Our review showed that Community Mutual understated Medicare segment pension assets as of 1986 by $602,838. This understatement occurred because Community Mutual used an inappropriate year for their asset fraction calculation. Additionally, Community Mutual's update for the Medicare segment assets from Plan Year 1986 to Plan Year 1995 understated segment assets by $660,350.
