COMPUTER TASK GROUP, INCORPORATED 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Computer Task Group, Incorporated 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General - - The Plan is a defined contribution plan with salary reduction features as permitted under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is funded by employee and employer contributions and covers all employees of Computer Task Group, Incorporated (CTG) who complete one hour of service. Broker commissions associated with investment transactions are paid by the Plan. The assets of the Plan are maintained in mutual funds and employer stock held by Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
During 1999 CTG acquired two companies, Darca and Exempler, who had sponsored their own separate 401(k) plans. All employees of these companies became employees of CTG and became eligible to participate in the CTG 401(k) Retirement Plan. During January 2000, each of these two plans was merged into the CTG 401(k) Retirement Plan. None of the benefits offered under the prior plans were reduced after the merger into CTG’s plan.
SEC Filing Requirements – Prior to November 1, 2000, CTG contributed a discretionary supplemental matching contribution to the plan in the form of CTG stock. Beginning November 1, 2000, CTG changed their method of funding the employer matching contribution from employer stock to cash. On the same date, employer stock was added as a participant directed option in the plan. Since an interest in the shares was issued to the plan’s participants, the plan falls under the rules and reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This requires the plan to file Form 11-K with the SEC within 180 days of the plan’s year end. Since the SEC does not allow the limited scope audit permitted under the provisions of 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the DOL Regulations, a full scope audit is required to be performed.
Contributions - - The Plan provides for employee pre-tax contributions of 1% to 18% of salary, up to the maximum annual limitations allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company may contribute one-half of each participant’s elective contribution, not to exceed 2% of compensation for employees who work at least 1 hour during the Plan year. In addition, the Plan may contribute a discretionary supplemental matching contribution. The supplemental matching contribution is equal to one-half of each participant’s elective contribution greater than 4%, but less than 6% of compensation for employees who work at least 1,000 hours during the Plan year, and complete one year of service. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Participants may change their investment allocation on a daily basis.
Vesting - - Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Participants become 50% vested in employer contributions after three years of service and fully vested after four years of service. Should the Plan be deemed top-heavy, an alternate vesting schedule will apply for those top-heavy years.
Plan Termination - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants would become 100 percent vested in their employer contributions.
Forfeitures - - Amounts forfeited by participants are used to reduce future employer contributions. For the year ended December 31, 2000, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $1,122,117.
Participant Loans - Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less. Loan terms range from 1-5 years and may exceed five years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan administrator.
Participant Accounts - Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and, (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Withdrawals and Distributions - Unless a participant elects otherwise, distributions will be made as soon as practical after a participant’s normal retirement date or actual retirement date occurs. The normal retirement date is the date upon which a participant reaches age 65.
Participants may receive their accumulated vested benefits held by the Plan’s trustee upon termination of employment or elect to keep their vested balance in the Plan until the earlier of normal retirement age, death, or disability, if their account balance is in excess of $5,000. If the participant elects to keep their vested interest in the Plan, the participant’s account will continue to receive its share of earnings and losses.
NOTE 2. - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting - The accounts of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis of accounting.
Accounting Estimates - The process of preparing financial statements requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect certain types of assets, liabilities, and changes therein. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Investments - - The Plan’s assets are invested in the common stock of Computer Task Group, Incorporated and several mutual funds through Fidelity Management Trust Company, the Plan custodian and trustee. All investments are presented at market value based upon quoted market prices. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The 2001 market volatility of equity based investments is expected to substantially impact the value of such investments at any given time. It is likely that the value of the plan’s investments, both in total and in individual participant accounts, has declined since December 31, 2000.
Income Taxes - The Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination letter dated July 29, 1994 on the tax status of the Plan. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, income taxes have not been provided for in the accompanying financial statements as applicable federal and state regulations exempt the Plan and related trust fund from such taxes.
