Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

2.   Earnings Per Share

Shares acquired by the ESOP are not considered in the basic average shares outstanding until the shares are committed for allocation or vested to an employee’s individual account.  Unvested shares awarded pursuant to the Company’s restricted stock benefit plans are treated as participating securities in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method as they contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends.  The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security.
