Over Capitalization:
A company is said to be overcapitalized when the aggregate of the par value of its shares and debentures exceeds the true value of its fixed assets.In other words, over capitalisation takes place when the stock is watered or diluted.
Under capitalization:
Under capitalisation is just the reverse of over capitalisation, a company is said to be under capitalised when its actual capitalisation is lower than its proper capitalisation as warranted by its earning capacity. This happens in case of well established companies, which have insufficient capital but, large secret reserves in the form of considerable appreciation in the values of fixed assets not brought into books.
