Welcome
to the NJDOBI Banking Annual Reports Online Application
for report year 2008.
In order to ensure your annual report is properly completed and submitted, please read all of these instructions carefully.
We also recommend printing these instructions to have as a future reference.
Who Must File an Annual Report?
ALL NEW JERSEY BANKING DIVISION LICENSEES who held an active license, listed under the General Instructions, for any period of time from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 are required to file an annual report. You are required to fill out an annual report even if you did ZERO business.
If you were actively licensed on December 31, 2008 in the State of New Jersey, your annual report must reflect the total activity of your business as of the end of 2008.
If you surrendered your license during 2008 (closed your business, merged with another company, etc...), your annual report must reflect the total activity of your business as of the date of surrender. For example, if you closed your business on March 3, 2008, you would report the activity of your business in New Jersey up to this date.
Your annual report should only reflect the amount of business done in New Jersey through your main office and all New Jersey branch offices during 2008 unless otherwise directed to do so in the detailed help available for each page.
General
Instructions
When filing electronically, the Department recommends first downloading
and printing out the Worksheet that corresponds to the particular type
of annual report you will be filing, and completing this worksheet in
its entirety before entering your annual report data into the online
system. These worksheets are available by license type in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file formats and can be
accessed by clicking on the appropriate link listed below:
Licensed Lenders The worksheet for lenders encompasses all lender authorities: Consumer Lender,
Correspondent Mortgage Banker,
Mortgage Broker, Mortgage Lender, Sales Finance Company, Secondary Mortgage Lender
Please review the Annual Report worksheet form to familiarize yourself
with its contents prior to attempting to enter data electronically.
Some sections of these forms are followed by supplements that will allow
you to enter detail information much more easily.
Once you complete the online report and submit it to the Department,
you will be able to print a copy of the completed report to retain for
your files.
Use the "Tab" key to navigate from field to field on each screen.

You may not submit your own financial statements as a substitute
for the financial information being requested. You must supply
this information by using either the online Annual Report or the hard
copy form supplied by the Department upon request. You will also need prior
approval from the Department before you can submit a hard copy Annual Report.
Valid numbers and amounts are up to 13 digits in length, characters
0 through 9 and must have a POSITIVE value. The only exceptions are:
the Stockholders' Equity page of the Balance Sheet and the Net Income
page of the Income Statement. On both pages, negative values are allowed.
Enter all amounts in whole US dollars only, unless otherwise instructed.
To round an amount to the nearest whole dollar, any partial dollar amount
50 cents and higher should be rounded up to the next whole dollar, and
any partial dollar amount 49 cents and lower should be rounded down
to the previous whole dollar.
Round all percentages and other fractions to two decimals places.
For example, round .66666… (2/3) to .67; round 5 1/8 (5.125)
to 5.13.
All information is required unless otherwise specified.
All dates should be entered in month/day/year format. For example,
01/22/2008.
The requirements for completing and filing the Annual Report are
determined by your License Type. If you conducted business as a Licensed
Lender, the filing requirements are also determined by the Lending Authorities
under which you conducted business. If you actively conducted business
during the year under more than one License Type, you will need
to complete one Annual Report for each type of license.
Each page will include a help button and an email link to provide assistance.
