Employee Stock Ownership Plan | NOTE 8 – Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Company maintains a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) that covers substantially all employees. The Bank makes annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP’s debt service. The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for this debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active participants, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. Because the debt is intercompany, it is eliminated in consolidation for presentation in these financial statements. The shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the balance sheet. As shares are committed to be released from collateral and allocated to active participants, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares and the shares will become outstanding for earnings-per-shares (EPS) computations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 22,941 and 22,941 shares were committed to be released, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the average fair value per share of stock was $12.19 resulting in total ESOP compensation expense of $277 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the average fair value per share of stock was $11.20 resulting in total ESOP compensation expense of $257 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The ESOP shares as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:
