                      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 June 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are considered 
impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $4,873,000.  Included in this amount is 
$2,848,000 of impaired loans for which the related SFAS No. 114 allowance 
for loan losses is $806,000 and $2,025,000 of impaired loans that do not 
have a related SFAS No. 114 allowance for loan losses.  During the second 
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company recognized $108,000 
and $188,000 of interest for the respective three and six month periods.  
The average impaired loan balances for the respective three and six month 
periods were $4,945,000 and $5,008,000.  This amount was recognized on an 
accrual basis which did not vary significantly from a cash basis.

second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 the aggregate amount of 
interest income recorded on these restructured loans was $37,000 and 
$75,000, 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 $91,000, respectively.

The Company had net income of $294,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 
1995, compared to net income of $302,000 for the second quarter 1994.

Total interest income for the second quarter ended June 30, 1995 increased 
by $229,000, or 11%, when compared to the second quarter of 1994.  The 
increase was primarily due to an increase in loan interest income of 
$183,000, or 16%, 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 increased by $25,000, or 3%, due to higher 
interest rates earned, and increased average investment balances 
outstanding.

Total interest expense for the second quarter ended June 30, 1995 increased 
by $159,000, or 23% 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 second quarter of 1995 increased by $70,000, 
or 5%, from the second quarter of 1994 due to the factors discussed 
previously.

Interest income on loans for the six month period ending June 30, 1995 
increased by $275,000, or 12%, when compared to the corresponding six month 
period in 1994.  Interest income on investments increased by $102,000, or 
6%, for the six months ended June 30, 1995 versus the six months ended June 
30, 1994.  Interest income from federal funds sold for the six month period 
ended June 30, 1995 increased by $42,000 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 six month period ended June 30, 1995 
increased by $258,000, or 19%, when compared to the corresponding six month 
period in 1994.  The factors contributing to the increase in total interest 
expense were consistent with those cited earlier for the second quarter 1995 
versus 1994.

Net interest income for the six month period 1995 increased by $161,000, or 
6%, from the corresponding period in 1994 due to the factors discussed 
previously.

For the first and second quarters of 1995 the provision for loan losses was 
$0 as compared to a provision for $15,000 and $30,000 in the respective 
first and second quarters of 1994.  Management continues to monitor and 
review its loan portfolio and the adequacy of loan loss reserves.  In the 
first six months of 1995 the loan charge-offs of $12,000 were offset by 
recoveries of loans of $43,000 to show a net increase in the reserve for 
loan losses of $31,000 from year end 1994.

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

The allowance for loan losses of $2,045,000, or 207% of nonaccrual loans and 
4.0% of outstanding loans at June 30, 1995 was at a level considered 
necessary by management to reflect the level of risk in the loan portfolio.

The effect of nonperforming loans caused interest income to be reduced by $0 
and $0, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 as 
compared to $10,000 and $21,000, respectively for the comparable periods 
ending June 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 June 30, 1995, the recorded 
investment in loans that are considered impaired under SFAS No. 114 was 
$4,873,000 which includes $987,000 of loans accounted for on a nonaccrual 
basis and was 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 second 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 June 30, 1995.

The second quarter of 1995 showed gains on other real estate owned of 
$26,000 and $24,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The losses on 
other real estate of $38,000 were offset by income on other real estate of 
$62,000 for the 1995 six month period.  Losses on other real estate owned 
were $41,000 and $153,000, respectively, for the respective three and six 
months ended and June 30, 1994. 

Net gains on sales of investment securities were $0 and $2,000, 
respectively, for the second quarters of 1995 and 1994 and $0 and $24,000, 
respectively, for the six months period ending June 30, 1995 and 1994.  In 
the second quarter of 1994 total gains were $2,000 while total losses were 
$0.  For the six month period in 1994 gains on the sale of securities was 
$57,000 and losses on securities sales was $33,000.  At June 30, 1995 the 
Company's available for sale investment portfolio had a net unrealized loss 
of $581,000 ($234,000, net of tax) and the held to maturity investment 
portfolio had a net unrealized loss of $126,000.

Other operating income decreased by $72,000, or 13% in the second quarter 
1995 versus the second quarter of 1994.  The primary reason for the decrease 
was reduced deposit fees of $29,000, mortgage servicing income of $25,000, 
and several other fee income accounts totaling $18,000, when comparing 1995 
versus 1994.

Other operating income increased by $32,000, or 3% in the first six months 
of 1995 versus the first six months of 1994.  The primary reason for the 
increase was a gain from the sale of the assets in an employee trust of 
$184,000 offset by reduced deposit fees of $69,000 and reduced gains on loan 
sales of $45,000.  The assets in the employee trust were primarily equity 
securities which were sold to take advantage of existing stock prices which 
management believed were not sustainable and the sales proceeds were 
invested in U.S. Treasury securities to eliminate the risk associated with 
investing in the stock market at its current levels.

Other operating expenses decreased by $94,000, or 6%, in the second quarter 
of 1995 versus the second quarter of 1994.  The primary reason for the 
decrease was reduced salaries and benefits of $92,000, reduced occupancy 
expenses of $32,000, offset in part by increased in several other expenses 
totaling $30,000.  Expenses for the previously mentioned merger of $110,000 
are included in the second quarter.

Other operating expenses decreased by $31,000, or 1% in the first six months 
of 1995 versus the first six months of 1994.  The primary reason for the 
decrease was increased office supplies and printing expenses of $53,000 
offset in part by decreased salaries and benefits of $74,000, and several 
other expenses totaling $10,000.  Expenses for the previously mentioned 
merger of $217,000 are included in the six month expenses.

The Company recorded tax provisions of $180,000 and $399,000, respectively, 
in the three and six month period of 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 $294,000 and $643,000 for the three month and six month periods ended 
June 30, 1995 as compared to net income of $302,000 and $635,000 for the 
corresponding periods in 1994.

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

Net income per share was $.13 and $.29 for the respective three and six 
months ended June 30, 1995 and $.14 and $.29 for the corresponding periods 
in 1994.

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

Total assets at June 30, 1995 increased by $1,934,000, or 1% from December 
1994.  The total investment portfolio increased by $505,000, or 1% while net 
loans increased by $542,000, or 1% at June 30, 1995 as compared to year end 
1994.

Stockholders' equity at June 30, 1995 was $10,910,000, an increase of 
$1,989,000 from December 31, 1994.  The increase was a result of the 
decrease in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale of 
$1,341,000 (net of tax) and by net income of $643,000.  The decrease in the 
unrealized loss on securities available for sale included in equity is due 
to the declining interest rate environment during the six month period.

The Company and its banking subsidiary, Cornerstone 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 
June 30, 1995.

The above capital ratios table does not include the net unrealized loss on 
securities available for sale of $581,000.

LIQUIDITY

sold and short term investments.  At June 30, 1995, approximately 
$29,835,000, or 46.7%, 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 $41,767,000 of investment securities 
as available for sale.  These investments are accordingly carried at market 
value.  At June 30, 1995, market value was below the cost of these 
investments by $581,000.
