Restructure of debts available for the joint-stock enterprise should be in repayment, write-off, a delay, installments, converting, debt consolidation, and also in purchase or sale of promissory notes, an exchange of separate kinds of debts. Restructure of actives at the enterprise should assume sales by bank of its superfluous actives, tenancy, transfer to pledge of a part of actives, property acquisition, parity change between real and financial actives, liquidation of unprofitable actives.
