INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Administrator of the
Derby Savings Bank Thrift Plan
Derby, Connecticut
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Derby Savings Bank Thrift Plan as of December 31, 1993
(Note 5) and June 30, 1993, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the six-month period ended December
31, 1993 and for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 1993.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by the Plan management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the
Derby Savings Bank Thrift Plan as of December 31, 1993 and June 30, 1993,
and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the six-month
period ended December 31, 1993 and for each of the two years in the period
ended June 30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment and reportable transactions as of and for the
six-month period ended December 31, 1993 are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

-----------------------------------
NOTE 1 - PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following brief description of the Derby Savings Bank Thrift Plan
(Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants
should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information. The
Plan, as amended, became effective on January 1, 1985.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
full-time employees of Derby Savings Bank (Bank) who have one-half year of
eligible service and are age eighteen or older. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Each year participants may contribute up to 10 percent of pre-tax annual
compensation, as defined in the Plan. The Bank matches contributions in an
amount equal to 50 percent of a participant's contributions, subject to
certain limitations as defined in the Plan. Additionally, the Bank can
make discretionary contributions at the option of the Bank's Board of
Directors. Effective August 31, 1993 (Note 5) all Bank contributions, both
matching and discretionary, are to be invested in DS Bancor, Inc.
(DS Bancor) common stock. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of DS
Bancor.
Participants' accounts are credited with their contributions, plus
allocated Bank contributions and Plan earnings. Bank contributions are
allocated based on the ratio that each qualifying participant's
compensation for the plan year bears to the total compensation of all
qualifying participants. Plan earnings are allocated based on a
participant's account balance in various investments and their respective
earnings. All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid and borne by
the Bank.
Participants are immediately 100 percent vested in their contributions and
in any Bank matching and discretionary contributions, plus actual earnings
thereon.

their contributions in any of the following five investment options:
1. Galaxy Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund -
Funds are invested in guaranteed investment
contracts issued by major insurance companies.
2. Galaxy Intermediate Bond Fund -
Funds are invested in investment grade debt
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government and money market instruments.
3. Galaxy Equity Value Fund -
Funds are invested in a diverse portfolio of
stocks and other securities.
4. Galaxy International Equity Fund -
Funds are invested in equity securities of

5. DS Bancor Common Stock -

Participants may change their investment options quarterly.
Participants may borrow against their account balances. Loan amounts
can be a minimum of $1,000 to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50
percent of a participant's account balance. Loan terms range to a
maximum of 10 years if loan funds are used to purchase a participant's
primary residence. Loan funds used for any other purpose have a
maximum term of 5 years. The loans are secured by a participant's
account balance and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 400 basis
points above the Bank's rate offered on certificates of deposit at the
time of the loan. Principal and interest are repaid ratably through
biweekly payroll deductions.
Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement at
age 65, participants may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to
the value of their account balance or installment payments in
accordance with the Plan. For terminations of service due to other
reasons, participants may receive the value of their account balance
as a lump sum distribution.

NOTE 5 - PLAN AMENDMENT
Effective August 31, 1993, the Bank's Board of Directors approved a plan

result, the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan
Benefits reflect balances at those dates and the Statement of Changes in
