(b) The name and address of any professional service, firm, association, trust, partnership, or corporation in which this person has, or which has in this person, a ten percent (10%) or greater interest and which it is presently intended shall currently or in the future provide goods, leases, or services to the facility, or to residents of the facility, of an aggregate value of five hundred dollars ($500) or more within any year, including a description of the goods, leases, or services and the probable or anticipated cost thereof to the facility, provider, or residents or a statement that this cost cannot presently be estimated; and
(c) A description of any matter in which the person: (i) has been convicted, or found guilty of, or received a withheld judgment for a felony, or been held liable, or enjoined in a civil action by final judgment, which civil action involved fraud, embezzlement, fraudulent conversion, or misappropriation of property; or (ii) is subject to a currently effective injunctive or restrictive court order in any action involving fraud, embezzlement, fraudulent conversion, or misappropriation of property; or (iii) within the past five (5) years, had any local, state or federal license or permit suspended or revoked as a result of fraud, embezzlement, fraudulent conversion, or misappropriation of property.

(c) The manner by which the provider may adjust periodic charges or other recurring fees and the limitations on these adjustments, if any; and, if the facility is already in operation, or if the provider or manager operates one (1) or more similar continuing care locations within this state, tables shall be included showing the frequency and average dollar amount of each increase in periodic charges, or other recurring fees at each facility or location for the previous five (5) years, or such shorter period as the facility or location may have been operated by the provider or manager.
(5) The health and financial conditions required for an individual to be accepted as a resident and to continue as a resident once accepted, including the effect of any change in the health or financial condition of a person between the date of entering a contract for continuing care and the date of initial occupancy of a living unit by that person.
(6) The provisions that have been made or will be made to provide reserve funding or security to enable the provider to perform its obligations fully under contracts to provide continuing care at the facility, including the establishment of escrow accounts, trusts, or reserve funds, together with the manner in which these funds will be invested, and the names and experience of any individuals in the direct employment of the provider who will make the investment decisions.
(7) Certified financial statements of the provider, including (i) a balance sheet as of the end of the most recent fiscal year, and (ii) income statements for the three (3) most recent fiscal years of the provider or such shorter period of time as the provider shall have been in existence.
