(A) An insurer investing under this chapter shall maintain assets in an amount equivalent to the sum of its liabilities and its minimum financial security benchmark at all times.
(B) Assets invested under this chapter may be counted toward satisfaction of the minimum asset requirement only so far as they are invested in compliance with this chapter and any applicable rules adopted, or orders issued, by the superintendent pursuant to this chapter.
(C) The amount of admitted assets used to calculate the minimum asset requirement shall be reduced by the amount of the liability recorded on an insurer's statutory balance sheet for all of the following:

2. (2) Cash received in a dollar roll transaction;
3. (3) Other amounts reported as borrowed money.

(G) The superintendent may determine an insurer to be financially hazardous under section 3903.09 of the Revised Code if either of the following apply:
1. (1) The insurer does not own the amount of assets needed to meet its minimum asset requirement.
