Such statement shall be signed and sworn to by the person making it and shall state that the facts it contains are true to that person's own knowledge.(c) If the computations specified in subsection (a) of this section show, at any point during the month, that the broker-dealer applicant or registrant's net capital is less than the minimum required, the broker-dealer applicant or registrant shall file with the commissioner within 10 business days after the end of each month thereafter all of the information required by subsection (b) (2) of this section until three successive months, or such longer period as the commissioner deems appropriate and necessary, have elapsed.(d) Upon written application, the commissioner may exempt from subsection (a) of this section, either unconditionally or on specified terms and conditions, any broker-dealer applicant or registrant not registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or a member of a self-regulatory organization, which satisfies the commissioner that, because of the special nature of its business, its financial position and the safeguards it has established for the protection of customer funds and securities, it is not necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to subject the applicant or registrant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section.Conn.
