respectively,  at September  30, 1997 and 1996.  The allowance for credit losses
associated  with impaired loans was $2,254,000 and $3,738,000  respectively,  at
those dates. Total cash collected on impaired loans during the first nine months
of 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  was $2,651,000 and $912,000,  all of which was
credited to the principal  balance  outstanding  on such loans.  Interest  which
would have been accrued on impaired  loans during those  respective  periods was
$713,000 and $866,000.  No related  interest  income was  recognized  during the
period.

Note 3:
     The  unaudited   interim   financial   statements   furnished  reflect  all
adjustments  which  are,  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature, except as discussed in these notes.

Note 4:
     Primary  earnings  per common share are  calculated  by dividing net income
applicable to common stock by the weighted  average  number of common shares and
stock  option  common  share  equivalents  outstanding  during the  period.  The
retroactive  effect  of stock  dividends  and the  restatement  required  by the
pooling of interests  accounting  method  utilized for the acquisition of United
Valley Bank ("UVB") in January 1997 are also considered.
     The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS") No. 128,  Earnings Per Share  ("EPS"),
which is effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997. Once
effective, the new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted EPS and instead
requires  presentation  of  basic  and  diluted  EPS  in  conjunction  with  the
disclosure of the  methodology  used in computing  such EPS.  Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common  shareholders by
the  weighted-average  common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS
takes into  consideration the potential  dilution that could occur if securities
or other  contracts to issue  common stock were  exercised  and  converted  into
common stock.  The effect of adopting this new standard has not been determined;
however, it is not expected to be material.

Note 5:
     On January 21, 1997,  the Company  acquired  through  merger  United Valley
Bancorp,  Inc.  ("UVBHC") the holding company for UVB.  Thereafter,  the Company
merged UVB into its subsidiary  Jefferson Bank ("Jefferson PA"). Under the terms
of the merger,  each share of UVBHC  common stock was  converted  into .339 of a
share of the Company's common stock, resulting in the issuance of 749,278 shares
of the Company's  common stock.  In addition,  outstanding  warrants to purchase
UVBHC's common stock were converted into warrants to purchase  255,381 shares of
the Company's common stock,  with an exercise price of $11.80 per share. UVB was
a Pennsylvania  chartered banking  institution  engaged in commercial and retail
banking  with one  principal  office in  Philadelphia.  UVB had total  assets of
$121.1 million at the time of  acquisition.  The  acquisition  was accounted for
under the pooling of  interests  method of  accounting.  Accordingly,  all prior
period information has been restated to reflect UVB historical performance.  The
income  statement for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflected a total
of $178,000 of merger related expenses,  primarily legal,  accounting and filing
fees.

Note 6:
     On February 5, 1997, the Company issued $25.3 million  principal  amount of
9.25% junior  subordinated  deferrable  interest debentures due March 31, 2027 (
the  "debentures")  to JBI Capital Trust I (the  "Trust"),  a Delaware  business
trust,  in which the Company owns all of the common  equity.  The debentures are
the  sole  asset of the  Trust.  The  trust  issued  $25  million  of  preferred
securities to investors.  The Company's  obligations  under the  debentures  and
related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee
by the  Company  of the  Trust's  obligations  under the  preferred  securities.
Although  the  subordinated  debentures  will be treated as debt of the Company,
they currently qualify for tier 1 capital  treatment.  The preferred  securities
are callable by the Company on or after March 31, 2002,  or earlier in the event
the  deduction  of related  interest  for federal  income  taxes is  prohibited,
treatment  as  tier  1  capital  is  no  longer   permitted  or  certain   other
contingencies  arise. The preferred securities must be redeemed upon maturity of
the debentures in 2027. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Note 7:
     On April 1, 1997, the Company declared a 5% common stock dividend,  payable
May 13,  1997.  That  dividend is  reflected  in the  financial  statements  and
earnings per share computations for all periods.

Note 8:
     In June, 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income",  which  is  effective  for  years
beginning  after  December  15,  1997.  This  new  standard   requires  entities
presenting  a  complete  set of  financial  statements  to  include  details  of
comprehensive  income.  Comprehensive  income consists of net income or loss for
the  current  period and  income,  expenses,  gains,  and losses that bypass the
income  statement and are reported  directly in a separate  component of equity.
The effect of adoption is not expected to be material.

Note 9:
     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of
an  Enterprise  and Related  Information",  which is  effective  for all periods
beginning  after  December  15, 1997 . SFAS 131  requires  that public  business
enterprises report certain information about operating segments in complete sets
of financial  statements of the enterprise and in condensed financial statements
of interim periods issued to shareholders. It also requires that public business
enterprises  report certain  information about their products and services,  the
geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. The effect of
adoption is not expected to be material.

Note 10:  
Certain  captions in the financial  statements  presented for prior periods have
been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The  matters  discussed  in this form 10Q that are  forward  looking  statements
relate to future events or the future  financial  performance of the company and
are  based  on  current   management   expectations   that  involve   risks  and
uncertainties.  Such  statements  are only  predictions  and  actual  events  or
performance may differ  materially  from the events or performance  expressed in
any such forward looking statements.

Results of Operations

Net income.  Net income for  JeffBanks,  Inc. ("the  Company")  amounted to $8.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $7.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of approximately 21%.

Net Interest Income and Average Balances.  Net interest income was $36.4 million
for the first nine months of 1997,  compared to $34.3 million for the first nine
months of 1996,  an increase of $2.0 million or 6%.  Yields on interest  earning
assets  increased  to 8.57% for the first nine  months of 1997 from 8.44% in the
prior  year  period,  a  difference  of .13 %.  The  cost  of  interest  bearing
liabilities  increased  to 4.77% for the first nine months of 1997 from 4.61% in
the prior year  period,  a  difference  of .16%.  Accordingly,  the net interest
margin on JBI's interest  earning assets  decreased to 4.54% in 1997 as compared
to 4.59% in the comparable prior year period, a difference of .05%. The increase
in the cost of interest bearing liabilities and the decrease in the net interest
margin  reflected  the full period effect in 1997 of the issuance of $23 million
of 8.75%  subordinated notes on March 25, 1996 and the issuance of $25.3 million
of 9.25% preferred securities on February 5, 1997.
     Average  balances for  non-interest  bearing demand  deposits  increased to
$132.0  million in 1997  compared to $123.4  million in 1996, an increase of 7%.
Average  balances  for savings and money  market  deposits  increased  to $323.8
million in 1997 compared to $310.7  million in the  comparable  1996 period,  an
increase of $13.1 million or 4%.
     In the first nine months of 1997,  average  interest earning assets totaled
$1.1  billion,  an  increase  of $91.5  million  or 9% over the 1996  comparable
period.  Reflected in that net  increase  was a $68.4  million or 9% increase in
average loans to $854.2 million.
     Savings and money market deposits at September 30, 1997 reflect $54 million
in short term money market  deposits from a  corporation  at which a director of
the Company is an  officer.  Interest  on the  deposits is paid at money  market
rates.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income for the first nine months of 1997
was $6.8 million  compared to $5.4 million for the first nine months of 1996, an
increase of $1.5  million or 27%.  Gain on sales of  residential  mortgages  and
capitalized mortgage servicing rights increased to $669,000 in 1997, an increase
of $359,000 or 116% over 1996.  The  increase in 1997  reflected  an increase in
residential mortgage loan originations. Gain on sales of securities increased to
$330,000 for the first nine months of 1997,  an increase of $181,000  over 1996.
The increased gains reflected the gains on sales of shorter maturity  securities
which were replaced by longer term maturities at higher yields.  Merchant credit
card deposit fees  increased to $1.4 million in 1997, an increase of $326,000 or
29%. Increases reflected in this total were substantially offset by increases in
merchant credit card deposit expense and reflected  higher volume.  Other income
increased  to $1.1  million  for the first nine  months of 1997,  an increase of
$404,000 or 60% from the comparable 1996 period. The increase reflected $147,000
in service charge income for non customer usage on ATMs which were instituted in
the third quarter of 1997.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Total non-interest  expense for the first nine months of
1997, was $27.4 million, compared to $25.7 million for the comparable prior year
period,  an increase  of $1.6  million or 6%.  Salaries  and  employee  benefits
amounted  to $12.3  million in the first nine  months of 1997  compared to $12.0
million for the first nine months of 1996, an increase of $289,000 or 2%.
     Data processing  expense decreased to $617,000 for the first nine months of
1997,  a decrease  of  $330,000  or 35% from the  comparable  1996  period.  The
decrease  reflected  reductions in data  processing  fees  resulting  from a new
outsourcing contract.
     Advertising  decreased  to $750,000 for the nine months of 1997, a decrease
of $213,000 or 22% over the comparable 1996 period.  The decrease  reflected the
$125,000  impact of a one time  advertising  campaign for  personal  transaction
accounts in the first nine months of 1996.
     Loss on sale and  write-downs  of other  real  estate  owned  increased  to
$447,000  for the nine  months of 1997,  an  increase  of  $411,000,  over 1996.
Approximately $229,000 of the increase resulted from a loss on a single property
and $87,000 resulted from a loss on the sale of another property acquired in the
1995 Constitution Bank acquisition.
     Credit card  origination  expense  increased to $386,000 for the first nine
months of 1997,  an  increase  of  $240,000,  or 164% over  1996.  The  increase
reflected  origination  costs incurred in connection  with the Bank's efforts to
expand its retail credit card portfolio.
     Credit card  processing  expense  increased  to $370,000 for the first nine
months  of 1997,  an  increase  of  $181,000,  or 96% over  1996.  The  increase
reflected  significant  increases  in the  outstanding  number  of  credit  card
accounts, and related increases in transaction volume.
   Merger  expenses  related to the  acquisition  of UVB amounted to $178,000 in
1997. The merger expenses  reflected $55,000 in legal fees,  $20,000 in external
accounting fees,  $22,000 in printing costs,  $23,000 in regulatory  filing fees
and $58,000 from the write-off of leasehold improvements at vacated locations.
     A decrease in the effective income tax rate to 32% in the nine months ended
September  30,  1997  compared  to 36%  in the  comparable  prior  year  period,
reflected the impact of increased purchases of tax exempt municipal bonds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The major sources of funding for the Company's
investing   activities  have  historically  been  cash  inflows  resulting  from
increases in deposits.  Such increases have been utilized  primarily to fund net
increases  in  loans.  FHLB  advances  have also been  utilized,  when  relative
interest  costs  were  less than  those  for  deposits.  Funds  not  needed  for
operations are invested primarily in daily federal funds sold and securities.
     Net  increases in loans of $40.5  million for the first nine months of 1997
compared to $32.4  million  for the 1996  period.  Cash  outflows  required  for
mortgage loans  originated for sale amounted to $32.5 million for the first nine
months of 1997  compared to $16.9  million for the first nine months of 1996. At
September 30, 1997 the Company and its subsidiaries  exceeded "well capitalized"
ratios as determined by the appropriate  regulatory  authorities.  The following
table sets forth the regulatory capital ratios of the Company,  Jefferson PA and
Jefferson Bank of New Jersey (Jefferson NJ) at that date.

Non-accrual loans(1) decreased to $9.5 million at September 30, 1997 compared to
$11.3 million at December 31, 1996. The decrease reflects approximately $262,000
of  transfers to other real estate  owned,  $2.8  million of  charge-offs,  $4.0
million of additions,  $2.7 million of payments and $91,000 of loans returned to
accrual status.

     Other real estate  owned  amounted to $2.9  million at  September  30, 1997
compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 1996. Activity in the nine months ended
September  30, 1997  reflects  $2.0  million of  additions  with sales and other
receipts of $1.9 million, and charge-offs and other write downs of $664,000.

     Interest on Non-Accrual Loans(1). If interest on non-accrual loans had been
accrued, such income would have been $713,000 and $866,000, respectively for the
first nine months of 1997 and 1996.

     Provision for Credit Losses.  The provision for credit losses for the first
nine months of 1997 was $2.6 million  compared to $2.5 million in the first nine
months of 1996.
