(b) The primary victim did not suffer personal injury or death and incur expenses or liabilities totaling at least $100;

(c) The crime was not reported within 5 days of the crime unless good cause, which shall include but not be limited to the following, is shown:

(1) The victim's medical condition prevented him or her from making such a report;

(2) The victim's fear for his or her personal safety prevented the victim from making such a report;
