(c) Refuse to recognize the stated value of accounts receivable if the ability to collect receivables is highly speculative in view of the age of the account or the financial condition of the debtor; or

(d) Increase the captive insurer's liability in an amount equal to any contingent liability, pledge, or guarantee not otherwise included if there is a substantial risk that the captive insurer will be called upon to meet the obligation undertaken within the next 12-month period.

(2) An order of the director under ORS 731.385 regarding a foreign captive insurer may be limited to the extent provided by statute.
