(1) the aggregate amount shall be determined at the time of issuance and shall include amounts received in the issuance and all prior issuances; and

(2) in the case of stock issued in a calendar year after 1993, the aggregate amount shall not exceed an amount equal to twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) multiplied by the cost-of-living adjustment determined under Section 1 (f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for that calendar year by substituting "1992" for "1987" in Subparagraph (B) of that section.

B. For the purpose of determining the aggregate amount in Subsection A of this section:

(1) the amount taken into account with respect to any property other than money shall be an amount equal to the adjusted basis of that property for determining capital gain:
