g. If all of the deposits of any other depository institution making a deposit report were acquired between the dates of the two most recent available deposit reports in an acquisition or as a result of a series of acquisitions, the statement shall set forth the amount of the deposits in this state acquired from each such other depository institution measured as of the date of the earlier of the two most recent available deposit reports of each such depository institution made prior to the acquisition.
