17701-05 VENTURA: Unsecureds to be Paid in Full over 60 Months
--------------------------------------------------------------
17701-05 Ventura Boulevard, LLC, submitted a First Amended
Disclosure Statement describing First Amended Plan of
Reorganization dated November 18, 2025.
The Debtor needed the breathing room provided by bankruptcy to do
the following: (1) complete the repairs on the Property and get the
Property rented out; (2) obtain turnover of the insurance funds
held by Axos; (3) resolve the Debtor's claim against Axos; and (4)
either pay off the loan in favor of Axos or obtain new financing to
replace the loan in favor of Axos.
The Debtor already has a tenant in place, White Oak ADHC (the
"Tenant") and anticipates that it will move in or about January
2026. The Tenant is an adult day care center, and it will occupy
the whole space. The monthly rent will be $28,000 per month with
CAM fees of $3,750 per month.
The Debtor is not currently receiving rental income from the
billboard as there is a dispute with the billboard company.
Nonetheless, the Debtor believes that the dispute will be resolved
some time in 2026, and it will again start receiving rental income
in 2027.
Postpetition, Mr. Geoula has worked to resolve the claims held by
Hudson Partners Construction, LLC (the second deed of trust on the
Property was executed on August 1, 2024, and recorded on August 26,
2024 (10:24 a.m.), Recording No. 20240571223) and Khalil Firoozmand
(the third deed of trust on the Property was executed on August 1,
2024, and recorded on August 26, 2024 (11:23 a.m.), Recording No.
20240571652). Hudson Partners and Mr. Firoozmand did not file
POCs.
Class 4 consists of General Unsecured Claims. In the present case,
the Debtor estimates that general unsecured debts total
approximately $94,473.05. This Class is impaired. The Debtor will
pay general unsecured claims in full of $94,473.05, with interest
of 3.67%, amortized over 60 months, totaling $95,602.34, follows:
Months 1-4: $1,725.83 per month
Month 5: $88,699.0
Class 5 consists of Interest Holders. The Debtor's owner will
retain his ownership interest in the Debtor.
The Debtor will fund the Plan from the operation of its business, a
refinance loan, gift contributions from the managing member, and
the funds that it has/will have accumulated in its DIP bank
accounts.
The Debtor projects that it will require gift contributions from
the managing member to assist with the Plan payment, or as needed.
Mr. Geoula has sufficient means and the funds available to make all
contributions necessary. As shown in the statement, Mr. Geoula has
$500,000 readily available in his accounts to make the proposed
contributions.

3784 LLC: Creditors to Get Proceeds From Liquidation
----------------------------------------------------
3784, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Florida a Disclosure Statement in support of Chapter 11
Plan of Liquidation dated November 18, 2025.
The Debtor, a Florida limited liability company, is the owner of
two parcels of real property and is acting as a landlord to
Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) – Florida Care ALF of Amelia
Island, Inc. (Duval County) and Florida Care ALF of Vero Beach,
Inc. (Indian River County).
The Debtor was in the process of selling its multiple parcels of
real property when loans encumbering the properties became due. As
the properties are subject to ALF regulations, the purchaser is
also required to be approved by the Florida Agency for Health Care
Administration (AHCA). Prior interested parties have not had their
approval affirmed by AHCA.
The Debtor is selling the properties and will yield sufficient
funds to pay all creditors 100% of their entitled claim, after
payment of closing costs, mortgage debt and other encumbrances of
approximately $6 million.
In broad summary, the Plan provides for (i) the liquidation of the
Debtor's assets in accordance with the Confirmation of the Plan and
(ii) the distribution of the Liquidation Proceeds to 100% of all
Allowed Claims; In short, it is proposed that there will be no
impaired claims, classes or creditors.
Class 7 is comprised of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims not
otherwise classified under the Plan. Each Holder of an Allowed
Class 7 General Unsecured Claim shall receive on the Effective
Date, in full and final satisfaction of such Holder's Allowed Class
7 General Unsecured Claim, such Holder's Pro Rata Share of the
Liquidation Proceeds, such amount to be paid to such Holder by the
Debtor. The procedures for Distributions to Holders of Allowed
General Unsecured Claims in Class 7 shall be in accordance with
Article 9 of the Plan and the Confirmation Order. Class 7 is
Impaired.
Class 8 is comprised of all equity interests in the Debtor, which
are owned by Warren Taylor. The Tax Reserve shall be held in escrow
or paid to the IRS if the IRS has an Allowed Claim against the
Debtor. The equity interests in the Debtor shall be cancelled, and
Warren Taylor shall not receive any distributions on account of its
equity interests in the Debtor. Class 8 is Impaired.
The Plan payments will be funded from the Liquidation Proceeds
received from the sale of the Debtor's assets. Administrative
Expense Claims shall be paid, Priority Claims and Priority Tax
Claims (if any) shall be paid.

A/C DUCTOLOGIST: Unsecureds Will Get 15.90% of Claims in Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
The A/C Ductologist, LLC, submitted a First Amended Plan of
Reorganization dated November 18, 2025.
This is the First Amended Plan of Reorganization of the Debtor.
Creditors will receive payment from the Debtor from the cash flow
of the Debtor's operations for a period of 5 years.
This Plan provides for 2 classes of priority tax claims, 1 class of
other priority claims, 1 class of secured claims (SBA), 2 classes
of secured vehicle claims, 2 classes of general unsecured claims
and 1 class of equity security holders. General unsecured creditors
holding allowed claims will receive distributions, which the Debtor
has valued at approximately 15.90 cents on the dollar. This Plan
also provides for the payment of administrative and priority
claims.
Creditors have filed general unsecured claims (and/or there exist
general unsecured scheduled claims) in this bankruptcy proceeding
totaling approximately $2,435,211.65. By this Plan, the Debtor will
be restructuring these obligations, such that the Debtor can remain
viable as a going concern.
The Debtor's financial projections show that the Debtor will have
projected disposable income of $1,098,991.00. The financial
projections include the full 60-month period. The final Plan
payment is expected to be paid no later than January 31, 2031.
Class 6 consists of all allowed general unsecured claims, including
any undersecured claims and the unsecured portion of the U.S. Small
Business Administration claim. The Class 6 Creditors shall share
pro rata in a total distribution in the amount of $387,167.00,
representing approximately 15.90% of their allowed claims.
General unsecured creditors will receive monthly distributions
based on the Debtor's available disposable income after payment of
all secured claims, priority claims, and administrative expenses.
The distribution amounts will vary by month based on cash flow
availability, specifically as set forth in the financial
projections. Each creditor will receive their pro rata share of the
available monthly distribution amount.
Unsecured creditors will be receiving a distribution of
approximately 15.90% of their allowed claim(s), which is an amount
in excess of what claimants would receive in a hypothetical Chapter
7 proceeding, in which case such claimants would receive a
significantly lesser amount. The allowed unsecured claims total
$2,435,211.65.
Class 7 consists solely of the pre-petition claim of Stan Weaver &
Company, a critical vendor whose continued business relationship is
essential to the Debtor's successful reorganization. Stan Weaver's
allowed general unsecured claim is $53,432.63, which shall be paid
at the rate of $2,500.00 per month, starting on the First Payment
Date, until paid in full.
Stan Weaver is a critical vendor that supplies essential products
to the Debtor. The Debtor requires Stan Weaver's products to remain
competitive in the market and to generate sufficient revenue to
fund this Plan. Without Stan Weaver's ongoing cooperation and
supply of goods, the Debtor would be unable to meet customer
demand, would lose market share to competitors, and would be unable
to generate the disposable income necessary to make Plan payments.
The Debtor's ability to purchase products from Stan Weaver at
competitive prices and to sell those products at favorable margins
is central to the feasibility of this Plan.
The means necessary for the implementation of this Plan include the
Debtor's cash flow from operations for a period of 5 years. The
Debtor's financial projections show that the Debtor will have
sufficient cash over the life of the Plan to make the required Plan
payments and operate its business. The estimated cash on hand
necessary as of the First Payment Date of this Plan is $3,500.00.

$2,931,702 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared
to a net loss of $3,699,317 for the three months ended September
30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $10,302,714, compared to a net loss of $10,209,149
for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were
$2,167. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the
Company had total revenues of $113,037 and $20,729, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $22,679,340 in total
assets, $12,634,391 in total liabilities, and $10,044,949 in total
stockholders' equity.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $1,128,217.
Ainos says it plans to finance its operations and development needs
with its existing cash and cash equivalents, additional equity,
and/or debt financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on terms
acceptable to the Company, on a timely basis, or at all.
If the Company is not able to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable
terms when needed, the Company's business, results of operations,
and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted.
The Company also disclosed that on May 31, 2024, the Company
entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement, or sales
agreement, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC or Wainwright, pursuant
to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares
of its common stock, the aggregate market value of Shares eligible
for sale in the Offering and under the ATM Agreement will be
subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form
S-3, to the extent required under such instruction. The prospectus
supplement filed with the SEC on July 11, 2024, is offering Shares
having an aggregate offering price of $1,840,350.
On September 5, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to
amend the Prospectus to update the amount of shares the Company is
eligible to sell pursuant to such prospectus. The Company increased
the amount of shares of Common Stock it may offer and sell under
the Sales Agreement to an aggregate offering price of up to
$874,496 from time to time through Wainwright. Pursuant to General
Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities
in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of
our public float in any 12-month calendar period so long as our
public float remains below $75.0 million.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company sold 674,867 shares of common
stock under At-the-Market Offering Agreement, resulting in net
proceeds of approximately $1,852,895.
The Company expects to continue incurring development expenses for
the next 12 months as the Company advances its product development
plans.
The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception and
has an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2025 of $63,052,030
and expects to incur additional losses and negative operating cash
flows for at least the next 12 months.
The Company's ability to meet its obligations is dependent upon its
ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and
future financing transactions. Although management expects the
Company will continue as a going concern, there is no assurance
that management's plans will be successful since the availability
and amount of such funding is not certain.
Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months.
Management Commentary:
Chun-Hsien (Eddy) Tsai, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief
Executive Officer of Ainos, commented, "Ainos continued to execute
with focus as we build the foundation for the 2026 commercial
scale-up of our core scent-digitization technology platform, AI
Nose. This quarter, we further strengthened our market position by
adding new strategic partners in the semiconductor and industrial
edge AI sectors, expanding our network of major industrial
collaborators to six and advancing the buildout of a comprehensive
SmellTech ecosystem. Together, these collaborations extend AI Nose
into high-value applications in semiconductors, industrial
automation and robotics--accelerating adoption through broader
sales and service channels and validating digital olfaction as a
transformative capability for intelligent sensing."
"We are delivering on our commitments. AI Nose pilots are scaling
rapidly, setting the stage for wider commercial rollouts in 2026.
Market interest has also been reinforced by strong visibility at
major industrial exhibitions, where Ainos showcased the world's
first commercial AI olfactory system that transforms scent into a
machine-readable data layer for industrial and healthcare
applications.
"AI is redefining the electronic-nose market by strengthening odor
analysis and identification, underscoring the strategic soundness
of our focus on AI-driven SmellTech. According to third-party
research, the global electronic-nose market is projected to grow
from approximately $45 billion in 2025 to more than $130 billion by
2034, representing a 12.7% compound annual growth rate. Asia
Pacific is expected to lead the next growth wave--precisely where
Ainos is building scale. Our proprietary Smell Language Model (SLM)
and over a decade of data experience give us a powerful competitive
edge. As a U.S.-incorporated company, I believe our strong momentum
in Asia is strategically positioning us for the next phase of
global expansion -- with the U.S. market firmly in our sights as
the next major growth frontier.
"Through our expanding SmellTech-as-a-Service model, Ainos is on a
path of turning years of research and development into recurring,
data-driven value. Our technology is being deployed across
factories and robots, delivering real-time AI-powered scent
analytics that enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental
awareness.
"With strong execution, a defensible intellectual-property moat,
and growing commercial traction, Ainos is heading into 2026 with
increasing momentum and long-term growth potential. We are proud to
advance the development of AI-powered digital olfaction, shaping a
future where machines can potentially perceive the world around
them."
Christopher Lee, Chief Financial Officer of Ainos, remarked,
"Throughout the third quarter, we maintained a disciplined
financial approach, emphasizing prudent, cash-based expense
management while continuing to support our strategic priorities for
scaling adoption of the SmellTech platform. Selling, general, and
administrative expenses declined 22% year over year, contributing
to an 8% reduction in total operating expenses. Our focus on
operational efficiency and measured investment enabled us to
sustain momentum in AI Nose commercialization, expand our partner
ecosystem, and advance our clinical programs, all while preserving
balance sheet flexibility. With a lean cost structure and effective
capital allocation, Ainos remains well positioned to execute its
2026 scale-up roadmap and deliver long-term value to
shareholders."

AMERICAN SIGNATURE: Seeks Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in Delaware
-----------------------------------------------------------
On November 22, 2025, American Signature USA Inc. filed
Chapter 11 protection in the District of Delaware. According to
court filing, the Debtor reports between $500 million and $1
billion in debt.
About American Signature USA Inc.
American Signature USA Inc. specializes in designing, sourcing, and
distributing consumer products for a broad range of retail
markets.
American Signature USA Inc. sought relief under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 25-12103) on
November 22, 2025. In its petition, the Debtor reports estimated
assets between $100 million and $500 million and estimated
liabilities between $500 million and $1 billion.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge J. Kate Stickles handles the case.

ANSER CHARTER: Moody's Cuts Rating on Ser. 2021A Revenue Bond to B1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has downgraded to B1 from Ba3 the revenue bond
rating for Anser Charter School, ID's (Anser) Nonprofit Facilities
Revenue Bonds (Anser of Idaho, Inc. Project), Series 2021A (Credit
Enhancement). The outlook remains negative. As of June 30, 2025,
the school had approximately $11 million of debt outstanding. The
Series 2021A bond also carry a Aa2 enhanced rating reflecting the
credit enhancement provided by the Idaho Public Charter School
Facilities Program.
The downgrade is driven by Anser's narrower than expected operating
performance in fiscal 2025 stemming from a weak enrollment trend.
Social and governance considerations are a key driver of this
rating action. Social considerations include adverse demographic
trends within the school's service area, constraining enrollment
growth. Governance considerations include weak financial
management, resulting in multiple operating deficits and
insufficient debt service coverage in 2025.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The B1 rating reflects Anser's high leverage and enrollment that
continues to lag expectations following the completion of its
expansion in 2022. The weak enrollment growth is primarily driven
by a declining school-age population in the area. As a result,
fiscal 2025 annual debt service coverage fell below 1x for the
second year in a row. Spendable cash and investments also covered
outstanding debt by a narrow 11% in fiscal 2025. The school
continues to work with the Bluum organization, a philanthropic
institution that supports charter schools in Idaho, to develop
financial projections based on reduced enrollment to meet the
annual debt service covenant of 1.1x in fiscal 2026.
The school is seeking a waiver from bondholders following a breach
of the debt service covenant. Under the Loan Agreement, bondholders
may vote to accelerate repayment if annual debt service coverage
falls below 1.0x and is not cured within 12 months. Since the
school participates in the Idaho Public Charter School Facilities
program, bonds may not be accelerated without the written consent
of the Idaho State Treasurer.
The school has maintained statisfactory academic performance as an
Expeditionary Learning (EL) school in the Boise metro area. The
school's liquidity is adequate at 73 days cash on hand as of fiscal
2025. Last year, the the school's charter contract was renewed
without conditions by the Idaho Public Charter School Commission
for a 6-year term, the longest allowable.
RATING OUTLOOK
The negative outlook reflects the likelihood of continued weak
operating performance in fiscal 2026. Future reviews will consider
the school's ability to maintain enrollment, restore satisfactory
operating margins, and meet its debt service coverage covenant.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OF THE RATING
-- Sustained enrollment growth and increase in student demand
-- Improvement in operating performance resulting in annual debt
service coverage above 1.2x on a sustained basis
-- Material reduction in leverage with spendable cash and
investments sufficient to cover debt by over 35%
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE OF THE RATING
-- Continued deterioration in operating performance resulting in
ongoing coverage below sum sufficient
-- Reduction in liquidity to below 65 monthly days cash on hand
-- Failure to implement measures that return the budget to
structural balance
PROFILE
The Anser Charter School was founded in 1998 and is located in
Garden City, ID, within the Boise metro area. The school serves
students in grades K-8 from one campus and offers an Expeditionary
Learning (EL) education model. In fiscal 2025, the school reported
$6 million in operating revenue and enrollment of 557 students.
METHODOLOGY
The principal methodology used in this rating was US Charter
Schools published in April 2024.

noted that the deal represents the highest and best offer, allowing

APPTECH PAYMENTS: Reports $1.7MM Net Loss in 2025 Q3
----------------------------------------------------
AppTech Payments Corp. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
attributable to common stockholders of $1.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.2 million,
compared to a net loss of $8 million for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $227 thousand and $43 thousand, respectively. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had
total revenues of $735 thousand and $224 thousand, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30,
2024, the Company maintained its liquidity sources primarily
through cash and cash equivalents, and proceeds received from the
AFIOS Partners investment.
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024 were $439 thousand and $868 thousand, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $6.2 million in total
assets, $4.8 million in total liabilities, and $1.4 million in
total stockholders' equity.
The Company has experienced recurring operating losses, primarily
due to limited revenues. The Company's current financial conditions
and recurring losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.
Management has restructured its operations, reduced its headcount,
and is actively pursuing additional funding options.
"We are confident that two of its revenue streams will begin
generating revenue in the following 12 months from the issuance
date of these financial statements," the Company said.
Management intends to maintain adequate working capital and adhere
to prudent financial forecasting.

limited revenues and has suffered recurring losses from operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's

ARENA GROUP: $6.9MM Income in 2025 Q3; Lifts Going Concern Doubt
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Arena Group Holdings, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net income of $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to a net income of $4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net income of $119.5 million, compared to a net loss of $107.6
million for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $29.8 million and $33.6 million, respectively. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had
total revenues of $106.6 million and $89.7 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $121.4 million in total
assets, $131.6 million in total liabilities, and $10.2 million in
total stockholders' deficit.
In prior periods, the Company disclosed that substantial doubt
existed regarding its ability to continue as a going concern due to
recurring losses, a working capital deficit, and limited
liquidity.
Arena said, "We continue to improve our financial performance
through revenue growth and reduction of costs and monthly cash
requirements, and to maintain compliance with the terms of all
outstanding debt agreements, and have taken actions to resolve
current and potential future liabilities, such as resolving pending
litigation. We have reported consecutive profitable results in the
third and fourth quarters of 2024 and the first, second, and third
quarters of 2025. The previously disclosed working capital deficit
existed due to the classification of our outstanding debt as a
current liability and the accrual of several liabilities from
discontinued operations. These conditions no longer exist."
As a result of these developments, management has concluded that
the conditions that previously raised substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern no longer exist.
Accordingly, management has determined that there is no longer
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern
for at least the next 12 months.
Simplify Loan
The Company also disclosed that on August 19, 2024, the Company
entered into an amended and restated promissory note, in connection
with the amendment to the March 13, 2024 working capital loan
agreement with Simplify, a related party, pursuant to which the
Company has available up to $50,000 (originally $25,000) at 10.0%
interest rate per annum, payable monthly in arrears with a maturity
on December 1, 2026 (originally March 13, 2026).
The Simplify Loan is secured by certain assets of the Company and
its subsidiaries, which are also guarantors of the obligations. In
connection with the Amended Promissory Note, on August 19, 2024,
the Company and Simplify also entered into a common stock purchase
agreement, whereby $15,000 of outstanding indebtedness under the
Simplify Loan was exchanged for shares of the Company's common
stock.
In the event of a default, including but not limited to the failure
to pay any amounts when due, the interest will accrue at the
Applicable Interest Rate plus 5.0% and the Simplify Loan will be
payable upon demand to Simplify.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance
outstanding on the Simplify Loan was $0 and $10,651, respectively.
The Simplify loan, which provides for borrowings of up to $50
million, matures on December 1, 2026, and its Renew term debt
matures on December 31, 2026.
"While we have reported net income for the past four quarters and
currently maintain a cash balance of approximately $15 million, our
ability to meet ongoing liquidity needs and support future growth
is dependent, in part, on our access to external financing. We
intend to refinance or replace the Simplify loan and our Renew term
debt prior to their due dates; however, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to do so on terms that are acceptable to us,
or at all, and our cash flow may not be sufficient to allow us to
pay principal and interest on this debt and meet our other
obligations."
"If we cannot generate or obtain needed funds, we might be forced
to make substantial reductions in our operating and capital
expenses or pursue restructuring plans, which could adversely
affect our business operations and ability to execute our current
business strategy.
"In addition, if a default occurs as a result, the lenders could
elect to declare the indebtedness, together with accrued interest
and other fees, to be immediately due and payable and proceed
against any collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, if
repayment of our indebtedness is accelerated as a result of such
default, we cannot assure you that we would have sufficient assets
or access to credit to repay such indebtedness."

The ratings reflect Bristow's leading position in a less-volatile
subsector of the cyclical oilfield services sector, reasonable
leverage, and stable cashflows from its government services
business. These factors are offset by cashflow variability and
Bristow's small scale in the oilfield services sector. The ratings
also reflect the growing proportion of more stable government
services revenue and assumes that Bristow will achieve its $500
million debt target in the near to intermediate term.
Key Rating Drivers
Volatile Offshore Energy Activity Levels: Bristow's exposure to the
offshore energy services sector, which represents 68% of the
company's revenue, is expected to decline to the low-60% area over
the next several years. As offshore activity levels fluctuate with
commodity prices, Bristow's exposure to this sector introduces
volatility to its cash flows. However, approximately 85% of the
Bristow's revenue from this segment is aligned with production,
which is more stable than drilling and development, somewhat
insulating it from exposure to this volatility.
The contract structure in the offshore energy market—which
derives about 65% of its revenue from monthly standing charges and
the remainder from variable flight-hour revenue—further mitigates
the impact of this volatility on cash flow. Cash flow for offshore
energy is somewhat less volatile for helicopter operators than for
most other oilfield service providers.
Stable and Growing Government Services Segment: Bristow's
government services segment provides stable and contractual cash
flows. The company offers search and rescue (SAR) services under
long-term contracts with several countries, including 10-year
agreements with the U.K. Maritime & Coastguard Agency, Irish Coast
Guard, Netherlands Coastguard, Dutch Antilles Coastguard, and the
Falkland Islands (U.K. Ministry of Defence).
The structure of these contracts, which address all or part of each
country's SAR needs, yields about 85% of revenue from a monthly
standing charge, with only 15% from actual flight-hour charges. The
length and structure of these contracts provide a significant
foundation of stable cash flow.
Favorable Recontracting Environment: Bristow's fleet is well
positioned to benefit from higher pricing and improved cash flows
as legacy contracts expire and are renegotiated in a more favorable
market. About 53% of Bristow's offshore energy contracts are
currently operating under pricing set during a weaker operating
period. As these contracts are renewed, they are expected to be
repriced at higher rates and with better terms, which will bolster
forecasted cash flows.
Solid Backlog: Bristow's current backlog of $4.1 billion provides
reasonable revenue visibility. Of this backlog, 76% is derived from
the government services end market, with contracts extending up to
10 years. This backlog is limited to monthly standing charge
revenue, excluding variable flight-hour revenue. In the offshore
energy segment, legacy contracts are typically cancellable at the
customer's convenience, although cancellations have been modest,
even in weaker periods. With a more favorable environment for
service providers, new contracts are beginning to include more
stringent cancellation provisions.
Capital Structure: Fitch expects leverage metrics to improve
throughout the forecast period. Leverage was 3.0x at year-end-2024
due to elevated capital spending in preparation for new SAR
contracts. This spending is largely complete and the new SAR
contracts are commencing. The combination of lower capital spending
and higher EBITDA supports significantly stronger FCF in its model,
which Fitch expects will be used for debt repayment. Fitch expects
Bristow to successfully achieve its $500 million debt target in the
near to intermediate term and bring leverage below 2.0x in 2026 and
thereafter.
Tight Helicopter Market: The helicopter market has recorded higher
utilization since the mid-2010s, driven by decreased helicopter
capacity and cautious new-build activity. Only two major suppliers
currently manufacture relevant new aircraft—Leonardo and
Airbus—giving clear visibility into new aircraft deliveries.
Bristow has scheduled eight aircraft for delivery in 2025-2026,
with options for 20 more. Deliveries from both suppliers are
largely allocated over the next several years, and there is an
active market for delivery slots, currently the only viable way to
acquire new aircraft.
Peer Analysis
Bristow generates EBITDA around $250 million, which is modestly
lower than B+ rated peers. Bristow's EBITDA margins in the
mid-teens are also lower than most in the space, except for Helix
Offshore. Bristow's EBITDA and EBITDA margin exhibit lower
volatility than many peers, allowing the company to operate with
somewhat higher leverage. Bristow's leverage is higher than peers,
but there is a clear line of sight to leverage more closely aligned
with peers.
Key Assumptions
- Interest on floating-rate debt determined from forward curves for
SONIA, SOFR, and EURIBOR;
- Top-line increases of around 10% in 2026 due to full rollout of
IRCG SAR contract and continued constructive offshore energy
services activity;
- Revenue declines modestly in 2027, reflecting a pullback in
offshore energy services activity and modest growth in SAR. Low
single digit growth for the remainder of the model;
- Around $200 million in capex for 2025 due to spending related to
the new U.K. SAR and IRCG contracts before returning to a range of
$60 million-$80 million, reflecting maintenance capital spending
plus some modest growth;
- FCF applied to repayment of debt until the company reaches around
$500 million in debt, then applied to share buybacks;
- Senior Secured Notes and IRCG debt refinanced as they come due;
- A modest dividend initiated in 2026.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade:
- Inability to achieve the $500 million debt target in the short to
intermediate term;
- Mid-cycle leverage sustained above 3x.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade:
- Improvements in contract structure, including terms and tenor,
that enhance cashflow visibility;
- Mid-cycle leverage below 2x.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Comfortable Liquidity: With $245.5 million of cash and $67.9
million of availability on its $85 million ABL facility as of Sept.
30, 2025, Bristow's liquidity is sufficient. While FCF will remain
negative in 2025, the fleet and facility buildout related to new
SAR contracts FCF will transition to positive in 2026 and beyond as
the buildout spending is complete and the new SAR contracts ramp
up.

BYJU'S ALPHA: Founder Hit w/ $1B Judgment Over Missing Funds
------------------------------------------------------------
Rick Archer of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a Delaware
bankruptcy judge has entered a default judgment exceeding $1
billion against the founder of Indian tech giant Byju's, finding
that the extraordinary sanction was warranted after months of
willful obstruction in efforts to trace hundreds of millions of
dollars missing from a bankrupt Byju's subsidiary.
According to the ruling, the court determined that the founder
repeatedly defied discovery orders and actively impeded efforts to
locate the diverted funds, leaving the estate and its creditors
with no alternative remedy. The judgment represents one of the most
severe penalties issued in a U.S. bankruptcy case for
discovery-related misconduct.

CAPSTONE GREEN: Reports $834,000 Net Income in 2026 Q2
------------------------------------------------------
Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting
a net income of $834,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to a net loss of $423,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported a
net income of $136,000, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million for
the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $28.4 million and $22.7 million, respectively. For the
six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $56.3 million and $38.4 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $82.4 million in total
assets, $89.7 million in total liabilities, and $39.4 million in
total stockholders' deficit.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $7.7 million,
which includes restricted cash of $0.7 million, and a working
capital deficit of $14.2 million.
Capstone says a robust plan to improve the Company's future
financial performance has been developed. The plan includes
multiple process improvement workstreams directed to drive
operational and financial performance. The process improvement
initiatives are supported with external resources as needed for a
specific level of expertise. The plan also includes cost reduction
in products, services and operating expenses, margin expansion
through price increases, and sales volume initiatives focused on
improving the Company's liquidity. Achieving the targeted product
cost reductions has risk, and is being challenged by the current
geopolitical environment, including the impact of tariffs.
"There is no guarantee that such steps will be successful, or to
result in our ability to meet our payment obligations coming due
within the twelve-month period after the date of the report," the
Company said.
The Company and its advisors are considering various alternatives
to address the upcoming maturity of the Exit New Money Notes, which
may include issuances of equity or the incurrence of additional
indebtedness; however, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in refinancing the Exit New Money Notes.
Given the Company's current cash position, lack of liquidity, short
term debt repayments, limits to accessing capital and debt funding
options and current economic and market risks, there exists
substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern and its ability to meet its financial obligations as
they become due over the next 12 months from the date of issuance
of the financial statements as of, and for the period ended
September 30, 2025.

on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, citing that
the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has
incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to
meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.

CAREVIEW COMMUNICATIONS: Reports $914,214 Net Loss in 2025 Q3
-------------------------------------------------------------
CareView Communications, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net loss of $914,214 for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $1,470,655 for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $2,423,724, compared to a net loss of $3,600,152 for
the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $2,064,535 and $1,932,382, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $6,682,928 and $6,109,259, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $4,977,571 in total
assets, $47,369,261 in total liabilities, and $42,391,690 in total
stockholders' deficit.
In evaluating the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,
management considers the conditions and events that raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern for a period of 12 months after the Company issues
its financial statements.
For the period ended September 30, 2025, management considers the
Company's current financial condition and liquidity sources,
including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows,
and the Company's conditional and unconditional obligations due
before November 12, 2026.
The Company is subject to risks like those of healthcare technology
companies whereby revenues are generated based on both on a
sales-based and subscription-based business model such as
dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development,
generation of revenues, positive cash flow, dependence on outside
sources of capital, risks associated with research, development,
and successful testing of its products, successful protection of
intellectual property, ability to maintain and grow its customer
base, and susceptibility to infringement on the proprietary rights
of others.
The attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future
events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill the
Company's growth and operating activities and generating a level of
revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure.
The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash
outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past
years. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of $215,009,822, net loss from
operations of $68,406, net cash provided by operating activities of
$1,033,269 and an ending cash balance of $1,731,276.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit
of $42,789,653 consisting primarily of PDL notes payables,
including accrued interest.
Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions in
relation to the Company's ability to meet its obligations and
concluded that, without additional funding, the Company will not
have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from
the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were
issued.
While management will look to continue funding operations by
increased sales volumes and raising additional capital from sources
such as sales of its debt or equity securities or loans to meet
operating cash requirements, there is no assurance that
management's plans will be successful.
The Company's net losses and working capital deficit raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern through November 12, 2026.
Management continues to monitor the immediate and future cash flow
needs of the Company in a variety of ways which include forecasted
net cash flows from operations, capital expenditure control, new
inventory orders, debt modifications, increases sales outreach,
streamlining and controlling general and administrative costs,
competitive industry pricing, sale of equities, debt conversions,
new product or services offerings, and new business partnerships.

CATHETER PRECISION: Reports $2.3 Million Net Loss in 2025 Q3
------------------------------------------------------------
Catheter Precision, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net loss of $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $11.8 million, compared to a net loss of $11 million
for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $226,000 and $96,000 respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total revenues
of $581,000 and $271,000, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $25.5 million in total
assets, $19 million in total liabilities, and $6.4 million in total
stockholders' equity.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $1.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $303.8 million. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in
operating activities was $6.8 million. The Company have incurred
recurring net losses from operations and negative cash flows from
operating activities since inception.
The Company also disclosed on May 12, 2025, it raised gross
proceeds of $1.5 million in cash and acquired $0.9 million in
trading debt securities, before deducting placement agent fees and
offering expenses of $0.4 million, in connection with the May 2025
PIPE Financing.
Through September 30, 2025, the Company raised gross proceeds of $4
million, before deduction of commissions and offering expenses of
$0.3 million, in connection with the ATM.
Catheter Precision said, "We expect operating losses and negative
cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future unless our sales
and gross profit increase sufficiently to cover our operating
expenses. We expect our current operating expenses to remain
relatively fixed for the near term, absent entering into a
transformative strategic transaction. We believe that our current
cash on hand of $377 thousand as of November 5, 2025 will not be
sufficient to fund our current operations, and if we are unable to
secure additional financing we will be unable to fund planned
expenditures and meet obligations through the end of the fourth
quarter. Further, we have outstanding short-term notes that will
become due and payable within the next twelve months, including
notes to related parties which come due in January 2026, and in
July 2026."
"Therefore, even if we obtain financing in the fourth quarter,
depending upon the amount of any financing we do obtain, we may
continue to experience insufficient liquidity for the foreseeable
future. We are currently evaluating potential means of raising
cash, as described below, to fund our operations and to pay our
debts as they come due. If we are unable to do so, we will be
required to reduce our spending to align with expected revenue
levels and cash reserves, although there can be no guarantee that
we will be successful in doing so. If we are unable to do so, we
will be required to suspend a portion or all of our operations
and/or potentially seek relief from our creditors. We may not be
able to secure financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms,
if at all.
"The Company remains committed to the aggressive and creative
pursuit of financing, despite great challenges to securing capital
on our preferred terms.
"Any assets that are liquidated to meet our current urgent
liquidity needs may produce proceeds that are less than the market
or stated value of such assets and less than the proceeds that
could have been obtained if they were liquidated in the ordinary
course.
"Due to the challenging economic environment, we have explored and
continue to explore a wide variety of possible capital-raising and
strategic transactions, including but not limited to private equity
offerings, registered issuances, credit facilities, and convertible
debt, or sale of the QHS Notes, as well as other innovative and
specialty finance strategies such as a crypto asset treasury policy
or business combination."
There is no guarantee that the Company will succeed in securing the
financing or other strategic transaction needed to sustain the
Company, or that any such transaction will be on our preferred
terms.
As a result of these factors, the Company has concluded that there
is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern for a period of 12 months.

CIBUS INC: Narrows Net Loss to $23MM in 2025 Q3
-----------------------------------------------
Cibus Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss attributable
to Cibus, Inc. stockholders of $23.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss attributable to
Cibus, Inc. stockholders of $180 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss attributable to Cibus, Inc. stockholders of $96.8
million, compared to a net loss attributable to Cibus, Inc.
stockholders of $228.3 million for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $615,000 and $1.7 million, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $2.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $330.2 million in total
assets, $278.2 million in total liabilities, and $52 million in
total stockholders' equity.
The Company has incurred losses since its inception. The Company's
net loss was $100.3 million and cash used in operating activities
was $37.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The
Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash and cash
equivalents, with additional capital resources accessible, subject
to market conditions and other factors, from the capital markets,
including through offerings of common stock or other securities.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $23.9 million of cash and
cash equivalents and $20.6 million of current liabilities.
The Company anticipates that it will continue to generate losses
for the next several years. Over the longer term and until the
Company can generate cash flows sufficient to support its operating
capital requirements, it expects to finance a portion of future
cash needs through:
(i) Cash on hand,
(ii) commercialization activities, which may result in various
types of revenue streams from future product development agreements
and technology licenses, including upfront and milestone payments,
annual license fees, and royalties,
(iii) government or other third party funding,
(iv) public or private equity or debt financings (which may
include a future at-the-market financing facility or other
continuous offering facility), or
(v) a combination of the foregoing.
On January 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with
Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (Stifel) for an at-the
-market facility having an aggregate offering price of up to $80
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the
Company did not issue any shares of Class A Common Stock from the
ATM Facility, which the Company terminated during the third quarter
of 2025.
In a registered direct offering in January 2025 (January 2025
Follow-On Offering) and in an SEC-registered public offering in
June 2025 (June 2025 Follow-On Offering), the Company received net
proceeds of approximately $21.4 million and $25.0 million,
respectively, after deducting approximately $1.2 million and $2.5
million, respectively, for placement agent commissions and other
offering expenses payable by the Company.
Management will need to raise additional capital to support its
business plans to continue as a going concern within the next 12
months.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Cibus announced a restructuring
initiative, which included a reduction in its workforce. The
Restructuring Initiative instituted cost reduction actions designed
to preserve capital resources for the advancement of its
streamlined priority objectives, which initiatives include
reductions in expenditures for consultants and other third-party
service providers, organizational restructuring and related talent
optimization, and streamlining of rent and facility expenses,
including the non-renewal of the lease for the Company's trait
development facility for editing plants in San Diego, California
upon expiration in August 2025.
In June 2025, building on efficiencies introduced through the
Restructuring Initiative to date, the Company announced further
streamlining of its operational focus to preserve capital resources
and concentrate its working capital expenditures on the commercial
advancement of the Company's weed management traits for Rice.
On July 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Cibus approved a
reduction in workforce of approximately 34 full-time employees as a
pivotal step in implementing the Company's streamlined business
focus. The Company expects that the reduction in workforce will be
completed by December 31, 2025. The Company communicated the
workforce reduction to affected employees on July 23, 2025.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company
incurred approximately $0.2 million of one-time charges for
severance related expenses, which was recorded within operating
expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations. The Company estimates an immaterial amount of one-time
charges for severance related expenses in the fourth quarter of
2025 as the remainder of this reduction in workforce is completed.
These cost reduction initiatives alone will not be sufficient to
forestall a cash deficit. If the Company is unable to raise
additional capital in a sufficient amount or on acceptable terms,
the Company may have to implement additional, more stringent cost
reduction measures to manage liquidity, and the Company may have to
significantly delay, scale back, or cease operations, in part or in
full. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance
of additional debt or equity securities, including as part of a
strategic alternative, it could result in substantial dilution to
its existing stockholders and increased fixed payment obligations,
and these securities may have rights senior to those of the
Company's shares of common stock.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months. Any
of these events could significantly impact the Company's business,
financial condition, and prospects.

CQENS TECHNOLOGIES: Reports $1.15MM Net Loss in 2025 Q3
-------------------------------------------------------
CQENS Technologies Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
attributable to CQENS Technologies, Inc of $1,148,222 for the three
months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of
$5,706,115 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $5,580,221, compared to a net loss of $7,595,402 for
the same period in 2024.
For the first nine months of 2025, the Company reported a
consolidated net loss of $5,596,884 and net cash used in operations
of $4,570,415 compared to a net loss of $7,600,197 and net cash
used in operations of $2,067,595 for the first nine months of 2024.
At September 30, 2025, it had cash on hand of $9,243,579 and an
accumulated deficit of $40,344,015.
The Company did not generate any revenues from our operations in
the first nine months of 2025 or 2024.
CQENS says its total operating expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2025 decreased 78.7% over those reported for the same
period in 2024. This decrease is primarily attributable to the
issuance of 206,750 shares in exchange for professional services in
the first nine months of 2024 that were valued at $4,135,000 which
were not present in this same period in 2025. A decrease in general
and administrative expenses of 11.6% further contributed to this
decrease. An increase in research and development expenses of 26.7%
offset some of this decrease with the increase in engineering
services in the first three months of 2025 versus this same period
in 2024.
For the first nine months of 2025 total operating expenses
decreased 23.3% over those reported in the same period in 2024. The
decrease is principally due to professional fees decreasing 35.0%.
General and administrative expenses saw a 2.7% increase in the
first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of
2024, including increases to amortization expenses, marketing/brand
development costs, rent, office expenses, travel and meals.
Research and development costs in the first nine months of 2025
increased 18.0% over the first nine months of 2024. This increase
was due to increased engineering and consulting services relating
to product design and development work.
CQENS said, "We expect that our operating expenses will increase as
we continue to develop and grow our business and we devote
additional resources toward our new technologies and business
opportunities, promoting that growth, most notably reflected in
anticipated increases in general overhead, salaries for personnel
and technical resources, as well as increased costs associated with
our SEC reporting obligations. However, as set forth elsewhere in
this report, our ability to continue to develop our business and
achieve our operational goals is dependent upon our ability to
raise significant additional working capital. As the availability
of this capital is unknown, we are unable to quantify at this time
the expected increases in operating expenses in future periods."
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $13,327,153 in total
assets, $1,502,989 in total liabilities, and $11,824,164 in total
stockholders' equity.
Liquidity and capital resources:
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $9,243,579 in cash and
cash equivalents and a working capital surplus of $7,878,273
compared to $4,596,556 in cash and cash equivalents and a working
capital surplus of $1,575,975 at December 31, 2024.
Current liabilities decreased $1,667,188 from December 31, 2024,
reflecting a significant decrease in our accounts payable, accrued
expenses and investor deposits with a slight increase in related
party borrowing. Our source of operating capital in the first nine
months of 2025 came from cash on hand at the end of 2024 of
$4,596,556, the sale of 519,500 shares of common stock for gross
proceeds of $10,390,000 of which $9,540,000 was received in the
first nine months of 2025 and $850,000 that was received as an
investor deposit and included in cash on hand at the end of 2024,
borrowing from a related party of $61,943 and earned interest of
$259,044.
The Company's source of operating capital in the first nine months
of 2024 came from cash on hand at the end of 2023 of $350,565;
$112,359 in borrowing from related parties; and $5,308,000 of
proceeds from the sale of its common stock.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund
operating losses until it becomes profitable. As the company is not
generating revenues, continued activities and expenditures to bring
product(s) to market as soon as we are able is important.
Management believes the currently available funding will be
insufficient to finance the Company's operations for a year from
the date of these consolidated financial statements and to satisfy
the Compay's obligations as they become due.
The Company also disclosed that in the first nine months of 2025,
it repaid Xten Capital Group, a related party, $50,000 of the
outstanding loan while in 2024 and 2023 the Company borrowed funds
from Xten Capital Group, a related party.
As a result, at September 30, 2025, the Company owed Xten $950,000.
The loaned funds were used for working capital. In the first nine
months of 2025 Liu Mei Chong loaned $61,943 to CQENS Electronics
(Hong Kong) Limited. The funds are being used for working capital.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company owes Liu Mei Chong $78,657.
The loans are non-interest bearing and due upon demand. At
September 30, 2025 and as of the date of this filing, the Company
owes $1,028,657 to related parties while at September 30, 2024, the
Company owed $1,000,000 to Xten Capital Group.
During the first nine months of 2025 we sold an aggregate of
519,500 shares of common stock to accredited investors for gross
proceeds of $10,390,000 of which $9,540,000 was received in the
first nine months of 2025 and $850,000 that was received as an
investor deposit and included in cash on hand at the end of 2024.
Proceeds from the sales are being used for working capital.
As of November 13, 2025, the Company still will need to raise
$10,000,000 to $15,000,000 in additional capital during the next 12
months to achieve its goals.
"There is no assurance we will have sufficient funds to fund our
operating expenses and continued development of our products and to
satisfy our obligations as they become due over the next 12 months.
In that event, our ability to continue as a going concern is in
jeopardy."

CROSSCOUNTRY INTERMEDIATE: Fitch Rates $500MM Unsec. Notes BB-(EXP)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings expects to rate CrossCountry Intermediate Holdco,
LLC's (CCM) $500 million senior unsecured notes issuance
'BB-(EXP)'. Proceeds from the issuance are expected to be used to
repay secured borrowing and for other general corporate purposes.
Key Rating Drivers
Unsecured Debt Equalized with IDR: The unsecured notes are expected
to rank pari passu with CCM's existing senior unsecured debt, and
therefore the expected rating is equalized with its outstanding
senior unsecured debt and Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR).
The equalization with the IDR reflects Fitch's expectation for
average recovery prospects in a stressed scenario given the
availability of unencumbered assets.
Financial Profile Unchanged: Pro forma for the transaction, total
and corporate leverage were 4.0x and 0.9x at 3Q25, respectively,
compared with 3.9x and 0.8x prior to the issuance. Unsecured debt
represented 21% of total debt at 3Q25, pro forma, up from 14%.
Growing Distributed Retail Franchise: CCM's ratings reflect its
growing distributed retail franchise, conservative debt usage,
solid profitability, adequate liquidity, limited asset quality
risks and well-executed growth strategy.
Cyclical Industry, Key Person Risk: Ratings constraints include
CCM's key person risk with respect to its founder and CEO Ron
Leonhardt, and its growing mortgage servicing rights exposure,
which increases valuation risk. The ratings are also constrained by
the highly cyclical nature of the mortgage industry; reliance on
secured, short-term wholesale funding; and potential servicing
advance needs and regulatory scrutiny arising from its exposure to
Ginnie Mae (GNMA) loans.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- Failure to maintain sufficient liquidity to manage servicer
advances, meet margin call requirements or fund originations;
- Corporate debt to tangible equity sustained above 1.5x, or gross
leverage sustained above 5.0x;
- An inability to refinance secured funding facilities;
- Increased utilization of secured funding that sustainably reduces
the unsecured funding mix below 10%;
- Substantial regulatory fines or litigation expenses that
negatively impact the company's franchise or operating
performance;
- The departure of CEO Ron Leonhardt, who exercises significant
control over day-to-day operations and the overall strategy.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- Continued improvement in the funding profile, including an
extension of funding duration, an increase in the committed funding
percentage, and an increase in the unsecured funding component,
such that unsecured debt was maintained above 25% of total debt;
- Growth of the business that enhances the franchise and platform
scale, including growth in the servicing portfolio;
- Leverage maintained at or below 1x on a corporate debt to
tangible equity basis and 5x on a gross debt to tangible equity
basis;
- Improved liquidity, as evidenced by a meaningful increase in
available liquidity sources (cash and available non-funding
borrowing capacity) to total debt above 30%.
DEBT AND OTHER INSTRUMENT RATINGS: KEY RATING DRIVERS
CCM's expected senior unsecured debt is equalized with the
Long-Term IDR, reflecting the funding mix and adequate unencumbered
assets available to noteholders, suggesting average recovery
prospects in a stressed scenario.
DEBT AND OTHER INSTRUMENT RATINGS: RATING SENSITIVITIES
The expected unsecured debt rating is primarily sensitive to
changes in the IDR and would be expected to move in tandem.
However, a material reduction in unencumbered assets or an increase
in the proportion of secured funding could result in the unsecured
debt rating being notched down from the IDR.
ADJUSTMENTS
- The Business Profile score has been assigned below the implied
score due to the following adjustment reason: Business model
(negative).
- The Asset Quality score has been assigned below the implied score
due to the following adjustment reason: Non-loan exposures
(negative).
- The Earnings & Profitability score has been assigned below the
implied score due to the following adjustment reason: Earnings
stability (negative).
- The Capitalization & Leverage score has been assigned below the
implied score due to the following adjustment reasons: Risk profile
and business model (negative).
- The Funding, Liquidity & Coverage score has been assigned above
the implied score due to the following adjustment reasons:
Historical and future metrics (positive).
Date of Relevant Committee
29-Sep-2025
ESG Considerations
CrossCountry Holdco, LLC has an ESG Relevance Score of '4' for
Customer Welfare - Fair Messaging, Privacy & Data Security due to
its exposure to compliance risks including fair lending practices,
debt collection practices, and consumer data protection. This has a
negative impact on the credit profile and is relevant to the rating
in conjunction with other factors.
CrossCountry Holdco, LLC has an ESG Relevance Score of '4' for
Governance Structure due to the elevated key person risk related to
its founders and CEO, Ron Leonhardt, who exercise significant
control over the company as well as weak governance oversight
compared to publicly traded peers. This has a negative impact on
the credit profile and is relevant to the rating in conjunction
with other factors.
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

CV SCIENCES: Reports $382,000 Net Loss in 2025 Q3
-------------------------------------------------
CV Sciences Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $382,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared
to a net loss of $456,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $752,000, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for
the same period in 2024.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
were $3.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $10.5 million and $11.8 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $7 million in total
assets, $5.5 million in total liabilities, and $1.5 million in
total stockholders' equity.
The Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $0.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and had an
accumulated deficit of $87.7 million as of September 30, 2025.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the
near future, on additional investment capital to fund operations,
growth initiatives and will continue to make and implement
strategic cost reductions, including reductions in employee
headcount, vendor spending, and delaying expenses related to its
drug development activities. The Company intends to position itself
so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the
capital markets, issuance of debt, and/or securing lines of
credit.
In October 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase
agreement with an institutional investor, pursuant to which the
Company issued and sold to the Investor a secured promissory note
and received net proceeds of $300,000.
Subsequent to quarter-end, federal legislation was enacted that,
effective November 13, 2026, will prohibit the sale of hemp-derived
products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per
container. The Company is assessing the potential implications of
this legislation on its operations and product offerings. For more
information refer to Note 14.
The Company's financial operating results and accumulated deficit,
amongst other factors, raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company will continue to pursue the actions outlined above, as
well as work towards increasing revenue and operating cash flows to
meet its future liquidity requirements. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in any
capital-raising efforts that it may undertake, and the failure of
the Company to raise additional capital could adversely affect its
future operations and viability.
Management Commentary:
"We are pleased with our third quarter 2025 results, highlighted by
healthy gross margins of 48% and continued progress toward
profitability and positive cash flow," stated Joseph Dowling, Chief
Executive Officer of CV Sciences. "Our focus on organic growth
through new product development, combined with strategic M&A
opportunities, positions us to enhance top-line revenue and
shareholder value. Throughout 2025, our execution has been
cost-efficient, and our commitment to innovation will diversify our
product portfolio and help navigate the evolving regulatory
landscape in the CBD category. We look forward to building a more
balanced portfolio that drives sustainable growth and
profitability."
Mr. Dowling stated further, "The funding legislation to reopen the
federal government enacted yesterday that included restrictive
language for the hemp industry is disappointing. The restrictive
hemp language will not go into effect for a one-year period from
today. CV Sciences will have an opportunity, along with other
industry participants, to work on a bipartisan basis with members
of Congress to shape a balanced and responsible regulatory
framework that preserves access to hemp-derived, health and
wellness products relied on by millions of consumers across the
United States."

CYTOSORBENTS CORP: Reports $3.2MM Net Loss in 2025 Q3
-----------------------------------------------------
CytoSorbents Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net loss of $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $2.7 million, compared to a net loss of $13.2 million
for the same period in 2024.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
were $9. million and $8.6 million, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $27.8 million and $26.4 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $45.75 million in total
assets, $36.73 million in total liabilities, and $9.02 million in
total stockholders' equity.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $9.1
million in cash, including approximately $7.6 million in
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 million of
non-current restricted cash.
These cash and restricted cash balances considered with the
Company's historical cash used in operations, notwithstanding the
Company's Strategic Workforce and Cost Reduction Plan and the
impact of the Amended Loan and Security Agreement both of which
were announced on November 13, 2025, raises substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within 12
months after the date that the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements are issued.
Amended Loan and Security Agreement
On November 13, 2025, the Company and Avenue Capital Group entered
into the First Amendment to Loan Documents, amending the Company's
Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 28, 2024, as supplemented.
The Amended Loan and Security Agreement provides for access to an
additional aggregate $2.5 million from Avenue Capital Group in
November 2025, and for the extension of the interest only period
from July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026, followed by equal monthly
installments of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest until
maturity on July 1, 2027.
The Company will have access to an additional aggregate $2.5
million from Avenue Capital Group, subject to FDA approval of
DrugSorb-ATR, between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026.
Tranche 2a and Tranche 2b, in the aggregate, replace Tranche 2 of
the Loan. The Amended Loan and Security Agreement requires that the
Company maintain certain operating cash burn targets prior to FDA
approval of DrugSorb-ATR and provides for a further six-month
extension of the interest only period to the July 1, 2027 maturity
date upon FDA approval of DrugSorb-ATR.
Under the terms of the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, the
Company issued additional warrants to Avenue Capital Group to
purchase 1,428,571 shares of the Company's common stock for cash at
the exercise price of $0.70, which expire on November 13, 2030. The
number of warrants and exercise price are fixed.
The Company's expected future capital requirements may depend on
many factors, including expanding the Company's customer base and
sales force, the timing and extent of spending in obtaining
regulatory approval and introduction of new products, including the
potential regulatory approval and introduction of DrugSorb-ATR, in
the U.S. which decision is now expected in mid-2026 and the related
opportunity to receive Tranche 2 (b) of the Amended Avenue Capital
Commitment by December 31, 2026. Additional sources of liquidity
available to the Company include the 2024 Shelf, other public or
private equity offerings, debt financing or from other sources. The
sale of additional equity may result in dilution to shareholders.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure
funding on terms acceptable, or at all. Although the Company has
taken actions to achieve cash flow breakeven, if it does not
achieve this goal, the potential need for capital could also make
it more difficult to obtain funding through either equity or debt.
Should additional capital not become available as needed, the
Company may be required to take certain actions, such as slowing
sales and marketing expansion, delaying further regulatory
approvals, or reducing headcount.
The Company routinely evaluates other financing sources, including
less or non-dilutive debt financing, additional grant funding,
royalty financing, strategic or direct investments, equity
financing, and/or combinations thereof. There can be no assurance
that management will be successful in these endeavors.

operations, has experienced cash used in operations, and has an
accumulated deficit, which raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.
D LASSEN: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to Jan. 7
--------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California,
Oakland Division, granted D Lassen LLC's motion for interim use of
cash collateral.
The court authorized the Debtor's interim use of cash collateral
through January 7, 2026, to pay operating expenses in accordance
with its budget.
As protection, the Debtor must make monthly payments of $40,000 to
the State Bank of Texas, a secured creditor, for November and
December.
The final hearing is scheduled for December 17.
The Debtor needs to use the cash collateral of State Bank of Texas
and other secured creditors to maintain motel operations during
reorganization. The business -- a 104-room Super 8 by Wyndham motel
in Livermore, Calif. -- is owned by Jagmohan and Amandeep Dhillon.
As of the petition date, State Bank of Texas is owed $7,994,483.83.

DARE BIOSCIENCE: Reports $3.6MM Net Loss in 2025 Q3
---------------------------------------------------
Dare Bioscience, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $12 million, compared to a net income of $1.5 million
for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $2,262 and $41,691, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total revenues
of $6,517 and $73,431, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $30.7 million in total
assets, $27.9 million in total liabilities, and $2.8 million in
total stockholders' equity.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $23.1 million and working capital of
approximately $3.8 million.
A majority of the Company's unrestricted cash and cash equivalents
at September 30, 2025 represented funds received under grant
agreements that may be applied solely toward direct costs for the
funded projects under those grant agreements, other than an
approximately 5% to 22% indirect cost allowance, and as of
September 30, 2025, the Company's deferred grant funding liability
was approximately $14.6 million.
The Company will require additional capital to advance the
development programs in its pipeline that are not currently being
supported by non-dilutive grant or other funding, to enable further
investment across its entire portfolio of product candidates, and
to support its long-term operating plans.
Additionally, the Company will continue to evaluate and may pursue
various capital raising options, including sales of equity, debt
financings, government or other grant funding, collaborations,
structured financings, and commercial collaborations or other
strategic transactions.
The Company's ability to obtain additional capital, and the timing
and terms thereof, depend on various factors, many aspects of which
are not entirely within its control, and there can be no assurance
that capital will be available when needed or, if available, on
terms favorable to the Company and its stockholders.
Raising additional capital may cause substantial dilution to the
Company's stockholders, restrict its operations, or require it to
relinquish rights in its technologies or product candidates and
their future revenue streams. If the Company cannot raise capital
when needed, on favorable terms or at all, the Company will need to
reevaluate its planned operations and may need to delay, scale back
or eliminate some or all its product candidate programs and/or
reduce expenses.
The Company has a history of losses from operations, net losses and
negative cash flows from operations.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $187.2 million and the Company incurred a net loss of
approximately $12 million and had negative cash flow from
operations of approximately $11.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2025.
Because the Company is in the early stages of executing against its
Section 503B compounding and consumer health products business
strategies and, as an organization, the Company has no experience
in or infrastructure for commercializing products, both the timing
and amount of potential revenue the Company may generate remain
uncertain.
As a result, the Company may continue to incur significant losses
from operations and negative cash flows from operations for the
next several years, and may never generate sufficient revenues to
finance its operations or achieve profitability.
Based on the Company's current analysis of these conditions, there
is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern within the next 12 months.

EVOKE PHARMA: Reports $1.2 Million Net Loss in 2025 Q3
------------------------------------------------------
Evoke Pharma Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $4 million, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million
for the same period in 2024.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
were $4.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $11.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $15.6 million in total
assets, $12.3 million in total liabilities, and $3.4 million in
total stockholders' equity.
Since inception in 2007, Evoke has funded operations primarily from
the sale of equity securities and borrowings under loan and
security agreements.
On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into a commercial services
agreement (as amended, the "Eversana Agreement") with Eversana for
the commercialization of Gimoti.
Pursuant to the Eversana Agreement, Eversana commercializes and
distributes Gimoti in the United States. Eversana also manages the
marketing of Gimoti to targeted health care providers, as well as
the sales and distribution of Gimoti in the United States.
Under the terms of the Eversana Agreement, the Company maintains
ownership of the Gimoti NDA, as well as legal, regulatory, and
manufacturing responsibilities for Gimoti. Eversana utilizes its
internal sales organization, along with other commercial functions,
for market access, marketing, distribution and other related
patient support services. The Company records sales for Gimoti and
retain more than 80% of net product profits once both parties'
costs are reimbursed.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
approximately$3.6 million and $2.3 million of Eversana profit
sharing costs were included as selling, general and administrative
costs, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025
and 2024, approximately $9.4 million and $5.9 million of Eversana
profit sharing costs were included as selling, general and
administrative costs, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, unreimbursed commercialization costs to
Eversana were approximately $81.1 million.
Such costs will generally be payable only as net product profits
are recognized or upon certain termination events. Eversana
receives reimbursement of its commercialization costs pursuant to
an agreed upon budget and a percentage of product profits in the
mid-to-high teens. Net product profits are the net sales of Gimoti,
less:
(i) reimbursed commercialization costs,
(ii) manufacturing and administrative costs set at a fixed
percentage of net sales, and
(iii) third party royalties.
During the term of the Eversana Agreement, Eversana agreed to not
market, promote, or sell a competing product in the United States.
In connection with the Eversana Agreement, the Company entered into
the Eversana Credit Facility, pursuant to which Eversana agreed to
provide a revolving credit facility of up to $5.0 million to us
upon FDA approval of the Gimoti NDA, as well as certain other
customary conditions. The Eversana Credit Facility terminates on
December 31, 2026, unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms.
The Eversana Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company's
personal property other than its intellectual property.
Under the terms of the Eversana Credit Facility, the Company cannot
grant an interest in its intellectual property to any other person.
Each loan under the Eversana Credit Facility will bear interest at
an annual rate equal to 10.0%, with such interest due at the end of
the loan term. In 2020, the Company borrowed $5.0 million from the
Eversana Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $11.6
million in cash and cash equivalents.
Evoke said, "We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses
from operations due to commercialization activities, including
manufacturing Gimoti, conducting the post-marketing commitment
single-dose PK clinical trial of Gimoti to characterize dose
proportionality of a lower dose strength of Gimoti, and for other
general and administrative costs to support our operations. Both we
and Eversana may terminate the commercial services agreement,
pursuant to the NPQTR; however, we have no intent to terminate the
Eversana Agreement.
"There can be no assurance that Eversana will not exercise its
right pursuant to the NPQTR. Should Eversana exercise its right
under the NPQTR, the Loan Agreement would also be terminated and we
would be responsible for repaying the principal and accrued
interest on the loan, which was $7.5 million as of September 30,
2025, within 90 days of the effective date of the termination. In
addition, we would need to establish a commercial infrastructure in
order to continue distributing Gimoti. The timing and costs
associated with this are not clear, but we believe they would be
substantial."
Proposed Transaction Update:
On November 4, 2025, Evoke announced that it had entered into the
Merger Agreement, pursuant to which QOL Medical's acquisition
subsidiary will commence a tender offer to acquire all outstanding
shares of Evoke at a price of $11.00 per share in cash, subject to
any applicable withholding taxes and without interest thereon. The
transaction, which has been unanimously approved by Evoke's Board
of Directors, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025,
subject to customary conditions, including the tender of a majority
of Evoke's outstanding shares.
Evoke believes this transaction represents a compelling opportunity
for shareholders and underscores the value created by the GIMOTI
franchise. While the Company continues to focus on commercial
execution in the near term, this proposed combination is expected
to further enable growth potential under new leadership and
investment.
Additionally, if the Merger with QOL Medical, LLC is completed or
the Eversana Agreement is terminated, the Company will owe Eversana
an additional $1.0 million. As a result, management believes that
there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern for within the next 12 months.
This would materially and adversely affect the Company's near-term
liquidity needs and cash runway.
"If the Merger is not completed, we anticipate we will be required
to raise additional funds in order to continue as a going concern.
Because our business is entirely dependent on the success of
Gimoti, if we are unable to secure additional financing or identify
and execute on other development or strategic alternatives for
Gimoti or our company, we will be required to curtail all of our
activities and may be required to liquidate, dissolve or otherwise
wind down our operations. Any of these events could result in a
complete loss of your investment in our securities."
There is no assurance that other financing will be available when
needed to allow the Evoke to continue as a going concern. The
perception that it may not be able to continue as a going concern
may cause others to choose not to deal with the Company due to
concerns about its ability to meet contractual obligations.

About Evoke Pharma
Headquartered in Solana Beach, California, Evoke Pharma Inc. --
www.EvokePharma.com -- is a specialty pharmaceutical company
focused primarily on the development of drugs to treat GI disorders
and diseases. The Company developed, commercialized and markets
GIMOTI, a nasal spray formulation of metoclopramide, for the relief
of symptoms associated with acute and recurrent diabetic
gastroparesis in adults. Diabetic gastroparesis is a GI disorder
affecting millions of patients worldwide, in which the stomach
takes too long to empty its contents resulting in serious GI
symptoms as well as other systemic complications. The gastric delay
caused by gastroparesis can compromise absorption of orally
administered medications. Prior to FDA approval to commercially
market GIMOTI, metoclopramide was only available in oral and
injectable formulations and remains the only drug currently
approved in the United States to treat gastroparesis.
San Diego, California-based BDO USA, P.C., the Company's auditor
since 2014, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated March 13, 2025. The report cited that the Company has
experienced continuous losses and negative operating cash flows
since its inception, anticipates ongoing losses in the foreseeable
future, and Eversana Life Science Services, LLC holds the authority
to end the commercial services agreement for the marketing of
Gimoti. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2025, Evoke Pharma had $16.1 million in total
assets, $11.7 million in total liabilities, and $4.4 million in
total stockholders' equity.
FALLS OF BRAEBURN: Hearing Today on Bid to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas is set
to hold a hearing today to consider another extension of Falls of
Braeburn, LLC's authority to use cash collateral.
The Debtor's authority to utilize cash collateral pursuant to the
court's initial order expires on November 28.
The initial order entered on November 7 approved the payment of the
Debtor's operating expenses from the cash collateral in accordance
with its four-week interim budget, covering projected receipts and
disbursements through November 28.
The order granted replacement liens to Computershare Trust Company,
N.A., as trustee for the Wells Fargo 2024-5C1 and 2025-5C3 CMBS
trusts, as adequate protection for any diminution in the value of
its cash collateral.
As of the petition date, the outstanding balance owed to Wells
Fargo under a 2024 loan agreement is approximately $64.5 million.

FTX TRADING: Fenwick & West to Face Added Claims in Crypto MDL
--------------------------------------------------------------
Madison Arnold of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a
Florida federal judge approved new allegations against Fenwick &
West LLP in connection with the collapsed FTX Trading Ltd.,
allowing victims of the cryptocurrency scam to add claims based on
fresh evidence. The plaintiffs say newly unearthed information
sheds light on the law firm’s alleged role in structuring FTX's
complex web of trading vehicles and off-balance-sheet entities.
According to court filings, the revised complaints claim Fenwick &
West provided legal advice that enabled FTX leadership to obscure
financial risks and liabilities from external investors and
regulators. The ruling opens a potential new front in the
multidistrict litigation, putting further pressure on the Silicon
Valley law firm, the report states.
About FTX Trading Ltd.
FTX is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency firm. FTX is a
cryptocurrency exchange built by traders, for traders. FTX offers
innovative products including industry-first derivatives, options,
volatility products and leveraged tokens.
Then CEO and co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said Nov. 10, 2022, that
FTX paused customer withdrawals after it was hit with roughly $5
billion worth of withdrawal requests.
Faced with liquidity issues, FTX on Nov. 9 struck a deal to sell
itself to its giant rival Binance, but Binance walked away from the
deal amid reports on FTX regarding mishandled customer funds and
alleged US agency investigations.
At 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 11, Bankman-Fried ultimately agreed to step
aside, and restructuring vet John J. Ray III was quickly named new
CEO.
FTX Trading Ltd (d/b/a FTX.com), West Realm Shires Services Inc.
(d/b/a FTX US), Alameda Research Ltd. and certain affiliated
companies then commenced Chapter 11 proceedings (Bankr. D. Del.
Lead Case No. 22-11068) on an emergency basis on Nov. 11, 2022.
Additional entities sought Chapter 11 protection on Nov. 14, 2022.
FTX Trading and its affiliates each listed $10 billion to $50
million in assets and liabilities, making FTX the biggest
bankruptcy filer in the US this year. According to Reuters, SBF
shared a document with investors on Nov. 10 showing FTX had $13.86
billion in liabilities and $14.6 billion in assets. However, only
$900 million of those assets were liquid, leading to the cash
crunch that ended with the company filing for bankruptcy.
The Hon. John T. Dorsey is the case judge.
The Debtors tapped Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP as bankruptcy counsel;
Landis Rath & Cobb, LLP as local counsel; and Alvarez & Marsal
North America, LLC as financial advisor. Kroll is the claims agent,

collar crime specialist Mark S. Cohen has reportedly been hired to

GLOBAL ATLANTIC: Fitch Rates New Jr. Subordinated Debt 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a long-term debt rating of 'BB+' to
Global Atlantic Financial Group's (Global Atlantic) new issuance of
junior subordinated debentures maturing in 2055. The notes are
issued out of Global Atlantic (Fin) Company and are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by Global Atlantic Limited (Delaware).
Both Global Atlantic (Fin) Company and Global Atlantic Limited
(Delaware) have 'BBB+' Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs).
Key Rating Drivers
The debentures have been assigned a rating three notches below the
Long-Term IDR, reflecting two notches for subordination and one
notch for minimal non-performance. The notes do not receive equity
credit in the financial leverage calculation under Fitch's rating
criteria. All other Global Atlantic-related ratings are unaffected
by this rating action. Global Atlantic intends to use the proceeds
to refinance outstanding junior subordinated debt due 2051 that
become callable in 2H26, and for general corporate purposes.
Fitch expects financial leverage to be near 30% at YE 2025 but
decline to under 30% by YE 2026. Fitch affirmed all of Global
Atlantic's ratings on Sept. 5, 2025.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- A Prism capital model score of 'Adequate', and financial leverage
maintained above 30%;
- A ROE decline to below 10% on a sustained basis;
- A decline in GAAP fixed-charge coverage ratio below 6x;
- A material increase in investment risk or realized losses that
negatively affects Fitch's view of capital.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- A Prism capital model score solidly in the 'Strong' category and
financial leverage below 25%;
- An improved and diversified business profile demonstrated by
consistent earnings and revenue contributions by business
segments;
- A GAAP fixed-charge coverage sustained above 10x;
- A strong investment performance evidenced by minimal credit
impairments and ability of the company to absorb price volatility
that stems from its illiquid holdings.
Date of Relevant Committee
04-Sep-2025
ESG Considerations
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Todd Neeley of Progressive Farmer reports that Omaha-based
Hansen-Mueller Co. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection,
following reports from farmers across multiple states that they had
not received payments for grain deliveries. The company submitted
its filing to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Nebraska on Monday,
listing estimated liabilities and assets each ranging between $100
million and $500 million, and identifying roughly 1,000 to 5,000
creditors.
The filing includes a list of the company's 20 largest unsecured
creditors. Leading the list is Viterra Canada Inc., owed
approximately $4.7 million, followed by Cargill at $2.6 million;
Agmark LLC in Kansas at $2.1 million; Comark in Oklahoma at $1.3
million; and other regional agribusinesses with claims ranging from
$1 million to $1.2 million. Unsecured creditors, lacking collateral
backing, face the risk of not being repaid, according to report.
In a news release, Hansen-Mueller said it is pursuing a strategic
financial restructuring aimed at addressing its financial
challenges, facilitating asset sales, and maximizing recoveries for
stakeholders. The company also announced plans for a
court-supervised sale process under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code to handle substantially all of its assets. CEO Josh Hansen
said the approach is the "most effective and efficient way to
achieve an orderly sale" and maximize value for creditors,
employees, and stakeholders.
The company added that it intends to continue operating in the
ordinary course, maintaining obligations to employees and key
suppliers during the bankruptcy process. Beyond the 20 largest
unsecured creditors, the filing lists hundreds of additional
creditors, including farms, agribusinesses like Archer Daniels
Midland, and state revenue departments, highlighting the
wide-reaching impact of the company's financial struggles.

HUDSON 1701/1706: Gets Interim OK for DIP Financing From Parkview
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hudson 1701/1706, LLC and Hudson 1702, LLC received interim
approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to obtain debtor-in-possession financing to get through
bankruptcy.
The interim order, signed by Judge Karen Owens, authorized the
Debtors to obtain an initial $12.27 million from their
pre-bankruptcy lender Parkview Financial REIT, LP, which has
committed to provide $32.76 million in senior secured, priming DIP
financing. The remaining $20.49 million will be available upon
entry of a final order.
As protection, Parkview will be granted superpriority
administrative expense claims and liens (including priming liens)
on substantially all estate assets, subject to the fee carveout.
The Debtors may borrow DIP loans from entry of the interim order
until (i) the occurrence of an event of default that is not cured
within the time allotted, if any; (ii) 12 months from the petition
date (as such date may be extended with the prior written consent
of the DIP lender); (iii) the date of consummation of a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors; and (iv) the
effective date of a Chapter 11 plan.
The Debtors are required to comply with the following milestones:
i. Within three days after the execution of a final DIP term
sheet, the Debtors must file a DIP motion, in form and substance
satisfactory to the DIP lender;
ii. No later than three business days after the filing of the DIP
motion, the court must enter an interim DIP order;
iii. No later than 30 calendar days after entry of the interim DIP
order, the court must enter a final DIP order (subject to the
court's availability) in form and substance satisfactory to the DIP
lender; and
iv. Any other milestones which may be agreed upon by the Debtors
and the DIP lender and included in a DIP order.
Use of Cash Collateral
The interim order also authorized the Debtors to use the cash
collateral of Parkview to fund operations.
As adequate protection, Parkview will be granted a valid, perfected
replacement liens on the collateral securing the DIP loan, senior
to all other liens but subject and subordinate to the DIP liens,
DIP superpriority claims and the fee carveout. Parkview is also
entitled to administrative superpriority expense claims.
As of the petition date, the Debtors owed Parkview approximately
$146 million under their pre-bankruptcy loan agreements.
The interim DIP order is available at https://is.gd/v3z2gT from
PacerMonitor.com.
The bankruptcy court will hold a final hearing on December 12.
The Debtors were formed in 2022 to convert a property into a
440-unit multifamily development with commercial amenities. The
construction was originally expected to finish by May 2024 but was
derailed by regulatory disputes with single-room-occupancy tenants,
construction delays, related litigation, and liquidity shortages.
Those problems culminated in a stop-work order issued by the New
York City Department of Buildings and escalating conflicts with the
project's ground lessor, who asserted various defaults under the
99-year ground lease and repeatedly threatened termination based on
construction delays, mechanics' liens, and increased rent
obligations.
The Debtors' financial distress was exacerbated by a November 2024
maturity default under their pre-bankruptcy loan agreements, a July
2025 UCC foreclosure conducted by Parkview, and an $80 million
credit bid through which Parkview acquired all ownership interests
-- later assigning them to its affiliate PV Hudson LLC, now the
Debtors' sole equity holder.
Due to these intertwined regulatory, financial, and operational
pressures, the Debtors filed for Chapter 11 protection on October
22, with approximately $570,000 in cash (all encumbered), no
remaining availability under their pre-bankruptcy credit
facilities, and an urgent need for liquidity to fund ongoing
operations and the administrative costs of restructuring.
Before the filing, Parkview extended a $1 million emergency advance
through a cash collateral agreement but that short-term
accommodation would be superseded by the proposed DIP financing.
The Debtors report pre-bankruptcy secured obligations of roughly
$146 million outstanding under the Building Loan and Project Loan,
both fully secured by substantially all assets. Because Parkview
would not consent to third-party financing on priming or pari passu
terms, and no outside lender was willing to extend unsecured or
junior DIP financing, the Debtors determined after consultation
with advisors that Parkview's proposal represented the only viable
and value-preserving option.

HUGHES SATELLITE: Faces Cash Crunch
-----------------------------------
Advanced Television reports that EchoStar-owned Hughes Satellite
Systems has acknowledged that it lacks sufficient funding to
sustain operations over the next 12 months. The company faces a
$1.5 billion debt obligation due in August 2026 and has indicated
that Chapter 11 bankruptcy may be a potential option. Hughes
reported its financial situation in an SEC filing on November 14,
2025 highlighting the mounting pressure from its upcoming
liabilities.
Hughes also faces challenges with its Jupiter 3 Ka-band satellite,
also known as EchoStar 24, which launched in December 2023. The
satellite currently serves 783,000 subscribers, and Hughes pays
EchoStar $190 million annually to lease capacity. The filing notes
that the company's assets are declining and that the costs
associated with the satellite are significant, according to
report.
Complicating matters further, the recent $17 billion spectrum sale
by EchoStar to SpaceX creates obligations to transfer existing
HughesNet subscribers to Starlink. SpaceX also has options to
acquire satellites and regulatory assets from Hughes and EchoStar.
Hughes holds $119 million in cash and receivables but continues to
face a $1.5 billion debt due next 2026, with no assurance of
additional liquidity from its parent company. The filing warns of
substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a
going concern, the report states.

certain secured claims already satisfied and priority non-tax
claims, are not eligible to vote, according to report.
Ballots must be returned to Verita Global, the court-appointed
tabulator, at least 14 days prior to the confirmation hearing, and
objections to the plan are due by the same deadline. If approved,
the plan will finalize IPI's wind-down and distribute remaining
assets through a liquidating trust. IPI operated a Saipan casino
from 2016 until its closure in March 2020 due to the pandemic and
filed for Chapter 11 on April 19, 2024, with liabilities exceeding
$165.8 million. Team King Investment (CNMI) LLC purchased IPI's

The debt is issued at the DBR Land Holdings LLC level. Fitch has
assigned the new revolving credit facility (RCF) a 'BBB-' issue
rating with an 'RR1' Recovery Rating (RR) and the proposed
unsecured notes are assigned a 'BB'/'RR4' issue rating.
The rating reflects the issuer's high EBITDA margin, high FCF
conversion and reasonable leverage. This is offset by a
concentrated regional and customer focus and exposure to volume
variability.
Key Rating Drivers
High Margins and Cash Conversion: LandBridge's high margins and
cash conversion are a credit strength. Its royalty-and fee-based
model supports very high EBITDA margins given low operating
expenses. Its minimal capex needs drive substantial positive FCF.
Fitch expects the company to maintain a conservative balance sheet
while using the consistent positive FCF for shareholder
distributions.
Customer Concentration: LandBridge's top three customers
represented 45% of revenue in 1H25 and their credit ratings range
from 'BB-' to 'A'. This concentration increases exposure to
individual counterparties' operating performance.
Exposure to Volume Declines: Revenue is generated at contractually
agreed upon prices. However, most contracts lack minimum volume
commitments (MVCs), which exposes LandBridge to volume declines in
a sustained low commodity price environment. Revenues tied to
ongoing production rather than new development, low breakeven
prices in the Permian Basin, and the addition of new contracts that
include MVCs mitigate this risk. Fitch views this risk as
manageable within the rating.
Reasonable Leverage: Management's net leverage ratio target of
2.0x-2.5x is supportive of the rating. Leverage is currently above
this range following the recent 1918 Ranch acquisition but there is
a clear path to return to the targeted range. Fitch forecasts
leverage will remain within the target range throughout the
forecast period. Fitch expects the issuer to be acquisitive with a
financing approach structured to maintain a conservative balance
sheet.
Underlying Land Value: LandBridge owns around 300,000 acres in the
Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico and seeks revenue generating
opportunities from E&P, midstream, power, renewables, and other
customers. Applying the per-acre price from the 1918 Ranch
transaction implies a value of roughly $2 billion for the acreage,
providing additional support to the credit profile beyond fee and
royalty income.
Peer Analysis
LandBridge's scale is towards the smaller end of the range for
similarly rated midstream, oil field service and oil and gas
royalty companies. However, its business model generates
substantially higher margins and FCF conversion than most peers
with the exception of Getty Realty Corp. (BBB-/Stable) and Viper
Energy Inc. (BBB-/Stable). Leverage is aligned with the 'BB' rating
but higher than most peers except Getty.
LandBridge is less exposed to commodity pricing and volatility than
the midstream, oil field service, and royalty peers, which enables
it to maintain higher leverage at similar ratings. Compared to land
management peer Getty Realty, LandBridge's exposure to oil and gas
leads to the potential for higher revenue volatility. Despite lower
leverage than Getty Realty, this volatility drives LandBridge's
lower rating.
Key Assumptions
- Strong volume growth in 2025 and 2026 due to the 1918 Ranch
acquisition and increasing revenue/acre before moderating to low to
mid-single digit growth;
- Unit fee and royalty revenues generally flat;
- Oil and gas royalties derived from declining volumes and using
Fitch Oil & Gas Price Deck;
- Modest dividend growth over the forecast;
- FCF used for revolver repayment and general corporate purposes.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- EBITDA leverage sustained above 3x;
- Material sustained volume declines;
- Capital allocation changes, leading to lower FCF after share
buybacks.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- Increased EBITDA scale and/or cashflow diversification away from
the oil and gas industry;
- EBITDA leverage sustained below 2x.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Pro Forma for the proposed refinancing transaction, will have
around $10 million in cash on the balance sheet and $208 million
available under the new $275 RCF. Fitch expects LandBridge to have
consistently positive FCF, which will be used to repay the revolver
borrowings and execute share buybacks. There are no near-term
maturities.
Issuer Profile
LandBridge owns and actively manages around 300,000 surface acres
in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico. It provides access to
surface acreage for oil and gas development, data centers, solar
power generation, power storage, non-hazardous oilfield reclamation
and solid waste facilities.

ESG Considerations
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

LANDMARK RECOVERY: Unsecureds Will Get 100% of Claims in Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Landmark Recovery of Colorado, LLC, and Landmark Recovery of
Arkansas, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Tennessee a Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
dated November 18, 2025.
The Debtors provide addiction treatment for drugs and alcohol, on
an inpatient basis. The typical patient stay is 30 days. All of
Debtors' patients are admitted on a voluntary basis.
Landmark Recovery of Colorado leases two properties from Sabra. The
first property is located at 2000 S. Blackhawk St. in Aurora, CO.
The second property is located at 4145 Briargate Parkway in
Colorado Springs, CO. The property is approximately 28,791 square
feet.
Landmark Recovery of Arkansas leases one property from Sabra. The
property is located at 12 Hospital Drive in Morrilton, AR. The
property is approximately 30,579 square feet. It consists of 30
patient rooms accommodating 75 patients, various offices, group
therapy rooms, common areas, and an outdoor recreation area.
The Debtors are profitable. Including management fees to Alsos
Behavioral Management, and including rent payments to their
landlords, Debtors have net income of approximately $500,000 per
month each for the Colorado and Arkansas Debtors. Debtors did not
file bankruptcy due to financial distress on a stand-alone basis.
Rather, Debtors filed bankruptcy because their landlords, Sabra
Health Care Holdings III, LLC ("Sabra HCH") and MLD Properties LLC
("MLD," together with Sabra HCH, "Sabra") purported to terminate
Debtors' leases. Debtors believed that these purported terminations
were improper and that Debtors could cure and assume any lease
defaults with Sabra. Those issues are the subject of Sabra's Motion
for Relief from the Stay, which is set for hearing before the Court
on January 12, 2026.
The Debtors have filed all required monthly operating reports. As
is shown in the monthly operating reports, Debtors are profitable.
As of the date of the filing of the Plan, the Debtors'
Debtor-in-Possession bank account contains approximately $4.2
million.
Class 4 consists of General Unsecured Claims. Class 4 consists of
all Allowed Claims against the Debtors that are not Secured or
Priority Claims or included in any other Class. It includes Sabra's
claim, to the extent of any allowed deficiency claim above the
secured claim (if any). Each Holder of an Allowed Class 4 Claim
shall be paid, in full, on the later of the Effective Date or
within 30 days after allowance. This Class will receive a
distribution of 100% of their allowed claims.
The Debtors' membership interests, as of the Petition Date, were
100% held by Landmark Recovery of Louisville, LLC. In return for a
payment of $1,000,000 to Debtors on the Effective Date, the Plan
proposes that Alsos Behavioral Health LLC be made the 100%
membership interest holder in Debtors. Alsos Behavioral Health LLC
is an entity whose members are Matthew Boyle and Farmington LP,
which is owned by Clifford Boyle.
The Debtors shall use cash on hand accrued during the case, plus
the payment from Alsos Behavioral Health LLC in the amount of
$1,000,000, to satisfy all Allowed Claims.

LAUREL CREEK II: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to Feb. 19, 2026
------------------------------------------------------------------
Laurel Creek, LP, II asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California to extend its exclusivity periods to
file a plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to
February 19, 2026 and April 15, 2026, respectively.
The Debtor believes the path to reorganization is a sale of the
Property as it is the Debtor's sole asset. Since the filing of the
case, the Debtor has worked towards completing the Property for
sale by first acquiring the DIP Loan. As a matter of efficiency, as
all parties are in communication, extending the Plan Deadlines is
in the best interest of the Debtor and its creditors.
The Debtor explains that it has made progress toward reorganization
and has done so in good faith. The Debtor proposed a disclosure
statement and plan and set the same for a hearing on December 3,
2025 in the pending Laurel Creek, LP matter 9:25-bk-10985-RC. A
motion was filed for DIP financing and continued to December 10,
2025 in that same matter. Both motions will affect this case.
This is the Debtor's first request for an extension of the Plan
Deadlines and is proceeding in good faith. The Debtor has work
diligently since the filing of the case to obtain the required
post-petition funding and complete the required repairs. The Debtor
has made progress toward reorganization will continue to move
diligently toward a successful reorganization without delay.
The Debtor asserts that it is not requesting an extension of the
Plan Deadlines as a tactical device to force creditors to accept a
proposed plan. The Debtor will propose what it believes to be fair
and equitable terms for payment of creditors' claims. The extension
of time is not to pressure any creditor to submit to any
reorganization demands; the extension is simply a mechanism to
place the Property in a position to be repaired and then the Debtor
can propose a fair and equitable distribution.

LMD HOLDINGS: Affiliates Get Interim OK for DIP Loan
----------------------------------------------------
Luca Mariano Distillery, LLC and Luca Mariano Holdings, LLC
received interim approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan to obtain debtor-in-possession
financing to support their operations during bankruptcy.
The Debtors, both affiliates of LMD Holdings Inc., received the
approval at a hearing where the bankruptcy court also granted them
interim authority to use cash collateral.
The DIP financing consists of a $1.5 million superpriority,
multi-draw facility from SummitBridge National Investments VIII,
LLC, with up to $450,000 available on an interim basis.
The financing includes a $600,000 roll-up of pre-bankruptcy secured
debt and requires strict compliance with weekly CRO-certified
reporting and the approved budget, subject to a 10% cumulative cash
flow variance.
To secure their obligations under the DIP financing, the Debtors
offer to grant SummitBridge priming, first-priority, perfected
liens and superpriority administrative claims on substantially all
estate property, subject to limited exceptions.
The DIP liens would attach automatically upon entry of the interim
order and would include priming liens on all pre-bankruptcy
collateral, first-priority liens on unencumbered assets and land
contracts, and junior liens on assets already subject to valid
senior third-party liens. Professional fees for the CRO and
Debtors' counsel may be funded weekly from DIP proceeds, consistent
with the budget.
As part of the deal, the Debtors have agreed to a number of case
milestones, including the prompt filing of motions for joint
administration, retention of the chief restructuring officer,
initiation of an investigation into transfers made to affiliates
(Viola Holdings and Versatrans), commencement of any necessary
avoidance litigation, and the filing and approval of a sale motion
and bid procedures.
The milestones require an auction within approximately 90 days of
the petition date and a closing within 120 days, at which point all
DIP and pre-bankruptcy obligations to SummitBridge must be paid in
full in cash.
Events of default include failure to meet milestones, noncompliance
with any DIP document or budget, entry of adverse court orders,
unauthorized financing efforts, or loss of the CRO.
Because they lack sufficient unencumbered cash and were unable to
obtain financing on an unsecured, junior-lien, or
administrative-priority basis, the Debtors see the DIP financing
offered by SummitBridge as the only viable option to sustain
operations and pursue an orderly sale.
SummitBridge is the Debtors' sole secured creditor, which holds
first-priority liens on virtually all pre-bankruptcy assets,
including the Debtors' cash. As of the petition date, the Debtors
owed SummitBridge, as successor to Truist Bank, more than $25
million.
A final hearing is scheduled for December 16.

each ranging from $1 million to $10 million.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Scott C. Clarkson handles the case.

MILWAUKEE FORGE: Court OKs Sale of Company
------------------------------------------
Graham Kilmer of Urban Milwaukee reports that Milwaukee Forge, a
112-year-old Bay View manufacturer, is being sold to a
politically-connected ownership group for $4.6 million. The
company, located at 1532 E. Oklahoma Ave., was placed in
receivership earlier this year after creditors reported more than
$9.3 million in outstanding liabilities, including bank loans and
unpaid invoices.
The buyer, operating as Milwaukee Forgetech, Inc., is linked to
Phillip Prange of Waukesha, a former lobbyist and co-founder of
WisPolitics. Prange is married to Alison Prange, former COO of the
2024 Republican National Convention host committee and managing
director at Michael Best Strategies. The company provides
heat-treating and forging services from a 132,000-square-foot
facility on an eight-acre property in Bay View, the report states.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Thomas J. McAdams placed the
company under a court-appointed receiver, attorney Michael Polsky,
in March 2025. Operations continued initially, with CEO Dave Mesick
assuring employees that business would remain unchanged. By June,
however, the company announced layoffs of 67 workers due to
operational delays, according to report.
Polsky first attempted to sell the business at auction without
success before seeking approval to sell to Milwaukee Forgetech,
which the court granted on November 13, 2025. City and county
leaders supported the sale to preserve jobs, and the new owners

MISSION MEDICAL: Court OKs Deal to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California,
Los Angeles Division, approved a stipulation between Mission
Medical Investors, LLC and its secured creditor, Banc of
California, regarding the use of cash collateral.
The court authorized receiver Kevin Singer, who was previously
appointed to manage the Laguna Niguel property, to use cash
collateral to make monthly adequate protection payments to the bank
of $96,763.50, or a lower amount if funds are insufficient after
accounting for receivership expenses.
Banc of California made a loan to Mission Medical in the original
principal sum of $14.17 million in March 2022. The loan is secured
by a deed of trust, which encumbers the real property located at
27882 Forbes Road, Laguna Niguel, California, and all rents issues
and profits generated by the property.
The stipulation is available at https://is.gd/FDTNaM from

MK ARCHITECTURE: Updates Unsecured Claims Pay Details
-----------------------------------------------------
MK Architecture PC submitted an Amended Small Business Plan of
Reorganization under Subchapter V dated November 18, 2025.
Since the filing, the Debtor has continued in the management of its
property as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to Sections 1107 and
1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
While the Debtor's operations will not result in the full payment
of Allowed Claims, it will result in at least as much of a recovery
by holders of Allowed Claims as they would receive if the Debtor
were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor
will pay TD directly on its Secured Claim.
In addition, the Debtor proposes to fund the Plan with $1,500.00
per month from operations for a period of 36 months. It will make
distributions under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims in
installments of no less frequent than quarterly. Because the
Debtor's revenue tends to fluctuate, installments on a quarterly
basis is more feasible than monthly.
Class 4 shall consist of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims
including the Claim of the SBA in the amount of $158,956.74. The
SBA's Claim will be treated solely as an Unsecured Claim under
Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and receive Distributions
from the Plan Fund. Class 4 shall also include the Unsecured
Portion of the Landlord's Claim as Allowed under the Landlord
Settlement.
Holders of Class 4 Claims consist of the SBA and the Landlord. The
Holders of Class 4 Unsecured Claims will receive distribution on a
pro rata basis in quarterly installments of $3,859.00 from the Plan
Fund beginning in month 23 of the Plan through the 36th and final
month of the Plan. The holders of Class 4 Claims are Impaired.
The Plan will be funded primarily with all of the Debtor's
Disposable Income projected for the next five years. The Debtor has
projected its Disposable Income to be approximately $4,500.00 per
quarter ($1,500.00 per month). The projections reflect the
seasonality of the Debtor’s business.
The Disposable Income will be placed by the Debtor into the Plan
Fund which shall be maintained in a segregated bank account. The
Plan Fund and Plan will be funded with approximately $54,000.00 in
total.

MODIVCARE INC: Heads Toward Disputed Chapter 11 Plan Hearing
------------------------------------------------------------
Clara Geoghegan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that
healthcare services and technology group Modivcare is preparing for
a potentially contentious Chapter 11 plan confirmation hearing
scheduled for December 2025 in Texas. The company is seeking
approval for a restructuring plan centered on a $1 billion
debt-for-equity swap, a proposal that has drawn significant
pushback from unsecured creditors.
According to court filings, the creditor group argues that the swap
would disproportionately benefit senior stakeholders while leaving
junior creditors with insufficient recovery. The upcoming hearing
is expected to determine whether the restructuring framework can
move forward despite the objections.

ORION MENTAL: Unsecureds Will Get 100% of Claims over 46 Months
---------------------------------------------------------------
Orion Mental Health Center LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of Florida a Disclosure Statement
describing Plan of Reorganization dated November 18, 2025.
The Debtor, a Florida for profit corporation, was founded in
December 2017. The Debtor's office is located at 1460 NW 107th
Avenue Suite N, Sweetwater FL 33172. Debtor is a mental health
center that provides counseling services.
As defined by Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Lazaro Chepe,
as Manager and 100% owner of the Debtor is an insider of the
Debtor. In one year prior to filing of this bankruptcy case, Mr.
Chepe received $69,535.00 from payroll and $69,541.64 from
distribution for a total of $139,076.65 in income from the Debtor.
The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) conducted
an audit for calendar years 2020, 2021, and 2022 and as a result
determined that the Debtor received overpayments for Medicaid
reimbursements of $182,858.58 ("the Audit Claim"), and demanded
payment immediately, threatening to hold back payments.
The Plan contains one class of creditors: the unsecured class,
consisting of five claims, which will be paid 100% over 46 months,
Genesis Medical Provider for $3,900.00, Leaf Prior Service for
$128.24, Stericycle Inc. for $182.04, Polsinelli Lawyer Group for
$15,383.00, and AHCA for $136,927.55.
The AHCA claim will be paid $3,000.00 a month through the Plan
according to the agreement. Additionally, the IRS filed a proof of
claim for $11,472.21 (POC 2-1), based on estimated FICA wage taxes,
which have not been assessed, and the Debtor filed an objection to
because the Debtor had no employees during that period, rendering
it impossible to pay FICA wage taxes. The Debtor seeks to strike
the claim entirely.
Class 1 consists of General Unsecured Creditors. The total amount
of the Allowed Unsecured Claims included in Class 1 is $156,520.83.
There are three unsecured claims, for vendors, held by Genesis,
Leaf, and Stericycle. There is one unsecured claim for legal fees
owed to Polsinelli. There is one unsecured claim for the settlement
with AHCA.
The Plan provides for 100% payment over 46 months, with monthly
payments of $3,425.94 from months 1 to 46. Since the creditors are
being paid 100% of their claims, comparison of the amount of
payment to the amounts that holders of the Allowed Unsecured Claims
would receive in a hypothetical liquidation (estimated by Debtor at
$0) in and under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (See Liquidation
Analysis) is irrelevant.
Payments and distributions under the Plan will be funded by income
received in the ordinary course of business from fees paid to
Debtor by Medicare for services rendered in mental health services
and targeted case management for Debtor's clients as shown in the
attached Projections.

OUT THE GATE: Gets Interim OK to Obtain DIP Loan From Plannatech
----------------------------------------------------------------
Out the Gate, Inc. received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to obtain
post-petition financing to get through bankruptcy.
The interim order, signed by Judge Karen Owens, authorized the
Debtor to obtain an initial $907,567 from Plannatech (USA)
Corporation, which has committed to provide up to $6.5 million in
superpriority, senior secured debtor-in-possession financing. The
remaining $5,592,433 will be available upon entry of a final order.
The Debtor said the financing provides meaningful benefits to the
estate because it contains no roll-up of Plannatech's
pre-bankruptcy debt; imposes no unused commitment, agent or exit
fees; permits interest to be paid in kind at below-market rates;
and does not require payment of the lender's professional fees
incurred in the negotiation and approval process.
As protection, Plannatech will be granted superpriority
administrative expense status, priming and replacement liens on
substantially all property (subject to customary carveouts and
exclusions), and, upon final approval, liens on avoidance action
proceeds.
The DIP facility is due and payable on the earliest of:
1. The date that is 150 calendar days after the closing date;
2. The effective date of any Chapter 11 plan for any DIP loan
party;
3. The date of acceleration or termination of the DIP facility
in accordance with the terms of the DIP credit agreement; and
4. The date of consummation of a sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all assets of the Debtor, taken as a whole,
under 11 U.S.C. section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtor is required to comply with these milestones:
1. No later than November 12, the Chapter 11 case must have
commenced;
2. No later than one calendar day after the petition date, the
Debtor must have filed a motion, reasonably acceptable to the DIP
lender, seeking approval of bid procedures in respect of a sale of
the Debtor's assets;
3. No later than the date that is five business days after the
petition date, the bankruptcy court must have entered the interim
order;
4. No later than the date that is 35 calendar days after the
petition date, the bankruptcy court must have entered (i) the final
order and (ii) an order approving the bidding procedures motion;
5. No later than the date that is 67 calendar days after the
petition date, the bid deadline provided for under the bidding
procedures motion must have occurred;
6. No later than the date that is 77 calendar days after the
petition date, the bankruptcy court must have entered an order
approving the sale) contemplated by the bidding procedures motion;
7. No later than the date that is 85 calendar days after the
petition date, the Section 363 sale must have been consummated; and
8. No later than 150 calendar days after the petition date, the
Debtor must have either confirmed a plan or obtained the structured
dismissal of the bankruptcy case.
Use of Cash Collateral
The interim order also authorized the Debtor to use the cash
collateral of Plannatech and another pre-bankruptcy secured
creditor, Neapeg Investment Limited Partners.
As adequate protection, Plannatech and Neapeg will be granted a
valid, perfected replacement security interest in and lien on all
of the collateral securing the DIP loan, senior to all other liens
but subject and subordinate only to the DIP liens and the fee
carveout.
Both secured creditors are also entitled to an allowed
superpriority administrative expense claim, subject and subordinate
to the carveout.
Prior to the petition date, the Debtor borrowed money on a secured
basis from Neapeg and
Plannatech. The Debtor owed $46,965,245 and $3,978,647 to Neapeg
and Plannatech, respectively.
The interim DIP order is available at https://is.gd/ydMsuQ from
PacerMonitor.com.
The final hearing is set for December 11. The deadline for filing
objections is on December 4.
Out the Gate filed for bankruptcy protection with only $137,000 in
unrestricted cash -- an amount wholly insufficient to meet payroll,
pay vendors, fund professional fees, or continue regulatory
compliance and wagering operations. The Debtor has historically
operated at a loss due to the volatile nature of sports betting,
inconsistent weekly revenues, and two early-stage market access
agreements that locked the Debtor into above-market rates.
As of the petition date, the Debtor carries approximately $51
million in funded debt, including secured debt owed to Plannatech
and a large secured facility held by Neapeg. After months of
liquidity strain and increasing cash-flow volatility, the Debtor
urgently requires additional liquidity to avoid immediate and
irreparable harm, maintain customer-facing operations, and preserve
value while pursuing a Section 363 sale of all or substantially all
assets.

PANDORA MARKETING: Amends Stephanie Kaitz Claim Pay
---------------------------------------------------
Charles (Chip) Hoebeke, the Chapter 11 Trustee, submitted an
Amended Disclosure Statement describing First Amended Plan of
Liquidation for Pandora Marketing, LLC dated November 19, 2025.
The Trustee estimates that Holders of Allowed Class VI Claims that
are not Excluded Claims will receive a distribution of
approximately 35% of their Allowed Claims to be distributed pro
rata over the three-year life of the plan, without interest.
The Debtor is liquidating and not continuing to operate. Under the
Plan, all of the Debtor's assets (defined in the Plan as the "Trust
Assets") will be transferred to the Liquidation Trust on the
Effective Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and Liquidation
Trust, Chip (Charles) Hoebeke, the current Chapter 11 Trustee, will
serve as the Trustee of the Liquidation Trust and will be charged
with pursuing and liquidating the Trust Assets and making
disbursements under the Plan. This will allow for a smooth
transition of information and familiarity from the Debtor to the
Liquidation Trust, as Mr. Hoebeke will continue on as the fiduciary
in charge of pursuing and liquidating the Trust Assets.
Mr. Hoebeke, as Liquidation Trustee of the Liquidation Trust, will
focus primarily on (i) investigating, pursuing, collecting,
abandoning and/or settling the Trade Receivables and Related Entity
Receivables, (ii) investigating, pursuing, liquidating, abandoning,
or monetizing the Debtor's ownership interests in, or other rights
against, the various Investment Entities, (iii) investigating,
pursuing, collecting, abandoning and/or settling Preference
Actions, fraudulent conveyance claims, or other Chapter 5 Causes of
Action, (iv) investigating, pursuing, collecting, abandoning,
and/or settling non-bankruptcy Causes of Action.
Any proceeds received by the Liquidation Trustee as the result of
his liquidation of assets will be used by the Liquidation Trustee
to first pay the post-confirmation costs and fees associated with
administration of the Liquidation Trust, including professional
fees to pursue Causes of Action and other wind down expenses, and
then to creditors in their order of priority as determined by the
Bankruptcy Code.
Under the Plan, all equity interests in the Debtor will be
cancelled as of the Effective Date.
Class V consists of the Claim of Stephanie Kaitz filed at Proof of
Claim 3-1. Ms. Kaitz' alleges in her Proof of Claim that she is
entitled to a Priority Claim under Section 507(a)(4) of the
Bankruptcy Code for wages, salaries or commissions earned within
180 days before the Petition Date. However, the documents Ms. Kaitz
attached to her Proof of Claim shows that her claim is based on her
employment with the Debtor which terminated on March 10, 2020,
almost four years before the Petition Date. The Trustee anticipates
that the Liquidation Trustee will file an objection to Ms. Kaitz
proof of claim because her claim for wages, salaries and
compensation is outside of the 180 window and her Claim is not
entitled to priority under Section 507(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy
Code.
In the event the Liquidation Trustee's objection to Ms. Kaitz'
Proof of Claim is sustained, Ms. Kaitz claim will be treated as an
Allowed Unsecured Claim entitled to payment under section 3.6.
In the event the Liquidation Trustee's objection to Ms. Kaitz'
Proof of Claim is overruled or Ms. Kaitz is otherwise determined to
be entitled to Priority under section 507(a)(4), the Allowed
Priority Claim will be paid by the Liquidation Trust, as
applicable, within thirty days of entry of an Order of the Court
allowing the Claim.
Like in the prior iteration of the Plan, each holder of an Allowed
Class VI General Unsecured Claim shall be paid from the Liquidation
Trust its Pro Rata Share of the Distributable Cash remaining, if
any, after all Groups and Classes with Allowed Claims of a higher
priority under Section 507 of the Bankruptcy Code have been paid in
full.
Any proceeds received by the Liquidation Trustee from the
liquidation of Trust Assets will be used by the Liquidation Trustee
to first pay the post-confirmation costs and fees associated with
administration of the Liquidation Trust, including professional
fees to pursue Causes of Action and other wind down expenses, and
then to creditors in their order of priority as determined by the
Bankruptcy Code.
The Trustee believes that the Debtor will have enough cash on hand
on the Effective Date of the Plan to pay all the Claims and
expenses that are entitled to be paid on that date.
The Liquidation Trustee's ability to make future Plan payments will
be dependent on his ability to collect Trade Receivables and
Related Party Receivables and to monetize Causes of Action, which
is very difficult to predict. As a result, the amount of funds that
will ultimately be available for distribution to Creditors is
unknown. However, the Trustee estimates that he will be in a
position to distribute approximately $2,700,000 to Unsecured
Creditors with Allowed Claims over the life of the Plan.

PAWLUS DENTAL: Amends Unsecured Claims Details
----------------------------------------------
Pawlus Dental, Inc., submitted a Second Amended Small Business
Chapter 11 Plan dated November 18, 2025.
Pawlus owns and operates a dental office. The business continues to
operate.
The length of the Plan is three years from the Effective Date of
the Plan.
All Claims arising from the past or present debt of the Debtor
shall be bound by the provisions of this Plan. This Plan combines
the classification, allowance, and treatment of Claims.
Class 8 consists of General Unsecured Claims. General Unsecured
Claims shall include any Asserted Secured Creditors' deficiency

Allowed Unsecured Claims. General Unsecured Claims include any
merchant cash advance ("MCA") party's claim that holds a claim

timely file a claim shall not have an Allowed Claim.
The General Unsecured Claims shall receive an annual pro rata
distribution of the disposable income of the Debtor commencing on
or before October 2026, for the prior twelve months and continuing

PCP GROUP: Claims to be Paid from Available Cash & Sale Proceeds
----------------------------------------------------------------
PCP Group, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of New York a Disclosure Statement with respect to
Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation dated November 18, 2025.
The Debtor is in the business of producing and selling 'Pellon',
which is a branded product known as "The Magic in the Middle" for
all types of home sewing, quilting, crafting and fiber art
projects.
Jo-Ann, Inc. has historically been the Debtor's largest customer
account and provides a significant portion of the Debtor's revenue
and cash flow. Although Jo-Ann indicated its expectation to operate
normally during the restructuring process, PCP Group experienced
significant delays in payment of outstanding receivables. As a
result, the Debtor sought short term financing through certain
merchant cash advance companies ("MCAs").
The Debtor was unable to sustain operations with the amount being
taken by the MCAs and ended up in default. Having multiple MCAs
itself constituted a default which was immediate upon the receipt
of funds. Certain of the MCAs took action by restraining funds due
from the Debtor's customers. One such MCA-Vox Funding LLC
restrained the amounts due from Jo-Ann. Another MCA –
CloudFunding, LLC restrained funds due from Walmart.
The Debtor filed its petition to try to address the restraints
placed on its accounts by Vox and CloudFunding.
The Plan provides for the payment of the Debtor's creditors, from
the Available Cash, the Liquidating Debtor's continued operation of
the business, as well as the sale of the Debtor's assets as a going
concern. Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtor will pay all Secured
Claims, Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Claims, and General
Unsecured Claims in full.
The Debtor expects to go effective under the Plan as soon as
practicable. Once the Confirmation Order becomes a final order, the
Liquidating Debtor expects to commence distribution in accordance
with the Plan. Distributions will commence not later than sixty
days after the Confirmation Order becomes final.
The primary sources of the Available Cash used to fund the Plan are
profits the Debtor intends to earn from operating its business and
from the proceeds of the sale of the Debtor's business assets.
Class 5 consists of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Class 5
Claims are impaired under the Plan. On the Effective Date, or as
soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Liquidating
Debtor shall make the Initial Unsecured Creditor Distribution to
the holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims, which shall be distributed
on a pro rata basis to such holders. Beginning on the last business
day of the first full quarter following confirmation of the Plan,
holders of Allowed Class 5 Claims shall receive Quarterly
Distributions from Available Cash on account of their claims until
such claims are paid in full.
Class 8 consists of all Interests and Claims by interest holders
other than Former Member Claims and Member Loan Claims. Equity
interests in the Debtor are unaffected by the Plan. Class 8
consists of the membership interests in the Debtor and of the
Claims asserted by members for what appear to be distributions from
the Debtor on account of such member’s equity position.
The Debtor does not believe these Claims are valid or to be
asserted against the Debtor as the Debtor has not issued any
distributions to its members. The Debtor is selling its assets as a
going concern. Provided that Proceeds of the Sale are sufficient to
pay all senior Classes of Allowed Claims in full, Interest holders
shall receive payment on account of such interests pursuant to the
Debtor’s Operating Agreement.
The Plan Administrator will establish the Distribution Fund and
will deposit from the estate the Funds for such account. The
Distribution Fund shall be used to pay the post-Confirmation Date
expenses of the estate, including the fees and expenses of the
Liquidating Debtor or the Plan Administrator (for implementing and
administering the Plan), and its professionals.

PET RINSE: Gets Final OK to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri
issued a final order authorizing Pet Rinse Repeat, LLC to use cash
collateral of its secured lender, Arvest Equipment Finance.
The final order authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral to pay
its expenses in accordance with its budget, which projects total
monthly operational expenses of $57,121.88.
Arvest Equipment Finance, a secured creditor, will be provided with
protection in the form of a replacement lien on property acquired
by the Debtor after its Chapter 11 filing that is similar to its
pre-bankruptcy collateral, and monthly payments totaling $6,167.88
for the three separate loans it obtained from the secured
creditor.
In addition, Arvest will be granted an administrative expense claim
if collateral value diminishes beyond the protection of the
replacement liens.
The Debtor's members Amy Ramatowski and Vernon Doku will each
receive $3,750 per month for October and November, and once the
effective date occurs, each will earn a salary of $72,000 per
year.
Arvest asserts a first priority security interest in and liens on
the Debtor's assets, including, but not limited to, cash, bank
accounts and accounts receivable, which constitute its cash
collateral. As of the petition date, Arvest is owed $310,976.79 by
the Debtor.

PINE GATE RENEWABLES: Gets Interim OK for DIP Financing
-------------------------------------------------------
Pine Gate Renewables, LLC and its affiliates received interim
approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of Texas to obtain post-petition financing to get through
bankruptcy.
The interim order, signed by Judge Christopher Lopez, authorized
the Debtors to obtain an initial $55.36 million from various
lenders under three separate agreements. The lenders, associated
with Fundamental Renewables, Brookfield Asset Management, and The
Carlyle Group, have committed to provide approximately $1.66
billion in superpriority senior secured, multi-draw, delayed draw
DIP term loan financing.
The $55.36 million loan consists of $17.5 million under the
Brookfield DIP facility, $16.6 million under the Carlyle DIP
facility, and $21.3 million under the Fundamental DIP facility.
The interim order also authorized the Debtors to roll up
approximately $800 million in pre-bankruptcy debt. The approval
follows the court's prior rejection of the Debtors' request to roll
up $1.4 billion on an interim basis.
As protection, the DIP lenders will be granted valid, non-avoidable
and automatically perfected security interests and liens on assets
securing the DIP loans and an allowed
superpriority administrative expense claim.
The DIP loans are due and payable on the earliest of:
(a) March 31, 2026;
(b) The effective date of a Chapter 11 plan;
(c) The consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Debtors pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code or otherwise;
(d) The date of termination of the DIP lenders' commitments and
the acceleration of any outstanding DIP loans;
(e) Dismissal or conversion of any of the Chapter 11 cases into
cases under Chapter 7;
(f) The date that is 30 days after the petition date, or such
later date as agreed by the DIP lenders, unless the final DIP order
has been entered by the court on or prior to such date.
The Debtors are required to comply with certain milestones
including (i) entry of a final DIP order no later than 30 days
after November 6; (ii) entry of an order approving the sale no
later than December 23; and (ii) consummation of the sale no later
than December 31.
Bid Administrator, LLC; Wilmington Trust, National Association; and
FP Solar Development I, LLC serve as the DIP agents for the
Brookfield, Carlyle, and Fundamental DIP facilities, respectively.
Use of Cash Collateral
The interim order also authorized the Debtors to use the cash
collateral of pre-bankruptcy secured creditors from November 11
until the DIP termination date.
As adequate protection, pre-bankruptcy secured creditors will be
granted replacement security interest in and lien on the applicable
collateral securing the DIP loans, subject and subordinate to the
fee carveout and DIP liens. They are also entitled to an allowed
administrative expense claim, subject to the carveout and DIP
superpriority claims.
The interim DIP order is available at https://is.gd/vLjoVf from
PacerMonitor.com.
The final hearing is set for December 3.
The Debtors assert they need the DIP financing and consensual use
of cash collateral to achieve their objectives in their Chapter 11
cases, adding this will stabilize operations and support a
value-maximizing sale process for all stakeholders.
The Debtors, through their in-house finance team, source financing
for each stage of a project, including through debt facilities from
lenders associated with Fundamental Renewables, Brookfield Asset
Management, and The Carlyle Group. Each of the corporate-level debt
facilities has separate collateral and obligors.
As of the petition date, the Debtors had approximately $1.48
billion in pre-bankruptcy corporate debt.

QUANTUM CORP: Widens Net Loss to $46.5 Million in 2026 Q2
---------------------------------------------------------
Quantum Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $46.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $12.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported a
net loss of $63.7 million, compared to a net loss of $32 million
for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $62.7 million and $71.8 million, respectively. For the
six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $127 million and $144.1 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $137.7 million in total

total stockholders' deficit.
Quantum said, "We consider liquidity in terms of the sufficiency of
internal and external cash resources to fund our operating,
investing and financing activities. Our principal sources of
liquidity include cash from operating activities, and cash and cash
equivalents on our balance sheet."
"We require significant cash resources to meet obligations to pay
principal and interest on our outstanding debt, provide for our
research and development activities, fund our working capital
needs, and make capital expenditures. Our future liquidity
requirements will depend on multiple factors, including our ability
to raise additional capital, research and development plans and
capital asset needs.
"We had cash and cash equivalents of $14.7 million as of September
30, 2025, which consisted primarily of bank deposits and money
market accounts. As of September 30, 2025, our total outstanding
Term Loan debt was $106.1 million.
"We generated negative cash flows from operations of approximately
$32.5 million and $17.2 million for the six months ended September
30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and generated net losses of
approximately $63.7 million and $32.0 million for the six months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We have funded
operations through the sale of Common Stock, Term Loan borrowings
and PNC Credit Facility borrowings."
On January 25, 2025, the Company entered into the SEPA, in which
pursuant to and subject to its terms, the Company has the right,
but not the obligation, to sell up to $200 million of Common Stock
at any time during the three-year period following the date of the
SEPA.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company has issued approximately 7.5
million shares of Common Stock under the SEPA for net proceeds of
approximately $82.8 million, of which 6.3 million shares of Common
Stock for net proceeds of approximately $66.9 million were issued
in the six months ended September 30, 2025. No shares were issued
in the three months ended September 30, 2025.
"Our Term Loan has a maturity date of August 5, 2026. We believe we
will not be able to make the required repayment on that date using
cash generated from operating activities. We entered into the
Transaction Agreement that will convert Dialectic's portion of the
Term Loan into a Convertible Note with a three-year maturity. We
also agreed to use the proceeds from the SEPA to repay the OC III
Lenders portion of the Term Loan."
"The issuance of the Convertible Note is subject to stockholder
approval and there is no assurance that it will be approved. Also,
we may not be able to access the SEPA to generate sufficient cash
to repay OC III Lenders by the maturity date. We may be unable to
obtain additional funding from other sources," the Company
concluded.
Management Commentary:
"Revenue for the quarter was at the high-end of the expected range,
which we believe reflects the initial traction from our decisive
actions to refresh and reinvigorate our sales organization. We also
began driving initial improvement toward our targeted margin
profile for the overall business, with second quarter GAAP gross
margin expanding 230 basis points sequentially. Additionally, we
are making progress on our ongoing restructuring efforts aimed at
right-sizing the business, which resulted in a more than $5 million
reduction in non-GAAP operating expenses and achievement of
positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the quarter."
"As a result of the actions to transform our cost structure and
balance sheet, including the recently proposed debt exchange
transaction, we have taken steps to meaningfully enhance the
long-term financial stability of the Company. Overall, we are
pleased by the initial progress we have demonstrated in a
relatively short period of time. With our new sales leadership and
go-to-market strategy combined with a strengthened financial
structure, we believe that Quantum has the foundation in place to
grow the business and deliver on our goals of expanded EBITDA and
positive cash flow in the near future," stated Hugues Meyrath, CEO
of Quantum.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $155.40 million in total
assets, $319.77 million in total liabilities, and total deficit of
$164.37 million.
Bellevue, Wash.-based Grant Thornton LLP, the Company's auditor
since 2013, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated August 26, 2025, attached to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025, citing that the
Company believes it will be in violation of the net leverage
coverage covenant for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The
Company's plan contemplates the Company negotiating waivers to
these covenants and is evaluating strategies to restructure or
refinance the existing term debt. If the Company is unable to
obtain additional waivers, the term debt will become immediately
due, and additional liquidity will be required to satisfy the
obligations. The Company's ability to achieve the foregoing
elements of its business, which may be necessary to permit the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business, is uncertain and raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

RANA REAL: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to Dec. 9
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida,
Orlando Division, entered a second interim order granting Rana Real
Estate, LLC authority to use cash collateral.
In its interim order, the court ruled that rents, cash and
receivables generated by the Debtor's business constitute cash
collateral under Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral through
December 9 for ordinary business expenses in accordance with its
budget. These expenses exclude pre-bankruptcy debts, officer
salaries, professional fees, or insider payments, which require
separate approval. The Debtor must remain current on ordinary
business expenses before any such future payments are allowed.
As adequate protection, the court granted replacement liens to the
lenders on all post-petition property of the same type, nature, and
priority as their pre-bankruptcy collateral, including cash
accounts, receivables, and other post-petition assets.
Additionally, the Debtor was authorized to make monthly payments of
$2,000 to TVC Funding III, LLC for the Calistoga property and
$2,500 for the Yountville property, beginning this month.
The court further required the Debtor to maintain full insurance
coverage on all collateral and promptly provide proof of coverage
to the lenders upon request.
The Debtor's authority to use cash collateral will automatically
end upon occurrence of so-called termination events including
conversion or dismissal of its Chapter 11 case, and termination of
business operations.
A continued cash collateral hearing is scheduled for December 9.
As of September 17, the Debtor owed $594,300 to Kiavi Funding, Inc.
and more than $1.34 million to TVC on two loans.

RED RIVER: Judge Says New Evidence Fails Co.'s Libel Claim
----------------------------------------------------------
George Woolston of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a
physician sued by Johnson & Johnson's talc unit is opposing the
company's move to revive its trade libel case, asserting that the
subsidiary has brought forward no new facts to support
reconsideration. Her article discussing a potential link between
asbestos in talc and mesothelioma was already reviewed by the
court.
The court previously concluded that her analysis amounted to a
nonactionable scientific opinion. The doctor now argues that the
unit's latest attempt to challenge that finding falls short,
leaving no basis to reinstate the dismissed lawsuit.
About J&J Talc Units
LLT Management, LLC (formerly known as LTL Management LLC) was a
subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson that was formed to manage and
defend thousands of talc-related claims and oversee the operations
of Royalty A&M. Royalty A&M owns a portfolio of royalty revenue
streams, including royalty revenue streams based on third-party
sales of LACTAID, MYLANTA/MYLICON and ROGAINE products.
LTL Management first filed a petition for Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. W.D.N.C. Case No. 21-30589) on Oct. 14, 2021. The case was
transferred to New Jersey (Bankr. D.N.J. Case No. 21-30589) on Nov.
16, 2021. The Hon. Michael B. Kaplan is the case judge. At the time
of the filing, the Debtor was estimated to have $1 billion to $10
billion in both assets and liabilities.
In the 2021 case, LTL Management tapped Jones Day and Rayburn
Cooper & Durham, P.A., as bankruptcy counsel; King & Spalding, LLP
and Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP as special counsel; McCarter &
English, LLP as litigation consultant; Bates White, LLC as
financial consultant; and AlixPartners, LLP as restructuring
advisor. Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC, served as the claims
agent.
On Dec. 24, 2021, the U.S. Trustee for Regions 3 and 9
reconstituted the talc claimants' committee and appointed two
separate committees: (i) the official committee of talc claimants
I, which represents ovarian cancer claimants, and (ii) the official
committee of talc claimants II, which represents mesothelioma
claimants.
The official committee of talc claimants I tapped Genova Burns LLC,
Brown Rudnick LLP, Otterbourg PC and Parkins Lee & Rubio LLP as its
legal counsel. Meanwhile, the official committee of talc claimants
II is represented by the law firms of Cooley LLP, Bailey Glasser
LLP, Waldrep Wall Babcock & Bailey PLLC, Massey & Gail LLP, and
Sherman Silverstein Kohl Rose & Podolsky P.A.
Re-Filing of Chapter 11 Petition
On Jan. 30, 2023, a panel of the Third Circuit issued an opinion
directing this Court to dismiss the 2021 Chapter 11 Case on the
basis that it was not filed in good faith. Although the Third
Circuit panel recognized that the Debtor "inherited massive
liabilities" and faced "thousands" of future claims, it concluded
that the Debtor was not in financial distress before the filing.
On March 22, 2023, the Third Circuit entered an order denying the
Debtor's petition for rehearing. The Third Circuit entered an order
denying LTL's stay motion on March 31, 2023, and, on the dame
day,issued its mandate directing the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss
the 2021 Chapter 11 Case.
The Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing the 2021 Case on
April 4, 2023.
Johnson & Johnson on April 4, 2023, announced that its subsidiary
LTL Management LLC (LTL) has re-filed for voluntary Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.N.J. Case No. 23-12825) to obtain
approval of a reorganization plan that will equitably and
efficiently resolve all claims arising from cosmetic talc
litigation against the Company and its affiliates in North
America.
In the new filing, J&J said it has agreed to contribute up to a
present value of $8.9 billion, payable over 25 years, to resolve
all the current and future talc claims, which is an increase of
$6.9 billion over the $2 billion previously committed in connection
with LTL's initial bankruptcy filing in October 2021. LTL also has
secured commitments from over 60,000 current claimants to support
a global resolution on these terms.
In August 2023, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan in Trenton,
New Jersey, ruled that the second bankruptcy case should be
dismissed.
3rd Try
In May 2024, J&J announced its subsidiary LLT Management LLC is
soliciting support for a consensual prepackaged bankruptcy plan to
resolve its talc-related liabilities. Under the terms of the plan,
a trust would be funded with over $5.4 billion in the first three
years and more than $8 billion over the course of 25 years, which
J&J calculates to have a net present value of $6.475 billion. If
the Plan is accepted by at least 75% of voters, a bankruptcy was to
be filed under the case name In re Red River Talc LLC. Epiq
Corporate Restructuring, LLC is serving as balloting and
solicitation agent for LLT.

Counsel. Randi S. Ellis is the proposed prepetition legal
representative of future claimants.

RIGHTMOVE PLC: Faces GBP1-Bil. Suit Over Anti-Competitive Conduct
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline So, writing for Canadian Law Mag, reports that
accountant and ex-UK Competition and Markets Authority panel member
Jeremy Newman has filed a GBP1 billion class action against UK
property company Rightmove, reported the Law Society Gazette.
The suit is set to accuse Rightmove of setting unreasonably high
prices for estate agents to list properties on its digital portal.
Per the action, estimated damages will hit GBP1 billion.
The opt-out group litigation will be conducted by a team that
includes lawyers and experts from class action boutique Scott+Scott
UK LLP, Blackstone Chambers' Kieron Beal, and Kairos Economics. The
claim will be financed by litigation funder Innsworth Capital.
Innsworth managing director Ian Garrard said in a statement
published by the Gazette that the opt-out collective actions regime
enabled small and medium-sized enterprises to seek remedies for
anti-competitive behavior.
"Rightmove knows that, due to its first-mover status, its product
is considered a 'must-have' for estate agents. It exploits its
dominance of the online property portal market in the UK to charge
excessively and unfairly high subscription fees, both at face value
and when compared with its competitors. Estate agents have had to
absorb consistent, excessive price increases on a regular basis,"
Newman said in a statement published by the Gazette. "My case will
seek to return the overpaid fees to estate agents across the
country and to rebalance the relationship between Rightmove and the
estate agents that use its online property portal."
Rightmove confirmed that it had received notice of a potential
claim. The Competition Appeal Tribunal will handle the class
action.
Rightmove's shares fell recently by a maximum of 28 percent after
it announced that it was ramping up its AI investment. Per BBC
News, it is set to inject GBP60 million over three years towards
this and other initiatives to bolster returns.
Rightmove said it expected its AI focus to generate a return in
this period and that its operating profit would bounce back after
2028. [GN]

SAMMY G'S: Unsecured Creditors Will Get 100% over 60 Months
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sammy G's District 70 BBQ & Grill, LLC filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas a Plan of
Reorganization under Subchapter V dated November 18, 2025.
The Debtor operates a restaurant and bar in the Clear Lake area at
4141 E. Nasa Parkway, Suite D, Seabrook, Texas 77586. The
restaurant and bar opened for business in the spring of 2024.
The Debtor is planning on continuing to operate the restaurant and
bar and hopefully increasing the revenues and operations. The
restaurant and bar are still getting new customers since the
restaurant and bar has been open for less than 2 years.
The projections demonstrate that the Debtor will have sufficient
funds to operate its business going forward. The projections are
based upon current and projected new business. The projections
included farming chicken eggs and raising catfish.
This Plan of Reorganization proposes to pay Debtor's creditors from
the cash flow generated in the ordinary course of the Debtor's
business after confirmation.
Class 6 consists of all other non-priority unsecured claims allowed
under §502 of the Code. The aggregate amount of Class 6 claims is
approximately $23,198. This Class is impaired.
The Debtor will pay the projected disposable income in the amount
as set forth on the projections for a period of sixty months
following the Effective Date to creditors in this class with
allowed claims in the amount set forth on the projections with this
plan. Debtor may pay these amounts in quarterly distributions. The
plan provides for payment of 100% of the claims listed.
Class 7 consists of the equity security holders of the Debtor. The
equity security holders will retain the interest in the Debtor.
The term "disposable income" means the income that is received by
the debtor and that is not reasonably necessary to be expended
* for
-- the maintenance or support of the debtor or a dependent of
the debtor; or
-- a domestic support obligation that first becomes payable
after the date of the filing of the petition; or
* for the payment of expenditures necessary for the
continuation, preservation, or operation of the business of the
debtor.

SELECTIS HEALTH: Raises Going Concern Doubt
-------------------------------------------
Kathleen Steele Gaivin of McKnights Senior Living reports that
Selectis Health continued to report "substantial doubt" about its
ability to remain a going concern, according to its third-quarter
SEC filing on Friday. The warning comes months after the company
first flagged the same risk, reflecting persistent financial strain
within the organization formerly known as Global Healthcare REIT.
For the first nine months of 2025, Selectis recorded a net loss of
about $0.2 million and negative net working capital near $16.3
million. The company acknowledged that without successful
implementation of corrective actions, its operations over the next
year could be in jeopardy, according to report.
The company reiterated the strategies outlined in its
second-quarter filing to maintain operations. These include raising
occupancy, securing higher Medicaid reimbursements, controlling
operating expenses, and pursuing additional financing via debt or
equity or through asset sales. CEO Adam Desmond noted that although
management has plans to address the issues, there is no certainty
they will fully resolve the financial concerns, the report states.
Selectis maintains a portfolio of senior living and skilled nursing
facilities across Arkansas, Georgia, Ohio, and Oklahoma. The firm
had previously disclosed potential liquidity risks in its 2023 and
2024 reports but had expressed optimism that its measures would be
sufficient to continue as a going concern, the report relays.
About Selectis Health
Selectis Health is a U.S. healthcare provider managing a network of
senior living communities, assisted living centers, and skilled
nursing facilities. Specializing in services for older adults, the
company offers independent living, assisted care, and long-term

SONDER HOLDINGS: Court Okays Marriot's Role in Chapter 7 Wind-Down
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Montgomery of Law360 reports that a Delaware bankruptcy court
has granted Marriott International a narrowly tailored managerial
role in overseeing the wind‑down of its former partner Sonder
Hospitality Holdings, which is now undergoing a Chapter 7
liquidation. Marriott made the request after warning the court that
Sonder's abrupt decision to shut down operations posed serious
risks to guests, including being locked out of their rooms or
stranded mid‑stay.
In its filings, Marriott emphasized that it had no choice but to
intervene in order to protect customer safety and preserve access
to vital systems. The judge's approval allows Marriott to step in
on limited terms, ensuring an orderly transition even as Sonder
unwinds its business under bankruptcy supervision, the report
states.

TURTLE LANE: Claims Will be Paid from Property Sale/Refinance
-------------------------------------------------------------
Turtle Lane LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Massachusetts a Disclosure Statement with respect to
Plan of Reorganization dated November 18, 2025.
The Debtor is a Massachusetts limited liability company formed on
or about January 10, 2014 to engage in real estate transactions
including, without limitation, acquiring, owning, operating,
constructing, and financing such real estate.
The Debtor purchased the real property located at 283 Melrose
Avenue, Newton, Massachusetts (the "Property") for $2,000,000 from
Foxpath LLC, an unrelated entity, on February 14, 2014 with an aim
to redevelop the Property (the "Project"). The Property is located
in a high-traffic area, just north of the Massachusetts Turnpike
and directly adjacent to the Auburndale MBTA commuter rail stop.
The Debtor financed the acquisition and development of the property
with advances from Dedham Institute for Savings (the "Bank"). The
delays in the development of the Project led to disputes between
the Debtor and the Bank. The Bank ultimately commenced a state
court action against the Debtor and others on June 20, 2023,
captioned as Dedham Institute for Savings v. Turtle Lane LLC, et
al., Civ. A. No. 23CV1807 (the "Civil Action").
The Bank scheduled a foreclosure auction for the Project for August
21, 2025. The Debtor commenced this Chapter 11 proceeding on the
day of the scheduled foreclosure to preserve the value of the
Property and its other assets while it sought strategic or
financial partners to recapitalize its business, refinance its
operations, or acquire its assets.
The Debtor is marketing the Property for sale which may obviate the
need for further consideration of the motion for relief. In order
to locate potential purchasers for the property, the Debtor filed
an application to retain Coldwell Banker Realty as broker (the
"Broker"). The Broker is licensed in Massachusetts and has
significant experience in refinancing and marketing properties like
the Property for sale.
The Debtor plans to refinance or sell the Property to fund payments
to creditors under the Plan. The Debtor believes that the value of
the Property substantially exceeds the amount of Allowed Claims.
After payment of Secured, Administrative, Priority Claims, General
Unsecured Claims, and payment of, or reservation for, the amounts
necessary to administer the Plan, the balance of the proceeds will
be distributed to the Debtor.
Class 3 consists of General Unsecured Claims. The Debtor estimates
that the total amount of Allowed Class 3 claims is less than
$200,000 based upon the schedules of assets and liabilities filed
in the case. In addition, there is the claim of the DIP Lender for
amounts advanced to the Debtor during its chapter 11 case, which
claim is subordinated to the claims of all other creditors and
receive a distribution only after all other allowed claims against
the Debtor are paid in full. Allowed Class 3 Claims may be impaired
and the holder of such Allowed General Unsecured Claims are
entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
Commencing upon the later of the 30th day following the Effective
Date or such date as the Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, in full
and complete satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of the
Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the holders of Allowed General
Unsecured Claims shall receive payment of their Allowed General
Unsecured Claims: (i) in Cash, (ii) from the Net Proceeds of the
sale of the Property, (iii) in equal monthly installments for a
period of six months following the Effective Date, (iv) upon such
terms as is agreed to in writing between the Debtor and the holder
of an Allowed Class 3 Claim, or (v) upon such terms as may be
determined by the Bankruptcy Court.
Class 4 consists of Equity Interests. The Debtor retains its equity
interests under the Plan and receives the remainder of the Assets,
if any, after payment in full of all Allowed classified and
unclassified claims in the Debtor's chapter 11 case.
Confirmation of the Plan shall constitute authorization for the
Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor to: (i) effectuate the Plan and to
enter into all documents, instruments and agreements reasonably
necessary to effectuate the terms of the Plan, and (ii) liquidate
any Assets remaining after the Effective Date. The Debtor shall
remain in existence as the Reorganized Debtor until dissolved
pursuant to the Plan.
In order to confirm the Plan, the Debtor must demonstrate that he
can make the payments called for under the Plan. The Plan calls for
the sale or other use of the Property to generate proceeds to pay
creditors. The Property is capable of generating sale proceeds
sufficient to satisfy the Claims against the Debtor. The Plan is
therefore feasible and confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be
followed by liquidation or the need for further financial
reorganization by the Debtor.

2025 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=8QsX1O from

TYLER ASHLEY ENTERPRISE: Seeks Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in New York

UPSTREAM NEWCO: Moody's Cuts CFR to Caa2, Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings downgraded Upstream Newco, Inc.'s ("Upstream")
ratings, including the Corporate Family Rating to Caa2 from Caa1,
the Probability of Default Rating to Caa2-PD from Caa1-PD, and the
rating on the first lien senior secured bank credit facility to
Caa1 from B3. At the same time, Moody's affirmed the rating on the
senior secured second lien term loan at Caa3. The outlook remains
stable.
The ratings downgrade reflects an increased probability of default
due to the upcoming expiration of the company's first lien senior
secured revolving credit facility and maturity of the first lien
senior secured term loan, in November 2026. While Moody's expects
modest improvements in the company's earnings and financial
leverage, liquidity will remain constrained by modest free cashflow
generation, a fully drawn revolving credit facility, and upcoming
debt maturity.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Upstream's Caa2 Corporate Family Rating reflects its high financial
leverage. Moody's expects that the leverage will remain moderately
high, but will gradually improve due to organic and de novo growth.
The rating is constrained by Upstream weak liquidity and upcoming
debt maturity in November 2026. The CFR also reflects risks tied to
the company's rapid expansion strategy, low barriers to entry into
the physical therapy business, and risk of market oversaturation
given the rapid expansion of Upstream and many of its competitors.
Upstream's rating is supported by the company's track record of
same store sales growth, recent improvements in performance and
Moody's views that demand for physical therapy will continue to
grow given it is relatively low-cost and relative advantage to more
expensive treatments or opioid pain management.
The ratings outlook is stable. While Moody's expects Upstream's
earnings will improve, liquidity will remain weak constrained by
the upcoming debt maturity, thus increasing the likelihood of a
default.
Moody's expects Upstream will have weak liquidity over the next
12-18 months. Moody's expects Upstream to generate a small amount
of positive free cash flow in 2026 and beyond. The company had
approximately $37 million of cash as of September 30, 2025.
Upstream's revolving credit facility is fully drawn. The revolving
credit facility and first lien term loan mature in November 2026
and the company has no alternative sources of liquidity.
The first lien revolver and term loan are rated Caa1, one notch
above the Caa2 CFR. This reflects the first lien credit facility's
priority positions compared to the senior secured second lien term
loan (rated Caa3), which would absorb the first losses in a
default.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The ratings could be downgraded if the company's performance
deteriorates, probability of default increases further or the
company defaults.
The ratings could be upgraded if the probability of a default
declines upon addressing the company's debt maturity, and if
operating performance and liquidity continues to improve.
Upstream Newco, Inc., headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, is a
provider of outpatient rehabilitation services - primarily physical
therapy. Through its subsidiaries, Upstream Newco, Inc. operates
about 1,260 clinics in 28 states, with a strong presence in the
Southeast. Upstream Newco, Inc. is owned by Revelstoke Capital
Partners, LLC, a Denver-based private equity firm. The company's
revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 is
approximately $725 million ($804 million including unconsolidated
subsidiary revenue under management).
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Services published in November 2021.
Upstream's Caa2 CFR is two notches below the B3 scorecard-indicated
outcome. The difference reflects the weight Moody's gave to the
upcoming debt maturity and weak liquidity profile.
VANKIRK ELECTRIC: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------
Vankirk Electric, Inc. received second interim approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Georgia, Athens
Division, to use cash collateral to fund operations.
The second interim order authorized the Debtor to use cash
collateral in accordance with its budget pending the final hearing,
which is scheduled for December 5.
As adequate protection for the Debtor's use of its cash collateral,
Fifth Third Bank, N.A. will be granted replacement liens on all
assets acquired by the Debtor after its Chapter 11 filing and
during the interim period. These replacement liens will have the
same priority, kind, category, and character as Fifth Third Bank's
pre-bankruptcy liens.
In addition, the secured creditor will receive an allowed senior
superpriority administrative expense claims against the Debtor.
The Debtor said that access to Fifth Third Bank's cash collateral
is critical to maintaining operations and preserving asset value.
Fifth Third Bank has been identified as a likely holder of a
first-priority lien on the cash collateral, which includes accounts
receivable and other business-related assets.

VENTURE GLOBAL: Fitch Affirms 'B+' LongTerm IDR, Outlook Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Venture Global LNG, Inc.'s (VGLNG)
Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B+', senior secured notes
at 'BB' with a Recovery Rating of 'RR2', and preferred stock at
'B-'/'RR6'. The Outlook remains Negative.
The recently secured $2.0 billion senior secured revolving credit
facility improves VGLNG's liquidity position but weakens its
near-term recovery profile. The recovery ratings reflect Fitch's
expectation that the equity bridge loan (EBL) at Venture Global CP2
LNG Funding, LLC will be sufficiently paid down through 2026,
aligning the expected recovery on the senior secured notes with an
'RR2' rating from 2027.
The Negative Outlook reflects risks from the ruling against VGLNG's
indirect subsidiary, Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC (VGCP), in
its arbitration with BP Gas Marketing Limited (BP). Fitch will
resolve the Negative Outlook when there is greater certainty
regarding the total amount of damages and how the company intends
to fund the payments.
Key Rating Drivers
Weaker Near-Term Recovery: The recently secured revolving credit
facility improves the company's liquidity profile in a period of
high capex and ongoing arbitration risk. The stronger liquidity
position is balanced by a weaker recovery profile. Under its
Corporates Recovery Ratings and Instrument Ratings Criteria, Fitch
assumes the company's $2.0 billion revolver is fully drawn
resulting in lower expected recovery on VGLNG's senior secured
notes through 2026. The affirmation of the Recovery Rating reflects
the rapidly increasing production at Venture Global Plaquemines
LNG, LLC (VGPL). Fitch has greater confidence that the company will
be able to pay down a significant portion of the EBL in 2026.
Fifty percent of the excess cash flow generated at VGPL, after
certain expenses including debt service, contingency reserves and
equity drawstop refunds, must be used to pay down the EBL. As a
result of the paydown, starting in 2027, the recovery profile of
the senior secured notes will be in line with a 'RR2' Recovery
Rating. Slower-than-expected debt paydown or incremental debt at
VGLNG or the intermediate companies, currently unexpected, could
result in a negative rating action.
Leverage Higher than Fitch Expected: On a consolidated basis,
leverage (total consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA) averages
around 7.5x through 2029 but peaks at around 12.0x in the near
term, as on the COD, higher-margin merchant cargoes decline, and
lower-margin SPA contract cargoes commence. Under Fitch's
assumptions, debt-funded damages awarded at the higher end of the
range sought by the SPA customers could result in consolidated
leverage approaching 8.0x through 2029, and lead to a rating
downgrade. Fitch acknowledges that VGLNG can reserve funds by
slowing its capex and partially monetizing its non-core assets.
Under Fitch's assumptions, holding-company-only EBITDA leverage
(total holding company [holdco] debt divided by holdco EBITDA)
averages around 4.0x over the forecast period through 2029, but
peaks at over 7.0x in 2027. The peak leverage underscores the
commodity risk and the company's reliance on sustaining production
higher than the nameplate capacity to keep leverage below the
downgrade threshold. Fitch assumes basis differentials will decline
during this period of high capex. Increasing scale and diversity
partially offset higher volatility in the financial profile.
Adverse Ruling in Arbitration: The adverse ruling in the contract
dispute with BP weakens VGLNG's financial and business profile. BP
is seeking over $1.0 billion in damages, plus interest, costs and
fees. Four other independent arbitration proceedings are ongoing.
Before VGCP won the Shell arbitration and settled another case,
total damages sought by the SPA customers ranged from $6.7 billion
to $7.4 billion. Fitch will monitor upcoming arbitrations and
changes (if any) to how projects transition from construction to
commercialization under the SPAs for potential reductions in cash
flows from commissioning cargos, compared with Fitch's prior
forecasts.
High Commodity Exposure: Fitch believes VGLNG's plan to partly fund
future LNG plants with commissioning cargoes and excess-capacity
revenue exposes it to significant commodity risk. The risk stems
from basis differentials across hubs rather than a single commodity
at one delivery point. Construction delays would curtail early
cargo sales. Excess capacity sales will be limited if the
debottlenecking program does not prove sustainable. Under Fitch's
rating case, together these revenue streams account for over
three-fourths of total EBITDA at the holdco level in 2025-2029,
with the remainder derived from contracted sales.
Ongoing Construction Risk: VGLNG is constructing multiple highly
complex LNG projects under its owner-led multi-contractor strategy,
retaining primary responsibility for cost overruns and project
completion. Additionally, the projects partially rely on selling
commissioning cargoes to generate sufficient funds to complete the
projects, but revenue from these sales can be volatile because LNG
market prices fluctuate. Overall capex is expected to be around $40
billion over the next five years, including $29.5 billion for CP2,
VGLNG's third project. Upward rating momentum depends on VGLNG
managing completion risk and maintaining leverage within Fitch's
sensitivity band.
Favorable Global LNG Markets: Displacement of Russia's natural gas
supply and delays in Asian capacity growth have strengthened demand
for U.S.-produced LNG. VGLNG's first project, Venture Global
Calcasieu Pass, LLC (VGCP), commissioned in 2022, benefited from
the historic market basis differential between Henry Hub (HH) gas
and Title Transfer Facility, the European LNG hub. Since then,
realized margins fell to about $5.6/MMBtu in 1H26 from about
$8.8/MMBtu in 4Q24, highlighting market volatility and lower
margins on contracted cargoes. This may reduce FCF available for
VGLNG to finance future projects and meet debt obligations.
Peer Analysis
VGLNG is weaker than peer Cheniere Energy, Inc. (CEI; BBB/Stable).
With approximately 60mtpa of manufacturing capacity, CEI is the
largest LNG producer in the U.S., considerably larger than VGLNG,
which is producing LNG from about 24mtpa of nameplate production
capacity and has roughly another 30mtpa in various stages of
development. CEI has greater scale, operating two seasoned
projects, Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (BBB+/Stable) and Cheniere
Corpus Christi Holdings, LLC (BBB+/Stable). CEI's construction risk
is low, with approximately 10mtpa of capacity under construction.
Both VGLNG and CEI receive revenue from short-term market sales,
but Fitch believes this revenue is less predictable and exposed to
commodity price risk. This revenue is a much larger portion of
total cash flow for VGLNG than for CEI. Both companies also have
long-term SPAs with largely investment-grade counterparties, under
which the cost of natural gas is passed through to customers.
Additional revenue generated from excess capacity sales directly
supports debt service at VGLNG, bypassing the project waterfall, a
feature that CEI does not have.
Debt obligations at both VGLNG and CEI are structurally subordinate
project and intermediate holdco debt. Both are subject to
distribution tests that could impede distributions to the parent
companies.
According to Fitch's forecast, VGLNG's leverage is considerably
higher than that of CEI, on a consolidated basis, averaging over
7.5x during the forecast, compared to 4x at CEI over the near term.
Differences in construction risk, seasoned operational performance,
cash flow predictability, scale, and leverage account for the
difference in their respective ratings.
Key Assumptions
- VGCP's nameplate capacity of 10mtpa is fully contracted and
generates additional liquefaction fees on the excess capacity above
nameplate, which is sold under short-term contracts;
- Construction at VGPL stays on schedule, consistent with
management's projected cost of about $24 billion. Nameplate
capacity of 20mtpa is fully contracted and generates additional
liquefaction fees from excess capacity above nameplate, which is
sold under short-term contracts;
- Construction of the third project, CP2, is in line with
management expectations, at a cost of about $29.5 billion, and
Phase I reaches COD at the end of 2029. The first phase of CP2 is
assumed to be fully contracted during the operating period;
- Additional projects are not funded during the forecast period;
- No additional legal or regulatory impact from the arbitrations.
Previously settled arbitrations are not successfully challenged;
- Projects produce 15%-30% higher volumes than nameplate capacity;
- Fitch price deck informs revenue from the short-term contracts;
- Only mandatory amortization per the provisions of the project
debt;
- No further expansions of any project;
- No incremental debt issuance at the holdco level or at the
intermediate company level;
- Base interest rates reflect Fitch's Global Economic Outlook.
Recovery Analysis
Fitch evaluates the recovery profile from the holdco's perspective.
Fitch estimates that the holdco's going-concern EBITDA is $3.5
billion, greater than the liquidation value, despite the high
equity value retained by VGLNG in VGCP, VGPL and CP2. This is
Fitch's view of the sustainable, post-reorganization EBITDA level
that underpins its valuation of the company. Fitch calculates
administrative claims at 10%, which is the standard assumption.
The inclusion of the revolver as fully drawn debt under Fitch's
assumptions lowers VGLNG's recovery profile in 2026. This risk is
offset by increased production at VGPL which will average higher
than 20mtpa per year in Fitch's forecast. Fitch expects over half
of the $3.0 billion EBL will pay down over the year. Fitch assumes
the default occurs in 2027 during a period of depressed LNG spot
market pricing that lowers excess-capacity revenue. Fitch further
assumes VGCP is operational as VGLNG reorganizes, and delays occur
at VGPL and CP2. As per its criteria, the going-concern EBITDA
reflects some residual portion of the distress that causes the
default.
Fitch uses a 4.0x going-concern EBITDA multiple, reflecting a
default occurring during construction and the effect of the
complexity of the construction projects and scale on the
reorganization. The outcome is a 'BB'/'RR2' rating for the senior
secured debt. The recovery reflects the lien status of the senior
notes after the redeemable preferred units at VGCP.
A limited number of bankruptcies have been filed within the
midstream sector. Two recent gathering and processing company
bankruptcies indicate an EBITDA multiple between 5.0x and 7.0x, by
Fitch's best estimates. Fitch's recent bankruptcy case study report
"Energy, Power and Commodities Bankruptcies Enterprise Values and
Creditor Recoveries," published in October 2024, found that the
median enterprise valuation exit multiple for the 51 energy cases
with sufficient data to estimate was 5.3x, with a wide range of
multiples observed.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade:
- Additional adverse rulings in the first stage of the
arbitrations;
- An adverse ruling by the arbitrator determining how much, if
anything, BP is owed, or additional adverse rulings for further
similar proceedings;
- Management does not increase liquidity in advance of potential
cash needs, including the possibility of a large payment to a
customer under arbitration;
- A material increase in debt that weakens the holdco's recovery
profile;
- Holding-company-only EBITDA leverage is sustained above 5.0x or
consolidated EBITDA leverage is sustained above 8.0x;
- Significant weakness in global LNG prices, or a decline in
spreads realized by the company, pressuring cash flow generation
from early cargoes;
- Any construction issues that significantly increase costs, cause
delays, or result in deteriorating cash flow;
- A multi-notch downgrade or financial distress of any significant
SPA counterparty.
- The Outlook could be revised to Stable if damages awarded in
arbitration are materially below the amount sought, keeping
leverage within Fitch's sensitivities.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade:
- Holding-company-only EBITDA leverage is expected to remain below
4.5x, supported by a policy to keep it below this level;
- Consolidated leverage is expected to remain below 7.0x on a
long-term basis;
- A meaningful increase occurs in the share of holdco cash flow
derived from long-term contracts.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
As of Sept 30, 2025, VGLNG's holdco held about $1.9 billion in
unrestricted cash. Fitch expects it to maintain at least $1.5
billion to meet liquidity needs. In November 2025, VGLNG secured a
$2.0 billion senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in
November 2030. The facility was fully available as of Nov. 18,
2025. If BP receives full claimed damages, Venture Global could owe
up to $1.0 billion, plus interest, costs, and legal fees, by late
2026 under Fitch's assumptions. As of Sept. 30, 2025, total
availability under the project working capital facilities was about
$1.6 billion.
Distributions to VGLNG from VGCP and VGPL are allowed only when
DSCR exceeds 1.25x for the next and prior 12 months. For VGPL,
distributions also require meeting certain construction milestones.
Prior to Aug. 19, 2027, Calcasieu Funding may not distribute
available cash to VGLNG until all accrued distributions on the CP
Funding Redeemable Preferred Units (CP Prefs) are paid in cash.
The CP2 Holding's EBL is subject to mandatory prepayment
provisions, sweeping 50% of net proceeds from the sale of
commissioning cargos generated at VGPL.
As of Sept. 30, 2025, the CP Funding Redeemable Preferred Units had
a $1.7 billion redemption value, including $750 million of accrued
distributions. Near-term maturities include $2.25 billion of 8.125%
notes due 2028 and $3.0 billion of 9.5% notes due 2029.
Issuer Profile
Venture Global LNG develops, builds, and operates LNG export
projects under long-term SPAs. It runs a 10 mtpa liquefaction and
export facility and is developing three additional plants,
targeting a combined nameplate capacity of 70 mtpa across its
portfolio.
Summary of Financial Adjustments
EBITDA Leverage is calculated as the ratio of VGLNG's total
consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA.
Fitch also evaluates VGLNG with holding-company-only EBITDA
Leverage. This metric is calculated as the ratio of
holding-company-only debt to holding-company-only EBITDA.
Holding-company-only EBITDA is the sum (i) aggregate distributions
from the operating companies and (ii) EBITDA that is not part of
any flow that produces operating company distributions (non-SPA
EBITDA), e.g., excess capacity commercial activity. In 2024,
consolidated EBITDA approximately equaled non-SPA EBITDA, as
reported to Fitch by the company.
As per Fitch's "Corporate Hybrids Treatment and Notching Criteria,"
Fitch gives 50% equity credit to the cumulative redeemable
perpetual preferred stock issued by VGLNG.
Fitch treats as 100% debt the redeemable stock of Calcasieu Pass
Funding, LLC.
Fitch removes from VGLNG EBITDA the net income attributable to
non-controlling interests. Fitch looks at a variety of leverage
calculations but features the foregoing calculations in its
commentary.
MACROECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS AND SECTOR FORECASTS
Fitch's latest quarterly Global Corporates Sector Forecasts Monitor
data file which aggregates key data points used in its credit
analysis. Fitch's macroeconomic forecasts, commodity price
assumptions, default rate forecasts, sector key performance
indicators and sector-level forecasts are among the data items
included.
ESG Considerations
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

WFO LLC: Unsecureds Will Get 20% to 30% in Trustee's Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Mark Andrews, the Chapter 11 Trustee, filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas an Amended
Disclosure Statement for the Amended Plan of Liquidation for WFO,
LLC dated November 19, 2025.
The Debtor is a Texas limited liability company, and Frank Thomas
Shumate, Jr.is the Debtor's Managing Member and the Debtor's 100%
LLC Membership Interest Holder.
The Debtor owned and operated a batch plant in Kaufman County
Texas. The plant was acquired using financing provided by Simmons
Bank, the primary secured creditor in the case. As part of its
operations, WFO required the use of trucks to pick up aggregate and
materials, deliver fresh cement and for other general purposes. The
trucks were financed or leased with various creditors in these
proceedings.
After early efforts to reorganize the case failed, a trustee was
appointed August 2024. The appointment of the Trustee lead to a
sale process for the principal asset, the batch plant. After a
broker was retained, a sale process was run and the Court
authorized a sale to Martin Marietta. That sale closed and the
result was that the first lien holder was paid in full. Now the
trustee seeks to marshal the remaining assets and prosecute
litigation to maximize value for the estate.
The auction was held and, as a result, the Estate and Martin
Marietta Materials Real Estate Investments, Inc., a North Carolina
Corporation ("Martin Marietta" or "Buyer") entered into that
certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property and
Certain Related Personal Property (as amended, the "Contract"),
dated effected as of January 16, 2025, for the sale and acquisition
of that certain real property and personal property, which are more
particularly described in the Contract (collectively, the
"Property").
The Contract and the sale and acquisition of the Property and
Assets were approved by the Bankruptcy Court in the Bankruptcy
Case, pursuant to an Order entered on January 14, 2025 (the "Sale
Order"). The sale of the Property and Assets has closed, bringing
significant funds into the Estate that are available for
distribution to creditors under the Plan, including unsecured
creditors of the Estate.
The Trustee is marketing the remaining real and any personal
property of the Estate which has net value to the Estate. That real
and personal property will either be liquidated by the Trustee
prior to confirmation or will become assets of the Liquidating
Trust for post-confirmation liquidation, with the net proceeds from
same available to satisfy Claims of Creditors.
Class 3 consists of the Allowed Claims of general unsecured
creditors. On the Effective Date, in full and final satisfaction of
any Claims against the Debtor, the Holder of an Allowed Claim in
Class 3 shall receive a ProRata beneficial interest in the
Liquidating Trust and shall be paid its Pro-Rata share of the
Liquidating Trust Funds in accordance with the Liquidating Trust
Agreement and the Plan after full payment of Allowed Administrative
Claims, allowed Priority Tax Claims and the Claims of any Holders
of Claims in Class 1. Class 3 is Impaired.
The allowed unsecured claims total $3.5 to $4.5 million. This Class
will receive a distribution of 20% to 30% (assumes voiding of
alleged Shumate lien on cement batch plant and recovery of $750,000
held in escrow but no other recovery from Shumate Parties).
All Class 4 Equity Interests (consisting of any and all member
interests in the Debtor) shall be cancelled and deemed of no
further force and effect upon the Effective Date. Holders of Equity
Interests in the Debtor shall not retain nor receive any property
or distribution under the Plan. Equity Interest Holders are
impaired, do not vote on the Plan, and are deemed to reject the
Plan.
The Plan contemplates the establishment of a Liquidating Trust
pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement on the Effective Date.
Mark Andrews will serve as the Liquidating Trustee to manage the
Liquidating Trust Assets, administer the Liquidating Trust, and
oversee distributions of the Liquidating Trust Funds. The
Liquidating Trustee shall be advised by a Liquidating Trust
Oversight Committee (the "Oversight Committee") consisting of three
Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries. The initial members of the
Oversight Committee will be set out in a Plan Supplement filed
prior to the Confirmation Hearing.

WOHALI LAND: Seeks $6.3MM DIP Loan From EB5AN
---------------------------------------------
Matt McKinlay, the Chapter 11 trustee for Wohali Land Estates, LLC,
asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah for
authority to obtain a $6.3 million debtor-in-possession financing
from EB5AN Wohali Utah Fund XV, LP.
Specifically, the trustee seeks authority to borrow up to $4.1
million immediately, including $3.3 million to be paid by December
1 to UMB Bank for the 2025 PID No. 1 assessment, to prevent
foreclosure and preserve future infrastructure funding.
Under the DIP financing, the trustee proposes granting EB5AN a
priming lien, security interests, and a superpriority claim on the
collateral securing the financing, senior to all other liens and
claims except the carveout and the statutory liens of the Wohali
Public Infrastructure District No. 1. Causes of action, including
Chapter 5 claims, are excluded from the collateral.
The loans must be payable in full on the maturity date, which means
the earliest to occur of the following dates (unless extended by
the DIP lender in writing):
1. March 20, 2026 (the scheduled maturity date);
2. The date on which the Debtor closes a sale of all or a
substantial portion of its assets;
3. The date of an event of default, if such event of default is
either (a) incapable of being cured or (b) capable of being cured
but has not been cured within five business days of the trustee
receiving a written notice of an event of default from the DIP
lender; and
4. The effective date of a plan of reorganization.
The milestones are:
1. November 21: Interim bankruptcy court approval of DIP
advances;
2. December 10: Final bankruptcy court approval of DIP facility;
3. December 31: Entry into a stalking horse purchase agreement
and bankruptcy court approval of bidding procedures for the sale of
all of the Debtor's real and personal property assets (excluding
Chapter 5 claims and other claims and causes of action), with such
bidding procedures to be reasonably acceptable to the DIP lender in
form and substance;
4. February 20, 2026: Deadline for the receipt of competing,
qualified bids for the sale of all of the Debtor's real and
personal property assets (excluding Chapter 5 claims and other
claims and causes of action);
5. February 24, 2026: Final sale hearing if no competing,
qualified bids are received;
6. February 26, 2026: Deadline for an auction in the event one
or more
The trustee asserts that no alternative financing is available on
more favorable terms, citing both the estate's distressed condition
and legal precedent requiring only a good-faith effort to seek
credit when market options are realistically nonexistent.
Appointed after multiple stakeholders including EB5AN, the U.S.
Trustee, and concerned landowners stipulated to the need for a
Chapter 11 trustee, Mr. McKinlay inherited an estate with almost no
cash, missed payroll, and significant operational and
infrastructure obligations.
EB5 holds the first-priority lien on the Debtor's real property,
securing approximately $86 million in debt, while its UCC-1 lien on
personal property is likely avoidable as a preference, making EB5
the only secured creditor with meaningful leverage.
Additional real-property lienholders appear junior to EB5, and the
estate is further encumbered by statutory PID assessments that
prime all consensual liens under Utah law.
The Debtor has over $15 million in unsecured liabilities. Prior to
the trustee's appointment, both EB5 and a group of Wohali Concerned
Owners advanced funds to preserve assets and fund payroll but these
advances were insufficient to cover ongoing obligations.
A court hearing is scheduled for December 3.

ZAHRCO ENTERPRISES: Unsecureds Will Get 11.1% over 3 Years
----------------------------------------------------------
Zahrco Enterprises, Inc., submitted a Second Amended Plan of
Reorganization dated November 18, 2025.
The Debtor's plan is to generate revenues through proposed three
year Second Amended Plan of Reorganization through the continued
operation of both restaurants during the term of their leases.
Merrick Park, at least as of the filing of this Plan, as is their
right, is not extending the lease of either restaurant. As the
leases will not be renewed, C'Est Bon's lease expires on January
31, 2028, and Sawa's lease expires on November 30, 2029. Based on
when the leases end, a five-year plan is unfeasible.
A three-year plan, timed up to the necessary ending of the C'Est
Bon lease, followed by ten months of the operation of just Sawa
becomes the best, and only, path to a feasible and successful
reorganization. The anticipated revenues as determined by the
Debtor's management, and a thorough review by the Subchapter V
Trustee, Carol Fox, is included within the projections.
The Plan Proponent's financial projections show that the Debtor
will have projected disposable income for the 36-month period of
$856,858.00, (the "Projected Disposable Income"). The final Plan
payment is expected to be paid on or about 3 years after the
Effective Date1 of the Plan.
The Projected Disposable Income will be primarily allocated to
creditor payments under the Plan. The relatively modest cash
reserves projected during the Plan are necessary to maintain
ongoing operations and address consistent market fluctuations in
the Debtor's operations, especially during the late spring, summer
and early fall months.
Class 5 consists of Unsecured Creditors. This Class shall be paid
11.1% in six bi-annual installments of the pro-rata amount
contained in Ex. C during the three years of the plan. The allowed
unsecured claims total $1,700,411.78. This Class is impaired.
The Debtor estimates revenues would be generated based on the
continuation of its restaurant operations.
Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, all property and assets of the
Debtor shall revest in the Debtor, free and clear of all Claims,
Liens, encumbrances, charges, and other interests. Such vesting
does not constitute a voidable transfer under the Code or
applicable nonbankruptcy law.

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par. Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable. Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate. The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication. Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices for actual
trades are probably different. Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers
public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets. At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.
On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts. The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.
Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals. All titles are
