For purposes of this clause, all members of a controlled group of corporations (within the meaning of section 1563(a)) shall be treated as one issuer. "(iii) For purposes of this subparagraph the term 'investment company' means a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust, or a corporation more than 50 percent of the value of whose total assets are stock and securities and more than 80 percent of the value of whose total assets are assets held for investment. In making the 50-percent and 80-percent determinations under the preceding sentence, stock and securities in any subsidiary corporation shall be disregarded and the parent corporation shall be deemed to own its ratable share of the subsidiary's assets, and a corporation shall be considered a subsidiary if the parent owns 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote, or 50 percent or more of the total value of shares of all classes of stock outstanding. "(iv) For purposes of this subparagraph, in determining total assets there shall be excluded cash and cash items (including receivables). Government securities, and, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, assets acquired (through incurring indebtedness or otherwise^ for purposes of meeting the requirements of clause (ii) or ceasing to be an investment company. " (v) This subparagraph shall not apply if the stock of each investment company is owned substantially by the same persons in the same proportions. "(vi) If an investment company which is not diversified within the meaning of clause (ii) acquires assets of another corporation, clause (i) shall be applied to such investment company and its shareholders and security holders as though its assets had been acquired by such other corporation. If such investment company acquires stock of another corporation in a reorganization described in section 368(a)(1)(B) (hereafter referred to as the 'actual acquisition'), clause (i) shall be applied to the shareholders and security holders of such investment company as though they had exchanged with such other corporation all of their stock in such investment company for a percentage of the value of the total outstanding stock of the other corporation equal to the percentage of the value of the total outstanding stock of such investment company which such shareholders own immediately after the actual acquisition. For purposes of section 1001, the deemed acquisition or exchange referred to in the two preceding sentences shall be treated as a sale or exchange of property by the corporation and by the shareholders and security holders to which clause (i) is applied."
