(1) An international banking corporation licensed under this chapter shall hold, at its office in this state, currency, bonds, notes, debentures, drafts, bills of exchange, or other evidence of indebtedness or other obligations payable in the United States or in United States funds or, with the prior approval of the director, in funds freely convertible into United States funds in an amount that is not less than one hundred eight percent (108%) of the aggregate amount of liabilities of the international banking corporation payable at or through its office in this state or as a result of the operations of the international bank branch or international bank agency, including acceptances, but excluding:
(a)  Accrued expenses; and
(b)  Amounts due and other liabilities to other offices, agencies, or branches of and wholly owned, except for a nominal number of directors’ shares, and subsidiaries of the international banking corporation.
(2)  For the purpose of this chapter, the director shall value marketable securities at principal amount or market value, whichever is lower, and may determine the value of any nonmarketable bond, note, debenture, draft, bill of exchange, or other evidence of indebtedness or of any other obligation held by or owed to the international banking corporation in this state. In determining the amount of assets for the purpose of computing the above ratio of assets, the director may exclude any particular assets, but may give credit, subject to any rules adopted by the director, to deposits and credit balances with unaffiliated banking institutions outside this state if the deposits or credit balances are payable in United States funds or in currencies freely convertible into United States funds. In no case shall credit given for the deposits and credit balances exceed in aggregate amounts any percentage, but not less than eight percent (8%) as the director may from time to time prescribe, of the aggregate amount of liabilities of the international banking corporations.
