NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by DS
Bancor, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiary Derby Savings Bank
(the "Bank") and Derby Financial Services Corp., the Bank's wholly owned
subsidiary, and reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements of Derby Financial Services Corp. are not significant
to the Bank's or the consolidated financial statements.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION.  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and the Bank and all material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION.  The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses as of the
date of the consolidated statements of financial position and the consolidated
statements of operations for the period. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in
the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and
the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures and in
satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances
for loan losses and foreclosed assets, management utilizes the services of
professional appraisers for significant properties.

A substantial portion of the Bank's loans are collateralized by real estate in
depressed markets in Connecticut. In addition, all of the foreclosed assets are
located in those same depressed markets. Accordingly, the ultimate
collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank's loan portfolio and the
recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed assets
are particularly susceptible to changes in market conditions in Connecticut.
While management uses available information to recognize possible loan losses,
future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions, particularly in the Bank's service area, Connecticut. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Bank's allowances for loan and foreclosed asset losses.
Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances
based on their judgements of information available to them at the time of their
examination.

CASH EQUIVALENTS.  Cash equivalents include demand deposits at other financial
institutions and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are sold for
one-day periods.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES, effective December 31,1993, at the time of acquisition,
are classified into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-
sale or trading. The classification is based upon management's intended holding
period and, in the case of the held-to-maturity classification, the ability to
hold the securities to maturity. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are
carried at amortized cost. Investments classified as available-for-sale are
carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in
a separate component of stockholders' equity. Trading securities are carried at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Prior to
December 31, 1993, investment securities were stated at cost, adjusted for
amortization of bond premiums and accretion of bond discounts using the interest
method. Marketable equity securities were stated at the lower of aggregate cost
or market value. The specific cost method is used to determine gains or losses
on the sales of securities.

LOANS are stated net of deferred fees.


INTEREST ON LOANS is credited to operations as earned based primarily upon the
principal amount outstanding. In determining income recognition on mortgage,
consumer and commercial loans, it is the general policy that no additional
interest revenue shall be credited to operations with respect to loans on which
a default of interest has existed for a period in excess of 90 days, at which
time previously accrued interest is reversed. On loans secured by real estate,
management may continue to accrue interest if the estimated realizable value


                                    - 5 -
<PAGE>

of the underlying collateral for such loans is sufficient to cover both
principal and accrued interest. All loan origination fees and direct loan
origination costs transacted are being deferred and amortized over the
contractual life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield.

THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES has been established through provisions for loan
losses and is a valuation allowance which is reflected as a deduction from
loans. The allowance represents amounts which, in management's judgment, will be
adequate to absorb possible losses on loans that may become uncollectible, based
on such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay,
overall portfolio quality, the average of the Bank's loan losses less recoveries
for the current and preceding five years, and review of specific problem loans.

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. The Bank uses primarily accelerated methods of calculating
depreciation.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated service
lives or the terms of the leases. Bank premises are depreciated over a period of
between 30 and 40 years; furniture and equipment are depreciated over a period
of between 1 and 20 years. For income tax purposes, the Bank uses the
depreciation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

FORECLOSED ASSETS acquired through foreclosure action or deed in lieu of
foreclosure are reflected at acquisition cost (loan balance and accrued
interest) plus improvements. The carrying value cannot exceed the estimated net
realizable value and any excess is charged off against the allowance for
foreclosed assets. Operating costs, net of rental income, if any, are charged to
expense in the period incurred.

IN-SUBSTANCE FORECLOSED ASSETS.  Collateral generally is considered repossessed
in substance and accounted for at its fair value when the debtor has little or
no equity in the collateral, considering the current net realizable value of the
collateral; proceeds for repayment of the loan can be expected to come only from
the operation or sale of the collateral; and the debtor has either formally or
effectively abandoned control of the collateral to the creditor or retained
control of the collateral but, because of the current financial condition of the
debtor, or the economic prospects for the debtor and/or the collateral in the
foreseeable future, it is doubtful that the debtor will be able to rebuild
equity in the collateral or otherwise repay the loan in the foreseeable future.
To the extent the loan balance exceeds the net realizable value of the
collateral, the excess is charged off against the allowance for loan losses.
Subsequent declines, if any, in the net realizable value of the collateral are
charged off against the allowance for foreclosed assets.

INCOME TAXES.  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. This Statement requires the use of the
liability method in determining the tax effect of temporary differences in the
recognition of items of income and expense reported in the consolidated
financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes. In prior years
the Company used the deferred method in computing such tax effects. In adopting
this statement, the Company provided for the effect of the change in 1993. As
such, prior period financial statements have not been restated.

The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns. The
subsidiaries pay to or receive from the Company, as appropriate, an allocated
portion of the consolidated income taxes or benefits based upon the effective
income tax rate of the consolidated group.

CONTINGENCY RESERVE FOR QUALIFYING LOAN LOSSES.  Deductions from taxable income
in prior years have been claimed as loan loss provisions for qualifying (real
estate) loans in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. A segregation equal
to the deductions has been made from unappropriated retained earnings to
establish the reserve. If the reserve is used for any purpose other than to
absorb losses on loans, an income tax liability could be incurred. Management
does not anticipate that this reserve will be made available for any other
purposes. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, no
deferred taxes have been provided for this temporary difference (Note 9).

CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN AMOUNTS.  For comparative purposes, certain amounts in
prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform
with the current period classifications.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Bank adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115 as of
December 31, 1993. This statement requires that investment securities, at the
time of acquisition, be classified into one of three categories: held-to-
maturity, available-for-sale or trading.

Debt securities that are purchased with the positive intent and ability to hold
to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost.

Debt and equity securities that are purchased and held for the purpose of sale
in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading
securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax (Note 9), reported in a
separate component of stockholders' equity.

At the time of adoption of this statement, the Bank classified investments in
debt and equity securities based upon the Bank's current intent.

A summary of the Bank's investment securities is as follows:

Included in loans outstanding at March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 were
$8,525,000 and $9,502,000, respectively, in loans on non-accrual status.
Included in these amounts were $6,164,000 in mortgage loans, $1,241,000 in
consumer loans and $1,120,000 in commercial loans at March 31, 1994 and
$6,657,000 in mortgage loans, $1,446,000 in consumer loans and $1,399,000 in
commercial loans at December 31, 1993. At March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993,
non-accrual interest on these loans totaled approximately $482,100 and $810,400,
respectively.

The Bank also monitors and works closely with certain borrowers that may
experience financial difficulties. These difficulties may result in a
modification of loan terms in order to assist a debtor who has been adversely
affected by the state of the local economy. The modification of terms may be in
the form of the waiver of principal payments, a reduction in the interest rate
or the waiver of interest payments for a specified period of time. At March 31,
1994, the Bank had six loan relationships, all of which were secured, totaling
$8.1 million, which were being monitored. Included in this amount are four loans
totaling $2.3 million, the terms of which have been modified and four loans
totaling $3.6 million, which are non-performing.

In connection with the Burritt transaction (Note 14), the Bank purchased two
loan pools at discounts of $9.0 million and $1.3 million, which had been added
to the Bank's allowance for mortgage and consumer loan losses, respectively, in
1992. During 1993, the Company completed the valuation analysis of the loans
acquired in connection with the Burritt transaction. As a result of this
analysis, the Company allocated $6.0 million of the Burritt acquired allowance
for loan losses as a purchased loan discount. This amount will be accreted to
interest revenue over the remaining terms of the acquired loans. At March 31,
1994, the allowance for loan losses, which totaled $6.8 million, included $2.2
million allocated to the loans acquired in the Burritt transaction.

</TABLE>

Loan commitments are agreements to lend and are subject to the same credit
policies as loans and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses. The Bank also issues traditional letters of credit which commit the
Bank to make payments on behalf of its customers based upon specific future
events. Since many of the letters of credit are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. Collateral is obtained based upon management's credit assessment
of the customer.

These leases include options to renew for periods ranging from 3 to 22 years.

In connection with the Burritt transaction, the Bank acquired an option to lease
ten branches, formerly leased by Burritt. The FDIC disaffirmed all of the
leases, except for one which the Bank has assumed. Two of the offices were
closed by the FDIC and not reopened by the Bank. Through March 31, 1994, the
Bank entered into leases on four of the seven locations formerly leased by
Burritt and is renegotiating the terms of two of the remaining locations. The
Bank closed one of the acquired former branch offices of Burritt in January
1994. (Note 14)

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

In February 1992, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 ("SFAS 109") "Accounting For Income Taxes", which superseded SFAS 96, as
amended, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the
effects of income taxes.  The statement requires the use of the liability method
in determining the tax effect of temporary differences in the recognition of
items of income and expense reported in the consolidated financial statements
and those reported for income tax purposes.  Effective January 1, 1993, the
Company adopted SFAS 109.  As a result of the adoption of SFAS 109, the Company
recorded the cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle which
amounted to $1,548,000 or $.58 per share.

NOTE 10 - BENEFIT PLANS

A. RETIREMENT PLAN
The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan which is noncontributory and covers
all full-time employees who meet certain age and length of service
requirements. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
highest compensation during any consecutive five year period during the last
ten years before normal retirement.  The Bank's funding policy is to
contribute annually amounts at least equal to minimum required contributions
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to
service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future.

The components of the net pension expense reflected in Employee benefits expense
were as follows:

B. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN.
The Bank has adopted deferred compensation agreements for its directors
whereby directors can defer earned fees to future years with benefits
commencing at retirement or pre-retirement benefits at death prior to
retirement.  The deferred compensation expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1994 and 1993 was approximately $24,000 and $23,200,
respectively.  The Bank has purchased life insurance policies which it
intends to use to fund the retirement benefits.  For income tax purposes,
no deduction is allowed for the insurance premium expense or deferred
compensation expense, but a deduction will be allowed at the time
compensation is paid to the participant.  For the quarters ended March 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, the Company had no insurance premium expenses
as policy loans were utilized to fund premiums due.

C. THRIFT PLAN.
The Bank has established a defined contribution thrift plan (the "Thrift
Plan") covering eligible employees.  Full-time employees are eligible to
participate in the Thrift Plan upon completion of six months of service.
Eligible employees participating in the Thrift Plan may contribute between
one percent and ten percent of their pre-tax annual compensation.  If an
employee contributes the maximum ten percent of annual compensation, the
employee may also contribute an additional ten percent of post tax annual
compensation.  The Bank contributes $.50 out of net income to the Thrift
Plan for each $1.00 contributed by participants up to three percent of each
participant's compensation.  The Bank's expense for the quarters ended
March 31, 1994 and 1993 was $22,800 and $13,900, respectively.

D. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION
The Bank provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
retired employees.  Substantially all of the Bank's employees become
eligible if they reach normal retirement age while still working for the
Bank.  These benefits are provided through an insurance company whose
premiums are based on the benefits paid during the year.  The premium is
paid by the Bank is based on the retiree's length of service with the Bank.
The Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions"
("SFAS No. 106") in 1992.  The statement requires that the projected future
costs of providing postretirement benefits be recognized as an expense as
employees render service, instead of when the benefits are paid.  Prior to
the adoption of this statement in 1992, the Company recognized
postretirement benefit expense as paid.

For measurement purposes, a 15.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered health care benefits was assumed in 1993.  The rate was
assumed to decrease gradually to 4.5% in year 16 and remain at that level
thereafter.  The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant
effect on the amounts reported.

The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5%.

NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period and
additional common shares assumed to be outstanding to reflect the dilutive
effect of common stock equivalents.  Stock options and their equivalents
are included in earnings per share computations using the treasury stock
method, which assumes that the options are exercised at the beginning of
the period.  Proceeds from such exercise are assumed to be used to
repurchase common stock.  The difference between the number of common
shares assumed to have been issued from the exercise of options and the
number of common shares assumed to have been purchased are added to the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.   Potential dilution
due to exercisable stock options was not material for the three month
period ended March 31, 1993 and is, therefore, not reflected in the
computation of per share amounts for that period (Note 12).


NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTIONS

Under the Company's stock option plan 303,807 shares (adjusted to reflect
stock dividends) of common stock are reserved.  At the time options are
granted, no accounting entry is made.  The proceeds from the exercise of
options are credited to common stock for the par value of the shares
purchased and the excess of the option price over the par value of the
share issued is credited to additional paid-in capital.  The exercise price
of options granted approximated the fair market value of the shares on the
dates granted.  Additionally, stock appreciation rights have been granted
in tandem with stock options.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, compensation
accruals are required for SAR when the market value exceeds the option
exercise price.  However, compensation expense should be measured according
to the terms the Company's SAR holders are most likely to elect based upon
the facts available each period.  Accordingly, no expense accruals have
been made through March 31, 1994 in as much as management does not
anticipate exercise of SAR at this time.

The following table and the data below summarizes the shares subject to
option under the plan which have been adjusted to reflect stock dividends
declared:

As of March 31, 1994, 275,663 options were exercisable at prices ranging

At March 31, 1994, there were 275,663 options in the plan that remained
outstanding.  Through March 31, 1994, 26,034 options have been exercised
and 45,590 options, adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends, have
been cancelled.  2,110 options are available for grant.

Note A:   The Board of Directors authorized and the Company established a
          $3.0 million line of credit to partially fund the repurchase of
          the Company's common stock in 1989 and 1990.  At March 31, 1994,
          $1.45 million was outstanding.  This loan bears an interest rate
          of prime plus one percent, which was 7.0% at March 31, 1994, and
          will be repaid through six equal annual installments, the first
          of which was paid in April, 1991 (Notes 8 and 15).


NOTE 14 - ACQUISITION OF BURRITT INTERFINANCIAL BANCORPORATION

On December 4, 1992, Derby Savings entered into an Insured Deposit Purchase
and Assumption Agreement ("P & A") with the FDIC, pursuant to which Derby
purchased certain assets and assumed the insured deposits and certain other
liabilities of Burritt Interfinancial Bancorporation, New Britain,
Connecticut in an FDIC-assisted transaction.  In the transaction, the Bank
assumed approximately $460 million of insured deposits and approximately
$5.5 million of other liabilities of Burritt.

The assets of Burritt acquired included cash, various investment securities
and certain other assets totaling approximately $54.0 million and two loan
pools of one-to-four family mortgage loans and consumer loans, with book
values of approximately $139.7 million and $29.6 million, respectively.
The loan pools, at December 31, 1992, included non-accrual loans totaling
approximately $6.1 million and $221,000, respectively.  The loans acquired
in this transaction were purchased at a $10.4 million discount, which had
been added to the Bank's allowance for loan losses.  Specific allocations
of the acquired allowance for loan losses, to reflect the fair value of
loans acquired, have been made as management of the Bank identified
probable losses.  During 1993, the Bank completed the valuation analysis of
the loans acquired in connection with the Burritt transaction.  As a result
of this analysis, the Company allocated $6.0 million of the Burritt
allowance for loan losses as a purchased loan discount (Note 4).  This
amount will be accreted to interest revenue over the remaining terms of the
acquired loans.

The FDIC advanced approximately $225 million in cash to Derby in partial
settlement of the difference between the amount of deposits and liabilities
assumed and the assets acquired by Derby, less the $6.2 million premium
paid by Derby in the transaction.  Of the premium paid to the FDIC, the
Bank recorded $5.0 million as a core deposit intangible included in Other
assets.

The assets purchased and the liabilities assumed in the Burritt transaction
were subject to adjustment up to the settlement date, December 3, 1993, to
reflect the actual book value of the assets and liabilities acquired.
During 1993, through a series of interim settlements, the FDIC paid Derby
approximately $15.4 million, which reflects the net adjustments of the
assets and liabilities acquired and certain other adjustments (including
any costs, expenses and fees associated with certain determinations of
value) as provided in the P & A.


                                  - 24 -
<PAGE>
As part of the transaction, the Bank acquired the right to service loans
for others which totaled approximately $107.1 million at December 31, 1992.
Approximately $1.1 million of the premium paid to the FDIC has been
allocated to the tangible value of acquired mortgage servicing rights,
included in Other assets.  This amount will be amortized over the expected
future life of the serviced loans as a reduction to serviced loan fee
income.  Additionally, the Bank entered into an interim management
agreement with the FDIC pursuant to which the Bank would service loans
which at December 31, 1992 totaled $258.9 million.  The servicing of these
loans for the FDIC ended September 30, 1993.

In connection with the transaction, Derby acquired an option to acquire or
lease Burritt's 13 banking offices and related equipment.  The Bank
exercised its option with respect to 11 of such banking offices.  The
offices acquired are located in the towns of New Britain (5 offices),
Newington, East Hartford, Plainville, Rocky Hill, West Hartford and
Glastonbury, Connecticut.  Derby did not exercise its option with respect
to the two Burritt banking offices located in Vernon and Southington,
Connecticut.  Such offices were closed and not opened by Derby.  Three of
Burritt's offices were owned and, in accordance with the P & A, were
appraised in order to establish their fair value.  In 1993, the Bank
purchased two of these offices and entered into a short-term rental
agreement with the FDIC on the third.  In June 1994, the Bank will be
relocating the operations of the former main office of Burritt, which the
Bank was renting from the FDIC.  Of the remaining 8 banking offices which
had been leased by Burritt, one had been assumed by the Bank.  Through
March 31, 1994, the Bank entered into leases on four of the seven locations
formerly leased by Burritt and is renegotiating the terms of two of the
remaining locations.  The Bank closed one of the acquired former branch
offices of Burritt in January 1994.


NOTE 15 - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

In the second quarter of 1992, the Board of Directors of Derby Savings
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the "Memorandum") with the FDIC
and the Connecticut Commissioner of Banks.  The Memorandum calls for the
Board of Directors of the Bank to develop a written plan to reduce the
level of assets classified "substandard" and to establish target levels for
the reduction of adversely classified assets to 75% of total equity capital
and reserves by December 31, 1992 and to 50% of total equity capital and
reserves within a reasonable time thereafter.  At March 31, 1994, the level
of assets classified "substandard" represented 40% of the Bank's total
equity capital and reserves.  The Memorandum also calls for the level of
delinquent loans to be reduced to no more than 7% of gross loans by
December 31, 1992 and to 5% of gross loans by December 31, 1993.  At March
31, 1994, delinquent loans totaled $29.4 million or 3.6% of total loans.
Additionally, the Memorandum limits the payment of cash dividends by the
Bank to DS Bancor to the Company's debt service and non-salary expenses.

In connection with the Burritt transaction, the FDIC modified the terms of
the Memorandum which pertained to the maintenance of capital ratios.  The
Memorandum initially required that the Bank maintain a ratio of tier 1
capital to total assets of at least 5.5% and if the ratio fell below 7%,
the Bank was required to notify the FDIC and the Connecticut Commissioner.
The modification requires Derby to have tier 1 capital in excess of 5% of
total assets by December 31, 1993 and tier 1 capital at or above 5.75% of
total assets by December 31, 1994.  The Bank's tier 1 capital ratio at
March 31, 1994 was 5.2%, which exceeded the FDIC requirement applicable at
that date.  The Bank expects to achieve the December 31, 1994 capital
target through maintaining asset size at current levels and earnings
retention.

     GENERAL.  Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 1994 totaled
$1,492,00 or $.54 per share (fully diluted) compared to $2,838,000 or $1.07 per
share (fully diluted) for the comparable period in 1993.  Net income for the
first quarter of 1993 included $1,548,000 or $.58 per share, resulting from the
adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109.  This amount
represented the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes
effective January 1, 1993.  Net income before the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle totaled $1,290,000 or $.49 per share.  Net income
for the three months ended March 31, 1994 represented an annualized return on
average assets of .49% compared to .96% for the corresponding period in 1993.

     Net income for the current period reflected a $202,000 or 15.7% increase
compared to income before the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle for year earlier period.  There were several changes in the components
that comprise net income.  For the current quarter compared to the year earlier
period, net interest revenue increased $1.0 million and other expense decreased
$311,000, both of which were partially offset by a $931,000 decline in other
revenue.

     INTEREST REVENUE.  Interest and fee revenue from loans and interest on the
investment portfolio decreased $694,000 or 3.7% during the three months ended
March 31, 1994 compared to the corresponding period in 1993.  The decrease in
interest revenue was due to the decline in the yield on average interest-earning
assets, which was partially offset by the interest revenue resulting from an
increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding.

     The average yield on interest-earning assets declined 34 basis points (100
basis points equals one percent) from 6.68% during the first quarter of 1993 to
6.34% during the current quarter.  The decline in the yield reflects the general
decline in the level of interest rates between the two periods.  Average
interest-earning assets increased $16.5 million or 1.5% during the current
quarter compared to the comparable 1993 period.  This increase was essentially
due to the growth in total average assets between the two periods.  Reflecting
the Company's objective of allocating financial resources from investments to
loans, average loans outstanding increased $66.8 million or 9.3%, while the
average of all other interest-earning assets decreased $50.3 million or 12.0%.

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1994, interest on loans includes the
amortization of previously deferred fees of $110,000, which increased the yield
on average interest-earning assets by 4 basis points.  For the comparable 1993
period, interest on loans included the amortization of previously deferred fees
which totaled $187,000 and increased the yield on average interest-earning
assets by 7 basis points.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased $1,689,000 or 14.5% during
the three months ended March 31, 1994 compared to the corresponding period in
1993.  This decrease was essentially due to a general decline in the average
cost of funds during the current period which more than offset the effect of the
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.  Average interest-bearing
liabilities increased $12.6 million or 1.2% during the current period compared
to the comparable 1993 period.

     NET INTEREST REVENUE.  As a result of the changes in interest revenue and
interest expense noted above, net interest revenue increased $1.0 million or
13.6% from $7.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1993 to $8.3 million
during the current quarter.  The net interest rate spread improved 32 basis
points from 2.42% during the first quarter of 1993 to 2.74% during the first
quarter of 1994.

      The following table summarizes the Bank's net interest revenue (including
dividends) and net yield on average interest-earning assets.  Non-accruing
loans, for the purpose of this analysis, are included in average loans
outstanding during the periods indicated.  For the purpose of these
computations, daily average amounts were used to compute average balances.

        PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The Bank provided $600,000 for loan
losses during the first quarter of 1994 compared to $450,000 for the
comparable 1993 period.  At the end of the first quarter of 1994, the
Company's allowance for loan losses totaled $6.8 million, representing 61.3%
of loans past due 90 days or more and non-accruing loans.  The allowance for
loan losses includes $2.2 million allocated to the loans acquired in the
Burritt transaction (see notes to Consolidated financial statements).

        OTHER REVENUE.  Other revenue decreased $931,000 or 51.9% from
$1,794,000 during the first quarter of 1993 to $863,000 during the first
quarter of 1994.  Service charges and other revenue, comprised principally of
loan service and deposit related fees, decreased $1,173,000 from $1,756,000
for the first quarter of 1993 to $583,000 for the current quarter.  As part
of the Burritt transaction, the Bank was servicing a pool of loans for the
FDIC on an interim basis (through September, 1993).  The fees earned by the
Bank for providing this service amounted to $1,140,000 for the first quarter
of 1993.  Net securities and other gains increased from $38,000 in the 1993
period to $280,000 in the 1994 period.

        OTHER EXPENSES.  Other expenses decreased $311,000 or 4.9% from
$6,402,000 during the first quarter of 1993 to $6,091,000 during the
corresponding period in 1994.  Salaries and employee benefits, the largest
component of the Company's cost of operations, increased $173,000 or 7.5%
from $2,320,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 1993 to $2,493,000 during
the current quarter.  All other operating expenses, in the aggregate,
decreased $484,000 or 11.9% from $4,082,000 during the first quarter of 1993
to $3,598,000 for the comparable 1994 period.  The decline in all other
expenses was attributable to the decline in foreclosed asset expense which
totaled $544,000 in the first quarter of 1994 compared to $1,242,000 for the
comparable 1993 quarter.  Included in this expense is the provision for
foreclosed assets which amounted to $400,000 in the current quarter compared
to $975,000 for the year earlier period.  The Company expects that until the
level of foreclosed assets declines substantially, foreclosed asset expense
will continue to be significant.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
premium increased from $494,000 for the 1993 period to $726,000 for the
current period.  The increased volume of insured deposits assumed in the
Burritt transaction, in large part, accounted for the $232,000 or 47.0%
increase in the premium paid in the current quarter compared to the year
earlier period.

         As required by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
91, the Bank deferred certain direct costs resulting from the origination of
loans.  These deferred costs, which are principally comprised of salaries,
employee benefits and other loan expenses, totaled approximately $445,000 for
the current quarter compared to $355,000 for the year earlier period.

        NET NON-INTEREST MARGIN.  The net non-interest margin, the difference
between other revenue (non-interest revenue) and other expenses (non-interest
expense) as a percentage of average assets (annualized) outstanding,
decreased by 17 basis points from (1.55%) during the quarter ended March 31,
1993 to (1.72%) during the current 1994 period.  Other revenue, as a
percentage of average assets (annualized), decreased from .61% to .28% for
the quarters ended March 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively.  Other expenses, as
a percentage of average assets (annualized), decreased 16 basis points from
2.16% during the quarter ended March 31, 1993 to 2.00% during the current
quarter.

        PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes during
the current quarter totaled $1,011,000, reflecting a 40.4% effective income
tax rate compared to $988,000 or an effective income tax rate of 43.4% for
the comparable 1993 period on income before the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle.

        CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE.  In February 1992, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109") "Accounting
For Income Taxes", which superseded SFAS 96, as amended, which established
financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes.
The Statement requires the use of the liability method in determining the tax
effect of temporary differences in the recognition of items of income and
expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported
for income tax purposes.  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS
109.  As a result of the adoption of SFAS 109, the Company recorded the
cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle which amounted to

        The Company's assets totaled $1.23 billion at March 31, 1994 compared
to $1.19 billion at December 31, 1993.  The assets of the Company are
primarily invested in loans to residents and, to a lesser extent, the
businesses located in the Bank's market area.  At March 31, 1994,
approximately $815.1 million, representing 66.4% of the Company's assets,
were comprised of loans, compared to $786.3 million or 65.8% of total assets
at December 31, 1993.  The predominant thrust of the Bank's lending business
is to provide financing for residential real estate.  Essentially as a result
of the relatively low level of interest rates available for residential
mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 1993, which fostered a rise in
the level of loan applications, the Bank's loan portfolio increased $29.0
million or 3.7% during the first quarter of the year.  As in 1993, the large
majority of the residential real estate loans made by the Bank during the
quarter were for the refinance of previously outstanding loans.  Nonetheless,
the Bank achieved a net growth in

                                   - 30 -

outstanding loans.  Curtailing the growth in the loan portfolio during the
first quarter 1993 was the sale of approximately $8.8 million in mortgage
loans and the reclassification of $1.5 million of loans to in-substance
foreclosed assets.

        The Bank has positioned itself in the market area that it serves
primarily as a provider of consumer financing and, to a lesser extent, as a
provider of commercial and business loans.  At March 31, 1994, $658.0 million
or 80.7% of the Bank's loans were for the financing of one-to-four family
residences and $92.8 million or 11.4% of the Bank's loans were allocated to
consumer loans, primarily home equity lines of credit.  In the aggregate, at
March 31, 1994, these two segments of the Bank's loan portfolio represented
92.1% of the Bank's total loans.

        During the first quarter, the level of non-performing assets, which
include loans past due 90 days or more, non-accrual loans, and foreclosed and
in-substance foreclosed assets (see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial
Statements) continued to trend down.  At March 31, 1994, non-performing
assets totaled $27.8 million, representing 2.3% of total assets compared to
$28.2 million or 2.4% of total assets at year end 1993.  At March 31, 1994,
foreclosed and in-substance foreclosed assets totaled $16.7 million,
representing 1.4% of total assets, compared to $16.1 million or 1.4% of total
assets at year end 1993.

        The following table sets forth non-accrual loans and loans past due
for 90 days or more, including loans in foreclosure, and the allowance for
loan losses at the dates indicated:

(1)  The Bank reallocated $6 million of the allowance allocated to the loans
acquired in the Burritt transaction to a purchased loan discount.

        The Company's loan portfolio is segregated into three broad
categories of loans:  real estate, consumer and commercial.  The Company's
investment in real estate loans totaled $691.8 million, representing 56.4%
of total assets at March 31, 1994 compared to $660.6 million or 55.3% of
total assets at year end 1993.  The Bank experienced a significant rise in
the level of mortgage loan applications, predominantly for the refinance of
residential property.  As previously noted and reflected in the growth in
the Bank's loan portfolio, the majority of the refinance activity were
loans previously outstanding with other lenders.  Mortgage loans closed
during the first quarter of 1994 totaled $83.9 million.

        The Bank continued to supplement local loan originations through
the purchase of single family adjustable rate mortgage loans.  The Bank
purchased $1.2 million of these loans during the first quarter of 1994
compared to $2.3 million during comparable 1993 period.  The origination
and purchase of adjustable rate loans is an integral part of the  Bank's
management of interest rate risk.  (See "Asset/Liability Management".)

        The Bank's investment in real estate mortgages is primarily
secured by residential properties and, to a lesser extent, multi-family
housing.  This portfolio also includes financing for commercial real estate
and real estate development and construction.  Loans to finance one-to-four
family residences totaled $658.0 million or 80.7% of the Bank's total loan
portfolio at March 31, 1994 compared to $621.6 million, representing 79.1%
of the total loan portfolio, at year end 1993.  The level of loans past due
90 days or more totaled $5.8 million or .9% of this portfolio at March 31,
1994 compared to $5.7 million or .9% of the portfolio at year end 1993.

        Multi-family housing loans totaled $7.3 million or .9% of the
total loan portfolio at March 31, 1994 compared to $8.5 million or 1.1% of
the total loan portfolio at year end 1993.  At March 31, 1994, loans past
due 90 days or more totaled $2.6 million or 36.1% of this portfolio
compared to $2.6 million or 30.8% at year end 1993.  Loans to finance
commercial real estate totaled $24.0 million or 2.9% of the total loan
portfolio at March 31, 1994, of which $.2 million or .8% were past due 90
days or more.  At year end 1993, this portfolio totaled $27.7 million,
representing 3.5% of total loans, of which $.7 million or 2.5% were past
due 90 days or more.

        The fourth group of loans included in the Bank's real estate
mortgage portfolio were made to finance real estate construction, primarily
residential condominiums and single family residences.  This portfolio of
loans totaled $2.5 million or .3% of total loans at March 31, 1994 compared
to $2.8 million or .4% of total loans at year end 1993.  At March 31, 1994
and year end 1993, there were no loans in this loan category past due 90
days or more.  Unadvanced construction commitments approximated $443,000 at
March 31, 1994 and $533,000 at year end 1993.

        The Company's investment in consumer loans totaled $92.8 million,
representing 11.4% of total loans at March 31, 1994, compared to $95.5
million or 12.1% of total loans at year end 1993.  The consumer loan
portfolio is primarily comprised of home equity lines of credit, which
complement the Bank's primary business of providing financing for single
family residences.  The home equity line of credit, which is collateralized
by the equity in residential real property, has become the Bank's second
largest investment in loans.   Home equity lines of credit totaled $125.6
million, with $67.2 million in use at March 31, 1994 compared to $124.8
million, with $68.4 million in use at year end 1993.  At March 31, 1994,
consumer loans past due 90 days or more totaled $1.3 million or 1.4% of
this portfolio.  Home equity lines of credit included in this amount
totaled $759,000, representing 1.1% of HELOCs outstanding.  In comparison,
at year end 1993, consumer loans past due 90 days or more totaled $1.7
million or 1.8% of the consumer loan portfolio, including $945,000,
representing 1.4% of the home equity lines of credit.

        The Company also provides credit to the businesses located within
the Bank's market area.  The Bank's commercial lending department invests
in loans for the development of real estate and other business needs.  The
Bank's investment in commercial loans totaled $30.5 million at March 31,
1994, essentially unchanged from the $30.1 million invested at year end
1993.  At March 31, 1994, $3.6 million or 11.9% of this portfolio was
invested in loans for the development of real estate and $26.9 million or
88.1% was invested in loans for various business needs.  Unadvanced real
estate development commitments totaled $1.3 million at March 31, 1994,
compared to $1.3 million at year end 1993.  At March 31, 1994, loans past
due 90 days or more totaled $1.1 million, representing 3.7% of the
commercial loan portfolio compared to $1.4 million or 4.6% at year end
1993.

     As detailed in the table above, the level of non-accrual loans and
accruing loans past due 90 days or more declined modestly from $12.1
million at year end 1993 to $11.1 million at March 31, 1994.  At March 31,
1994, the Bank had $9.3 million in foreclosed assets, consisting of 45
properties, compared to $9.4 million, consisting of 44 properties at year
end 1993.  During the first quarter of 1994, the Bank reclassified $1.5
million in loans to in-substance foreclosed assets.  At March 31, 1994, the
Bank had $8.4 million, consisting of 54 properties, classified as
in-substance foreclosed assets compared to $7.8 million, consisting of 50
properties, at year end 1993.  In the aggregate, the Bank is carrying 99
properties, totaling $16.7 million, net of a $1.0 million valuation
allowance, in foreclosed and in-substance foreclosed assets.  This compares
to 94 properties, totaling $16.1 million, net of a $1.0 million valuation
allowance, at year end 1993.

     During the past several years, as the volume of assets acquired by the
Bank through the foreclosure process increased and the value of the
underlying real estate declined, the Bank adopted a policy of reappraising
foreclosed and in-substance foreclosed assets on at least an annual basis.
This policy has assisted the Bank in quantifying the net realizable value
of these assets, and has provided the basis, as necessary, for subsequent
write-downs of the carrying amount of these assets.  Additionally, in order
to provide for unidentified and possible future declines in the value of
foreclosed assets, the Bank established an allowance for foreclosed assets
in 1991.  This allowance is funded through a provision for foreclosed
assets which is charged to and included in foreclosed asset expense.  In
the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Bank provided $400,000 to this
allowance compared to $975,000 in the comparable 1993 period.  During the
current quarter, the Bank charged $480,000 in specific write-downs against
this allowance compared to $1.0 million during the year earlier period.  At
March 31, 1994, the allowance for foreclosed assets totaled $961,000
compared to $1.0 million at year end 1993.

      The reduction of non-performing assets has been one of the primary
objectives of the Bank and, as noted, total non-performing assets declined
modestly during the current quarter.  A principal focus in 1994 will be a
continuation of the Bank's efforts to reduce the level of non-performing
assets.  Continued weakness in the local economy suggests that progress in
this area will be moderate.  The amount of loans past due 60 days has
declined to $6.2 million at March 31, 1994, representing .8% of the total
loan portfolio compared to $8.0 million or 1.0% of the total loan portfolio
at year end 1993.

     The foundation of the Bank's program to reduce the level of non-
performing assets is the loan collection and workout process.  In addition
to the personnel assigned to the collection/workout area, the Bank has two
officers responsible for the management and sale of foreclosed assets.
This increasingly important function of the Bank is supported by a standing
committee of the Board of Directors, comprised of individuals experienced
in the areas of real estate sales and development, which was established to
assist and give advice on the management and disposition of troubled
assets.

     To the extent that the Bank ultimately takes title to troubled assets,
the Board of Directors and management of the Bank have established several
programs to facilitate the timely disposition of foreclosed assets.  The
foundation of these programs is to establish fair and realistic value for
foreclosed assets, taking into consideration the potential opportunity cost
associated with lengthy marketing time.  The Bank augments this pricing
policy through preferred Bank financing, including special first-time
home-buyer programs.  To further expand sales efforts and reduce market
time, the Bank also maintains consistent marketing programs and premium
realtor commissions.  The employment of these programs has enabled the Bank
to sell and close on 9 properties for an aggregate consideration of
$900,000 in the first quarter of 1994.  During the comparable 1993 period,
the Bank sold and closed on 16 properties for an aggregate consideration of
$1.5 million.

     At March 31, 1994, one condominium project was included in foreclosed
assets.  The Bank's net investment in this project was $2.8 million at
March 31, 1994.  Thirty-two units in this project have been completed and
sold.  The Bank is currently pursuing the sale of the remaining land
available for future development.

     In order to maintain the quality of the loan portfolio, as well as to
provide for potential losses that are inherent in the lending process, the
Bank controls its lending activities through adherence to loan policies
adopted by the Board of Directors and stringent underwriting standards.  To
provide for possible losses within the loan portfolio, the Company
maintains an allowance for loan losses.  The allowance for loan losses is
maintained through the provision for loan losses which is a charge to
earnings.  This provision is determined on a quarterly basis, based upon
management's review of the anticipated uncollectability of loans, current
economic conditions, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans and
an assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Based on
these factors, the Company provided $600,000 to the allowance for loan
losses during the current quarter compared to $450,000 during the
comparable 1993 period.  During the current quarter the Bank wrote off
$802,000 (net of recoveries).

       As part of the Burritt transaction, the Bank purchased approximately
$169.3 million of loans at a $10.4 million discount, which was initially
added to the Bank's allowance for loan losses.  This discount was based
upon management's assessment of the potential credit risk inherent in the
portfolios acquired.  During 1993, the Bank completed the valuation
analysis of the loans acquired in the Burritt transaction.  As a result of
this analysis, the Bank allocated $6.0 million of the Burritt allowance for
loan losses as a purchased loan discount.  This amount will be accreted to
interest revenue over the remaining terms of the acquired loans.  At March
31, 1994, the allowance for loan losses totaled $6.8 million, which
includes $2.2 million allocated to the loans acquired in the Burritt
transaction.  In comparison, the allowance for loan losses totaled $7.0
million at year end 1993, which included $2.3 million allocated to the
loans acquired in the Burritt transaction.  The allowance for loan losses
represented 61.3% of non-performing loans at March 31, 1994, compared to
57.8% at year end 1993.

     In addition to collection and workout efforts, management also
monitors and works closely with certain borrowers that may experience
financial difficulties.  The debtors may be experiencing cash flow problems
which inhibit their ability to service their debt in accordance with its
terms.  This situation may be due to, among other things, a decline in
sales, increases in inventories, and vacancies.  These conditions may
result in a modification of loan terms in order to assist a debtor who has
been adversely affected by the state of the local economy.  The
modification of terms may be in the form of the waiver of principal
payments, a reduction in the interest rate or the waiver of interest
payments for a specified period of time.  At March 31, 1994, in addition to
non-performing assets, the Bank had six loan relationships, all of which
are secured, totaling $8.1 million, which are being monitored.  Included in
this amount are four loans totaling $2.3 million, the terms of which have
been modified and four loans totaling $3.6 million, which are non-
performing.

     During the past several years, the performance of the Company has been
adversely impacted through the loss of interest revenue and increases in
the provisions for loan losses.  To moderate this effect upon the Company's
performance, the Bank, prior to the Burritt transaction, had been following
a strategy of increasing the level of interest-earning assets. (See
"Asset/Liability Management").  In addition to assertive marketing programs
directed toward the origination of loans and deposits, the Bank has also
borrowed funds from the FHLB of Boston and allocated these resources to the
investment portfolio.  The investments made by the Bank were, for the most
part, in mortgage-backed securities issued by agencies of the U.S.
Government.  Additionally, in settlement of the difference between the
amount of deposits and liabilities assumed and the assets purchased in the
Burritt transaction, the FDIC advanced approximately $240 million to the
Bank.  These funds have been primarily allocated among various mortgage-
backed security investment alternatives and other investment grade
securities.  As a result of these purchases, the investment portfolio
totaled $322.6 million, representing 27.0% of total assets at year end 1993
and $352.7 million or 28.7% of total assets at March 31, 1994.  In addition
to mortgage-backed securities, the Company's investment portfolio is
comprised of investment grade corporate bonds, marketable equity securities
and money market preferred stock.

     The Bank adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.
115 as of December 31, 1993.  This statement requires, in part, that
certain investment securities that are classified as available for sale be
recorded at market value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax,
reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity.  As a result, at
March 31, 1994, the Bank recorded an unrealized loss, net of tax, of
$459,000 which is included in Stockholders' equity.  (See "Consolidated
Financial Statements").

     FUNDING SOURCES.  The investment activities of the Bank are funded
from several sources.  The primary source of funds is supplied by local
depositors and is complimented by advances from the FHLB of Boston.  In
addition, the Bank is supplied with a steady flow of funds from the
amortization and prepayment of loans as well as the amortization and
maturity of investment securities.  The Bank also derives funds, from time
to time, through the sale of loans into the secondary market and allocates
the proceeds in accordance with established asset and liability management
objectives.

     During the quarter, deposits increased by $13.6 million or 1.4%, after
interest credited of $8.3 million, from $1.006 billion, funding 84.3% of
total assets at year end 1993, to $1.02 billion, funding 83.1% of total
assets at March 31, 1994.

      Retail deposits are essentially derived from the communities in which
the Bank's offices are located.  The Bank offers a wide variety of deposit
accounts which include money market deposit accounts, certificates of
deposit and regular savings.

     The Bank also utilizes the FHLB of Boston as an alternative source of
funds.  At March 31, 1994, FHLB of Boston advances totaled $128.3 million,
funding 10.5% of total assets, compared to $105.0 million, funding 8.8% of
total assets at year end 1993.  The flexibility, pricing and repricing
characteristics of the funding alternatives offered by the FHLB of Boston
have allowed the Bank to match-fund fixed rate commercial mortgage loans,
one year adjustable rate mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit.
The Bank has also employed funds from the FHLB of Boston to fund the
purchase of various mortgage-backed securities.

     Amortization, prepayments and the sale of loans into the secondary
market supplied the Bank with an additional $70.1 million in investable
funds during the first quarter of the year.  In keeping with the Bank's
asset and liability management objectives, the Bank sold $8.8 million in
fixed rate mortgage loans during the first quarter of 1994.  The Bank has
retained servicing on all loans that have been sold and, at March 31, 1994,
was servicing $141.3 million of mortgage loans for others.

     ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT.  Derby Savings' asset liability management
program is based upon operating the Bank within a framework of
fundamentally matching interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive
liabilities.  The purpose of pursuing this policy is to position the Bank
to produce stable net interest revenue through all phases of the business
cycle and resulting interest rate levels.

     The table on the following page summarizes the Company's
interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities that mature or
reprice during the various time periods noted.  Loans are net of deferred
loan fees and net of non-accruing loans.

     CAPITAL RESOURCES.  The Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") has adopted
risk-based capital standards which require bank holding companies to maintain a
minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%.  Of the required
capital, 4.0% must be tier 1 capital.  Tier 1 capital is primarily common
stockholders' equity and certain categories of perpetual preferred stock.  As
part of the Burritt transaction, Derby paid the FDIC a premium of $6.2 million.
Of the premium paid, $5.0 million was recorded as a core deposit intangible.
Through March 31, 1994, this amount was reduced to $4.1 million through
amortization expense.  This amount, in addition to approximately $158,000 of
other intangible assets resulting from the transaction, are required to be
deducted from the Company's and the Bank's capital prior to determining
regulatory capital requirements.  After giving effect to the transaction, the
Company had a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.2% and a
ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 9.2% at March 31, 1994.

     The Board has supplemented the risk-based capital requirements with a
required minimum leverage ratio of 3% of tier 1 capital to total assets.  The
Board indicated that all but the most highly-rated holding companies, however,
should maintain a leverage ratio of 4% to 5% of tier 1 capital to total assets.
At March 31, 1994, the Company had a ratio of tier 1 capital to total assets of
5.1%.

     Derby Savings Bank is also required by the FDIC to meet risk-based ratios
the same as those adopted by the FRB for the Company.  At March 31, 1994, Derby
Savings' ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 10.3% and its ratio
of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 9.3%.

     The FDIC has also adopted a minimum leverage ratio of 3% of tier 1 capital
to total assets.  The FDIC has also indicated that all but the most highly rated
banks should maintain a leverage ratio of 4% to 5% of tier 1 capital to total
assets.  Derby Savings' ratio of tier 1 capital to total assets at March 31,
1994 was 5.2%.

     Derby entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the "Memorandum") with
the FDIC in April 1992, which required Derby to maintain a minimum tier 1
capital to total asset ratio of 5.5%.  In connection with the Burritt
transaction, the FDIC modified the terms of the Memorandum to require that Derby
have tier 1 capital to total assets ratio in excess of 5% by December 31, 1993,
which the Bank has exceeded, and at or above 5.75% by December 31, 1994.  Derby
expects to achieve the December 31, 1994 capital target through maintaining
asset size at current levels and earnings retention.

     Under the prompt corrective action regulation recently adopted by the FDIC,
which became effective on December 19, 1992, a savings bank will be considered:
(i) "well capitalized" if the savings bank has a risk based capital ratio of 10%
or greater, a tier one or core capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 6% or
greater, and a leverage ratio to adjusted total assets of 5% or greater
(provided the savings bank is not subject to an order, written agreement,
capital directive or prompt corrective action to meet and maintain a specified
capital level for any capital measure); (ii)"adequately capitalized" if the
institution has a risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a tier 1 or core
capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 4% or greater, and a leverage ratio to
adjusted total assets of 4% or greater (3% or greater if the institution is
rated composite 1 in its most recent report of examination); (iii)
"undercapitalized" if the institution has a risk based capital ratio that is
less than 8%, a tier 1 or core capital to risk weighted assets ratio that is
less than 4% (3% if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent
report of examination) and a leverage ratio to adjusted total assets that is
less that 3%; (iv)"significantly undercapitalized" if the institution has a
risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6%, a tier one or core capital to
risk weighted assets ratio that is less than 3%, and a leverage ratio to
adjusted total assets ratio that is less than 3%; and (v) "critically
undercapitalized" if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total
assets that is less than 2%.  The regulation also permits the FDIC to determine
that a savings bank should be placed in a lower category based on other
information such as a savings institution's examination report, after written
notice.  Based on its capital ratios as of March 31, 1994, the Bank believes it
is "adequately capitalized" for purposes of this regulation.
