Let $\{X_{i}\}$ be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables with $EX_{1}>0$, and let $\{S_{k}\}$ be the sequence of the partial sums. We obtain asymptotic expansions for the renewal measure $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}P(S_{k}\in \cdot)$, taking into account the influence of the roots of the characteristic equation $1-E\exp(sX_{1})=0$ which lie in the strip of analyticity of the Laplace transform $E\exp(sX_{1})$. The exact asymptotic behaviour of the remainder terms is established. We also give submultiplicative estimates for the remainders.
