The information filed with the association shall be in the same format and scope as that required by the superintendent and shall include the signed jurat page and the actuarial certification, as required by the state of domicile. Any amendments and addendums to the annual statement filing subsequently filed with the superintendent shall also be filed with the association.

(1) In addition to the annual statement required to be filed with the national association of insurance commissioners under division (B) of this section, the superintendent may require an insurer to file with the superintendent, on or before the forty-fifth day following the last day of each calendar quarter, quarterly reports showing its condition for each of the first three calendar quarters.

(2) The quarterly report shall consist of information that the superintendent considers to be relevant to the determination of the solvency of an insurer.
