financial statements.


                      CORNERSTONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  Interim Financial Data
- -------------------------------

Interim financial data is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, the 
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all 
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for 
a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.  Certain amounts 
in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current 
presentation.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for 
Impairment of a Loan" which was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 118 
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and 
Disclosures" in October 1994.  The Company adopted these statements 
effective January 1, 1995.  SFAS 114 modifies the accounting for impaired 
loans, defined as those loans where, based on current information and 
events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts 
due, both interest and principal, according to the contractual terms of the 
loan agreement.  Specifically, SFAS 114 requires that the allowance for loan 
losses related to impared loans be determined based on the present value of 
the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate, or, 
as a practical expedient, the loan's observable market price or the fair 
value of the loan's underlying collateral if the loan is collateral 
dependent.  For the most part, the Company uses an estimate of the fair 
value of the loan's underlying collateral to determine the allowance for 
loan losses related to impaired loans, as most loans to which SFAS 114 
applies are collateral dependent.  The Company has classified collateral 
dependent loans with significant shortfalls as impaired and has placed some 
of those impaired loans on nonaccrual status on the basis of repayment 
histories in which the borrowers have moved into past due status (i.e., when 
the loans are greater than 90 days past due) or when in management's 
judgement, the ultimate collectibility of principal or interest is doubtful.

In addition, SFAS No. 114 modified the accounting for in-substance 
foreclosures (ISF).  A collateralized loan is considered an ISF and 
reclassified to Other Real Estate Owned when the Company has received 
physical possession of the collateral regardless of whether formal 
foreclosure proceedings have taken place.  The adoption of these statements 
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or 
results of operations.  Instead, it resulted only in a reallocation of the 
existing allowance for loan losses.

SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, permits a creditor to use existing 
methods for recognizing interest income on impaired loans.  Generally, 
interest income received on an impaired loan either continues to be applied 
by the Company against principal or is realized as interest income, 
according the management's judgment as to the collectibility of principal.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 114, the Company accounted for troubled debt 
restructurings in accordance with SFAS 15, "Accounting by Debtors and 
Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings."

At September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are considered 
impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $4,811,000.  Included in this amount is 
$2,795,000 of impaired loans for which the related SFAS No. 114 allowance 
for loan losses is $773,000 and $2,016,000 of impaired loans that do not 
have a related SFAS No. 114 allowance for loan losses.  During the third 
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995, on loans that are 
considered impaired under SFAS 114, the Company recognized $95,000 and 
$283,000 of interest income for the respective three and nine month periods. 
 This amount was recognized on an accrual basis which did not vary 
significantly from a cash basis.  The average impaired loan balances for the 
respective three and nine month periods were $4,842,000 and $4,977,000.

At September 30, 1994, the Company had $2,143,000 in restructured loans.  
For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994 the aggregate 
amount of interest income recorded on these restructured loans was $37,000 
and $112,000, respectively, and the amount of income that would have been 
recorded had the restructured loans been current in their original terms was 
approximately $45,000 and $136,000, respectively.

</TABLE>

The Company had net income of $92,000 for the third quarter ended 
September 30, 1995, compared to net income of $449,000 for the third 
quarter 1994.

Total interest income for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995 
increased by $196,000, or 9.3%, when compared to the third quarter of 1994. 
The increase was primarily due to an increase in loan interest income of 
$193,000, or 16.6%, that was primarily attributable to increased loan 
balances outstanding, on average, in 1995 compared to 1994 and higher 
interest rates earned on these loan balances.

Investment interest income decreased by $84,000, or 8.9%, due to decreased 
average investment balances outstanding offset somewhat by higher interest 
rates earned on these balances.

Interest income from federal funds sold increased by $87,000 in the third 
quarter 1995 versus the third quarter 1994.  The higher federal funds 
balances were due to maturing investments remaining in federal funds to earn 
interest rates higher than two year Treasury securities.

Total interest expense for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995 
increased by $167,000, or 23.8% from the corresponding quarter in 1994.  The 
increase was primarily attributable to higher rates paid on interest bearing 
deposits as well as increased average balances of interest bearing 
liabilities.

Net interest income during the third quarter of 1995 increased by $29,000, 
or 2.1%, from the third quarter of 1994 due to the factors discussed 
previously.

Interest income on loans for the nine month period ending September 30, 1995 
increased by $468,000, or 13.4%, when compared to the corresponding nine 
month period in 1994.  Interest income on investments increased by $18,000, 
or 0.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 versus the nine months 
ended September 30, 1994.  Interest income from federal funds sold for the 
nine month period ended September 30, 1995 increased by $129,000 as compared 
to the corresponding period in 1994.  The increases in the interest income 
categories above were primarily attributable to higher rates earned on 
interest earning assets and increased average balances outstanding on these 
interest earning assets.

Total interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 
increased by $425,000, or 20.4%, when compared to the corresponding nine 
month period in 1994.  The factors contributing to the increase in total 
interest expense were consistent with those cited earlier for the third 
quarter 1995 versus 1994.

Net interest income for the nine month period 1995 increased by $190,000, or 
4.6%, from the corresponding period in 1994 due to the factors discussed 
previously.

For the three quarters of 1995 the provision for loan losses was $0 as 
compared to a provision for $15,000 and $45,000 in the respective third 
quarter and nine month period of 1994.  Management continues to monitor and 
review its loan portfolio and the adequacy of loan loss reserves.  In the 
first nine months of 1995 the loan charge-offs of $24,000 were offset by 
recoveries of loans of $61,000 resulting in a net increase in the reserve 
for loan losses of $37,000 from year end 1994.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for loan losses 
for the periods indicated:

Nonperforming loans did not cause any reduction in interest income for the 
three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $29,000 and 
$50,000, respectively for the comparable periods ending September 30, 1994, 
from that which would have been recorded had such loans remained current in 
accordance with their original terms.  There were no loans more than 90 days 
past due.  At September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are 
considered impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $4,811,000 which includes 
$956,000 of loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis to a single borrower. 
 At December 31, 1994, the Company had $2,481,000 of troubled debt 
restructurings involving a modification of terms.  In accordance with FAS 
114, for the third quarter of 1995, these same loans were evaluated for 
impairment based on their modified terms and, as a result, their current 
balances were included in the balance of impaired loans at September 30, 1995.

During the third quarter of 1995 losses on other real estate owned were 
$71,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 losses on OREO were 
$46,000.  Losses on other real estate owned were $7,000 and $160,000, 
respectively, for the three and nine months ended and September 30, 1994. 

Net gains on sales of investment securities were $0 and $22,000, 
respectively, for the third quarters of 1995 and 1994 and $0 and $46,000, 
respectively, for the nine month period ending September 30, 1995 and 1994. 
In the third quarter of 1994 total gains were $22,000 while total losses 
were $0.  For the nine month period in 1994 gains on the sale of securities 
were $79,000 and losses on securities sales were $33,000.  At September 30, 
1995 the Company's available for sale investment portfolio had a net 
unrealized loss of $514,000 ($190,000, net of tax) and the held to maturity 
investment portfolio had a net unrealized loss of $137,000.

Other operating income decreased by $44,000, or 8.7% in the third quarter 
1995 versus the third quarter of 1994.  The primary reason for the decrease 
were reduced deposit fees of $23,000, reduced lease financing income of 
$12,000, and reductions in other fee income accounts totaling $9,000.

Other operating income decreased by $13,000, or 0.8% in the first nine 
months of 1995 versus the first nine months of 1994.  The primary reason for 
the decrease was a gain from the sale of the assets in an employee trust of 
$184,000 offset by reduced deposit fees of $92,000 and reduced gains on loan 
sales of $40,000, reduced mortgage servicing income of $22,000, and lease 
financing income of $18,000.  The assets in the employee trust were 
primarily equity securities which were sold to take advantage of existing 
stock prices, and the sales proceeds were invested in U.S. Treasury 
securities to eliminate the risk associated with investing in the stock 
market.

Other operating expenses increased by $49,000, or 3.4%, in the third quarter 
of 1995 versus the third quarter of 1994.  Merger expenses were $226,000 in 
the 1995 third quarter.  These nonrecurring expenses were offset in part by 
reduced salaries and benefits of $34,000, and reduced FDIC insurance of 
$138,000 due to a change in the FDIC assessment rates on banks.

Other operating expenses increased by $18,000, or 0.3% in the first nine 
months of 1995 versus the first nine months of 1994.  The nonrecurring 
merger expenses of $443,000 were offset in part by reduced salaries and 
benefits of $100,000, reduced FDIC insurance of $87,000, reduced 
professional fees of $77,000, reduced occupancy expenses of $121,000, and 
several other reduced expenses totaling $40,000.

The Company recorded tax provisions of $222,000 and $621,000, respectively, 
in the three and nine month periods ending September 30,  1995 while 
recording no tax provisions in the comparable periods of 1994 primarily due 
to the realization of deferred tax assets.

As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company reported net income 
of $92,000 and $735,000 for the three month and nine month periods ended 
September 30, 1995 as compared to net income of $449,000 and  $1,084,000 for 
the corresponding periods in 1994.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
- ------------------

Net income per share was $.04 and $.34 for the respective three and nine 
months ended September 30, 1995 and $.21 and $.50 for the corresponding 
periods in 1994.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESERVES
- ----------------------------------------

Total assets at September 30, 1995 decreased by $1,668,000, or 1.2% from 
December 1994.  The total investment securities decreased by $4,994,000, or 
7.9% while net loans decreased by $199,000, or 0.4% at September 30, 1995 as 
compared to year end 1994.

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 1995 was $11,046,000, an increase of 
$2,125,000 from December 31, 1994.  The increase was a result of the 
decrease in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale of 
$1,385,000 (net of tax) and by net income of $735,000.  The decrease in the 
unrealized loss on securities available for sale included in equity is due 
to the declining interest rate environment during the nine month period.

The Company and its banking subsidiary, Cornerstone Bank (the "Bank"), are 
each required by regulation to maintain certain minimum capital ratios.  The 
following table summarizes the Company's and the Bank's capital ratios and 
amounts at September 30, 1995.

The above capital ratios table does not include the net unrealized loss on 
securities available for sale of $514,000.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------

The primary source of liquidity consists of debt securities, federal funds 
sold and short term investments.  At September 30, 1995, approximately 
$28,758,000, or 49.2%, of the investment portfolio matures or reprices in 
two years or less.  In addition, amortizing installment and mortgage loans, 
along with short term or direct reduction commercial loans, provide 
additional sources of funds for liquidity purposes.

Furthermore, management has designated $39,757,000 of investment securities 
as available for sale.  These investments are accordingly carried at market 
value.  At September 30, 1995, market value was below the cost of these 
investments by $514,000.
