(1) | Description of plan | |
The following description of the Stonepath Group, Inc. (the Company) 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. The effective date of the Plan is January 1, 2003. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. | ||
General The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of the Company who have six months of service and are age twenty-one or older. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). | ||
Contributions Each year, participants may contribute up to 100% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans (rollovers). Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Company contributes 50% of the first 8% of base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. The matching Company contribution is participant-directed. Contributions are subject to certain limitations as set forth by the Internal Revenue Code. | ||
Participant accounts Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution and allocations of (a) the Companys contribution, (b) Plan earnings, and (c) administrative expenses. Allocations of Plan earnings are based on participant account balances. Allocations of expenses are based on participant account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account. | ||
Vesting Participants contributions plus actual earnings are 100% vested immediately. Employer contributions made after January 1, 2003 are generally subject to the following vesting schedule: |
Years of Service | Vested % | |||
Less than 1
|
20 | % | ||
1
|
40 | % | ||
2
|
60 | % | ||
3
|
80 | % | ||
4
|
100 | % |
A participants account becomes 100% vested if the participant reaches age 65, dies, or becomes disabled while in the service of the Company. |

(1) | Description of plan (continued) | |
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. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at rates ranging from 2.0% to 10.5%, which are commensurate with local prevailing rates at the inception of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. | ||
Payment of benefits On termination of service, a participant will receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participants vested interest in his or her account. | ||
Forfeited accounts At December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $4,935 and $12,282, respectively. These accounts will be used to pay administrative expenses and reduce Company matching contributions. During the year ended December 31, 2005, forfeitures were used to pay $6,665 of administrative expenses and reduce employer contributions by $28,000. | ||
Investment options Upon enrollment in the Plan, participants may direct employee and Company contributions in the following investment options: |
| UBS Fiduciary Trust Company Common Collective Trust The participants may invest in various investment options under a common collective trust. A description of each investment option can be found in the Plan document. | ||
| Stonepath Group, Inc. Common Stock |
(2) | Summary of significant accounting policies | |
Basis of accounting The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. | ||
Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. | ||
Investment valuation and income recognition The value of each investment option within the common collective trust is determined at the close of each business day based on fair value as determined by the respective fund managers. The fair values are generally determined based on quoted market prices of the funds investment holdings. The value of the Companys common stock is based on the quoted market price. | ||
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. | ||
Payment of benefits Benefits are recorded when paid. | ||
Administrative expenses Administrative expenses relate to Plan administration, custodianship of investments, and the annual Plan audit. Additionally, certain expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company and are not included in the Plans financial statements. |
