Earnings Per Common Share [Abstract]

Note 2 – Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is derived by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and does not include the effect of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is derived by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding common stock equivalents. No common stock equivalents were outstanding at June 30, 2018 or June 30, 2017.

The following tables set forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
