Can capital be distributed as dividends?

Can capital be distributed as dividends?
Yes. All companies who pay dividends usually do so out of Retained Capital. Even Real Estate companies (REITS, private partnershiplps, etc) with losses "on the books" because of depreciation or other allowed tax deferrals/credits can pay dividends, and most do. Sometimes you see venture Capital companies take control of a company and pay a special dividend out of "capital."
