B. A statement by the independent C PA that recognizes without qualification the right of the director to rely on such report; or
2. A report of examination conducted by the director pursuant to sections 374.202 to 374.207 and 376.1506, RSMo, except that such examination will be conducted on the basis of GAAP or SSAP, which will review and opine on the discount medical plan organization's statement of profit or loss, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows as of a date not more than twelve (12) months prior to the date of such organization's registration.
(B) Renewal of Registration. At the time of renewal, each discount medical plan organization will demonstrate that it meets the net worth requirement according to GAAP or SSAP by filing a statement sworn to or affirmed by two (2) or more officers of such organization, which statement consists of the statement of profit or loss, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows of the discount medical plan organization as of a date not more than twelve (12) months prior to the date of such organization's renewal of registration.
