capital asset (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset)
Definition

All tangible property which cannot easily be converted into cash and which is usually held for a long period, including real estate, equipment, etc.

As to the "paying" use, I chose it because if there is a dispute over sth (in this case, the capital assets), the loser will have to PAY.

Sorry: the dispute is over liabilities, not the capital assets.

responding with insufficient, capitalized assets


Explanation:
I chose to say "responding" only to preserve the writer´s (or speaker´s) preference. I say "capitalized", because it seems that the assets are being made "capital" in order to respond judicially. And I am using an American English structure for the adjectives and noun phrase.
