Retirement and Other Benefit Plans | NOTE 3 - Retirement and Other Benefit Plans: Noncontributory-Trusteed Defined Benefit Retirement Plans for Sales, Administrative, Supervisory and Certain Other Employees We have noncontributory-trusteed defined benefit retirement plans for sales, administrative, supervisory, and certain other employees. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, we froze future benefit accruals under these plans for employees classified within the administrative, sales or supervisory job classifications or within any non-bargaining class. The benefits under these plans are primarily based on years of service and compensation levels. The funding policy of the plans requires contributions which are at least equal to the minimum required contributions needed to avoid a funding deficiency. The measurement date for the plans is our fiscal year end. Net pension income consisted of the following: Schedule of Net Pension Cost
|  | November 1, 2024 |  |  | November 3, 2023 |
|  | (52 Weeks) |  |  | (53 Weeks) |

Amortization of unrecognized loss |  |  | 349 |  |  |  | 615 |
Net pension income |  | $ | (215 | ) |  | $ | (79 | )
Net pension costs and benefit obligations are determined using assumptions as of the beginning of each fiscal year. Weighted average assumptions for each fiscal year are as follows: Schedule of Assumptions Used

We perform an internal rate of return analysis when making the discount rate selection. The discount rates were based on FTSE Pension Discount Curve (formerly Citibank) as of November 1, 2024, and November 3, 2023, respectively. The plans’ assets are primarily invested in marketable equity securities, corporate and government debt securities, and the assets are administered by an investment management company. The plans’ long-term return on assets is based on the weighted average of the plans’ investment allocation as of the measurement date and the published historical returns for those types of asset categories, taking into consideration inflation rate forecasts. No expected employer contribution to the plans in fiscal year 2025 is planned. For fiscal year 2024, our actuary used mortality tables from the Pri-2012 Total Dataset Mortality Table with MP-2021 Scaling. The expected rate of return on the plans’ assets was 5.00% and 7.00% effective for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively. On May 22, 2024, we transitioned our pension plan assets held with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC to align with our updated investment policy statement to shift away from equities to fixed income. This derisking strategy helps establish a basis for our investment results as well as helping to ensure that assets of the Plan are managed in accordance with the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and regulations pertaining thereto. The actual and target allocation for the plans’ assets are as follows: Schedule of Allocation of Plan Assets
Asset Class |  | 2024 |  |  | Target Asset Allocation |  |  | 2023 |  |  | Target Asset Allocation |

Executive Retirement Plans Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Effective January 1, 1991, we adopted a deferred compensation savings plan for certain key employees. Under this arrangement, selected employees contribute a portion of their annual compensation to the plan. We contribute an amount to each participant’s account by computing an investment return equal to Moody’s Average Seasoned Bond Rate plus 2%. Employees receive vested amounts upon death, termination, or attainment of retirement age. No benefit expense was recorded under this plan for fiscal years 2024 and 2023. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Retirement benefits otherwise available to certain key executives under the Primary Benefit Plan have been limited by the effects of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”) and the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (“TRA”). To offset the loss of retirement benefits associated with TEFRA and TRA, the Company has adopted a non-qualified “makeup” benefit plan (the “Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan”). Benefits will be provided under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan in an amount equal to 60% of each participant’s final average earnings minus any pension benefits and primary insurance amounts available to them under Social Security. However, in all cases the benefits are capped at $120,000 per year for Allan L. Bridgford. Benefits provided under this plan for William L. Bridgford and Raymond F. Lancy are calculated at 50% of final average earnings, capped at $200,000 per year, without offsets for other pension or Social Security benefits. Benefits payable related to these plans and included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements were $5,046 and $4,994 as of November 1, 2024, and November 3, 2023, respectively. The benefit payable is recorded as $333 and $249 under current liabilities and $4,713 and $4,745 under non-current liabilities as of November 1, 2024, and November 3, 2023, respectively. In connection with these arrangements, we are the beneficiary of life insurance policies on the lives of certain key employees and retirees. The aggregate cash surrender value of these policies, included in non-current assets, was $14,032 and $12,029 as of November 1, 2024, and November 3, 2023, respectively. The net periodic pension income was $109 and $1,057 for fiscal year 2024 and 2023, respectively, caused by the change in pension discount rate between years. Expected payments for executive postretirement benefits are as follows: Schedule of Expected Payments for Pension Benefits

Incentive Compensation Plan for Certain Key Executives We provide an incentive compensation plan for certain key executives, which is based upon our pretax income. The payment of these amounts is generally deferred over three or five-year periods. The total amount payable related to this arrangement was $2,267 and $3,848 as of November 1, 2024, and November 3, 2023, respectively. Future payments are approximately $1,531, $694, $33 and $9 for fiscal years 2025 through 2028, respectively. Postretirement Healthcare Benefits for Selected Executive Employees We provide postretirement health care benefits for selected executive employees. Net periodic postretirement healthcare (benefit) cost is determined using assumptions as of the beginning of each fiscal year, except for the total actual benefit payments and the discount rate used to develop the net periodic postretirement benefit expense, which is determined at the end of the fiscal year. Net periodic postretirement healthcare cost (benefit) consisted of the following: Schedule Net Periodic Post-retirement Healthcare (benefit) Cost
