(c)  The number of prepaid health clinic contracts issued and outstanding, and the number of prepaid health clinic contracts terminated and a compilation of the reasons for such terminations;

(2)  Any clinic which neglects to file the annual report in the form and within the time required by this section is subject to an administrative penalty, not to exceed $100 for each day during which the neglect continues; and, upon notice by the department to that effect, the authority of the clinic to do business in this state shall cease while such default continues.
