CORNERSTONE REALTY FUND, LLC

(a California Limited Liability Company)

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.             Organization and Business

Cornerstone Realty Fund, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Fund”) (formerly Cornerstone Multi-Tenant Industrial Business Parks Fund, LLC and Cornerstone Industrial Properties Income and Growth Fund I, LLC), was formed on October 28, 1998.  The members of the Fund are Cornerstone Industrial Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company, as the Managing Member (“Managing Member”), Terry G. Roussel, an individual, and other various unitholders as described below.  The purpose of the Fund is to acquire, operate and sell multi-tenant industrial properties.  The Fund currently is issuing and selling in a public offering equity interests (“units”) in the Fund, and is admitting the new unitholders as members of the Fund.  As of May 9, 2005, the Fund has issued  74,150 units to unitholders for gross offering proceeds of $37,075,000.

The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Fund have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission filing requirements for Form 10-Q, the condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  The condensed financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Fund’s customary accounting practices.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.

Each member’s liability is limited pursuant to the provisions of the Beverly-Killea Limited Liability Company Act.  The term of the Fund shall continue until December 31, 2010, unless terminated sooner pursuant to the operating agreement.

The operating agreement, as amended and restated, provides, among other things, for the following:

The Managing Member generally has complete and exclusive discretion in the management and control of the Fund; however, unitholders holding the majority of all outstanding and issued units have certain specified voting rights which include the removal and replacement of the Managing Member.

Net Cash Flow from Operations, as defined, will be distributed 90% to the unitholders and 10% to the Managing Member until the unitholders have received either an 8% or 12% cumulative, non-compounded annual return on their Invested Capital Contributions, as defined. The 12% return applies to specified early investors for the twelve-month period subsequent to the date of their Invested Capital Contributions and is in lieu of the 8% return during that period.

7

Net Sales Proceeds, as defined, will be distributed first, 100% to the unitholders in an amount equal to their Invested Capital Contributions; then, 90% to the unitholders and 10% to the Managing Member until the unitholders have received an amount equal to the unpaid balance of their aggregate cumulative, non-compounded annual return on their Invested Capital Contributions; and thereafter, 50% to the unitholders and 50% to the Managing Member.

Net Income, as defined, is allocated first, 10% to the Managing Member and 90% to the unitholders until Net Income allocated equals cumulative Net Losses, as defined, previously allocated in such proportions; second, in proportion to and to the extent of Net Cash Flow from Operations and Net Sales Proceeds previously distributed to the members, exclusive of distributions representing a return of Invested Capital Contributions; and then 50% to the Managing Member and 50% to the unitholders.

Net Loss is allocated first, 50% to the Managing Member and 50% to the unitholders, until Net Loss allocated equals cumulative Net Income previously allocated in such proportions; then remaining Net Loss is allocated 10% to the Managing Member and 90% to the unitholders.

All allocations and distributions to the unitholders are to be pro rata in proportion to their share of the allocations and distributions.

2.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ materially from the estimates in the near term.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of interest-bearing money market investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase.  Included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2005 is $184,598 related to tenant security deposits.  The Fund places its cash with major financial institutions.  At times, cash balances may be in excess of amounts insured by Federal agencies.  Approximately $11,000,000 in cash balances was in excess of Federal insurance limits as of March 31, 2005.

Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are stated at cost and include land, buildings and building improvements.  Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred.  Significant replacements, betterments and tenant improvements, which improve or extend the useful lives of the buildings, are capitalized.  Depreciation of the buildings and building improvements is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 39 years.  Tenant improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful asset life or the related lease term.

The Fund evaluates the carrying value for investments in real estate for impairment in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”).  FAS 144 requires that when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable, companies should

8

evaluate the need for an impairment write-down.  When an impairment write-down is required, the related assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value.

In June 2001 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  SFAS No. 141 and No. 142 require the Fund to record at acquisition an intangible asset or liability for the value attributable to in-place leases.  The requirements are applicable to all acquisitions subsequent to July 1, 2001.  As of March 31 2005, the Fund has recorded $291,590 as an intangible asset attributable to the value of the leases in place as of the date of acquisition.  Amortization as of March 31, 2005 was $163,793.

 Leasing Commissions

Leasing commissions are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenues are recorded on an accrual basis as they are earned over the lives of the respective tenant leases on a straight-line basis.  Included in this calculation are contractual rent increases and amounts paid to tenants as tenant improvement allowances. Rental receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Fund believes that the recorded values of all financial instruments approximate their current values.

Income Tax Matters

It is the intent of the Fund and its members that the Fund be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes.  As a limited liability company, the Fund is subject to certain minimal taxes and fees; however, income taxes on the income or losses realized by the Fund are generally the obligation of the members.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Fund maintains its cash at banks with federally insured accounts and uninsured money market funds.  The amounts are substantially uninsured.  No losses have been experienced related to such amounts.

3.             Investments in Real Estate

On September 27, 2002, the Fund acquired an existing multi-tenant industrial business park known as Normandie Business Center, located in Torrance, California for an investment of $3,901,696.  Normandie Business Center consists of two single-story buildings containing a total of 48,711 (unaudited) leasable square feet.

On December 27, 2002, the Fund acquired an existing multi-tenant industrial business park known as the Sky Harbor Business Park, located in Northbrook, Illinois for an investment of $2,553,996.  Sky Harbor Business Park consists of a single-story building containing a total of 41,422 (unaudited) leasable square feet.

9

On December 10, 2003, the Fund acquired an existing multi-tenant industrial park known as Arrow Business Center located in Irwindale, California for an investment of $5,910,579.  The property consists of three single-story buildings containing a total of 69,592 (unaudited) leasable square feet.

On January 25, 2005, the Fund acquired an existing multi-tenant business park in Glenview, Illinois known as Zenith Drive Centre from an independent third party.  Zenith Drive Centre is a single story three building property built in 1978 of approximately 38,088 (unaudited) square feet on approximately 2.54 (unaudited) acres of land.  The acquisition price was $5,200,000 plus $43,732 of closing costs.

Included in the acquisition and purchase price of Zenith Drive Centre were a billboard sign and cellular relay antenna located on the property leased to a large media company and communications company, respectively.  Management separately valued these leases and the resulting amounts are included in intangible lease value.  The value of these leases is amortized over the remaining respective terms.

Industrial space in the properties is generally leased to tenants under lease terms that provide for the tenants to pay increases in operating expenses in excess of specified amounts.

4.             Related Party Transactions

The Managing Member incurs specific incremental costs in connection with the offering of membership units.  Reimbursement of such offering costs is limited to 4% of the gross proceeds of the related offerings.  Offering costs incurred by the Managing Member in excess of the 4% limitation are deferred, and will be reimbursed from future offering proceeds.  Any offering costs incurred by the Managing Member that are not reimbursed by the Fund will be reflected as a capital contribution to the Fund by the Managing Member, with an offsetting expense recognized in the Fund’s statement of operations.

Unrecovered offering costs incurred by the Managing Member for the three months ending March 31, 2005 are as follows:

Balance, December 31, 2004	$	443,690
Costs incurred	45,354
Costs paid	(206,220		)
Balance, March 31, 2005	$	282,824

Currently the Fund is distributing a 5% annual return paid quarterly.  During the three months ended March 31 2005, the Managing Member funded $200,980 to subsidize the Fund’s distributions to the unitholders.  This funding by the Managing Member will not be reimbursed to the Managing Member by the Fund.

The Managing Member and/or its affiliates are entitled to receive various fees, compensation and reimbursements as specified in the Fund’s operating agreement, including commissions of 7%, marketing fees of 2% of gross proceeds from the offering of units, and expense allowances of 1.5% of gross proceeds from the offering of units. During the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the total fees, compensation and reimbursements were $541,328 and $235,620, respectively.

5.      Subsequent Event

On April 28, 2005, the Fund purchased an existing multi-tenant industrial park known as Paramount Business Center, a single-story two building property of approximately 30,157 square feet of

10

leasable space on approximately 1.66 acres of land in Paramount, California.  The acquisition price was $3,100,000 plus approximately $55,000 of closing costs (which are not fully determined as of the date of this report), which equates to approximately $105 per square foot of leasable space.  As of March 31, 2005, the Fund had deposited $150,000 in escrow, which was non-refundable except for certain seller defaults.  The Fund purchased this property for all cash, without debt financing.

Item 2.       Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.  Certain statements in this section and elsewhere contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements may relate to risks and other factors that may cause the Fund’s future results of operations to be materially different than those expressed or implied herein.  Some of these risks and other factors include, but are not limited to:  (i) no assurance that Fund properties will experience minimal or no vacancy; (ii) tenants may not be able to meet their financial obligations; (iii) rental revenues from the properties may not be sufficient to meet the Fund’s cash requirements for operations, capital requirements and distributions; (iv) suitable investment properties may not continue to be available; and (v) adverse changes to the general economy may disrupt operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Fund’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially from the estimates in the near term.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenues are recorded on an accrual basis as they are earned over the lives of the respective tenant leases on a straight-line basis.  Rental receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility.

Investments in Real Estate

The Fund evaluates the carrying value for investments in real estate in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”).  FAS 144 requires that when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable, companies should evaluate the need for an impairment write-down.  When an impairment write-down is required, the related assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value.

In June 2001 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  SFAS No. 141 and No. 142 require the Fund to record at acquisition an intangible asset or liability for the value attributable to in-place leases.  The requirements are applicable to all acquisitions subsequent to July 1, 2001.  As of March 31, 2005, the Fund has recorded $291,590 as an intangible asset attributable to the value of the leases in place as of the date of acquisition.  Amortization as of March 31, 2005 totaled $163,793.

11

Off-balance Sheet Financings and Liabilities

Other than lease commitments and legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business, the Fund does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities.  The Fund does not have any majority-owned subsidiaries or any interests in, or relationships with, any special-purpose entities.

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 2005, the Fund has purchased four multi-tenant industrial business park properties in two different major metropolitan areas.  The properties were purchased from the proceeds from the sale of membership units, without debt financing. The properties were purchased in the latter parts of September 2002, December 2002, December 2003 and January 2005.  As a result of the dates of purchase, Fund operations for 2005 reflect the net income from four properties for two of the three months.  For the three months ended March 31, 2004, Fund operations reflect operations for three properties.

Three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

   The Fund’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $161,799 and $86,845, respectively.  Revenue increased from $301,503 to $433,068.  These increases primarily reflect the addition of Zenith Drive Centre, purchased in January 2005 and the rent increases from the other properties.  Property operating and maintenance expenses, and property taxes increased from $129,951 in 2004 to $174,526 in 2005 due to the addition of the new property.  Depreciation and amortization increased from $51,511 to $94,628 due to the purchase of Zenith Drive Centre.

Interest income increased to $32,650 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $343 for the same period in 2004.  The increase was primarily due to a significant increase in invested cash balances and the rise in short-term interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2005, the Fund has received $34,704,000 ($37,075,000 as of May 9, 2005) of gross proceeds from the sale of membership units, and $685,419 as a capital contribution from the Managing Member.  As of March 31, 2005, the Fund has $11,329,101 ($10,408,387 at May 9, 2005) in cash and cash equivalents.

The Fund intends to continue offering membership units for sale and use the existing cash balance and net proceeds from the sale of units for the acquisition of additional multi-tenant industrial business park properties, capital improvements to the properties, and for operating expenses and reserves.

The Fund expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements from net cash generated by operations, which we believe will be adequate to meet operating costs of the properties and the Fund, and allow for cash distributions to the unitholders.

The Managing Member has financed the Fund’s offering and organizational activities.  A portion of those costs have been reimbursed to the Managing Member at the rate of 4% of gross proceeds of the Fund’s unit sales pursuant to the prospectus for the offering.  The Fund will continue to incur organizational and offering expenses and the Managing Member, although not obligated, intends to continue providing advances for offering and organizational expenses until the sale of membership units is completed.  The Managing Member must raise funds through the sale of its own debt or equity

12

securities to obtain the cash necessary to provide these advances.  There can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of the Managing Member’s receipt of funds.  The Fund will not reimburse the Managing Member for any amounts advanced by it for offering and organizational expenses, which exceed the amounts and percentages, set forth in the prospectus for the offering.  Any such expenses incurred by the Managing Member on behalf of the Fund that are not reimbursed by the Fund will be reflected as a capital contribution to the Fund by the Managing Member with an offsetting expense recognized in the Fund’s statement of operations.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2005, the Fund had a contractual commitment, subject to certain closing conditions, to purchase the Paramount Business Center for a purchase price of $3,100,000.  This transaction was completed on April 28, 2005.  There were no other significant contractual obligations or commercial commitments as of March 31, 2005, other than leases with the tenants that occupy our commercial buildings.

Item 3.       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Fund invests its cash and cash equivalents in short term money market accounts, which, by their nature, are not subject to significant interest rate fluctuations.

Item 4.       Controls and Procedures

On March l7, 2005, the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm notified the Fund’s Audit Committee that they had identified two material weaknesses regarding the Fund’s internal controls.  The weaknesses noted were the lack of sufficient management oversight over and the proper segregation of duties of the accounting department with respect to accounting, financial reporting and disclosure. Management of the Fund has informed the Audit Committee that it is in process of hiring appropriate personnel and making changes in assigned roles and responsibilities to correct for such weaknesses.

The Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Fund files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Fund’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Cornerstone Ventures, Inc., the manager of the Managing Member of the Fund, have reviewed the effectiveness of the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on our evaluation, we do not believe that the control weaknesses noted above led to any material misstatements in the financial statements included in this report.  As noted above, we are in the process of hiring appropriate personnel and making changes in assigned roles and responsibilities which we believe will correct the control weaknesses we have identified.

While we are in the process of taking the foregoing steps and developing and implementing a formal set of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the efficacy of the steps we have taken to date and steps we are still in the process of completing is subject to continued management review supported by confirmation and testing by management and by our auditors.  As a result, we anticipate that additional changes will be made to our internal controls and procedures.  Other than the foregoing initiatives, no change in our internal control

13

over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.  In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.  Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
