Independent Auditors' Report


Mrs. Patricia A. Phelps, Plan Administrator
BSB Bank & Trust Company
401(k) Savings Plan in RSI Retirement Trust
Binghamton, New York

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of BSB Bank & Trust Company 401(k) Savings Plan in RSI Retirement Trust (the
"Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995.  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 of disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by 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 benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and of reportable transactions are presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the  basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the  Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The Fund Information in
the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and
changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.  The
supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits 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.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The financial statements included herein have been prepared on an accrual
    basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles.

    The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net
    appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which
    consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation
    (depreciation) on these investments.

    INVESTMENT VALUATION

    The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Retirement trust funds
    represent participation in the RSI Retirement Trust Funds and are valued by
    the trust based upon the market value of each fund's underlying securities.
    BSB Bancorp, Inc. and RSI System Group Inc. common stock is valued at its
    quoted market price. Participant loans receivable are valued at cost which
    approximates market.

    ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

    The Company pays the ordinary administrative expenses of the Plan and
    compensation of the Trustees to the extent required.


2.  PLAN DESCRIPTION

    The following description of the BSB Bank & Trust Company 401(k) Savings
    Plan in RSI Retirement Trust provides only general information. Participants
    should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the
    Plan's provisions.

    GENERAL

    The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of
    the Company who have one year of service and are age twenty-one or older.
    The Plan was established on April 1, 1986 and is subject to the provisions
    of the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

    CONTRIBUTIONS

    Each year the Company contributes 100% of the participant's contribution up
    to two percent of the participant's compensation and 50% up to the next two
    percent of the participant's compensation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


2.  PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

    CONTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED)

    Participants may contribute not less than one percent nor greater than ten
    percent of their compensation up to a maximum of $9,240 per year.

    PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

    Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution
    and allocation of (a) the Company's contribution, and (b) Plan earnings.
    Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as
    defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
    can be provided from the participant's account.

    VESTING
 
    Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus
    actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their accounts is based
    on years of continuous service. A participant is 100% vested after five
    years of credited service.

    FORFEITURES

    The portion of the matching contributions and earnings thereon for which a
    participant is not vested is forfeited upon termination of employment with
    the Company. The value of any forfeitures is used to offset part of the
    Company's future contributions.

    PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

    On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-
    sum amount equal to the value of his or her account, or annual installments
    over a period not to exceed 20 years.

    PLAN TERMINATION

    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
    under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
    the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan
    termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

3.  TAX STATUS

    The trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is qualified
    pursuant to the appropriate section of the Internal Revenue Code, and,
    accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt from income taxes.
