  Basis of Presentation
  ---------------------
  
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dimeco,
  Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary The Dime Bank (the
  "Bank").  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
  been eliminated in the consolidation.
  
  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
  prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and,
  therefore, do not necessarily include all information that would be
  included in audited financial statements.  The information furnished
  reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
  necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations.  All such
  adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations
  for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
  to be expected for the full year.
  
  Certain comparative amounts for 1995 have been reclassified to conform
  to 1996 classifications.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL        
                         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
                                  Financial Condition
                                  -------------------
                                       
  Total assets at September 30, 1996 increased $9,963,000 or 8.0% over the
  $124,808,000 reported at December 31, 1995.   Cash and cash equivalents
  decreased $2,521,000 or 27.6% due to decreases in federal funds sold. 
  With an adjustment in interest rates during the second quarter and
  continuing in to the third quarter, the company  decided to invest in
  relatively short term bonds to boost interest income while maintaining
  opportunities to reinvest if interest rates begin to increase in the
  near term.  Although we do not anticipate any dramatic increase in
  interest rates in the near future, the positioning in shorter term bonds
  provides a more  favorable interest rate spread than federal funds sold. 
  In light of these purchases, total investment securities increased
  $6,292,000 or 30.4% since December 31, 1995. 
  
  The loan portfolio increased $5,933,000 or 6.6% since December 31, 1995. 
  This growth was primarily experienced in three segments of the
  portfolio.  The largest gain  of $2,235,000 or 17.9% was in consumer
  loans.  This growth is attributed to a special promotion in February
  to assist area residents who incurred snow and/or flooding damages
  during the winter and to a promotion in the Fall months which was geared
  toward the financing of automobile purchases. Residential first lien
  mortgages showed a gain of $1,526,000 or 4.5%.  This increase is the
  result of an improving real estate market, somewhat more aggressive
  interest rate pricing and continued participation in local real estate
  and builders organizations.  Commercial loans increased $1,409,000 or
  11.4%.  This growth was a result of increased business development
  efforts through the Honesdale, Hawley and Damascus offices.   
  
  Deposits increased $11,100,000 or 10.1% since December 31, 1995.  The
  greatest growth  was $6,177,000 or 42.4% in statement savings accounts. 
  Management believes this increase is due to the competitive rates
  offered in comparison to other interest-bearing accounts generally
  available to business customers in particular.  At the same time
  noninterest-bearing deposits increased  $1,921,000 or 15.6%, which
  management attributes to increases in both  business and individual
  customers.  Securities sold under agreement to repurchase have been
  eliminated since December 31, 1995 with the maturity of this account in
  June 1996.  These liabilities were used to offer competitive rates to
  certain larger customers without the guarantee of the FDIC and therefore
  without the added expense of deposit insurance premiums.  Since  deposit
  premiums have greatly decreased, the need for this type of account has
  been nullified at this time.
  
  Equity capital increased  $1,083,000 or 9.2% during the nine months
  ended September 30, 1996. As detailed in the Consolidated Statement of
  Changes in Stockholders' Equity, this growth is primarily the result of
  net earnings for the period of $1,222,000.   The dividend reinvestment 
  plan contributed an additional $222,000 during the period with the stock
  purchase option not available to stockholders  after the first quarter
  of 1996.  Dividends of $302,000 along with a $60,000 adjustment in the
  unrealized loss on securities available for sale accounted for the
  remaining change in Stockholders' Equity.
  
  Management monitors risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios in
  order to assess compliance with regulatory guidelines.  At September 30,
  1996 the bank had total risk-based capital of 14.9%, exceeding the 8.0%
  minimum risk-based capital requirement.  Core equity capital, which must
  be at least fifty percent of the total risk-based capital, was 13.7% of
  this requirement.  Additionally, the Company must maintain a minimum
  leverage capital ratio of 3%, as of September 30, 1996 the Company's
  leverage capital ratio was 9.5%.

                              Results of Operation
                              --------------------
  
  Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  
  The Company earned $1,222,000 for 1996, an increase of $74,000 or 6.5%
  from the $1,148,000 reported for 1995.  
  
  Net margin increased $362,000 or 9.2% from 1995 to 1996.  The primary
  source of this increase is the result of volume increases of $9,478,000
  in average interest-earning assets from 1995 to 1996.  At the same time,
  average interest rates on the portfolios decreased from 8.05% in 1995 to
  8.01% in 1996.   The cost of funds decreased from 3.83% in 1995 to 3.77%
  in 1996 with the average volume of deposits increasing $11,880,000 or
  11.3% from 1995 to 1996. Net interest spread increased slightly from
  4.22% in 1995 to 4.24% in 1996. 
  
  Interest income related to federal funds sold and securities purchased
  under agreements to resell increased $191,000 or 153.1% from 1995 to
  1996 based upon an increase in the average investment in these
  short-term assets in 1996.  The average for 1996 was $7,864,000 compared
  to $2,820,000 in 1995 accompanied by a decrease in the interest rate
  received on this type of investment of 5.4% for 1996 compared to 5.9% in
  1995.
  
  The provision for loan losses increased $172,000 or 71.8% in 1996 from
  1995 due to the increased size of the loan portfolio and to management's
  continuing evaluation of credit risk in the portfolio. The level of the
  allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans decreased during
  the period to 1.30% in 1996 compared to 1.42% in 1995.  Our analysis of
  the allowance for loan loss reveals that this ratio is adequate at the
  present time.  Improved asset quality and more conservative underwriting
  guidelines account for the decrease in percentage for our analysis of
  the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
  
  The gain on sale of investment securities is attributable to two sales. 
  In the second quarter of 1996, a municipal bond which had been in
  nonaccrual status and had been adjusted to a lower market value was
  refunded and sold realizing a gain of $52,000.  In addition, a
  group of mortgage-backed securities which had been paid down to a value
  below our policy limits was sold realizing a gain of $7,000.

  Salaries and employee benefits increased $138,000 or 10.6% in 1996 as
  compared to 1995.  The largest part of this increase is due to increased
  payroll expense.  Salary expense increased $114,000 or 11.5% which is
  due to a combination of normal salary increases of approximately
  4.0%, increased staffing due to the opening of the Damascus office in
  August 1995 and the gearing up of staff for the opening of the Greentown
  office on October 1, 1996 and overtime associated with training and
  installation of  Jack Henry Silverlake software in May 1996. 
  Employee benefit expenses increased in proportion to the increased
  staffing and normal salary increases.
  
  Occupancy  expense increased $42,000 or 25.4% with the establishment of
  the Damascus office in the third quarter of 1995 accounting for the
  largest increase.  Slight increases are attributable to expenses
  associated with the October 1, 1996 opening of the Greentown office. 
  Expenses of this office will affect occupancy expense in the fourth
  quarter to a greater extent.  
  
  Furniture and equipment expense increased $27,000 or 17.4% from 1995 to
  1996.  Additional expenses associated with the installation of new
  computer equipment associated with the conversion to Jack Henry
  Silverlake software and furniture and equipment in the Damascus
  office  are responsible for this increase.
  
  Deposit insurance premiums decreased $106,000 due to the full
  recapitalization of the Bank Insurance Fund in the second quarter of
  1995.  
  
  Other operating expense increased $60,000 or 7.6% from 1995 to 1996.  A
  variety of changes in individual expense categories accounts for this
  increase.  In 1996 the Company outsourced its' Internal Audit function
  accounting for $22,000 of unmatched expenses in this category in 1995. 
  Advertising expenses increased $10,000 or 14.3% associated with our
  entrance into new market areas and extra promotions for our 90th
  anniversary celebration.  Postage fees rose $9,000 or 15.6% due to the
  10.3% increase in postage rates and the increased number of customer
  accounts.  Computer software amortization increased $13,000 or 57.3%
  with the purchase of $135,000 in new operating software in 1996 and
  platform automation software of $69,000 purchased in 1995 on which the
  company is beginning to see additional amortization expense.

 Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
 ------------------------------------------------------------
  
  The Company earned $448,000 for 1996, an increase of $40,000 or 9.8%
  over the $407,000 reported for 1995.    Net interest margin increased
  $73,000 or 5.3% over the same quarter in 1995.
  
  The provision for loan loss increased $69,000 or 100.0%, based on the
  increased size of the loan portfolio and management's analysis of
  acceptable ratios in the allowance.
      
  Market rates increased on the loans held for sale portfolio during the
  third quarter of 1996 versus a decrease in the third quarter of 1995
  resulting in an increase of $46,000 in 1996 as compared to the same
  quarter in 1995. 
  
  Salaries and employee benefits decreased slightly in spite of annual
  salary increases and additional expenses associated with of new
  employees for our Greentown office.  Expenses associated with the
  inception of the officers' salary continuation plan in 1995 were not as
  great in 1996 and employee incentive accruals were lower than in 1995
  due to increased performance standards to trigger incentives in 1996.
  
  Deposit insurance premiums decreased in 1996 from 1995 as discussed
  above in the nine month section.
  
  Other operating expense decreased $20,000 or 6.9% during 1996.
  Promotional and advertising expenses were $9,000 greater during this
  quarter of 1995 as compared to 1996 with additional advertising for the
  opening of the  Damascus office in 1995.  Advertising expenses
  associated with the opening of the Greentown office in 1996 will be
  included in the fourth quarter results.  Stationery and office supply
  expenses were $11,000 less in 1996 than in 1995 due to timing
  differences in ordering larger cost supplies.  Legal expenses were
  $5,000 less in 1996 than in 1995 mainly due to decreased costs of
  foreclosure expenses.  Internal audit fees were outsourced in 1996
  compared to an on staff Internal Auditor in 1995 accounting for
  $7,000 of increased expenses in this category.   All other items
  mentioned in the nine month discussion above had a similar effect on the
  second quarter analysis.

                                Liquidity and Cash Flows
                                ------------------------
   
  
  To ensure that the Company can satisfy customer credit needs for current
  and future commitments and deposit withdrawal requirements, the Bank
  manages the liquidity position by ensuring that there are adequate
  short-term funding sources available for those needs.   Liquid assets 
  consists of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-bearing 
  deposits with other banks and investment securities maturing in one year or
  less.  The following table shows these liquidity sources, minus short-term 
  borrowings, as of September 30, 1996 compared to December 31, 1995:

  Management monitors liquidity on a consistent basis and feels that
  liquidity levels are adequate.  In addition to these liquidity sources,
  the Bank has available also a credit line with the Federal Home Loan
  Bank in excess of $3 million.
  
  Management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties
  that will have or is reasonably likely to have a material effect on the
  Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations nor is management
  aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities, which if
  implemented, would have such an effect.

                                 --------------
  
  The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets
  including nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, loans 90 days or more
  past due, nonaccrual securities, other real estate loans and repossessed
  assets at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  A loan is
  classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are
  doubts about collectibility of interest and principal.  At the time the
  accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only
  when cash is received.  Renegotiated loans are those loans which terms
  have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal
  or interest as a result of the deterioration of the borrower.

  Management believes the level of the allowance for loan losses at
  September 30, 1996 is sufficient.  The relationship between the
  allowance for loan losses and outstanding loans is a function of the
  credit quality and known risk attributed to the loan portfolio.  The
  on-going loan review program and credit approval process is used to
  determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Included in
  total loans are loans of $1,128,000 which management has classified as
  impaired under the terms of  Financial Accounting  Standards Board
  Statement No. 114,  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment  of a Loan
  Income Recognition and Disclosure."  The related allowance for loan
  losses on these loans amounted to $174,000.  There were no impaired
  loans without a related allowance for  loan losses.  The average balance
  of impaired loans for the period amounted to $1,130,000.
  
  Management does not believe that loans classified as loss, doubtful
  substandard or special mention for internal or regulatory purposes (i)
  represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management
  reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results,
  liquidity, or capital resources, or (ii) represent material loans about
  which management is aware of any information which causes management to
  have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with
  the loan repayment terms.
