Sec. 92.213.  USE OF EXPENSE FUND CONTRIBUTIONS.  (a)  The expense of organizing a savings bank, its operating expenses, and earnings on accounts declared and paid or credited to its deposit account holders may be paid out of the expense fund until the savings bank's earnings are sufficient to pay those amounts.
(b)  The amounts contributed to the expense fund are not a liability of the savings bank except as provided by this subchapter.
(c)  The savings bank shall pay to the contributor dividends on the amount contributed to the same extent the savings bank pays dividends on a deposit account.  An amount contributed to the expense fund is considered a deposit account of the savings bank.
(d)  Contributions to the expense fund may be repaid to the contributors pro rata from the net earnings of the savings bank after provision for required loss reserve allocations and payment or credit of earnings declared on accounts.
(e)  If the savings bank 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 deposit accounts shall be repaid to the contributors pro rata.
(f)  The savings bank's books must reflect the expense fund.
