N.M. Stat. § 54-2A-508
Limitations on distribution.
A. A limited partnership may not make a distribution in violation of the partnership
agreement.
B. A limited partnership may not make a distribution if after the distribution:
(1)
the limited partnership would not be able to pay its debts as they become
due in the ordinary course of the limited partnership's activities; or
(2)
the limited partnership's total assets would be less than the sum of its total
liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the limited partnership were to be
dissolved, wound up and terminated at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the
preferential rights upon dissolution, winding up and termination of partners whose
preferential rights are superior to those of persons receiving the distribution.
C. A limited partnership may base a determination that a distribution is not
prohibited pursuant to Subsection B of this section on financial statements prepared on
the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable in the
circumstances or on a fair valuation or other method that is reasonable in the
circumstances.
D. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection G of this section, the effect of a
distribution pursuant to Subsection B of this section is measured:
(1)
in the case of distribution by purchase, redemption or other acquisition of
a transferable interest in the limited partnership, as of the date money or other property
is transferred or debt incurred by the limited partnership; and
(2)
in all other cases, as of the date:
(a) the distribution is authorized, if the payment occurs within one hundred
twenty days after that date; or
(b) the payment is made, if payment occurs more than one hundred twenty
days after the distribution is authorized.
E. A limited partnership's indebtedness to a partner incurred by reason of a
distribution made in accordance with this section is at parity with the limited
partnership's indebtedness to its general, unsecured creditors.
F. A limited partnership's indebtedness, including indebtedness issued in
connection with or as part of a distribution, is not considered a liability for purposes of
Subsection B of this section if the terms of the indebtedness provide that payment of
principal and interest are made only to the extent that a distribution could then be made
to partners pursuant to this section.
G. If indebtedness is issued as a distribution, each payment of principal or interest
on the indebtedness is treated as a distribution, the effect of which is measured on the
date the payment is made.
