in the reported yield on interest-earning assets and the increase in cost of deposits. net interest income before the provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2019 was $11.2 million, an increase of $42,000, or 0.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to a $234,000 increase in interest income, partially offset by a $192,000 increase in interest expense. interest income on securities available for sale and other interest income increased $49,000, or 6.2%, during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2019. the increase was primarily due to a $44,000 increase in other interest income as a result of a $12.0 million, or 18.0%, increase in the average balance of fed funds sold and other investments, compared to the second quarter of 2019. interest income from the contractual interest rates on loans increased $194,000, or 1.5%, during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2019, reflecting a $14.4 million, or 1.5%, increase in average balance of loans, including loans held for sale. the amount of discount accretion on sba loans increased $14,000 during the third quarter of 2019 due to an increase in sba loan payoffs. the reported interest income on loans, net of sba discount accretions and other components, increased $185,000 during the third quarter of 2019. interest expense for the third quarter of 2019 increased $192,000, or 5.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2019, due to an increase of $26.4 million, or 3.9%, in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. net interest margin for the third quarter of 2019 decreased 31 basis points to 4.13% from 4.44% for the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to a greater increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities compared to the increase in the reported yield on interest-earning assets. net interest income before provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2019 increased $734,000, or 7.0%, to $11.2 million, compared to $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in interest expense. interest income on securities available for sale and other interest income increased $352,000, or 73.1%, for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. the increase was primarily due to a $269,000 increase in other interest income as a result of a $44.0 million increase in the average balance of fed funds sold and other investments and a $83,000 increase in interest income on securities available for sale from purchases of higher yielding securities during the fourth quarter of 2018. the increase of $1.8 million in contractual interest income on loans in the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a $87.2 million, or 10.1%, increase in the balance of average loans, including loans held for sale, compared to the third quarter of 2018, and a 20 basis point increase in the yield on average loans to 5.99% for the third quarter of 2019 from 5.79% for the same period of 2018. the increase in interest expense in the third quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2018 was due to a $109.4 million, or 18.5%, increase in the average balance of the total interest-bearing liabilities and a 51 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. the increases in the average yield on loans and average cost of deposits in the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the third quarter of 2018, were primarily due to market interest rate increases by the federal reserve in september and december of 2018. the rate cuts by the federal reserve of 25 basis points each in august and september of 2019 did not have a full impact on loan yields or deposit costs in the third quarter of 2019. the following tables show the asset yields, liability costs, spreads and margins for the periods indicated. three months ended percentage change september 30, june 30, september 30,

$66,000, or 0.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2019. the increase in noninterest expense from the second quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to an increase of $100,000

$126,000 in fdic insurance and regulatory assessments. the increase in occupancy and equipment expense was primarily attributable to a branch opening in carrollton, texas in the second quarter of
