(b) Whenever it appears from the report of an industrial loan company or the commissioner has reason to conclude, that the capital stock of an industrial loan company is impaired or reduced below the amount required by this division, the commissioner shall by written order addressed to the company, direct that company to make good the alleged deficiency or impairment of capital. If the company fails to make good the alleged deficiency or impairment of capital, the commissioner may forthwith take possession of the property and business of the industrial loan company pursuant to Section 18415. If the company fails to make good the alleged deficiency or impairment of capital within 60 days of the date of the order, the commissioner shall take possession of the industrial loan company pursuant to Section 18415.
