إذا نتج عن بيع أصل من أصول التفليسة ضامن لدين حصيلة تزيد على مقدار الدين المضمون بهذا الأصل، فيودع أمين الإفلاس المبلغ الزائد في الحساب البنكي المخصص لأصول التفليسة، أما إذا كانت حصيلة البيع لا تكفي لسداد كامل الدين المضمون بهذا الأصل، فيعد المقدار المتبقي من ذلك الدين الذي لم تكف حصيلة البيع لتغطيته ديناً غير مضمون.
