Perpetual Corporate Trust Ltd. as trustee for La Trobe Financial
Capital Markets Trust 2026-1. La Trobe Financial Capital Markets
Trust 2026-1 is a securitization of nonconforming and prime
residential mortgage loans originated by La Trobe Financial
Services Pty Ltd.

The ratings reflect the following factors.

The credit risk of the underlying collateral portfolio and the
credit support provided to each class of notes are commensurate
with the ratings assigned. Credit support is provided by
subordination and excess spread. Our assessment of credit risk
takes into account La Trobe Financial's underwriting standards and
approval process, and La Trobe Financial's servicing quality.

The transaction's cash flows can meet timely payment of interest
and ultimate repayment of principal to the noteholders under the
rating stresses. Key factors are the level of subordination
provided, an amortizing liquidity reserve sized at 1.5% of the note
balance funded by over issuance of notes, the principal draw
function, the yield reserve, the retention amount built from excess
spread before, and including, the call date, the amortization
amount built from excess spread after the call date or upon a
servicer default, and the provision of an extraordinary expense
reserve. All rating stresses are made on the basis that the trust
does not call the notes at or beyond the call date, and that all
rated notes must be fully redeemed via the principal waterfall
mechanism under the transaction documents.

S&P said, "We also have factored into our ratings the legal
structure of the trust, which has been established as a
special-purpose entity and meets our criteria for insolvency
remoteness.

"Our ratings also reflect the counterparty support provided by the
Commonwealth Bank of Australia as the bank account provider. The
transaction documents for the bank accounts include downgrade
remedy language consistent with our counterparty criteria, that
requires the replacement of the counterparty or other remedy,
should our rating fall below the applicable level."

WELLNESS SOLUTIONS: Enters Voluntary Liquidation
------------------------------------------------
Australasian Leisure Management reports that fitness and wellbeing
industry entrepreneur Tony de Leede's Wellness Solutions Group has
entered voluntary liquidation.

The business - which offered wellness products including massage
chairs, meditation pods and infrared saunas, along with Move123
virtual fitness videos and coworking spaces - made the move to
voluntary liquidation on Feb. 13, Australasian Leisure Management
relates.

Mr. de Leede, best known as the founder of Fitness First Australia
and Gold Coast retreats Gwinganna and EcoView, created Wellness
Solutions in 2019 offering a range of unique brands and products
that for clubs, gyms, facilities and studios to offer total body
and mind wellbeing experiences.

He also created the Club W concept, a 'third space' for women's
wellness, which evolved into Wello Works.

Offering access to hot desks, boardrooms, meditation pods, saunas,
exercise rooms and meditation chairs, Wello Works opened in the
Sydney suburb of Roseberry in March 2024.

Facing what Australasian Leisure Management understands to have
been rising rent costs, the space closed as of last month.

On social media, the company stated it had "officially closed its
doors" on Feb. 4, according to Australasian Leisure Management.

In a statement, Mr. de Leede said his team made the decision to
proceed with an "orderly wind-down" of Wellness Solutions after a
strategic review, the report relays.

He advised "the business had been progressively scaled back over
recent years and was operating at a significantly reduced level.

"Our wonderful staff have been supported throughout the process and
all obligations have been met.

"We're proud of what the small team has achieved."

While the level of debts owed by Wellness Solutions is not known,
Australasian Leisure Management understands that there are no staff
entitlements outstanding or any debt to the Australian Taxation
Office.

Neither the Gwinganna or EcoView Retreats, along with resort Komune
Bali, are in financial difficulty, although Gwinganna or EcoView
are currently being offered for sale, Australasian Leisure
Management notes.

In 2024, Mr. de Leede was honoured for his career achievements with
the presentation of the John Holsinger Lifetime Achievement Award
by Beyond Activ.

DATASEA INC: Reports $538,759 Q2 Net Loss, Going Concern Persists
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Datasea Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
December 31, 2025.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company
had a net loss of $538,759 million and $1.14 million, respectively.
For the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company
had a net loss of 739,785 and $3.10 million, respectively.

For the six months ended December 31, 2025, revenue was $26.81
million, compared with $41.54 million in the same period last year.


The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $45.27
million as of December 31, 2025, and cash flow from operating
activities of approximately $1.54 million and $(1.59) million for
the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The
historical operating results including recurring losses from
operations raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

If deemed necessary, management could seek to raise additional
funds by way of admitting strategic investors, or private or public
offerings, or by seeking to obtain loans from banks or others, to
support the Company's research and development, procurement,
marketing and daily operation.

While management of the Company believes in the viability of its
strategy to generate sufficient revenues and its ability to raise
additional funds on reasonable terms and conditions, there can be
no assurances to that effect.  The ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern depends upon the Company's ability to
further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue
and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or
private offering.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds
on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no
assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will
enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable
operations.  If the Company is unable to raise additional funding
to meet its working capital needs in the future, it may be forced
to delay, reduce or cease its operations.

KALLAM TEXTILES: CARE Reaffirms D Ratings on LT/ST Bank Debts
-------------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings has reaffirmed the ratings on certain bank facilities
of Kallam Textiles Limited (KTL), as:

   Facilities       (INR crore)    Ratings
   ----------       -----------    -------
   Long-term bank      154.14      CARE D Reaffirmed  
   facilities          

   Long-term/          191.24      CARE D/CARE D Reaffirmed
   Short-term
   bank facilities   

Rationale and key rating drivers

Ratings assigned to bank facilities of KTL considers delays and
defaults in payment of interest and instalments of working capital
and term loans as a result of poor liquidity due to cash flow
mismatches.

Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions

Positive factors:

* Establishing a delay-free track record in debt servicing for a
continuous period of over 90 days and improvement in liquidity.

Negative factors: NA

Analytical approach: Standalone

Outlook: Not applicable

Key weaknesses

* Ongoing delays in debt servicing: The company has defaulted on
interest and principal repayments to Indian Bank and Union Bank of
India, with total outstanding dues of INR318.47 crore as on
September 30, 2025. This includes interest on term loans and
working capital loans of INR64.25 crore, overdue term loan
instalments of INR103.37 crore, and working capital loans repayable
on demand amounting to INR150.84 crore. Lenders have classified
facilities as non-performing assets (NPAs) and initiated recovery
proceedings under the SARFAESI Act, 2002, including taking
possession of secured assets under Section 13(4) of the said Act
and issuing auction notices. Recovery cases are pending before the
Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Visakhapatnam, and auction
proceedings for sale of immovable properties offered as security
are ongoing. Although the company applied for restructuring loans,
the proposal remains under consideration, reflecting continued
stress on liquidity and debt servicing ability. Pursuant to
petitions filed by the Indian Bank, notices have been issued for
taking physical possession of properties in Weaving and Spinning
divisions. At the company's request, physical possession of these
properties are presently kept pending.

Liquidity: Poor

The company has poor liquidity as a result of cash flow mismatches
and cash losses leading to delays in debt servicing. The slowdown
in textile sector, sluggish demand, low export orders, volatile
cotton prices and low prices for finished goods and high fixed
overheads such as power costs resulted in deterioration in the
financial condition of the company, leading to cash losses in the
last three years.

Environment, social, and governance (ESG) risks: Not applicable

company had pursued complex EPCIC projects that boosted revenue but
weakened margins. Combined with heavy borrowings, legacy losses,
and an industry downturn, this led to financial distress and its
PN17 classification, according to the report.

Under group CEO Muhammad Zamri Jusoh, who took office in January
2025, the company has adopted a more disciplined approach, the
Exchange Asia relates.

"We are now very selective. The most important things are margins
and cash flows," the Exchange Asia quotes Zamri as saying.

According to the Exchange Asia, a comprehensive restructuring
completed in September 2025 reduced borrowings from MYR10.8 billion
to MYR5.6 billion, including MYR784.3 million in debt forgiveness.
Annual debt servicing costs fell sharply from over MYR800 million
to about MYR250 million.

Banks converted part of their debt into equity instruments,
resulting in creditors holding about 40% of the company
post-restructuring. The turnaround was further supported by MYR1.1
billion in fresh funding via redeemable convertible loan stocks
from Malaysia Development Holding Sdn Bhd, owned by the Ministry of
Finance Inc.

If fully converted, the funding vehicle could become the largest
shareholder with a 35.92% stake. Meanwhile, existing shareholders
such as ASNB and the Shamsuddin brothers saw their stakes diluted.

Following the restructuring, Vantris paid MYR1.1 billion to over
1,400 local vendors, fulfilling earlier commitments and helping
rebuild trust within its ecosystem.

As at Oct 31, 2025, the group's order book stood at MYR6.3 billion,
mainly from drilling (47%), engineering and construction (29%), and
operations and maintenance (24%). Recent contract wins worth MYR1.4
billion from PETRONAS have lifted the order book above MYR7
billion, providing earnings visibility for the next three years.

The group is also shifting focus closer to home, reducing exposure
to the western hemisphere to 12%, while 88% of its MYR28.9 billion
tender book is now in the Asia-Pacific region.

Despite improvements, Vantris remains under PN17 and currently has
no access to working capital or bank guarantee facilities,
requiring it to self-fund operations. To exit PN17, the group must
record two consecutive profitable quarters.

Management is targeting a PN17 exit by FY2027, the report relays.

"We are watching our business like a hawk. No room for error,"
Zamri said, notes the report.

The group continues to divest non-core assets to strengthen
liquidity, including the recent US$30.5 million sale of its stake
in an Indian joint venture.

Looking ahead, Zamri remains cautiously optimistic about the oil
and gas sector, citing sustained investment by major oil companies
despite market volatility, the Exchange Asia adds.

FLETCHER BUILDING: First Half Net Loss Narrows to NZD11 Million
---------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Brief reports that Fletcher Building reported a half-year
net loss of NZD11 million, citing margin pressures and subdued
market conditions across New Zealand and Australia.

The building manufacturing company's half-year net loss narrowed
from a net loss of NZD134 million a year prior, Capital Brief
discloses.

Revenue came in at NZD2.8 billion, missing analysts' estimates of
NZD3.5 billion, while earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) was
NZD138 million.

Net cash from operating activities was NZD156 million, up from
NZD87 million the prior corresponding period.

Capital Brief says the company did not declare a dividend.

According to Capital Brief, Fletcher CEO Andrew Reding said the
profit decline was driven by lower volumes in New Zealand's
residential and civil markets alongside competitive pressures.

He said market conditions are expected to remain challenging in the
near term, with a more meaningful recovery not anticipated until
2027.

GRACE OCEAN: Judge Allows Dali Manager's Bid to Limit Liability
---------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew G. Simpson at Insurance Journal reports that a federal judge
has allowed the manager of the cargo ship Dali involved in the
tragic collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March
2024 to proceed for now with its claims under an 1851 maritime law
that limits liability for shipowners.

According to Insurance Journal, the state of Maryland and wrongful
death claimants had sought to prevent Synergy Marine from invoking
the Shipowners' Limitation of Liability Act on the basis that
Synergy does not meet the requirements as an owner of the ship and
thus is not entitled to limited liability protection granted by the
law.

Under the maritime law, a shipowner's liability for a maritime loss
or mishap is limited to the value of the ship and her pending
freight if the mishap occurred without the privity of knowledge of
the owner. The stipulated value of the Dali is $43.7 million.

Insurance Journal relates that the state and attorneys for wrongful
death claimants argued that the law applies only to actual owners
of vessels and that Grace Ocean Private Limited was and is the
owner of the cargo ship Dali, while Synergy was only the manager
and thus not eligible under the law.

Insurance Journal says the filing sought dismissal of Synergy's
petition only; it did not address Grace Ocean's petition for
protection under the act to limit its liability.

U.S. District Court judge James K. Bredar rejected the state's bid
to have Synergy's claim dismissed at this point and will allow
proceedings to continue, according to Insurance Journal. He found
that while there are facts to indicate Synergy is not an owner,
there are also facts that suggest it could be considered an owner
and thus dismissal would not be appropriate at this time.

According to the state's filing, Synergy was not an owner because
there was never a "complete transfer of possession, command, and
navigation of the vessel" by owner Grace Ocean to Synergy,
Insurance Journal relays.

The state contends that Synergy was not responsible for the
vessel's navigation, did not employ the crew, was subject to daily
oversight by the owner, had no financial responsibility for the
vessel's operation, had no financial exposure for claims and does
not provide insurance for the vessel.

For its part, Synergy maintains that its documents show that it had
assumed all responsibility for the ship from the owner Grace Ocean
and that Grace Ocean relied solely on it for the daily oversight
and control of the ship, Insurance Journal relates.

The fact that it is an additional insured on Grace Ocean's
insurance policies supports its position that its control over the
ship was sufficiently substantial to expose it to a shipowner's
risk of liability, according to the manager.

Insurance Journal says the court found that there are competing and
undisputed facts surrounding Synergy's financial responsibility,
relationship with the crew, and how much operational control
Synergy had over the ship. These factual disputes are material and
thus the court refused to rule against Synergy at this point.

Insurance Journal notes that Grace Ocean and Synergy have claimed
that the collapse of the bridge was "not due to any fault, neglect,
or want of care" on their part or on the part of the vessel or any
parties for whose acts they may be responsible.

Grace Ocean and Synergy maintain that they shouldn't be held liable
for any loss or damage from the disaster. But if they are held
liable, their liability should be limited under the maritime law to
no more than the value of the ship and its cargo after the crash,
or $43.7 million, Insurance Journal relays. Before the crash, the
value of the ship was about $90 million.

Insurance Journal adds that the state and wrongful death claimants
want the court to hold both Grace Ocean and Synergy fully
accountable for alleged negligence, mismanagement, and
incompetence.

Grace Ocean Private and Synergy Marine have themselves sued Hyundai
Heavy Industries, the company that built their vessel, alleging
negligence in the design of a critical switchboard on the ship,
according to Insurance Journal.

In November, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued
a report finding that a loose wire in the ship's electrical system
caused a breaker to unexpectedly open. That in turn triggered a
sequence of events that led to two vessel blackouts and a loss of
both propulsion and steering near the 2.37-mile-long Key Bridge.

Singaporean companies Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy
Marine Pte Ltd are the owner and manager of MV Dali.

On March 26, 2024, the Dali catastrophically allided with the
Francis Scott Key Bridge, precipitating its immediate downfall,
claiming lives, ravaging local property, and crippling economic
lifeline at the Baltimore Harbor.  Since the disastrous allision,
commercial activities in and around Baltimore have virtually come
to a standstill.  It could take several years for the area to
recover fully.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was a 1.6-mile span over the Patapsco
River at the outer crossing of the Baltimore Harbor.

PIZZA HUT KOREA: To Transfer Operations to PE-Backed Entity
-----------------------------------------------------------
No Kyung-min at The Korea Herald reports that Pizza Hut's Korean
unit, currently under court-led rehabilitation, is moving to sell
its business rights to a newly formed private-equity-backed vehicle
in a bid to preserve the brand while containing its debt burden.

According to The Korea Herald, industry sources said on Feb. 13
that local private equity firms Kclavis Investment and Winter Gold
have formed a new entity, PH Korea, to acquire the operating rights
of Pizza Hut's Korean business for KRW11 billion ($7.6 million).
The deal followed a court-supervised process enabling the transfer
of core assets ahead of final restructuring approval.

Under the plan, the existing unit will use the sale proceeds to
repay creditors and then enter liquidation, with PH Korea taking
over the franchise network and company-operated stores, the report
relates.

Of the sale proceeds, roughly KRW7 billion is expected to be
distributed to rehabilitation creditors after priority claims are
settled. That would allow creditors to recover about 13 percent of
their claims, compared with less than 4 percent if no business
transfer had occurred, The Korea Herald relays.

The Korea Herald relates that the move comes more than a year after
Pizza Hut Korea filed for court-led rehabilitation in November
2024, citing a prolonged dispute with franchisees and mounting
financial strain. Pressure intensified after the Supreme Court
finalized a ruling ordering the company to return KRW21.5 billion
in so-called "margin franchise fees," undisclosed markups on
supplies sold to franchisees. The decision pushed total
rehabilitation claims to about KRW61.5 billion, the report notes.

According to The Korea Herald, industry insiders said PH Korea's
creation underscores the financial reality that carving out the
brand and operating assets from the existing entity had become the
only viable restructuring path.

"This is about remaking the franchise model," said one industry
official. "The brand's fate will now largely hinge on maintaining
strong relationships with franchisees."

The Korea Herald says PH Korea plans to overhaul its profit
structure, logistics and marketing while streamlining franchise
agreements to stabilize operations, with no store closures or
large-scale layoffs planned.

Pizza Hut Korea said it will submit creditor feedback from a recent
meeting to the court, adds The Korea Herald. The restructuring will
proceed subject to court approval of the asset transfer,
confirmation of the rehabilitation plan and a creditors' meeting
before the deal is finalized.
