a) less than 1,000 policyholders OR certificate holders of direct written policies nationwide
at the end of the calendar year, AND
b) less than $1 million direct ARIZONA premiums written in the calendar year period, AND
c) less than $1 million assumed premiums* pursuant to contracts and/or treaties of
reinsurance.

We may still require you to file an AFR.
STANDARDIZED ORGANIZATIONAL HARDSHIP EXEMPTION
A standardized organizational hardship exemption is available if you are licensed in Arizona only and
meet all of the criteria described in Form E-AFR.OHE.
An affidavit (sample provided in Form E-AFR.OHE) must be filed with a letter requesting this exemption
no later than March 31. Do not mail these items with your Annual Statement. Mail them separately to
the attention of the Financial Affairs Division.
OTHER HARDSHIP EXEMPTION
If you do not qualify for the automatic or standardized organizational hardship exemptions, you may still
apply for an exemption by sending us a letter requesting an organizational or financial hardship
exemption and an affidavit signed by one of your officers avowing to the facts which create the hardship.
We will notify you in writing that your application is granted or denied.
