Shareholders' equity was $399.1 million compared to $405.7 million on June 30, 2014 due in part to an $11.4 million increase in the unrealized pension expense as a result of the factors discussed above as well as the increased amount of treasury shares as a result of the stock repurchase plan.
On August 25, 2014 the Corporation announced a stock repurchase plan to acquire 5% of the Corporation's outstanding common stock. During the second quarter of 2015 the Corporation repurchased 118,053 shares as part of the repurchase plan, bringing the total shares repurchased to date to 563,193.

Lower cost demand and savings deposits increased to $2.0 billion from $1.9 billion for the same period of 2014. The cost of funds for deposits was .21% versus .26% for the same period of 2014.
The company's tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio was 12.15% at June 30, 2015, compared to 12.10% at June 30, 2014.
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2015 was $25.9 million compared to the $26.6 million reported for the same period of 2014. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 4.00% compared to the 4.09% reported at June 30, 2014. The net interest margin has been impacted by the effects of the continued low interest rate environment on loans and investments.

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $9.8 million compared to $9.6 million in 2014, a 2.23% increase.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $1.26 million to $25.3 million compared to $24.0 million in 2014. Employee benefits increased $1.22 million partially due to increased benefit plan cost from the use of a lower discount rate and the use of the new RP-2014 Mortality Table. The pension plan was frozen for the majority of employees as of December 31, 2012. The Corporation's efficiency ratio was 65.84% for the quarter ending June 30, 2015 versus 62.43% for the same period in 2014.
