To properly assess the risks associated with loan repayment, we need to understand how the business has performed over the past several periods. This is called trending. The data needed for this process is several years of financial statements, also known as the borrower’s story about how they have managed their business activities.

The risks of a line of credit are not in the financial statements, but in the reasons for how the financial statements appear. We receive an excessive quantity of numbers in financial statements. However, it is actually the events that produce the numbers that contain the risks.
