The Company paid no benefits related to its postretirement benefit plan during the nine months ended December 31, 2018.  The Company expects to pay benefits of approximately $83 for the balance of fiscal 2019.

The Company self-funds the medical insurance coverage it provides to its U.S. based employees.  The Company maintains a stop loss insurance policy in order to limit its exposure to claims.  The liability of $134 and $122 on December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively, related to the self-insured medical plan is primarily based upon claim history and is included in the caption “Accrued compensation” as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
