operation, ideas and plans for development,
historical financial data and forecasts, long range plans and strategies, 
and any other data or information of or concerning Jefferson that is not 
generally known to the public or in the industry in which Jefferson is 
engaged.  Executive agrees that from the date of this Agreement and 
throughout the Employment Period he will, except as specifically 
authorized by Jefferson in writing, maintain in strict confidence and 
will not use or disclose, other than disclosure made in the ordinary 
course of business or to other employees of Jefferson, any confidential
information belonging to Jefferson.  If Executive shall breach the terms 
of Section 6, all of his rights under this Agreement shall terminate.

     7.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed according to 
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

     8.  Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended except by the 
written agreement of the parties hereto.

     9.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding on Jefferson, 
its successors, and assigns.  Should there be a consolidation or merger of 
Jefferson with or into another corporation, or a purchase of all or 
substantially all of the assets of Jefferson by another entity, the 
surviving or acquiring corporation will succeed to the rights and 
obligations of Jefferson under this Agreement.

     10.  Entire Contract.  This Agreement constitutes the entire 
agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, 
both written and oral, express or implied with respect to the subject 
matter of this Agreement.

     11.  Term.  This Agreement shall be effective from the date of its
execution by Jefferson and for twenty-four (24) months thereafter, and 
shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless Jefferson 
shall notify Executive in writing 30 days in advance of an anniversary of 
its execution that the Agreement shall terminate.

	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement 
dated as of the 20th day of October, 1993.

                              JEFFERSON BANKSHARES, INC.

                          WILLIAM M. WATSON, JR.

            [As Amended and Restated Effecitve October 29, 1993]


     This EXECUTIVE SPLIT DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENT is made this 
day of October 29, 1993, between JEFFERSON BANKSHARES, INC., a Virginia 
corporation (the "Company") and WILLIAM M. WATSON, JR., an executive 
employed by the Company or one of its subsidiary corporations (the 
"Executive"), and supersedes any prior Executive Split Dollar Life 
Insurance Agreement between the Company and Executive.

     A.  The Company has adopted a Split Dollar Life Insurance Plan (the 
"Plan") to provide certain executive employees with additional life 
insurance protection under split dollar life insurance policies.

     B.  The Company has selected Executive to receive additional life 
insurance protection under the Plan and Executive has elected to receive 
such protection.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and 
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the 
parties agree as follows:

     1.  Definitions.  Where indicated by initial capital letters, the 
following terms shall have the following meanings:

         (a)  Agreement:  The Executive Split Dollar Life Insurance 
     Agreement (including Schedules and attachments) entered into between the 
     Company and Executive pursuant to the Plan.

         (b)  Beneficiary:  The person or persons designated in writing 
     by Executive to receive the Executive Death Benefit.

         (c)  Cause:  Cause means, but is not limited to, a determination

     conduct (regardless of whether proven or admitted), gross negligence 
     or willful misconduct in the performance of Executive's duties or 
     otherwise, or has engaged in conduct which, if generally known, 
     would bring discredit to or give rise to adverse publicity to the 
     Company.

        (d)  Company Cost:  The total premiums paid to the Insurer with 
     respect to the Policy (including premiums paid on any antecedent

     received from Executive for the Policy and less the amount of any 
     outstanding Policy loan.

        (e)  Disability:  The Executive's inability to perform the 
     duties of his job because of accident or illness, as determined by 
     the Company.  Executive will be deemed disabled, if, by reason of 
     accident or illness, Executive becomes entitled to benefits under 
     the Company's long-term disability program.  In the event of 
     Disability this Agreement shall remain in effect as though Executive 
     continued in active employment by the Company until Executive becomes 
     entitled to receive retirement benefits under the Company's Pension
     Plan.

        (f)  Executive Death Benefit:  The level of life insurance to

     paid up additional insurance) issued on the life of Executive 
     pursuant to the Plan.  The Policy number, face amount, and 
     Executive Death Benefit are listed on Exhibit A.

        (k)  Retirement:  Termination of employment (except for Cause) 
     at or after attainment of age 65 or, with the consent of the Company, 
     age 55 and completion of 15 years of service with the Company or a 
     subsidiary of the Company.

     anniversary on which:

         cash surrender value equal to the Company Cost, and

            (ii)  The Executive can receive a policy with a death benefit 
         equal to the Executive Death Benefit, with no outlays required 
         to sustain the Executive Death Benefit based upon the then 
         current dividend schedule, and with no policy loans.

         (n)  Termination Date:  The date determined by reference to 
     Section 11(b).

         (o)  Withholding Taxes:  The amount of state and federal income 
     taxes required by law to be withheld by the Company from Executive 
     with respect to bonuses paid or imputed to Executive to cover 
     Executive's Premiums.

     2.  Application for Insurance.  The Company and Executive will apply
to the Insurer for a Policy or one or more Policies with initial coverage 
at least equal to the amount of insurance to which the Executive is 
entitled under the Plan.  The Company and executive agree to take any 
action necessary to cause the Insurer to issue the Policy (including 
paid-up additional insurance on the Policy).  Executive authorizes the 
Company to execute for Executive as his attorney-in-fact such documents 
as may be necessary to comply with this paragraph.  The rights of the 
Company and Executive under the Policy shall be subject to the terms of 
this Agreement.

     3.  Amount of Insurance.  Executive shall have coverage specified as 
the Executive Death Benefit in the Plan.  If Executive is not then 
insurable at standard rates, the additional premium shall be paid by the 
Company.

     4.  Ownership.  The Company and Executive shall jointly own the 
Policy, and they shall jointly exercise all ownership rights granted to 
the owner by the terms of the Policy except as otherwise provided in this 
Agreement.  The Company shall keep possession of the Policy, but the 
Policy shall be available to Executive during normal business hours for 
such purposes as are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

     5.  Dividend Option.  All dividends declared by the Insurer on the 
Policy shall be applied to purchase additional paid up life insurance on 
the life of Executive until such option is changed by mutual agreement of 
the Company and Executive.

     6.  Payment of Premiums.

         (a)  The Company agrees to remit the total amount of each annual 
Policy premium on or before the due date of such premium, or within 
the grace period provided, if any.

         (b)  At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of each 
annual Policy premium, the Company shall notify the Executive of the 
amount of Executive's Premium to be paid by Executive to the Company 
as a premium payment.

         (c)  The Company will pay not less often than annually the 
amounts due under paragraph (b) as a bonus to the Executive, and 
Executive will promptly upon demand reimburse the Company for all 
Withholding Taxes due with respect to such bonus.

     7.  Death Benefits.

         (a)  Upon Executive's death, the Company and Executive's 
personal representative will promptly take the appropriate action to 
obtain the death benefits provided under the Policy, and 

             (i)  the Company shall be entitled to receive the excess of 
         the total Policy proceeds over the Executive Death Benefit.  The 
         receipt by the Company of the excess over the Executive Death 
         Benefit shall constitute satisfaction of Executive's obligation 
         to the Company under this Agreement; and 

            (ii)  the Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the 
         Executive Death Benefit, which shall be paid in accordance with 
         the terms of the designation and settlement option elected by 
         Executive.

         (b)  If at the time the Executive Death Benefit becomes payable 
because of Executive's death, there is no effective Beneficiary designation, 
the Executive Death Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the 
Policy.

     8.  Policy Loans.

         (a)  Executive agrees that the Company, without the further 
consent of Executive, has the right to (i) obtain loans secured by 
the Policy from the Insurer or from others, and (ii) assign the 
Policy as security for the repayment of such loans.  The amount of 
such loans together with interest thereon shall at no time exceed 
the Company Cost with respect to the Policy securing such loan.  The 
principal amount of the loan and all interest charges with respect 
to any Policy loan shall be the sole obligation of and shall be paid 
by the Company.  Executive authorizes the Company to execute for 
Executive as his attorney-in-fact such documents as may be necessary 
to comply with this paragraph.

         (b)  If the Policy is assigned or encumbered in any way, 
including a Policy loan, on the date of the Executive's death or the 
date of the separation of the Policy into two policies pursuant to 
Section 12, the Company shall secure a release or discharge of the 
assignment or encumbrance to ensure the prompt payment of death 
proceeds under the Policy to the Executive's beneficiary or 
beneficiaries or the separation of the Policy, as the case might be.

     9.  Retirement or Disability.

         (a)  If Executive becomes Disabled or his Retirement occurs 
before his Roll-Out Date, this Agreement and the Policy shall 
continue in effect until the occurrence of the Roll-Out Date.

         (b)  During the period between the date of Executive's 
Disability or Retirement and the Roll-Out Date, Executive shall 
continue to pay Executive's Premium to the Company and the Company 
shall continue to pay the balance of the premiums due on the Policy.

         (c)  The Company will pay not less often than annually the 
amounts due under paragraph (b) as a bonus to the Executive, and 
the Executive will upon demand reimburse the Company for all 
Executive's Withholding Taxes.

         (d)  The Company will advise Executive annually of the amount of 
Withholding Taxes due with respect to such bonus.  Within 60 days 
following the date of his Disability or Retirement (to the extent 
not already paid), and within 60 days following each succeeding 
annual premium due date, Executive shall pay to the Company the 
amount of the Executive's Withholding Taxes due the Company for the 
Policy year or balance of the Policy year.

         (e)  Executive may irrevocably elect to have the Company advance 
Executive's Withholding Taxes, in which case the Company shall be 
entitled to receive from Executive on the Roll-Out Date, and 
Executive agrees to pay Company, an amount equal to the Executive's 
Withholding Taxes advanced by the Company, plus simple interest at 
an annual rate of 6% on the Withholding Taxes, directly by cash 
payment, or as a deduction from the cash values of Executive's 
Policy.  The election permitted under this paragraph shall be made 
in a writing filed by Executive with the Company within 60 days 
after the date of Executive's Retirement or Disability, or as to 
succeeding Policy years, within 60 days after the Policy premium due 
date.

     10.  Termination of Employment.

         (a)  If Executive's termination of employment occurs before his 
Roll-Out Date for reasons other than death, Retirement, Disability 
or termination by the Company for Cause, this Agreement and 
Executive's entire interest in his share of the Policy shall 
terminate and be forfeited as of the date of his termination of 
employment unless Executive timely makes the election hereinafter
provided in subparagraph (b).  If Executive makes such election, 
Sections 12(a) and (b) shall apply.

         (b)  This Agreement and the Policy will continue in effect until 
the Policy anniversary next following the date of his termination 
of employment if Executive elects in writing to continue the Policy 
in effect and pays to the Company within 30 days of his termination 
date in a lump sum the amount of Executive's Premium for the balance 
of the Policy year.

         (c)  If Executive makes the election as provided in subparagraph 
(b), the Company shall continue to pay the balance of the premiums 
due, if any, on the Policy with respect to the balance of the Policy 
year.

         (d)  If Executive's death occurs before the 30-day election 
period has expired and Executive has not made the election as 
provided in subparagraph (b), Executive will be deemed to have died 
while still an employee and his rights under this Agreement and the 
Policy will be governed by Section 7.

     11.  Amendment and Termination of Agreement.

         (a)  This Agreement may not be amended, altered, or modified 
except in writing and signed by the Company and the Executive.

         (b)  This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of 
any of the following events, each of which is a "Termination Date":

             (i)  the Roll-Out Date;

            (ii)  in the case of an Executive whose employment terminates 
     for reasons other than death, Disability, Retirement or termination 
     of employment for Cause, who has not made the election permitted 
     under Section 10(b), the date of his termination of employment 
     (unless Committee determines that Executive shall be treated as an 
     active employee after a termination of employment);

           (iii)  in the case of an Executive whose employment terminates 
     for reasons other than death, Disability, Retirement or termination 
     of employment for Cause, who has made the election permitted under 
     Section 10(b), the Policy anniversary next following the date of 
     Executive's termination of employment;

            (iv)  cessation of the Company's business or the bankruptcy, 
     receivership or dissolution of the Company, unless the Company's 
     business is continued by a successor corporation or business entity;

             (v)  termination of the Agreement as of a Policy anniversary 
     date by Executive during employment upon written notice to the 
     Company; or

            (vi)  termination of Executive's employment by the Company 
     for Cause.

     12.  Disposition of the Policy.

         (a)  If the Termination Date is the Roll-Out Date, Executive 
shall retain exclusive ownership of the portion of the Policy 
remaining after the interests of the Company and Executive in the 
Policy have been separated.  The Company shall have the unqualified 
right to receive from the cash surrender value of the Policy an 
amount in cash equal to the Company Cost or, alternatively, a policy 
from the Insurer that has a cash surrender value equal to the 
Company Cost, at the election of the Company.

         (b)  Except as provided in Sections 10(a) and 12(c), if the 
Termination Date is not the Roll-Out Date, Executive and the 
Company shall each retain exclusive ownership of the portion of the 
Policy remaining after the interests of the Company and Executive in 
the Policy have been separated in the following manner:

             (i)  Executive shall, subject to the other provisions of 
     this Section 12(b), retain an insurance policy with a death benefit 
     equal to the then Executive Death Benefit together with the 
     attendant cash surrender value; and

            (ii)  the Company shall have the unqualified right to receive 
     an insurance policy having a death benefit equal to the difference 
     between the Executive Death Benefit and the death benefit provided 
     by the Policy together with the remaining cash surrender value of 
     the Policy.

If on the Termination Date the cash surrender value of the insurance 
policy to be issued to the Company pursuant to (ii) is less than the 
Company Cost, Executive shall elect in writing to (x) pay the Company in 
cash an amount equal to the difference between the cash surrender value 
of the Company's insurance policy and the Company Cost; (y) accept an
insurance policy with a reduced death benefit that has a cash surrender 
value reduced and allocated to the Company to the extent of the difference 
described in (i); or (z) surrender to the Company his ownership rights to 
the Policy, but retaining the right to receive from the Company cash in 
an amount equal to any excess cash surrender value over the Company Cost.  
Executive's election shall be made and filed with, and any cash required by 
Executive's election paid to, the Company on or before the Termination Date.  
Executive authorizes the Company to execute for Executive as his attorney-in-
fact such documents as may be necessary to implement the provisions of 
this subparagraph.  If Executive fails to make an election by the 
Termination Date, Executive shall be deemed to have elected to surrender 
the Policy as provided in clause (z).  An example of the application of 
Section 12(b) is attached as Exhibit B.

         (c)  If Executive's employment is terminated for Cause (as 
determined by the Committee), Executive agrees that his rights under 
this Agreement and the Policy (and the rights of Executive's 
Beneficiary) shall terminate and be forfeited.  Executive further 
agrees to execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence 
Executive's waiver and transfer of Executive's rights in the Policy 
to the Company.  Executive authorizes the Company to execute the 
Executive as his attorney-in-fact such documents as may be necessary
to comply with this paragraph.

     13.  Termination of the Plan.  Notwithstanding anything contained in 
this Agreement to the contrary, a termination of the Plan will not 
adversely affect the rights of Executive under this Agreement and, 
unless otherwise agreed by Executive and the Company, this Agreement 
will continue as though the Plan were still in effect.

     14.  Company's Rights to Set-Off Under the Policy.  If, upon 
termination of employment, Executive is indebted to the Company or a 
subsidiary of the Company for any reason (other than for a personal or 
commercial loan from the Company or a subsidiary of the Company), the 
Company shall have the right to recover such indebtedness from the cash 
value of the Policy in addition to any other amounts to which the Company 
may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

     15.  Miscellaneous.

          (a)  This Agreement shall not affect any rights the Executive 
may otherwise have under the pension, profit sharing or other 
employee benefit plan (except group term life insurance) established 
by the Company.

          (b)  This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the 
benefit of both the Company, its successors and assigns, and the 
Executive, his Beneficiary, assigns and his personal representative.  
The Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of 
the Commonwealth of Virginia.

          (c)  Except as permitted by law or pursuant to Section 15(f) or 
by the Company's written consent, any benefits to which the 
Executive or Executive's Beneficiary may become entitled under this 
Agreement shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, 
transfer, assignment, or pledge.  The Company shall not be liable 
for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of 
any person entitled benefit under this Agreement.

         (d)  This Agreement shall not confer upon the Executive any 
legal or equitable right against the Company except as expressly 
provided in this Agreement, the Plan and the Policy.

        (e)  Neither this Agreement, the Plan nor the Policy shall 
constitute an inducement or consideration for the employment of the 
Executive and shall not give the Executive any right to be retained
in the employ of the Company.  The Company hereby retains the right 
to discharge the Executive at any time, with or without Cause.

         (f)  The Executive's interest under this Agreement, the Plan and 
the Policy, may be assigned by the Executive upon written notice to 
the Company.

         (g)  If a provision of this Agreement is not valid or 
enforceable, that fact in no way affects the validity or 
enforceability of any other provision.

         (h)  Whenever any words are used in this Agreement in the 
masculine gender, they shall be construed as though they were also 
used in the feminine gender in all cases where they would so apply, 
and wherever any words are used herein in the singular form they 
shall be construed as though they were also used in the plural form 
in all cases where they would so apply.  Headings used in this 
Agreement are inserted for convenience or reference, are not part of 
this Agreement and are not to be considered in the construction of 
this Agreement.

         (i)  All notices provided for or permitted to be given under any
of the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be 
deemed to have been duly given or served and delivered personally or 
by overnight courier, telecopied or deposited in the U.S. Mail by

prepaid and addressed as follows:

                                                               Exhibit A




                Specification of Certain Terms of the Policy


William M. Watson, Jr.


Policy Number:                        7558862

Face Amount:                         $270,000

Executive Death Benefit:             $184,000



                                                   Exhibit B
                                                   Page 1



          Example of the Application of Section 12(b)


	Section 12(b) provides that in the event the Policy is separated
on a date other than the Roll-Out Date, Executive and the Company will 
each receive a policy that contains a portion of the death benefits and 
cash values in the Policy.  Because separation of the Policy is 
occurring before the Roll-Out Date, Executive and the Company cannot 
each receive the benefits that they would receive if the separation were 
to occur at the Roll-Out Date.  Section 12(b) provides a mechanism for 
determining the amounts that Executive and the Company will receive.  
Examples of the application of Section 12(b) are set forth below:

1.	Assume (i) that Executive is a male, age 45 with no ratings; (ii) 
the Policy was issued in 1989; (iii) that the policy year is from 
November 1 through October 31; (iv) that the face amount of the 
Policy at the date of issue was $115,000; (v) that the Executive 
Death Benefit is $100,000; (vi) that Executive voluntarily leaves 
employment with the Company on January 1, 1994 (i.e., during 
policy year 5) and makes the necessary election and payments
required by Section 10 to continue the Policy until October 31,
1994 (i.e., the end of the then current policy year); (vii) that
the dividend rate for the Policy has remained unchanged from the 
date of issuance; and (viii) that on October 31, 1994, the Company
Cost is $11,303, the total death benefit of the Policy is $122,357 
(of which $115,000 is the face amount of the original Policy and
$7,357 is the amount of paid-up additions), the cash surrender 
value of the Policy is $6,789 (of which $4,636 is allocated to the 
original Policy and $2,153 of which is allocated to the paid-up 
additions).

Based on the foregoing facts, the Policy would be divided into a 
policy for the Executive and the Company as of October 31, 1994.  
Pursuant to Section 12(b)(i), Executive will receive a policy with 
a death benefit of $100,000 together with attendant cash values of 
approximately $4,031 (i.e., the amount of the guaranteed cash 
surrender value that a whole life policy in the amount of $100,000 
would have at the end of the fifth policy year).  Pursuant to 
Section 12(b)(ii), the Company will receive a policy with a death 
benefit of $22,357 (i.e., the difference between the Executive 
Death Benefit ($100,000) and the total death benefit of the Policy 
on October 31, 1994 ($122,357)) and with guaranteed cash surrender 
values in the amount of $2,758 (i.e., the difference between the 
total cash value of the Policy on October  31, 1994 and the amount 
of cash allocated to Executive).

The amount of cash in the Company's policy is $8,545 less than the 
Company Cost (i.e., $11,303-$2,758).  Pursuant to Section 12(b),
Executive is required, on or before the Termination Date to (i) 
pay this difference to the Company, (ii) accept an insurance 
                                                         Exhibit B
                                                         Page 2


policy with a reduced death benefit and shift the reduction in the 
death benefit and attendant cash values to the Company, or (iii) 
surrender Executive's policy to the Company and receive from the 
Company cash in the amount equal to the excess, if any, of any 
cash surrender value over the Company Cost.

If Executive elects to pay the difference to the Company, 
Executive may pay this difference in a number of ways including, 
for example, Executive's own cash or a loan against the policy.  
If Executive does not make the necessary election and, if 
Executive has elected to pay cash to the Company, make the 
necessary payment on or before the Termination Date, Executive 
will be deemed to have elected to surrender Executive's policy to 
the Company and receive cash in excess of the Company Cost.

If Executive elects to pay the difference to the Company from
Executive's own cash, Executive and the Company will have received 
the following:



                        Death         Cash
                       Benefit        Value          Cash

Executive       $100,000       $4,031        ($8,545)

Company         $ 22,357       $2,758         $8,545

Following the separation, Executive would have to continue to make 
the required premium payments on the policy retained by Executive.

If Executive elects to accept a policy with a reduced death 
benefit and shift the reduction in the death benefit and attendant 
cash values to the Company or elects (or is deemed to have 
elected) to surrender Executive's policy to the Company and 
receive from the Company cash in an amount equal to the excess, if 
any, of the cash surrender value over the Company Cost, Executive 
and the Company will have received the following:

                        Death         Cash
                       Benefit        Value          Cash

     Executive        $      0       $    0            $0

     Company          $122,357       $6,789            $0


2.	Assume the same facts in the first example except (i) that the 
Executive voluntarily leaves employment with the Company on 
January 1, 1998 (i.e., during policy year 9) and makes the 
necessary election and payments required by Section 10 to continue



                                                               Exhibit B
                                                               Page 3

the Policy until October 31, 1998 (i.e., the end of the then 
current policy year); and (ii) that  on October 31, 1998, the 
Company Cost is $19,124, the total death benefit of the Policy is
$140,200 (of which $115,000 is the face amount of the original 
Policy and $25,200 is the amount of paid-up additions), the cash 
surrender value of the Policy is $22,042 (of which $13,458 is 
allocated to the original Policy and $8,584 of which is allocated 
to the paid-up additions).

Based on the foregoing facts, the Policy would be divided into a 
policy for the Executive and the Company as of October 31, 1998.  
Pursuant to Section 12(b)(i), Executive will receive a policy with 
a death benefit of $100,000 together with attendant cash values of 
approximately $11,703 (i.e., the amount of the guaranteed cash 
surrender value that a whole life policy in the amount of $100,000 
would have at the end of the ninth policy year).  Pursuant to 
Section 12(b)(ii), the Company will receive a policy with a death 
benefit of $40,200 (i.e., the difference between the Executive 
Death Benefit ($100,000) and the total death benefit of the Policy 
on October 31, 1998 ($140,200)) and with guaranteed cash surrender 
values in the amount of $10,339 (i.e., the difference between the 
total cash value of the Policy on October  31, 1998 and the amount 
of cash allocated to Executive).

The amount of cash in the Company's policy is $8,785 less than the
Company Cost (i.e., $19,124-10,339).  Pursuant to Section 12(b),  
Executive is required, on or before the Termination Date to (i) 
pay this difference to the Company, (ii) accept an insurance 
policy with a reduced death benefit and shift the reduction in the 
death benefit and attendant cash values to the Company, or (iii) 
surrender Executive's policy to the Company and receive from the 
Company cash in the amount equal to the excess, if any, of any 
cash surrender value over the Company Cost.

If Executive elects to pay the difference to the Company, 
Executive may pay this difference in a number of ways including, 
for example, Executive's own cash or a loan against the policy.  
If Executive does not make the necessary election and, if 
Executive has elected to pay cash to the Company, make the 
necessary payment on or before the Termination Date, Executive 
will be deemed to have elected to surrender Executive's policy to 
the Company and receive cash in excess of the Company Cost.


                                                       Exhibit B
                                                       Page 4

If Executive elects to pay the difference to the Company from 
Executive's own cash, Executive and the Company will have received 
the following:

                        Death         Cash
                       Benefit        Value          Cash

     Executive        $100,000       $11,703        ($8,785)

     Company          $ 40,200       $10,339         $8,785

Following the separation, Executive would have to continue to make 
the required premium payments on the policy retained by Executive.

If Executive elects to accept a policy with a reduced death 
benefit and shift the reduction in the death benefit and attendant 
cash values to the Company, Executive and the Company will have 
received the following:

                        Death         Cash
                       Benefit        Value          Cash

     Executive        $ 25,000       $ 2,918          $0

     Company          $115,200       $19,124          $0

Following the separation, Executive would have to continue to make 
the required premium payments on the policy retained by Executive.

If Executive elects (or is deemed to have elected) to surrender 
Executive's policy to the Company and receive from the Company 
cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the cash 
surrender value over the Company Cost, Executive and the Company 
will have received the following:

                        Death         Cash
                       Benefit        Value           Cash

     Executive        $      0       $     0          $2,918

     Company          $140,200       $22,042         ($2,918)

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

INTRODUCTION

     Management's discussion and analysis are intended to aid the reader in
understanding and evaluating the consolidated results of operation and financial
condition of Jefferson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Corporation").
The analysis attempts to identify trends and material changes that occurred
during the reporting periods. The discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements, their related notes and the statistical
information associated with the discussion.

     In June 1995, Jefferson National Bank, the Corporation's banking
subsidiary, purchased $35 million in deposit liabilities from two other
financial institutions. Both transactions were accounted for as purchases, and,
accordingly, accounts and transactions related to these purchases are included
in the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements subsequent to the
acquisition dates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income in 1995 rose to a record $24.9 million, or 10 percent above
$22.6 million earned in 1994. Net income per share also increased 10
percent to a record $1.64 in 1995 compared with $1.49 in 1994. Net income
in 1993 was $23.6 million, or $1.57 per share. An analysis of the factors
that affected net income in 1995, 1994, and 1993 is presented in the sections
that follow. Table 1 provides a summary of the results of operations for the
last five years and certain information regarding the Corporation's consolidated
financial condition during those periods.

   Higher income levels in 1995 lifted profitability ratios over 1994 ratios.
The return on average assets  advanced to 1.25 percent in 1995 from 1.18 percent
in 1994. In 1993 this ratio was 1.27 percent.  Another significant measure of
profitability,  the return on average shareholders' equity,  improved in 1995
to 11.43  percent  from  11.05  percent in 1994.  In 1993,  this ratio was 12.34
percent.

   Table 2 presents a quarterly summary of earnings  components for the last two
years.  In 1995, net income and net income per share  increased each quarter and
reached record quarterly levels in the final quarter of the year.  Rising net
interest  income  contributed to the positive  quarterly  earnings  trend.  Loan
growth was a key factor in the  improvement  in net  interest  income as the net
interest  margin  declined  in the  second  and third  quarters  of 1995  before
rebounding in the fourth quarter.

   Other factors influenced  quarterly comparisons between 1995 and 1994. In
the second  quarter of 1994,  investment  securities  gains of $1.2  million and
non-recurring  expenses  of $653  thousand  affected  comparisons  with the 1995
quarter.  In the third quarter of 1995, the Corporation's  F.D.I.C.  assessments
were  lowered,  and it  received  a rebate on a portion  of the  second  quarter
assessment.  The result was a reduction of $1.0 million in third quarter expense
in 1995 compared with 1994. The premium reduction lowered expenses in the fourth
quarter of 1995 of $676  thousand.  In addition,  in the fourth quarter of 1995,
the  Corporation   recognized  a  gain  of  $1.9  million   resulting  from  the
annuitization of certain pension  liabilities.  Partially offsetting the effects
of the  F.D.I.C.  assessments  and the gain from the  pension was an increase of
$1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 1995 in the provision for loan losses. The
increased  provision  for  loan  losses  as  well  as  the  other  factors  that
influenced  earnings noted above are more thoroughly discussed in subsequent
sections of this analysis.


NET INTEREST INCOME

   Net interest  income is the difference  between  interest income and interest
expense and represents the Corporation's gross profit margin. For comparative
purposes,  the income  from  tax-exempt  securities  and loans is  adjusted to a
tax-equivalent basis. This adjustment,  based on the statutory federal corporate
tax rate of 35 percent,  causes  tax-exempt  income and  resultant  yields to be
presented  on a basis  comparable  with  income  and yields  from fully  taxable
earning assets.

   The net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest income divided
by average earning assets.  It reflects the average effective rate earned by
the Corporation on its average  earning assets.  Net interest income and the net
interest  margin are  influenced  by  fluctuations  in market  rates and
changes in both the volume and mix of average earning assets and the liabilities
that fund those assets.

   Table 3 presents average balances,  related interest income and expense,  and
average  yield/cost  data for each of the last  three  years.  Table 4  reflects
changes in  interest  income and  interest  expense  resulting  from  changes in
average volume and changes due to rates.

   Tax-equivalent  net  interest  income  increased  4 percent  in 1995 to $89.0
million from $85.4 million in 1994.  Although it fluctuated during the year, the
net  interest  margin of 4.88 percent in 1995 was nearly level with the 1994 net
interest margin of 4.87 percent. Both the yields on earning assets and the costs
of interest bearing  liabilities rose in 1995 compared with 1994 as market rates
of interest were higher in 1995.

   Net interest  income and the net interest  margin  benefited in 1995 from a 4
percent  increase  in  average  earning  assets and a change in the mix of those
assets.  The loan  portfolio  experienced  steady growth  throughout  1995,  and
average loans  increased 11 percent  during the year.  Thus,  average loans as a
percent  of  average  earning  assets  increased  to 64  percent in 1995 from 60
percent in 1994.

   Influenced  by  interest  rate  trends,  competitive  factors,  and a special
marketing promotion to attract and retain deposits,  the cost of funds rose more
rapidly  in  1995  than  the  yield  on  average  earning  assets.  The  cost of
interest-bearing  liabilities rose 79 basis points in 1995 over 1994 as interest
expense increased 29 percent. By comparison,  the yield on earning assets was 64
basis points higher in 1995 as tax-equivalent  interest income increased only 13
percent.  In addition  to the  factors  noted  above,  average  interest-bearing
liabilities increased only 3 percent in 1995, thus limiting the effect of higher
average rates.

*Fully taxable equivalent income is calculated by dividing actual tax-exempt
income by a factor which increases  interest income to an amount that would need
to be received  if such  income  were  taxable at the Federal tax rate of 35% in
1995,  1994 and 1993.  Loan interest income includes fees of $2,921,000 in 1995;
$2,831,000 in 1994; and $2,633,000 in 1993. Loans include non-accrual loan
balances and interest accrued, if any.

   As 1995  drew to a close,  market  interest  rates  showed  signs of  easing.
Changes in interest rates may result in  fluctuations in the net interest margin
and net interest  income.  The level of growth in the loan portfolio and pricing
competition  for deposits will be two key  influences on net interest  income in
1996.

   Comparing  1994 with 1993,  tax-equivalent  net interest  income  increased 3
percent,  and the net interest  margin was relatively  stable at 4.87 percent in
1994 compared with 4.85 percent in 1993. Rising interest rates in 1994 helped to
lift net interest  income and contributed to the improvement in the net interest
margin. Other factors affecting the net interest margin in 1994 were a 3 percent
increase  in  average  earning  assets  and a shift in the mix of those  assets.
Average loans as a percent of average earning assets  increased to 60 percent in
1994 compared with 59 percent in 1993.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

   The provision for loan losses is the amount charged to expense each year that
is intended to maintain an adequate  allowance,  or reserve,  for loan losses in
the future. The adequacy of the allowance and,  consequently,  the provision for
loan losses is dependent on a variety of factors  including  size,  growth,  and
composition of the loan portfolio, historical and expected loan loss experience,
and an  analysis  of the  quality of the loan  portfolio  and  general  economic
conditions.

   In 1995, the Corporation raised its provision for loan losses to $3.0 million
from $1.6 million in 1994. In 1993,  the provision was $1.9 million.  The higher
provision in 1995 compared with 1994 reflected 11 percent growth in the loan
portfolio, increased loan losses, and reports of rising consumer debt levels and
delinquencies.  The lower  provision in 1994  compared  with 1993  reflected
improvement  in  economic  conditions  and a declining  trend in  non-performing
assets.

   If loan  growth  is  sustained  at or near 1995  levels in 1996 and  economic
conditions do not vary  significantly  from those at year-end  1995, the 1996
provision  for loan  losses may be near or above the 1995  amount.  Trends  that
develop in 1996  relating to the economy,  actual loan losses,  and the level of
non-performing assets will strongly influence the amount of the provision.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

   Non-interest  income  includes  service charges and other related income from
services rendered by the Corporation. In addition,  non-interest income includes
gains and losses realized from the sale of fixed  assets,  sales and calls of
investment securities, sales of mortgage loans, and other income items.

   Non-interest  income  increased 6 percent in 1995 to $19.0 million from $18.0
million  in 1994.  Influencing  the  comparison  was $1.9  million in income
related to the  annuitization  of certain  pension  liabilities in 1995 and $1.2
million in income in 1994 from the sale of investment  securities  available for
sale. The 1995 annuitization of pension  liabilities applied only to retirees of
the Corporation prior to a specified date. As the result of reducing the pension
plan liability,  a  proportionate  amount of the excess in plan assets over plan
liabilities was recognized as income.  Excluding the 1995  annuitization and the
1994 investment securities gains from the totals,  non-interest income increased
2 percent in 1995.  Contributing  to this increase was a 14 percent  increase in
trust income and a 5 percent increase in deposit account fees.  Offsetting these
increases  was a 60 percent  reduction  in income  related to sales of  mortgage
loans.  This  decrease  was  attributable  to a lower  volume of  mortgage  loan
refinancing  and a reduction  in the volume of fixed  rate  mortgage  loan
originations. In a rising interest rate environment origination volume increased
in adjustable rate mortgages, which were added to the loan portfolio rather than
sold in the secondary market.

   Non-interest  income  increased 4 percent in 1994 to $17.9  million  compared
with  $17.2  million  in  1993.  Non-interest  income  was  boosted  in  1994 by
securities  available for sale gains of $1.2 million.  More than offsetting this
increase,  however,  was a decrease in income from mortgage loan sales. The same
factors  that  influenced  such income in 1995 were  applicable  to the 1994
decrease.  In other categories of non-interest  income, trust income decreased 2
percent  to $3.9  million,  deposit  account  fees  increased  3 percent to $8.7
million,  and other income rose 30 percent to $3.3 million in 1994 compared with
1993.  The rise in  other  income  was  attributable  to a  variety  of  sources
including asset sales, automated teller machine fees, and safe deposit box rent.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

   Non-interest expense represents the overhead expenses of the Corporation. The
Corporation  monitors all  categories of  non-interest  expense in an attempt to
improve productivity and earnings performance.

   Non-interest  expense  in 1995 was  nearly  level  with the  1994  amount.  A
significant  factor in this  comparison  was a reduction  in F.D.I.C.  insurance
assessments  to $.04 per $100 of  insured  deposits  in 1995  from $.23 in prior
years.  The result was a decrease of $1.7 million in these  assessments  in 1995
compared  with 1994.  In  addition,  the  initial  assessment  rate for 1996 was
reduced to zero, which will result in a further reduction of 1996 expense.

   Excluding  the  difference  in  F.D.I.C.  assessments,  non-interest  expense
increased 3 percent in 1995 over 1994.  The largest  factor in this increase was
personnel expense, which increased 5 percent in 1995 to $39.2 million. Occupancy
expense was $5.1 million in both 1995 and 1994.  Equipment  expense  increased 2
percent to $6.1 million in 1995.  Also  increasing in 1995 were office  supplies
expense,  which rose 7 percent,  postage expense,  which was up 13 percent,  and
telecommunications  expense, which increased 2 percent. Partially offsetting the
increases noted above,  other expense  decreased 5 percent in 1995 compared with
1994.  Contributing to this decrease were  reductions in legal fees,  marketing,
and expenses related to foreclosed properties.

   Comparing 1994 with 1993,  non-interest  expense increased 8 percent to $66.4
million. Contributing to the increase was personnel expense, which was 8 percent
higher in 1994 at $37.3 million.  Personnel expense rose as the result of normal
wage increases and related  benefit  expenses and from an increase in the number
of  employees.  Occupancy  expense  increased 7 percent in 1994,  and  equipment
expense was 4 percent higher  compared with the 1993 amount.  Expense for office
supplies in 1994 was level with the 1993 amount, and postage expense decreased 2
percent.  Telecommunications  expense,  however,  increased  25  percent in 1994
compared with 1993 as the result of enhancing our  communications  capabilities.
Other  expense  in 1994  increased  12  percent.  Leading  contributors  to this
increase were legal and  professional  fees,  amortization of intangible  assets
associated with acquisitions, and certain non-recurring expenses.

INCOME TAXES

   The provision for income taxes was $12.3 million in 1995 and $11.4 million in
1994. Higher operating  earnings were primarily  responsible for the increase in
income taxes. In 1994,  income taxes of $11.4 million were greater than the 1993
amount of $11.2  million in spite of a reduction  in operating  earnings.  Lower
tax-exempt income and other factors affected the comparison.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

   The  Corporation's  financial  condition is measured in terms of its asset
and liability  composition,  asset quality,  capital  resources,  and liquidity.
Improved  economic  conditions  in 1995 led to stronger  asset  growth,  and the
Corporation's  total assets  exceeded the $2 billion mark for the first time.
Leading  the asset  growth,  the loan  portfolio  increased  11 percent in 1995.
Deposits,  which are the  Corporation's  principal  funding source,  increased 6
percent in 1995.  While the 1995 growth rate was stronger than the 1994 rate, it
still  reflected  a trend for funds to  migrate  from  deposits  into  other
investment  opportunities.  Throughout  1995, as in prior years,  capital levels
were strong and liquidity measures were more than adequate.

   The Corporation is not engaged in investment  strategies involving derivative
financial  instruments.  Asset and liability  management is conducted without
the use of forward-based contracts, options, swap agreements, or other synthetic
financial  instruments  derived  from  the  value  of  an  underlying  asset,
reference rate, or index.  Off-balance sheet risks such as commitments to extend
credit, letters of credit, and other items are discussed in Note 10 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASSETS

   On December 31, 1995,  total assets were $2.051 billion,  or 7 percent higher
than the year earlier total of $1.926 billion.  Average total assets increased 4
percent in 1995 to $1.992 billion from $1.921 billion in 1994.

   LOAN  PORTFOLIO.  Loans,  net of  unearned  income  grew 11 percent to $1.220
billion on  December  31, 1995 from $1.102  billion  one year  earlier.  Average
loans,  net of  unearned  income  also  increased  11  percent in 1995 to $1.164
billion from $1.047 billion in 1994.

   Consumer,  commercial, and mortgage loans contributed to the loan portfolio's
growth in 1995.  Consumer  lending was the strongest in the indirect  portion of
the portfolio and in credit cards, which were a new addition to the portfolio in
1995. Indirect loans are loans to individuals to finance the purchase of certain
goods or services, principally automobiles, which are originated through dealers
or other vendors. The Corporation expanded the scope of this lending in 1994 and
1995 and will continue to do so in 1996. In December 1995, the Corporation began
processing  loans in conjunction  with an agreement with a nationwide  insurance
company.  This  agreement,  which  relates to insurance  agents in a significant
portion of  Virginia,  will be a source of  additional  loan volume in 1996.  At
year-end 1995, indirect loans totaled $105 million, or 31 percent above the year
earlier total of $80 million.  Credit card balances added $9 million to the loan
portfolio at year-end 1995. With marketing of credit cards restricted  primarily
to our own customer  base, the growth in these balances in 1995 was an important
addition to the loan portfolio.

   Commercial loans, which is the largest segment of the portfolio, increased 15
percent in 1995. This increase was attributable to improved economic activity in
the various markets served by the Corporation and reflected continued success in
a market niche important to the Corporation.

   Mortgage  loans rose 11 percent to $406 million on December  31,  1995.  This
increase was  attributable  principally to adjustable  rate mortgages which were
popular in this rising interest rate environment.

   Loan growth was strong  throughout  1995.  In spite of evidence that consumer
debt levels were high, loan volume showed continued strength as the year drew to
a close.  A decline  in  interest  rates  near  year-end  should  help to offset
potential  weakening  in loan  demand.  In  addition,  the  portions of the loan
portfolio  that had the  strongest  growth in 1995 were areas  designated by the
Corporation  for emphasis.  Indirect  lending is expected to continue its growth
from the addition of the insurance company arrangement and other dealers. Credit
card balances are still increasing as card issuance and usage grows.  Lending to
small businesses is a niche market for the Corporation,  and this segment of the
portfolio  should continue to benefit from business  borrowers that migrate away
from larger financial institutions.  Although mortgage loan originations in 1996
may benefit from favorable interest rates and from continued pursuit of mortgage
loan  business by the  Corporation,  the growth rate of this segment of the loan
portfolio  may be less in 1996  than in 1995 if the  market  favors  fixed  rate
mortgages as opposed to  adjustable  rate  mortgages.  The  Corporation,  in its
efforts to control  interest rate risk,  generally sells in the secondary market
most of the fixed rate mortgages that it originates.  While these sales generate
fee income, they do not add to the loan portfolio.




   On December 31, 1995, the  Corporation had no  concentration  of loans in any
one  industry  in excess of 10  percent  of its loan  portfolio.  Because of the
nature of the Corporation's market, loan collateral is predominantly real estate
related.  Thus,  periodic  weaknesses in real estate markets may have an adverse
effect on collateral  values and could lead to writedowns  and loan losses.  The
Corporation  carefully  monitors  its  exposure  to risk from  construction  and
development loans,  commercial real estate loans, and residential  lending.  The
Corporation  does not engage in foreign lending  activities.  Consequently,  the
loan portfolio is not exposed to risk from foreign credits.

   With respect to credit quality, the Corporation's past performance has been a
source of financial strength.  Net loan losses in 1995 were $3.3 million, or .29
percent of average loans, net of unearned income.  In 1994, net loan losses were
$1.7 million, or only .16 percent of average loans, net of unearned income. Loan
losses  rose in 1995  principally  as the  result  of  writedowns  on two  large
credits.

   Loan  loss   expectations  for  1996  are  influenced  by  positive  economic
conditions,  declining  interest  rates,  and  lower  levels of  problem  assets
combined  with some  concern  about  the level of  consumer  debt.  Thus,  it is
expected that loan losses in 1996 would not be materially  greater than those in
1995.  However,  unforeseen  changes in borrowers'  financial  conditions  could
impact actual loan losses in 1996. The Corporation  will continue its efforts to
minimize future credit losses.

December 31, 1994, the total was $9.7 million,  or .88 percent of loans,  net of
unearned income.  Foreclosed  properties at December 31, 1995, were $4.1 million
compared with the year earlier total of $5.9 million.  Foreclosed properties are
reported  net of  writedowns  at the lower of cost or estimated  net  realizable
value.  At December 31, 1995,  total risk  elements  represented  1.1 percent of
loans,  net of unearned  income plus  foreclosed  properties  and .64 percent of
total assets.  These ratios at the end of 1994 were 1.4 percent and .81 percent,
respectively.  At year-end 1995, the  Corporation  identified an additional $2.4
million  in loans  that pose some  uncertainty  over the  borrowers'  ability to
comply with loan repayment terms.

   With  regard to the  non-accrual  loans  identified  in Table 10, the amounts
classified  in this  category  represent  loan  balances on which the accrual of
interest has been  discontinued.  The largest  exposure to a single  borrower in
this group of loans at year-end  1995 was $1.2  million.  Only 9 other loans had
balances  greater than $200 thousand.  Loans are placed in a non-accrual  status
when  collection of principal or interest is legally  barred or when  management
determines  that  collection  of  interest  cannot  be  assured  in light of the
financial condition of the borrower and the circumstances  surrounding the loan.
The Corporation's  subsidiary bank is in substantial  compliance with regulatory
policy that requires  accrual of interest to be  discontinued  when principal or
interest is past due for 90 days or more unless the loan is well  secured and in
the process of  collection.  Because of the  historical  experience  of net loan
losses, the ratio of risk elements to loans outstanding, and the overall quality
of the loan portfolio, management has been able to evaluate each individual loan
situation of any appreciable magnitude and its potential for collection prior to
classifying any loan as non-accrual.

   Included in the $4.1 million total of  foreclosed  properties at December 31,
1995,  were 16 parcels of real estate.  The highest  carrying  value of a single
property  was  $906  thousand.  Only 4  other  parcels  included  in  foreclosed
properties at year-end 1995 had carrying values above $200 thousand.

For the years ended December 31, 1995,  1994, and 1993, gross interest income in
the amount of $632,000,  $462,000 and  $863,000,  respectively,  would have been
recorded  on loans  reported  as  non-accrual  if the loans had been  current in
accordance  with their  original  terms and  conditions.  The amount of interest
income on those  loans that was  included  in net  interest  income  amounted to
$49,000, $66,000 and $754,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. At December
31, 1995, the Corporation  identified  additional loans totaling $2,399,000 that
pose some  uncertainty  over the  borrowers'  ability  to  comply  with the loan
repayment terms.  Investment  securities also may pose credit risks. On December
31, 1995, all investment securities were performing according to terms.

   The  Corporation  maintains a general  allowance for loan losses and does not
allocate its allowance for loan losses to individual  categories  for management
purposes.  Table 11 shows an  allocation  among  loan  categories  based upon an
analysis of the portfolio's  composition,  historical loan loss experience,  and
other relevant  factors.  In determining  the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses,  management  considers the size and  composition of the loan  portfolio,
historical  loss  experience,  economic  conditions,  the value and  adequacy of
collateral and guarantors,  and the current level of the allowance. In addition,
consideration is given to potential losses associated with non-accrual loans and
loans that are deemed potential problems.

   At December 31, 1995,  the  allowance for loan losses was $13.4  million,  or
1.10 percent of loans, net of unearned income. A year earlier, the allowance was
$13.8 million, or 1.25 percent of loans, net of unearned income. At its year-end
1995 level,  the allowance  for loan losses  exceeded the sum of net loan losses
over the  previous  five years.  At that  level,  management  believes  that the
allowance is adequate,  subject to  unforeseen  economic  changes or  unexpected
regulatory developments.

   At December 31, 1995, the combined  reported  value of investment  securities
was $643 million compared with the year earlier total of $639 million. Available
for Sale  securities  increased  to $189  million on December 31, 1995 from $171
million at year-end 1994. Held to Maturity securities  decreased to $455 million
on December 31, 1995 from the year earlier total of $468 million.

   Approximately $10 million of the change in securities  Available for Sale was
attributable  to changes in market  valuations of the  securities.  In 1995, the
fair value  adjustment  of the  amortized  cost of the  securities  reflected an
unrealized  gain of  $4.5  million.  In  1994  this  adjustment  resulted  in an
unrealized  loss of $5.7 million.  The  unrealized  gain in 1995 resulted from a
declining  interest  rate  environment  resulting  in  the  securities  held  as
Available  for Sale  carrying  yields  higher  than  current  market  yields for
comparable  securities.  Conversely,  at year-end 1994, market rates of interest
were higher than yields in the  portfolio,  thus  reducing the fair value of the
securities  Available  for  Sale.  In the event  the  Corporation  needs to sell
securities classified as Available for Sale, gains or losses on such sales would
be reflected in the Corporation's consolidated statement of income.

On December 31,  1995,  the  weighted  average  yield of the Held to Maturity
portfolio  was 6.33  percent.  The weighted  average yield of Available for Sale
securities was 6.30 percent. The market value of securities Held to Maturity was
101.1  percent of its book value at year-end  1995 compared with 97.3 percent on
December 31, 1994. Additional information regarding investment securities can be
found in Table 12 and Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements.
Quality ratings of the  Corporation's  corporate debt securities appear in Table
13. With  the  exception  of  securities  issued  by the U.S.  Government,  the
Corporation held no concentration of 10 percent or greater of its  shareholders'
equity in securities of any single issuer at December 31, 1995.

Money Market Investments.  At year-end 1995, the Corporation had $15 million in
short-term money market investments. One year earlier, the Corporation had no
short-term money market  investments.  In 1995 these  instruments  averaged $11
million compared with the 1994 average of $25 million.  The average declined in
1995 as funds were used for loan growth.

Liabilities

   The  Corporation  relies  almost  exclusively  on core  deposits  to fund its
earning assets.

   Deposits.  Total  deposits on December  31,  1995 were $1.793  billion,  or 6
percent above the year earlier total of $1.689  billion.  Average total deposits
in 1995 of $1.735  billion  were 3  percent  above  the 1994  average  of $1.689
billion. The stronger growth rate in the year-end balances compared with average
balances reflected stronger growth in the second half of 1995. However,  deposit
totals  continued  to be  affected  in  1995  by  the  movement  of  funds  into
alternative investment instruments.

   Non-interest  bearing  demand  deposits were 6 percent higher at December 31,
1995,  at $287 million  compared  with the year-end  1994 total of $271 million.
Interest-bearing deposits also increased 6 percent to $1.506 billion at year-end
1995  from the year  earlier  total of  $1.417  billion.  Most of the  growth in
interest-bearing deposits occurred in other time deposits, which are principally
consumer  certificates  of deposits less than $100  thousand.  Total balances in
these  accounts  increased 18 percent in 1995 to $605 million.  Contributing  to
this increase was a special deposit  promotion early in 1995 designed to attract
and retain  deposits.  Also  contributing  to the  increase in  interest-bearing
deposits were interest checking accounts,  which increased 3 percent at year-end
1995 compared with the year earlier total.  Regular  savings  accounts and money
market deposit  accounts  decreased 10 percent and 4 percent,  respectively,  in
comparisons  between  year-end 1995 and 1994.  Customers  moved funds from these
accounts to other deposits or investments  bearing higher  returns.  Balances in
certificates  of deposit of $100  thousand and over  increased to $94 million at
year-end  1995 from the year  earlier  total of $73  million  due in part to the
promotional interest rates offered in the second quarter.

   Debt.  Short-term  borrowings  totaled $16 million at year-end 1995 and 1994.
These  borrowings  include  federal  funds  purchased,   securities  sold  under
agreements to repurchase,  and other  borrowings.  Total  short-term  borrowings
averaged $25 million in 1995 and $15 million in 1994.  Table 15  summarizes  the
Corporation's  position with respect to federal funds  purchased and  securities
sold under  agreements  to  repurchase.  Long-term  debt totaled $15 thousand at
year-end 1995 compared with the year earlier total of $19 thousand.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity of $227 million at year-end was 10 percent above the
year earlier total of $207 million. Shareholders' equity averaged $217 million
in 1995, 6 percent above the 1994 average of $205 million. Average shareholders'
equity as a percent of average total assets was 10.9 percent in 1995 and 10.7
percent in 1994.

The Federal Reserve mandates minimum capital requirements for bank holding
companies. The Federal Reserve applied a risk based capital measure to determine
capital adequacy. Under this system all balance sheet assets are assigned a
certain risk category with a prescribed weight. Off-balance sheet items, such as
loan commitments and letters of credit, also are classified by risk with duly
assigned weights. The sum of the balance sheet and off-balance sheet amounts
multiplied by their respective risk weight factors must then meet a required
minimum capital test. Tier I Capital is defined as shareholders' equity minus
certain intangible assets. Tier 2 Capital includes a certain amount of the
allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 1995, the minimum Tier I ratio was 4
percent and the minimum required Total Capital (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) ratio was 8
percent. The Corporation's Tier 1 ratio of 15.30 percent and its Total Capital
Ratio of 16.26 percent were well in excess of minimum requirements. The Federal
Reserve also utilizes a Tier 1 leverage ratio in conjunction with its risk based
capital standard. This ratio measures Tier 1 Capital as a percent of total
average assets less intangible assets. The minimum leverage ratio is 3 percent.
At December 31, 1995, the Corporation's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.59 percent.
The Comptroller of the Currency has adopted similar requirements that affect the
Corporation's bank subsidiary. The bank subsidiary also exceeds all minimum
requirements.

Liquidity

   Liquidity in a banking company measures the ability to provide funds for
customers' demands for loans and deposit withdrawals without impairing
profitability. To meet these needs, the Corportaion maintains cash reserves and
readily marketable investments in addition to funds provided from loan
repayments and maturing securities. Funds also can be obtained through
increasing deposits or short-term borrowings and through the bank's borrowing
privileges as the Federal Reserve.

   A related concern of liquidity management is interest rate sensitivity.
Changes in interest rates may affect both funding requirements as well as the
relative liquidity of certain assets. Prudent balance sheet management requires
continual protection against any unanticipated or significant changes in the
level of market interest rates. Stable levels of net interest income should be
maintained in a changing environment by ensuring that interest rate risk is kept
at an acceptable level. Accordingly, the Corporation has developed guidelines
that stipulate that annual net interest income should not be reduced by more
than 10 percent as the result of a sudden 200 basis point upward or downward
movement in interest rates.

   Management uses a variety of interst sensitivity, or "gap", reports to
summarize the Corporation's ability to reprice its interest-sensitive assets and
liabilities over various time intervals. As asset-sensitive, or positive, gap
implies that assets will reprice faster than liabilities. In an increasing
interest rate environment, net interest income would be positively affected.
Conversely, a liability-sensitive, or negative gap implies that liabilities will
reprice faster than assets and, thus, that net interest income would be
positively affected by decreasing interest rates. As shown in Table 18, at
December 31, 1995 Jefferson Bankshares was positively gapped $58.7 million over
the next twelve months. This amount was well within the approved exposure limits
of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities of 1.25 to 1 and
 .75 to 1.

In addition to gap analysis, management also uses simulation modeling to
forecast future balance sheet movements using various interest rate scenarios.
By studying the effects on net interest income of rising, falling, and
most-likely interest rate scenarios, the Corporation can position itself to take
advantage of anticipated interest rate movements. It also can protect itself
better against any unexpected interest rate movements by fully understanding the
dynamic nature of its balance sheet components.

Jefferson Bankshares uses traditional, on-balance sheet means for limiting
interest rate risk. Through aggressive pricing and/or marketing strategies, the
Corporation is able to emphasize fixed or variable rate assets and liabilities
to position the balance sheet in accordance with management's strategies and
tolerance for interest rate risk.

Accounting Rule Changes

   In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  115,  Accounting  for  Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities.  The Statement,  which was effective
for years  beginning  after  December 15, 1993,  addresses  the  accounting  for
investments in certain  equity and all debt  securities.  Under this  Statement,
investments are to be  classified  into three  categories:  Held to Maturity;
Trading Securities; and Available for Sale Securities.

   The  Corporation  adopted this  Statement  in the  first  quarter of 1994.
Although  the  Corporation  has the  intent and  ability to hold its  investment
securities  until  maturity,  certain  securities  were  placed in the  category
Available for Sale for potential  liquidity  purposes.  In accordance  with SFAS
115,  these  securities  are  reported  at  fair  value  in  the   Corporation's
Consolidated Financial Statements,  and the net unrealized gains and losses have
been  excluded   from   earnings  and  reported  as  a  separate   component  of
shareholders'  equity,  net of  tax  effects.  At the  beginning  of  1994,  the
adjustment,  net of tax  effects,  was $5.1  million  of  unrealized  gains.  As
interest  rates rose  throughout  1994, the fair value of the Available for Sale
securities  decreased and resulted in an unrealized loss, net of tax effects, of
$3.7 million as of December 31, 1994. The declining interest rate environment in
1995 caused the Available for Sale securities to reflect an unrealized gain,
net of tax effects, of $2.9 million as of December 31, 1995.

   On January 1, 1995,  the  Corporation  adopted  SFAS No. 114,  Accounting  by
Creditors for  Impairment  of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118,  Accounting by
Creditors for  Impairment  of a  Loan-Income  Recognition  and  Disclosure.  The
Statement  requires  impaired  loans  to be  measured  at the  present  value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate,
except that all collateral-dependent  loans are measured for impairment based on
the fair value of the collateral. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance is based on a review of the Corporation's  historical loss experience,
known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio,  charge-offs,  and the level and
trend  of  interest  rates.  In  reviewing  the  effects  of  implementing  this
Statement,  management deemed the allowance for loan losses to be adequate,  and
no additional provision results from the implementation of the Statement.

   In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires
impairment  losses to be recorded on long-lived  assets used in operations  when
indicators  of  impairment  are  present  and the  undiscounted  cash  flows
estimated to be  generated  by those  assets are less than the assets'  carrying
amounts.  SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived  assets that are
expected to be  disposed  of. The  Company  will adopt SFAS 121 in the  first
quarter of 1996 and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the effect
of adoption will be material.

   In May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122,  Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights, which requires  capitalization of the cost of mortgage servicing rights.
The Corporation  does not service loans that are applicable under this Statement
and, accordingly, this Statement will have no impact on the Corporation.

   In October 1995,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 123,  Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation,  which  establishes  a new fair  value  method of  accounting  for
stock-based  compensation  arrangements  with employees.  The Statement does not
require an entity to adopt the new method.  As  discussed in Note 9 of the Notes
to Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  the Corporation has two incentive stock
option plans covered by the provisions of this Statement.  The Corporation  will
elect not to adopt the new method of accounting  and will continue to follow the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994, AND 1993

1   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   Jefferson  Bankshares,  Inc. ("the  Corporation") is the bank holding company
for  its  subsidiary,   Jefferson   National  Bank,  and  is   headquartered  in
Charlottesville, Virginia. Through its subsidiary bank, the Corporation delivers
financial  services with a network of 97 offices  covering many of the principal
markets of Virginia.  The accounting and reporting  policies of the  Corporation
conform to generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and to general  practice
within the banking industry.

A    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation
and  its  subsidiaries,   all  of  which  are   wholly-owned.   All  significant
intercompany  balances and transactions  have been eliminated in  consolidation.
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
presentations.

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B    INVESTMENT SECURITIES
   As more  fully  discussed  in Note 3, on January  1,  1994,  the  Corporation
adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 115,  Accounting  for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (Statement 115). The Statement
requires  certain  investment   securities  to  be  reported  in  one  of  three
categories:  Trading,  Available for Sale, or Held to Maturity. Upon adoption of
this  Statement,  a  portion  of the  investment  portfolio  was  classified  as
Available for Sale. In accordance  with  Statement  115,  these  securities  are
reported in the Corporation's  consolidated  financial statements at fair value.
Unrealized  gains and losses,  net of the related tax effect,  are excluded from
earnings and  reported as a separate  component  of  shareholders'  equity until
realized. Held to Maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost.
The Corporation has no trading account securities.

   Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are computed by the level
yield method.

C    LOANS

   On January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards  (SFAS) No. 114,  Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as
amended by SFAS No. 118. Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income
Recognition and Disclosure. The Statement requires impaired loans to be measured
at the present value of expected future cash flows  discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured
for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.

   Interest  on some  instalment  loans and  certain  second  mortgage  loans is
accrued by a method that  approximates  the level yield method.  Interest on all
other loans is accrued based upon the principal amounts outstanding. The accrual
of  interest  on loans is  discontinued  when the  collection  of  principal  or
interest  is  legally  barred or  considered  highly  unlikely.  After a loan is
classified  non-accrual,  interest  income  is  recognized  only  to the  extent
payments are received.

   The  Corporation's  subsidiary bank is in compliance  with regulatory  policy
that requires accrual of interest to be discontinued  when principal or interest
is due and has remained  unpaid for 90 days or more unless the loan is both well
secured and in the process of collection.

D    ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
   The  Corporation  follows the allowance  method in providing for loan losses.
Accordingly,  all loan losses are charged to the  allowance  for loan losses and
all recoveries are credited to it.

   Estimates of possible  future  losses  involve the  exercise of  management's
judgment and assumptions with respect to future conditions.  Management utilizes
these estimates and assumptions in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles,  and actual results could differ from these estimates. The principal
factors  considered by management in  determining  the adequacy of the allowance
are size and  composition of the loan  portfolio,  historical  loss  experience,
economic conditions,  the value and adequacy of collateral,  guarantors, and the
current level of the allowance.

E    PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
   Premises and equipment are stated at cost less  accumulated  depreciation and
amortization.  Depreciation and amortization charges are computed principally by
the  straight-line  method based upon the estimated  useful lives of the assets,
except for  leasehold  improvements  which are  amortized  over the lives of the
respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the  improvements,  whichever
is shorter.  The costs of major  renovations and  betterments  are  capitalized,
while the costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

F    FORECLOSED PROPERTIES
   Foreclosed  properties,  classified  in "Other  assets"  in the  accompanying
consolidated  balance sheets,  consist  primarily of real estate held for resale
which  was  acquired  through  foreclosure  on  loans  secured  by real  estate.
Foreclosed properties are carried at the lower of cost or appraised market value
less  estimated  disposal  costs.  Writedowns  to  market  value  at the date of
foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in
market  value  are  charged  to  expense.   Management  utilizes  estimates  and
assumptions in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

G    GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
   Goodwill is  amortized  using the straight  line method over  fifteen  years.
Other acquired  intangible assets, such as the value of purchased core deposits,
are  amortized  using the straight line method over the periods  benefited,  not
exceeding fifteen years.

H    INCOME TAXES
   The  Corporation  accounts  for income  taxes  using the asset and  liability
method of  accounting  for income taxes as  prescribed by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (Statement 109). Under
the asset and  liability  method of  Statement  109,  deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities  are  recognized  for the future tax  consequences  attributable  to
differences  between the consolidated  financial  statement  carrying amounts of
existing  assets and liabilities  and their  respective tax bases.  Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled.  Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets
and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is  recognized  in income in the year
that includes the enactment date.

I    COMMON STOCK
   Shares of its own common stock reacquired by the Corporation are cancelled as
a matter of state law and are accounted for as authorized but unissued shares.

J    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
   Earnings per common share  amounts are  calculated  by dividing net income by
the daily average number of outstanding common shares.  Common share equivalents
resulting  from the  incentive  stock plan and stock option plan are not used in
the calculations because their effect is not material.

K    PENSION PLAN
   The Corporation has a non-contributory, trusteed defined benefit pension plan
covering  salaried  employees and some hourly employees  meeting certain age and
service requirements.  The Corporation computes the net periodic pension cost of
the plan in accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 87,
Employers'  Accounting for Pensions.  The net periodic  pension cost consists of
the  following  components:  service  cost  (benefits  earned  during the year),
interest  costs on the  projected  benefit  obligation,  actual  return  on plan
assets,  and the net amount  resulting  from the  amortization  and  deferral of
certain items over 15 years.  Due to its fully funded status,  no  contributions
were made to the plan in 1995, 1994, or 1993.

L    TRUST DIVISION
   Securities  and other  property held by the Trust  Division in a fiduciary or
agency  capacity  are not  assets of the  Corporation  and,  therefore,  are not
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

M    STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
   Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds
sold and other money market investments. Supplemental disclosures of cash flow
information follows:

2   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
   In June 1995,  Jefferson National Bank acquired the deposits  associated with
the  Waynesboro  office of First Union  National Bank and the downtown  Richmond
office of Virginia  First  Savings  Bank.  Approximately  $35 million in deposit
accounts  were  transferred  to  Jefferson  in  these  two   transactions.   The
transactions resulted in goodwill of $2.4 million.

   On August 18, 1994, Bank of Loudoun (Loudoun) merged into Jefferson  National
Bank. The Corporation  issued 538,881 shares of its common stock in exchange for
all of the  outstanding  shares of  common  stock of  Loudoun.  The  merger  was
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements  have been  restated  to include the  accounts  and  transactions  of
Loudoun for all periods presented.

   On March 25, 1994,  Jefferson National Bank purchased the deposit liabilities
of Liberty Federal Savings Bank (Liberty) from the Resolution Trust Corporation.
Liberty had two banking  offices in Warrenton,  Virginia,  and total deposits of
approximately $24 million. The transaction resulted in goodwill of $2.0 million.

   Following  the close of business  on  February  11,  1993,  People's  Bank of
Virginia  Beach (PBVB) merged with  Jefferson  National  Bank.  The  Corporation
issued  34,369  shares  of its  common  stock and paid  $562,000  in cash in the
transaction.  In addition,  $9,000 was paid in cash in  settlement of fractional
shares.  On February 11, 1993, PBVB had $13 million in total assets,  $7 million
in loans, and $12 million in deposits.  The transaction  resulted in goodwill of
$639 thousand.

   The  transactions  with First Union,  Virginia  First,  Liberty and PBVB were
accounted for as purchases, and, accordingly,  the accounts and transactions for
each entity are included in the Corporation's  consolidated financial statements
subsequent to the respective merger dates.

3   INVESTMENT SECURITIES
    As discussed in Note 1(B), on January 1, 1994, the  Corporation  adopted the
provisions of Statement  115. In  accordance  with the  Statement,  prior period
financial  statements have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting
principle.  As of  January 1,  1994,  the  cumulative  effect of  adopting  this
Statement was an increase in  consolidated  shareholders'  equity of $5,072,000,
net of  deferred  taxes of  $2,731,000  to reflect the net  unrealized  gains on
securities  classified as Available for Sale that were previously  classified as
Held to Maturity and carried at  amortized  cost.  As of December 31, 1994,  the
impact on consolidated shareholders' equity was a decrease of $3,691,000, net of
deferred taxes of $1,987,000.  As of December 31, 1995, the fair value in excess
of the amortized cost of securities available for sale resulted in an unrealized
gain of  $4,466,000.  The  impact on  consolidated  shareholders'  equity was an
increase of $2,903,000, net of deferred taxes of $1,563,000.

   Sales and calls of investment securities produced the following results:

from calls of Held to Maturity  securities  were $148,000 in 1995 and $4,838,000
in 1994.

   Investment  securities having carrying values of $109,729,000 at December 31,

4   LOANS
   The composition of the loan portfolio by loan  classification  as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, appears in Table 7, Loan Portfolio,  in MD&A.  Information on
risk elements in the loan  portfolio for 1995 and 1994 appears in Table 10, Risk
Elements, in MD&A.

   Loans  to  directors  and  executive  officers  of the  Corporation  and  its
significant  subsidiaries,  loans to companies in which they have a  significant
interest,  and  loans  to  members  of  their  immediate  families  are  made on
substantially  the same  terms as those  prevailing  at the time for other  loan
customers. Excluding loans aggregating less than $60,000 to any such person, his
or her  interests,  and  immediate  family  members,  the balances of such loans
outstanding  were  $20,850,000  and  $20,853,000  at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The changes in the balances  from  year-end 1994 to 1995 resulted
from  additions  during  1995  of  $39,350,000  and  collections   amounting  to
$39,353,000.

5   ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

adopted Statement 109. As provided by Statement 109, the Corporation  elected to
adopt this statement  prospectively  and has recorded the  cumulative  effect of
such adoption in its 1993  provision  for income  taxes.  The result of applying
Statement 109 was immaterial.

   The  current and  deferred  income tax expense  (benefit)  provisions  are as
follows:

   The  Corporation and its  subsidiaries  file  consolidated  Federal and state
income tax returns. At December 31, 1995, the Corporation has net operating loss
carryforwards  obtained from previous  business  combinations for Federal income
tax purposes of approximately  $1.4 million which are available to offset future
Federal taxable income, if any, through 2008. The Corporation has not recognized
a  valuation  allowance  for the gross  deferred  tax  benefit  recorded  in the
accompanying 1995 and 1994 consolidated balance sheets since it is not dependent
on future earnings for recoverability.

7   PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
   The  Corporation's  principal  executive offices are located at 123 East Main
   Street,  Charlottesville,  Virginia.

   Premises and  equipment at December 31, 1995 and 1994, are summarized as

   Depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment aggregated $5,766,000
in 1995, $5,723,000 in 1994, and $5,266,000 in 1993.

   At December 31, 1995,  the  Corporation  leased 27 of its 97 banking  offices
under operating  lease  agreements on terms ranging from 1 to 25 years generally
with renewal  options up to 10 years.  Supplementary  office space and equipment
are leased on a short-term basis.

   Rent expense charged to operations under operating lease  agreements  totaled
$1,133,000,  $1,081,000,  and $1,044,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993,  respectively.
The following is a schedule by year of future  minimum rental  payments,  net of
subleases,  required under non-cancelable  operating leases that have initial or
remaining terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 1995:

   Management  expects that in the normal course of business most leases will be
renewed or replaced by other leases.  Therefore,  it is anticipated  that future
annual rental  expense will not be less than the amount shown for the year ended
December 31, 1995.  Most of the leases provide that the  Corporation  pay taxes,
maintenance,  insurance,  and  certain  other  operating  expenses of the leased
assets.  Leased  property  recorded  under capital  leases and the related lease
payment commitments are not material.

8   COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

   The daily average common shares  outstanding  used in computing  earnings per
share were  15,181,152 in 1995,  15,148,400 in 1994,  and 15,060,873 in 1993. On
March 23, 1993, the board of directors declared a 2-for-1 stock split, which was
distributed  April  30,  1993.   Accordingly,   the  average  number  of  shares
outstanding and per share amounts for net income,  dividends declared,  and book
value have been restated for all periods presented to give effect to the split.

   At  December  31,  1995,   886,263  shares  were  reserved  for  use  in  the
Corporation's  dividend  reinvestment  plan. At its December 1994 board meeting,
the Board of Directors of Jefferson  Bankshares,  Inc.  amended and restated the
Deferred  Compensation  and Stock  Purchase Plan for  Non-Employee  Directors to
provide  participants  the option of  investing in  Jefferson  Bankshares,  Inc.
common stock.  The Corporation has reserved 106,043 shares of common stock as of
December 31, 1995 for this  purpose.  During 1995,  43,957 shares were issued at
prices  of  $21.125-$23.25  per  share  and held in a trust  until  they  become
exercisable.  The shares are exercisable at the time the director is no longer a
member of the board.

9 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

   The Corporation has a non-contributory, trusteed defined benefit pension plan
covering  salaried  employees and some hourly employees  meeting certain age and
service  requirements.  Benefits  are based upon years of  service  and  average
compensation  for the  five  highest  paid  years  during  the  last 10 years of
service, integrated with the Social Security tax base. Contributions are made to
the plan, up to the amount  deductible  for Federal  income tax purposes,  based
upon  the  amount  actuarially  determined  to be  necessary  for  meeting  plan
obligations.  Contributions  are  intended  to  provide  not only  for  benefits
attributed  to service to date,  but also for benefits  expected to be earned in
the future.  Plan assets consist  principally of marketable stocks and corporate
and U.S. government debt obligations.

   In the fourth  quarter of 1995,  the  Corporation  recognized  a gain of $1.9
million included in other  non-interest  income related to the  annuitization of
certain  pension  liabilities  valued at $8.7 million.  The following table sets
forth the plan's  funded  status and  amounts  recognized  in the  Corporation's
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31:

   The assumed discount rate was 7.75% and 7.25% and the expected rate of return
was 9.00% and 9.25% for 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The assumed discount rate
and  expected  rate of return were 8.0% and 9.0%,  respectively,  for 1993.  The
weighted average rate of increase in future compensation was assumed to be 4.00%
in 1995 and 5.25% in 1993 and 1994.

   The  Corporation  has a defined  contribution  profit-sharing  plan  covering
salaried  employees and some hourly employees.  Subject to certain  limitations,
the  Corporation  contributes to the plan 5.25% of its  consolidated  net income
before taxes, adjusted as provided by the plan.

   The Corporation  also has an incentive stock plan under which awards of units
consisting of hypothetical shares of the Corporation's  common stock may be made
to senior officers and key employees. The plan became effective May 1, 1985, and
the final awards were granted on May 31, 1994. The  Corporation  awarded 264,246
units under this plan of which 128,086 units had vested as of December 31, 1995.
The remaining units will vest over the next four years. In 1995, the Corporation
issued  27,820  shares of common  stock  under this plan.  The cost of the plan,
based upon the market value of the  Corporation's  common stock times the number
of units awarded,  is accrued as salaries and employee benefits expense over the
various vesting periods.

   The costs  (benefits)  of these  major  employee  benefit  plans  included in
salaries and employee benefits expense are summarized as follows:

   In December 1994, the Corporation  adopted the 1995 Long-Term Incentive Stock
Plan  (the 1995  Plan).  On  January  3, 1995 the  Corporation  awarded  118,500
incentive stock options under the 1995 Plan at $19.9375 per share.  The options,
which were awarded at the then market price,  are  exercisable  over a five year
period  beginning  January 1996. The Corporation has reserved 750,000 shares for
the 1995 Plan.

   Effective  November 1, 1994,  the  Corporation  established an employee stock
purchase plan covering up to 250,000 shares of common stock.  As of December 31,
1995, the Corporation has reserved 238,327 shares of common stock for this plan.
The plan is available to all salaried  employees.  Participating  employees  may
contribute through periodic payroll deductions, up to 25% of their compensation.

10  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES,
    OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS, AND OTHER MATTERS

   The Corporation is a party to  financial  instruments  which  properly  are
not  reflected  in the consolidated financial statements.  These include
commitments  to extend credit and letters of credit. These   instruments
involve   elements  of  credit  and  interest  rate  risk. Nonperformance  or
default  by the other  party to loan  commitments  or standby letters of credit
could result in a financial loss to the  Corporation  equal to the amount of the
loan  commitments  and  standby  letters  of credit.  The same credit and
collateral  policies are used by the  Corporation  in issuing  these financial
instruments as are used for on-balance sheet instruments.

   Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer under a set
of specified terms and conditions.  Commitments  generally have fixed expiration
dates or termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
commitments  are expected  to  expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total
commitment amounts do not necessarily  represent future cash requirements.  Loan
commitments  may be secured or  unsecured.  In the case of secured  commitments,
collateral varies but may include commercial or residential properties; business
assets such as inventory,  equipment,  or accounts  receivable;  securities;  or
other  business  or  personal  assets  or  guarantees.  At  December  31,  1995,
commitments to extend credit totaled $249,845,000.

   Standby  letters  of  credit are  conditional   commitments  issued  by  the
Corporation or its  subsidiaries to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party.  The terms and risk of loss involved in issuing  standby letters of
credit are similar to those involved in issuing loan  commitments  and extending
credit. At December 31, 1995,  commitments  outstanding under standby letters of
credit approximated $24,535,000.

   The  investment   securities   portfolio  includes  U.S.  Treasury and  U.S.
Government  agency  securities which may, on occasions,  be loaned to securities
dealers  designated  as "Primary  Government  Dealers"  by the Federal  Reserve
System. Such loans of securities are secured by U.S. Treasury securities,  U.S.
Government agency securities,  or cash with a market value exceeding 102% of the
market value of securities lent. The loaned investment securities continue to be
reported in the consolidated  financial statements, and the loan transaction is
not reflected therein.  In the event loans are secured by cash, the pledged cash
is reported as an asset in the Corporation's consolidated  balance sheet and an
offsetting  liability is reported as short-term  borrowings.  All such loans are
callable in one business day. Such transactions may involve credit and interest
rate risk. At December 31, 1995, securities loaned totaled $6,341,000.

   Various  litigation is pending against the Corporation and its  subsidiaries.
After  reviewing  these  suits  with counsel,  management  believes  that their
ultimate  resolution  will not materially  affect  the  consolidated  financial
statements.

   As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Corporation's  subsidiary bank
is required to maintain certain average reserve  balances.  For the final weekly
reporting period in the years ended  December 31, 1995 and 1994,  the aggregate
amounts of daily average required  balances were  approximately  $49,969,000 and
$47,407,000, respectively.

  The bank originates  mortgage loans that are sold in the secondary market. In
connection  with  such  activities,  the  Corporation maintains  fidelity  bond
insurance in the amount of  $15,000,000  and errors and  omissions  insurance of
$2,500,000, which are in excess of required amounts.

11  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   In accordance with the FASB's Statement No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value
of Financial  Instruments,  the following  methods and assumptions  were used to
estimate the fair value of each class of financial  instruments  for which it is
practicable to estimate that value.

A    CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
   The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

B    MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS
   For short-term  instruments,  the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of
fair value.  For  instruments  that mature in over 90 days,  such as  fixed-rate
certificates  of deposit,  the fair value is estimated  based on the  discounted
cash flow of contractual  cash flows using interest rates currently  offered for
deposits of similar maturities.

C    INVESTMENT SECURITIES
   Fair values of  investment  securities  are based on quoted  market prices or
dealer  quotes.  In the absence of quoted market prices or dealer  quotes,  fair
value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar  securities,  adjusted
for differences between the quoted securities and the securities being valued.

D    LOANS
   Fair values are  estimated  for  portfolios  of loans with similar  financial
characteristics.  Loans  are  segregated  by loan  type  (such as  construction,
mortgage,  commercial,  financial and agricultural, and consumer), interest rate
terms (such as fixed or  adjustable),  and  estimated  credit risk.  For certain
loans,  such as some residential  mortgage loans,  fair value is estimated using
the quoted market prices for securities  backed by similar  loans,  adjusted for
differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other types of performing
loans is estimated by  discounting  the future cash flows  through the estimated
maturities  using the  current  rates at which  similar  loans  would be made to
borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The
estimate of maturity is based on historical experience, with repayments for each
loan  classification  modified,  as  required,  by an  estimate of the effect of
current   economic   and  lending   conditions.   Fair  value  for   significant
non-performing loans is based on recent external  appraisals.  If appraisals are
not available,  estimated cash flows are  discounted  using a rate  commensurate
with the risk  associated with the estimated cash flows.  Assumptions  regarding
credit risk, cash flows,  and discount rates are  judgmentally  determined using
available market information and specific borrower information.

E    DEPOSITS
   The fair  value  of  demand  deposits,  interest-checking  accounts,  regular
savings  accounts,  and money market  deposit  accounts is the amount payable on
demand at the reporting  date. The fair value of fixed maturity  certificates of
deposit and certain other deposits is estimated based on the discounted value of
the  contractual  cash flows  using the  interest  rates  currently  offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities.

F    SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
   The carrying  values of federal  funds  purchased and  securities  sold under
agreements  to  repurchase  and  other  short-term   borrowings  are  reasonable
estimates of fair value.

G    LONG-TERM DEBT
   Interest rates on long-term debt are variable and, consequently, the carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

H    OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
   The fair value of  commitments  to extend credit is estimated  using the fees
currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining
terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties.
For  fixed-rate  loan  commitments,  fair value also  considers  the  difference
between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

   The fair  value of  stand-by  letters  of credit  is based on fees  currently
charged for similar  agreements  or on the estimated  cost to terminate  them or
otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

   The carrying amount is a reasonable  estimate of the fair value of securities
loaned.

   At  December  31,  1995,  the  carrying  amounts  and  fair  values  of  loan
commitments, stand-by letters of credit, and securities loaned were immaterial.

I    LIMITATIONS
   Fair value  estimates are made at a specific  point in time based on relevant
market information and information about the financial  instruments.  Because no
market  exists  for  a  significant  portion  of  the  Corporation's   financial
instruments,  fair  value  estimates  are based on  judgments  regarding  future
expected loss experience,  current economic conditions,  risk characteristics of
various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates do not reflect
any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the
Corporation's  entire holdings of a particular financial instrument or groups of
such  instruments.  Because these estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of discretionary  judgment,  they cannot be determined
with precision. Changes in assumptions could affect the estimates significantly.

   Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial
instruments  without  attempting  to estimate  the value of  anticipated  future
business  and the  value of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are not  considered
financial  instruments.  Other  significant  assets and liabilities that are not
considered  financial  assets or liabilities  include  deferred tax liabilities,
premises and equipment,  and goodwill. In addition, tax ramifications related to
the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect
on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

   The estimated fair values of the Corporation's  financial  instruments are as
follows:

12 PARENT COMPANY

   The  Parent  Company,  in the  ordinary  course  of  business,  provides  its
subsidiaries with certain centralized management services and staff support. The
cost of these services is allocated to each subsidiary  based on analyses of the
services rendered.  In addition,  certain subsidiaries of Jefferson  Bankshares,
Inc.  have  in the  past  borrowed  funds  from  the  Parent  Company  at  rates
approximating  the Parent Company's cost of borrowing.  In addition,  the Parent
Company guarantees certain leases for its subsidiaries.

   The primary  source of funds for the dividends  paid by the Parent Company is
dividends  received from its subsidiaries.  The payment of such dividends by the
subsidiary bank and other nonbank subsidiaries and the ability of the subsidiary
bank to loan or  advance  funds to the  Parent  Company  are  subject to certain
statutory  limitations.  On  December  31,  1995,  16  percent  of  consolidated
shareholders' equity was not so restricted.

   Condensed financial information for the Parent Company follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Certified Public Accountants
Suite 1900
1021 East Cary Street
Richmond, Virginia 23219



The Board of Directors
Jefferson Bankshares, Inc.:

We  have audited  the consolidated  balance sheets of Jefferson Bankshares, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related  consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year  period ended December 31, 1995. These  consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  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 audits to obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the  consolidated  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  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above
present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Jefferson
Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

As  discussed in  Notes 1(B) and 3  to the consolidated financial statements, in
1994,  the  Corporation  adopted  the  provisions  of the  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
