The transition which began during late nineties and the economic crisis of the end of the 1990s led to the worsening of financial situation of Polish enterprises. Our firms had a lot of problems with their solvency, liquidity and profitability. It forced them to improve and restructure. Unfortunately many firms could not or were not in a position to pass such activities individually. Therefore, the state decided to support firms in their financial restructuring by the use of "soft budgeting". The usage of "soft financing" can adopt two forms. On the one hand, the state supports firms with public resources throwing open them tools of the state aid. On the other hand, the state interferes into market processes to introduce system-tools targeting the relief for firms being found snookered of economic. The purpose of these tools is first of all, making possible for firms to get rid of "bad" (excessive, impossible to the repayment) debts. Since 1990, the state has taken the decision to cancel debts of enterprises twice. The first time it took place was in the early '90s. It comprised resignation from collecting certain taxes, agreements with SSO and the bank, judicial and civil conciliation agreements. Writing off debts was applied for the second time in 2002. This time only debts toward the state (taxes, duties and contributions) were cancelled. The aim of the paper is to assess the tendency of the formation of the level and structures of public liabilities of firms in the years 1990-2003. Additionally the correlation of the public debts of firms and basic financial parameters is analised in the paper. The purpose of this analysis is examining what factors influence the level of liabilities of firms toward the state and checking whether the usage "soft" budget constraints may addict enterprises to state's aid.
