Item 8.01          Other Events

 

Background

 

In October 2009, Infinite Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received a report from the Department of Treasury (the "Treasury") that stated that the Treasury staff disagreed with the Company’s position related to the Osley &Whitney, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “O&W Plan”) and as a result, the Company was responsible for excise taxes attributed to the O&W Plan funding deficiency of $1,836,359 for the years 2003 through 2007 which funding deficiency can only be corrected by contributing $1,836,359 to the O&W Plan. The report also stated that proposed 10% excise taxes of $348,500, penalties for late payment of excise taxes of approximately $1.2 million and 100% excise taxes of approximately $3.5 million related to the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 may be imposed.

 

On November 1, 2011, in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, dated September 6, 2011 (the “Settlement Agreement”), between the Company and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”), the Company received from the PBGC the executed Agreement for Appointment of Trustee and Termination of the O&W Plan (the “Trusteeship Agreement”).  The Trusteeship Agreement: (i) terminated the O&W Plan; (ii) appointed the PBGC as the statutory trustee of the O&W Plan; and (iii) established November 30, 2001 as the termination date for the O&W Plan.

 

Current Development

 

On March 30, 2012, the Company received the decision of United States Tax Court entered on March 27, 2012 (the "Decision") wherein the Court determined that the Company did not have any liability for taxes, excise taxes or penalties for the taxable years 2006 or 2007 related to the O&W Plan.

 

As a result of this development, the Company’s March 31, 2012 financial statements will reflect an approximate $480,000 reduction in liabilities previously accrued and reflected related to excise taxes, including late fees and interest, on unfunded O&W Plan contributions. At December 31, 2011, this amount was included on the Company’s balance sheet under Current Liabilities - Accrued retirement and pension.

 

Since the PBGC terminated the O&W Plan as of November 30, 2001 and the United States Tax Court decided on March 27, 2012 that no excise taxes are due as stated herein, the Company has no further obligations to the O&W Plan, the PBGC and the Treasury other than those stated in the Settlement Agreement with the PBGC which are reflected in the Company's financial statements on Form 10-K at December 31, 2011. 

 

The foregoing summary of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 12, 2011.
