The annual statement shall be prepared in accordance with the annual statement instructions and the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and all applicable provisions of law. Additionally, every insurance company shall file quarterly statements in the format adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners covering the periods ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30, which shall be filed within 45 days after each such date. Quarterly statements shall be confidential and shall not be subject to public inspection or copying pursuant to P.L.1963, c. 73 (C.47:1A-1 et seq.). All statements shall be submitted in the form and contain any additional matters the commissioner prescribes. The commissioner may also address any inquiries to the company or its officers in relation to its condition or affairs, or any matter connected with its transactions, and the officers of the company shall promptly reply in writing to all the inquiries. The commissioner may, for good cause, extend the time within which the statement or any part thereof may be filed. The annual and quarterly statements of a company 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 American business.
