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: 
     On March 19, 1998, the Company  announced that it had entered into a merger
agreement  with  Regent  Bancshares  Corp.(Regent),  pursuant  to which it would
acquire  that  institution.  Comsummation  of the  merger  is  conditional  upon
required  regulatory and shareholder  approvals.  Under the terms of the pending
merger,  each share of Regent  common  stock would be  converted  into .303 of a
share of the  Comapny's  common  stock,  resulting  in the issuance of 1,033,176
shares of the Company's common stock. Each option to acquire Regent common stock
would be converted  into an option to acquire  .303 of a share of the  Company's
common stock, resulting in the issuance of up to 110,898 shares of the Company's
common stock if all outstanding Regent options are converted.

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 $3.3  million for the three
months  ended March 31, 1998 as  compared to $2.7  million for the three  months
ended March 31, 1997, an increase of approximately 24%.

Net Interest Income and Average Balances.  Net interest income was $13.0 million
for the first  three  months of 1998,  compared  to $11.8  million for the first
three  months of 1997,  an increase of $1.2  million or 10%.  Yields on interest
earning assets  increased to 8.43% for the first three months of 1998 from 8.39%
in the prior year period,  a difference  of .04 %. The cost of interest  bearing
liabilities  increased to 4.75% for the first three months of 1998 from 4.65% in
the prior year  period,  a  difference  of .10%.  Accordingly,  the net interest
margin on JBI's interest  earning assets  decreased to 4.40% in 1998 as compared
to 4.50% in the comparable prior year period, a difference of .10%. The increase
in the cost of interest bearing liabilities and the decrease in the net interest
margin reflected the full period effect in 1998 of 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
$144.5  million in 1998 compared to $134.3 million in 1997, an increase of $10.2
million or 8%. Average balances for savings,  money market and interest checking
increased to $378.8 million in 1998 compared to $307.2 million in the comparable
1997 period, an increase of $71.6 million or 23%.
     In the first three months of 1998,  average interest earning assets totaled
$1.215  billion,  an increase of $145.6 million or 14% over the 1997  comparable
period.  Reflected in that net  increase  was a $77.9  million or 9% increase in
average loans to $911.7 million.
     Savings and money market  deposits at March 31, 1998 reflect $12 million in
short  term money  market  deposits  from an entity 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 three months of
1998 was $2.7  million  compared to $2.0  million for the first three  months of
1997, an increase of $683,000 or 34%. Gain on sales of residential mortgages and
capitalized mortgage servicing rights increased to $333,000 in 1998, an increase
of $181,000 or 119% over 1997.  The  increase in 1998  reflected  an increase in
residential mortgage loan originations. Gain on sales of securities increased to
$243,000 for the first three months of 1998,  an increase of $243,000 over 1997.
The sales were made for asset liability management purposes,  as a result of the
disproportionately  large  securities  portfolio  to be  acquired in the pending
Regent merger.  Other income increased to $428,000 for the first three months of
1998,  an  increase  of $163,000 or 62% from the  comparable  1997  period.  The
increase  reflected $130,000 in service charges for non customer usage of ATM's.
The service charges were instituted in the third quarter of 1997.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Total non-interest expense for the first three months of
1998, was $9.8 million,  compared to $8.9 million for the comparable  prior year
period,  an increase of $915,000 or 10%. Salaries and employee benefits amounted
to $4.5 million in the first three  months of 1998  compared to $4.0 million for
the first three  months of 1997,  an increase of $532,000 or 13%.  The  increase
reflected  $112,000  resulting  from new branches and  $111,000  resulting  from
expansion in consumer related loan departments.
     Legal  expense  decreased to $207,000 for the first three months of 1998, a
decrease of $105,000 or 34% from the  comparable  1997  period.  The 1997 period
reflected  $55,000 in legal fees  resulting  from the United  Valley Bank merger
that did not recur in the first quarter of 1998.
     Amortization  of  intangibles  decreased  to  $241,000  for the first three
months of 1998,  a decrease of $82,000 or 25% 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 merger of Constitution Bank.
That reduction  increased related  realizable  deferred tax assets and decreased
goodwill, and corresponding goodwill amortization.
     Credit card origination  expense  increased to $201,000 for the first three
months of 1998, an increase of $90,000, or 81% 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 $197,000 for the first three
months of 1998, an increase of $69,000, or 54% 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 of $5.6 million for the first three months of 1998
compared to $12.6  million  for the 1997  period.  Cash  outflows  required  for
mortgage loans originated for sale amounted to $23.5 million for the first three
months of 1998  compared to $7.6 million for the first three months of 1997.  At
March 31, 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

Non-accrual  loans(1)  increased to $10.8  million at March 31, 1998 compared to
$9.4 million at December 31, 1997.  The increase  reflected  approximately  $2.1
million of additions, $535,000 of charge-offs and $109,000 of payments.

     Other real estate owned amounted to $2.9 million at March 31, 1998 compared
to $2.2 million at December  31, 1997.  Activity in the three months ended March
31,  1998  reflected $811,000  of  additions  with sales and other  receipts  of
$90,000, and charge-offs and other write downs of $24,000.

     Interest on Non-Accrual Loans(1). If interest on non-accrual loans had been
accrued, such income would have been $232,000 and $273,000, respectively for the
first three months of 1998 and 1997.

     Provision for Credit Losses.  The provision for credit losses for the first
three months of 1998 was $966,000 compared to $825,000 in the first three months
of 1997.
