A. No security or investment (other than property or shares acquired pursuant to Sections 1612, 1616 or 1624 of this article) shall be eligible for acquisition unless it is interest bearing or interest accruing or dividend or income paying, is not then in default in any respect, and the insurer is entitled to receive for its exclusive account and benefit the interest or income accruing thereon. Defaults in interest or income occurring subsequent to acquisition of an investment shall not affect allowance thereof as an asset.
