PENSION PLAN

NOTE M - PENSION PLAN

The Company had a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covering all eligible employees. On January 26, 2006, the Plan was frozen and amended to eliminate future benefit accruals after February 15, 2006.

Plan assets are invested in seven diversified investment funds of the Pentegra Retirement Trust, a no load series open-ended mutual fund. The long-term investment objective is to be invested 65% in equity securities (equity mutual funds) and 35% in debt securities (bond mutual funds). Asset rebalancing is performed at least annually, with interim adjustments made when the investment mix varies more than 5% from the target (i.e., a 10% target range). Risk/volatility is further managed by the distinct investment objectives of each of the funds and the diversification within each fund.

The following table sets forth the Plan’s funded status and amounts recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

For the year ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial net periodic pension cost was 2.75% and 3.25%, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 3.00% and 2.75%, respectively.

The long-term rate-of-return-on-assets assumption was set based on historical returns earned by equities and fixed income securities, adjusted to reflect expectations of future returns as applied to the plan’s target allocation of asset classes. Equities and fixed income securities were assumed to earn rates of return in the ranges of 6-8% and 3-5%, respectively, with an assumed long-term inflation rate of 2.5% reflected within these ranges for the year ended September 30, 2021. When these overall return expectations are applied to the plan’s target allocation, the result is an expected rate of return of 5.0% to 7.0%. Accordingly, the expected long-term rate of return on assets were 6.00% for 2022 and 6.25% for 2021.

Current Asset Allocation

The Plan’s weighted-average asset allocations at September 30, 2021 and 2020, by asset category are as follows:

The target asset allocation set for the assets of the Plan are in equity securities ranging from 50 percent to 75 percent and in debt securities ranging from 25 percent to 50 percent. In general, the Plan assets are investment securities that are well-diversified in terms of industry, capitalization and asset class. The Plan assets are mostly a mix of mutual funds indexed to the performance of Fortune 500 U.S. companies, debt securities held in bond funds, domestic and foreign common equity funds, and a money market fund. The Plan’s exposure to a concentration of credit risk is limited by the diversification of the investments into various investment options with multiple asset managers.

Expected Contributions

For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, the Company does not expect to contribute to the Plan.

Included in the funded status of the Plan at September 30, 2021 and 2020, are actuarial losses of $1,167,000 and $2,060,000, respectively.

During the year ending September 30, 2022, approximately $85,000 of the actuarial losses is expected to be amortized into net periodic pension expense.
