The values of assets for the purpose of this definition shall not include the value attributed to any future tax benefits, goodwill, patent, trademark, Membership rights granted by the Exchange, preliminary expense or other items of a similar nature which in the opinion of the auditors of the Exchange are regarded in current internationally accepted accounting practice as intangible or the value attributed to any debt owed to the Member which is disputed or may otherwise be regarded as doubtful or the value of any asset which is not capable of being realized within twelve (12) months on a going concern basis. Liabilities shall include all non-current and current liabilities, which in the opinion of the auditors of the Exchange are in accord with current internationally, accepted accounting practice. Liabilities may, if the Exchange so approves, having regard to all the circumstances, exclude approved subordinated debt.”
