ATTACHMENT TO FORM 12b-25
U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Filed By DS Bancor, Inc.
The Derby Savings Bank Thrift Plan Annual Report on Form 11-K is
unable to be filed within the prescribed time period because the Registrant is
still in the process of compiling the required financial information necessary
to prepare the Form 11-K. The delay primarily relates to a change in the Plan's
fiscal year and appointment of a new Trustee during 1993. The Derby Savings
Bank Thrift Plan expects to file its Annual report on Form 11-K for the year
ended December 31, 1993 within 15 calendar days following the prescribed due
date.
