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, 1997 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, 1997 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  December 31, 1997.  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, 1996.  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 ($42,233) for the six month
period  ended June 30, 1997,  compared to a loss of ($42,415)  for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996.

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, 1997,  the  Corporation  had $.5 million in assets,  $1.1 million in
total  liabilities,   $20.2  million  in  redeemable   preferred  stock,  and  a
stockholders'  deficit of ($20.8)  million,  compared  to $.6 million in assets,
$1.2 million in total liabilities,  $20.1 million in redeemable  preferred stock
and stockholders' deficit of ($20.7) million at December 31, 1996.

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 $20,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996. This decrease was primarily attributable to
a decrease in other income of $15,000,  and an decrease in  securities  gains of
$6,000 in the 1997 period over the comparable  period in 1996. Total income year
to date  decreased  by  $27,000  as  compared  to the same  period in 1996.  The
decrease was primarily attributable to reductions in other income of $22,000 and
a reduction in securities gains of $5,000 in the 1997 period over the comparable
period in 1996.

Interest income was $6,000 and $5,000 respectively,  for the three month periods
ended June 30,  1997 and 1996.  Other  income was  $28,000  for the three  month
period ended June 30, 1997, compared to $43,000 for the three month period ended
June 30, 1996.

Total expenses  decreased $43,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997
as compared to the three month  period  ended June 30,  1996.  The  decrease was
attributable  to a reduction in other  expenses of $34,000,  which was primarily
legal and professional expenses, over the comparable period in 1996.

Total expenses year to date decreased  $90,000 as compared to the same period in
1996,  which was primary  attributable  to a decrease in legal and  professional
fees.

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 $74,000 for the three month period ended
June 30,  1997,  compared  to $117,000  for the same  period in 1996.  Operating
expenses year to date were $155,000  compared to $245,000 for the same period in
1996.

As a result of the foregoing,  the Corporation  reported a net loss of ($30,000)
for the  three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1997  compared  to a net loss of
($53,000) for the same period in 1996.

The loss per share  available for common  stockholders  was ($.08) for the three
month period ended June 30, 1997 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, 1996 after the  deduction  of  preferred
dividends of $677,000. No preferred or common dividends have been paid since the
second quarter of 1991 and the  Corporation  does not expect to pay dividends in
the  foreseeable  future.  Further,  the  Corporation is prohibited  from paying
dividends on the Common Stock until the  aggregate  deficiency  on the preferred
stock  dividends is paid in full.  Total loss per share year to date, was ($.17)
as compared to ($.18) for the same period in 1996.

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.  The  Plaintiffs'  complaint  alleges that,  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 credits 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 supervisory
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  cause 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 alledged
breach of the  Corporation's  agreement to maintain the net worth of the Bank at
certain levels  prescribed by regulation.  The  Corporation  has filed an answer
denying such counterclaim.

The case is one of  several  similar  cases  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 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 been granted leave to intervene in the litigation on behalf
of the bank. The Corporation filed a Second Amended Complaint on April 18, 1997.

The Corporation is filing a Motion for Summary Judgment asking the Court to find
against Defendant on the issue of liability. If successful, the Corporation must
then prove the damages that it has incurred because of Defendant's  conduct.  No
prediction as to the outcome of this case can be made at this time.

                    Item 2. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

The  Corporation  discontinued  paying  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, 1997
was $14,447,413.
