CDT Defined Benefit Plan CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. The following are the components of net periodic benefit costs for the CDT pension plan and the details of the change in the benefit obligation for the periods indicated:
| As of March 31, 2012 |  | As of June 30, 2011
Benefit obligation—beginning of period | $ | 18,231 |  |  | $ | 15,507 |
Service cost | 248 |  |  | 350 |
Interest cost | 666 |  |  | 868 |
Benefits paid | (320 | ) |  | (423 | )
Actuarial (gain) loss | 3,527 |  |  | (688 | )
Foreign exchange (gain) loss | (1,377 | ) |  | 2,617 |
Benefit obligation—end of period | 20,975 |  |  | 18,231 |
Less: current portion | (507 | ) |  | (489 | )
Noncurrent portion of benefit obligation | $ | 20,468 |  |  | $ | 17,742 |
The following are the details of net pension expense for the CDT pension plan for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended March 31, |  | Nine Months Ended March 31,
| 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Pension expense: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Service cost | $ | 82 |  |  | $ | 89 |  |  | $ | 248 |  |  | $ | 258 |
Interest cost | 222 |  |  | 222 |  |  | 666 |  |  | 642 |
Net pension expense | $ | 304 |  |  | $ | 311 |  |  | $ | 914 |  |  | $ | 900 |
The CDT pension plan is an unfunded plan and therefore no contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. In determining the fair value of the CDT pension plan benefit obligations as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively, we used the following weighted-average key assumptions:
| As of March 31, 2012 |  | As of June 30, 2011
Assumptions: |  |  |
Salary increases | 2.25 | % |  | 2.25 | %
Pension increases | 1.75 | % |  | 1.50 | %
Discount rate | 4.30 | % |  | 5.25 | %
Employee fluctuation rate: |  |  |
to age 30 | 1.00 | % |  | 1.00 | %
to age 35 | 0.50 | % |  | 0.50 | %
to age 40 | — | % |  | — | %
to age 45 | 0.50 | % |  | 0.50 | %
to age 50 | 0.50 | % |  | 0.50 | %
from age 51 | 1.00 | % |  | 1.00 | %
Anticipated pension payments under the CDT pension plan for the fiscal years indicated below are as follows:
2012 (three months ending June 30) | $ | 114 |
2013 | 524 |
2014 | 610 |
2015 | 650 |
2016 | 745 |
2017 to 2021 | 4,779 |
Total | $ | 7,422 |
CDT Employee Benefit Obligations CDT’s long-term employee benefit obligations arise under CDT’s “Anniversary plan” and an early retirement plan. The obligation is unfunded and carried at a fair value of $0.5 million for the Anniversary plan and $0.1 million for the early retirement plan as of March 31, 2012 ($0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2011). IXOS Defined Benefit Plans Included in our pension liability, as of March 31, 2012, is a net amount of $25,000 (June 30, 2011—$9,000) that relates to two IXOS defined benefit pensions plans (IXOS pension plans) in connection with certain former members of the IXOS Board of Directors and certain IXOS employees, respectively. The net periodic pension cost with respect to the IXOS pension plans is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets.
