Other

 

401(k) Plan. Effective October 3, 1986, the Company adopted a Voluntary 401(k) Plan. All employees are eligible for the plan. Previously, employees who had worked for the Company for 18 months were currently eligible for a 34% match of their subsequent contributions, however, the match policy was suspended January 1, 2003. Benefits are determined annually. The lowest 66% of paid employees may contribute the lesser of 15% of their salary or the applicable maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. The top 1/3 of employees cannot contribute a percentage greater than 15% of their compensation or 150% of the average contribution of the lowest 66% of paid employees to the applicable maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. Employer contributions vest within three months and all contributions are held in individual employee accounts with an outside financial institution. Company shares have never been allowed to be invested in the 401(k) plan.

 

Stock Option Plan. To increase the officers, key employees and consultants interest in the Company and to align their interests more closely with the interests of the Company’s shareholders, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan called the “1996 Stock Option Plan” (the “Plan”) on May 28, 1996, as amended as of April 27, 2004 and March 2, 2005. The Plan as originally adopted and as amended as of April 27, 2004 was subsequently ratified by a majority vote of the Company’s shareholders.

 

Under the Plan, the Company has reserved an aggregate of 1,400,000 common shares for issuance pursuant to options granted under the Plan. Plan Options are either (1) options qualifying as incentive stock options or (2) options that do not qualify - non-qualified options. Any incentive option granted under the Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of such grant. The exercise price of non-qualified options shall be determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee but shall in no event be less than 75% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the grant. As of December 31, 2004, there were 181,700 incentive options and 185,000 non-qualified options existing under the plan.
