Official statutory text
net assets defined.
DETERMINATION OF AMOUNT OF CAPITAL; CAPITAL,
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 18. Corporations Page 352
SURPLUS AND NET ASSETS DEFINED
Any corporation, by resolution of its board of directors, may
determine that only a part of the consideration which shall be
received by the corporation for any of the shares of its capital
stock which it shall issue from time to time shall be capital; but,
in case any of the shares issued shall be shares having a par value,
the amount of the part of such consideration so determined to be
capital shall be in excess of the aggregate par value of the shares
issued for such consideration having a par value, unless all the
shares issued shall be shares having a par value, in which case the
amount of the part of such consideration so determined to be capital
need be only equal to the aggregate par value of such shares. In
each such case the board of directors shall specify in dollars the
part of such consideration which shall be capital. If the board of
directors shall not have determined, at the time of issue of any
shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued for cash or
within sixty (60) days after the issue of any shares of the capital
stock of the corporation issued for consideration other than cash,
what part of the consideration for such shares shall be capital, the
capital of the corporation in respect of such shares shall be an
amount equal to the aggregate par value of such shares having a par
value, plus the amount of the consideration for such shares without
par value. The amount of the consideration so determined to be
capital in respect of any shares without par value shall be the
stated capital of such shares. The capital of the corporation may
be increased from time to time by resolution of the board of
directors directing that a portion of the net assets of the
corporation in excess of the amount so determined to be capital be
transferred to the capital account. The board of directors may
direct that the portion of such net assets so transferred shall be
treated as capital in respect of any shares of the corporation of
any designated class or classes. The excess, if any, at any given
time, of the net assets of the corporation over the amount so
determined to be capital shall be surplus. "Net assets" means the
amount by which total assets exceed total liabilities. Capital and
surplus are not liabilities for this purpose. Notwithstanding
anything in this section to the contrary, for purposes of this
section and Sections 1041 and 1049 of this title, the capital of any
nonstock corporation shall be deemed to be zero.
