FRIEDMAN, Chief Judge,
delivered the opinion of the court:
This case, before us on the defendant’s exceptions to the recommended decision of Senior Trial Judge White, presents a narrow statutory question under the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act of 1959, 26 U.S.C. §§ 801-20 (1976). Section 818(c)(2) of the Code1 permits a life insurance company to recompute in a specified way the amount of its reserves for federal income tax purposes. The question is whether a company that makes that recomputation also is required to recompute its assets and gross premium income to reflect the recomputation of its reserves. The trial judge held that the company is not required to make that further recomputation. We agree and therefore hold for the plaintiff.
I.
A. The Life Insurance Income Tax Act of 1959 provided a complicated series of multiple computations to determine an insurance company’s tax base, to which ordinary corporate tax rates apply. Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Co. v. United States, 408 F.2d 842, 844-46 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 396 U.S. 828 (1969).
In recognition that a part of the premiums charged, and a part of the income derived from investments, will be repaid to policyholders at a future date, in satisfaction of a contractual obligation, the Act purports to tax only the portions of premium income and investment income which represent profit to the company, available legally for distribution to policyholders or stockholders as dividends, as distinguished from those gains which, under state law, must be set aside to meet the company’s future contractual obligations.
Id. 844. Although the statutory computations are intricate, there is no need to explain or probe those complexities in the present case.
The "gross premium” is the amount charged a life insurance policyholder. It comprises two elements: "net [171]*171valuation premium” and "loading.” The "net valuation premium” is the portion of the gross premium that represents the amount required to pay the benefits under the policy. The "loading” portion of the gross premium covers deductible expenses such as overhead, salesmen’s commissions, and state taxes.
"Under the 1959 Act the undivided part of a life insurance company’s assets represented by its reserves is considered as a fund held for the benefit of the policyholders.” United States v. Atlas Life Insurance Co., 381 U.S. 233, 239 (1969). The "reserves” reflect a life insurance company’s benefit obligations to its policyholders. They are not trust funds or held in escrow, but are shown on the company’s books as liabilities, which state law requires. Three elements determine the amount of such reserves: (1) the policyholders’ life expectancies based upon mortality tables, (2) the interest rate by which the face amount of the policy is discounted to determine its present value, and (3) the method used to compute reserves.
Life insurance companies use two methods in computing reserves: (1) The "net level premium method” assumes that the net valuation premium is uniform throughout the term of the policy. (2) The "preliminary term method” reflects the greater expenses during the first year of a policy,2 by using a smaller first year net valuation premium and larger uniform net valuation premiums in subsequent years.3
B. In a growing company, reserves would be greater if valiied under the net level method. The preliminary term method makes more funds available in the first year to enable the company to pay the larger, initial expenses.4 All [172]*172other things being equal, the net level method of computing reserves results in a lower tax liability.
In order to alleviate this tax inequality,5 section 818(c) permits a taxpayer that computes its reserves on a preliminary term basis to recompute them for tax purposes on a net level basis by either of two methods. See pp. 6-9, infra.
Although life insurance premiums typically are calculated and quoted on an annual basis, payments generally are made in installments (i.e., monthly, quarterly, or semiannually). The policyholder is not legally obligated to pay an installment; the policy ordinarily will lapse after a grace period following the missing installment. "Deferred premiums” are installments due after the end of the insurance company’s tax year on December 31 and before the policy’s anniversary (renewal) date. "Uncollected premiums” are premiums on life insurance policies that are still in effect but are overdue at the end of the tax year. Together, deferred and uncollected premiums comprise "unpaid premiums.” With regard to the accounting procedures for unpaid premiums, the Supreme Court has stated:
Under normal accounting rules, unpaid premiums would simply be ignored. They would not be properly accruable since the company has no legal right to collect them. Nevertheless, for the past century, insurance companies have added an amount equal to the net valuation portion of unpaid premiums to their reserves, with an offsetting addition to assets. State law uniformly requires this treatmént of unpaid premiums, as does the accounting form issued by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). This national organization of state regulatory officials, which acts on behalf of the various state insurance departments, performs audits on insurance companies like respondent which do business in many States. The NAIC accounting form, known in the industry as the "Annual Statement,” is used by respondent for its financial reporting. In effect, in calculating its reserves, the company must treat these premiums to some extent as if they had been paid.
[173]*173Commissioner v. Standard Life & Accident Insurance Co., 433 U. S. 148, 150 (1977).
Plaintiff Reserve Life, which values a significant portion of its reserves on a preliminary term basis, elected for its 1969 tax year to revalue upwardly its reserves under section 818(c)(2) to an approximation of the net level premium method, and reported its taxable income for that year on that method. The actual use of the net level premium method for valuing reserves would have resulted in decreased loading because the net level premium method does not assume a smaller net valuation premium during the first year of the policy. Because the loading portion of unpaid premiums is excluded from assets and gross premium income, see p. 174, infra, this revaluation would result in increased assets and gross premium income. Reserve Life, however, did not revalue these items to reflect its section 818(c)(2) election. Had it done so, its tax liability would have been increased.
The Commissioner concluded that Reserve Life was required to make those further adjustments and assessed a deficiency reflecting them. The company paid the deficiency and filed suit in this court to recover that amount.
The trial judge held for the plaintiff. He pointed out that the language of section 818(c) only refers to a "recomputation for income tax purposes” of reserves "and does not state, either expressly or by clear implication, that a life insurance company which accepts the benefit of such a recomputation must also go further and recompute for tax purposes the net valuation premium portion and the loading portion of the company’s unpaid premiums, as shown on its Annual Statement.” He concluded that the legislative history of that section supports that interpretation. Trial Judge White stated that the Supreme Court indicated in Commissioner v. Standard Life and Accident Insurance Co., supra, that the accounting system approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) "provides guidance for courts in considering problems that relate to the income taxation of insurance companies.” The trial judge concluded that
[174]*174it would require a stronger showing of necessity than is present in this case to justify a court in holding that the Annual Statement allocation of unpaid premiums as between the net valuation premium portion and the loading portion must be changed for income ta;x purposes merely because an insurance company has exercised its statutory privilege by revaluing preliminary term reserves for income tax purposes.
II.
The issue in the present case stems from the Supreme Court’s decision in Standard Life. In that case the question was the extent to which unpaid premiums should be included in reserves, assets, and gross premium income. The Court held that the net valuation portion of unpaid premiums, but not the loading portion, is includable in these three categories.
Prior to that decision, the problem in the present case would not have arisen, since unpaid premiums were included in full in reserves, assets, and gross premium income. Western and Southern Life Insurance Co. v. Commissioner, 460 F.2d 8 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 1063 (1972); Western National Life Insurance Co. of Texas v. Commissioner, 432 F.2d 298 (6th Cir. 1970); Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Co. v. United States, 408 F.2d 842 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 396 U.S. 828 (1969); Franklin Life Insurance Co. v. United States, 399 F.2d 757 (7th Cir. 1968), cert. denied, 393 U.S. 1118 (1969). Consequently, no distinction was drawn between the net valuation and the loading portion of premiums for tax purposes. The fact that an insurance company elected under section 818(c) to recompute its reserves from a preliminary term to a net level premium basis and thereby increase the amount of reserves in the year of recalculation would not have affected the total amount of its assets or gross premium income. As a result of Standard Life, however, the loading element of unpaid premiums is now excluded from assets and gross premium income.
The issue in this case, therefore, is whether the company’s recalculation of reserves under section 818(c) also requires a corresponding recalculation of assets and gross [175]*175premium income to reflect that change in reserves. This is an issue which Congress did not address in the Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act of 1959 since at the time it enacted that legislation, almost 20 years before Standard Life, the problem had not yet arisen.
III.
Section 818(c) provides as follows:
(c) Life Insurance Reserves Computed on Preliminary Term Basis. —For purposes of this part (other than section 801), at the election of the taxpayer the amount taken into account as life insurance reserves with respect to contracts for which such reserves are computed on a preliminary term basis may be determined on either of the following bases:
(1) Exact revaluation. —As if the reserves for all such contracts had been computed on a net level premium basis (using the same mortality assumptions and interest rates for both the preliminary term basis and the net level premium basis).
(2) Approximate revaluation. —The amount computed without regard to this subsection—
(A) increased by $21 per $1,000 of insurance in force (other than term insurance) under such contracts, less 2.1 percent of reserves under such contracts, and
(B) increased by $5 per $1,000 of term insurance in force under such contracts which at the time of issuance cover a period of more than 15 years, less 0.5 percent of reserves under such contracts.
If the taxpayer makes an election under either paragraph (1) or (2) for any taxable year, the basis adopted shall be adhered to in making the computations under this part (other than section 801) for the taxable year and all subsequent taxable years unless a change in the basis of computing such reserves is approved by the Secretary, except that if, pursuant to an election made for a taxable year beginning in 1958, the basis adopted is the basis provided in paragraph (2), the taxpayer may adopt the basis provided by paragraph (1) for its first taxable year beginning after 1958.
This provision refers only to the recomputation of reserves. It does not mention or suggest any corresponding [176]*176recomputation of assets or gross premium income. It permits an insurance company to redetermine "the amount taken into account as life insurance reserves with respect to contracts for which such reserves” have been computed on a preliminary term basis. In other words, reserves computed on a preliminary term basis may be recomputed on a net level premium basis by making (1) an exact revaluation of the reserves on the new basis or (2) an approximate revaluation resulting from increasing the existing reserves (which were calculated on a preliminary term basis) by the statutory formula.
There is nothing in the language or design of this provision that requires, or even implies, that a corresponding recalculation must be made of assets and gross premium income by eliminating from those items the portion of the unpaid premiums attributable to increase in reserves and theoretical increase in the net valuation premium or reduction in loading. Cf. United States v. Consumer Life Insurance Co., 430 U.S. 725, 741 (1977).
The legislative history of the 1959 Act supports and confirms this view of the narrow purpose and effect of section 818(c). The Senate Committee Report on the provision stated:
Some life insurance companies compute their life insurance reserves on what is called a preliminary term basis. The effect of this is to take the full agents’ commissions (which are larger in the initial period of a life insurance contract) out of amounts which would otherwise be added to reserves during the first year of a contract and to add correspondingly larger amounts to reserves in later years. The effect of this is to work a hardship on insurance companies using preliminary term reserves as compared with those which use ordinary reserves, since the policy and other contract liability requirements which determine the policyholders’ and life insurance company’s shares of investment income depend on the size of the reserves. Moreover, premium additions to reserves, deductible under phase 2, also would in some cases be smaller. To avoid this result, life insurance companies which have computed their reserves on a preliminary term basis are permitted to recompute their reserves on a net level premium basis. This can be done either by an exact revaluation of the reserves to a net [177]*177level premium basis or by approximating this result under a formula set forth in the bill.
Senate Report, supra note 5, at 30-31, [1959] U.S. Code Cong. & Ad. News at 1605-06. The House Committee Report contains almost identical language. House Report, supra note 5, at 17-18.6
Like the statute itself, the Senate and House Committee Reports focused solely upon the need to permit life insurance companies "which have computed their reserves on a preliminary term basis ... to recompute their reserves on a net level premium basis.” The "hardship on insurance companies using preliminary term reserves as compared with those which use ordinary reserves,” — which hardship section 818(c) was designed "to avoid” — was twofold: (1) "the policy and other contract liability requirements which determine the policyholders’ and life insurance company’s shares of investment income depend on the size of the reserves”; and (2) "premium additions to reserves, deductible under phase 2 [one of the steps in determining a life insurance company’s taxable income], also would in some cases be smaller.”
The remedy Congress provided to enable life insurance companies to avoid this "hardship” was to permit them to recompute their reserves. The recomputation of reserves was the sole purpose of and method permitted by this provision. That is all it deals with. There is nothing in the legislative history of this provision that reflects any congressional intention to require life insurance companies that elect to redetermine their reserves also to redetermine their assets and gross premium income. Indeed, as we have noted (supra, p. 174), the issue of possible redetermination of assets and gross premium income did not arise until many years after the statute was enacted.
If the effect of an insurance company’s recalculation of its reserves without also recalculating its assets and gross premium income would be not only to eliminate the [178]*178"hardship” of that company in comparison with other companies that calculate their reserves on a net level premium method, but further to give the recalculating company an advantage over those other companies, that would be an important consideration in support of the government’s position. The parties disagree, however, over that issue. The government contends that the failure of an insurance company also to recalculate assets and gross premium income would give the company such an advantage. The plaintiff denies this, arguing that whether a redetermination of reserves gives an insurance company an advantage over companies that determine their reserves on a net level premium method depends upon the particular situation of the individual company and cannot be determined categorically for all companies.
On this record we cannot determine which position is sound. We therefore cannot conclude that the plaintiffs failure to redetermine its assets and gross premium income is inconsistent with or would be a departure from the basic purpose of section 818(c) of permitting a recomputation of reserves to avoid "hardship” to the redetermining company.
IV.
The government contends, however, that two other provisions of the 1959 Act compel a different result.
A. The government relies primarily, as does the dissent, upon section 818(a). Insofar as here pertinent, that section requires that "[ejxcept as provided in the preceding sentence [requiring that computations be made under an accrual method of accounting], all such computations shall be made in a manner consistent with the manner required for purposes of the annual statement approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.”7
[179]*179The government points out that an insurance company that values its reserves on a net level premium basis, either initially or as a result of a change in the method of valuation, also would be required for Annual Statement purposes to value its assets and gross premium income by the same method. The government contends that section 818(a) requires the same recalculation of assets and gross premium income when an insurance company elects to recompute its reserves for federal income tax purposes under section 818(c), since section 818(a) requires that "all such computations [those "entering into the determination of the taxes imposed by this part”]” be made consistently with the NAIC statement. The government points to the Supreme Court’s statement in Standard Life that section 818(a) "establishes a preference for NAIC accounting methods” (433 U.S. at 161) and "requires deference in this case to the established accounting procedures of the NAIC.” Id. 151. In effect, the government repeats, although in a different context, the argument it made and the Court rejected in Standard Life that "unpaid premiums should be consistently treated in calculating 'assets,’ and 'gross premium income,’ as well as 'reserves.’” Id. 154.
Although the argument is superficially plausible, it does not withstand penetrating analysis.
1. Section 818(a), the legislative history of that section, and the Commissioner’s implementing regulations all state that the NAIC rules are to be followed for tax purposes only to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the accrual method of accounting or the Internal Revenue Code. Treas. Reg. § 1.818-2(a)(2) (1961); Senate Report, supra note 5, at 72-73, [1959] U.S. Code Cong. & Ad. News at 1648-49. See generally Harman, The Pattern of Life Insurance Company Taxation Under the 1959 Act, [16th Annual] Tul. Tax Inst. 686, 744-49 (1965). There are many inconsistencies between the NAIC and tax accounting rules, which produce different accounting treatment for the same items under the two systems.8 In none of those situations, however, is a further accounting adjustment made for tax purposes to reflect a Code provision that requires or permits an accounting [180]*180treatment for federal tax purposes that is different from that which the NAIC system mandates.
For example, interest on certain governmental obligations, which is exempt from federal taxation under section 103, is included in full in the Annual Statement in gross investment income but is excluded for tax purposes in the computation of an insurance company’s taxable investment income and gain from operations.9 Dividends received by a life insurance company are included in full for Annual Statement purposes while partially excluded under the dividends received deduction (I.R.C. §§ 243-45) for taxable investment income and gain from operations.10 Assets used in carrying on an insurance business are included at their adjusted basis net of encumbrances in the Annual Statement but are excluded for tax purposes when computing earnings rates (I.R.C. § 805(b)(4)). For Annual Statement purposes, real estate and stock are generally included in assets at book value with an appropriate reduction for encumbrances,11 while under section 805(b)(4)(A) they must be included at fair market value without any reduction for encumbrances. There are numerous other examples.12
In none of these instances is a further adjustment made for federal tax purposes to reflect the differences between the treatment of an item under the Annual Statement and federal tax accounting principles and thereby to eliminate the inconsistencies between the two systems. To the contrary, for federal tax purposes only the specific different treatment that the Code requires or permits is given effect. The result is that inconsistencies do exist between the NAIC and the federal tax treatment of the same item.
Under ordinary accounting principles, a deduction from income — usually as an expense — would result in a reduction in the surplus account and either a reduction in assets [181]*181for cash expended or an increase in liabilities for accounts payable. For tax purposes, however, the exclusion from life insurance company income of certain interest and dividend income neither affects the shareholders’ surplus13 nor results in any adjustment to assets or liabilities.14 The exclusion for tax purposes of assets used in carrying on an insurance company’s business, if reflected in the Annual Statement, might require an offsetting decrease to liabilities or shareholders’ surplus. No corresponding reduction is made for tax purposes. Finally, the upward revaluation of real estate and stock so as to equal fair market value that section 805(b)(4)(A) requires, would, for Annual Statement purposes,15 result in unrealized capital gain and an increase in the surplus account and "reconciliation of ledger accounts.” For tax purposes, no corresponding adjustment is made16 and the gain is not recognized.17
We think that the most persuasive explanation of these inconsistencies is that section 818(a) requires that the accounting treatment in the Annual Statement be followed for federal tax purposes unless the Code provides or permits a different treatment. Here section 818(c) permits a different treatment than the Annual Statement for reserves that under the Annual Statement are computed on the preliminary term method. In permitting an insurance company to redetermine those reserves on a net level premium method, the Code does not also require that the company’s assets and gross premium income similarly be recomputed on that method, even though the consequence is to produce an [182]*182inconsistency between the NAIC and the federal tax amounts for those two items.
Since section 818(c) does not mandate a further adjustment for federal tax purposes in the assets and gross premium income items, under section 818(a) these items are to be determined in accordance with their treatment under the Annual Statement. That is precisely how Reserve Life treated them in its return.
2. In Standard Life, the company argued that "the assumption of prepayment [of unpaid premiums] [sh]ould be applied in calculating reserves, but ignored when calculating assets and income.” 433 U.S. at 159. The Court, recognizing that there need not be perfect symmetry in the tax laws, concluded that "there should be a measure of consistency in the accounting treatment of an item affecting elements in a formula such as that used to calculate the policyholders’ share of investment income.” Id. 160.
The policyholders’ share of investment income referred to in Standard Life is calculated by a formula "which is essentially determined by the ratio of the company’s reserves to its assets.” Id. 156 n.14.18 Hence, the inclusion of the net valuation portion of unpaid premiums in reserves and their exclusion from assets would have upset the delicate balance of the equation for determining the policyholders’ share of investment income. The result the Court reached (excluding the loading portion of unpaid premiums from assets and premium income but including the net valuation portion in reserves, assets, and premium income), produced a consistent result: The unpaid portion of net valuation premiums is included in full in reserves and in assets; the unpaid portion of loading has no effect on reserves and is excluded from assets.
The inconsistency among interrelated elements that concerned the Court in Standard Life is not present here. Reserve Life did not include an item in reserves and exclude the same item from assets. Instead, it recalculated reserves but did not recalculate the loading portion of unpaid premiums, resulting in consistent treatment for [183]*183reserves and consistent treatment for assets because a change in loading affects assets, but has no effect on reserves.19 Here, unlike in Standard Life, the same item (i.e., the loading portion of unpaid premiums in the present case and the net valuation portion of unpaid premiums in Standard Life) is not being treated inconsistently within the same tax calculation. As was determined in Standard Life, reserves and loading are independent for the purpose of computing the policyholders’ share of investment income; a change in loading — or the absence of a change— does not result in an inconsistency.
3. The Court in Standard Life noted that its approach avoids "uncertainty and confusion” and "provides a practical rule which should minimize the likelihood of future disputes.” 433 U.S. at 162. The government’s position here would cause inconsistency and result in confusion to future litigants.20
The formula in section 818(c)(2) for recomputing reserves, which Reserve Life applied, cannot be used to recalculate the loading portion of unpaid premiums. "The amount of loading is not precise. Periodically the Accounting Division [of a company] compares the total of gross annual premiums with the corresponding valuation net premiums in its records and sets loading factors which can be applied to the gross amounts of deferred and uncollected premiums.” C. Beardsley, supra note 11, at p. 7-18. "Loading is often approximated by studying a sample of the total business in force and determining percentage factors.” Files, supra note 2, at 98.
The government’s interpretation of the Code would create an extremely complex computational problem because there is no generally accepted way to recompute gross premium income and assets. Had Congress intended that the loading portion of unpaid premiums be revalued to recompute assets and gross premium income following a [184]*184section 818(c)(2) recomputation of reserves, presumably it would have provided a comparable formula for revaluing loading. In the circumstances, the lack of any indication in the statute or its legislative history that Congress contemplated the recomputation of the loading portion of premium income strongly suggests that Congress did not intend to do so.
B. The government also relies on the last sentence of section 818(c), which states that "[i]f the taxpayer makes an election under either paragraph (1) [exact revaluation] or (2) [approximate revaluation] for any taxable year, the basis adopted shall be adhered to in making computations under this part (other than section 801 [relating to the definition of "life insurance company”] for the taxable year and all subsequent taxable years unless a change in the basis of computing such reserves is approved by the Secretary.” The government contends that the word "basis” in this provision means the amount of the reserves as recalculated under a net level premium method and that the provision therefore requires that this amount of reserves "be adhered to” in making the "computations” of the company’s assets and gross premium income in determining its federal tax liability.
Both the language and the legislative history of this provision, however, show that Congress used the word "basis” not in the usual tax sense of the cost of property. Rather, it means the method of recomputation utilized and not the amount of reserves that the recomputation produced. Giving the words their ordinary meaning and reading them in context, the "basis adopted” when a taxpayer elects to recompute reserves is the particular method of recomputation selected, i.e., the exact recomputation under subparagraph 1 or the approximate recomputation under subparagraph 2.
In other words, this provision requires that if an insurance company recomputes its reserves on the approximate valuation method that paragraph (2) permits, as Reserve Life did, it must use that valuation method in determining its net level premium reserves revalued in the year of election as well as in future years, unless the Secretary approves a change in the method of calculating reserves. [185]*185The purpose of the provision is to insure that a life insurance company use the same figure each time a computation involving reserves is called for and continue to use the same method of computing reserves for its policies from year to year, and to prevent it from shifting between methods in particular years if to do so would give it a tax advantage.
The legislative history confirms that the word "basis” is used in this provision to mean "method.” The Senate and House Committee Reports state that
reserves may be converted from a preliminary term basis to a net level premium basis for tax purposes by one of two methods. Paragraph (1) provides the so-called exact revaluation method. Under this method, the life insurance company must compute the reserves for all such contracts on a net level premium basis, using the same mortality assumptions and interest rates for both the preliminary term basis and the net level premium basis. Paragraph (2) provides an approximate revaluation method. Under this method. . .
Senate Report, supra note 5, at 73, [1959] U.S. Code Cong. & Ad. News at 1649-50; House Report, supra note 5, at 42-43. The Reports further state:
If the taxpayer elects one of the two methods provided in this subsection, all contracts for which life insurance reserves are computed on a preliminary term basis must be so converted. Whichever basis (i.e., the exact revaluation or the approximate revaluation) is adopted for tax purposes must be adhered to in making the computations under this part (other than for purposes of the definition of a life insurance company as determined under sec. 801) for the taxable year of election and all subsequent taxable years, unless a change in the basis of computing such reserves is approved by the Secretary or his delegate.
Senate Report, supra note 5, at 74, [1959] U.S. Code Cong. & Ad. News at 1650; House Report, supra note 5, at 43.
The Reports show that Congress intended to require only that an insurance company use the particular method of recomputation of reserves it selected — exact or approximate — for all affected policies in the year of recomputation and for all future years, unless the Secretary approved a [186]*186change in the method of computing reserves. Although each committee used the word "basis,” in context the word means "method,” not something else. Indeed, the passages quoted above demonstrate that the committees used the words "method” and "basis” interchangeably and that it used "basis” to mean "method.”
V.
If in 1959 Congress had anticipated the Supreme Court’s decision in Standard Life and had considered the problem now before us, it might have decided to require life insurance companies to recompute assets and gross premium income as well as reserves. It did not consider the problem, however, and any attempt now to state what it would have done then would be speculative and conjectural. All that Congress said in section 818(c), the provision pursuant to which Reserve Life acted, was that a life insurance company that computes its reserves on a preliminary term basis may recompute its reserves on a net level premium basis. In this complex and intricate area of federal income tax law, we follow the language of the Code as written. If Congress concludes that in light of Standard Life the rule should be otherwise, presumably it will amend the Code so to provide.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
Upon redetermining its reserves under section 818(c), the plaintiff was not required also to redetermine its assets and gross premium income. The parties have stipulated that if we so hold, the plaintiff is entitled to recover $362,700.42, plus (1) the amount of deficiency interest paid on such amount, and (2) interest on both of these amounts from the date of payment, as allowed by law. This refund includes amounts attributable to previously settled issues. Judgment is entered for the plaintiff in accordance with the foregoing.
