(b)  The Board shall require a licensee to submit an audited financial statement if there is any evidence indicating that the licensee may be unable to meet its financial obligations.  A licensee shall be required to provide evidence of continued financial responsibility satisfactory to the Board if there are indications that the licensee is insolvent, financially unstable, or unable to meet its financial responsibilities.  Except as provided herein, evidence of financial responsibility shall be subject to approval by the Board in accordance with the requirements of Rule .0204 of this Chapter.  A licensee shall provide the Board with a copy of any bankruptcy petition filed by the licensee within 30 days of its filing.  A licensee in bankruptcy shall provide to the Board an audited financial statement with a classified balance sheet as part of any application for renewal.  A corporate licensee shall notify the Board of its dissolution or suspension of its corporate charter within 30 days of such dissolution or suspension.
