financial statement along with all supplement filings in the office

of the Insurance Commissioner annually on or before the first day of

of March. The Insurance Commissioner may require foreign insurers

to file the annual financial statement in a printed format. Such

document required by the Insurance Commissioner shall be due

annually on or before the first day of March.

3. For good cause shown, the Insurance Commissioner may extend

the time within which such statements may be filed. The statements

shall be in such general form and context as approved by the

National Association of Insurance Commissioners for the kinds of

insurance to be reported upon, and as supplemented for additional

information required by the Insurance Commissioner by rule. In

addition, the statements shall be prepared in accordance with the

NAIC annual statement instruction handbooks, including any

supplemental filings described in the NAIC annual instruction

handbook, and follow the accounting procedures and practices

prescribed by the NAIC accounting practices and procedure manuals as

supplemented by the Insurance Commissioner by rule. The assets and

liabilities shall be computed pursuant to the most conservative

method allowed by the laws of this state. Such statements shall be

subscribed and sworn to by the president and secretary and other

proper officers. The license or certificate of authority to

transact the business of insurance in this state shall be renewed

unless the Insurance Commissioner finds that the facts do not

warrant renewal, and that the insurer has not fully complied with

all laws applicable to the insurer. Upon initial licensure, the

Commissioner shall issue a license, or certificate of authority,

subject to all requirements and conditions of the law, to transact

business in this state, specifying in the certificate the particular

kind or kinds of insurance it is authorized to transact. The annual

statement of an insurer of a foreign country shall embrace only its

business and condition in the United States, and shall be subscribed

and sworn to by its resident manager or principal representative in

charge of its United States business, or other officer duly

authorized. Any amendments and addendums to the annual statement

subsequently filed with the Commissioner shall also be filed with

the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and the insurer

shall pay the applicable filing fees.
