Treasury stock is a process of accounting that dates back as early as 1720. The concept of treasury stock originated when “companies discovered that they could sell shares at an unrealistically low price equal to par value incorporators, who in turn donated those shares back to the company. As a result these shares, which had already been issued though not outstanding could be sold at whatever the real market price was without adjusting for stated capital” 2. There is however, not one securely agreed upon definition, as over the years there has been a lack of unanimity as to just what should be included under the term. One commonly accepted and simple definition was stated by late Professor Glenn “of course it is a stock that has been issued and later reacquired by the same company”. Another generally accepted definition that goes into more detail was stated by Fletcher, he defines it as “Treasury stock is as its name implies, it is a stock held by the corporation in its treasury to be used or disposed of by the company in the furtherance of corporate purposes, but the courts are not in accord as to how or what procedure shares of stock acquire or take on the status of treasury stock. The courts are agreed that such stock is the personal property of the corporation to be disposed of by the company on such terms as it chooses. A difference in opinion arises as to whether treasury stock is an “asset” or “property” 6. Some of the confusion regarding the nature of treasury stock
