31 Pa. Code § 25.23. Adequacy of surplus.

§ 25.23. Adequacy of surplus.

 The factors in section 1405(d) of the act (40 P. S. §  991.1405(d)) to be considered in determining whether an insurer’s surplus is reasonable in relation to the insurer’s outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs 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 Commissioner will consider the net effect of these factors plus other factors bearing on the financial condition of the insurer. In comparing the surplus maintained by other insurers, the Commissioner will consider the extent to which each of these factors varies from company to company. In determining the quality and liquidity of investments in subsidiaries, the Commissioner will consider the individual subsidiary and may discount or disallow its valuation to the extent that the individual investments so warrant.

Authority

   The provisions of this §  25.23 issued under Article XIV of The Insurance Company Law of 1921 (40 P. S. § §  991.1401—991.1413); amended under section 337.8 of The Insurance Company Law of 1921 (40 P. S. §  459.8).

Financial statements are required for an ultimate controlling person who is an individual as well as for a corporation or other type of business organization.

Any ultimate controlling person who is an individual may file personal financial statements that are reviewed rather than audited by an independent public accountant. The review shall be conducted in accordance with standards for review of personal financial statements published in the Personal Financial Statements Guide by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Personal financial statements shall be accompanied by the independent public accountant’s Standard Review Report stating that the accountant is not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for the statements to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 C. Exhibits shall include copies of the latest annual reports to shareholders of an ultimate controlling person and proxy material used by an ultimate controlling person; and any additional documents or papers required by this chapter.
