FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Cornerstone
Bancshares, Inc. (“Cornerstone”) may from time to time make written or oral
statements, including statements contained in this report (including, without
limitation, certain statements in “Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2), that constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The words “expect,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “consider,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “should,” “estimate,” and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements,
but other statements may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements
should be considered subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such
forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s belief as well as
assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management pursuant
to “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Cornerstone’s actual results may differ materially from the results
anticipated in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. Such
factors include, without limitation, those specifically described in Item 1A of
Part I of Cornerstone’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2009, as well as the following: (i) the ability of Cornerstone
Community Bank (the “Bank”) to comply with the requirements of the consent order
issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on April 2, 2010 or the
written agreement entered with the Tennessee Department of Financial
Institutions on April 8, 2010 (collectively, the “Action Plans”); (ii) the
ability of Cornerstone to raise additional capital necessary to retire certain
holding company loans and enable the Bank to achieve and maintain the elevated
capital levels required under the Action Plans; (iii) unanticipated
deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers resulting in significant
increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses, (iv) increased
competition with other financial institutions, (v) changes in economic
conditions in Cornerstone’s market area, (vi) rapid fluctuations or
unanticipated changes in interest rates, (vii) the effect on Cornerstone and the
financial institutions and banking industry from difficult market conditions,
unprecedented volatility and the soundness of other financial institutions,
(viii) the -ability of Cornerstone to restructure its loan portfolio to
regulatory acceptable levels and composition, (ix) the effect of recent
legislative regulatory initiatives, and (x) changes in the legislative and
regulatory environment. Many of such factors are beyond Cornerstone’s ability to
control or predict, and readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. Cornerstone does not intend to update or reissue any
forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of new
information or other circumstances that may become known to
Cornerstone.

CORNERSTONE
BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note
1. Presentation of Financial Information
Nature of
Business-Cornerstone Bancshares, Inc. (“Cornerstone”) is a bank holding
company whose primary business is performed by its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Cornerstone Community Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank provides a full
range of banking services to the Chattanooga, Tennessee market. The
Bank has also established a loan production office (“LPO”) in Dalton, Georgia to
further enhance the Bank’s lending markets. The Bank specializes in
asset based lending, commercial lending and payment processing. The
Bank has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Financial, Inc. (“Eagle”), which
specializes in finance and accounts receivable factoring.
Interim Financial Information
(Unaudited)-The financial information in this report for June 30, 2010
and June 30, 2009 has not been audited. The information included herein should
be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders which was
furnished to each shareholder of Cornerstone in April of 2010. The consolidated
financial statements presented herein conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and to general industry practices. In the opinion of
Cornerstone’s management, the accompanying interim financial statements contain
all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the financial condition, the results of operations,
and cash flows for the interim period. Results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full
year.
Use of Estimates-The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term include the determination of
the allowance for loan losses.
Consolidation-The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Cornerstone the Bank and Eagle. Substantially all intercompany
transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated.
Reclassification-Certain
amounts in the prior consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications had
no effect on net income or stockholder’s equity as previously
reported.
Accounting Policies-During
interim periods, Cornerstone follows the accounting policies set forth in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since December 31, 2009,
there have been no significant changes in any accounting principles or
practices, or in the method of applying any such principles or practices except
for the following:
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain
Recognition and Disclosure Requirements in February 2010. This ASU amended the
guidance on subsequent events and will no longer require that an SEC filer
disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The
amendment was effective upon issuance. The
adoption of ASU 2010-09 does not have a material impact on Cornerstone’s
financial statements.
The FASB
issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements in January 2010. The new disclosures now
required by the amended guidance are:
(1)
|
The
amounts of significant transfers in and/or out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair
value measurements and the reasons for the transfers;
and
|
(2)
|
A
reconciliation of the activities in Level 3 fair value measurements on a
gross basis.
|

CORNERSTONE
BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
ASU
2010-06 also clarifies the existing disclosure requirements for level of
disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new
disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for annual
or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements on a gross basis. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 has
not and is not expected to have a material impact on Cornerstone’s financial
statements.
The FASB
issued ASU No. 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to
SEC Paragraphs in January 2010. The purpose of this ASU is to make
technical corrections to certain guidance issued by the SEC that is included in
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Primarily,
this ASU changes references to various FASB and AICPA pronouncements to the
appropriate ASC paragraph numbers. The adoption of ASU 2010-04 does not have a
material impact on Cornerstone’s financial statements.
FASB
issued ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing
Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses in July 2010. The purpose of this ASU is
to improve transparency in financial reporting by public and nonpublic companies
that hold financing receivables, which include loans, lease receivables, and
other long-term receivables. The ASU requires companies to provide more
information in their disclosures about the credit quality of their financing
receivables and the credit reserves held against them. The period end
balance disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 is not expected to have a material
impact on Cornerstone’s financial statements.
Going
Concern
Cornerstone
continues to prepare its consolidated financial statements on a going concern
basis. For further information regarding this issue, refer to note 2
“Going Concern Considerations” of Cornerstone’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 30, 2010. The consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form
10-K. Furthermore, Cornerstone has submitted its compliance covenant
certificate as of June 30, 2010 to Silverton Bridge Bank, N.A., as successor in
receivership to Silverton Bank, N.A. (“Silverton”). The
June 30, 2010 compliance certificate indicates that certain loan covenants were
not met. However, Cornerstone has requested a waiver with respect to
the covenant violations. Based upon this request, Cornerstone
anticipates that Silverton will waive the covenant violations as of June 30,
2010.
Consent
Order
Following
the issuance of a written report by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (“TDFI”)
concerning their joint examination of the Bank in October 2009, the Bank entered
a consent order with the FDIC on April 2, 2010 and a written agreement with the
TDFI on April 8, 2010, each concerning areas of the Bank’s operations identified
in the report as warranting improvement and presenting substantially similar
plans for making those improvements. The consent order and written agreement,
which we collectively refer to as the “Action Plans”, convey specific actions
needed to address certain findings from the joint examination and to address our
current financial condition. The Action Plans contain a list of
strict requirements ranging from a capital directive, which requires us to
achieve and maintain minimum regulatory capital levels in excess of the
statutory minimums to be well-capitalized, to developing a liquidity risk
management and contingency funding plan, in connection with which we will be
subject to limitations on the maximum interest rates we can pay on deposit
accounts. The Action Plans also contain restrictions on future
extensions of credit and requires the development of various programs and
procedures to improve our asset quality as well as routine reporting on our
progress toward compliance with the Action Plans to the Board of Directors, the
FDIC and the TDFI. Finally, as of April 2, 2010, the date of the
Action Plans, the Bank was deemed to be “adequately
capitalized.” The adequately capitalized classification is the
result of the Bank receiving a formal enforcement action which prohibits a Bank
from being classified as “well-capitalized” regardless of its capital
ratios. Therefore, the Bank can not be classified as “well
capitalized” until the Action Plans are lifted by the FDIC and the
TDFI.

Earnings per Common Share-
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period (denominator). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders (numerator) by the adjusted weighted
average number of shares outstanding (denominator). The adjusted weighted
average number of shares outstanding reflects the potential dilution occurring
if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock resulting in the issuance of common stock that share

2. Stock Based Compensation
Accounting Policies-
Cornerstone, as required by FASB, applies the fair value recognition provisions
of ASC 718, Compensation –Stock Compensation. As a result, for the
six month period ended June 30, 2010, the compensation cost charged to earnings
related to the vested incentive stock options was approximately $37,000, which
had no material impact on earnings per share.
Officer and Employee
Plans-Cornerstone has two stock option plans under which officers and
employees can be granted incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options
to purchase a total of up to 1,420,000 shares of Cornerstone’s common
stock. The exercise price for incentive stock options must be not
less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the common stock on the date
of the grant. The exercise price of the non-qualified stock options
may be equal to or more or less than the fair market value of the common stock
on the date of the grant. The incentive stock
options vest 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date, 60% on the third
anniversary of the grant date and 100% on the fourth anniversary of the grant
date, and the non-qualified stock options vest 50% on the first anniversary of
the grant date and 100% on the second anniversary of the grant
date. The options expire ten years from the grant
date. At June 30, 2010, the total remaining compensation cost to be
recognized on non-vested options is approximately $226,000. A summary
of the status of these stock option plans is presented in the following

Board of Directors
Plan-Cornerstone has a stock option plan under which members of the Board
of Directors, at the formation of the Bank, were granted options to purchase a
total of up to 600,000 shares of the Bank's common stock. On October
15, 1997, the Bank stock options were converted to Cornerstone stock
options. Only non-qualified stock options may be granted under the
plan. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of
Cornerstone’s stock on the date of grant and the maximum term is ten
years. Vesting for options granted during 2009, are 50% on the first
anniversary of the grant date and 100% on the second anniversary of the grant
date. At June 30, 2010, the total remaining compensation cost to be
recognized on non-vested options is approximately $23,000. A summary

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Upon
acquisition of a security, the Bank determines the appropriate impairment model
that is applicable. If the security is a beneficial interest in
securitized financial assets, the Bank uses the beneficial interests in
securitized financial assets impairment model. If the security is not
a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Bank uses the debt
and equity securities impairment model. The Bank conducts periodic
reviews to evaluate each security to determine whether an other-than-temporary
impairment has occurred. The Bank does not have any securities that
have been classified as other-than-temporarily-impaired at June 30, 2010 or
December 31, 2009.
At June
30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the significant categories of temporarily
impaired securities, and management’s evaluation of those securities are as
follows:
State and municipal
securities: At June 30, 2010, 13 investments in obligations of
state and municipal securities had unrealized losses. The Bank
believes the unrealized losses on those investments were caused by the interest
rate environment and does not relate to the underlying credit quality of the
issuers. Because the Bank has the intent and ability to hold those
investments for a time necessary to recover their amortized cost bases, which
may be maturity, the Bank does not consider those investments to be
other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.
Mortgage-backed securities issued or
guaranteed by GNMA: At June 30, 2010, 11 investments in residential
mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by GNMA had unrealized
losses. This impairment is believed to be caused by the current
interest rate environment. The contractual cash flows of those
investments are guaranteed or issued by an agency of the U.S.
Government. Because the decline in market value is attributable to
the current interest rate environment and not credit quality, and because the
Bank does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not
that the Bank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their
amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Bank does not deem those
investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

5. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements - In the normal course of business, the Bank has entered
into off-balance sheet financial instruments which include commitments to extend
credit (i.e., including unfunded lines of credit) and standby letters of credit.
Commitments to extend credit are usually the result of lines of credit granted
to existing borrowers under agreements that the total outstanding indebtedness
will not exceed a specific amount during the term of the indebtedness. Typical
borrowers are commercial concerns that use lines of credit to supplement their
treasury management functions; thus their total outstanding indebtedness may
fluctuate during any time period based on the seasonality of their business and
the resultant timing of their cash flows. Other typical lines of credit are
related to home equity loans granted to consumers. Commitments to extend credit
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee.
Standby
letters of credit are generally issued on behalf of an applicant (our customer)
to a specifically named beneficiary and are the result of a particular business
arrangement that exists between the applicant and the beneficiary. Standby
letters of credit have fixed expiration dates and are usually for terms of two
years or less unless terminated beforehand due to criteria specified in the
standby letter of credit. A typical arrangement involves the applicant routinely
being indebted to the beneficiary for such items as inventory purchases,
insurance, utilities, lease guarantees or other third party commercial
transactions. The standby letter of credit would permit the beneficiary to
obtain payment from the Bank under certain prescribed circumstances.
Subsequently, the Bank would then seek reimbursement from the applicant pursuant
to the terms of the standby letter of credit.
The Bank
follows the same credit policies and underwriting practices when making these
commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Each customer’s
creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and the amount of
collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the
customer. Collateral held varies but may include cash, real estate and
improvements, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment
and personal property.
The
contractual amounts of these commitments are not reflected in the consolidated
financial statements and would only be reflected if drawn upon. Since many of
the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contractual
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. However, should
the commitments be drawn upon and should customers default on their resulting
obligation to, the Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration
of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments.
A summary
of the Bank’s total contractual amount for all off-balance sheet commitments at
June 30, 2010 is as follows:
Commitments
to extend credit
|
$ |
31.1
million
|
Standby
letters of credit
|
$ |
3.7
million
|
Various
legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of business. In
the opinion of management, the resolution of claims outstanding at June 30, 2010
will not have a material effect on Cornerstone’s consolidated financial
statements.

6. Fair Value Disclosures
Fair
Value Measurements:
Cornerstone
uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets
and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In
accordance with the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ASC Topic 820, the
fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best
determined based upon quoted market prices. In cases where quoted
market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using
present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are
significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and
estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates
may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
ASC Topic
820 provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date
under current market conditions. If there has been a significant
decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a
change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be
appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which
willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current
market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of
significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the
range that is most representative of fair value under current market
conditions.
ASC Topic
820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which requires an entity
to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value, as follows:
Level 1 -
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that Cornerstone has the ability to access.
Level 2 -
Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in
markets that are not active and other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 -
Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about
the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability.
A
financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based
upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
The
following methods and assumptions were used by Cornerstone in estimating fair
value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and
cash equivalents:
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values based on
the short-term nature of the assets.
Securities:
Fair
values are estimated using pricing models and discounted cash flows that
consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark
yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, and credit
spreads. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at
fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.
The
carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on
the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loans:
For
variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in
credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values
for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using
market interest rates for comparable loans. Loans for which it is
probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance
with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered
impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired,
management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, “Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” The fair value of impaired loans
is estimated using several methods including collateral value, liquidation value
and discounted cash flows.
Those
impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair
value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments
in such loans. At June 30, 2010, substantially all of the total
impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of
collateral. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, impaired loans where an
allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require
classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of
the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised
value, Cornerstone records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level
2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines
the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value
and there is no observable market price, Cornerstone records the impaired loan
as nonrecurring Level 3.
Cash
surrender value of life insurance:
The
carrying amounts of cash surrender value of life insurance approximate their
fair value. The carrying amount is based on information received from
the insurance carriers indicating the financial performance of the policies and
the amount Cornerstone would receive should the policies be
surrendered. Cornerstone reflects these assets within Level 2 of the
valuation hierarchy.
Foreclosed
assets:
Foreclosed
assets, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction
of loans, is initially recorded at fair value, determined on the basis of
current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained
principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling
costs. At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance
over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge
against the allowance for loan losses. Gains or losses on sale and
any subsequent adjustment to the fair value are recorded as a component of
foreclosed real estate expense. Foreclosed assets are included in
Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Deposits:
The fair
value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing and
interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits, and money market accounts,
is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The
carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term certificates of deposit
approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for
fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow
calculation that applies market interest rates on comparable instruments to a
schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time
deposits.
Securities
sold under agreements to repurchase:
The
estimated fair value of these liabilities approximates their carrying
value.
Federal
Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings:
The
carrying amounts of FHLB advances and other borrowings approximate their fair
value.
Accrued
interest:
The
carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
Commitments
to extend credit, letters of credit and lines of credit:
The fair
value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements
and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For
fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

means the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing
basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for
example, when there is evidence of impairment). The tables below

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Cornerstone
is a bank holding company and the parent company of the Bank, a Tennessee
banking corporation which operates primarily in and around Chattanooga,
Tennessee. The Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary Eagle which is an
accounts receivable financing company. The Bank has five full-service
banking offices located in Hamilton County, Tennessee, and one loan production
office located in Dalton, Georgia. The Bank’s business consists
primarily of attracting deposits from the general public and, with these and
other funds, originating real estate loans, consumer loans, business loans, and
residential and commercial construction loans. The principal sources of income
for the Bank are interest and fees collected on loans, fees collected on deposit
accounts, and interest and dividends collected on other
investments. The principal expenses of the Bank are interest paid on
deposits, employee compensation and benefits, office expenses, and other
overhead expenses. Eagle’s principal source of income is revenue received from
the purchase of receivables. Expenses are related to employee compensation and
benefits and office and overhead expenses.
The
following is a discussion of our financial condition at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009 and our results of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on
information about our financial condition and results of operations which is not
otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial statements. The following
discussion and analysis should be read along with our consolidated financial
statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein.
Recent
Developments
On July
21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the
“Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act contains
significant changes to the current bank regulatory structure and requires
various federal agencies to adopt a wide array of new implementing rules and
regulations. While not yet determinable, the impact of the Dodd-Frank
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder may significantly affect our
operations and financial stability, increase operating costs and redirect
management resources.
Review
of Financial Performance
As of
June 30, 2010, Cornerstone had total consolidated assets of $523 million, total
loans of $318.8 million, total deposits of $400.6 million and stockholders’
equity of $29.4 million. Net income for the three month period
ended June 30, 2010 totaled $18,145. Net income for the
six month period ended June 30, 2010 totaled $361,933.
Results
of Operations
Net
income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $18,145 or $0.00 basic
earnings per share, compared to a net loss of ($602,799) or ($0.09) basic
earnings per share, for the same period in 2009. Net Income for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 was $361,933 or $0.06 basic earnings per share,
compared to a net loss of ($3,514,302) or ($0.54) basic earnings per share, for
the same period in 2009.

Net Interest Income-Net
interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various
earning assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest bearing
liabilities. Net interest income is also the most significant
component of our earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2010,
net interest income before the provision for loan loss, increased $584 thousand
or 16.06% over the same period of 2009. Cornerstone’s interest rate
spread on a tax equivalent basis (which is the difference between the average
yield on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities) was 3.24% for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared
to 3.01% for the same period in 2009. The net interest margin on a tax
equivalent basis was 3.41% for the three month period ended June 30, 2010
compared to 3.35% for the same period in
2009. Significant items related to the changes in net
interest income, net interest yields and rates, and net interest margin are
presented below:
The
Bank’s net interest margin has been impacted by a change in the Bank’s
balance sheet mix. The change, implemented by management during
2009 and continuing in 2010, has reduced the Bank’s percentage of loans
relative to other assets in order to reduce its risk
profile. As of June 30, 2010, the Bank’s loan to asset ratio
was approximately 61% compared to approximately 63% as of December 31,
2009. This level is historically low for the Bank as well as
the banking industry. Normal loan to asset ratios for the
banking industry typically range from 65% to 75%. Management
expects that the Bank’s net interest margin will improve once the Bank is
able to return to a normal loan to asset
ratio.
|
The
Bank’s loan portfolio yield increased to 6.86% for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to 6.53% for the quarter ended June 30,
2009. The Bank’s loan portfolio yield increased to 7.08% for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 6.67% for the six months
ended June 30, 2009. The Bank saw a slight reduction in its
non-accrual adjustments to loan interest income in the first six months of
2010 compared to the same time period in
2009.
|
For
the three month periods ended June 30, 2010, the Bank’s investment
portfolio yielded 3.44% compared to 2.91% for the same time period in
2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Bank’s
investment portfolio yielded 3.52% compared to 3.12% for the same time
period in 2009. The Bank increased the amount of its investment
portfolio from approximately $46 million as of June 30, 2009 to
approximately $130 million as of June 30, 2010. The increase
provided the Bank needed collateral to guarantee access to
funding. The Bank executed a “bar-bell” investment strategy
during the fourth quarter of 2009 and first quarter of 2010 to build an
investment portfolio sufficient to cover the Bank’s collateral
requirements which peaked in the first quarter of 2010. Since
that time the Bank’s collateral requirements have reduced and the Bank is
transitioning to a more defensive interest rate sensitivity exposure and
is realizing investment gains as it reduces the investment
portfolio.

Provision for Loan Losses-The
provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish
an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, should be
adequate to provide coverage for the inherent losses on outstanding
loans. The provision for loan losses amounted to $1.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and $2.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2010.
Noninterest Income-Items
reported as noninterest income include service charges on checking accounts,
insufficient funds charges, automated clearing house (“ACH”) processing fees and
the Bank’s secondary mortgage department earnings. Increases in
income derived from service charges and ACH fees are primarily a function of the
Bank’s growth while fees from the origination of mortgage loans will often
reflect market conditions and fluctuate from period to
period.
The
following table presents the components of noninterest income for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (dollars in

The
Bank has seen a decrease in its service charges on deposit accounts during
2010 due to a reduction in customer overdraft
charges.
|
The
Bank realized approximately $618 thousand of security gains during the
second quarter of 2010 as the Bank reduced its security
portfolio. The Bank sold fixed rate Ginnie Mae
mortgages.
|
The
Bank continues to experience losses on its other real estate portfolio but
at a slower rate than 2009 due to a stabilization of commercial real
estate prices in the Chattanooga, Tennessee
MSA.

Noninterest Expense-Items
reported as noninterest expense include salaries and employee benefits,

Significant
matters relating to the changes to noninterest expense are presented
below:
During
the second quarter of 2010, the Bank paid approximately $237,000 in
insurance assessments to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The
Bank has seen a material increase in its ongoing insurance assessment due
to its higher risk profile. The Bank was not required to
prefund the FDIC three year assessment and is paying as
incurred.
|
As
of June 30, 2010, Cornerstone had incurred the following expenses related
to other real estate: other real estate expense, which includes
real estate taxes and maintenance, of approximately $507 thousand, other
real estate legal expense of approximately $69 thousand and repossessed
asset expense of approximately $53 thousand. Management expects
these costs to continue throughout 2010 as property is transferred into
other real estate, maintained by the Bank for a period of time and finally
sold.
|
Financial
Condition
Overview-Cornerstone’s
consolidated assets totaled $532.4 million as of December 31,
2009. As of June 30, 2010, total consolidated assets had decreased
$9.0 million or 1.69% to $523.4 million. The Bank’s loan portfolio
totaled $318.8 million as of June 30, 2010.
Liabilities
as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 totaled approximately $494.0 million
and $504.6 million, respectively. The change in liabilities is
primarily attributable to decreases in the Bank’s certificate of deposit
accounts and reduction of FHLB advances of $5 million.
Stockholders’
equity as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 totaled approximately $29.4
million and $27.8 million, respectively.
Securities-The Bank’s
investment portfolio, primarily consisting of Ginnie Mae Agency, mortgage-backed
securities and municipal securities, amounted to $129.7 million as of June 30,
2010 compared to $124.6 million as of December 31, 2009. The primary purpose of
the Bank’s investment portfolio is to provide liquidity, satisfy pledging
requirements, collateralize the Bank’s repurchase accounts and secure the Bank’s
FHLB borrowings.
Loans-The composition of
loans at June 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009 and the percentage (%) of each

Allowance for Loan Losses-The
allowance for loan losses represents Cornerstone’s assessment of the risks
associated with extending credit and its evaluation of the quality of the loan
portfolio. Management analyzes the loan portfolio to determine the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provisions required to
maintain a level considered adequate to absorb anticipated loan
losses. The Bank uses a risk based approach to calculate the
appropriate loan loss allowance in accordance with guidance issued by the
Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Although the Bank
performs prudent credit underwriting, no assurances can be given that adverse
economic circumstances will not result in increased losses in the loan portfolio
and require greater provisions for possible loan losses in the
future.
During
the second quarter of 2010, the Bank experienced a continued decline in
loan quality. Currently, the Bank believes that it has
established an allowance for loan losses that adequately accounts for the
Bank’s identified loan impairment. However, additional
provision to the loan loss allowance may be needed in future quarters if
the Bank’s loan portfolio continues to
deteriorate.
|
The
following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the
ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans as of the end of each

Non-Performing Assets-The
specific economic and credit risks associated with the Bank’s loan portfolio
include, but are not limited to, a general downturn in the economy which could
affect employment rates in our market area, general real estate market
deterioration, interest rate fluctuations, deteriorated or non-existent
collateral, title defects, inaccurate appraisals, financial deterioration of
borrowers, fraud, and violation of laws and regulations.
The Bank
attempts to reduce these economic and credit risks by adherence to a lending
policy approved by the Bank’s board of directors. The Bank’s lending
policy establishes loan to value limits, collateral perfection, credit
underwriting criteria and other acceptable lending standards. The
Bank classifies loans that are ninety (90) days past due and still accruing
interest, renegotiated loans, non-accrual loans, foreclosures and repossessed
property as non-performing assets. The Bank’s policy is to categorize a loan on
non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is contractually ninety
(90) or more days past due. At the time the loan is categorized as
non-accrual the interest previously accrued but not collected may be reversed
and charged against current earnings.

The
Bank’s loan portfolio has experienced a general deterioration in loan
quality as the Chattanooga, Tennessee Metropolitan Statistical Area
endures the current economic recession. The number and dollar
amount of impaired loans increased during the second quarter of 2010 as
the Bank continued to systematically review its loan portfolio to
proactively identify possible impaired loans. Management
anticipates that its loan asset quality will not improve until the economy
recovers from the current economic
recession.

Non-accrual
loans increased to approximately $13 million as of June 30, 2010 up from
approximately $8.5 million as of March 31, 2010 and approximately $7.3
million as of December 31, 2009. The increase is concentrated
in one loan relationship of approximately $7 million. The
relationship is in bankruptcy and the courts are presently making payments
on several pieces of income producing commercial real
estate. Since the end of the second quarter of 2010, the Bank
has recovered $1.2 million with no loss from one of its non-accrual loans
and expects to close the sale of a non-accrual loan in the amount of $1.5
million with no loss. The Bank has seen an increased interest
in its OREO holdings and currently has $2 million under contract to close
during the third quarter of 2010.
|
Deposits and Other
Borrowings-The Bank’s deposits consist of noninterest bearing demand
deposits, interest bearing demand accounts, savings and money market accounts,
and time deposits. The Bank has agreements with some customers to
sell certain of its securities under agreements to repurchase the security the
following day. The Bank has also obtained advances from the
FHLB.
The
following table presents the Bank’s deposits and other borrowings as either core
funding or non-core funding. Core funding consists of all deposits
except for time deposits issued in denominations of $100,000 or
greater. All other funding is classified as non-core (amounts in
thousands).

institutions that allow the Bank to meet short term
funding requirements. These lines can be used as frequently as
daily with large variations in balances depending upon the Bank’s
immediate funding requirements. As of June 30, 2010, the Bank
had established $13 million in available federal funds
lines.
|
FHLB
borrowings are secured by certain qualifying residential mortgage loans
and, pursuant to a blanket lien, all qualifying commercial mortgage
loans. The FHLB is further secured with pledged securities with
a market value of approximately $57 million as of June 30,
2010. Management believes that FHLB borrowings provide an
additional source of funding at lower interest rates than alternative
sources. The borrowings are structured as
either term loans with call and put options after a stated conversion date
or an overnight borrowing
arrangement.

Capital Resources-At June 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, Cornerstone’s stockholders’ equity amounted to $29.4
million and $27.8 million, respectively.
Cornerstone’s
stockholders’ equity increased $0.8 million during the second quarter of
2010. The increase in equity can be attributed to Cornerstone’s
second quarter 2010 earnings of approximately $18,000 and an unrealized
gain on securities available for sale of approximately
$805,000. Following is a summary of the Bank’s capital ratios
as of June 30, 2010:

Market
and Liquidity Risk Management
Interest
Rate Sensitivity
The
Bank’s Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for making
decisions regarding liquidity and funding solutions based upon approved
liquidity, loan, capital and investment policies. The ALCO committee
must consider interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risk management when
rendering a decision on funding solutions and loan pricing. The
following is a brief discussion of one of the primary tools used by the ALCO
committee to perform its responsibilities:
Gap
analysis is a technique of asset-liability management that can be used to
assess interest rate risk or liquidity risk. The Bank has developed a gap
analysis to assist the ALCO committee in its decision
making. The analysis provides the committee information
regarding the interest rate-sensitivity of the Bank. The
interest rate-sensitivity is the difference between the interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities scheduled to mature or reprice
within a stated time period. The gap is considered
positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the
amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. Conversely, the
gap is considered negative when the amount of
interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of
interest rate-sensitive assets. The gap position coupled with
interest rate movements will result in either an increase
or decrease in net interest income depending upon the Bank’s position and
the nature of the movement.

is measured by the Bank's ability to raise cash at a reasonable cost or with a
minimum of loss. These funds are used primarily to fund loans and
satisfy deposit withdrawals. Several factors must be considered by
management when attempting to minimize liquidity risk. Examples
include changes in interest rates, competition, loan demand, and general
economic conditions. Minimizing liquidity risk is a responsibility of
the ALCO committee and is reviewed by the Bank’s regulatory agencies on a
regular basis.

Controls
and Procedures
|
Under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including Cornerstone’s
Chief Executive Officer, Cornerstone has evaluated the effectiveness of its
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2010 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such
evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date,
Cornerstone’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them
on a timely basis to material information relating to Cornerstone (including its
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in Cornerstone’s periodic
filings under the Exchange Act.
There
were no changes in Cornerstone’s internal control over financial reporting
during Cornerstone’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Cornerstone’s internal
control over financial reporting.
