NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES:

COMPANY DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Until January 28, 1993, Old Stone Corporation (The "Company" or
"OSC") was a unitary savings and loan holding company which
conducted substantially all of its business primarily through
its ownership of Old Stone Bank, a Federal Savings Bank and its
subsidiaries (the "Bank" or "Old Stone").  On January 29, 1993,
the Office of Thrift Supervision of the United States
Department of the Treasury (the "OTS") placed the Bank into
receivership due to the Bank being critically undercapitalized.
 The OTS created a new institution, Old Stone Federal Savings
Bank ("Old Stone Federal") to assume all deposits and certain
assets and liabilities of Old Stone.  The Resolution Trust
Corporation (the "RTC") was appointed Receiver to handle all
matters related to Old Stone and as Conservator of Old Stone
Federal.

As a result of the receivership of the Bank, the Company has
undergone material changes in the nature of its business and is
no longer operating as a unitary savings and loan holding
company.  As of March 31, 1995 the Company's business
activities included its only surviving subsidiary, Old Stone
Securities Company, a registered securities broker-dealer which
provides brokerage services to retail and institutional clients.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included and operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1995.  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Old Stone
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.  All material intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.  Certain previously reported
amounts have been restated to conform with the current
presentation.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Current Operations

As a result of the Bank Closing, the Corporation's present
business activities include its only surviving significant
subsidiary, Old Stone Securities Company, a registered
securities broker-dealer which provides brokerage services to
retail and institutional clients.

Old Stone Securities' loss before income taxes was $29,584 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1995, compared to a loss
of $34,902 for the three month period ended March 31, 1994.

Management has invested, and intends in the future to invest,
the Corporation's assets on a short-term basis.  While the
Corporation's Board of Directors has considered selling Old
Stone Securities, the Board has determined not to do so at the
present time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1995, the Corporation had $1.4 million in assets,
$1.3 million in total liabilities, $19.8 million in redeemable
preferred stock, and a stockholders' deficit of ($19.6)
million, compared to $1.5 million in assets, $1.3 million in
total liabilities, $19.7 million in redeemable preferred stock
and stockholders' deficit of ($19.5) million at December 31,
1994.

The Corporation's assets are currently being invested
short-term, and expenses have been reduced to a level that
management believes is commensurate with the Corporation's
current activities pending resolution of any potential claims.

Results of Operations

Total income decreased $14,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in other
income of $15,000 in the 1995 period over the comparable period
in 1994 offset by an increase in interest income of $2,000.

Interest income was $11,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995, compared to $11,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1994.  Other income was $32,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1995, compared to $47,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1994.  The decrease was
primarily due to lower fee income generated by Old Stone
Securities Company.

Total expenses decreased $14,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the three month period
ended March 31, 1994.  The decrease was primarily attributable
to a reduction in salaries and benefits of $13,000, over the
comparable period in 1994.  

The Corporation's primary operating expenses have been legal and
accounting expenses as well as the operating expenses of Old
Stone Securities Company.  Operating expenses (including
salaries and benefits) were $124,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1995, compared to $138,000 for the same period
in 1994.

As a result of the foregoing, the Corporation reported net loss
of $71,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1995,
compared to $71,000 for the same period in 1994.

The loss per share available for common stockholders was ($.09)
for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 after the
deduction of preferred dividends of $677,000.  The loss per
share available for common stockholders was ($.09) for the
three month period ended March 31, 1994 after the deduction of
preferred dividends of $677,000.  No preferred or common
dividends have been paid since the second quarter of 1991 and
the Corporation does not expect to pay dividends in the
foreseeable future.  Further, the Corporation is prohibited
from paying dividends on the Common Stock until the aggregate
deficiency on the preferred stock dividends is paid in full.

                  PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

   The Corporation discontinued dividends to holders of its
Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B (the
"Preferred Stock"), during 1991 and does not expect to pay any
dividends on such stock for the foreseeable future.  As a
result of the failure to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock
for more than four quarters, the holders of the Preferred Stock
collectively are entitled to elect a number of directors of the
Corporation constituting twenty percent (20%) of the total
