Balance sheet dynamics affecting the comparative net interest margins for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2009 include (1) a decrease of 2.76% in average loans held for investment, (2) a decrease in average loans as a percentage of earning assets from 76.51% in the second quarter of 2009 to 74.42% in the third quarter of 2009, (3) an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of .53%, (4) an increase in average other borrowings of 5.52% and (5) an increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total assets from 11.46% in the second quarter of 2009 to 11.59% in the third quarter of 2009.
Yield and cost dynamics affecting the comparative net interest margins for the first nine months of 2009 compared to 2008 include (1) a decrease of 98 basis points in yields on loans held for investment and for sale, (2) a decrease of 130 basis points in investment and short-term funds yields, (3) a decrease of 89 basis points in costs of deposits and (4) a decrease of 26 basis points in costs of borrowings.

(2) a decrease of 37 basis points in investment and short-term funds yields, (3)
a decrease of 16 basis points in costs of deposits and (4) a decrease of 16
basis points in costs of borrowings.
The decrease in asset yields for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 as compared to the same periods in 2008 can be attributed to (1) a decrease in the prime lending rate of 400 basis points during 2008, (2) a steady decrease in short-term Treasury rates from 3.07% in December 2007 to 1.15% in September 2008 to .03% in December 2008 and to .12% in September 2009 and (3) a decrease in loan activity through the second half of 2008 and into 2009. Average loans held to maturity were $1.213 billion during the first quarter of 2008 and $1.199 billion during the third quarter of 2008. Continuing the downtrend, average loans held to maturity decreased from $1.165 billion during the first quarter of 2009 to $1.100 billion during the third quarter of 2009 as the economy weakened and new lending opportunities became scarce. Yields on loans held to maturity followed the prime rate trend, decreasing from 6.55% for the third quarter of 2008 and 6.92% for the first nine months of 2008 to 6.08% for the third quarter of 2009 and 5.94% for the first nine months of 2009. In addition to the decrease in yields due to the rate environment, the volume of nonaccrual loans increased significantly from June 2008 through the end of 2008 and into 2009. Total nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2009 were $69.019 million, representing 6.24% of the loan portfolio. In contrast, total nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2008 were $22.095 million, or 1.82% of the loan portfolio. Deposit costs decreased to 2.03% for the third quarter of 2009 and 2.17% for the first nine months of 2009 from 2.69% for the third quarter of 2008 and 3.06% for the first nine months of 2008. For the third quarter of 2009 average interest-bearing checking accounts increased by 30.80% over the fourth quarter of 2008 and by 29.94% over the third quarter of 2008. Approximately half of this growth occurred through core customer growth in the Summit checking product while approximately half was provided through public funds acquired through a rate bidding process. Average certificates of deposit for the third quarter of 2009 grew by 1.43% from the fourth quarter of 2008 and by 1.99% from the third quarter of 2008. During the first nine months of 2009, core customer certificate of deposit balances increased by $47.921 million while rate-bid public certificates decreased by $16.267 million.
Net interest margins should be affected during the remainder of 2009 by the shape of the yield curve, credit spreads that are being priced into the corporate markets, a lack of demand for commercial and consumer credit and the trend in nonaccrual loan balances. The yield curve spread between the 3-month and 5-year Treasuries was 42 basis points during December 2007 and 160 basis points during June 2008. However, the 3-month to 5-year Treasury spread moved between 120 and 210 basis points throughout the last nine months of 2008, settling at 149 basis points in December. The spread between short-term and long-term rates increased significantly during the second quarter of 2009 as the longer end of the yield curve began to rise. The 3-month to 5-year Treasury yield spread was 253 basis points in June 2009 and 225 basis points in September 2009. Short-term rates drifted lower during the second quarter of 2009 while long-term rates began to move upward. The shape of the yield curve remained about the same during the third quarter of 2009 after shifting during the second quarter. The economy has continued to weaken since 2007 with a considerable slowing in the housing and construction sectors. The Federal Reserve Board has responded by providing liquidity facilities to the commercial and investment banking sectors as well as through discount rate reductions. The Federal Open Market Committee decreased its Fed funds target rate from 4.25% at the end of 2007 to a range of 0% to .25% at the end of 2008 and is expected to keep its target rates low until an economic recovery is evident. Federal legislation was passed in 2008 in the form of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, which authorized the U. S. Treasury to implement the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in an effort to remove investments that had significant market losses and provide liquidity in their place. The Company received $30.000 million in funding from the TARP's Capital Purchase Program in February 2009. This liquidity should help the Company in funding asset growth and in displacing high-cost sources of funds.
Management expects loan yields to continue to decrease over the course of 2009. Management expects deposit costs to continue to decrease as certificates of deposit mature and reprice in the current lower rate environment or are displaced by other competitive interest-bearing checking and money-market accounts. Management reduced the pricing on certain interest-bearing checking account products during the second quarter of 2009 as market rates decreased with the trend in short-term rates. These rate reductions should contribute to a lower cost of deposits going forward. While certificates of deposit are not being aggressively marketed, the focus for 2009 and beyond has been and will continue to be the accumulation of core deposits and the building of customer relationships that accompany those deposits. The base product for this effort during 2008 and into 2009 has been the Summit interest-bearing checking account. Balances in this product have grown from $53.283 million at September 30, 2008 to $80.420 million at September 30, 2009.
