Note 8 – Defined Benefit Plan

 

The Company received a letter dated July 27, 2011 from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, (“PBGC”), stating that the Company’s defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) was terminated as of September 30, 2010, and the PBGC was appointed trustee of the Plan. Pursuant to the agreement, the PBGC has a claim to the Company for the total amount of the unfunded benefit liabilities of the Plan of plus accrued interest. The PBGC has notified the Company that the liability is due and payable as of the termination date, and interest accrues on the unpaid balance at the applicable rate provided under Section 6621(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The total amount outstanding to the PBGC at February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013 was $1,938,027 and $1,914,392, respectively, including accrued interest, which is recorded as a current liability. The Company made no payments to the Plan in the three-months periods ended February 28, 2014 and 2013.  The Plan covers approximately 40 former employees.

 

Effective June 30, 1995, the Plan was frozen, ceasing all benefit accruals and resulting in a plan curtailment.   There was no pension expense recorded in the three-month periods ended February 28, 2014 and 2013.
