Passage Three Well over half of all bank commercial loans are made for a short term, that is, for period of less than one year. Of these loans, about half are made on an unsecured basis to seasonal businesses and to borrowers with short-lived and project-oriented needs for funds. Secured short-term borrowers typically are less strong financially or are untested businesses without an earnings record. The most common type of short-term loan is the working capital line of credit extended to financially strong borrowers who have seasonal swings in their operations. Retailers and seasonal manufacturing firms are regular users of such credit. Through the line-of-credit commitment, a bank indicates its intention to honor borrowings up to the amount of the line. The amount is established on the basis of the customer’s proforma peak funding requirement, and it assures the borrower of the availability of funds to finance bulges in working capital as sales expand and contract. The line of credit facility is very flexible and overcomes the need to extend a series of separate short-term loans. The customer "takes down" only parts of the line as the need arises, so that redundant borrowings are unnecessary. Loan interest is charged on only the amount actually borrowed, and the loan may be repaid as reflows of cash to the firm occur when seasonal sales decline. In quite a few instances, line-of-credit borrowing is unsecured.

Passage 3 Though the glass building is modern enough, such scenes suggest that little has really changed at London’s ancient insurance market. For centuries, brokers and underwriters have performed similar rituals, in good times and in bad notably in the early 1990s, when Lloyd’s suffered such huge losses that it almost went under. But since it pulled back from the abyss in 1996, Lloyd’s has reinvented itself. It clings tenaciously to its historic trappings; but, in substance, it is as though it had died and come back in a new form. To see how Lloyd’ s has changed, look at who invests there. This year, Britain’s largest insurer, CGU, has moved its marine operation into Lloyd’s. March ＆ McLennan, the world’s largest insurance broker, has helped to found a new Bermudian insurer that will underwrite from Lloyd’s. And the market has welcomed its first big multinational, Smith Kline BeeCham, a drags giant, which has launched an in-house (or "captive") insurer. Other arrivals read like a Who’s of the industry, including Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway, Ace, a Bermudian insurer, and America’s Paul. This adds up to a ringing endorsement of Lloyd’s renewed viability, long-term profitability and competitiveness, none of which could have been taken for granted as recently as 1996. Then the market had racked up the world’s biggest-ever commercial loss(8 billion $13 billion)in five years. It had mined at least 1,600 of its 34,000 members ("names") , all underwriting with unlimited liability; some committed suicide. Lloyd’s seemed doomed. In the Lloyd’s system, all the members ______.
