Total interest expense decreased from $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. This decrease occurred even though total deposits increased $174 million period to period. Further, the Bank's cost of funds decreased 24 basis points period to period, which led to an increase in net interest income from $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2013.
Total non-interest income decreased to $760,000 in the second quarter of 2013 from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2012.
The Bank realized security gains of $160,000 in the second quarter of 2013. These gains were taken largely to reduce risk and the overall size of the investment portfolio.
Non-interest expense increased slightly to $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2012.
Margin and Cost of Funds:
Total cost of funds declined from a 1.00% June 2012 month to date average to a 0.76% June 2013 month to date average. Stonegate Bank's net interest margin declined from a June 2012 month to date average of 4.02% to 3.72% for June 2013 month to date average. Excess liquidity of $120 million largely accounted for the margin decrease.

Management Comments:
"Despite industry wide declining margins Stonegate Bank has demonstrated that respectable earnings can be realized without resorting to reducing expenses or releasing loan loss reserves," said Dave Seleski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Most banks are experiencing lackluster growth compounded by decreasing margins in this low interest rate environment. I am proud of the fact that we continue to grow and our margins remain respectable. This is even more remarkable with Stonegate's overall liquidity increasing $120 million since June 30, 2012. The goal going forward is to continue to leverage this liquidity and reduce our cost of funds to protect the bank from any significant margin compression in the future. Overall credit quality continues to improve in all of our markets. Year to date annualized net charge offs as a percentage of average loans was approximately 0.05%. I find this very encouraging. These improved credit matrices make evaluating potential acquisitions easier and will mitigate some of the risks associated with these future acquisitions," said Seleski.
