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.

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.

Asset Quality:


                       Total Stonegate Bank - June 30,
                                     2013

                     Total loans               $748,250
                     30 days past due             2,508
                     60 - 89 days past due            0
                     NPAs*                        6,868
                     REO                          2,836

*Approximately 25% of the nonaccrual loans are current with their payments.

The chart above shows the various categories and ending balances of past due loans, nonaccrual loans and real estate owned. Overall, non-performing loans represent 0.92% of total loans and 0.62% of total assets.

Management believes all non-performing assets and REO are written down to fair market value. Real estate owned decreased from $6.4 million on June 30, 2012 to $2.8 million on June 30, 2013.

The Bank's loan loss reserve was $16.5 million on June 30, 2013. This reserve represents 240% of all non-performing loans and 2.2% of total loans. Total loans past due more than 30 days increased from $1.9 million on June 30, 2012 to $2.5 million on June 30, 2013.

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.
