Profit Sharing Plan and 401k Plan

Note 11 Profit Sharing Plan and 401k Plan

The Company sponsors a profit sharing plan for all employees not covered under a separate management incentive plan. Under the profit sharing plan, a percentage determined by the Board of Directors of pre-tax profits on a quarterly basis may be allocated to non-management employees at management’s discretion. The profit sharing bonus may be distributed all in cash on an after-tax basis or distributed half in cash (on an after-tax basis) and the remainder deposited in an employee’s 401(k) account on a pre-tax basis. Employees may also make voluntary pre-tax contributions to their 401(k) accounts. Compensation expense under this plan was approximately $146,000, $62,000 and $92,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additionally, the Company makes a retirement contribution to all employees individual 401(k) accounts equal to two percent of each employee’s base pay for each bi-weekly pay period on a pre-tax basis.  Retirement expense under this plan was approximately $70,000, $62,000 and $66,000 for fiscal years ended March 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
