Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $127,000, or 10.4%, to $1.3 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Interest and dividend income increased $1.1 million, or 10.8%, interest expense increased $37,000, or 1.7%, the provision for loan losses increased $1.5 million or 189.1%, noninterest income increased $317,000, or 22.1%, while other expenses and taxes decreased $229,000, or 3.1%, between comparable quarters.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net income was $2.4 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Interest income increased by $2.5 million, or 12.7%, and noninterest income increased $613,000, or 22.7%, between the two six-month periods. These revenue gains were partially offset by a $668,000, or 16.8%, increase in interest expense, a $1.9 million, or 121.5%, increase in provision for loan losses, and a $234,000, or 1.6%, increase in other noninterest and tax expenses during the equivalent timeframes.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 13.3%, to $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities improved 2.4% to 139.72% while our net interest margin declined by 34 basis points to 3.41% when comparing the second quarter of 2020 to the same period in 2019. The decline in the net interest margin was primarily due to lower earning asset yields which have fallen due to the significant decline in the interest rate environment and the addition of lower yielding PPP loans.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net interest income increased $1.8 million, or 11.7%, to $17.3 million from $15.5 million for the comparable 2019 period. Overall there was a 26 basis point decline in net interest margin to 3.51%, when comparing the respective six month periods, while the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities improved 0.2% to 137.89%.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $1.1 million, or 10.8%, to $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $10.1 million for the comparable 2019 period.

For the six months end June 30, 2020, interest income increased $2.5 million, or 12.7%, to $22.0 million from $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $162.6 million, or 19.6%, to $991.2 million while the average yield declined by 29 basis points to 4.45% when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
In both comparable periods, interest income increases were mostly driven by higher average earning assets, primarily loans, that were offset by lower earning asset yields due to the addition of lower yielding PPP loans and the significant decline in the interest rate environment.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $37,000, or 1.7%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 over the comparable 2019 period. The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $135.7
