------------------------------------------------------
A first meeting of the creditors in the proceedings of Liagana Pty
Ltd will be held on Sept. 12, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. at the offices of
Clifton Hall at Level 3, 431 King William Street in Adelaide.

LION TRUST 2022-1: S&P Affirms BB+ Rating on Class E Notes
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its rating on the class E notes issued by
Perpetual Trustee Co. Ltd. as trustee for Conquest 2022-1 Trust. At
the same time, S&P affirmed its ratings on 155 classes of
Australian prime residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS)
transactions, sponsored by eight Australian banks. Additionally, we
removed 93 of the ratings from under criteria observation (UCO;).
The rating actions follow S&P's review of these prime RMBS
transactions when applying its updated methodology and assumptions
for assessing pools of Australian residential loans.
The transactions have adequate credit support and cash flows at the
respective rating levels, after applying the updated criteria,
which include a revised method of assessing loan-to-value, the
application of changing house price values in determining default
frequency and loss severity, and an estimate of house price
overvaluation (OUV) of 22%. The OUV measure is intended to reflect
how much a market is above or below a longer-term measure of price
to income.
Some ratings are constrained below the level that cash flows alone
support due to other risk considerations such as sensitivities to
the outlook for yield, arrears, pool concentrations, and absolute
size of credit support.

OSTRAVA EQUITIES: Grimm Sentenced to Jail for Dishonest Conduct
---------------------------------------------------------------
Former Melbourne financial planner Bradley Grimm has been convicted
by the County Court of Victoria of three counts of engaging in
dishonest conduct while running a financial services business.
Mr. Grimm was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, with nine
months to serve, and to be of good behaviour for a period of 18
months upon release pursuant to a recognisance in the amount of
AUD5,000.
Mr. Grimm engaged in dishonest conduct on five occasions between
February 18, 2015 and March 12, 2015, when he transferred funds
between two of his clients' self-managed superannuation funds
(SMSFs) to three separate companies of which he was the sole
director.
Mr. Grimm has admitted each of the companies: Thrive Lending Pty
Ltd, Trade BTC Pty Ltd, and Beta Pharmacology Pty Ltd, had little
market value.
On a further seven occasions between November 5, 2015 and November
11, 2015, Mr. Grimm dishonestly transferred shares and convertible
notes owned by his clients' SMSF to Equity Capital Partners Hedge
Fund Pty Ltd, without adequately advising his client that it was a
company of which he was the sole director, and in which he had a
personal interest.
Mr. Grimm also failed to advise his client that ASIC had sought the
winding up of entities related to him, including Ostrava Equities
Pty Ltd, and that he was banned from providing financial services
by order of the Federal Court.
In sentencing Justice O'Connell remarked that Mr. Grimm was "well
aware of his obligations" and that he "abused the position of trust
that a licensed financial adviser holds". His Honour found that Mr
Grimm's "moral culpability was high".
In imposing the sentence, Justice O'Connell took into account Mr.
Grimm's guilty plea.
Mr. Grimm and his company Ostrava Equities Pty Ltd were authorised
representatives of former Australian financial services licensee
Marigold Falconer International Limited.
Mr. Grimm first appeared before the court on November 29, 2018 and
entered a plea of guilty on January 20, 2023.
Mr. Grimm's charges followed ASIC's successful action in the
Federal Court for the winding up of Ostrava Equities Pty Ltd,
Ostrava Asset Management Pty Ltd, Ostrava Securities Pty Ltd,
Ostrava Wealth Management Pty Ltd, Beta Pharmacology Pty Ltd,
Prometheus Capital Pty Ltd, Thrive Lending Pty Ltd, Trade BTC Pty
Ltd and Equity Capital Partners Hedge Fund Pty Ltd.

CHINA EVERGRANDE: Creditor Files for Liquidation of NEV's Unit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that a creditor filed a petition for the bankruptcy
of a unit of China Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group, a
subsidiary of China Evergrande Group, in a Shanghai court, the
third such petition against the embattled car company.
A new bankruptcy proceeding could add pressure on the liquidators
of China Evergrande Group, the world's most indebted property
developer, to recover debt for creditors and a potential investor
in the electric vehicle company, Reuters says.
Zhejiang Chint Electrics filed a bankruptcy and liquidation
petition against manufacturing unit Evergrande Hengchi New Energy
Vehicle (Shanghai) Co in relation to an overdue and unpaid debt,
according to a filing dated Sept. 4 by the No.3 Intermediate
People's Court of Shanghai, Reuters relays.
According to Reuters, the court said it will hold a hearing on
Sept. 18 to decide to accept the petition or not to start a
bankruptcy proceeding.
Last month, a Guangzhou court ordered two other units - Evergrande
New Energy Vehicle (Guangdong) and Evergrande Smart Automotive
(Guangdong) - to enter into bankruptcy and reorganisation
proceedings, a move that the EV parent warned would have "a
material impact" on its production and operating activities,
Reuters recalls.
Evergrande NEV last week announced a net loss of CNY20.3 billion
(US$2.9 billion) in the first half, widening from a CNY6.9 billion
net loss a year ago, Reuters discloses.
Its total liabilities rose 2.5% from end-December to CNY74.4
billion, while total assets decreased 53% to CNY16.4 billion and
total cash plunged 69% to CNY39 million.
Reuters adds that the company's auditor said the material
uncertainties from the financial results may have significant
impact on the group's ability to continue as a going concern.

CHINA VANKE: Debt Cracks Exposed After First Loss in 20 Years
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that China Vanke Co. faces mounting concerns
about its ability to repay debt after posting the first loss in two
decades.
Vanke had a short-term refinancing gap of about CNY12 billion
(US$1.69 billion) at the end of June due to a spike in long-term
debt within a year, according to Bloomberg calculations based on
company data. That's the first time Vanke's cash balance has failed
to cover interest-bearing debt maturing in less than a year since
at least 2014.
As a bellwether for China's real estate crisis, Vanke's debt
troubles underscore how even the highest quality developers have
been ensnared by the unprecedented property downturn, Bloomberg
notes. While it's managed to avoid a default so far, Vanke's
connections with the nation's financial and government-backed
entities means its distress could eclipse the turmoil wreaked by
defaults at rivals China Evergrande Group and Country Garden
Holdings Co.
Vanke's Hong Kong-traded shares closed 5.8% lower on Sept. 2 in its
biggest decline in about six weeks, while its Shenzhen-traded
shares plunged the most in more than three months. Its 3.15% 2025
due dollar notes were indicated 1.7 cents lower at 83.3 cents as of
16:40, according to Bloomberg-compiled data.
According to Bloomberg, China's housing rescue package in May is
losing steam as home sales slump deepened in August and prices are
expected to plummet further. Concerns intensified in recent weeks
after a string of disappointing earnings reports from consumer
companies and a cut to China's growth forecast by UBS Group AG. The
downgrade reflects an emerging consensus that the country may miss
its growth target of around 5% in 2024.
Vanke, whose major shareholder is a state-owned firm in Shenzhen,
is one of the few distressed developers that have yet to default
amid the downturn. Country Garden and Shimao Group Holdings Ltd.
face winding-up hearings in Hong Kong courts, while former giant
Evergrande has been ordered to liquidate.
Bloomberg says Vanke's earnings report on Aug. 30 showed how much
the extended housing slump is taking its toll on China's
fourth-biggest developer by sales. The company posted a net loss of
CNY9.85 billion for the six months ended June 30, its first
semi-annual loss since at least 2003, Bloomberg discloses. That's
higher than the upper range flagged by the firm in July, and
compares with an annual profit of CNY12.2 billion last year.
Vanke's loss signals its finances took a sharp hit in the second
quarter, considering it lost just 362 million yuan in the first
three months, Bloomberg relates. The slowdown in China's market has
deepened since then, as sales and prices continue to fall. Local
governments are dialing back intervention over pricing of new
residential projects, driving developers to offer deep discounts to
lure buyers.
Bond investors are betting Vanke isn't at immediate risk of
default, though its longer-term outlook is less certain, Bloomberg
says. Moody's Ratings, which had Vanke at investment grade as
recently as March, downgraded the developer to B1 last month, four
notches into junk territory.
Vanke faces a CNY14 billion funding gap if leases payable are
included, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Daniel Fan
and Hui Yen Tay. That hole could be plugged by access to financing,
they said, adding that the company can dispose more assets and
raise secured debt.
For the remainder of this year, Vanke has only CNY2 billion worth
of public debt that matures, Chief Executive Officer Zhu Jiusheng
said Aug. 30. The firm has notified some investors that it has
enough cash to repay a yuan bond due Sept. 6, according to a
Bloomberg report last week. Vanke doesn't have dollar bonds due
this year and has a combined CNY128.5 billion of public bonds and
loans outstanding, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
About China Vanke
China Vanke Co., Ltd. operates real estate development businesses.
The Company provides housing renovation, housing loans, real estate
brokerage, and other businesses. China Vanke also operates
logistics, material supply, and other businesses.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in
mid-August, Moody's Ratings has downgraded the following ratings of
China Vanke Co., Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vanke Real
Estate (Hong Kong) Company Limited.
1. China Vanke's corporate family rating (CFR) to B1 from Ba3;
2. Backed senior unsecured rating on the medium-term note (MTN)
program of Vanke Real Estate to (P)B2 from (P)B1; and
3. Backed senior unsecured rating on the bonds issued by Vanke
Real Estate to B2 from B1.
The MTN program and senior unsecured bonds are supported by a deed
of equity interest purchase undertaking and a keepwell deed between
China Vanke, Vanke Real Estate and the bond trustee.
Moody's have also maintained the negative outlooks of the entities.
The TCR-AP reported in mid-June 2024, that S&P Global Ratings
affirmed its 'BB+' long-term issuer credit rating on China Vanke
Co. Ltd. and its 'BB' long-term issuer credit rating on subsidiary
Vanke Real Estate (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd. (Vanke HK). At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'BB' long-term issue ratings on Vanke HK's
senior unsecured notes.
The negative outlook on China Vanke reflects S&P's expectation that
the company's contracted sales could decline further over the next
12 months and its financial position could weaken if it fails to
execute asset disposals amid China's prolonged property downturn.
The TCR-AP also reported in late May 2024, Fitch Ratings has
downgraded China Vanke Co., Ltd.'s Long-Term Foreign- and
Local-Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) to 'BB-', from 'BB+'.
The Outlook is Negative. Fitch also downgraded the Long-Term IDR on
China Vanke's wholly owned subsidiary, Vanke Real Estate (Hong
Kong) Company Ltd (Vanke HK), to 'B+', from 'BB', and downgraded
Vanke HK's senior unsecured rating and the rating on the
outstanding senior notes to 'B+' with a Recovery Rating of RR4,
from 'BB'. The ratings have been removed from Rating Watch
Negative.
COUNTRY GARDEN: Removes PwC as Auditor
--------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Country Garden Holdings said on Sept. 5 that
PwC has agreed to resign as its auditor, as the property developer
became the latest Chinese company to sever ties with the firm.
Reuters relates that Country Garden said in an exchange filing that
it had appointed Hong Kong-based Zhonghui Anda CPA as its new
auditor, at least until the conclusion of its next annual general
meeting.
PwC has been in focus over its role in auditing China Evergrande
Group which was accused of a $78 billion fraud, triggering a client
exodus, cost cuts and layoffs.
PwC told Reuters that it was not in a position to comment on client
related matters when asked about Country Garden.
More than 50 Chinese firms, including PwC's largest mainland client
Bank of China and many state-owned enterprises or financial
institutions, have either dropped PwC as their auditor or cancelled
their plans to hire it, Reuters relates.
According to Reuters, Country Garden said the change of auditor was
because PwC was unable to fulfil the timetable to publish its
audited 2023 financial statements "considering recent relevant
matters related to the company's auditor and market information".
Once a top developer by sales, Country Garden is undergoing an
offshore debt restructuring after defaulting on its $11 billion
offshore bonds last year, Reuters notes. Its shares have been
suspended from trading since April 2 pending the release of its
2023 full year and 2024 interim financial results.
"The group is actively pushing forward the holistic restructuring
and working towards the resumption of trading in the shares . . .,
and it is particularly important and critical to complete the audit
of the consolidated financial statements . . . as soon as
practicable," it added.
About Country Garden Holdings
Country Garden Holdings Company Limited (HKEX:2007), an investment
holding company, invests, develops, and constructs real estate
properties primarily in Mainland China. The company operates in two
segments, Property Development and Construction. It develops
residential projects, such as townhouses and condominiums; and car
parks and retail shops. The company also develops, operates, and
manages hotels. In addition, it researches and develops robots;
sells electronic hardware and food; and provides interior
decoration, agriculture, landscape design, investment and
management consulting, cultural activity planning, and real estate
consulting services.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in late
February 2024, Kingboard Holdings-backed money lender Ever Credit
on Feb. 27, 2024, filed a winding-up petition against Country
Garden to the Hong Kong High Court for non-payment of a US$205
million loan.
The TCR-AP reported in late March 2024 that Country Garden has
hired Kroll to carry out a liquidation analysis. Kroll, the New
York-headquartered financial advisory firm, is expected to conduct
an independent business review of Country Garden before projecting
a recovery rate for the developer's creditors under a liquidation
scenario, according to Reuters.
The developer defaulted on US$11 billion of offshore bonds last
year and is in the process of an offshore debt restructuring.
COUNTRY GARDEN: Seeks Fresh Onshore Debt Overhaul as Sales Slump
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that Country Garden Holdings Co. is
considering a fresh holistic restructuring plan for yuan bonds
after the Chinese developer struggled to raise cash for delayed
debt repayments.
"The company seeks to negotiate a new debt management plan with
bondholders to better align with the latest situation in the
property market and corporate funding," Country Garden told
Bloomberg News on Sept. 5. The firm has yet to secure enough cash
to repay its onshore bond principal and interest and needs to seek
debt extensions, it added.
Bloomberg relates that the distressed real estate company pointed
to waning homebuyer demand and a deteriorating market outlook,
which led to a 78% plunge in its contracted sales in the first
eight months. Fund allocation restrictions also made it unable to
collect enough money for payments due, the company added.
Country Garden, once China's biggest developer by sales, has seen a
sharper slowdown than its peers due to its focus on projects in
smaller cities. It defaulted on dollar notes in October and has
been pushing back onshore bond payment dates, Bloomberg notes.
As the impact of China's latest housing rescue package wanes,
new-home sales in so-called tier-3 cities have shrunk faster,
Bloomberg relates citing a note by researcher China Index Holdings.
Country Garden's year-to-date sales decline is more than double the
36.5% slide at the 100 biggest real estate companies tracked by
China Real Estate Information Corp.
Country Garden's main onshore unit proposes to push back payments
due on nine yuan bonds by six months, according to people familiar
with the matter, Bloomberg relays. The bonds include some with
payments due this month and at least one with a November deadline.
They include a third extension for payments of three notes that
were first delayed in September last year. These are a 4.8% note, a
6.3% note and another 4.8% bond. Bloomberg reported the latest
extension talks last week.
Bondholders will vote on the plan to delay payment on six of the
bonds between Sept. 9 and Sept. 13, according to filings on the
Shanghai Stock Exchange private bond disclosure platform seen by
Bloomberg.
Bloomberg says the potential payment delays would be a fresh
setback for onshore bondholders, who are waiting to recoup part of
their losses. It also underscores the liquidity stress that some of
China's biggest builders still face as the nation's property crisis
drags into its fourth year.
Offshore, Country Garden got a six-month respite for separate
restructuring talks in July when liquidation hearing in Hong Kong
was adjourned until late January, Bloomberg notes. The company said
at the time that it expected key creditor groups to agree on a debt
term sheet by the end of September.

AITHANOLI CIBUS: ICRA Assigns B+ Rating to INR105cr Loans
---------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned rating to the bank facilities of Aithanoli Cibus
Products Private Limited (ACPPL), as:
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long term– 101.21 [ICRA]B+ (Stable); assigned
Fund-based-
Proposed
term loan
Long term-
Unallocated 3.79 [ICRA]B+ (Stable); assigned
Rationale
The assigned rating for ACPPL favorably factors in the healthy
demand for ethanol in the country and the presence of an offtake
contract with public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs), aiding
revenue visibility for the company over the medium term. The
contract with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Indian
Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation
Limited (HPCL) ensures an annual offtake quantity of 0.99 crore
litres of ethanol (i.e. 30% of installed capacity) for a period of
10 years. The balance quantity is expected to be supplied to the
OMCs on an open tender basis. The project also enjoys the
locational advantage of being close to ample raw material sources,
along with its ability to reach out to various oil blending depots
in the nearby areas.
However, the rating remains constrained by significant
project-related risks, including any delay in achieving financial
closure because of the sizeable dependence on borrowings. The
project may also be affected by delays in commissioning the project
within the budgeted cost and time, stabilising the plant and
achieving the desired process parameters and cost efficiencies.
Further, it is yet to receive some approvals from government
authorities, which may pose a hurdle to the timely commencement of
operations.
ACPPL will also remain exposed to regulatory risks associated with
the ethanol business, given that its price is fixed annually by the
OMCs even as the prices of raw material and fuel change in line
with the market demand and supply position. The company's
profitability remains vulnerable to fluctuations in the prices of
broken rice and maize, which have been quite volatile in the recent
past and, thus, will remain a key monitorable for its healthy
operations, post commissioning.
The Stable outlook on the [ICRA]B+ rating reflects ICRA's
expectation of stable revenues for the company and a healthy demand
outlook for ethanol in the long term along with the management's
ability to ensure adequate raw material availability because of its
advantageous location.
Key rating drivers and their description
Credit strengths
* Offtake agreement with OMCs with minimum guaranteed volume
provides stability to revenues: The company has entered into a
long-term offtake agreement with OMCs for a period of 10 years for
the supply of 0.99 crore litres of ethanol (30% of installed
capacity) produced by it, annually. The balance quantity is
expected to be procured by the OMCs through open tenders floated
quarterly. Thus, the offtake agreement for 30% of the installed
capacity provides revenue visibility after the commencement of
operations.
* Healthy demand potential for ethanol, Government incentives to
support demand: The long-term demand outlook for ethanol and
biofuel remains favourable on the back of a significant
demand-supply gap along with the Government's increasing focus on
reducing crude oil import dependence. Further, the demand for
ethanol is likely to continue, given the Central Government's aim
to achieve 20 per cent ethanol blending target by 2025. The
Government of India (GoI) has been supporting the industry through
various measures, such as interest-subvention loans for ethanol
capacity creation and expansion and remunerative prices, resulting
in an improved domestic demand-supply balance. Favourable pricing,
coupled with a relatively short credit period for ethanol supplies,
has supported the profits and cash accruals of various
distilleries.
Credit challenges
* Inherent project risks exist; company yet to receive some
requisite approvals: The capital outlay of the project is estimated
at INR144.59 crore, which would be largely funded by a term loan of
INR101.21 crore (~70% of the total project cost) and the balance
through promoter contribution. As of Mid-July 2024, around INR17.23
crore (12% of the total project cost) has been incurred to acquire
the land, start the civil work and provide advances to the
suppliers of plant and machinery, funded by promoters. The company
is yet to achieve financial closure along with some requisite
government approvals. The project plan envisages commencement of
the commercial operations from April 2025. Thus, the commissioning
of the project within the scheduled timeframe and budgeted cost
along with the stabilisation of operations remains important.
* Significant dependence on debt; financial closure for project yet
to be achieved: The project will be funded by a term loan of
INR101.21 crore, keeping the dependence on borrowings very high.
ICRA notes that as on date, the financial closure for the project
is yet to be achieved. The company's ability to achieve healthy
capacity utilisation and generate steady cash accruals will be
important for a timely debt servicing.
* Susceptibility of profitability to volatility in raw material
costs: The primary raw materials used by ACPPL are broken rice and
maize, which are agro-commodities. The prices of broken rice and
maize are prone to significant fluctuations and have been quite
volatile in the recent past, as their availability depends on the
monsoon. Nevertheless, majority of the raw materials will be
supplied by promoter entities, thereby reducing the impact of price
fluctuations to a considerable extent.
* Risks of operating in a regulated industry: ACPPL's operations
are vulnerable to the Government's policies and schemes, such as
interest subvention, ethanol pricing and offtake, raw material
availability and pricing, etc. Hence, the cessation of any scheme
or any material decrease in ethanol pricing would have an adverse
impact on the company's financials. Nonetheless, the Central
Government's preponement of the ethanol blending target to 2025 has
created a strong demand for ethanol and, thus, supports the
financial performance of the distillery units for manufacturing
ethanol.
Liquidity position: Stretched
The liquidity profile of the company is likely to remain stretched
as a large part of the project cost will be funded through debt,
resulting in significant cash outflow on account of the debt
repayment obligations after the commissioning of the plant.
Further, any delay in achieving financial closure might slow down
the project's commissioning, adversely impacting the business risk
profile of the firm.
Rating sensitivities
Positive factors – A timely commencement of operation within the
budgeted cost and stabilisation of the operations could lead to an
upgrade.
Negative factors – Pressure on the rating could arise on account
of delay in the commencement of operations or cost overruns or
stabilisation of the unit's operation.
Aithanoli Cibus Private Limited is a private limited company,
incorporated on December 23, 2021, for manufacturing and selling
ethanol and related by-products. The company is setting up a
100-kilolitre-per-day (KLPD) grain-based ethanol distillery, mainly
using broken rice and maize as the basic raw materials, in the
Kumuram Bheem Asifabad district of Telangana. The proposed facility
is expected to commence operations from April 2025.

A.J.S. RESIDENTIAL: Court to Hear Wind-Up Petition on Sept. 13
--------------------------------------------------------------
A petition to wind up the operations of A.J.S. Residential Limited
will be heard before the High Court at Auckland on Sept. 13, 2024,
at 10:45 a.m.
The Commissioner of Inland Revenue, filed the petition against the
company on July 22, 2024.
The Petitioner's solicitor is:
Cloete Van Der Merwe

KESTER BLACK: Investors Upset Following Company Collapse
--------------------------------------------------------
Radio News Zealand reports that a New Zealand woman once celebrated
for turning NZD50 into a multimillion-dollar business empire is now
facing angry investors upset at how recent financial problems have
been handled.
Otago woman Anna Ross founded cosmetic brand Kester Black, which
said it makes "natural nail care" and takes a "holistic approach to
beauty".
In 2021, it was reported that the business had made more than
NZD1.16 million in revenue in the past 12 months.
That same year, the Australian-registered arm of the business,
Kester Black Pty Ltd, raised more than AUD2 million from investors
via equity crowdfunding platform Birchal, RNZ recalls. At that
point, the company was valued at AUD22 million.
But the company entered voluntary administration on July 9.
Hamilton Murphy was appointed administrators, RNZ says.
According to RNZ, the New Zealand business was put into liquidation
the following month, with Waterstone Insolvency appointed. Kester
Black Pty was the sole shareholder.
One investor, Tahnee Lucas, said they had been told investors would
not get any of their money back.
"I invested close to NZD3,000 so will get nothing for that."
Hamilton Murphy would not confirm this but said interested parties
would be sent more information soon.
RNZ relates that Ms. Lucas said she had not been able to join a
shareholders' call because the Zoom meeting was capped at 100
participants.
RNZ notes that the business and assets of Kester Black Pty Ltd were
sold at the end of July to New New New Pty Ltd, a company owned by
Fergus Sully, whom media have previously referred to as Ms. Ross's
"business and life partner".
The sale was for just over AUD146,220. A 10 percent deposit was
required, and then the remainder was to be paid in 12 monthly
instalments.
The minutes of a creditors' meeting in mid-August show the deed of
company arrangement would give priority creditors a full return of
what they were owed, and unsecured creditors about 29c in the
dollar, RNZ discloses.
In New Zealand, New New New Holdings is listed on the Companies
Office with Ms. Ross as the director.
The New Zealand Companies Office lists Ms. Sully as the sole
director of the Kester Black business.
The administrator's report said Kester Black Pty Ltd had reported
trading losses over the financial years prior to the
administration. It had not been able to keep up with its tax
liabilities and owed the Australian Tax Office AUD62,125.
Trading appears to have continued as usual, with nothing in the
company's frequent social media advertisements to indicate any
behind-the-scenes change - except for "angry" reactions and
comments that appear to have been deleted.
Ms. Lucas said investors were given the idea that it was an
"ethical, conscious company".
"But the fellow investors I have managed to speak to feel the way
there was no communication from the company and the business has
been sold to a new company with her husband as the director and
kept trading is anything but ethical. Investors are upset and feel
it's all been smoke and mirrors as we were sent communications
about how the business was doing well throughout the period of our
investment with positively geared company updates.
"There are concerns that the funds raised for the company may have
been used for product development, with the new entity now reaping
the benefits without any consideration for the original
shareholders. It feels as though the company has evaded
accountability, and despite accepting the risk of investing, the
lack of transparency and communication is troubling."
Another investor said they had received positive updates for about
three years but now the "rug has been firmly pulled out".
"No gratitude, no acknowledgement, no apology."
Anna Ross said she was not in a position to comment but would be in
touch when she had information to share, RNZ relays.
The Financial Markets Authority warns that equity crowfunding is
risky and while investments might do well, people could also lose
all their money, adds RNZ.

CONTI'S BAKESHOP: Dennis Uy Sells 2 Restaurants at Huge Discount
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bilyonaryo.com reports that the rumor mill is swirling about how
much Dennis Uy really pocketed for his two prized restaurant
brands, Conti's Bakeshop & Restaurant and Wendy's Philippines.
According to Bilyonaryo.com, a Babbler said Mr. Uy reportedly sold
Conti's Bakeshop and the local Wendy's fast food chain franchise
for just PHP2 billion.
If true, that's a mind-blowing drop from the $200 million (PHP11.6
billion) price tag he was aiming for back in 2022, according to
Reuters.
Even with the massive discount, that's still a pretty penny for Mr.
Uy, whose businesses have been drowning in losses, debt, and cash
flow woes since 2022, the last year of former President Rodgrigo
Duterte's term.
Bilyonaryo.com relates that Babbler said it's a tough time to sell
in the restaurant industry, with top local and foreign brands still
struggling to find buyers willing to meet their asking prices.
Bilyonaryo.com was the first to spill the tea on the sale of
Conti's and Wendy's to Crystal Jacinto, owner of the stem cell
clinic EW Villa Medica, and her wealthy partner, Malaysian
businessman Jaya Sudhir, who invited President Bongbong Marcos to
the Singapore F1 last year.

----------------------------------------------------------
The Business Times reports that Ntegrator, formerly known as

former financial controller and ex-executive director, each seeking
a winding-up order from the High Court.
In a bourse filing on Sept. 3, the company said it has received an
Aug. 23 application from solicitors acting on behalf of Sw Chan
Kit, the former financial controller of the company, BT relays.
According to BT, Sw is seeking a winding-up order against the
company, and an order for representatives from Baker Tilly
(Singapore) to be appointed as joint and several liquidators of
Ntegrator, from the general division of Singapore's High Court.
BT relates that the application also asked for the costs of the
proceedings to be assessed, if not fixed or agreed, and be paid to
Sw out of the company's assets.
Ntegrator also received a second application dated Aug. 30 seeking
the same orders from the High Court, from solicitors of Sw and Han
Meng Siew, a former executive director of Ntegrator.
The second application asked for the costs of proceedings to be
paid to Sw and Han.
The hearing dates for the applications are Sept. 13 and Sept. 20,
BT notes.
BT says Ntegrator is disputing the originating applications and
seeks to claim and/or counterclaim any losses or damages suffered.
It has sought legal advice and "intends to vigorously defend
itself" against the applications.
It added that its current operations are not expected to be
materially affected by the originating applications.
