PetroCorp Incorporated 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
NOTE 1DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:
The following description of the PetroCorp Incorporated 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) retirement savings plan, adopted January 1, 1993. On January 31, 2001, the Board of Directors of PetroCorp Incorporated (the Company) passed a resolution to terminate the Plan. During 2002 and 2001, there were no active participants in the Plan. The remainder of Note 1 describes the Plan prior to Termination.
General
Employees of PetroCorp Incorporated (the Company) become eligible to participate in the Plan after six months of service with the Company. The entry date for each employee is the first day of the month following the sixth month of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
All Plan contributions are invested in separate pooled accounts under an annuity contract with Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company (Principal) or in common stock of the Company.
Contributions
Participants may contribute to the Plan subject to certain Internal Revenue Code limitations. The Company may match up to 100 percent of each participants contributions not to exceed six (6) percent of each participants annual compensation. Additionally, the Company may make discretionary contributions on behalf of the participants. In any event, total contributions by the participant and the Company may not exceed 20 percent of the participants annual compensation.
The Plan also allows participants to rollover contributions that have been made to other qualified plans.
Participant accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions, the Companys contributions and a pro rata share of the earnings of each fund in which the participant has invested. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants account.
Vesting
Participants are fully vested at all times in their individual contributions and rollover contributions plus actual earnings thereon.
4
Vesting in employer contributions and related earnings is based on the participants employment commencement date and years of continuous service. Participants whose employment commencement date occurred before January 1, 1994 are 100% vested. Participants whose employment commencement date occurred on or after January 1, 1994 are vested as follows:
Vesting Service (whole years) |
Vesting Percentage |
||
Less than 1 year |
0 | % | |
1 year |
25 | % | |
2 years |
50 | % | |
3 years |
75 | % | |
4 or more years |
100 | % |
In addition, participants also become fully vested in their employer contributions and related earnings upon retirement, at or after age 65, or upon death or total disability of the participant.
Investment options
Effective January 1, 1994, upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in any of fourteen investment options as follows:
Guaranteed Interest AccountFunds are invested in a guaranteed investment contract (GIC) with Principal.
Money Market AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which the funds are invested in high quality commercial paper with average maturities kept under 30 days to ensure current money market rates.
Government Securities AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which the funds are invested primarily in very high quality government mortgage-backed securities.
Bond & Mortgage AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which the funds are invested in investment grade private placement bonds, commercial mortgages, public corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities, all generally mature within five to 10 years.
Bond Emphasis Balanced AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which funds are invested in many asset classes, but emphasizes fixed income. This account invests 50 to 100 percent of the funds in Principal fixed-income separate pooled accounts, with the remainder in Principal equity separate pooled accounts.
Stock Emphasis Balanced AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which funds are invested in many asset classes, but emphasizes equities. This account invests 50 to 100 percent of the funds in Principal equity separate pooled accounts, with the remainder in Principal fixed-income separate pooled accounts.
5
Stock Index 500 AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which the funds are invested in the same stocks and in the same proportions as those stocks included in the Standard & Poors 500 Stock Index.
Large Company Blend AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which funds are invested in stocks of very large established companies.
Medium Company Value AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which the funds are invested in primarily income-producing common stocks that are under-valued in the marketplace according to traditional measures of value.
Small Company Blend AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which funds are invested in stocks of smaller, fast-growing companies.
Medium Company Blend AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which funds are invested in stocks of large, established companies whose earnings are expected to grow faster than the average company.
International Stock AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which the funds are invested in stocks of non-U.S. companies located primarily in Europe and Southeast Asia.
Real Estate AccountThis is a separate pooled account with Principal in which the funds are invested in equity investments in modern, developed, income-producing warehouses, office buildings and retail centers in major U.S. metropolitan areas. Earnings consist of property value changes and net rental income.
Company StockFunds are invested in the common stock of the Company.
Payment of benefits
Distribution of the participants entire account balance becomes due and payable upon retirement, at or after age 65, or upon death or total disability of the participant. Such account balances may be distributed either in a lump-sum distribution or in installments, as described in the Plan agreement. Upon termination of employment, a participant may elect to receive a lump-sum distribution equal to the vested balance of the participants account or continue to participate in the Plan investments. If the vested balance is less than $3,500, payment is made as soon as administratively practicable after termination. Additionally, participants may make hardship withdrawals from their individual contribution accounts at specified times during the Plan year, subject to certain restrictions.
Participants notes receivable
Under the terms of the Plan, with certain restrictions, participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lessor of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balances. A loan is secured by the vested balance in the participants account and bears interest at the prime interest rate plus two (2) percent. No loans were made in 2002 or 2001.
6
NOTE 2SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Under the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under ERISA, the Plan files Form 5500-C/R which is required for employee benefit plans with fewer than 100 participants. Employee benefit plans with 100 or more participants are required to file Form 5500. Those plans filing Form 5500 are required to prepare audited financial statements as well as all applicable schedules required by Section 2520.103-10 of the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under ERISA. Such requirements are not mandated for those plans filing Form 5500-C/R. Accordingly, the attached financial statements are unaudited and the above mentioned schedules are not presented.
Method of accounting
The Plans financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments
Plan investments, other than the GICs, are stated at fair value. The Company stock is valued at its quoted market price. Separate pooled accounts are valued at net asset value representing the value at which units of the account may be purchased or redeemed.
The Plans GICs are valued at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract plus interest at the guaranteed rate.
Contributions
Participant contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company makes payroll deductions from the Plan participants earnings. Matching Company contributions are recorded in the same period.
