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 June 30, 1996 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  December 31, 1996.  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, 1995.  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 ($42,415) for the six month
period  ended June 30, 1996,  compared to a loss of ($44,000)  for the six month
period ended June 30, 1995.

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 June 30, 1996,  the  Corporation  had $.7 million in assets,  $1.1 million in
total  liabilities,   $20.0  million  in  redeemable   preferred  stock,  and  a
stockholders'  deficit of ($20.4)  million,  compared to $1.1 million in assets,
$1.4 million in total liabilities,  $19.9 million in redeemable  preferred stock
and stockholders' deficit of ($20.2) million at December 31, 1995.

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 $10,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995. This decrease was primarily attributable to
a decrease  in  interest  income of $7,000,  and a decrease  in other  income of
$10,000,  offset by an increase in securities gains of $7,000 in the 1996 period
over the  comparable  period in 1995.  Total  income year to date  decreased  by
$6,000 as  compared  to the same  period in 1995.  The  decrease  was  primarily
attributable to reductions in other income of $3,000 and a reduction in interest
income of $13,000  offset by an increase in  securities  gains of $10,000 in the
1996 period over the comparable period in 1995.

Interest income was $5,000 and $12,000 respectively, for the three month periods
ended June 30,  1996 and 1995.  Other  income was  $43,000  for the three  month
period ended June 30, 1996, compared to $53,000 for the three month period ended
June 30, 1995.

Total expenses  decreased  $3,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996
as compared to the three month  period  ended June 30,  1995.  The  decrease was
primarily  attributable  to a  reduction  in other  expenses  of $2,000 over the
comparable period in 1995.

Total expenses year to date  increased  $1,000 as compared to the same period in
1995.

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 $117,000 for the three month period ended
June 30,  1996,  compared  to $120,000  for the same  period in 1995.  Operating
expenses year to date were $245,000  compared to $244,000 for the same period in
1995.

As a result of the foregoing,  the Corporation  reported a net loss of ($53,000)
for the  three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1996  compared  to a net loss of
($46,000) for the same period in 1995.

The loss per share  available for common  stockholders  was ($.09) for the three
month period ended June 30, 1996 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 June 30, 1995 after the  deduction  of  preferred
dividends of $677,000. No preferred or common dividends have been paid since the
second quarter of 1991 and the  Corporation  does not expect to pay dividends in
the  foreseeable  future.  Further,  the  Corporation is prohibited  from paying
dividends on the Common Stock until the  aggregate  deficiency  on the preferred
stock  dividends is paid in full.  Total loss per share year to date, as well as
for the same period in 1995, was ($.18).

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                            Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     On  September  16,  1992,  the  Corporation  and  the  Bank  ("Plaintiffs")
instituted a suit against the United States  ("Defendant")  in the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims. In connection with certain  government-assisted  acquisitions by
Plaintiffs in the 1980's,  the Defendant  (through its agencies the Federal Home
Loan  Bank  Board   ("FHLBB")  and  the  Federal   Savings  and  Loan  Insurance
Corporation) in exchange for the Bank's  purchasing  certain assets and assuming
certain  liabilities  of  Defendant,   agreed  among  other  things  to  provide
Plaintiffs with certain  valuable  capital credits and authorized  Plaintiffs to
treat those credit as regulatory capital. The Defendant authorized Plaintiffs to
amortize  such  capital  credits  along  with  the  goodwill   created  by  such
acquisitions over a period of 25 to 30 years.

     Following the passage of the Financial  Institutions Reform,  Recovery, and
Enforcement Act in August, 1989, the Office of Thrift Supervision  (successor in
interest to the FHLBB)  required the Bank to discontinue  treating these capital
credits  as part of  regulatory  capital  and  caused  the  Bank  to  write  off
immediately  approximately $80 million of such capital credits and approximately
$10 million of such goodwill.  In this suit Plaintiffs allege breach of contract
by the United States, resulting in substantial injury to Plaintiffs, effecting a
taking of Plaintiffs' property without just compensation, and unjustly enriching
the Defendant at the expense of Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs seek compensation for the
damages caused by the breach,  just  compensation  for the property  taken,  and
disgorgement  of the amounts by which the Defendant has been unjustly  enriched.
The  Defendant  has filed a  counterclaim  against the  Corporation  for alleged
breach of the Corporation's net worth maintenance agreement. The Corporation has
filed an answer denying such counterclaim.

     The case is one of several  similar cased pending  before the U.S. Court of
Federal Claims. The case as to the Corporation was stayed pending the outcome of
certain  other  suits.  On July 1, 1996,  the U.S.  Supreme  Court held that the
Defendant  was liable to certain other  plaintiff  thrift  holding  companies in
cases  arising  out of  similar  sets of facts  (the  WINSTAR  litigation.)  The
Corporation  must now prove  that its facts are  similar  enough to the facts in
WINSTAR to fall within the WINSTAR holding,  and if successful,  must then prove
its damages. 

     The impact of the Bank Closing on the  Plaintiffs'  claims is unclear since
the amended complaint filed by the Corporation on September 28, 1995 named only
the Corporation as a plaintiff.  An agency of the Defendant now acts as receiver
for the Bank and has filed a motion for leave to intervene in the  litigation on
behalf of the Bank.  No prediction as to the outcome of this case can be made at
this time.

                     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 June 30, 1996
was $11,934,820.
