Net assets came to $524 per participant, well below the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well below the $30,764 median for defined contribution plans in health care and social assistance. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 1 service provider organisation paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $92K: $41.65 per participant, well below the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $92K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.
