Note 11-  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: 

 

The Company leases space for its corporate offices (including its manufacturing facility) at 140 58th Street, Suite 8E, Brooklyn, New York. The lease term runs from December 1, 2010 through November 30, 2020. The basic minimum annual rentals are as follows:

 

Fiscal year ending March:        
         
2015   $ 163,240  
2016     168,120  
2017     173,180  
2018     178,360  
2019     183,720  
Thereafter     317,840  
    $ 1,184,460  

 

The rental expense for the nine months ended December 26, 2014 was $121,230 and $118,070 for the nine months ended December 27, 2013.

 

The Company has a collective bargaining multi-employer pension plan (“Multi-Employer Plan”) with the United Auto Workers of America, Local 259 (“UAW”). Contributions are made by the Company in accordance with a negotiated labor contract and are based on the number of covered employees employed per month. With the passage of the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendment Act of 1990 (the “1990 Act”), the Company may become subject to liabilities in excess of contributions made under the collective bargaining agreement. Generally, these are contingent upon termination, withdrawal, or partial withdrawal from the Multi-Employer Plan.

 

The Company has not taken any action to terminate, withdraw or partially withdraw from the Multi-Employer Plan, nor does it intend to do so in the future. Under the 1990 Act, liabilities would be based upon the Company's proportional share of the Multi-Employer Plan's unfunded vested benefits which is currently not available. The amount of accumulated benefits and net assets of such Plan also is not currently available to the Company. The total contributions charged to operations under the provisions of the Multi-Employer Plan were $93,266 for the nine months ended December 26, 2014 and $80,726 for the nine months ended December 27, 2013.
