§ 17:16A-13 — Annual reports of financial condition

Every investment company transacting business in this State shall annually on or before March first file in the department a statement, subscribed and sworn to by its president and secretary, or, in their absence, by two of its principal officers, showing its financial condition at the close of business on December thirty-first of the year last preceding, and its business for that year. The statement shall be in the form and contain the matters the commissioner prescribes. The commissioner may also address 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 such inquiries. For good cause shown the commissioner may extend the time within which any such statement may be filed. Any such company neglecting to make and file its annual statement in the form and within the time provided by this section shall forfeit one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each day's neglect, to be recovered in a civil action; and upon notice by the commissioner to that effect, its authority to do new business in this State shall cease while such default continues.
