(1) When the credit union's regular reserve and undivided earnings are less than two percent of assets at the end of the transfer period, the credit union shall set aside an amount equal to .0015 times the credit union's average daily assets for the transfer period, times the number of days in the transfer period, divided by three hundred sixty-five.
