general and restricted purposes, during the fiscal year.
   (5) Any information required by Section 6322.
   (b) The report required by subdivision (a) shall be accompanied by
any report thereon of independent accountants, or, if there is no
such report, the certificate of an authorized officer of the
corporation that such statements were prepared without audit from the
books and records of the corporation.
   (c) Subdivision (a) does not apply to any corporation which
receives less than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in gross

   (d) Where a corporation has provided, pursuant to Section 5510,
for regular meetings of members less often than annually, then the

unless the articles or bylaws require a report more often.
   (e) Subdivisions (c) and (d) notwithstanding, a report with the
information required by subdivision (a) shall be furnished annually
to:
   (1) All directors of the corporation; and
   (2) Any member who requests it in writing.
   (f) A corporation which in writing solicits contributions from 500
or more persons need not send the report otherwise required by

   (i) Includes with any written material used to solicit
contributions a written statement that its latest annual report will
be mailed upon request and that such request may be sent to the
corporation at a name and address which is set forth in the
statement.
   The term "annual report" as used in this subdivision refers to the
report required by subdivision (a).
   (ii) Promptly mails a copy of its latest annual report to any
person who requests a copy thereof; and
   (iii) Causes its annual report to be published not later than 120
days after the close of its fiscal year in a newspaper of general
