(2) Before granting authority to an insurer to transact insurance in this state, the director shall take into consideration the length of time the insurer has been transacting insurance; the net profit or loss experienced over the previous five (5) years; or any other factor which for good reason he believes could make the admittance of the insurer not in the best interest of the insurance-buying public.
