Limitations on distributions
Official statutory text
LIMITATIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS.
(a) A limited cooperative association may not make a
distribution if, after the distribution:
(1) The association would not be able to pay its debts as they
become due in the ordinary course of the association’s activities;
or
(2) The association’s assets would be less than the sum of its
total liabilities.
(b) A limited cooperative association may base a determination
that a distribution is not prohibited under subsection (a) of this
section on financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting
practices and principles that are reasonable in the circumstances or
on a fair valuation or other method that is reasonable in the
circumstances.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this
section, the effect of a distribution allowed under subsection (b)
of this section is measured:
(1) In the case of distribution by purchase, redemption, or
other acquisition of financial rights in the limited cooperative
association, as of the date money or other property is transferred
or debt is incurred by the association; and
(2) In all other cases, as of the date:
(A) the distribution is authorized, if the payment occurs
not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after
that date; or
(B) the payment is made, if payment occurs more than one
hundred twenty (120) days after the distribution is
authorized.

(d) If indebtedness is issued as a distribution, each payment
of principal or interest on the indebtedness is treated as a
distribution, the effect of which is measured on the date the
payment is made.
(e) For purposes of this section, “distribution” does not
include reasonable amounts paid to a member in the ordinary course
of business as payment or compensation for commodities, goods, past
or present services, or reasonable payments made in the ordinary
course of business under a bona fide retirement or other benefits
program.
