Employee 401(k) Plan

11.  Employee 401(k) Plan

In December 1998, the Company adopted a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), to provide retirement benefits for employees.  As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides tax-deferred salary deductions for eligible employees.  Employees may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum annual amount as set periodically by the Internal Revenue Service.  In addition, the Company may make discretionary/matching contributions.  During 2011 and 2010, the Company contributed a total of approximately $43,200 and $45,200, to the Plan, respectively.
