     The  balances  of  impaired   loans  were   $10,469,000   and   $11,250,000
respectively,  at June 30,  1999 and  1998.  The  allowance  for  credit  losses
associated  with impaired loans was $2,735,000 and $1,867,000  respectively,  at
those dates.  Total cash collected on impaired loans during the first six months
of 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  was $1,561,000 and $1,575,000 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
$409,000 and $440,000.  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:
     Certain  amounts in the  financial  statements  presented for prior periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Note 5:
     Subsequent to SFAS No. 133, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which amended the
effective  date of SFAS No. 133 to be all fiscal  quarters  of all fiscal  years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Based on the Company's minimal use of derivatives
at the current time, management does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 133
to have a  significant  impact on the  earnings  or  financial  position  of the
Company.  However, the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 will depend on the nature
and purpose of the derivative instruments in use by the Company at that time.

Note 6:
     On June 29, 1999,  the Company  announced that it had entered into a merger
agreement with Hudson United Bancorp. ("Hudson"),  pursuant to which it would be
acquired by that  institution.  Consummation  of the merger is conditional  upon
required  regulatory  and  shareholder  approvals.  Under  terms of the  pending
merger,  each share of the Company's common stock would be converted into .95 of
a share of Hudson's common stock.

     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 was a mortgage  company which  operates
within the  Company's  southern  New Jersey  market  with  seven  mortgage  loan
originators.

     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,  which would  result in the  issuance of up to 184,830
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.  These  statements  can be  identified  by the use of
forward-looking   terminology   including  "may,"  "believe,"  will,"  "expect,"
"anticipate,"  "estimate,"  "continue," or similar words . These  statements are
only predictions and actual events or performance may differ materially from the
events or performance expressed in any of these forward-looking  statements. The
Company   undertakes  no  obligations   to  publicly   revise  or  update  these
forward-looking  statements to reflect events or circumstances  that arise after
the date of this report.

Results of Operations

Net  income.  Net income for the Company  amounted  to $8.1  million for the six
months  ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended
June 30,  1998,  an  increase  of  approximately  125%.  The  principal  factors
reflected in the increase are  discussed in form 10k for 1998 and  reflected the
restatement of financial information for the Regent acquisition. Restatement was
required by pooling of interests accounting treatment.

Net Interest Income and Average Balances.  Net interest income was $31.4 million
for the first six months of 1999,  compared  to $29.1  million for the first six
months of 1998,  an increase of $2.3 million or 8%.  Yields on interest  earning
assets, on a tax equivalent  basis,  decreased to 8.13% for the first six months
of 1999 from 8.34% in the prior year period, a difference of .21 %. 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
4.64% for the first six months of 1999 from 4.91% in the prior  year  period,  a
difference of .27%. The net interest  margin on the Company's  interest  earning
assets  increased to 4.24% in 1999 as compared to 4.13% in the comparable  prior
year period,  a difference  of .11%.  That increase  reflected  disproportionate
growth in average non-interest earning demand deposits.
     Average  balances for  non-interest  bearing demand  deposits  increased to
$201.4  million in 1999 compared to $156.8 million in 1998, an increase of $44.6
million or 28%. Average balances for savings, money market and interest checking
increased to $452.4 million in 1999 compared to $442.5 million in the comparable
1998 period, an increase of $9.9 million or 2%.
     In the first six months of 1999,  average  interest  earning assets totaled
$1.600  billion,  an  increase of $145  million or 10% over the 1998  comparable
period.  Reflected in that net increase was a $239.1  million or 23% increase in
average loans to $1.278 billion. The increase reflects the full period effect of
loans  totaling  $99.2 million made to an employee  stock  ownership plan in the
second and third  quarters of 1998.  The loans were made to reduce the Company's
exposure to lower interest rate environments.

Non-Interest  Income. Total non-interest income for the first six months of 1999
was $8.1 million  compared to $7.4 million for the first six months of 1998,  an
increase of $700,000 or 9%. Service fees on deposit  accounts  increased to $2.1
million  for the first six months of 1999,  an  increase  of  $365,000  over the
comparable prior year period. The increase reflected attempts to collect service
charges from existing customers which had been previously waived.  Gain on sales
of  securities  increased  to  $712,000  for the  first six  months of 1999,  an
increase of $406,000 over 1998. The majority of the sales in 1999 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 six months of
1999 was $26.2 million,  compared to $27.6 million for the comparable prior year
period,  a  decrease  of $1.4  million or 5%.  Salaries  and  employee  benefits
amounted  to $12.4  million  in the first six months of 1999  compared  to $12.7
million  for the first six months of 1998,  a decrease  of  $300,000  or 2%. The
decrease   between  the  periods   reflected the  savings   resulting  from  the
consolidation of Regent.

     Depreciation  expense increased to $1.4 million for the first six months of
1999,  an  increase  of $179,000 or 14% 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
backroom operations.

     Data  processing  expense  increased  to $694,000  in 1999,  an increase of
$92,000  or 15% over  the  prior  year.  The  increase  reflected  increases  in
transaction volume and additional support for the check imaging system.

     Legal  expense  decreased  to $519,000  for the first six months of 1999, a
decrease of $602,000 or 54% from the prior year. Legal expense in 1998 reflected
approximately  $500,000  incurred  by Regent  including  legal fees  relating to
litigation to resolve various loans.

     Advertising expense decreased to $571,000 for the first six months of 1999,
a decrease of $212,000  or 27% 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.

     Amortization of intangibles  increased to $659,000 for the first six months
of 1999,  an  increase of  $226,000  or 34% from the prior  year.  The  increase
reflected anticipated prepayments on the mortgage servicing portfolio.

     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 21% for the first six 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 $127.7 million for the first six months of 1999
as compared to net increases of $133.7 million for the  comparable  1998 period.
Cash outflows required for mortgage loans originated for sale amounted to $107.1
million  for the first six months of 1999  compared  to $102.9  million  for the
first six months of 1998. The decrease in comprehensive income for the first six
months of 1999 resulted from  increases in market  interest rates which resulted
in  decreases  in the market  value of  investment  securities.  The majority of
$146.9  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
June 30, 1999.

     Non-accrual  loans(1)  decreased to $10.5 million at June 30, 1999 compared
to $12.4 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease reflected approximately $1.2
million of  additions,  $529,000  of  charge-offs,  $1.6  million  of  payments,
$875,000 of  transfers  to other real estate and  $123,000 of returns to accrual
status.

     Other real estate owned  amounted to $2.3 million at June 30, 1999 compared
to $3.1 million at December 31, 1998.  Activity in the six months ended June 30,
1999  reflected  $1.0  million of  additions,  sales and other  receipts of $1.7
million and $79,000 of charge-offs.

     Interest on Non-Accrual Loans(1). If interest on non-accrual loans had been
accrued, such income would have been $409,000 and $440,000, respectively for the
first six months of 1999 and 1998.

     Provision for Credit Losses.  The provision for credit losses for the first
six months of 1999 was $3.0  million  compared to $3.5  million in the first six
months of 1998. The 1998 provision reflected a $1.5 million increase relating to
the Regent loan  portfolio  to increase the reserve to levels  determined  by an
analysis applying estimated loss ratios to the various loan categories.

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 believes that Fiserv is on schedule, based upon infromation from
that  company.  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.  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.
