All applications for insurance shall be forwarded, together with an application fee, if any, prescribed by the corporation, to the chief executive officer of the corporation. The chief executive officer, after preparing necessary records for the corporation, shall prepare a report which may include, but shall not be limited to, such facts about the company under consideration as its history, wage standards, job opportunities, stability of employment, past and present financial condition and structure, pro-forma income statements, present and future markets and prospects, and integrity of management. Such report shall conclude with a brief discussion and opinion as to whether the applicant would contribute to the development and advancement of the business prosperity and economic welfare of the state of Connecticut. Such report shall be submitted to the corporation through its chief executive officer and shall be advisory in nature only. After receipt and consideration of the above report and after such other action as is deemed appropriate, the corporation shall approve or deny the application. The applicant shall be promptly notified of such action by the corporation. If the application is approved, notice of such approval shall be transmitted to the proposed mortgagee or lender chosen by the applicant. Such approval shall be conditioned upon payment to the corporation, within such reasonable time after notification of approval as may be specified by the corporation, of a commitment fee prescribed by the corporation. No mortgage or loan shall be accepted for insurance unless the corporation finds that the project with respect to which the mortgage or loan is executed is financially sound.
