BILLSON'S BEVERAGES: Collapses After Almost 160 Years in Business
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Daily Mail Australia reports that Australian beverages brand
Billson's has plunged into voluntary administration as a perfect
storm of challenges strikes independent brewers.
Husband-and-wife team Nathan and Felicity Cowan, who ran the
historic brewery in Beechworth, northeast Victoria, are devastated
by the collapse of the company which was founded in 1865.
According to the report, the couple blamed the downfall of the
ready-to-drink canned vodka, craft beer and cordial business on a
sharp decline in customer spending due to rising inflation and the
high government excise tax on spirits.
"Over the course of seven years, everyone's hard work and passion
has resulted in overwhelming support by people all over Australia
and some pretty incredible business growth," the owners said in a
statement.
"Unfortunately, that growth masked several mistakes we made along
the way as our systems and processes failed to keep up.
"We're ultimately responsible for these mistakes, and we know that
we have let people down. We are devastated and sorry."
The collapse of the business comes despite annual sales soaring to
about AUD120 million in 2023-24, up from AUD100 million a year
earlier, Daily Mail Australia notes.
Rob Smith & Matthew Hutton of McGrathnicol were appointed as
voluntary administrators of Billson's Beverages Pty Ltd on July 31,
2024.
According to Daily Mail Australia, Mr. Smith explained an extensive
assessment into the business was underway, which would result in
some redundancies.
However, the administrator expects a lot of interest from potential
buyers and is hopeful a Billson's could be sold quickly.
"We are engaging with key stakeholders to maximise the prospect of
successfully completing a sale or recapitalisation of Billson's,"
the report quotes Mr. Smith as saying in a statement.
"Our immediate focus is to undertake an assessment of Billson's
assets and work alongside management, employees, suppliers, and
customers to secure the best outcome for all parties.
"We anticipate launching a business sale process imminently, which
we anticipate will garner significant interest."
In January, Billson's employed approximately 200 staff members.
However, by February the company had slashed this number in half to
100 in an effort to cut costs, with the administrators planning to
implement further job cuts, Daily Mail Australia relays.
Billson's Beverages is an Australia-based craft brewer and
ready-to-drink vodka maker.
ID FUNDS: Licence Suspended for Failure to Submit Financial Report
------------------------------------------------------------------
Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) has suspended
the Australian financial services (AFS) licence of Id Funds
Management Limited (Id Funds) until Feb. 28, 2025.
The licence was suspended on the basis that Id Funds failed to meet
its statutory audit and financial reporting lodgment obligations
for the financial years ending June 30, 2022 and
June 30, 2023.
ASIC will lift the suspension earlier if Id Funds complies with its
statutory audit and financial reporting lodgment obligations. ASIC
may consider further action if Id Funds continues to not comply
with its obligations at the end of the suspension period.
Id Funds has held AFS licence no. 488178 since March 29, 2017 and
may apply to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for a review of
ASIC's decision.

REX AIRLINES: AITA Seeks Australia's Government Aid
---------------------------------------------------
Travel Daily Media reports that in light of the recent collapse of
Rex Airlines, the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA)
asked Australia's Federal Government to ensure that any support
package for the airline includes compensation for the wider travel
ecosystem.
According to the report, the AITA pointed out how many travel
agents are currently out of pocket with significant amounts
outstanding and owed by Rex Airlines.
These travel professionals are now also doing all they can to
support those travelling Australians impacted by Rex entering
voluntary administration.
ATIA formally wrote to federal Transport minister Catherine King,
seeking financial support for those affected by this development,
both financially and in terms of additional work supporting
Australian consumers with Rex bookings, Travel Daily Media relays.
"Financial assistance is crucial to help travel businesses manage
this difficult period, and we are hopeful the Federal Government
will understand that," the report quotes AITA chief executive Dean
Long as saying.
"Ensuring that those travel agents impacted are supported is
essential given the circumstances, and also important for
maintaining the integrity and competitiveness of the Australian
travel industry."
Travel Daily Media relates that Mr. Long went on to explain that
Rex Airlines served as a lifeline for much of regional and rural
Australia, ensuring these communities stay connected to the rest of
the country.
He likewise expressed hope that the airline can eventually return
to operations and that the AITA remains committed to supporting its
members through these challenging times.
About Rex Airlines
Regional Express Pty. Ltd., trading as Rex Airlines (and as
Regional Express Airlines on regional routes), is an Australian
airline based in Mascot, New South Wales. It operates scheduled
regional and domestic services. It is Australia's largest regional
airline outside the Qantas group of companies and serves all 6
states across Australia. It is the primary subsidiary of Regional
Express Holdings.
Samuel Freeman, Justin Walsh, and Adam Nikitins of Ernst & Young
Australia (EY Australia) have been appointed Joint and Several
Voluntary Administrators by the Rex Group's respective Boards of
Directors. The companies in administration are:
* Regional Express Holdings Limited;
* Regional Express Pty Limited;
* Rex Airlines Pty Ltd;
* Rex Investment Holdings Pty Limited; and
* Air Partners Pty Ltd.
REX AIRLINES: Called in EY as Advisers in May
---------------------------------------------
Ayesha de Kretser at The Australian Financial Review reports that
Regional Express Airlines asked EY to conduct a strategic review of
its operations months before it slipped into voluntary
administration, documents filed with the corporate regulator show.
Rex shares were suspended from trading on July 29 and its board met
on July 30 to appoint EY as voluntary administrators. AFR says the
airline has stopped flying between capital cities and agreed to
focus on its regional operations, where it is often the only air
transport link.
According to AFR, EY's declaration of relevant relationships and
indemnities filed with the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission on Aug. 1 revealed Rex's major lender, Asian private
equity firm PAG, asked the airline to bring in consultants to
assess "strategic options".
AFR relates that EY said it was asked to "conduct a limited scope
business review", which did not compromise its independence as the
appointed voluntary administrator.
It was paid more than AUD500,000 up front for its review and
advice.
"EY's advice was limited to preparation of a template financial
model for management to develop inputs and assumptions and
assessing the company's financial position and the consequences of
insolvency and restructuring options," the consultants, as cited by
AFR, said.
"Our work involved the building of the mechanics of the financial
model only. We did not have any input into the assumptions that
underpinned the financial forecasts in the model or nor did we
express any opinion on the achievability of the forecasts."
AFR adds that the declaration also shows Deloitte was consulted for
"contingency planning". It is understood PAG asked Deloitte to
assess liquidating Rex's assets to recoup its AUD120 million
investment in the airline.
Westpac has also emerged as a secured creditor to the airline known
as Rex, understood to have a AUD170 million exposure to the Pel-Air
air ambulance service, which is not in administration, AFR relays.
The bank's debt is fully guaranteed by various state governments.
EY said it had been paid AUD220,000 in advance for its review and
also received AUD300,000 in advance for services provided relating
to contingency planning for a possible voluntary administration
appointment.
"These fees were paid to us by the companies," it said.
The Transport Workers Union said Rex workers have been told more
than 600 jobs are at risk, AFR reports. The airline has no plans to
resume flying between capital cities, but EY is trying to find a
buyer to ensure its regional operations can continue operating.

TOTAL FIRST: Second Creditors' Meeting Set for Aug. 6
-----------------------------------------------------

Home Solutions Pty Ltd has been set for Aug. 6, 2024 at 11:00 a.m.
via teleconference only.
The purpose of the meeting is (1) to receive the report by the
Administrator about the business, property, affairs and financial
circumstances of the Company; and (2) for the creditors of the
Company to resolve whether the Company will execute a deed of
company arrangement, the administration should end, or the Company
be wound up.
Creditors wishing to attend are advised proofs and proxies should
be submitted to the Administrator by Aug. 5, 2024 at 4:00 p.m.
Geoffrey Trent Hancock of Hamilton Murphy was appointed as
administrator of the company on July 1, 2024.
UNITED GLOBAL: ASIC Bans Director for 10 Years and Cancels Licence
------------------------------------------------------------------
Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) has banned
Joel James Hewish for 10 years from providing financial services,
performing any function involved in carrying on of a financial
services business and controlling an entity that carries on a
financial services business.
ASIC has also cancelled the Australian financial services (AFS)
licence of Mr. Hewish's company, United Global Capital Pty Ltd
(UGC). ASIC found that UGC's authorised representatives
contacted prospective clients and recommended they establish a
self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF), rollover their existing
superannuation into the SMSF and invest it in highly speculative
investments related to Mr. Hewish.
UGC's AFS licence was cancelled based on ASIC's findings that UGC:
* used a client onboarding process that lured people into
investing their retirement savings in UGC-related products
by having calls made to prospective clients using details
including those obtained from a third-party website
operator, offering them a free superannuation 'health
check',
* through its authorised representatives, recommended
investments to clients that included speculative investments
in Global Capital Property Fund Limited in which Mr. Hewish
had an interest,
* attempted to contract out of its personal advice obligations
whereas its representatives did give personal advice to
clients in breach of those obligations, including by failing
to act in clients' best interests and giving them
inappropriate advice, and
* contravened a number of its general obligations as an AFS
licensee including the obligation to do all things necessary
to ensure the financial services authorised under its
licence are provided efficiently, honestly and fairly; the
obligation to take reasonable steps to ensure its
representatives comply with financial services laws, and the
obligation to have adequate arrangements in place to manage
conflicts of interest.
ASIC banned Mr. Hewish having found that he:
* was involved in UGC's conduct as its responsible manager and
key person under the licence,
* demonstrated a fundamental lack of competence, and a
cavalier attitude to his management of UGC and the
importance of complying with financial services laws,
* created a culture of non-compliance and incompetence at UGC,
And
* cannot be trusted to comply with financial services laws.
Mr. Hewish and UGC have appealed to the Administrative Appeals
Tribunal for a review of ASIC's decision.
ASIC's order cancelling UGC's licence and banning Mr. Hewish was
served on June 3, 2024, but ASIC has been unable to publish its
decision until now due to interim orders restricting publication
obtained by UGC and Mr. Hewish in the AAT but lifted by the AAT on
July 25, 2024.
Mr. Hewish's banning is now recorded on ASIC's banned and
disqualified register.
UGC was placed into voluntary administration on July 5, 2024. David
Stimpson and Hugh Armenis of SV Partners were appointed Voluntary
Administrators.
ASIC's investigation into the conduct of UGC, Mr. Hewish and
related entities is continuing. ASIC will provide updates on this
matter on its United Global Capital page.
UGC operated as an Australian financial services business based in
Melbourne which held AFS licence no. 496179 since August 18, 2017.
Mr Hewish became a director of UGC on November 8, 2011 and had been
the key person on the licence since August 18, 2017.
Mr Hewish was an authorised representative of UGC from August 21,
2017 to present.
Related property investment company, Global Capital Property Fund
Limited (GCPF) was an authorised representative of UGC from
March 25, 2020 to present.
ASIC made interim stop orders on July 5 and 21, 2022 preventing the
offer of shares to retail investors under GCPF's prospectus as well
as further interim stop orders on August 29 and September 13, 2022
preventing the issue of shares due to a deficient target market
determination.
Although UGC's licence is cancelled, ASIC has specified the licence
still has effect for limited purposes including that UGC continues
to be an AFCA member until May 2025, and it continues to have
insurance cover for clients.
On June 20, 2024 ASIC obtained interim orders from the Federal
Court freezing the assets of UGC and GCPF. The proceedings
regarding the interim orders have been adjourned to 9:30 a.m. on
August 6, 2024.
Clients of UGC should consider seeking independent advice (with no
connection to UGC) in relation to their own circumstances. Impacted
clients should also consider lodging a complaint with the
Australian Financial Complaints Authority if they are concerned
about advice provided to them by UGC.
ASIC has issued warnings to consumers to be wary of high pressure
sales tactics and online advertisements to lure consumers into
receiving inappropriate superannuation switching advice. It is an
ASIC cross-sector priority to deter cold calling superannuation
switching business models. This priority has the broader aim of
protecting consumers from cold calling practices that induce
inappropriate superannuation switching and result in the erosion of
members' superannuation balances.

CHINA: Liquidators Struggle to Recover Cash From Broke Builders
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that liquidators trying to recoup at least a
fraction of creditors' investments in defaulted Chinese builders
are running into dead-ends.
They have encountered a host of challenges, from trying to get paid
to scouring for financial documents and elusive executives,
according to people with knowledge of the matter, Bloomberg relays.
Creditors in three cases, including Sinic Holdings Group Co. and
Yango Justice International Ltd., haven't seen any significant
distribution, they said, declining to be identified discussing
private matters.
Bloomberg relates that Sinic's case stalled, for example, after
representatives from Kroll Ltd. didn't land funding for an
investigation to recover the financial books, the people said.
Since China's property crisis started, at least six developers with
combined assets of more than $300 billion have been ordered by Hong
Kong courts to liquidate.
According to Bloomberg, the struggles reflect the complexities of
winding up Chinese developers which have most of their assets in
the mainland, a credit risk highlighted when their high-yield
dollar bonds took off about two decades ago. While there's an
agreement between Hong Kong and Beijing to recognize insolvency
proceedings, it's limited to a few cities in China. These test
cases raise a thorny question for creditors on whether a winding-up
order is preferable to attempts to keep negotiating.
While liquidation anywhere in the world can be long-drawn out and
complicated, the scale of the tasks is unlike previous
restructurings in Hong Kong given the jurisdiction question and the
amount of assets involved, Bloomberg notes. Country Garden Holdings
Co. and seven other Chinese builders - with about $389 billion in
combined assets - are in the midst of legal battles with creditors
looking to wind them up, Bloomberg says. China Evergrande Group,
the poster child for the sector's difficulties, was ordered into
liquidation in January.
"We have never seen anything of this scale before, where a whole
sector has sunk," Bloomberg quotes Foreky Wong, founding partner at
Fortune Ark Restructuring Ltd., a Hong Kong-based restructuring
solution firm, as saying. "Liquidators who are seemingly powerful
could end up powerless."
Some offshore bonds of developers in liquidation, including Sinic
and Yango Justice, are indicated at below one cent on the dollar
recently, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. That's lower than
bonds of other defaulters, which have been trading between five to
10 cents.
Funding has been a problem, Bloomberg notes. In Hong Kong,
liquidators are paid from asset sales, and only turn to creditors
and other lenders when the money runs out, according to a note by
law firm Dentons Hong Kong LLP.
Unlike in the US, where debtors often file bankruptcy voluntarily
and are willing to fund it, Chinese builders listed in Hong Kong
have been dragged into liquidation. They have little incentives to
aid a process they had opposed from the start.
Representatives from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, who are Yango
Justice's liquidators, have been working on the case without
receiving payment from the debtor, according to people familiar
with the matter, Bloomberg relays. The team seized a small amount
of cash in the company's offshore account, but the funds were
barely sufficient to cover administrative fees, they said.
Earlier this month, Jiayuan International Group Ltd. said in a
filing that its liquidators didn't get a loan from an investor to
fund the case, . They're seeking other investors but acknowledged
that may be difficult. The case is also being handled by
representatives from Deloitte.
"If there are no resources and no one is interested in funding the
case, sometimes you have to close the case," said Wong, who isn't
involved in the cases mentioned in this story. "No one will throw
good money after bad," he said.
"While it's true that some creditors in liquidation cases like
Sinic, Yango, and Jiayuan have yet to see significant
distributions, it's important to note that the liquidation process
can vary considerably from case to case," Deloitte said in an email
in response to questions, Bloomberg relays. "The challenges
encountered by court-appointed liquidators can be highly dependent
on the specific circumstances and complexities involved."
Deloitte said its representatives were able to recover and
distribute a significant amount of funds in the liquidation of
Peking University Founder Group.
JINGBO TECHNOLOGY: Incurs $1.2 Million Net Loss in First Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jingbo Technology, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 22, 2024, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
disclosing a net loss of $1.20 million on $308,534 of net revenues
for the three months ended May 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of
$1.82 million on $460,165 of net revenues for the three months
ended May 31, 2023.
As of May 31, 2024, the Company had $12.63 million in total assets,
$32.41 million in total liabilities, and a total deficit of $19.78
million.
"These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation
as a going concern is dependent on long term loans related to
Shaoxing Keqiao Zhuyi Technology Co. and the director (Guowei
Zhang) to meet obligations as they become due and to obtain
additional equity or alternative financing required to fund
operations until sufficient sources of recurring revenues can be
generated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in its plans described above or in attracting equity or
alternative financing on acceptable terms, or if at all. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty."
A full-text copy of the Form 10-Q is available for free at:

ABRO CHIMIQUE: CARE Keeps D Debt Rating in Not Cooperating
----------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings said the rating for the bank facilities of Abro
Chimique Private Limited (ACPL) continues to remain in the 'Issuer
Not Cooperating' category.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 6.12 CARE D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING
Facilities Rating continues to remain
under ISSUER NOT COOPERATING
category
Rationale and key rating drivers
CARE Ratings Ltd. had, vide its press release dated May 31, 2023,
placed the rating(s) of ACPL under the 'issuer non-cooperating'
category as ACPL had failed to provide information for monitoring
of the rating. ACPL continues to be non-cooperative despite
repeated requests for submission of information through e-mails,
phone calls and a letter/email dated April 15, 2024, April 25,
2024, May 5, 2024.
In line with the extant SEBI guidelines, CARE Ratings Ltd. has
reviewed the rating on the basis of the best available information
which however, in CARE Ratings Ltd.'s opinion is not sufficient to
arrive at a fair rating.
Users of this rating (including investors, lenders and the public
at large) are hence requested to exercise caution while using the
above rating(s).
Abro Chimique Private Limited (ACPL) was incorporated in July, 1995

ATS INFRABUILD: CARE Keeps D Debt Rating in Not Cooperating
-----------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings said the ratings for the bank facilities of ATS
Infrabuild Private Limited (AIPL) continue to remain in the 'Issuer
Not Cooperating' category.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Non Convertible 135.00 CARE D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING;
Debentures Rating continues to remain
under ISSUER NOT COOPERATING
category
Rationale and key rating drivers
CARE Ratings Ltd. has been seeking information from AIPL to monitor
the ratings vide various email communications dated July 15, 2024,
June 26, 2024, June 20, 2024, June 19, 2024 and numerous phone
calls. However, despite repeated requests, the company has not
provided the requisite information for monitoring the ratings.
In line with the extant SEBI guidelines, CARE has reviewed the
rating on the basis of the best available information which
however, in CARE's opinion is not sufficient to arrive at a fair
rating.
Users of this rating (including investors, lenders and the public
at large) are hence requested to exercise caution while using the
above rating).
The rating has been reaffirmed on account of non-availability of
requisite information due to non-cooperation by ATS Infrabuild
Private Limited with CARE Ratings Ltd.'s efforts to undertake a
review of the rating outstanding. CARE Ratings Ltd. views
information availability risk as a key factor in its assessment of
credit risk. The reaffirmed in ratings assigned to the instrument
of AIPL factors in non-payment of NCDs principal and redemption
premium due on June 11, 2022 to the investors who have not given
their positive consent for the roll-over by period of two year to
June 11, 2024.
Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions
Positive factors
* Improvement in liquidity position with timely repayment of debt
obligations.
Analytical approach: Standalone
Outlook: Not Applicable
Detailed description of the key rating drivers:
Key weaknesses
* Delay in servicing of debt obligations: There were delays in
repayment of NCD's principal amount and redemption premium due on
June 11, 2022 to the investor who have not given their positive
consent for the roll-over of the NCD for period of two years to Jun
11, 2024. AIPL has applied for extension of final maturity date of
NCDs from June 11, 2022 to June 11, 2024. Further, company has
received consent on June 09, 2022 for extension from 76.67% of the
investors but remaining investors didn't given their positive
consent for the roll-over and redemption of NCDs.
* Subdued industry scenario: The company is exposed to the
cyclicality associated with the real estate sector which has direct
linkage with the general macroeconomic scenario, interest rates and
level of disposable income available with individuals. In case of
real estate companies, the profitability is highly dependent on
property markets. A high interest rate scenario could further
discourage the consumers from borrowing to finance the real estate
purchases and may depress the real estate market.
Liquidity: Poor
The liquidity profile of ATS Infrabuild Private Limited remains
weak as reflected by slow customer collection and sales momentum.
Due to mismatch between project receipts vis a vis the debt
repayment obligations the liquidity of ATS infrabuild Private
Limited remains constrained.
ATS Infrabuild Pvt Ltd (AIPL), incorporated on October 4, 2007, is
engaged in development of Real Estate Projects. AIPL is a part of
ATS Group (ATS), which has a long-standing presence in real estate
industry primarily in north India. The promoter of the group, Mr.
Getamber Anand, has more than two decades of experience in the real

developing 22 residential projects across North India (mainly Delhi
NCR) having total saleable area of approximately 361 lsf. AIPL is
currently developing a premium residential group housing project,

Phase 1 is fully approved and is under construction, Phase 2 is at

BYJU'S: Former Director Fined US$10,000 a Day Over Missing US$533M
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that a suspended director of the troubled
Indian educational tech firm Byju's must pay $10,000 a day until he
helps locate $533 million that his company is accused of hiding
from US lenders, a judge said July 31.
Bloomberg relates that Riju Ravindran, brother of Byju's founder,
has been at the center of a nearly two-year-old fight over the
missing cash, which lenders said should be returned to them after
the company defaulted. Ravindran is one of three directors of Think
& Learn Pvt. - which operates the Byju's brand - who were recently
replaced by a trustee as part of an involuntary bankruptcy case
filed in India, according to US court documents.
After imposing the sanctions on Ravindran, US Bankruptcy Judge
Brendan Shannon also rejected a request to put the US debt fight on
hold so Ravindran and the company could find new lawyers, Bloomberg
says. American lawyers for Ravindran and Byju's units want to quit
defending their clients in the bankruptcy dispute, blaming "an
irreparable breakdown."
Instead, Shannon ruled that Ravindran's lawyers must continue to
represent their clients until at least a hearing next month, when
all sides return to US Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware,
where much of the conflict has been playing out, according to
Bloomberg.
Bloomberg notes that the moves are the latest twists to an usual
saga involving a company that was once a symbol of India's rising
technology sector. Within 18 months of borrowing $1.2 billion from
US lenders in 2022, Byju's missed key financial reporting
deadlines, had their offices raided by Indian regulators and was
accused by American lenders of defaulting.
Since then, the company has been accused of fraudulently
transferring $533 million away from a shell company set up in the
US that was responsible for paying the debt. Byju's has defended
its actions by claiming it has been targeted by predatory lenders.
The missing money is at the heart of a dispute between lenders owed
$1.2 billion and the startup founded by entrepreneur Byju
Raveendran, Bloomberg states.
The missing cash belongs to a bankrupt shell company, Byju's Alpha
Inc., which is affiliated with Think & Learn and was taken over by
the lenders after their loan defaulted, the report adds.
About Byju's
Based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Byju's operates an online
learning platform intended to deliver engaging and accessible
education. The company's platform makes use of original content,
watch-and-learn videos, animations, and interactive simulations
that make learning contextual, visual, and practical, enabling
students to receive a personalized educational experience.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in
mid-July 2024, Byju's will face insolvency proceedings for failure
to pay $19 million in dues to the country's cricket board. Reuters
said Byju's has suffered numerous setbacks in recent years,
including boardroom exits and a tussle with investors who accused
CEO Byju Raveendran of corporate governance lapses, job cuts and a
collapse in its valuation to less than $3 billion. Byju's has
denied any wrongdoing.
According to Reuters, a ruling by India's companies tribunal on
July 16, following a complaint by the Board of Control for Cricket
in India (BCCI), initiated insolvency proceedings. These will
include the appointment of an interim resolution professional,
Pankaj Srivastava, who will oversee the management of Byju's as
the
company's board of directors is suspended as per law. CEO
Raveendran will report to the resolution professional and the
company's assets will remain frozen while the proceedings
continue.
The TCR-AP, citing Moneycontrol, reported on Jan. 26, 2024, that
foreign lenders, who collectively extended more than 85% of Byju's
$1.2 billion term loan, have filed an insolvency petition against
the online tutor in India. Moneycontrol related that the bankruptcy
petition was filed in January 2024 in the Bengaluru bench of the
National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), the people said, requesting
anonymity.
BYJU's Alpha, Inc., a U.S. unit of Byju's, sought protection under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No.
24-10140) on Feb. 1, 2024. In the petition signed by Timothy R.
Pohl, chief executive officer, the Debtor disclosed up to $1
billion in assets and up to $10 billion in liabilities.

MAGIC MICRO: Monsoon Bid to Confirm Arbitration Award Stayed
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Jessica G.L. Clarke of the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York denied without prejudice Monsoon
Blockchain Storage, Inc.'s petition to confirm an arbitration award
in its breach of contract dispute with Magic Micro Co., LTD. and
the action is stayed.
On April 14, 2021, New York-based arbitrator Stephanie Cohen issued
an arbitration award in favor of Monsoon with respect to the
parties' underlying breach of contract dispute. The underlying
dispute concerned an alleged breach of a contractual agreement by
Magic Micro to purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock in
Monsoon.
The Award found that:
(i) there was an operative and enforceable contract between
the parties,
(ii) Monsoon performed its required contractual obligations,
(iii) Magic Micro failed to perform under the contract, and
(iv) Magic Micro's performance was not excused.
The Arbitrator awarded Monsoon $27,000,000 in damages, plus
post-award interest accruing from March 15, 2019 at a compounding
rate of 1% per month, $149,193.82 in legal fees and transcription
costs, and $143,640.00, representing the portion of the tribunal
and Arbitrator's fees incurred by Monsoon. The three-month time
limit pursuant to 9 U.S.C. Sec. 12 for a notice of a motion to
vacate, modify, or correct the Award expired on August 14, 2021
without any such motion being made. According to Monsoon, Magic
Micro has not fulfilled its obligations under the Award.
In September 2021, Magic Micro filed an application for
commencement of rehabilitation proceedings in the Republic of Korea
the under the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act in the Suwon
District Court, 1st Bankruptcy Division.
On September 27, 2021, the SRC issued an order directing the debtor
to refrain from (1) "settling or providing security for any
monetary debt arising before September 27, 2021," (2)
"[t]ransferring ownership of all properties belonging to the debtor
subject to registration or recording, such as real estate,
automobiles, construction machinery, patents, and any other
property valued at 10 million [South Korean] won or more, and any
other disposition of rights, liens, or leases . . . ," (3)
borrowing funds, and (4) hiring employees. On the same date, the
SRC also issued a "comprehensive injunction against the debtor"
stating that "[a]ll rehabilitation creditors and rehabilitation
secured creditors shall not go through procedures for compulsory
execution, provisional seizure, provisional disposition or action
for the execution of security rights based on their rehabilitation
claims or rehabilitation security rights until a decision is made
on the application for initiation of rehabilitation procedures in
relation to this case."
On April 14, 2022, Monsoon filed the Petition to confirm the Award.
Pursuant to the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial
and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, Monsoon
initiated service of process through the Korean Central Authority.
On July 8, 2022, Monsoon also sought recognition of the Award in
the Netherlands.
On August 18, 2022, the SRC issued an order commencing the
rehabilitation procedures for Magic Micro.
On September 15, 2022, Monsoon filed a declaration of claim in the
SRC action seeking a total of $39,348,047.36 covering the
principal, interest, legal fees, and other expenses to which
Monsoon claims to be entitled in connection with the Arbitration
Award.
On June 7, 2023, the SRC granted Magic Micro's application to
cancel the SPA -- the basis for the Arbitration Award -- between
Magic Micro and Monsoon on the basis that cancellation was in the
best interest of Magic Micro and its creditors.
On July 4, 2023, the Dutch court recognized the Award as an
enforceable judgment.
On August 24, 2023, Magic Micro appeared in the instant action,
opposed the Petition, and sought dismissal or stay of this action.
The Court rejects Magic Micro's challenge to the Court's
jurisdiction, finding that Respondent was properly served with the
Petition. Turning to the merits, the Court finds that principles
of international comity -- in particular the ROK's interest in the
equitable and orderly administration of the bankruptcy of a
publicly traded Korean company -- warrant declining based on comity
to adjudicate the Petition at this juncture.
Magic Micro asks this Court to dismiss or stay this action based on
international comity. The Court finds, in the exercise of its
discretion, that a stay of this action pending the SRC Action is
appropriate. The Court reaches this conclusion based on the
deference due to the foreign bankruptcy proceeding and because
general factors that courts should consider when determining
whether to defer to a foreign proceeding weigh in favor of a stay.
According to the Court, the pendency of the bankruptcy proceedings
in the ROK militates in favor of a stay of these proceedings. At
this stage, the ROK's interest in the orderly administration of
Magic Micro's assets favors extending comity to the Korean
bankruptcy proceeding, and, based on the present record, the SRC
proceedings appear to be procedurally fair and not in conflict with
the laws or public policy of the United States.
A copy of the Court's decision dated July 19, 2024, is available at

FNS HOLDING: Fitch Lowers National Rating to 'CCC-(tha)'
--------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the National Long-Term Rating of FNS
Holdings Public Company Limited to 'CCC-(tha)' from 'B-(tha)'.
Fitch has also downgraded its National Short-Term Rating to
'C(tha)' from 'B(tha)'. The ratings have been removed from Rating
Watch Negative (RWN).
The downgrade to 'CCC-(tha)' reflects FNS's heightened near-term
refinancing risk and weak financial flexibility in repaying its
subsidiary's debentures maturing in September and October 2024. The
delay in asset sales has increased FNS's refinancing risk. Fitch
therefore expects the company to rely on other funding sources,
which it has been exploring but has not yet secured, to support the
near-term maturities.
Refinancing risk is also exacerbated by its forecast of weak EBITDA
interest coverage of below 1.0x over the next two years. This may
limit the company's ability to access arms-length financing at
market rates. Fitch believes the company's capital structure is
unsustainable and continued negative free cash flow (FCF) will add
pressure on the company's liquidity.
Key Rating Drivers
Constrained Liquidity: Fitch believes FNS faces considerable
near-term liquidity risk on the repayment of the debentures of its
subsidiary, M.K. Real Estate Development Public Company Limited
(MK), amounting to THB500 million in September 2024 and THB600
million in October 2024. This, coupled with the negative FCF, will
exert pressure on its near-term liquidity.
Limited Refinancing Options: Fitch believes FNS has limited
refinancing options after it failed to carry out its asset sale
plan within the originally intended timeframe. Fitch believes the
company may seek a combination of funding sources, including
recovering receivables from pre-sold condominiums, using existing
collateral for additional bank financing and issuing new
debentures. The success of securing new funding will largely hinge
on FNS's credibility and favourable market conditions. An inability
to execute these transactions in a timely manner could raise
default risk.
Asset Sales Delay to 2025: FNS plans to sell investment properties
held at MK to its associate, Prospect Logistics and Industrial REIT
(Prospect REIT), as a longer-term solution. FNS will use the
proceeds to meet MK's debenture obligations of THB523 million due
February 2025 and THB1,189 million due March 2025. The asset sale
is subject to approval by the REIT's unit holders and a capital
increase, both of which are subject to market conditions and have
significant execution risks. The execution risks are heightened by
the previous delay in asset sales due to unfavourable market
conditions.
Wellness Business Limits FNS Support: Fitch believes FNS's wellness
business will continue to have negative FCF over the next 12-18
months, limiting FNS's ability to provide financial support to MK.
FNS sold its stake in Neo Corporate Public Company Limited (NEO)
and received proceeds of THB370 million in April 2024 following
NEO's IPO on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Fitch expects FNS to
sell its remaining NEO shares in October 2025. The proceeds will
mainly be used to service FNS's debt and support its wellness
business, which still has negative FCF.
Unsustainable Capital Structure: FNS has high leverage, which
exceeds the company's cash generation ability. Meaningful
deleveraging is contingent on the asset sale. Net debt could fall
in 2025 if the asset sale to Prospect REIT succeeds. However,
consolidated EBITDA net leverage would remain elevated over the
medium term.
Subsidiary's Contagion Risk: Fitch believes MK is important to
FNS's strategy to expand its industrial property development
business in the medium term. The two companies have separate
financial arrangements, but Fitch believes the risk of financial
contagion is high after FNS's increased ownership of the
subsidiary, as lenders may consider the group as a single entity.
FNS is also somewhat reliant on MK's dividends and asset sales to
sustain its cash flow at the holding-company level.
Doubts Over Going-Concern Capability: FNS's independent auditor has
given an unmodified audit opinion with an emphasis of matter on
material uncertainty related to FNS as a going-concern in its audit
report on the company's financial statements for 2023. The
company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by THB1.6
billion. This may cast significant doubt on the company's ability
to continue as a going-concern.
Derivation Summary
FNS's rating is significantly lower than that of rated peers in
Thailand and is driven by weak liquidity and high refinancing
risk.
Key Assumptions
Fitch's Key Assumptions Within Its Rating Case for the Issuer:
- FNS, via MK, to move away from residential property development
and sell its remaining housing units by 2027;
- Consolidated FCF to remain at negative THB1.1 billion in 2024 and
negative THB0.5 billion in 2025;
- Total capex of THB1.0 billion in 2024, mainly to complete
warehouses for a rental project under construction, funded by a
committed credit facility.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade:
- Timely resolution of impending capital-market debt maturities;
- Timely execution of asset sales that meaningfully improve
liquidity.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade:
- Inability to address imminent capital-market debt maturities;
- Default of some kind appears probable.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Weak Liquidity: FNS lacks sufficient cash on hand and committed
credit lines to meet debt of more than THB2.8 billion in debentures
due in the 12 months from end-March 2024. All current maturities
are at MK. Repayment is reliant on an asset sale, recovery of
receivables, additional bank financing and issuance of new
debentures. These measures are subject to market conditions and
carry a high execution risk.
Issuer Profile
FNS is a holding company with investments in several businesses.
Its largest investment is its 49.5% stake in MK. Its other
investments involve household and personal care products, a bakery
chain and small start-up businesses. MK is a leading developer of
industrial warehouses and factories for rent in Thailand's free
trade zone and is likely to be FNS's key growth focus over the
medium term.
