OF EXAMINATION
We have perfonned our regular, single-state, full-scope examination of Mutual of Enumclaw
Insurance Company. The examination was conducted in conjunction with the examination of a
subsidiary property and casualty insurer, Enumclaw Property and Casualty Insurance Company

property and Casualty insurer was completed as of December 31, 2013. This examination covers
the period of January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018.
We conducted our examination pursuant to ORS 731.300 and in accordance with ORS 731.302( I)
which allows the examiners to consider the guidelines and procedures in the NAIC Financial

examination to evaluate the financial condition, assess corporate governance, identify current and
prospective risks of the Company and evaluate system controls and procedures used to mitigate
those risks. An examination also includes identifying and evaluating significant risks that could
cause an insurer's surplus to be materially misstated both currently and prospectively.
All accounts and activities of the Company were considered in accordance with the risk-focused
examination process. This may include assessing significant estimates made by management and
evaluating management's compliance with Statutory Accounting Principles. The examination
does not attest to the fair presentation of the financial statements included herein. If, during the
course of the examination an adjustment is identified, the impact of such adjustment will be
documented separately following the Company's financial statements.

3 -Actuarial Reserves
A review of the unpaid loss and LAE reserves for the Company was performed by David Dahl, FCAS, MAAA, Property & Casualty actuary for the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation. The review included loss and LAE reserves for Enumclaw Property & Casualty Insurance Company, which is 100% assumed by the Company. As part of the review, Mr. Dahl examined the supporting statements prepared by the Company's opining actuary, Derik Freihaut, FCAS, MAAA, Principle and Consulting Actuary for Pinnacle Actuarial Resources, Inc.
Mr. Dahl's review was based on the data, methods and calculations used in the Actuarial Report supporting the Actuarial Opinion as of December 31, 2018; the data, methods, and calculations used by the Company to establish its loss and LAE liabilities; the Company's reserve position as measured by the appointed actuary's range; and independent actuarial tests as necessary. He also relied on work performed by the examiners who reviewed the underlying data used to create the annual statement filing. He determined the following:
Unpaid Losses Unpaid Loss Adjustment Expenses
My Estimate $159,082,048
36,852,253
Annual Statement $159,082,048
36,852,253
The appointed actuary opined that the reserves for unpaid losses and LAE carried by the Company as of December 31, 2018 were reasonable. Mr. Dahl's total estimate concluded that total loss and LAE reserves were redundant by $5,000 on a net basis, which was immaterial in relation to the Company's surplus position. He concurred that the reserves of the Company were reasonably stated as of December 31, 2018.
Note 4-Surplus Notes
On October 29, 2003, the Company issued two separate surplus notes to I-Preferred Term Securities III, Ltd, a Cayman Islands company, for $10 million each, for a total of $20 million.
