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  September  30,  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 nine months ended  September  30,
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   ($43,000)
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, compared to a
loss of ($112,000) for the nine month period ended September  30,
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  September  30,  1995, the Corporation  had  $1.2  million  in
assets,  $1.3  million  in total liabilities,  $19.8  million  in
redeemable  preferred  stock,  and  a  stockholders'  deficit  of
($19.7) 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.

Despite its negative net worth position, the Corporation  is  not
insolvent  under  Rhode Island law since it is able  to  pay  its
debts  as  they become due in the usual course of business.   The
Corporation  is considering various options with respect  to  its
financial position during the fourth quarter.

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 increased $18,000 for the three month period  ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.   This
increase  was primarily attributable to an increase in securities
gains  of  $2,000, and an increase in other income of $20,000  in
the 1995 period over the comparable period in 1994.  Total income
year  to date decreased by $20,000 as compared to the same period
in  1994.   The decrease was primarily attributable to reductions
in other income of $14,000 and a reduction in securities gains of
$5,000  in  the 1995 period over the comparable period  in  1994.
The  decrease  in other income is due primarily to  a  lower  fee
income generated by Old Stone Securities.

Interest  income  was  $8,000 and $12,000 respectively,  for  the
three  month  periods ended September 30, 1995 and  1994.   Other
income was $58,000 for the three month period ended September 30,
1995,  compared  to  $38,000 for the  three  month  period  ended
September 30, 1994.

Total  expenses decreased $5,000 for the three month period ended
September  30, 1995 as compared to the three month  period  ended
September 30, 1994.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a
reduction in salaries and benefits of $15,000 over the comparable
period  in  1994 offset by an increase in all other  expenses  of
$10,000.

Total expenses year to date decreased $44,000 as compared to  the
same period in 1994.  The decrease was primarily attributable  to
a decrease in salaries and benefits of $42,000.

The Corporation's primary operating expenses have been insurance,
legal  and  accounting fees as well as the operating expenses  of
OSSC.  Operating expenses (including salaries and benefits)  were
$173,000  for  the three month period ended September  30,  1995,
compared  to  $178,000 for the same period  in  1994.   Operating
expenses year to date were $417,000 compared to $461,000 for  the
same period in 1994.

As a result of the foregoing, the Corporation reported a net loss
of  ($93,000) for the three month period ended September 30, 1995
compared to a net loss of ($116,000) for the same period in 1994.

The  loss per share available for common stockholders was  ($.09)
for  the  three month period ended September 30, 1995  after  the
deduction of preferred dividends of $677,000.  The loss per share
available for common stockholders was ($.10) for the three  month
period  ended September 30, 1994 after the deduction of preferred
dividends  of  $677,000.  No preferred or common  dividends  have

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 number
of   directors  of  the  Corporation  at  the  next  meeting   of
stockholders  at  which directors are to be elected.   Until  the
aggregate  deficiency is declared and fully paid on the Preferred
Stock, the Corporation may not declare any dividends or make  any
other  distributions on or redeem the Common  Stock.   The  total
amount of the arrearage as of September 30, 1995 was $10,050,373.
