Retirement Plan [Abstract] |
Retirement Plan | M. RETIREMENT PLANS The Company has a defined contribution profit‑sharing plan covering substantially all of its full-time U.S. employees. Participants may voluntarily contribute a percentage of compensation, but not in excess of the maximum allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. The plan provides for a matching contribution by the Company. The Company's total contributions charged to expense under this plan were $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the years ended August 31, 201 2, 20 11 and 20 10, respectively. A supplementary non‑qualified, non‑funded retirement plan for six former executives is also maintained. Plan benefits are based on the executive's average total compensation during the three highest compensation years of employment. This unfunded supplemental retirement plan is not subject to the minimum funding requirements of ERISA. The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain former executives named in this supplemental retirement plan to provide funding for this liability. As of August 31, 201 2 and 20 11, the funded status of the supplemental retirement plan was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company utilizes an August 31 measurement date for plan obligations related to the supplemental retirement plan. As this is an unfunded retirement plan, the funded status is equal to the benefit obligation. The funded status of the plan and the net amount recognized in the accompanying balance sheets as of August 31 is as follows:
|  | August 31,
$ in thousands |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Change in benefit obligation: |  |  |  |  |  |
Benefit obligation at beginning of year |  | $ | 6,787 |  | $ | 6,957
Interest cost |  |  | 325 |  |  | 334
Actuarial loss |  |  | 823 |  |  | 53
Benefits paid |  |  | (557) |  |  | (557)
Benefit obligation at end of year |  | $ | 7,378 |  | $ | 6,787
Amounts recognized in the statement of financial position consist of:
|  | August 31,
$ in thousands |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Other current liabilities |  | $ | 557 |  | $ | 557
Pension benefit liabilities |  |  | 6,821 |  |  | 6,230
Net amount recognized |  | $ | 7,378 |  | $ | 6,787
The before-tax amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of August 31 consists of:
|  | August 31,
$ in thousands |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Net actuarial loss |  | $ | (4,101) |  | $ | (3,445)
For the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company assumed a discount rate of 3.75 percent and 5.00 percent, respectively, for the determination of the liability. The assumptions used to determine benefit obligations and costs are selected based on current and expected market conditions. The discount rate is based on a hypothetical portfolio of long-term corporate bonds with cash flows approximating the timing of expected benefit payments. For the years ended August 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company assumed a discount rate of 5.00 percent, 5.00 percent and 5.25 percent, respectively, for the determination of the net periodic benefit cost. The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the supplemental retirement plan for the years ended August 31 are as follows:
|  | For the years ended August 31,
$ in thousands |  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010
Interest cost |  | $ | 325 |  | $ | 334 |  | $ | 351
Net amortization and deferral |  |  | 166 |  |  | 164 |  |  | 178
Total |  | $ | 491 |  | $ | 498 |  | $ | 529
The estimated actuarial loss for the supplemental retirement plan that will be amortized, on a pre-tax basis, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost during fiscal 2013 will be $212. The Company’s future annual contributions to the supplemental retirement plan will be equal to expected net benefit payments since the plan is unfunded. The following net benefit payments are expected to be paid:
| Fiscal Years |  | $ in thousands |
| 2013 |  | 557 |
| 2014 |  | 541 |
| 2015 |  | 536 |
| 2016 |  | 531 |
| 2017 |  | 524 |
| Thereafter |  | 4,689 |
|  |  | 7,378 |
