INSTRUCTIONS
Include only those investments that qualify under the definitions contained in Article 9.59, Texas Insurance Code.
Bonds, warrants and interest-bearing indebtedness must be reported at their amortized value as reported in Schedule D of the
carrier's annual statement.
Mortgage obligations must be reported at their unpaid principal balance value. You MUST:
• Furnish an inventory of any investments included as mortgage loans that are not reflected in Schedule B of the carrier's annual
statement.
• Identify each investment in the inventory as to the schedule, line, and page in the carrier's annual statement.
• Furnish a reconciliation when the inventory of investments together with the annual statement of Schedule B totals (Texas and
comparison state) do not equal the amount reported.
Average daily balance of cash on deposit is to be determined on the basis of the sum of the balance in such accounts and such
certificates of deposit as shown on the books of the insurance carrier on the close of each day including Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays, divided by 365. Amounts reported under this category must be greater than or equal to zero.
