Japanese term or phrase: 減債積立金取崩額 (repost)
I am reposting this KudoZ Q with more information.なんども申し訳ありません。

Original sentence:
資本的収支については、***円の資金不足となりましたが、前年度繰越工事資金、減債積立金取崩額や損益勘定留保資金などにより補てんしました。

Further definition from the client:
例の「前年度繰越工事資金、減債積立金取崩額や損益勘定留保資金等により補填しました」のところ、減債積立取崩額うんぬんは、債券償還準備金、つまり債権をかえすための準備金をくずして補てんする、という意味です。

I'm clueless on what this means. I was informed this is an original term used only by the client. Any help on how to render this in English?

Thank you for your assistance.

reversal [amount reversed] of sinking-fund reserve
Explanation:
In "Yahoo! 辞書" (http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/), which uses Shogakukan's Progressive Japanese-English Dictionary, "減債積立金" is defined as "a sinking-fund reserve". "取崩額" or "取り崩し額" is "amount revsersed" or, simply, "reversal", and the phrase would be "reversal [amount reversed] of sinking-fund reserve".
