NOTE 13. BENEFIT PLANS

 

401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan

 

The Company has a 401(k) and profit sharing plan covering substantially all full-time employees. The plan calls for matching contributions by the Company, and the Company makes discretionary contributions based on profits. Company contributions to this plan included in expense totaled $430 thousand, $501 thousand, and $1.1 million for 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The expense decreased in 2011 when compared to 2010 because forfeitures were used to reduce 401(k) costs during 2011. The expense decreased in 2010 when compared to 2009 due to a decline in the amounts accrued for the profit sharing portion of the plan based on lower profits.
