Note 8: Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees over 21 years of age. Under this cash balance plan, the account balance for each participant will grow each year with annual pay credits based on age and years of service and monthly interest credits based on an amount established each year by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

The Company sponsors a postretirement benefit plan covering current and future retirees who acquire age 55 and 10 years of service or age 65 and 5 years of service. The post-retirement benefit plan provides coverage toward a retiree's eligible medical and life insurance benefits expenses.
