A. A corporation shall furnish its shareholders annual financial statements that may be consolidated or combined statements of the corporation and one or more of its subsidiaries, as appropriate, and that include a balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal year, an income statement for that year and a statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the year unless that information appears elsewhere in the financial statements. If financial statements are prepared for the corporation on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles, the annual financial statements shall also be prepared on that basis.
B. If the annual financial statements are reported on by a certified public accountant, that report shall accompany them. If not, the statements shall be accompanied by a statement of the president or the person responsible for the corporation's accounting records both:
1. Stating that person's reasonable belief whether the statements were prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and, if not, describing the basis of preparation.
2. Describing any respects in which the statements were not prepared on a basis of accounting consistent with the statements prepared for the preceding year.
C. A corporation shall mail or transmit the annual financial statements to each shareholder within one hundred twenty days after the close of each fiscal year. On written request from a shareholder the corporation shall mail or transmit that shareholder the latest annual financial statements.
