Explanation:
I think that "einpti" is in fact "empti".
Problem when deciphering/OCRing the original, perhaps.

These are two past participles, in the masculine plural form.

One other thing came to mind: I would normally expect a neuter plural form when referring to real estate property/bonds/assets, not the masculine gender but it's difficult to say without more information.
