ASSETS: Total assets increased $2.1 million, or 1.0%, to $249.8 million at March 31, 2009 from $247.7 million at December 31, 2008. Investment securities available for sale increased $3.7 million, or 14.4% from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 as the Company employed a leveraging strategy. Net loans receivable decreased $628,000, or 0.3%, to $191.6 million at March 31, 2009 from $192.3 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in net loans was attributable primarily to the payoff of mortgage and consumer loans, as market mortgage rates decreased, causing many loans to refinance. A majority of originated mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market. Mortgage loans held for sale increased from $107,000 at December 31, 2008 to $1.4 million due to increased secondary market activity in the first three months of 2009 coupled with the timing of the closing of sold loans and the subsequent delivery of those loans to our secondary market investor.
LIABILITIES: Deposits decreased $1.4 million, or 1.0%, to $164.4 million at March 31, 2009 from $165.8 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily in certificate of deposit balances, reflecting continued competition for deposits and increased pressure on market deposit rates. REPO Sweep accounts decreased $1.9 million to $7.6 million at March 31, 2009 from $9.4 million at December 31, 2008 due to the closure of a few accounts and to an overall reduction in balances of the remaining accounts as our commercial customers used their cash balances to fund their working capital needs. Total FHLB advances increased $4.2 million to $44.4 million at March 31, 2009 to fund both the decrease in deposits and the increase in investment securities.
Interest Income: Interest income was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $3.6 million for the comparable period in 2008. The average balance of interest earning assets increased by $900,000 from $232.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $233.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the average yield on interest earning assets decreased over that same time period from 6.19% to 5.68%. This yield decrease was primarily attributable to a 200 basis point reduction in the prime rate from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 and a corresponding decrease in market rates on commercial loans. In addition, our non-performing assets increased by $3.4 million from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. While the yield on our mortgage loan portfolio remained relatively stable for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in March 2008, the average balance of our mortgage loan portfolio decreased by $6 million to $90.8 million during that time period. The average balance of our non-mortgage loan portfolio increased $1.9 million to $106.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, while the yield on these assets decreased to 5.65% from 6.63% period over period.

The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.68% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 from 6.19% for the same period ended in 2008. In addition, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.94% from 3.66% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our interest rate spread increased by 21 basis points to 2.74% while our net interest margin increased by 12 basis points to 3.10% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 from 2.98% for same period in 2008.
