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

Note 5:
     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 6:
     On July 31,  1998,  the Company  completed a merger with Regent  Bancshares
Corp.  and  Regent  National  Bank  ("Regent")  accounted  for as a  pooling  of
interests, which accordingly required restatement of financial statements. 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.  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.

Note 7:
     On August 14, 1998, the Company  completed a merger with Pioneer  Mortgage,
Inc.  ("Pioneer")  accounted  for as a pooling of interests,  which  accordingly
required  restatement  of  financial  statements.  The changes  reflecting  such
restatement  were not material.  Pioneer is a mortgage  company  which  operates
within the  Company's  southern  New Jersey  market  with  seven  mortgage  loan
originators.

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 $3.9  million for the three
months  ended March 31, 1999 as  compared to $3.2  million for the three  months
ended March 31, 1998, an increase of approximately 22%.

Net Interest Income and Average Balances.  Net interest income was $30.3 million
for the first  three  months of 1999,  compared  to $29.5  million for the first
three months of 1998, an increase of $800,000 or 3%. Yields on interest  earning
assets, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased to 8.09% for the first three months
of 1999 from 8.35% in the prior year period, a difference of .26 %. The decrease
reflected  lower loan and  investment  yields,  as a result of the impact of the
 .75%  reduction  in the prime rate  during the fourth  quarter of 1998 and other
decreases in market rates. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to
4.68% for the first three months of 1999 from 4.89% in the prior year period,  a
difference  of .21%.  Notwithstanding  that the  decrease  in yields on interest
earning assets exceeded the decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities
the net interest margin on the Company's  interest  earning assets  increased to
4.18% in 1999 as  compared  to 4.15% in the  comparable  prior  year  period,  a
difference of .03%. That increase reflected  disproportionate  growth in average
non-interest earning demand deposits.
  Average balances for non-interest  bearing demand deposits increased to $193.2
million in 1999 compared to $154.2 million in 1998, an increase of $39.0 million
or 25%.  Average  balances  for  savings,  money  market and  interest  checking
increased to $446.9 million in 1999 compared to $414.7 million in the comparable
1998 period, an increase of $32.2 million or 8%.
  In the first three months of 1999,  average  interest  earning  assets totaled
$1.556  billion,  an  increase  of $122  million or 9% over the 1998  comparable
period.  Reflected in that net increase was a $230.8  million or 23% increase in
average loans to $1.241 billion.

Non-Interest  Income.  Total  non-interest  income for the first three months of
1999 was $4.1  million  compared to $3.3  million for the first three  months of
1998, an increase of $800,000 or 24%.  Gain on sales of securities  increased to
$712,000 for the first three months of 1999,  an increase of $469,000 over 1998.
The majority of the sales were  municipal  securities  which were  replaced with
securities  with longer term  protection  against  being called for  redemption.
Increases  in  merchant  credit card fees were  offset by  increases  in related
merchant card expense shown under non-interest expense.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Total non-interest expense for the first three months of
1999 was $12.8 million,  compared to $12.0 million for the comparable prior year
period,  an increase of $800,000 or 7%. Salaries and employee  benefits amounted
to $6.2 million in the first three  months of 1999  compared to $5.9 million for
the first three  months of 1998,  an  increase  of $300,000 or 5%. The  increase
reflected  increases of approximately  $189,000 resulting from the establishment
or full period operation of new branches,  $101,000  resulting from expansion of
the consumer loan  department and $100,000  attributable to the expansion of the
internal computer network and information  systems  department.  Other increases
included  merit  increases  which  averaged  3% to 4.5%.  Increases  between the
periods were significantly offset by savings resulting from the consolidation of
Regent.
     Depreciation  expense  increased  to $665,000 for the first three months of
1999,  an  increase  of  $88,000 or 15% from the  comparable  1998  period.  The
increase reflected the implementation of a new check imaging system to eliminate
the mailing of cancelled  checks to customers  and  increase the  efficiency  of
proof operations.
     Data  processing  expense  increased  to $386,000  in 1999,  an increase of
$101,000  or 35% over the  prior  year.  The  increase  reflected  increases  in
transaction volume and additional support for the check imaging system.
     Advertising  expense  decreased  to $242,000  for the first three months of
1999,  a decrease of $124,000 or 34% from the prior year.  Expenditures  in 1998
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 to pursue
other strategies. Expenditures were reduced after the mergers were completed.
     Merchant  card  expense   increases  in  1999  as  compared  to  1998  were
significantly  offset by increases in related  merchant credit card deposit fees
shown  under  non-interest  income,  as a result of  relatively  modest  margins
between fee income and expense,  characteristic of that industry.  However,  the
Company derives additional benefit from related deposit balances.
     Income  Taxes.  The effective tax rate of 20% for the first three months of
1999  reflected  the tax  exempt  status  of one half of the  interest  on $99.2
million  of ESOP  loans  and  substantially  all of the  interest  on state  and
municipal obligations.

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 $35.6  million for the first three  months of
1999 as compared to net  increases  of $11.1  million  for the  comparable  1998
period.  Cash outflows  required for mortgage loans originated for sale amounted
to $62.1  million for the first three months of 1999  compared to $46.7  million
for the first  three  months of 1998.  The  majority  of $140.9  million of 1998
securities sales resulted from the then current Regent  management's  efforts to
restructure  substantially all of its securities  portfolio.  Rationales for the
restructuring  reflected  regulatory input and  requirements.  After the Company
acquired  Regent,  the  regulatory  rationale  was  largely  eliminated,  as was
additional  securities  restructuring.  The  Company and its  subsidiaries  have
maintained  their  status  as "well  capitalized"  under  applicable  regulatory
guidelines.  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 March 31, 1999.

Loan Portfolio. 
     The following  table  summarizes  the loan portfolio of the Company by loan
category and amount at March 31, 1999 and corresponds to appropriate  regulatory
definitions.  Loans  with a  principal  amount in excess of 2% of the  Company's
equity  capital are generally  considered to be large loans.  By this  standard,
large loans were those exceeding $2.7 million at March 31, 1999.  Large loans as
a percentage of total loans at that date were 18%.

     Non-accrual  loans(1) decreased to $11.4 million at March 31, 1999 compared
to $12.4  million at December 31, 1998.  The  decrease  reflected  approximately
$685,000 of additions,  $431,000 of charge-offs,  $686,000 of payments, $437,000
of transfers to other real estate and $123,000 of returns to accrual status.

     Other real estate owned amounted to $2.7 million at March 31, 1999 compared
to $3.1 million at December  31, 1998.  Activity in the three months ended March
31,  1999  reflected  $438,000  of  additions  and sales and other  receipts  of
$830,000.

     Interest on Non-Accrual Loans(1). If interest on non-accrual loans had been
accrued, such income would have been $226,000 and $232,000, respectively for the
first three months of 1999 and 1998.

     Provision for Credit Losses.  The provision for credit losses for the first
three  months of 1999 was $1.5  million  compared to $966,000 in the first three
months of 1998. The increase in the provision reflects increases in the the size
of the portfolio,  and additional  amounts  required to be added to the reserve,
based on the  Company's  quarterly  evaluation  of the adequacy of the loan loss
reserve.

     Year 2000.  As a control over the potential  disruption  which might result
from year 2000  ("Y2K")  computer  malfunctions  or  failure of  computer  chips
utilized in  equipment,  management  is in process of  rectifying  non-compliant
software and hardware systems  throughout the  institution.  The bank's loan and
deposit  applications are serviced by Fiserv, a publicly held corporation  which
specializes in providing  data  processing  services to financial  institutions.
Management is monitoring that company's execution of its plan to bring remaining
applications into compliance.  Fiserv's  compliance is further under review by a
third party firm and is scheduled  for  additional  examinations  through  1999.
Management does not expect that the costs of bringing the Company's systems into
Y2K compliance  will have a material  adverse effect on the Company's  financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity.

     The Company  has been  actively  involved  in Y2K  issues.  The Company has
assessed its state of readiness by evaluating its information  technology ("IT")
and non-IT systems.  The IT systems consist of data processing services owned by
service providers,  an administrative  network,  various networked computers and
equipment.  Service  providers  have  developed a project  time line to meet all
deadlines  as  prescribed  by the FDIC.  They  have  provided  updates  on their
progress in meeting  those goals which  document  that they are meeting the FDIC
guidelines.  The administrative network is in the process of being fully tested.
All non-compliant equipment and software has been updated or replaced to achieve
Y2K compliance.  The Company has made the following  determinations in regard to
Y2K  issues  relating  to third  parties.  The  Federal  Reserve  Bank and other
regulatory agencies,  both federal and state, all purport to be in compliance or
on schedule with Y2K issues.  Vendors are substantially fungible and alternative
sources for any with Y2K problems can be utilized.  For  depositors  the Company
has provided public forums to discuss Y2K issues,  however, the Company does not
anticipate  any  significant  Y2K issues with its deposit  base.  With regard to
borrowers,  each loan made since June 1, 1998 has been  evaluated  as to its Y2K
issues.  Loan officers are in the process of determining any special  exposures.
Based upon its knowledge of its portfolio,  no significant special exposures are
known. The Company's  allowance for credit losses will reflect any potential Y2K
related  losses.  The Company  replaced  hardware  and  software  through  prior
expenditures  and did not accelerate any  replacement  periods.  All labor costs
were incurred using existing  staff.  Outside  vendors are being utilized during
the testing  phase of the  Company's  plan,  which is  currently  scheduled  for
completion  by June 30,  1999.  Incremental  costs  for  1999 are not  currently
anticipated to exceed $200,000.

     The Company  anticipates that the most likely worst case scenario will be a
combination of several borrowers  experiencing short term Y2K cash flow problems
and a  pre-Y2K  increase  in cash  demand by  customers.  The  Company  does not
consider  a  failure  of its  computer  system  as  likely  because  of  pre-Y2K
preparation.  The other  failure  commonly  discussed  is a failure of the power
grid. Based upon communications  with its power companies,  the Company does not
consider that likely. If the Company has borrowers that experience Y2K cash flow
problems,  they will be dealt with in the same  routine  manner by which  normal
cash flow interruptions  experienced by borrowers are addressed. Any increase in
cash demand will be funded by the Company's normal currency ordering procedures.
