Net interest income was $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2009, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.1%, compared to $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2008. Interest income was $15.4 million for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 13.7%, from $17.8 million for the first quarter of 2008. Interest income decreased primarily because of a decrease in the average interest rate earned on loans and investments. Interest rates decreased primarily because of the 200 basis point decrease in the prime interest rate between the periods. Decreases in the prime rate, which is the rate that banks charge their prime business customers, generally decrease the rates on adjustable rate consumer and commercial loans in the portfolio and on new loans originated. The decrease in interest income due to decreased interest rates was partially offset by the $16.0 million increase in the average interest earning assets between the periods. Interest income was also adversely affected by the increase in non-performing assets between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 5.76% for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 96 basis points from the 6.72% average yield for the first quarter of 2008.
Interest expense was $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 27.8%, compared to $9.1 million for the first quarter of 2008. Interest expense decreased primarily because of the lower interest rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposits. The decreased rates were the result of the 200 basis point decrease in the federal funds rate that occurred between the periods as well as the 200 basis point decrease that occurred in the first quarter of 2008. Decreases in the federal funds rate, which is the rate that banks charge other banks for short term loans, generally have a lagging effect and decrease the rates banks pay for deposits. The lagging effect of deposit rate changes is primarily due to the Banks deposits that are in the form of certificates of deposits which do not re-price immediately when the federal funds rate changes. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.63% for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 107 basis points from the 3.70% average interest rate paid in the first quarter of 2008.
Non-interest income was $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 57.6%, from $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2008. Other non-interest income decreased $1.3 million primarily because of a $1.1 million increase in the valuation reserves required on other real estate owned due to decreases in the estimated value of the real estate. Gain on sales of loans increased $267,000 between the periods due to an increase in the gains recognized on the sale of single family loans because of increased loan originations. Fees and service charges increased $148,000 between the periods primarily because of increased retail deposit account activity and fees. Loan servicing fees increased $10,000 primarily because of an increase in the number of commercial loans that are being serviced for others.
Non-interest expense was $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2009, an increase of $1.0 million, or 15.8%, from $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2008. Other non-interest expense increased $681,000 primarily because of a $366,000 increase in legal and other fees related to foreclosed assets and an ongoing state tax assessment challenge and because of a $222,000 increase in FDIC insurance expense. Compensation expense increased $489,000 primarily because of the accrual of contractual costs related to the departure of a former executive officer. Data processing costs decreased $149,000 primarily because of reduced fees paid to third party vendors as a result of the core system conversion that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008. Occupancy expense decreased $40,000 due primarily to decreased depreciation expense on furniture and equipment.
Total non-performing assets were $69.9 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $4.9 million, from $74.8 million at December 31, 2008. Non-performing loans decreased $14.1 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets increased $9.2 million during the first quarter of 2009. The non-performing loan activity for the quarter included $8.1 million in additional non-performing loans primarily related to five loans secured by leased equipment and two secured commercial lines of credit, $10.3 million in loan charge offs, $562,000 in loans that were reclassified as performing, $10.4 million in loans that were transferred into real estate owned and $933,000 in principal payments that were received. The foreclosed and repossessed asset activity for the quarter included $10.4 million in additional foreclosed real estate primarily related to a residential development and a multi-family housing project, $1.1 million in additional losses due to a decrease in the estimated value of the underlying real estate and $132,000 of real estate that was sold.
