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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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  will  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 September 15, 1999,  Hudson entered into a
merger  agreement with Dime Bancorp,  Inc.. Each share of Hudson common stock is
to become  one share of the common  stock of the  successor  institution  (to be
called Dime  United  Bancorp)  and each share of Dime common  stock is to become
0.585 shares of Dime United common stock.

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 $12.3  million for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1999 as compared to $7.3 million for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1998,  a increase of  approximately  68%. The 1998 period
reflected the restatement of financial  information  for the Regent  Bancshares,
Inc.  ("Regent")  acquisition  and  expenses  related  to  that  acquisition  as
discussed in the Company's  Annual Report on form 10K for 1998.  Restatement was
required by pooling of interests accounting treatment.

     Net Interest  Income and Average  Balances.  Net interest  income was $48.8
million  for the first nine months of 1999,  compared  to $44.9  million for the
first nine months of 1998, an increase of $3.9 million or 9%. Yields on interest
earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased to 8.15% for the first nine
months of 1999 from 8.30% in the prior year period,  a difference  of .15%.  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 4.65% for the first  nine  months of 1999 from  4.92% in the prior
year  period,  a  difference  of .27%.  In addition to that  decrease in cost of
funds,  the overall  cost of funds was  reduced as a result of  disproportionate
growth in average  non-interest  bearing demand deposit  balances.  Thus the net
interest margin on the Company's  interest  earning assets increased to 4.27% in
1999 as compared to 4.11% in the comparable  prior year period,  a difference of
 .16%.

Average  balances for non-interest  bearing demand deposits  increased to $211.4
million in 1999 compared to $160.8 million in 1998, an increase of $50.6 million
or 31%.  Average  balances  for  savings,  money  market and  interest  checking
decreased to $467.1 million in 1999 compared to $467.9 million in the comparable
1998 period, a decrease of $800,000.
In the first six months of 1999,  average  interest  earning assets totaled $1.6
billion,  an increase  of $119  million or 8% over the 1998  comparable  period.
Reflected  in that net  increase  was a $227  million or 21% increase in average
loans to $1.3 billion.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income for the first nine months of 1999
was $11.5  million  compared to $10.8 million for the first nine months of 1998,
an increase of $700,000 or 6%.  Service  fees on deposit  accounts  increased to
$3.2  million for the first nine months of 1999,  an increase of $593,000 or 23%
over the  comparable  prior year  period.  The  increase  reflected  attempts to
collect  service  charges from  existing  customers  which  previously  had been
waived.  Gain on sales of  securities  increased  to $712,000 for the first nine
months of 1999, an increase of $143,000 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.  Non-interest  expense totaled $40.0 million for the
first nine months of 1999 compared to $40.9 million for the first nine months of
1998 a decrease of $900,000 or 2%.  Salaries and employee  benefits  amounted to
$18.8 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to $18.3 million for the
first nine months of 1998,  an increase  of  $482,000  or 3%.  Reflected  in the
increase were $298,000 and $290,000,  respectively  attributable to expansion of
the consumer and commercial  loan  departments,  and $222,000  resulting from an
increase  related to the  internal  computer  network  and  information  systems
department.   The  1999  also  reflects   savings   resulting  from  the  Regent
acquisition.

     Depreciation expense increased to $2.2 million for the first nine months of
1999,  an  increase  of $353,000 or 19% 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 $1.1 million in 1999, an increase of
$170,000  or 18% over the  prior  year.  The  increase  reflected  increases  in
transaction volume and additional support for the check imaging system.

     Legal  expense  decreased  to $955,000 for the first nine months of 1999, a
decrease of $678,000 or 42% from the prior year.  Legal expense in 1998 included
approximately  $500,000  incurred  by Regent  including  legal fees  relating to
litigation to resolve various loans.

     Amortization of intangibles increased to $992,000 for the first nine months
of 1999,  an  increase of  $261,000  or 36% from the prior  year.  The  increase
reflected anticipated prepayments on the mortgage servicing portfolio.

     Credit  card  origination   expense  and  credit  card  processing  expense
decreased  in 1999 as  compared  to  prior  periods.  Such  decreases  reflected
significantly reduced credit card origination efforts.

     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.

     Other expense decreased to $6.4 million in 1999, a decrease of $1.7 million
or 21% from the prior year. The principal  factors reflected in the decrease are
the impact of the restatement  resulting from the Regent  acquisition as well as
expenses related to that acquisition as discussed in Form 10K for 1998.

     Income  Taxes.  The  effective tax rate of 21% for the first nine months of
1999  reflected  the tax  exempt  status  of one half of the  interest  on $99.2
million  of ESOP loans and of  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  $172.7  million for the first nine months of
1999 as compared to net  increases  of $190.5  million for the  comparable  1998
period.  Cash outflows  required for mortgage loans originated for sale amounted
to $143.8  million for the first nine months of 1999 compared to $137.6  million
for the first nine  months of 1998.  The  comprehensive  loss for the first nine
months of 1999 resulted from  increases in market  interest rates which resulted
in  decreases  in the market  value of  investment  securities.  The majority of
$149.8  million of 1998  securities  sales resulted from the then current Regent
management's  efforts  to  restructure   substantially  all  of  its  securities
portfolio.  Rationales  fot 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 September 30, 1999.

Loan Portfolio.
     The following  table  summarizes  the loan portfolio of the Company by loan
category  and  amount at  September  30,  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 September 30, 1999.
Large loans as a percentage of total loans at that date were 18%.

                                                                 Book Value

Non-Performing  Loans. The following table presents the principal amounts of non
accrual  and  renegotiated  loans (1) at  September  30,  1999 in  addition to a
schedule  presenting loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest
or principal  still  accruing  interest.  At September 30, 1999 the ratio of the
allowance for credit losses to total loans  amounted to 0.79%.  On an annualized
basis, the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was .60% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999.

     Non-accrual  loans(1)  decreased  to $9.9  million at  September  30,  1999
compared  to  $12.4  million  at  December  31,  1998.  The  decrease  reflected
approximately  $2.3  million of  additions,  $1.6 million of  charge-offs,  $2.0
million of payments,  $920,000 of transfers to other real estate and $315,000 of
returns to accrual status.

     Other real estate  owned  amounted to $1.2  million at  September  30, 1999
compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 1998. Activity in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 reflected $1.6 million of additions, sales and other receipts
of $3.4 million and $97,000 of charge-offs.

     Interest on Non-Accrual Loans(1). If interest on non-accrual loans had been
accrued, such income would have been $585,000 and $700,000, respectively for the
first nine months of 1999 and 1998.

     Provision for Credit Losses.  The provision for credit losses for the first
nine months of 1999 was $4.6 million  compared to $4.7 million in the first nine
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  in
accordance with the Company's standard policies.

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 information 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 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.
