. Any such domestic insurer, after having its required capital
paid in and depositing its required guarantee fund with the State
Treasurer, may invest its funds in the preparation and purchase of
materials and plant necessary to enable it to engage in the title
insurance business. In all statements and proceedings required by law
for the ascertainment and determination of the condition of such
insurer, such materials and plant shall be treated in one of the
following ways:
(a) They may be treated as an asset, valued at actual cost to the
insurer not in excess of 50 per cent of the aggregate par value of
the shares of the insurer's capital stock then issued outstanding,
and apportioned to its title insurance department, including treasury
shares;
(b) They may be treated as an asset, at such lesser value than
that permitted by paragraph (a) of this section as the insurer
estimates;
(c) They may be omitted entirely from the statement or proceeding.
