Northern Star Financial, Inc. (OTCBB: NSBK) today announced results for the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Star Bank for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.

Northern Star Financial, Inc., the parent company of Northern Star Bank, reported a net loss of $166,929 (a basic loss of $0.18 per share) in the second quarter ended December 31, 2008 compared with a net loss of $101,430 (a basic loss of $0.12 per share) during the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company reported a basic loss per share of $0.31 for the six month period ended December 31, 2008 compared with a basic loss per share of $0.28 during the same six month period of the prior fiscal year.

The Company's total assets increased $1.22 million to $56.57 million at the end of the second quarter from $55.35 million at fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Total deposits for the second quarter ended December 31, 2008 increased $0.99 million to $40.58 million from $39.59 million at fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Loan receivables net of an allowance for loan losses increased by $0.78 million over the prior fiscal year end.

When comparing the Company's operating results for the first six months of fiscal year 2009 with the results of operations during the same period of the prior fiscal year, President Stienessen said, "Capital constraints and increased competition for lower levels of deposit and lending activity prevented the bank from experiencing erosion in its net interest margin." Stienessen noted that decreases in compensation and employee benefit cost coupled with increases in non-interest income were insufficient to offset increases in non-interest expenses resulting from the implementation of remote deposit capture services during the second quarter." Stienessen reported that the Company was conducting an evaluation of its strategic plan which he expected to be completed in early June.

The Company operates as a bank holding company whose subsidiary provides financial services. Northern Star Bank's business is that of a financial intermediary and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to make secured and unsecured loans to business and professional concerns and mortgage loans secured by residential real estate and other consumer loans. The Bank operates two full-service offices that are located in Mankato and St. Cloud, Minnesota.
