Employees' Retirement Plan:

The Company sponsors a noncontributory Money Purchase Plan covering substantially all of its non-union employees. Operations were charged $115,675 and $210,495 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively, and $102,497 and $191,370 as contributions to the Plan for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, respectively.

Multi-employer plan:

The Company contributes to a union sponsored multi-employer pension plan covering its union employees. The Company contributions to the pension plan were $13,571 and $23,908 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, respectively, and $10,953 and $21,553 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, respectively. Contributions and costs are determined in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts or terms of the plans. The Company also contributes to union sponsored health benefit plans.

Contingent Liability for Pension Plan:

Information as to the Company's portion of accumulated plan benefits and plan assets is not reported separately by the pension plan. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, upon withdrawal from a multi-employer benefit plan, an employer is required to continue to pay its proportionate share of the plan's unfunded vested benefits, if any. Any liability under this provision cannot be determined: however, the Company has not made a decision to withdraw from the plan.
