ASC 505-10 is the residual "Overall" subtopic for equity — it covers equity matters not addressed in the other Equity subtopics (stock dividends/splits, treasury stock, spinoffs) or in other Topics such as 480 and 815. Its core rules are that transactions in an entity's own capital stock (and quasi-reorganization adjustments and transfers to/from appropriated retained earnings) never affect net income, that additional paid-in capital may not be used to relieve income of charges, and that notes received for stock are generally shown as a deduction from equity rather than as an asset. It also imposes extensive disclosures on the rights and privileges of outstanding securities, convertible preferred stock, redemption requirements, and liquidation preferences.
