7.  ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by 
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114") which was amended in 
October 1994 by SFAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan 
- - Income Recognition and Disclosure" which are effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1994.  These Statements apply to all loans 
except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are 
collectively evaluated for impairment, or loans otherwise carried at fair 
value or the lower of cost or fair value.  SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 
specifically exclude leases and debt securities from their valuation 
standards. These Statements require that all loans that are impaired be 
measured and valued based on (1) the present value of expected future cash 
flows discounted at the loan's effective rate of interest, (2) the loan's 
observable market price, or (3) the fair value of supporting collateral if 
the loan is collateral dependent. The Company adopted these standards during 
the quarter ended March 31, 1995, with no impact on the Company's financial 
position or results of operations. Loans classified as impaired totalled 
$6.8 million at September 30, 1995 with a valuation allowance within the 
allowance for loan losses of $913,000 at that date.  Management believes 
that the valuation allowance for impaired loans at September 30, 1995 is 
adequate. 



Item 2:

                  DIME FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Dime Financial Corporation of Wallingford, Connecticut (the "Company"), 
organized in 1988, is the parent company of one wholly-owned subsidiary, The 
Dime Savings Bank of Wallingford ("Dime").  Consolidated assets as of 
September 30, 1995 were $632.6 million.

On February 3, 1993, the Board of Directors of Dime approved, and Dime 
thereupon signed, a Consent Agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation ("FDIC") and the Connecticut Banking Commissioner (the 
"Commissioner"), wherein Dime agreed to the issuance of a Cease and Desist 
Order (the "Order") by the FDIC pursuant to the provisions of applicable 
federal banking law.  The Order was subsequently issued and became effective 
on February 22, 1993.

On January 31, 1995 the FDIC and the Commissioner took action to remove the 
Order.  At the request of the regulatory authorities, the Board of Directors 
of Dime adopted resolutions committing Dime to continue certain actions 
designed to maintain and improve the financial and operating condition of 
the institution. Among these is a resolution that continues the requirement 
that Dime maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio at or in excess of 6% and 
provide advance notice to the FDIC and the Banking Commissioner of any 
action of the Board to declare or pay dividends.  

The Company began a restructuring program in the second quarter of 1995 
which reduced the Company's workforce by approximately 24%. Additional 
restructuring plans have been authorized by the Board of Directors to take 
effect in the fourth quarter with regard to the outsourcing of the Bank's 
data processing operations and other staff reductions.  Approximately 10 
positions, or 5% of the total workforce, are affected.  This additional 
restructuring is expected to result in a fourth quarter charge to earnings 
of approximately $800,000 from the combination of severance charges and the 
writedown to estimated salvage value of fixed assets associated with data 
processing.  These charges are expected to be substantially offset by 
recognition in the fourth quarter of a deferred tax benefit as a result of 
improved earnings projections for realization of the Company's deferred tax 
asset. 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

In the third quarter of 1995, the Company reported net income of $2.1 
million or $0.42 per share compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.21 
per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  The third quarter 
results were affected primarily by an addition to the allowance for loan 
losses of $1.4 million compared with a provision in the third quarter of 
1994 of $1.0 million. In addition, the third quarter of 1995 was positively 
influenced by the receipt of a refund of $282,000 representing previously 
paid FDIC deposit insurance premiums, a net gain of $256,000 from the 
operation of OREO, and a reduction in other operating expenses. The 
provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totalled $6.7 million 
compared with a provision for the same period of 1994 of $2.4 million. The 
increase in the loan loss provision for 1995 is due to the higher level of 
non-performing loans and the change to a new methodology adopted in the 
first quarter of 1995 regarding the increased risk on 1-4 family residential 
loans.  Historical charge-off experience and ongoing reviews during 1995 of 
specific concentrations within that portfolio indicated that collateral 
values have declined substantially on many loans since their original 
funding date.

The Company's earnings primarily depend upon the difference between the 
interest and dividend income earned on loans and investments and the 
interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed money ("net interest 
income"). The difference between the average interest rate earned on loans 
and investments and the average interest rate paid on deposits and 
borrowings ("net spread") is affected by economic factors influencing 
general interest rates, loan demand, the level of non-performing loans, and 
savings flows as well as the effects of competition for loans and deposits.  
Net income is also affected by gains and losses on investment securities 
transactions and other operating income such as service charges and fees 
offset by additions to the provision for loan losses, other operating 
expenses and income tax expense.

At September 30, 1995, the Company's allowance for loan losses was $13.7 
million or 127.49% of non-performing loans, 110.56% of non-performing 
assets, and 2.86% of total loans.  At December 31, 1994, the allowance for 
loan losses was $9.3 million, or 117.17% of non-performing loans, 79.91% of 
non-performing assets, and 1.83% of total loans.  At September 30, 1994, the 
allowance for loan losses was $10.4 million, or 183.75% of non-performing 
loans, 119.96% of non-performing assets, and 2.01% of total loans, excluding 
$11.4 million of loans and other real estate owned held for sale. 

At September 30, 1995, non-performing loans, totalled $10.8 million, or 
2.24% of total loans, compared with $8.0 million, or 1.56% of total loans at 
December 31, 1994, and compared with $5.7 million, or 1.10% of total loans 
at September 30, 1994, excluding $2.0 million of loans classified as held 
for sale. Other real estate owned totalled $1.6 million at September 30, 
1995, compared to $3.7 million, at December 31, 1994 and $3.0 million at 
September 30, 1994 excluding $9.4 million of other real estate owned 
classified as held for sale.  Total non-performing assets, were $12.4 
million, or 1.96% of total assets at September 30, 1995, compared with $11.7 
million or 1.83% of total assets at December 31, 1994, and compared with 
$8.7 million or 1.32% of total assets at September 30, 1994, excluding $11.4 
million of loans and other real estate classified as held for sale.  All 
assets classified as held for sale were disposed of during 1994 at prices 
consistent with management's expectations.

Total loans decreased by $30.2 million, or 5.92% from $510.4 million at 
December 31, 1994 to $480.2 million at September 30, 1995 and decreased 
$34.4 million or 6.69% from $514.6 million at September 30, 1994, excluding 
$2.0 million of loans classified as held for sale.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") advances totalled $58.0 million 
at September 30, 1995  compared with $60.0 million on December 31, 1994 and 
September 30, 1994.

Net deposits, including escrow deposits, declined  $7.2 million from $526.6 
million at December 31, 1994 to $519.4 million at September 30, 1995 and 
decreased by $19.0 million from September 30, 1994.

ASSET QUALITY

In order to maintain asset quality, areas within Dime are present to assist 
in the assessment of loan quality in addition to providing the Board and 
management with analysis to determine that the allowance for loan losses is 
sufficient given the risks inherent in the loan portfolio at a point in 
time. During the third quarter of 1995 the Company added $1.4 million to the 
allowance for loan losses compared with a provision of $1.0 million in the 
third quarter of 1994.  The increase in the provision was due to the 
increased level of non-performing loans. For the nine months ended September 
30, 1995, the Company added $6.7 million to the allowance for loan losses 
compared with $2.4 million during the first nine months of 1994.  The 
increase in the provision during 1995 was primarily due to increased non-
performing loans and the adoption of a new methodology regarding the 
increased risk on 1 - 4 family residential loans.  

Loan review, which is independent of the lending department, reviews and 
monitors Dime's loan portfolio based on loan performance, property re-
appraisal, current and prospective economic conditions, facts known about 
specific borrowers, or any other relevant factors.  This function rates 
loans and assists management in determining that the level of the allowance 
for loan losses is adequate relative to the risks inherent in the portfolio.

The net cost of operation of other real estate owned ("OREO") may include; 
gains or losses on the sale of OREO, writedowns of OREO, and expenses to 
operate and maintain OREO.  The net cost of operation of other real estate 
owned equalled a net gain of $256,000 for the third quarter of 1995 compared 
with a net cost of $469,000 for the third quarter of 1994.  The net cost of 
OREO for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 equalled a net gain of 
$432,000 compared with a net cost of $659,000 during the nine months ended 
September 30, 1994. The reduction in costs during 1995 are primarily due to 
gains realized on the sales of OREO coupled with reduced levels of OREO.

As part of the Company's independent loan review function, a process is in 
place whereby all loans are reviewed and classified into one of seven 
categories.  In addition to the disclosure on page 7 in the table entitled, 
"Non-performing Assets," management has classified loans totalling $12.0 
million at September 30, 1995 as substandard for internal purposes. At 
September 30, 1994 loans classified as substandard totalled $20.0 million. 
At December 31, 1994 loans classified as substandard totalled $22.2 million.  
These loans are still performing.  Management does not have serious doubt as 
to their collectability and believes that the amounts specifically allocated 
to these loans in the allowance for loan losses are adequate. Management had 
performing loans classified as doubtful for internal purposes at September 
30, 1995 totalling $24,000 compared with $687,000 at September 30, 1994 and 
compared with $206,000 at December 31, 1994.

Under FDIC guidelines substandard loans are inadequately protected by the 
current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral 
pledged, if any, and must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that 
jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  Doubtful loans have all the 
weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added 
characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, 
on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly 
questionable and improbable.

Management continues to closely monitor the loan portfolio and the 
foreclosed properties of its subsidiary and takes appropriate action when 
necessary.  The table entitled "Allowance For Loan Losses," on page 7, 
indicates that at September 30, 1995 the balance in the allowance for loan 
losses represented 127.49% of non-performing loans and 2.86% of total loans.  
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1995 
is adequate, based on the quality of the loan portfolio at that date.

LIQUIDITY, SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of depositors 
wanting to withdraw funds or of borrowers needing assurance that sufficient 
funds will be available to meet their credit needs.  Cash on hand, demand 
deposits at other financial institutions, interest-bearing deposits with an 
original maturity of three months or less, and Federal funds sold are the 
principal sources of liquidity.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $25.3 
million at September 30, 1995, as compared to $46.0 million at September 30, 
1994.  Cash and cash equivalents represented 4.00% of total assets at 
September 30, 1995 as compared to 7.04% of total assets at September 30, 
1994.  The Company believes that its liquidity is sufficient to meet 
currently known demands and commitments. 

The primary objective of asset/liability management is to maximize net 
interest income while assuring adequate liquidity combined with the 
maintenance of an appropriate balance between interest earning assets and 
interest bearing liabilities.  Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to 
avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of 
net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.  The Company 
regularly monitors deposit rates and loan rates offered by other financial 
institutions in its market area in an attempt to achieve a desired balance 
of deposits and loans and to minimize interest costs.

Principal sources of funds include cash receipts from deposits, loan 
principal and interest payments, earnings on investments, and proceeds from 
maturing investments.  The current principal uses of funds include 
disbursements to fund investments and loan originations, payments of 
interest on deposits, and payments to meet the operating expenses of the 
Company.  During the first nine months of 1995, deposits decreased by $7.2 
million from $526.6 million at December 31, 1994 to $519.4 million at 
September 30, 1995 compared to a decrease of $19.0 million from $538.5 
million at September 30, 1994.  The Company may rely on borrowings from the 
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") if deposits do not keep pace with 
the demand for quality loans.  At September 30, 1995, FHLBB borrowings 
totalled $58.0 million, compared with $60.0 million at December 31, 1994 and 
at September 30, 1994. The Company currently has no plans to increase the 
level of borrowings.

The Company's primary source of funds is in the form of dividends received 
from its subsidiary bank, Dime.  Therefore, the liquidity and the capital 
resources of the Company are largely dependent upon the liquidity, 
profitability, and capital position of its subsidiary, and the ability of 
the subsidiary to declare and pay dividends under applicable laws and 
regulatory authorities. As noted above, Dime has agreed not to declare or 
pay any dividends without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the 
Commissioner. In addition, the Company has agreed not to declare or pay any 
dividends without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Bank of 
Boston. The following table presents the Company's risk-based and leverage 
capital ratios:

</TABLE>

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1995 totalled $1.4 million compared with a provision of 
$1.0 million for the third quarter of 1994.  The provision for the first 
nine months of 1995 totalled $6.7 million compared with a provision of $2.4 
million for the first nine months of 1994. The increase in the loan loss 
provision for the third quarter compared with the prior year is due to the 
higher level of non-performing loans.  The increase in the loan loss 
provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared with the 
prior year resulted primarily from a new methodology adopted in the first 
quarter of 1995 regarding the increased risk on 1 - 4 family residential 
loans which comprise 77% of the total loan portfolio.  Historical charge-off 
experience and ongoing reviews during 1995 of specific concentrations within 
that portfolio indicate that collateral values have declined substantially 
on many loans since their original funding date.

Investment Securities Gains (Losses), Net.  The Company recorded $64,000 net 
investment security gains during the third quarter of 1995 and recorded net 
security gains totalling $298,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1995.  This compares to $6,000 net investment security gains during the 
third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994.

Other Operating Income.  Other operating income totalled $528,000 for the 
third quarter of 1995 compared with $509,000 in the third quarter of 1994 
and totalled $1.6 million for the first nine months of 1995 and the first 
nine months of 1994.

Other Operating Expenses.  Total operating expenses were $3.3 million for 
the third quarter of 1995 compared with total operating expenses of $4.8 
million for the third quarter of 1994. The reduction in 1995 reflects 
progress achieved under the restructuring plan as well as reduction in the 
net cost OREO primarily due to gains recognized on the sales of OREO. The 
net cost of OREO for the third quarter equalled a net gain of $256,000 
versus a net cost of $469,000 for the third quarter of 1994.  For the first 
nine months of 1995, operating expenses, exclusive of a net restructuring 
charge of $947,000 charged in the second quarter, were $12.1 million versus 
$14.9 million for the year earlier period.  For the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995, the net cost of OREO equalled a net gain of $432,000 
compared with a net cost of $659,000 for the prior year period.

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense for the third quarter of 1995 totalled 
$12,000 compared with income tax expense in the third quarter of 1994 of 
$15,000.  Income taxes for the first nine months of 1995 totalled a net 
benefit of $2.0 million as the Company recognized $2.0 million of a deferred 
tax benefit in the second quarter of 1995 as a result of improved earnings 
projections. Income tax expense recognized in the first nine months of 1994 
totalled $45,000.  For 1995 and 1994 the Company has provided only for the 
minimum state tax because of tax loss carry forwards that are available to 
taxable income.

Net Income.  The factors discussed above resulted in net income of $2.1 
million or $0.42 per share for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995 
compared with net income of $1.1 million or $0.21 per share for the third 
quarter ended September 30, 1994.  Net income totalled $3.4 million or $0.67 
per share for the first nine months of 1995 compared with net income of $3.6 
million or $0.72 per share for the first nine months of 1994.

             Dime Financial Corporation -- Third Quarter Results
 
Wallingford, Connecticut: Dime Financial Corporation ("DFC") (NASDAQ: DIBK) 
announced net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995 of $2.1 
million or $0.42 per share compared with net income of $1.1 million or $0.21 
per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. Net income for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1995 totalled $3.4 million or $0.67 per share 
versus $3.6 million or $0.72 per share for the year earlier period. 
 
As reported previously, the Company began a restructuring program in the 
second quarter which reduced the Company's workforce by approximately 24%. 
Additional restructuring plans have been authorized by the Board of Directors 
to take effect in the fourth quarter with regard to the outsourcing of the 
Bank's data processing operations and other staff reductions.  Approximately 
10 positions, or 5% of the total workforce, are affected. This additional 
restructuring is expected to result in a fourth quarter charge to earnings of 
approximately $800,000 from the combination of severance charges and the 
writedown to estimated salvage value of fixed assets associated with data 
processing. These charges are expected to be substantially offset by 
recognition in the fourth quarter of a deferred tax benefit as a result of 
improved earnings projections for realization of DFC's deferred tax asset. 
 
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 totalled $6.3 
million representing a net interest spread of 3.61% and a net interest margin 
of 4.11%. Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 
totalled $6.4 million representing a net interest rate spread of 3.99% and a 
net interest margin of 4.19%. Net interest income for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995 totalled $19.2 million representing a net interest spread 
of 3.73% and a net interest margin of 4.18%.  Net interest income for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1994 totalled $19.4 million representing a net 
interest spread of 3.97% and a net interest margin of 4.15%. The reduction in 
the net interest spread is primarily due to a reduced level of savings account 
deposits versus higher costing certificates of deposit. 
 
The provision to the allowance for loan losses totalled $1.4 million for the 
third quarter of 1995 compared with $1.0 million for the third quarter of 
1994, and totalled $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 
compared with $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. The 
increase in the loan loss provision for 1995 is due to the higher level of 
non-performing loans and the change to a new methodology adopted in the first 
quarter of 1995 regarding the increased risk on 1-4 family residential loans 
which comprise approximately 77% of the total loan portfolio. Historical 
charge-off experience and ongoing reviews during 1995 of specific 
concentrations within that portfolio indicate that collateral values have 
declined substantially on many loans since their original funding date. 
 
Non-performing loans totalled $10.8 million at September 30, 1995 compared 
with $11.3 million at June 30, 1995 and compared with $5.6 million at 
September 30, 1994, excluding $2.0 million of loans classified as held for 
sale. Other real estate owned ("OREO") totalled $1.6 million at September 30, 
1995 compared with $3.5 million at June 30, 1995 and compared with $3.0 
million at September 30, 1994, excluding $9.4 million of OREO held for sale. 
Total non-performing assets were $12.4 million or 1.96% of total assets at 
September 30, 1995, down from $14.8 million or 2.31% of total assets at June 
30, 1995 and up from $8.6 million or 1.32% of total assets at September 30, 
1994, excluding assets held for sale of $11.4 million. There were no assets 
held for sale at September 30, 1995. 
 
The allowance for loan losses totalled $13.7 million at September 30, 1995 an 
increase of $245,000 from June 30, 1995 and up $3.4 million from September 30, 
1994. The ratio of loan loss reserves to non-performing loans was 127.49% at 
September 30, 1995 compared with 119.01% at June 30, 1995 and compared with 
183.74% at September 30, 1994, exclusive of assets held for sale. 
 
Total operating expenses were $3.3 million for the third quarter versus $4.1 
million in the second quarter of 1995, net of a restructuring charge of 
$947,000, and $4.8 million for the third quarter of 1994. Total operating 
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totalled $13.0 million 
compared with $14.9 million for the same period of 1994, a reduction of $1.9 
million or 12.81%. The reduction in operating expenses in 1995 reflects 
progress achieved under the restructuring plan as well as reductions in the 
net cost of the operation of other real estate owned due to gains recognized 
on the sales of OREO. For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the net cost 
of the operation of OREO equalled a net gain of $256,000 compared with a net 
cost of $469,000 for the third quarter of 1994. For the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995, the net cost of OREO equalled a net gain of $432,000 
compared with a net cost of $659,000 for the first nine months of 1994. 
 
Total shareholders' equity was $48.7 million at September 30, 1995 compared 
with shareholders' equity of $46.5 million at June 30, 1995 and compared with 
shareholders' equity of $44.1 million at September 30, 1994. Total assets were 
$632.6 million down $6.8 million or 1.05% from June 30, 1995 and down $20.3 
million or 3.10% from September 30, 1994. The Tier 1 regulatory capital ratio 
for The Dime Savings Bank of Wallingford, the Company's subsidiary bank, was 
7.20% at September 30, 1995 compared with a Tier 1 regulatory capital ratio of 
6.83% at June 30, 1995 and compared with a Tier 1 ratio of 6.03% at 
September 30, 1994. This ratio is in excess of the regulatory minimum.
