90 - Net retained proceeds or losses; distribution and payment.

§  90.  Net  retained proceeds or losses; distribution and payment. 1.  The net retained proceeds or losses of a  worker  cooperative  shall  be  apportioned  and  distributed  at  such  times and in such manner as the  certificate of incorporation or  by-laws  shall  specify.  Net  retained  proceeds  declared  as patronage allocations with respect to a period of  time, and paid or credited to members, shall be  apportioned  among  the  members  in  accordance  with  the  ratio  which each member's patronage  during the period involved bears  to  total  patronage  by  all  members  during  that  period.  As  used  in  this article, "patronage" means the  amount of work performed as a member of a worker  cooperative,  measured  in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws.    2. The   apportionment,  distribution  and  payment  of  net  retained  proceeds required by subdivision one of this section  may  be  in  cash,  credits,  written  notices of allocation, or capital stock issued by the  worker cooperative.
