(ii) The acquisition cost of the security to the insurer, adjusted in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to reflect changes since such acquisition in the issuer’s financial condition and business.
(2) Preferred or guaranteed stocks or shares while paying full dividends may be carried at a fixed value in lieu of market value, according to a generally accepted method of computation approved by the director.

(4) No valuations under this section shall be inconsistent with any applicable valuation or method then currently formulated or approved by the national association of insurance commissioners or its successor organization.
