Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- ------ -------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
During 1996, net cash used by operating activities totaled
$1,770,131. The Partnership paid management fees of
$423,849 to the Managing General Partners and reimbursed
related parties for operating expenses of $1,201,708. In
addition, $34,331 was paid to the Individual General
Partners as compensation for their services. Other
operating expenses of $276,630 were paid. The Partnership
received $166,387 in interest income.
In 1996, the Partnership issued $208,334 in secured notes
receivable to a portfolio company in the computer systems
and software industry. Equity investments of $4,843,447
were funded primarily to portfolio companies in the medical
and industrial/business automation industries. Repayments
of secured and convertible notes receivable during 1996
provided cash of $547,440. Proceeds from the sale of
equity investments were $3,466,227 and distributions of
$29,288 were received from venture capital limited
partnership investments. At December 31, 1996, the
Partnership had commitments to fund additional investments
totaling $542,294 and had an outstanding guarantee of
$1,000,000 as discussed in Note 10 to the financial
statements.
During 1996, Bolder Technologies Corporation, CV
Therapeutics, Inc., Conversion Technologies International,
Inc., and Physiometrix, Inc., completed their initial
public offerings ("IPOs"). Although a portion of the
Partnership's holdings are subject to selling restrictions,
these IPOs indicate potential future liquidity for the
Partnership's investments.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996, were
$1,617,085. Future proceeds from investment sales along
with Managing General Partners' support are expected to be
adequate to fund Partnership operations through the next
twelve months.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
1996 compared to 1995
- ---------------------
Net loss was $650,600 in 1996, compared to $2,881,740 in
1995. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to
increases of $1,350,000 and $1,254,079 in the changes in
net unrealized fair value of secured notes receivable and
equity investments, respectively, a $1,238,545 increase in
net realized gain from sales of equity investments, and a
$406,289 decrease in management fees. These changes were
partially offset by a $912,320 increase in realized losses
from investment write-downs, a $688,552 increase in total
operating expenses and a $443,154 decrease in total
interest income.
During 1996, the Partnership recorded a $955,000 increase
in secured notes receivable fair value. The increase was
due to the reclassification of secured notes receivable of
$1,275,000 and $681,565 to equity investments and other
investments, respectively, as these notes had been
reflected with fair values less than cost. A $395,000
decrease was recorded in 1995.
During 1996, the increase in fair value of equity
investments of $2,019,333 was primarily due to portfolio
companies in the medical, computer systems and software,
and communications industries, partially offset by
decreases in the biotechnology and environmental
industries. The 1996 increase was offset by a $1,000,000
reserve for a contingent liability as disclosed in Note 10
of the financial statements. During 1995, the increase of
$765,254 was primarily due to portfolio companies in the
communications, microelectronics, and retail/consumer
products industries, partially offset by decreases in the
medical industry.
During 1996, net realized gain from sales of equity
investments of $2,174,495 was mostly due to the sales of
common stock of Bolder Technologies Corporation, and
TheraTx, Incorporated. During 1995, net realized gain of
$935,950 was mostly due to the partial sales of common
stock of UroMed Corporation and TheraTx, Incorporated.
Management fees were $389,995 and $796,284 for 1996 and
1995, respectively. As discussed in Note 4 to the
financial statements, management fees decreased from two
percent to one percent per annum of total Limited Partner
capital contributions beginning in January of 1996.
During 1996, realized losses from investment write-downs of
$4,049,697 primarily related to portfolio companies in the
computer systems and software and environmental industries.
During 1995, realized losses of $3,317,377 primarily
related to portfolio companies in the environmental,
medical and retail/consumer products industries.
Total operating expenses were $1,549,881 and $861,329 for
1996 and 1995, respectively. As disclosed in Note 4 to the
financial statements, the Partnership may not reimburse the
General Partners for expenses that aggregate more than one
percent of total Limited Partner capital contributions. As
a result, operating expenses of $531,571 and $770,116 were
absorbed by the General Partners in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. During 1996, it was determined that certain
operational costs paid directly by the Partnership were not
subject to the limitation. Consequently, in 1996, $853,838
of direct Partnership expenses previously absorbed by the
General Partners were recognized as additional expenses.
Also disclosed in Note 4, 1995 expenses included expenses
of $453,884 not previously recognized by the Partnership of
which $316,543 related to prior years. Had the limitation
not been in effect and had the additional expenses been
recorded in prior years, total operating expenses would
have been $1,227,614 and $1,314,902 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Total interest income was $177,557 and $620,711 for 1996
and 1995, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to
lower cash and cash equivalents balances resulting from new
and follow-on investments.
Given the inherent risk associated with the business of the
Partnership, the future performance of the portfolio
company investments may significantly impact future
operations.
1995 compared to 1994
- ---------------------
Net loss was $2,881,740 in 1995 compared to a net income of
$1,221,882 in 1994. The decrease was primarily due to a
$2,274,029 decrease in net realized gain from sales of
equity investments, a $2,596,252 increase in realized
losses from investment write-downs and a $322,600 decrease
in interest income. These changes were partially offset by
a $1,079,336 increase in the change in net unrealized fair
value of equity investments.
Net realized gain from sales of equity investments of
$935,950 for 1995 related to the partial sales of UroMed
Corporation and TheraTx, Incorporated. During 1994
$3,209,979 in net realized gain related to the sales of
TheraTx, Incorporated, UroMed Corporation, Erox
Corporation, and Orthologic Corporation.
Realized losses from investment write-downs of $3,137,377
during 1995 primarily related to portfolio companies in the
environmental, medical and retail/consumer products
industries. In 1994, the Partnership realized losses from
investment write-downs of $541,125 related to portfolio
companies in the medical and environmental industries.
Total interest income was $620,711 and $943,311 during 1995
and 1994, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to
lower secured notes receivable interest income resulting
from notes placed on nonaccrual status.
During 1995, the increase in fair value of equity
investments of $765,254 was primarily due to portfolio
companies in the communications, microelectronics, and
retail/consumer products industries, partially offset by
decreases in portfolio companies in the medical industry.
During 1994, the decrease of $314,082 was primarily due to
decreases in portfolio companies in the biomedical,
retail/consumer products and communications industries,
partially offset by increases in portfolio companies in the
medical industry.
Total operating expenses were $861,329 and $800,000 in 1995
and 1994, respectively. Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement, the Partnership may not reimburse the General
Partners for expenses that aggregate more than 2% of total
Limited Partner capital contributions. As a result,
operating expenses of $770,116 and $287,129 were absorbed
by the General Partners in 1995 and 1994, respectively. In
addition, as disclosed above, 1995 operating expenses
included additional administrative and investor services
expenses of $453,884 of which $61,329 related to a prior
year in which the limitation was not in effect. Had the
limitation not been in effect and had the additional
expenses been recorded in prior years, total operating
expenses in 1995 and 1994 would have been $1,314,902 and
$1,179,542, respectively. The increase of $135,360 was
primarily due to higher investment operations and
administrative and investor services expenses resulting
from higher overall portfolio activities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
The Partners
Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund,
L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Technology
Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund, L.P. (a
Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of certain securities and loans owned, by
correspondence with the individual investee and borrowing companies,
and a physical examination of those securities held by a
safeguarding agent as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund,
L.P. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Organization
- ------------
Technology Funding Venture Partners V, An Aggressive Growth Fund,
L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware on June 26, 1989. The purpose of the
Partnership is to make venture capital investments in emerging growth
companies. The Partnership elected to be a business development
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Act"), and operates as a nondiversified investment company as that
term is defined in the Act. The Managing General Partners are
Technology Funding Ltd. ("TFL") and Technology Funding Inc. ("TFI"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of TFL. There are also three Individual
General Partners.
The Partnership offering commenced in May of 1990. On January 2,
1991, the minimum number of Units required to commence Partnership
operations (15,000) had been sold. The offering terminated with
400,000 Units sold on December 31, 1992. The Partnership Agreement
provides that the Partnership will continue until December 31, 1998,
unless further extended for up to two additional two-year periods
from such date if the Managing General Partners so determine or
unless sooner dissolved.
Preparation of Financial Statements and Use of Estimates
- --------------------------------------------------------
These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. This required management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
The financial statements included marketable and non-marketable
investments of $27,395,375 and $25,288,790 (95% and 85% of partners'
capital) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. For the non-marketable
investments, the Managing General Partners have estimated the fair
value of such investments in the absence of readily ascertainable
market values. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation,
those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that
would have been used had a ready market for investment existed, and
the differences could be material. In addition, for certain publicly
traded investments that may not be marketable due to selling
restrictions, the Managing General Partners have applied an
illiquidity discount of up to 33% in determining fair value as
discussed below.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents are principally comprised of cash invested
in demand accounts, money market instruments, and commercial paper
and are stated at cost plus accrued interest. The Partnership
considers all money market and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Organizational Costs
- --------------------
Organizational costs of $35,000 are amortized over 60 months using
the straight-line method.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
No provision for income taxes has been made by the Partnership as the
Partnership is not directly subject to taxation. The partners are to
report their respective shares of Partnership income or loss on their
individual tax returns.
Since the accompanying financial statements are prepared using
generally accepted accounting principles which may not equate to tax
accounting, the Partnership's total tax basis in investments was
higher than the reported total cost basis of $21,029,542 by
$2,397,762 as of December 31, 1996.
Net Realized Income (Loss) Per Unit
- -----------------------------------
Net realized income (loss) per Unit is calculated by dividing the
weighted average number of Units outstanding (400,000) at December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 into total net realized income (loss)
allocated to the Limited Partners. The Managing General Partners
contributed an amount equal to 0.1% of total Limited Partner capital
contributions and did not receive any Partnership Units.
Investments:
- -----------
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
Partnership's method of accounting for investments is the fair value
basis used for investment companies. The fair value of Partnership
investments is their initial cost basis with changes as noted below:
Equity Investments
------------------
The fair value for publicly-traded equity investments (marketable
equity securities) is based upon the five-day-average closing sales
price or bid/ask price that is available on a national securities
exchange or over-the-counter market. Certain publicly-traded equity
investments may not be marketable due to selling restrictions. For
publicly-traded equity investments with selling restrictions, an
illiquidity discount of up to 33% is applied when determining the
fair value; the actual discount percentage is based on the type and
length of the restrictions. Sales of equity investments are recorded
on the trade date. The basis on which cost is determined in
computing realized gains or losses is generally specific
identification.
Other equity investments, which are not publicly traded, are
generally valued utilizing pricing obtained from the most recent
round of third-party financings. Valuation is estimated quarterly by
the Managing General Partners. Included in equity investments are
convertible and subordinated notes receivable as repayment of these
notes generally occur through conversion into equity investments.
Venture capital limited partnership investments are initially
recorded at cost and reduced for distributions that are a return of
capital. Distributions from limited partnership cumulative earnings
are reflected as realized gains by the Partnership.
Equity and venture capital limited partnership investments with
temporary changes in fair value result in increases or decreases to
the unrealized fair value of equity investments. The cost basis does
not change. In the case of an other than temporary decline in value
below cost basis, an appropriate reduction in the cost basis is
recognized as a realized loss with the fair value being adjusted to
match the new cost basis. Adjustments to fair value basis are
reflected as "Change in net unrealized fair value of equity
investments." Cost basis adjustments are reflected as "Realized
losses from investment write-downs" or "Net realized loss from
venture capital limited partnership investments" on the Statements of
Operations.
Secured Notes Receivable, net
-----------------------------
The secured notes receivable portfolio includes accrued interest less
the discount related to warrants and the allowance for loan losses.
The portfolio approximates fair value through inclusion of an
allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed
quarterly by the Managing General Partners and is adjusted to a level
deemed adequate to cover possible losses inherent in notes and
unfunded commitments. Notes receivable are placed on nonaccrual
status when, in the opinion of the Managing General Partners, the
future collectibility of interest or principal is in doubt.
In conjunction with the secured notes issued to portfolio companies,
the Partnership has received warrants to purchase certain shares of
capital stock of the borrowing companies. The cost basis of the
warrants and the resulting discount has been estimated by the
Managing General Partners to be 1% of the principal balance of the
original notes made to the borrowing companies. The discount is
amortized to interest income on a straight-line basis over the term
of the loan. Warrants received in conjunction with convertible notes
are not assigned any additional costs. These warrants are included
in the equity investment portfolio.
Nonrefundable fees received in connection with loan fundings are
deferred and amortized to interest income over the contractual life
of the loan using the effective interest method or the straight-line
method if it is not materially different. Direct loan origination
costs mainly consist of third-party costs and generally are
reimbursed by portfolio companies.
Other Investments
-----------------
At times, the Partnership may receive other assets in satisfaction of
secured notes receivable or equity investments in portfolio
companies. When the asset is received, existing investment balances
in excess of the estimated fair value of the asset received are
written off.
Non-cash Exercise of Warrants
- -----------------------------
Periodically, the Partnership may acquire stock through the non-cash
exercise of warrants. Upon the non-cash exercise of warrants, the
Partnership recorded net realized gains of $4,030 and $156,494 in
1996 and 1994, respectively, as a result of the underlying stock
prices at the date of exercise. These amounts are included in net
realized gain from sales of equity investments. During 1995, there
were no such transactions.
2. Financing of Partnership Operations
-------------------------------------
The Managing General Partners expect cash received from the future
liquidation of Partnership investments and the collection of notes
receivable will provide the necessary liquidity to service
Partnership debt and fund Partnership operations. The Partnership
may be dependent upon the financial support of the Managing General
Partners to fund operations if future proceeds are not received
timely. The Managing General Partners have committed to support the
Partnership's working capital requirements through short-term
advances as necessary.
3. Change in Net Unrealized Fair Value of Equity Investments
---------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the accounting policy as stated in Note 1, the
Statements of Operations include a line item entitled "Change in net
unrealized fair value of equity investments." The table below
discloses details of the changes:

4. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------
Related party costs are included in costs and expenses shown on the
Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, related party costs were as follows:
1996 1995 1994
---- ---- ----
Management fees $ 389,995 796,284 796,201
Individual General
Partners' compensation 34,331 51,913 30,000

Computer services 160,145 123,434 105,295
Expenses absorbed by
General Partners (531,571) (770,116) (287,129)
Expenses previously
absorbed by General
Partners 853,838 -- --
Management fees compensate the Managing General Partners solely for
General Partner Overhead (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
incurred in supervising the operation and management of the
Partnership and the Partnership's investments. Pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement, beginning January 2, 1996, management fees
changed from two percent to one percent per annum of adjusted Capital
contributions. Such amounts due to related parties were $32,500 and
$66,354 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Partnership reimburses the Managing General Partners for
operating expenses incurred in connection with the business of the
Partnership. Reimbursable operating expenses paid by the Managing
General Partners include expenses (other than Organizational and
Offering Expenses and General Partner Overhead) such as
administrative and investor services, investment operations, and
computer services. At December 31, 1996, amounts due to related
parties related to such expenses were $26,746 compared to $25,384 due
from related parties at December 31, 1995. During late 1995,
operating cost allocations to the Partnership were reevaluated. The
Managing General Partners determined that they had not fully
recovered allocable overhead as permitted by the Partnership
Agreement. As a result, the Partnership was charged additional
administrative and investor services expenses of $453,884 that was
not previously recognized by the Partnership; however, during 1995,
$392,555 of this amount was absorbed by the Managing General
Partners. The $453,884 consisted of $137,341, $92,413 and $224,130
for 1995, 1994 and prior years, respectively.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may not pay or
reimburse the Managing General Partners for operational costs that
aggregate more than 1% of total Limited Partner capital contributions
in 1996 and 2% in prior years. During 1996, it was determined that
certain operational costs paid directly by the Partnership were not
subject to this limitation; consequently, $853,838 was reimbursed to
the Managing General Partners. In 1996, 1995 and 1994, operating
expenses incurred by the Managing General Partners exceeded the
limitation by $531,571, $770,116 and $287,129, respectively,
resulting in these amounts being absorbed by the Managing General
Partners.
Had the limitation not been in effect and had the additional expenses
been recorded in prior years, total operating expenses would have
been $1,227,614, $1,314,902 and 1,179,542 for 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively.
During 1996, the Managing General Partners provided cash advances
totaling $984,521 to fund Partnership operations. Interest of
$7,267, calculated at the prevailing prime rate, was incurred. All
advances including accrued interest were repaid prior to year end.
As compensation for their services, the Individual General Partners
each receives $6,000 annually, plus $1,000 for each attended meeting
of the Individual General Partners and related expenses. Two of the
three Individual General Partners each own 20 Units and the third
owns 70 Units.
Under the terms of a computer service agreement, the Partnership
recognized charges from Technology Administrative Management, a
division of TFL, for its share of computer support costs. These
amounts are included in computer services expense.
Officers of the Managing General Partners occasionally receive stock
options as compensation for serving on the Boards of Directors of
portfolio companies. It is the Managing General Partners' policy
that all such compensation be transferred to the investing
partnerships. If the options are non-transferable, they are not
recorded as an asset of the Partnership. Any profit from the
exercise of such options will be transferred if and when the options
are exercised and the underlying stock is sold by the officers. At
December 31, 1996, the Partnership had an indirect interest in non-
transferable Conversion Technologies International, Inc., options at
an exercise price higher than the current market value.
In 1996 and 1995, TFL had a sublease rental agreement with a
Partnership portfolio company in the medical industry. The terms of
this agreement was similar to those which would apply to an unrelated
party.
5. Allocation of Profits and Losses
--------------------------------
Net realized profit and loss of the Partnership are allocated based
on the beginning of year partners' capital balances as follows:
(a) Profits:
(i) First, to those partners with deficit capital account
balances until such deficits have been eliminated;
(ii) Second, to the partners as necessary to offset net loss
and sales commissions previously allocated under (b)(ii)
below; then
(iii)75% to the Limited Partners as a group in proportion to
the number of Units, 5% to the Limited Partners in
proportion to the Unit Months of each Limited Partner,
and 20% to the Managing General Partners. Unit months
are the number of half months a Unit would be
outstanding if held from the date the original holder of
such Unit was deemed admitted into the Partnership until
the termination of the offering of Units.
(b) Losses:
(i) First, to the partners as necessary to offset the net
profits previously allocated to the partners under
(a)(iii) above; then
(ii) 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the Managing
General Partners.
Losses allocable to Limited Partners in excess of their capital
account balances will be allocated to the Managing General Partners.
Net profit thereafter, otherwise allocable to those Limited Partners,
is allocated to the Managing General Partners to the extent of such
losses. For allocation purposes, the Units held by the Individual
General Partners will be treated as Units held by Limited Partners.
Interest income earned on funds held in escrow was allocated 100% to
the Limited Partners. Income earned on short-term investments during
the Offering Period was allocated monthly 99% to the Limited Partners
and 1% to the Managing General Partners.
Losses from unaffiliated venture capital limited partnership
investments are allocated pursuant to section (b) above. Gains are
allocated first to offset previously allocated losses pursuant to
(b)(i) above, and then 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
Managing General Partners.
Given the inherent risk associated with the business of the
Partnership, the future performance of the portfolio company
investments may significantly impact future operations.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows:
1996 1995
---- ----
Balance, beginning of year $ 955,000 560,000
--------- -------
(Decrease) increase in provision

========= =======
These notes are secured by specific assets of the borrowing companies.
The interest rate on secured notes receivable at December 31, 1996,
was 12.5%.
The (decrease) increase in provision for loan losses is generally
comprised of realized loan losses, net of recognized recoveries, and a
change in net unrealized fair value based upon the level of loan loss
reserves deemed adequate by the Managing General Partners at the
respective year ends.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated quarterly by the Managing
General Partners and is adjusted based upon changes to the portfolio
size and risk profile. Although the allowance for loan losses is
established by evaluating individual debtor repayment ability, the
allowance represents the Managing General Partners' assessment of the
portfolio taken as a whole.
Refer to Note 6, Equity Investments, for information regarding the
reclassification of notes to equity investments.
The principal balance of $13,971 is scheduled to be repaid in 1997.

========== ==========
10. Commitments and Contingencies
-----------------------------
The Partnership is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-
sheet risk in the normal course of its business. Generally, these
instruments are commitments for future equity fundings, venture
capital limited partnership investments, equipment financing
commitments, or accounts receivable lines of credit that are
outstanding but not currently fully utilized by a borrowing company.
As they do not represent current outstanding balances, these unfunded
commitments are properly not recognized in the financial statements.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had unfunded commitments as
follows:
Type
- ----
Equity investments $ 262,911
Venture capital limited partnership investments 257,283
Term notes 22,100
---------
Total $ 542,294
=========
The Partnership uses the same credit policies in making these
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-
sheet instruments. Commitments to extend financing are agreements to
lend to a company as long as there are no violations of any conditions
established in the contract. The credit lines generally have fixed
termination dates or other termination clauses. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. All convertible and secured note commitments funded
require collateral specified in the agreements.
In September of 1995, the Partnership jointly guaranteed with two
affiliated partnerships a $2,000,000 line of credit between a
financial institution and a portfolio company in the computer systems
and software industry of which the Partnership's share is $1,000,000.
In October of 1996, the $2,000,000 guarantee was reduced to $1,000,000
as the affiliated partnerships have assumed a portion of the financial
institution's line of credit. The remaining $1,000,000 is guaranteed
by the Partnership but the affiliated partnerships remain joint
guarantors. If the portfolio company fails to repay the line of
credit, the Partnership may be liable up to the guarantee amount. The
Partnership has recorded a $1,000,000 reserve, included in Equity
Investments on the Balance sheet, in the event the portfolio company
fails to repay the line of credit.
