                      WEDGESTONE FINANCIAL AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


        For the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995


NOTE 1.     Background and Basis of Presentation

         Background - Wedgestone  Financial  ("Wedgestone" or the "Company") was
formed in 1980 as a real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  and, on August 9,
1991, filed for bankruptcy.  Wedgestone's  plan of  reorganization  (the "Plan")
became effective on August 3, 1992.

         Under the guidance of its current  management,  Wedgestone  operates in
two  business  segments,   Automotive  Products  and  Real  Estate  and  Lending
activities.  The automotive  segment  manufactures  and  distributes  automotive
aftermarket  products for the light duty truck market.  Its  principal  products
include rear bumpers;  tubular  products such as grille  guards,  push bars, and
step bars;  and  various  other  related  aftermarket  products.  The  Company's
automotive  products are marketed in traditional,  original  equipment,  service
parts and retail automotive  aftermarkets.  The automotive segment  manufactures
and sells its products at two  locations in  California,  and one in  Minnesota.
Sales are also made from distribution centers in Texas and Utah.

         Although its primary focus has shifted toward its  Automotive  Products
business  segment,  Wedgestone's  Real Estate and Lending  business  segment has
continued  since  emerging  from  bankruptcy  in  1992.  Wedgestone  owns  three
properties  that were  acquired by  foreclosure.  The  aggregate  value,  net of
reserves,  is  approximately  $1,086,000  as of June 30,  1996.  Wedgestone  has
outstanding loans on one property,  net of reserves, of approximately $84,000 as
of June 30, 1996.

         Acquisitions   -  Since  May  1992,   Wedgestone   has  acquired  three
manufacturing operations. In June 1992, Wedgestone acquired St. James Automotive
Corp. ("St.  James") in exchange for 6,795,220 shares of beneficial  interest of
Wedgestone  and accounted for this  acquisition  as a purchase.  On November 18,
1994,  Wedgestone acquired the Automotive Segment of Standun,  Inc. ("Standun"),
which  consisted  of the Fey  Automotive  Products  Division  ("Fey")  and Sigma
Plating  Co.,  Inc.  ("Sigma") in exchange for  6,795,223  shares of  beneficial
interest  of  Wedgestone  and the  assumption  of  approximately  $1,104,000  of
outstanding  debt due to related  parties of both  Wedgestone  and Standun,  and
certain  other  liabilities.  The  shareholders  of Standun  owned,  directly or
indirectly,  approximately  48% of Wedgestone prior to the acquisition and, as a
result, this acquisition was accounted for as a "put-together"  which is similar
to the pooling of interest  method of accounting.  On January 9, 1995 Wedgestone
acquired substantially all of the assets of Hercules Bumpers, Inc. ("Hercules").
The purchase  price for the assets  acquired was the  assumption of certain debt
and other liabilities  approximating $5.1 million. In addition,  certain debt is
being guaranteed jointly and severally by Charles W. Brady ("Brady"), the former
principal  shareholder  of  Hercules,   and  Chattahoochee  Leasing  Corporation
("CLC"),  a  corporation  controlled by Brady.  In exchange for this  guarantee,
Brady received a promissory note in the amount of $300,000 and 1,200,000  shares
of beneficial interest of Wedgestone. In consideration for an agreement to pay a
liability of Hercules,  CLC  received a promissory  note for $100,000  which was
secured by 100,000 shares of beneficial  interest of Wedgestone.  In June, 1995,
the Company exercised its right under the CLC Agreement and acquired the note by
issuing these shares to CLC. (See Note 3 -- Discontinued Operations)

         Basis  of   Presentation   and  Principles  of   Consolidation   -  The
accompanying   consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  operations  of
Wedgestone and its wholly owned  subsidiaries and give retroactive effect to the
discontinued  operations of Hercules (see Note 3). All significant  intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The financial  statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared
by the Company,  without  audit,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such
rules and regulations.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995, and Form 8-K's issued March 5, 1996 and April 18, 1996.

NOTE 3.      Discontinued Operations

         On March 5, 1996, the Company  discontinued  operations of its Hercules
manufacturing  facility  in  Pelham,  Georgia.  Hercules  manufactured  and sold
bumpers under dealer direct and dealer oriented distributor programs. Subsequent
to March 31, 1996,  on April 18, 1996,  the Board of  Directors  authorized  and
completed  the  sale  of  the  Company's  stock  ownership  in  Hercules  to MBC
Corporation for nominal  consideration  pursuant to a Stock Purchase  Agreement.
Both the closure of the Pelham  facility and the subsequent sale of the stock of
Hercules have been recorded as a disposal of a segment of business.

         The net  assets  (liabilities)  of  discontinued  operations  have been
segregated in the December 31, 1995 Consolidated  Balance Sheets as follows: (In

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
            and Results of Operations

General

         Wedgestone  (the  "Company")  is  primarily  engaged in the business of
manufacturing  automotive  products  for the light duty truck  aftermarket.  The
Company  has two plants in  California  and one in  Minnesota.  It  markets  its
products under various tradenames including Fey, Westin and Tuffbar.
         On April 18, 1996,  the Company  sold its stock in Hercules  Automotive
Products,  Inc. to MBC Corporation,  a Minnesota  corporation.  Hercules,  whose
products were primarily marketed through dealer oriented programs, had failed to
meet  expectations  since  being  acquired  in  January  1995.  The  results  of
operations  discussed  below do not  include  the  results  of the  discontinued
Hercules business segment for the periods presented.

Results of Operations

         The light duty truck market  continued to grow in the second quarter of
1996.  Total  Company  sales for this period grew by 23% over the same period in
1995. Growth in the sales of Westin step bars and grille guards  represented 91%
of the total sales increase for the quarter  reflecting  the market's  continued
acceptance of the Westin line of tubular accessories.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995

         Revenues:  Net  sales  from  continuing  operations  increased  23%  to
$11,840,000  for the second  quarter of 1996 compared to $9,652,000 for the same
period in 1995. Sales of Westin tubular products accounted for 91% or $2,000,000
of this increase.

         Gross  Profits:  Gross  profits  increased  19% to $4,219,000 or 36% of
sales for the period  compared to $3,546,000 or 37% of sales for the same period
in 1995. The decline in margin percentage in 1996 over 1995 is due to short term
costs  incurred  in  response  to the 80% growth of Westin  business  within the
quarter.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses:  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  increased 20% to $2,863,000 for the period compared to
$2,382,000 in 1995.  Distribution and selling costs incurred on additional sales
volumes  accounted  for  65% or  $311,000  of  this  increase.  Advertising  and
promotion  expenses  accounted for $143,000 of the increase and expenditures for
legal and audit costs accounted for the remainder or $27,000.

         Interest  Expense:  Interest expense  increased 29% to $234,000 for the
period  compared to $182,000 in 1995.  This  increase was due to  financing  the
growth in working  capital  required to meet the increase in second quarter 1996
sales.

         Net Income  from  Continuing  Operations:  Net income  from  continuing
operations  increased  9% to $916,000 for the second  quarter  1996  compared to
$837,000 for the same period in 1995.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

         Revenues:  Net  sales  from  continuing  operations  increased  14%  to
$21,623,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $18,929,000  for
the same period in 1995. Sales of Westin tubular  products  accounted for 97% or
$2,600,000 of this increase.

         Gross  Profits:  Gross  profits  increased  17% to $7,498,000 or 35% of
sales for the six month period  compared to  $6,398,000  or 34% of sales for the
same period in 1995.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses:  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  increased 14% to  $5,308,000  for the six month period
compared to $4,661,000 for 1995.  Distribution,  selling and  promotional  costs
incurred to achieve  rising sales volumes were 74% of this increase or $477,000.
Administrative  costs  totaling  $170,000 made up the balance of this  increase.
Included in administrative expense increases were

                                       -8-

<PAGE>



audit and legal fees  totaling  $69,000.  Insurance and other  management  costs
comprise the balance of the increase in administrative costs.

         Interest  Expense:  Interest expense  increased 14% to $453,000 for the
six  month  period  compared  to  $397,000  in 1995.  This  increase  was due to
financing  the working  capital  growth  required to meet the increase in second
quarter 1996 sales.

         Net Income  from  Continuing  Operations:  Net income  from  continuing
operations  increased  32% to  $1,442,000  for the six month period  compared to
$1,092,000 in 1995.  This increase was primarily due to increased  volumes and a
more favorable product mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         To date,  Wedgestone has financed its business  activities through cash
flow from  operations.  Additional debt has been incurred  primarily for working
capital and acquisitions.

         For the six months  ended  June 30,  1996,  cash flows from  operations
totaling   $1,904,000  were  supplemented  by  additional  advances  from  trade
creditors totaling $1,076,000. The Company invested $3,275,000 of this cash flow
in working  capital  including  $2,225,000 in trade  receivables and $922,000 in
inventories. This resulted in net cash used in operating activities of $295,000.
Cash used in operating activities,  additional investments in equipment totaling
$346,000  and  repayments  of long term debt  totaling  $436,000  were offset by
$1,072,000 in additional borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit
and proceeds from the sale of equipment and other  property  totaling  $220,000,
resulting in a net increase in cash of $215,000  compared to a $37,000 reduction
for the same period in 1995.

         Wedgestone  has  borrowings  outstanding  from a related party totaling
$594,000 (the  "Rockaway  Loan") as of June 30, 1996,  which mature in September
1996.  Under  this  credit  agreement,  the  borrowings  are  collateralized  by
substantially all of the assets of the Company.

         In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of the  Automotive  Segment  of
Standun, Inc., Wedgestone,  through certain wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  entered
into a $7.5 million  revolving  credit line with a financial  institution  which
expires in 1997. The credit line provides for borrowings  (minimum borrowings of
$4 million  are  required)  based on a  percentage  of  inventory  and  accounts
receivable.  Interest on the outstanding borrowings accrued at prime, plus 2.5%.
The agreement also includes  equipment term loans  approximating $1.0 million at
June 30, 1996.  The  agreement  contains  certain  covenants  which  require the
maintenance of minimum working capital and equity.

         To  the  extent  that  Wedgestone  expands  its  operations  and  makes
additional  acquisitions,  it  will  need  to  obtain  additional  funding  from
institutional  lenders and other sources.  Wedgestone's ability to use equity in
obtaining funding may be limited by its desire to preserve certain tax atributes
including its net operating loss carry forwards.
