$1,020,000. The interest cost on the plan liabilities is estimated at 6% and the
expected return on plan assets at 3% for the year to 31 December 2012. The pension
plan paid $280,000 to retired members and ASD paid $820,000 in contributions to the
pension plan for the year to 31 December 2012.

At 31 December 2012 the fair value of the pension plan assets is $6,300,000 and the
