We contributed $7,000 and $8,000 to our German subsidiary’s defined benefit pension plan during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and expect to make additional, similar, quarterly contributions during the remaining quarters of our fiscal year 2014.

We maintain a U.S. employee retirement savings plan that qualifies as a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Code.  We matched 25% of the first 5% of the employee’s annual salary invested by the employee in the 401(k) plan during fiscal year 2013.  In August 2013, we increased our match to 50% of the first 5% of the employee’s annual salary invested by the employee in the 401(k) plan.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we contributed $98,000 and $43,000 in matching funds to the 401(k) plan, respectively.

We also maintain a defined contribution plan (the “Stakeholder Plan”) for our U.K. based employees.  For our U.K. based employees who contribute 4% or more of their salary to the Stakeholder Plan, we match 100% of employee contributions, up to 7% of their salary.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we contributed $17,000 and $14,000 to the Stakeholder Plan, respectively.
