Note 1.Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equitable Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Equitable Bank (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Stock Conversion: On July 8, 2015, Equitable Financial, MHC, the Company’s former federally chartered mutual holding company, consummated its “second step” mutual-to-stock conversion, and the Company consummated its initial stock offering. In the offering, the Company sold 1,983,160 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at $8.00 per share in a subscription offering and community offering, including 118,989 shares, equal to 6.0% of the shares sold in the offering, to the Equitable Bank employee stock ownership plan.

In accordance with applicable federal conversion regulations, at the time of the completion of our mutual-to-stock conversion, we established a liquidation account in an amount equal to the Company’s total equity as of the latest balance sheet date in the final prospectus used in the Conversion. Each eligible account holder or supplemental account holder is entitled to a proportionate share of this liquidation account in the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event. This share will be reduced if the eligible account holder’s or supplemental account holder’s deposit balance falls below the amounts on the date of record as of any June 30 and will cease to exist if the account is closed. The liquidation account will never be increased despite any increase after Conversion in the related deposit balance.

Following completion of the Conversion, the Bank may not declare, pay a dividend on, or repurchase any of its capital stock of the Bank, if the effect thereof would cause retained earnings to be reduced below the liquidation account amount or regulatory capital requirements.

Nature of business: The primary business of the Company is the ownership of the Bank. Through the Bank, the Company is engaged in the business of retail banking, with operations conducted through its main office and branches, which are located in Grand Island, North Platte and Omaha, Nebraska. The Bank’s primary services include accepting deposits, making loans and investing in securities.

Use of estimates: In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period. Estimates significant to the consolidated financial statement include the allowance for loan losses, deferred tax valuation allowances, fair values of financial instruments and foreclosed assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that are susceptible to significant change. The fair value disclosure of investments and other financial instruments is an estimate that can be computed within a range.

Risks and uncertainties: Changes in economic conditions in the United States, and more specifically Nebraska, could impact the credit worthiness of the Company’s borrowers and the borrowers’ ability to service their outstanding loans with the Company. Additionally, the Company is subject to interest rate risk in which changes in the interest rate environment could negatively impact the Company’s net interest margin.

Cash flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions with maturities under 90 days when purchased, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, and advance payments from borrowers for taxes and insurance. Excess cash is held in a fully secured excess balance account with Midwest Independent Bank. The balance at Midwest Independent Bank at June 30, 2017 and 2016 was zero and $12.4 million, respectively.

Securities: Securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax.

Interest income is recognized under the interest method and includes amortization of purchase premium and discount. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date based on the amortized cost of the security sold and determined using the specific identification method.

Declines in the fair value of securities available-for-sale below their amortized cost are evaluated to determine whether the loss is temporary or other-than-temporary. If the Company (a) has the intent to sell a debt security or (b) more-likely-than-not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery, then the Company recognizes the entire unrealized loss in earnings as an other-than-temporary loss. If neither of these conditions are met, the Company evaluates whether a credit loss exists. The impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total impairment related to the credit loss and (b) the amount of total impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings and the amount related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors and may invest in additional amounts. The stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and as such is classified as restricted stock, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. The determination of whether the par value will ultimately be recovered is influenced by criteria such as the following: (a) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and the length of time this situation has persisted (b) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance (c) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and (d) the liquidity position of the FHLB. With consideration given to the previous criteria, management concluded that the stock was not impaired at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

Loans, net: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for loan losses, premiums and discounts on loans purchased, and net deferred loan fees/costs. Interest income on loans is recognized over the term of the loan and is calculated using the simple interest method on principal amounts outstanding. Direct loan origination fees and costs are generally being deferred and the net amounts amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. The Company generally amortizes these amounts over the contractual life. Direct loan origination fees and costs related to loans sold to unrelated third parties are recognized as income or expense in the current consolidated statement of income.

The Company’s portfolio segments are as follows:

Commercial

Agricultural

Residential real estate

Other

The Company’s classes of loans are as follows:

Commercial – operating

Commercial – real estate

Agricultural – operating

Agricultural – real estate

Residential real estate – 1-4 family

Residential real estate – home equity

Other – construction and land

Other – consumer

Generally, for all classes of loans, loans are considered past due when contractual payments are delinquent for 31 days or greater.

For all classes of loans, loans will generally be placed on nonaccrual status when the loan has become greater than 90 days past due; or when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, payments received will be applied to the principal balance. However, interest may be taken on a cash basis in the event the loan is fully secured and the risk of loss is minimal. Previously recorded but uncollected interest on a loan placed in nonaccrual status is accounted for as follows: if the previously accrued but uncollected interest and the principal amount of the loan is protected by sound collateral value based upon a current, independent qualified appraisal, such interest may remain on the Company’s books. If such interest is not so protected, it is considered a loss with the amount thereof recorded in the current year being reversed against current interest income, and the amount recorded in the prior year being charged against the allowance for possible loan losses.

For all classes of loans, nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status provided the following criteria are met:

The loan is current, and all principal and interest amounts contractually due have been made,

The loan is well secured and in the process of collection, and

Future principal and interest payments are not in doubt.

Troubled debt restructures: Troubled debt restructuring exists when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession (either imposed by court order, law, or agreement between the borrower and the Company) to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions could include forgiveness of principal, extension of maturity dates, and reduction of stated interest rates or accrued interest. The Company is attempting to maximize its recovery of the balances of the loans through these various concessionary restructurings. See Note 3 for disclosure of the Company’s troubled debt restructurings.

Allowance for loan losses: For all portfolio segments, the allowance for loan losses is maintained at the level considered adequate by management of the Company to provide for losses that are probable. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. In determining the adequacy of the allowance balance, the Company makes continuous evaluations of the loan portfolio and related off-balance sheet commitments, considers current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans and other factors.

A discussion of the risk characteristics and the allowance for loan losses by each portfolio segment follows:

For commercial loans, the Company focuses on small and mid-sized businesses in their geographical footprint. The Company provides a wide range of commercial loans, including lines of credit for working capital and operational purposes, and term loans for the acquisition of real estate, facilities, equipment and other purposes. Approval is generally based on the following factors:

Sufficient cash flow to support debt repayment;

Ability and stability of current management of the borrower;

Positive earnings and financial trends;

Earnings projections based on reasonable assumptions;

Financial strength of the industry and business;

Value and marketability of collateral.

Collateral for commercial loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. The lending policy specifies approved collateral types and corresponding maximum advance percentages. The value of collateral pledged on loans typically exceeds the loan amount by a margin sufficient to absorb potential erosion of its value in the event of foreclosure and cover the loan amount plus costs incurred to convert it to cash.

The lending policy specifies maximum term limits for commercial loans. For term loans, the typical maximum term is 10 years. The lending policy includes guidelines for real estate appraisals, including minimum appraisal standards based on certain transactions. Where the purpose of the loan is to finance depreciable equipment, the term loan generally does not exceed the estimated useful life of the asset. For lines of credit, the typical maximum term is 1 year. However, longer maturities may be approved if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral.

In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees to help assure repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the overall financial condition of the borrower.

Agricultural loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans. The Company provides a wide range of agriculture loans, including lines of credit for working capital and operational purposes, and term loans for the acquisition of real estate, facilities, equipment and other purposes. Approval is generally based on the following factors:

Sufficient cash flow to support debt repayment;

Ability and stability of current management of the borrower;

Positive earnings and financial trends;

Earnings projections based on reasonable assumptions;

Financial strength of the industry and business; and

Value and marketability of collateral.

Collateral for agricultural loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory (typically grain or livestock), equipment and real estate. The lending policy specifies approved collateral types and corresponding maximum advance percentages. The value of collateral pledged on loans typically exceeds the loan amount by a margin sufficient to absorb potential erosion of its value in the event of foreclosure and cover the loan amount plus costs incurred to convert it to cash.

The lending policy specifies maximum term limits for agricultural loans. For term loans, the typical maximum term is 10 years. The lending policy includes guidelines for real estate appraisals, including minimum appraisal standards based on certain transactions. Where the purpose of the loan is to finance depreciable equipment, the term loan generally does not exceed the estimated useful life of the asset. For lines of credit, the typical maximum term is 1 year. However, longer maturities may be approved if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral.

In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees to help assure repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the overall financial condition of the borrower.

In some instances for all loans, it may be appropriate to originate or purchase loans that are exceptions to the guidelines and limits established within the lending policy described above and below. In general, exceptions to the lending policy do not significantly deviate from the guidelines and limits established within the lending policy and, if there are exceptions, they are clearly noted as such and specifically identified in loan approval documents.

For commercial loans and agricultural loans, the allowance for estimated losses on loans consists of specific and general components.

The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, as defined below. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.

For commercial loans and agricultural loans, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a case-by-case basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The general component consists of quantitative and qualitative factors and covers non-impaired loans. The quantitative factors are based on historical charge-off experience. The qualitative factors are determined based on an assessment of internal and/or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss data. The Company’s credit quality indicator for all loans excluding commercial loans is past due or performance status. The Company’s credit quality indicator for commercial loans is internal risk ratings.

For commercial and agriculture loans, the Company utilizes the following internal risk rating scale:

Highest Quality – Loans represent a credit extension of the highest quality. Excellent liquidity, management and character in an industry with favorable conditions. High quality financial information, history of strong cash flows and superior collateral including readily marketable assets, prime real estate, U.S. government securities, U.S. government agencies, highly rated municipal bonds, insured savings accounts, and insured certificates of deposit drawn on high-quality financial institutions.

Good Quality – Loans which have a sound primary and secondary source of repayment. Strong to good liquidity, management and character in an industry with favorable conditions. Good quality financial information and margins of cash flow coverage is consistently good. Loans may be unsecured, secured by quality (but less readily marketable) assets, high quality real estate or traded stocks, lower grade municipal bonds (which must still be investment grade), and uninsured certificates of deposit on other financial institutions may also be included in this grade.

Acceptable Quality – Loans where the borrower is a reasonable credit risk and demonstrates the ability to repay the debt from normal business operations. Good liquidity, management and character in an industry that is more sensitive to external factors. Alternative sources of refinancing may be less available in periods of uncertain economic conditions. Term debt is moderate but cash flow margins fall within bank policy guidelines. Quality of financial information is adequate but is not as detailed and sophisticated as information found on higher-grade loans. Secured by business assets that conform to usual lending parameters for margin and eligibility or real estate that is deemed to be of satisfactory quality in an area that may not be prime but still within viable economic centers.

Fair Quality – Loans where the borrower is a reasonable credit risk but shows a more erratic earnings history (a loss may have been realized in the past four years). Liquidity is limited and primary repayment is susceptible to unfavorable external factors. Industry characteristics are generally stable. Borrower is more highly leveraged with increased levels of term debt. Cash flow margins remain adequate but may not fall within the policy guidelines. Quality of financial information is adequate and interim reporting may be required. Secured by business assets with an adequate collateral margin or real estate that is of fair quality and location. Property may have limited alternative uses and may be considered a “special use” facility.

Special Mention – Loans in this category have the potential for developing weaknesses that deserve extra attention from the account manager and other management personnel. If the developing weakness is not corrected or mitigated, the ability of the borrower to repay the Company’s debt in the future may deteriorate. This grade should not be assigned to loans that bear certain peculiar risks normally associated with the type of financing involved, unless circumstances have caused the risk to increase to a level higher than would have been acceptable when the credit was originally approved. If a loan’s actual, not potential, weakness or problems are clearly evident and significant it should generally be graded in one of the following grade categories.

Substandard – Loans and other credit extensions are considered to be inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. These loans, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual loans classified substandard.

Doubtful – Loans and other credit extensions have all the weaknesses inherent in those graded “6” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include: proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation actions; capital injection; perfecting liens on collateral and refinancing plans. Loans in this classification should be placed in non-accrual status, with collections applied to principal.

Loss – Loans are considered uncollectible and cannot be justified as a viable asset of the Bank. This classification does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value. However, it is not prudent to delay writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future.

For commercial and agricultural loans or credit relationships with aggregate exposure greater than $250,000, a loan review is required within 12 months of the most recent credit review. The reviews are completed in enough detail to, at a minimum, validate the risk rating. Additionally, the reviews shall determine whether any documentation exceptions exist, appropriate written analysis is included in the loan file, and whether credit policies have been properly adhered to.

Many of the residential real estate loans underwritten by the Company conform to the underwriting requirements of Freddie Mac or other secondary market aggregators to allow the Company to resell loans in the secondary market. Servicing rights are retained on many, but not all, of the residential real estate loans sold in the secondary market. The lending policy establishes minimum appraisal and other credit guidelines.

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. As of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, loans held for sale were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Periodically, the Company originates first mortgage loans for other investors. Generally, the Company receives fees equivalent to a stated percentage of the loan amount. This fee is recognized as income at the time of closing. From time to time, the Company also originates loans for sale in the secondary market. Gain on sale of loans in the secondary market is included in noninterest income.

The Company provides many types of consumer and other loans, including motor vehicle, home improvement, home equity, signature loans and small personal credit lines. The lending policy addresses specific credit guidelines by consumer loan type.

For residential real estate loans and consumer and other loans, these large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. In estimating the allowance for loan losses for these loans, the Company applies quantitative and qualitative factors on a portfolio segment basis. Quantitative factors are based on historical charge-off experience and qualitative factors are based on an assessment of internal and/or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss data. Accordingly, the Company generally does not separately identify individual residential real estate loans and/or consumer and other loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

Troubled debt restructures are considered impaired loans and are subject to the same allowance methodology as described above for impaired loans by portfolio segment.

Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights are recognized separately when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. The Company subsequently measures each class of servicing assets on the amortization method. Under the amortization method, servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The amortized assets are assessed for impairment based on fair value of each reporting date.

Transfers of financial assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company; (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets it received, and no condition both constrains the transferee from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor; and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.

Premises and equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is included in noninterest expense and is computed on 25 to 40 years for buildings and improvements that extend the life of the original building, 10 to 20 years for routine building improvements, 5 to 15 years for furniture and equipment, 5 years for vehicles, and 2 to 5 years for computer equipment. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred.

Long-term assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value. No impairment has been recognized by the Company for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Foreclosed assets: Assets acquired through foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, establishing a new cost basis. If the fair value less costs to sell is less than the respective loan balance, a charge against the allowance for loan losses is recorded upon property acquisition. Declines in property value subsequent to acquisition are charged to operations. Holding costs are expensed as incurred.

Brokerage fee income: Acting as an agent, the Company earns brokerage income by buying and selling securities on behalf of its customers through independent third parties and earning fees on the transactions. These fees are recorded on the settlement date, which is not materially different than the trade date.

Income taxes: Income tax expense or benefit is the sum of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequence of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company follows the guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which allows the Company to recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. When applicable, the Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax (benefit) expense.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The cost of shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) but not yet allocated to participants is presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market price of the shares as the shares are committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts. Because participants may require the Company to purchase their ESOP shares upon termination of their employment, the appraised fair value of all earned and allocated ESOP shares is reclassified from stockholders’ equity.

Stock based compensation: Compensation cost for stock based compensation is recognized based on the fair value of these awards at the date of the grant over the requisite service period, usually the vesting period. The Company uses a Black-Scholes pricing model and related assumption for estimating the fair value of stock options and a five-year vesting period for stock options and restricted stock awards.

Loan commitments and related financial instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer-financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Fair value of financial instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market value information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 14. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Earnings per share: Basic earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, including allocated and committed to be released ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share shows the dilutive effect, if any, of additional common shares issuable under stock options or awards.

Loss contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that there are such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive income (loss): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale, net of tax.

Recent accounting pronouncements: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU is effective for the Company with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The purpose of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity. The Update replaces the current incurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. This ASU is expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this will have on its financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows; Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The purpose of this Update is to address existing diversity in practice related to specific cash flow issues.

The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The purpose of this Update is to shorten the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 Compensation – Stock Compensation. The purpose of this Update is to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
