Employee Stock Ownership Plan [Abstract]

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Note 7. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (the "ESOP") that covers all nonunion employees who work 1,000 or more hours per year and are employed on June 30. The Company makes annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service less dividends on unallocated shares received by the ESOP. All dividends on unallocated shares received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. As the debt is repaid, shares are released and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with FASB ASC 718-40. Accordingly, the shares purchased by the ESOP are reported as Unearned ESOP shares in the statement of financial position. As shares are released or committed-to-be-released, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current average market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings-per-share (EPS) computations. ESOP compensation expense was $102,448 and $89,578 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. ESOP compensation expense was $203,809 and $179,038 for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively

The ESOP shares as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	December 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Allocated shares		441,753		443,198
Committed-to-be-released shares		7,500		7,917
Unreleased shares		21,666		37,083
Total shares held by the ESOP		470,919		488,198
Fair value of unreleased shares	$	539,917	$	888,509

The Company may at times be required to repurchase shares at the ESOP participants’ request at the fair market value. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 the Company did not repurchase any shares held by the ESOP. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 the Company repurchased 4,798 shares previously held in the ESOP for $109,694.

The ESOP allows for eligible participants to take whole share distributions from the plan on specific dates in accordance with the provision of the plan.  Share distributions from the ESOP during the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled 17,279 and 8,103, respectively.
