The Company sponsors a 401(k) employee savings plan which covers substantially all employees. Employees can contribute up to 15% of their gross income to the plan, and the Company matches a percentage of the employee’s contribution at a rate of 25%. Company contributions under the 401(k) plan totaled $144,600 and $145,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On September 1, 2006, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") which covers substantially all U.S. employees. Contributions to the ESOP are funded by the Company on a discretionary basis. In 2013 and 2012, the Company’s contribution consisted of shares of common stock from treasury measured by the fair value of the stock on date of contribution. Company contributions under the ESOP plan totaled approximately $125,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
