PENSION PLANS | NOTE 16 - PENSION PLANS The Company has a noncontributory nonqualified defined benefit pension plan covering certain eligible employees. The Company-sponsored pension plan provides retirement benefits under pension trust agreements. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation during the highest three consecutive years during the last 10 years of employment. The Company accounts for its pension in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715 "Compensation-Retirement Benefits" ("ASC Topic 715"). ASC Topic 715 requires the recognition of a plan's over-funded or under-funded status as an asset or liability with an offsetting adjustment to AOCI. ASC Topic 715 requires the determination of the fair values of plans assets at a company's year-end and recognition of actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations as a component of Accumulated OCI. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefits cost. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods that are not initially recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost will be recognized as a component of Accumulated OCI. Those amounts will subsequently be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost as they are amortized during future periods. The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets:
The accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $16.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively. The table below reflects the assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations:
The table below reflects the assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension cost:
Net pension cost included the following components:
Benefit payments to be made from the Non-qualified Pension Plan are as follows:
Benefit payments are expected to be made from insurance policies owned by the Company. The cash surrender value for these policies was approximately $3.3 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Defined Contribution Plan The Company has a capital accumulation and salary reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the plan, all employees are eligible to contribute up to the maximum allowed by IRS regulation, with the Company matching dollar for dollar of any contribution up to 5%, which is subject to a $2,500 per employee annual limit. During 2012 and 2010, no matching contribution was made as a result of a management decision to reduce costs. During 2011 the Company partially reinstated the matching contribution and contributed $128,000 to the plan. |
