Page 2 of 76

, Solvency Test = assets, fairly valued, are equal to, or exceeds, liabilities of the
company fairly valued. (Sec 4(a))

Liquidity Test

 means that the company will be able to pay its debts
 as they become due (Sec 4(b))
 in the ordinary course of business
 for a period of 12 months after the date of the test
 current assets fairly valued are equal to, or exceed current liabilities fairly
valued


Solvency and liquidity tests are used when

 when buying back shares
 granting financial assistance
 declaring a dividend (distributions)




When declaring a dividend

1. in terms of section 46, a company must not make any proposed distribution
unless the distribution
 is pursuant to an existing legal obligation of the company, or a court order
 the board of the company, by resolution, has authorized the distribution
2. it must reasonably appear that the company has performed the solvency and
liquidity test before the distribution.
3. According to section 77(3), A director is liable for any loss, damages or costs
sustained by the company if the board approved a distribution and failed to
vote against the distribution, despite knowing that the distribution was contrary
to section 46. In such a case, the directors did not perform their duties
regarding the application of the solvency and liquidity test properly; otherwise
they would never have approved the distribution.
