     The  balances  of  impaired   loans  were   $10,872,000   and   $10,109,000
respectively,  at June 30,  1998 and  1997.  The  allowance  for  credit  losses
associated  with impaired loans was $1,793,000 and $2,333,000  respectively,  at
those dates.  Total cash collected on impaired loans during the first six months
of 1998 and 1997, respectively,  was $1,575,000 and $1,390,000, 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
$440,000 and $549,000.  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:
     The Company  adopted the  provisions  of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standard ("SFAS") No. 128,  Earnings Per Share ("EPS") which 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.

Note 5:
     Certain  captions in the financial  statements  presented for prior periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Note 6:
     The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") has issued
Statement of Position  ("SOP") No. 98-1,  "Accounting  for the Costs of Computer
Software  Developed  or Obtained for Internal  Use," which  provides  accounting
guidance  on  capitalization  of costs  associated  with  software  specifically
developed  or obtained  for  internal  use.  This  statement  is  effective  for
Financial  Statements  issued after December 15, 1998. The effect of adoption is
not expected to be material.

Note 7:
     Gain on sales of mortgage  servicing rights of $625,000 reflected the sales
of servicing on loans originated prior to 1996 after which the capitalization of
servicing  rights was  required.  The sales were made as a result of  prepayment
concerns,  an  analysis  of market  conditions  and the impact of the  servicing
portfolio to be acquired in the pending acquisition of a mortgage company.

Note 8:
     In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 133,  "Accounting  for
Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging   Activity."  SFAS  No.  133  establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts,  and for hedging activities.
It  requires  that an entity  recognize  all  derivatives  as  either  assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  If certain  conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated  as a hedge.  The  accounting  for  changes  in the  fair  value of a
derivative  (gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and
resulting  designation.  SFAS No. 133 is  effective  for all fiscal  quarters of
fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 1999.  Earlier  application is permitted
only as of the  beginning  of any  fiscal  quarter.  The  Company  is  currently
reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

Note 9: 
     On July 14, 1998 the Company  declared a 5 for 3 stock split  effected as a
dividend  of two shares of common  stock for three  shares  held.  That split is
reflected in the financial  statements and earnings per share  computations  for
all periods.

Note 10: 
     On July 31,  1998,  the Company  completed a merger with Regent  Bancshares
Corp.  ("Regent")  and  Regent  National  Bank  accounted  for as a  pooling  of
interests.  Under terms of the merger, each share of common stock was as of that
date  converted to .505 shares of the Company's  common stock,  resulting in the
issuance of 1,721,960  shares of the Company's common stock, as adjusted for the
stock split decribed in Note 9. Each option to acquire Regent common stock would
be converted  into an option to acquire .505 of a share of the Company's  common
stock, resulting in the issuance of up to 184,830 shares of the Company's common
stock if all outstanding Regent options are converted. On a pro forma basis, for
the six months  ended June 30,  1998  revenue,  net income and basic and diluted
earnings per share would have been $65.8  million,  $4.1 million,  $.40 and $.37
compared to $57.9 million,  $5.3 million, $.57 and $.54 for the six months ended
June  30,  1997,  respectively.  The  unaudited  pro  forma  combined  financial
information  does not give effect to anticipated cost savings in connection with
the merger,  and does not purport to be  indicative  of the  combined  financial
position  or  results of  operations  for future  periods or  indicative  of the
results that  actually  would have been  realized had the entities been a single
entity during these periods.

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 JeffBanks,  Inc.
(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 the Company  amounted  to $6.8  million for the six
months  ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, an increase of approximately 20%.

Net Interest Income and Average Balances.  Net interest income was $26.1 million
for the first six months of 1998,  compared  to $23.8  million for the first six
months of 1997,  an increase of $2.3 million or 9%.  Yields on interest  earning
assets  decreased  to 8.42% for the first six  months of 1998 from  8.48% in the
prior  year  period,  a  difference  of .06 %.  The  cost  of  interest  bearing
liabilities  increased  to 4.75% for the first six  months of 1998 from 4.72% in
the prior year  period,  a  difference  of .03%.  Accordingly,  the net interest
margin on the Company's  interest  earning assets  decreased to 4.39% in 1998 as
compared to 4.52% in the comparable prior year period, a difference of .13%.
     Average  balances for  non-interest  bearing demand  deposits  increased to
$147.5  million in 1998 compared to $132.8 million in 1997, an increase of $14.7
million or 11%. Average balances for savings, money market and interest checking
increased to $409.4 million in 1998 compared to $310.2 million in the comparable
1997 period, an increase of $99.2 million or 32%. Of the increase, approximately
$60  million  reflected  increases  in short term  money  market  deposits  from
entities at which a director  of the  Company is an  officer.  Savings and money
market  deposits at June 30, 1998  reflected  $107.6  million of such  deposits.
Interest on the deposits is paid at money market rates.
     In the first six months of 1998,  average  interest  earning assets totaled
$1.231  billion,  an increase of $153.8 million or 14% over the 1997  comparable
period.  Reflected in that net increase was an $88.0  million or 10% increase in
average  loans to $934.0  million.  In June of 1998,  the  Company  made a $49.6
million  loan to an  employee  stock  ownership  plan.  The  loan  represents  a
refinancing and is  grandfathered  as to partial tax exempt status under current
tax laws; thus, 50% of the interest thereon is tax exempt.
     
Non-Interest  Income. Total non-interest income for the first six months of 1998
was $6.1 million  compared to $4.2 million for the first six months of 1997,  an
increase of $1.9 million or 44%. Gain on sales of mortgage  servicing  rights of
$625,000  reflected  the sales of  servicing on loans  originated  prior to 1996
after which the capitalization of servicing rights was required.  The sales were
made as a result of prepayment  concerns,  an analysis of market  conditions and
the impact of the servicing  portfolio to be acquired in the pending acquisition
of a mortgage  company.  Gain on sales of residential  mortgages and capitalized
mortgage servicing rights increased to $805,000 in 1998, an increase of $462,000
or 135% over 1997.  The increase in 1998  reflected  an increase in  residential
mortgage loan  originations.  Gain on sales of securities  increased to $324,000
for the first six  months of 1998,  an  increase  of  $177,000  over  1997.  The
majority of the sales were made for asset liability  management  purposes,  as a
result of the  disproportionately  large securities  portfolio to be acquired in
the merger with Regent and Regent National Bank (which was completed  subsequent
to June 30, 1998).  Other income  increased to $986,000 for the first six months
of 1998,  an increase of $352,000 or 56% from the  comparable  1997 period.  The
increase  reflected an increase of $253,000 in service  charges for non customer
usage of ATMs over 1997.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Total  non-interest  expense for the first six months of
1998, was $20.3 million, compared to $17.9 million for the comparable prior year
period,  an increase of $2.4  million or 13%.  Salaries  and  employee  benefits
amounted  to $9.4  million  in the first six  months  of 1998  compared  to $8.1
million for the first six months of 1997,  an  increase of $1.4  million or 17%.
The increase  reflected  increases of approximately  $260,000 resulting from new
branches,  approximately  $230,000  in consumer  related  loan  departments  and
$220,000 in the commercial loan department.
     Depreciation  expense increased to $1.0 million for the first six months of
1998,  an  increase  of $176,000 or 20% from the  comparable  1997  period.  The
increase  reflected the implementation of approximately $1.6 million of hardware
and software for a branch automation and sales tracking system.
     Advertising expense increased to $689,000 for the first six months of 1998,
an increase of $203,000 or 42% over the prior year.  Expenditures were increased
to promote  various bank services and locations to reach  customers who might be
displaced as a result of in-market bank mergers, and other strategies.
     Amortization of intangibles  decreased to $483,000 for the first six months
of 1998,  a  decrease  of  $147,000  or 23% from the prior  year.  The  decrease
resulted  primarily from the year end 1997 reduction in the valuation  allowance
for deferred tax assets  acquired as a result of the acquisition of Constitution
Bank.  That  reduction  increased  related  realizable  deferred  tax assets and
decreased goodwill, and corresponding goodwill amortization.
     Credit card  origination  expense  increased  to $425,000 for the first six
months  of 1998,  an  increase  of  $171,000,  or 67% over  1997.  The  increase
reflected origination costs incurred in connection with the Company's efforts to
expand its retail credit card portfolio.
     Credit card  processing  expense  increased  to $425,000  for the first six
months  of 1998,  an  increase  of  $189,000,  or 80% over  1997.  The  increase
reflected  significant  increases  in the  outstanding  number  of  credit  card
accounts, and related increases in transaction volume.

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 as an  alternative
funding source,  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 were $116.7 million for the first six months of 1998
as compared to net  increases of $32.3 million for the  comparable  1997 period.
Cash outflows  required for mortgage loans originated for sale amounted to $58.3
million for the first six months of 1998 compared to $18.2 million for the first
six months of 1997. At June 30, 1998 the Company's  subsidiaries  exceeded "well
capitalized" ratios as determined by the appropriate regulatory authorities. The
following table sets forth the regulatory  capital ratios of the Company and its
wholly-owned banking  subsidiaries,  Jefferson Bank (Jefferson PA) and Jefferson
Bank of New Jersey (Jefferson NJ) at that date.

     Other real estate owned  amounted to $2.0 million at June 30, 1998 compared
to $2.2 million at December 31, 1997.  Activity in the six months ended June 30,
1998  reflected  $1.0  million of  additions  with sales and other  receipts  of
$948,000, and charge-offs and other write downs of $332,000.

     Interest on Non-Accrual Loans(1). If interest on non-accrual loans had been
accrued, such income would have been $440,000 and $549,000, respectively for the
first six months of 1998 and 1997.
