Sec. 62.160. USE OF EXPENSE FUND CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) The expense of organizing the association, the association's operating expenses, and the dividends declared and paid or credited to the association's savings account holders may be paid out of the expense fund until the association's earnings are sufficient to pay those amounts.
(b) The amounts contributed to the expense fund are not a liability of the association except as provided by this subchapter.
(c) The association shall pay to the contributor dividends on the amount contributed. An amount contributed to the expense fund is considered a savings account of the association.
(d) Contributions to the expense fund may be repaid the contributors pro rata from the net earnings of the association after provision for required loss reserve allocations and payment or credit of dividends declared on savings accounts.
(e) If the association is liquidated before contributions to the expense fund are repaid, contributions to the expense fund that remain unspent after the payment of expenses of liquidation, creditors, and the withdrawal value of savings accounts shall be repaid the contributors pro rata.
(f) The association's books must reflect the expense fund.
