                          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, 1994 and 1993,
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1994, the six-month period ended December 31,
1993 and the year ended June 30, 1993 (Note 5). 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's management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

The Administrator of the

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, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in
its net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994,
the six-month period ended December 31, 1993 and the year 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 as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and reportable transactions
for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the six months 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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993



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 and its subsidiaries (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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

          (d)  Benefits are recorded when paid.


NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

          In October 1993, the Plan entered into an agreement with
          Fleet Investment Services (Fleet) to act as investment
          manager and as directed trustee.  Pursuant to the agree-
          ment, the assets of the Plan were transferred to Fleet and
          invested in various investment options as directed by
          participants (Notes 1 and 5).

          Prior to the agreement, Plan investments were maintained by
          Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CGLIC) and
          invested in a guaranteed investment contract with CGLIC
          (Note 5).

          During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Plan purchased
          common stock of DS Bancor (Note 1) aggregating 9,812 shares
          at a cost of $254,552, and sold 1,097 shares for proceeds
          aggregating $31,377.  No purchases or sales occurred during
          the six-month period ended December 31, 1993.


NOTE 4 - TAX STATUS

          The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from
          the Internal Revenue Service, which qualifies the Plan for
          favorable tax treatment under Sections 401(k) and 401(a) of
          the Internal Revenue Code and therefore, is exempt from
          federal income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a).

NOTE 5 - PLAN AMENDMENT

          Effective August 31, 1993, the Bank's Board of Directors
          approved a plan amendment that authorized the transfer of
          plan assets from CGLIC to Fleet and appointed Fleet as
          investment manager and directed trustee.  The amendment
          authorized participants to invest their account balances in
          various investment options, including DS Bancor common
          stock, and also provided that, henceforth, Bank matching and
          discretionary contributions would be invested solely in
          shares of DS Bancor common stock.

          Contemporaneously with the transfer of the Plan's assets to
          Fleet, the Plan's fiscal year-end was changed from June 30
          to December 31.  As a result, the accompanying Statements of
          Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits reflects
          activity during the year ended December 31, 1994, the
          six-month short period ended December 31, 1993 necessary to
          affect the change in plan year-end, and the year ended June
          30, 1993.
