POSTRETIREMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS
NOTE 10 – POSTRETIREMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS
 
We terminated our postretirement healthcare plan in the third quarter of 2011 and no longer offer medical benefits to retired employees.  Because the elimination of these benefits reduced benefits previously earned, this action was treated as a negative plan amendment that reduced the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.    In addition, the plan amendment resulted in the immediate recognition of previously unrecognized prior service credits and actuarial losses, which was offset by an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income and deferred tax liabilities.
