(1) The amount the provider is required to hold as a liquid reserve, including the amounts required for the debt service reserve and the operating expense reserve.
(2) The qualifying assets, and their respective values, the provider has designated for its debt service reserve and for its operating expense reserve.
(3) The amount of any deficiency or surplus for the provider’s debt service reserve and the provider’s operating expense reserve.
