Five years ago, Macro Arco Corporation (MAC) borrowed $12 million from Friendly Neighbor Bank (FNB) to finance the purchase of a new factory to be able to meet an expected increase in demand for its products. The expected increase in demand never materialized, and due to a downturn in the economy, MAC is no longer able to make its monthly payments to FNB.
