Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In consideration for the consent by the holders of our senior secured convertible notes and series A mandatorily redeemable and convertible preferred stock to the refinancing of our senior debt and amendment of our convertible notes, we have agreed to the following:
• | We will conduct an offering of at least $5 million of our common stock in a private placement or public offering to close no later than September 30, 2007. The common stock shall be issued for cash consideration. | ||
• | If we have not closed the offering by September 30, 2007, we are obligated to call upon the commitments we have received from Howard Brill, our president and chief executive officer, John Borer, managing director of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC and Charles Gwirtsman, the chairman of our board of directors, also referred herein as the stand-by purchasers, to purchase an aggregate of $3 million of common stock on September 30, 2007. | ||
• | If the dollar amount of common stock sold after February 28, 2007 and prior to September 30, 2007 exceeds $2 million, the obligation of the stand-by purchasers will be reduced by the amount of such excess with such reduction being allocated among them in proportion to their respective purchase commitments. | ||
• | The purchase price for the shares of common stock to be purchased by each stand-by purchaser will be equal to the volume weighted average price per share of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period ending on September 29, 2007 as reported by Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg terminates such reporting, then using such other reporting system as our board of the directors may designate in good faith) on the primary national or regional securities exchange or quotation system on which our common stock is then listed or quoted; provided, that if we have not conducted the offering in good faith using commercially reasonable efforts the purchase price for the shares shall be the higher of that price or $4.00 per share. The purchase price paid by the stand-by purchasers may be paid in cash, by delivery to us of our convertible notes held by such stand-by purchaser having an aggregate principal amount, including accrued interest, equal to the purchase price of the common stock to be so purchased, or a combination thereof, at the election of the stand-by purchaser making such payment. | ||
• | We will issue to each stand-by purchaser a warrant to purchase one share of common stock for each share purchased by such stand-by purchaser at an exercise price equal to 120% of the price at which the common stock is purchased. The warrants will expire on the seventh anniversary of issuance; provided, however, that no warrants shall be issued with respect to any portion of the common stock purchased by such stand-by purchasers through the surrender of convertible notes. |
The interest rate on our convertible notes and the premium accretion rate on our preferred stock shall be increased from 8.0% to 9.5% for the period beginning on February 28, 2007 and ending on the date on which we have issued at least $5 million of common stock for cash or, if such common stock has not been issued by September 30, 2007, the date on which the stand-by purchasers have purchased an aggregate of $3 million of common stock, as described above.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 28, 2007 we paid in full the outstanding balances owed to our then senior lender, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in the amount of $13,213,000, including an early retirement payment fee of $377,000, and terminated the underlying credit and security agreement.
Item 2.01 Completion of an Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On February 28, 2007, we closed the previously announced asset purchase agreement with Career Blazers Personnel Services, Inc., Career Blazers Contingency Professionals, Inc., Career Blazers Personnel Services of Washington, D.C., Inc. and CapeSuccess LLC, effective February 25, 2007. Under the agreement, we purchased substantially all of the property, assets and business of the sellers for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.25 million as adjusted based on the amount of net working capital of the purchased business. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $9 million at closing and a contingent payment of $1.25 million in November 2008 or January 2009 depending on when and if certain conditions, tied to the gross revenue received from the purchased business’ largest customer, are met. We financed the purchase through a refinancing of our senior debt as described in Item 2.03.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
In connection with the purchase of the Career Blazers assets, on February 28, 2007, we entered into a new credit agreement with CapitalSource Finance LLC. The new credit agreement provides for a revolving credit line, a $12 million term loan, and letters of credit, not to exceed $750,000, collateralized by our accounts receivable, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $30 million. The maximum amount of borrowing under the revolving credit line is $18 million, limited to 85% of eligible billed accounts receivable and 49% of unbilled accounts receivable. Interest on the revolving credit line is the prime rate plus 2.25% or the applicable 30, 60 or 90-day LIBOR rate plus 3.5%. A fee of 0.5% per annum is payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit line. An annual collateral management fee of $25,000 is also charged. The term loan bears interest at the prime rate plus 3.75% or the applicable 30, 60 or 90-day LIBOR plus 5.0%. Quarterly payments of $875,000 on the term loan are payable beginning June 30, 2007. Additionally, 75% of our annual free cash, as defined in the credit agreement, is due in April 2008, 2009 and 2010, and any unpaid balance is due in December 2010. Any proceeds from the disposition of assets, recoveries under insurance policies or the sale of debt or equity securities, unless such sales or issuances are approved by CapitalSource, will be applied to repay the loans.
We borrowed $10.75 million on the revolving credit line and $12 million on the term loan in connection with closing the transaction contemplated by the Career Blazers asset purchase agreement, as described in Item 2.01, and the termination of our credit facility with Wells Fargo on February 28, 2007, as described in Item 1.02. We paid a closing fee of $510,000 to CapitalSource.
The credit agreement requires that certain customer payments are paid directly to blocked lockbox accounts controlled by CapitalSource, providing, however, that absent the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, we may operate and transact business through the blocked accounts in the ordinary course of business, including making withdrawals from such accounts into a master deposit account we maintain.
The credit agreement includes various financial and other covenants with which we must comply with in order to maintain borrowing availability and avoid penalties, including senior and total leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum EBITDA, as defined, annual capital expenditure limitations and restrictions on the payment of dividends. Additionally, the credit agreement contains a provision that allows CapitalSource to call the outstanding balance of the loans if we experience any material adverse change in our business or financial condition.
Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On February 28, 2007 we amended Section II.X of our Certificate of Designations, Rights, and Preferences of the series A preferred stock to increase the premium paid on our preferred stock from 8.0% to 9.5% for the period beginning on February 28, 2007 and ending on the date on which we have issued at least $5 million of common stock for cash (or, if such common stock has not been issued by September 30, 2007, the date on which the stand-by-purchasers purchased an aggregate of $3 million of common stock, as described above). Before the amendment, the premium paid on our preferred stock was 8.0%, calculated without reference to our issuing additional common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Global Employment Holdings, Inc.
Global Employment Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Career Blazers Personnel Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Career Blazers Personnel Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shares of Cape, previously owned by former managers and certain classes of shareholders were purchased by Cape. Additionally, shares of the sister company of Career Blazers, not previously owned by Cape were purchased by Cape. While the ownership of the Company was not impacted, Cape consolidated its ownership of Career Blazers and the sister company to 100% ownership. As a result, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Career Blazers, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape.
Effective February 25, 2007, Global Employment Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) closed the asset purchase agreement with Career Blazers and Cape. Under the agreement, Holdings purchased substantially all of the property, assets and business of Career Blazers. Please refer to Note J. The acquisition of the assets was done through Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Friendly Advanced Software Technology, Inc.
Career Blazers, with offices in New York City, New Jersey, Washington DC and Maryland, provides temporary and permanent staffing and related services to clients in the northeastern region. We provide direct placement and temporary staffing services in a number of areas such as clerical, accounting and finance, contingency and call center, among others. Our direct hire placement practice group responds to our customers’ requests by finding suitable candidates from our network of candidates across a broad range of disciplines. We provide direct hire placement services on a contingency basis and as a retained service provider.
Our temporary staffing services consists of on-demand or short-term staffing assignments, contract staffing, on-site management, and human resource administration. Short-term staffing services assist employers in dealing with employee demands caused by such factors as seasonality, fluctuations in customer demand, vacations, illnesses, parental leave, and special projects without incurring the ongoing expense and administrative responsibilities associated with recruiting, hiring and retaining permanent employees. As more and more companies focus on effectively managing variable costs and reducing fixed overhead, the use of short-term staffing services allows companies to utilize the “just-in-time” approach for their personnel needs, thereby converting a portion of their fixed personnel costs to a variable expense.
Our contract staffing services place temporary employees with customers for time-periods of more than three months or for an indefinite time period. This type of arrangement often involves outsourcing an entire department in a large corporation or providing the workforce for a large project. In an on-site management arrangement, we place an experienced manager on-site at a customer’s place of business. The manager is responsible for conducting all recruiting, employee screening, interviewing, drug testing, hiring and employee placement functions at the customer’s facility for a long-term or indefinite period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reliable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Temporary service revenues are recognized as the Company’s employees render services to customers. Permanent placement revenues are recognized when employment candidates start permanent employment. Provisions for sales allowances, based on historical experience, are recognized at the time the related sale is recognized. All revenues are earned in the United States.
Net Earnings (Loss) per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. Basic and diluted shares outstanding were the same for 2006, 2005 and 2004 as there were no potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s policy is to invest any cash in excess of operating requirements in highly liquid, income-producing investments. The Company considers such investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments
The Company does not believe that its financial instruments, primarily cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable are subject to significant concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s cash periodically exceeds the FDIC limits on insured balances. Maintaining deposits with major banks mitigates this risk.
Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and, if necessary, a deposit or some other form of collateral or guarantee is obtained. Credit losses have generally been within management’s expectations. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the Company’s large number of customers and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic locations. The New York City office accounted for approximately 86%, 87% and 83% of total revenues, net for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Consequently, weakness in economic conditions in this region could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and all other accrued expenses approximate fair value as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 because of the short maturity of these items. The fair value of the Company’s debt instruments approximates the carrying value as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 based on current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and risk.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from customers of the Company for amounts due related to services provided for temporary staffing or permanent placement fees. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and underlying collateral or guarantees. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for temporary staffing accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Based on previous loss history, permanent placement allowances are established to estimate losses (returned placement revenues) due to placed candidates not remaining employed for the period guaranteed by the Company, which is normally 30 to 90 days. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible against the allowance for doubtful accounts, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company currently services small and medium-sized companies as well as divisions of Fortune 500 companies. As is common in the staffing industry, our engagements to provide temporary services to our customers are generally of a non-exclusive, short-term nature and subject to termination by the customer with little or no notice. During 2006, revenues from two customers was 60% of our revenues of which each accounted for 41% and 19%, respectively. At the end of 2006, we lost one customer that accounted for 6.1% of our 2006 revenues. During 2005, revenues from two customers was 64% of our revenues of which each accounted for 42% and 22%, respectively. During 2004, revenues from two customers was 62% of our revenues of which each accounted for 42% and 20%, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repairs that do not extend asset lives are charged against earnings in the period incurred. Gains or losses on the disposition of property and equipment are reflected in earnings and the related asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows:
• | Computer software 3 years | ||
• | Office equipment 5 years | ||
• | Furniture and fixtures 5 years | ||
• | Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. |
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets(SFAS 144). The Company’s primary long-lived assets are property and equipment. SFAS 144 requires a company to assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. Additionally, the standard requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date. No impairment charges were recorded in 2006, 2005 or 2004.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $274,000, $299,000 and $350,000, respectively.
Income Taxes
The current provision for income taxes represents estimated amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The overall change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax expense or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period of enactment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance based on an assessment of available evidence if deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation
SFAS 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payments(SFAS 123 (R)), which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB No. 25, requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. In April 2005, the SEC issued a press release that revises the required date of adoption under SFAS 123(R). The new rule allowed companies to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123(R) beginning in the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted the fair value method of accounting pursuant to SFAS 123 (R) for all issuances of restricted stock and stock options beginning in 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, as there were neither stock options granted during 2006, nor any outstanding stock option grants as of December 31, 2006.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company used the fair value method of accounting pursuant to SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for all issuances of stock options to non-employees. We used the intrinsic value method under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion, also referred to as APB, No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employeesand related interpretations in accounting for all stock options issued to employees until January 1, 2006. Under APB No. 25, compensation cost is recognized to the extent that the exercise price is less than the market price for the underlying stock on the date of grant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 157 —Fair Value Measurements.SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of SFAS 157 will change current practice. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The provisions of SFAS 157 should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied, with certain exceptions. In light of the sale of the Company’s assets, the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements is not applicable.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 109,which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon examination. If the tax position is deemed “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, the tax position is then valued to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective as of the beginning of our 2007 year. In light of the sale of the Company’s assets, the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements is not applicable.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified a consensus on the EITF Issue No. 06-03,How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation),(EITF 06-03) related to the classification of certain sales, value added and excise taxes within the income statement. The Task Force reached a tentative conclusion that the presentation of taxes on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. This EITF will become effective in the first quarter of 2007. In light of the sale of the Company’s assets, the impact of adopting the EITF on our consolidated financial statements is not applicable.
In March 2006 the FASB issued SFAS 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This statement is not applicable to us.
In March 2006 the FASB issued SFAS 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,and No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1,Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.This statement is not applicable to us.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an Amendment to APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.The Company has adopted this statement and it did not impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE E — CREDIT AGREEMENT AND LONG-TERM DEBT — RELATED PARTY
Career Blazers and certain operating subsidiaries (collectively the “Borrowers”) and Cape (the “Parent Guarantors”) entered into joint credit and senior subordinated loan agreements effective December 27, 1999. As of December 31, 2002 the Borrowers and Parent Guarantors were not in compliance with the terms of the joint credit facilities agreement. During 2002 and through March 2003, Deutsche Bank Trust Company (“the Lender”) extended and the Borrowers and Parent Guarantors entered into a number of forbearance agreements, under which the Lender agreed to forbear its remedies against the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantors in order to provide the Borrowers the opportunity to restructure the Borrowers’ equity ownership and execute a plan to restructure their debt and operating agreements. As a part of the restructuring, the Lender agreed to restructure the outstanding debt of the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantors, including the Company, whereby the Lender received equity ownership in Cape, which constituted 80.17% of the outstanding common stock of Cape, which was subsequently increased to 85%. The debt was reallocated to the Borrowers by Cape based upon the relative valuation of each entity by an independent third party. The restructuring was accounted for in accordance with SFAS 15, Troubled Debt Restructuring (“SFAS 15”). The restructuring of the Credit Facilities effectively resulted in the refinancing of the principal balance of the all previously outstanding debt facilities and related interest into a new term loan and a revolving facility in the amount of $4,000,000 which was subsequently increased to a commitment of $6,000,000 in May 2004. The revolver bore interest, payable monthly, at the higher of the Lender’s prime plus 3.75% or LIBOR plus 5.0%, and was originally due December 31, 2005. The long-term note bore interest at 15%, and was originally due December 31, 2005. In December, 2005, the facility’s maturity date was extended until December 31, 2006, at which time it was extended until the closing of the asset purchase agreement. Subsequent to the asset purchase agreement, the credit facility was terminated. There were no borrowings under the revolver at December 31, 2006 or 2005.
The credit facility was guaranteed jointly and severally by the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor with substantially all of the assets and stock of the Borrowers and Parent Guarantor pledged as collateral. The credit facility contained, among other provisions, covenants relating to maintenance of “Minimum Consolidated EBITDA” as defined in the New Term Loan, and restrictions on the amount of capital expenditures, indebtedness, dividends, investments, transactions with affiliates and mergers and dispositions of assets. As of December 31, 2006 the Borrowers were not in compliance with certain covenants. The Lenders waived compliance with the covenants.

The Company has established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets of $2,326,000 as of December 31, 2005. The valuation allowance resulted from the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to produce sufficient taxable income in future periods necessary to realize the benefits of the related net deferred tax assets. The Company determined that the net deferred tax assets should remain subject to an allowance until it has forecasted taxable income into the foreseeable future sufficient to realize such net deferred tax assets. As a result of the signed asset purchase agreement, the Company reinstated the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006, except as noted. The Company has established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006 of $133,000. The valuation allowance results from the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to produce sufficient state taxable income in various states in future periods necessary to realize the benefits of the related deferred tax assets. The Company determined that the net deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carry forwards should remain subject to an allowance until it has forecasted state taxable income into the foreseeable future sufficient to realize the related state net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance decreased $355,000 in 2005 from 2004, due primarily to a reduction in the net operating loss carry forwards.

NOTE I — EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
The Company has adopted a 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of all eligible employees of the Company, as defined in the Plan Agreement. The plan covers substantially all employees of the Company other than those who are highly compensated, a member of a collective bargaining unit under which retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining, or nonresident aliens. Highly compensated employees include 5% owners of the Company or an affiliated company and employees who received greater than the defined amount under current Department of Labor guidelines (as adjusted for cost-of-living increases) during the preceding plan year. The Plan allows participants to make pretax contributions limited to amounts established by tax laws. The employee contributions and earnings thereon are always 100% vested, and the employers’ match, if made, vests ratably over a six-year period. The Company currently does not match employee contributions. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan on the next entry date after turning age 21 and upon completion of at least 1,000 hours of service. The Plan allows for hardship withdrawals and loans from participant accounts. All amounts contributed to the Plan are deposited into a trust fund administered by independent trustees. Employer matching contributions are made as of the last day of each plan year at the discretion of the board of directors. No matching contributions were made for 2006, 2005 or 2004.
NOTE J — ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
