A company is said to be overcapitalized, when its total capital (both equity and debt) exceeds the true value of its assets. It is wrong to identify overcapitalization with exess of capital because most of the overcapitalized firms suffer from the problems of liquidity.

Causes of overcapitalization:

1. Decline in the earnings of the company.

2. Fall in dividend rates.

3. Market value of company's share falls, and company loses investors confidence.

4. Company may collapse at any time because of anemic financial conditions - it will affect its employees, society, consumers and its shareholders.
