                    FIRESTONE FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)     Basis of Presentation

               The consolidated financial statements of Firestone Financial
Corp. and its subsidiary (the "Company") included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
such information. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations for the full year or any other interim period.

(2)     Merger of the Company

               Subsequent to September 30, 1997, on October 15, 1997, the
Company was acquired by UST Corp. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling
of interests and was structured as a tax-free exchange of 0.59 shares of UST
Corp. common stock for each of the 2.0 million issued and outstanding shares of
Company common stock. As all of the regulatory contingencies related to
consummation of the transaction were satisfied as of September 30, 1997, the
Company recorded a one-time charge in the amount of $714 thousand in
nonrecurring costs associated with the transaction.
