Description of Plan | |
The following description of the Smith & Hawken 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a complete description of the Plans provisions. | ||
General: | ||
The Plan, which began February 28, 1999, is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of Smith & Hawken, Ltd. (the Company) who meet the hour and age requirements. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). | ||
The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2006, in order to satisfy the requirements of a safe harbor plan. The Plan was amended and restated effective January 23, 2003, for provisions stated in the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA). | ||
Eligibility: | ||
All employees of the Company age twenty-one and older, except nonresident aliens working outside the United States and temporary/leased employees, and who have completed two months of service in a twelve month period are eligible to participate in the Plan and to receive safe harbor matching contributions by the Company. Employees of the Company age twenty-one and older and who have completed 1,000 hours of service in a twelve month period are eligible to receive discretionary nonelective employer contributions. | ||
Contributions: | ||
Each participant may elect to contribute to the Plan, though salary deferrals, a minimum of 1% to a maximum 75% of their pretax annual compensation. Contributions are limited to the amounts defined by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and indexed annually for inflation. The Plan limits the salary deferral of a participant if the participants annual contribution limitations are exceeded, as described by the IRC. The maximum pre-tax contributions for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $15,000 and $14,000, respectively. The Plan also provides that participants who are projected to be age 50 or older by the end of the calendar year and who are making deferral contributions to the Plan may also make catch-up contributions of up to $5,000 and $4,000 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |

Description of Plan, Continued | |
Contributions, continued: | ||
With the adoption of the 401(k) Safe-Harbor Provisions effective January 1, 2006, Company matching contributions were mandatory. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company matched 100% of each participants contribution, up to the first 3% of covered compensation, plus 50% of the next 2% of covered compensation. At its discretion, the Company may make discretionary nonelective employer contributions to the Plan. The aggregate discretionary nonelective employer contributions were $356,566 and $2,932 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. | ||
Participants are also allowed to make rollover contributions of amounts received from other qualified employer sponsored retirement plans. All contributions are invested as directed by each participant. | ||
Participants Accounts: | ||
401(k) Accounts Each participants account is credited with the participants elective contributions, employer matching contributions, earnings and losses thereon. Rollover contributions from other plans are also accepted, providing certain specified conditions are met. | ||
Vesting: | ||
For the year ended December 31, 2006, all participants are 100% vested in elective deferrals, rollover contributions, safe harbor matching contributions made by the Company, and any earnings thereon. Participants become 100% vested in the discretionary nonelective employer contributions after 3 years of service. For the year ended December 31, 2005, all participants are 100% vested in elective deferrals, qualified non-elective contributions and rollover contributions made to the Plan. | ||
Participants Loans: | ||
Loans are permitted under certain circumstances and are subject to limitations. Participants may borrow from their account up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loans are repaid over a period not to exceed 5 years with exceptions for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at rates established by Fidelity Management Trust Company. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. | ||

Description of Plan, Continued | |
Other Plan Provisions: | ||
Normal retirement age is 65, however, a participant may elect early retirement on or after age 55. The Plan also provides for early payment of benefits after reaching age 59-1/2. | ||
Payment of Benefits: | ||
Upon termination of service by reason of retirement, death or total and permanent disability, a participant receives a lump sum amount equal to the vested value of his or her account. | ||
Hardship Withdrawals: | ||
Hardship withdrawals are permitted in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines. | ||
Investment Options: | ||
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct his or her contributions in any of the investment options offered by the Plan. | ||
Forfeitures: | ||
Forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $-0- and $679 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting: | ||
The Plans transactions are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. | ||
As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the Fidelity Advisor Stable Value Fund, a fully benefit-responsive investment contract from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. | ||
Cash equivalents include short-term investments with original term to maturity of 90 days or less. Cost approximates fair value. | ||
The Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Gains and losses on sales of investments are based on the average cost method. | ||
Use of Estimates: | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued | |
Administrative Fees: | ||
The fees and expenses of administering the Plan are paid by the Plan sponsor, except for fees relating to the investment management services of the Plan ($11,022 in 2006 and $8,585 in 2005). | ||
Plan Termination: | ||
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. | ||
Risks and Uncertainties: | ||
The Plans investments include investments in mutual funds and collective funds holding investment contracts with varying degrees of risk, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits. | ||

|
Tax Status | |
The Plan is an adoption of the standardized prototype plan written by Fidelity Management & Research Company. The prototype sponsor received a favorable determination letter dated October 9, 2003, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the prototype plan, as then designated, was in compliance with applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax exempt as of the financial statement dates. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. |

Investments | |
The Plans funds are invested in the various stock, bond and cash investments through the Fidelity Management Trust Company. Investments which constitute more than 5% of the Plans net assets are: |

Investment Contract with Fidelity Management Trust Company | |
The Plan holds a stable value investment contract, Fidelity Advisor Stable Value Fund, (the Fund) with Fidelity Management Trust Company, the trustee. The Fund is an open-end commingled pool dedicated exclusively to the management of assets of defined contribution plans. The Fund invests in underlying assets (typically fixed-income securities or bond funds and may include derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements) and enters into wrapper contracts issued by a third party. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The wrap issuer agrees to pay the Fund an amount sufficient to cover unitholder redemptions and certain other payments (such as fund expenses), provided all the terms of the wrap contract have been met. Wrappers are normally purchased from issuers rated in the top three long-term rating categories (A- or the equivalent and above). | ||

|
Investment Contract with Fidelity Management Trust Company, continued | |
As described in Note 2, because the Fidelity Advisor Stable Value investment contract is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the stable value investment contract. Contract value, as reported by Fidelity Management Trust Company, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. The fair value of the wrapper investment is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations. | ||
There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer. Such interest rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting. | ||
Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (1) amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or partial plan termination or merger with another plan), (2) changes to Plans prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions, (3) bankruptcy of the Plan sponsor or other Plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a significant withdrawal from the Plan, or (4) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Plan administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such value event, which would limit the Plans ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable. | ||
The guaranteed bank investment contract does not permit Fidelity Management Trust Company to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date. | ||
The following are the average yields for the guaranteed investment contract for 2006 and 2005: |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Plan will be required to adopt SFAS 157 no later than January 1, 2008. The effect of this pronouncement on these financial statements has not been determined. | ||
On February 15, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159), which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure requirements. SFAS 159 is effective for the Plans financial statements for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted. The effect of this pronouncement on these financial statements has not been determined. |
