CORNERSTONE REALTY FUND, LLC

(a California Limited Liability Company)

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.Organization and Business

Cornerstone Realty Fund, LLC is a California limited liability company that invests in multi-tenant business parks catering to small business tenants. We purchase existing, leased properties located in major metropolitan areas in the United States on an all cash basis without debt financing. We have purchased six properties as of the date of this report. As used in this report, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Cornerstone Realty Fund, LLC except where the context otherwise requires.

Our managing member is Cornerstone Industrial Properties, LLC (CIP), a California limited liability company. Cornerstone Ventures, Inc manages CIP. Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. is an experienced real estate operating company specializing in the acquisition, operation and repositioning of multi-tenant industrial business parks catering to small business tenants.

On August 7, 2001, we commenced a public offering of units of our membership interest pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On August 18, 2005, we completed our public offering of these units. As of that date, we had issued 100,000 units to unitholders for gross offering proceeds of $50,000,000, before discounts of $39,780.

Our interim unaudited condensed financial statements 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The interim unaudited 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, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

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:

CIP generally has complete and exclusive discretion in the management and control of our operations; 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

7

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.

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 ownership shares.

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 investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2006 is $235,211 related to tenant security deposits. The Company places its cash with major financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of amounts insured by Federal agencies. Approximately $12,717,000 in cash balances was in excess of federal deposit insurance at March 31, 2006.

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

8

incurred. Significant replacements, betterments and tenant improvements improving or extending the useful lives of the buildings are capitalized. Generally, depreciation of the buildings and building improvements is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 39 years and tenant improvements are depreciated over the related lease term.

We evaluate 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. No assets were deemed to be impaired at March 31, 2006.

In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we record at acquisition an intangible asset or liability for the value attributable to in-place leases. As of March 31, 2006, we had recorded $920,848 as an intangible asset attributable to the value of the leases in place as of the date of acquisition. The unamortized portion of this asset was $501,297 at March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, we had recorded $550,000 as an intangible asset attributable to the value of billboard and cell site leases as of the date of acquisition. The unamortized portion of this asset was $497,610 as of March 31, 2006.

Leasing Commissions

Leasing commissions are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term. As of March 31, 2006, we had recorded $242,470 in leasing commissions. The unamortized portion of this asset was $165,042 at March 31, 2006.

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

We believe that the recorded values of all financial instruments approximate their current values.

Income Tax Matters

It is our intent we be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. As a limited liability company, we are subject to certain minimal taxes and fees, including California state income taxes on limited liability companies; however, income taxes on the income or losses we realize are generally the obligation of the members.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We maintain some of our cash in money market accounts which, at times, exceeds federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced related to such amounts.

3.Investments in Real Estate

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

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

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

On January 25, 2005, the Fund purchased an existing multi-tenant industrial park known as Zenith Drive Centre located in Glenview, Illinois for an investment of $5,327,256. The property is a single-story, three building property consisting of approximately 37,900 (unaudited) leasable square feet. 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.

On April 28, 2005, the Fund purchased an existing multi-tenant industrial park known as Paramount Business Center located in Paramount, California, for an investment of $3,149,410. Paramount Business Center is a single-story two building property of approximately 30,157 (unaudited) square feet.

On September 30, 2005, the Fund purchased a multi-tenant industrial park in Tempe, Arizona, near the Phoenix airport, for an investment of $7,518,714. This property consists of four buildings totaling 83,205 (unaudited) square feet of leasable space.

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

We reimbursed our Managing Member specific incremental costs incurred in connection with the offering of our membership units, limited to 4% of the gross proceeds of our offering. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we reimbursed our Managing Member for $206,220 of these costs. At December 31, 2005, we had fully repaid all offering costs incurred by Managing Member.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Managing Member funded $200,980 to subsidize our distribution of $339,439 to the unit holders. We will not reimburse our Managing Member for this funding contribution.

Our Managing Member and/or its affiliates were entitled to receive various fees, compensation and reimbursements in connection with the offering of our membership units, 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, 2006 and 2005,

10

the total fees, compensation and reimbursements were $0 and $541,328, respectively.

5.Commitments and Contingencies

In accordance with the terms of the Cornerstone Realty Fund Operating Agreement, any of the funds raised in our public offering that have not been invested in properties or desginated for specific reserves within one year of the completion of the offering will be distributed to our unitholders.

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 our 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 our properties will continue to experience the current level of occupancy; (ii) tenants may not be able to meet their financial obligations; (iii) rental revenues from the properties may not be sufficient to meet our 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

Our 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. Included in this calculation are contractual rent increases and amounts paid to tenants as tenant improvement allowances. Rental receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility.

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 either 10 or 39 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful asset life or the related lease term.

We evaluate 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

11

to their estimated fair value. No assets were deemed to be impaired at March 31, 2006.

In accordance with FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we record at acquisition an intangible asset or liability for the value attributable to in-place leases. As of March 31, 2006, we have recorded $920,848 as an intangible asset attributable to the value of the leases in place as of the date of acquisition. The unamortized portion of this asset was $501,297 at March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, we have recorded $550,000 as an intangible asset attributable to the value of billboard and cell site leases as of the date of acquisition. The unamortized portion of this asset was $497,610 as of March 31, 2006.

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 2006, we had purchased six multi-tenant industrial business park properties in three major metropolitan areas. The properties were purchased in September 2002, December 2002, December 2003, and January, April and September 2005. The 2006 results reflect a full quarter of operations for all six properties. Results for 2005 reflect a full quarter of operations from only three properties.

Three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

Revenue for the first quarter of 2006 increased to $670,728 from $433,068 for the comparable period of 2005. The increase was due primarily to the contribution of the two new properties purchased after March 31, 2005.

Property operating and maintenance expenses increased to $207,125 in 2006 from $94,421 in 2005. This increase was the result of the addition of the new properties as well as non recurring repairs and maintenance at two properties in the 2006 quarter. Property taxes increased to $158,392 in 2006 from $80,105 in 2005 due to the addition of the new properties.

General and administrative costs increased to $151,429 in the first quarter of 2006 from $34,765 in the first quarter of 2005. The increase was due to higher professional fees including tax, auditing, legal and non-recurring consulting fees. Depreciation and amortization increased to $167,676 in the 2006 quarter from $94,628 in the 2005 quarter as a result of the addition of properties.

Interest and other income increased to $130,652 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $32,650 for the same period of 2005 due to higher the short-term interest rates earned on invested cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our planned $50,000,000 equity offering is now complete and we do not expect to raise any additional funds. We intend to use the existing cash balance for the acquisition of additional multi-tenant industrial business park properties, capital improvements to the properties, and for operating expenses and reserves.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements from net cash generated by operations, which we believe will be adequate to meet operating costs, and allow for cash distributions to the unitholders. However, because offering proceeds are not yet fully invested, current net cash generated by operations is not expected to be sufficient to fund distributions to unitholders at an annual rate of 5%.

12

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2006, we had no significant contractual obligations or commercial commitments, other than our operating leases with tenants in our commercial properties.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We invest our cash and cash equivalents in FDIC insured savings and money market accounts, which, by their nature, are subject to interest rate fluctuations.

13

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit 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 our 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 our Managing Member, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

We are in the process of 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. We anticipate that additional changes may be made to our internal controls and procedures. Other than the foregoing initiatives, no change in our internal control 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.
