RETIREMENT PLAN [Abstract]  
RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTE 10. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company provides a tax-qualified profit-sharing retirement plan under section 401k of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of eligible employees with an accumulation of funds for retirement on a tax-deferred basis and provides for annual discretionary contribution to individual trust funds.

All employees are eligible to participate. The employees may make voluntary contributions to the plan up to the maximum percentage allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. Vesting in employee matching contributions is graded and depends on the years of service. After three years from their date of hire, the employees are 100% vested.  The Company makes matching contributions of 50% of the employee contributions up to a total of 3% of participant payroll. During 2009 and throughout 2011 the Company's management suspended the matching contribution as a cost cutting measure.

The Company's contributions and expense during 2011, 2010 and 2009 approximated zero, zero and $6,960, respectively.
