        3. "Cumulative earnings factor as of June thirtieth, nineteen  hundred
      eighty-eight".  (a)  An  amount,  expressed  as  a  positive or negative
      quantity, as the case may be, which shall be  determined  in  accordance
      with the method set forth in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph three.
        (b)  (i) The cumulative earnings differential for the base fiscal year
      (as defined in paragraph eleven of subdivision a of  section  13-232  of
      this    subchapter),    as    applicable   to   the   nineteen   hundred
      eighty-seven--nineteen hundred eighty-eight  base  fiscal  year  (as  so
      defined)  shall  be  computed pursuant to the provisions of such section
      13-232.
        (ii) The cumulative distributions of transferable earnings  for  prior

      with  respect  to  such  nineteen hundred eighty-seven--nineteen hundred
      eighty-eight base fiscal year.
        (iii) The amount of transferable earnings  (as  defined  in  paragraph
      twelve  of  subdivision  a  of  such  section  13-232),  if any, for the
      nineteen hundred eighty-seven--nineteen hundred eighty-eight base fiscal

        (iv) The sum resulting from the addition prescribed by item  (iii)  of
      this  subparagraph  (b)  shall  be  subtracted  from the amount computed
      pursuant to item (i) of this subparagraph. The remainder resulting  from
      the  subtraction  shall  be  the  cumulative  earnings factor as of June
      thirtieth, nineteen hundred eighty-eight.
        4. "Earnings differential". The amount (expressed  as  a  positive  or
      negative quantity) by which the equity experience factor (expressed as a
      positive  or  negative  quantity)  with  respect to the base fiscal year
      differs from the hypothetical  fixed  income  securities  earnings  with
      respect  to  the  base  fiscal year. If such equity experience factor is
      greater than such hypothetical fixed  income  securities  earnings,  the
      difference between the two shall be expressed as a positive quantity. If
      such hypothetical fixed income securities earnings are greater than such
      equity  experience  factor,  the  difference  between  the  two shall be
      expressed as a negative quantity.
        5. "Cumulative earnings factor". (a) The  cumulative  earnings  factor
      for any base fiscal year shall be determined as follows:
        (i)  If  the  cumulative earnings factor for the immediately preceding
      base fiscal year was a positive quantity, the cumulative earnings factor
      for the base fiscal year shall be equal to the earnings differential for
      the base fiscal year.
    
        (ii) If the cumulative earnings factor for the  immediately  preceding
      base fiscal year was a negative quantity, the cumulative earnings factor
      for the base fiscal year shall be equal to the sum of:
        (A) the earnings differential for the base fiscal year; and
        (B)  the cumulative earnings factor for the immediately preceding base
      fiscal year, increased with interest at a rate equal to the assumed rate
      of interest fixed with respect to such base fiscal year pursuant to  the
      provisions of paragraph eight of subdivision a of section 13-232 of this
      subchapter, as made applicable to this section 13-232.1 by subdivision a
      hereof.
        (b)  In  applying  the  provisions of this paragraph five for the base
      fiscal  year  nineteen  hundred   eighty-eight   --   nineteen   hundred
      eighty-nine,  the  term defined in paragraph three of this subdivision b
      as "cumulative earnings factor as of June  thirtieth,  nineteen  hundred
      eighty-eight"  shall  be  substituted  for the term "cumulative earnings
      factor for the immediately preceding base fiscal year".
        6. "POVSF cumulative earnings factor". With respect to any base fiscal
      year, the amount obtained by multiplying the cumulative earnings  factor
      for such base fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
      the total contributions made to the police pension fund, subchapter two,
      with  respect  to  such base fiscal year on behalf of all members of the
      uniformed force of the police department who are police officers, as  of
      the  last  day  of  such  base fiscal year, and the denominator of which
      shall be the total contributions made to such police pension  fund  with
      respect  to  such  base  fiscal  year  on  behalf of all persons who are
      members of the uniformed force of the police department as of  the  last
      day of such base fiscal year.
        7. "POVSF unfunded accrued liability". In any case where the valuation
      of  assets  and liabilities of the police officer's variable supplements
      fund by the actuary pursuant to subdivision e of section 13-270 of  this
      chapter  shows  that  for  any base fiscal year, such liabilities exceed
      such assets, the term "POVSF unfunded accrued liability" shall mean  the
      amount  of the excess of such liabilities over the amount of such assets
      for such base fiscal year.
        8. "Police officer". A member of  either  this  pension  fund  or  the
      police  pension fund provided for in subchapter one of this chapter who,
      at the time of retirement for service, was not a police superior officer
      as defined in subdivision four of section 13-278 of this chapter.
        c. As soon as practicable after the close of each  base  fiscal  year,
      but not later than December thirty-first of the current fiscal year, the
      board shall compute the POVSF cumulative earnings factor with respect to
      such base fiscal year.
        d.  If  the POVSF cumulative earnings factor for such base fiscal year
      is a  positive  quantity,  the  pension  fund,  on  or  before  December
      thirty-first  of  the current fiscal year, shall pay from its contingent
      reserve fund to the police officer's variable supplements fund,  as  the
      payment  due  for  such  base  fiscal year under this section, an amount
      determined pursuant to the provisions of subdivision e of this section.
        e. The amount payable for such base fiscal year  as  provided  for  in
      subdivision  d  of  this  section  shall  be the lesser of (1) the POVSF
      cumulative earnings factor for such base fiscal year referred to in such
      subdivision d or (2) the liability POVSF unfunded accrued liability  for
      such base fiscal year.
        f.  No amount shall be due from or payable by the pension fund to such
      variable supplements fund under this section for any  base  fiscal  year
      which  shall  exceed  the POVSF unfunded accrued liability for such base
      fiscal year, regardless  of  the  amount  and  character  of  the  POVSF
      cumulative earnings factor for such base fiscal year.
    
        g.  The  comptroller  shall  furnish to the board such information and
      data as it may request for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of
      this section.
