SAP treatment of nonadmitted assets in statutory surplus is best described as:

In SAP, only assets that meet admission criteria can be counted toward statutory surplus. Nonadmitted assets are intentionally excluded from the admitted asset base, so they do not contribute to the surplus calculation. This conservatism keeps the solvency measure robust by not counting assets that regulators don’t allow to back solvency. Impairment and fair value concepts operate differently and don’t change the basic rule that nonadmitted items aren’t included in the surplus. So the correct description is that nonadmitted assets are excluded from statutory surplus.
