          employed by Tillinghast, prepared annual rate reviews and                   
          semiannual loss reserve reviews for petitioner.  In preparing his           
          reserve reviews, Hurley received information from petitioner                
          about its paid losses and case reserves.8  Petitioner's claims              
          investigators generally established petitioner's case reserves              
          based on their initial impression of each claim and revised them            
          as they acquired more information.

          ultimate losses in later years were as follows:
