A registration statement may include information not required by the Act regarding any insurer in the insurance holding company system even if the insurer is not authorized to do business in this state. In lieu of a registration statement on Form B, the authorized insurer may file a copy of the registration statement or similar report which it is required to file in its state of domicile, provided—

net gain from operations for the twelve (12)- month period ending December 31 next preceding; and
the net investment income for the twelve (12)-month period ending December 31 next preceding and the two (2) preceding twelve (12)-month periods;

(17) Adequacy of Surplus. The factors set forth in section 382.200 of the Act are not intended to be an exhaustive list. In determining the adequacy and reasonableness of an insurer’s surplus no single factor is necessarily controlling. The director, instead, will consider the net effect of all of these factors plus other factors bearing on the financial condition of the insurer. In comparing the surplus maintained by other insurers, the director will consider the extent to which each of these factors varies from company-tocompany and in determining the quality and liquidity of investments in subsidiaries, the director will consider the individual subsidiary and may discount or disallow its valuation to the extent that the individual investments so warrant.
