Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in the Cornerstone Bancorp (the "Company") 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders, which also contains the Company's audited financial statements for 2010 and is also included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cornerstone Bancorp, the parent company, and Cornerstone National Bank (the "Bank"), its wholly owned subsidiary, and Crescent Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. All significant intercompany items have been eliminated in the consolidated statements. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Management Opinion
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly they do not contain all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The financial statements in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
