#Report

The officer filed report no. Third Report. ADTS has run out of cash and ceased operations after its factoring company stopped funding and its bank account was frozen by CRA; the Monitor recommends termination of the CCAA proceedings.

Source: Monitor's Third Report

#Report

The officer filed report no. Second Report. ADTS continues daily trucking operations while pursuing restructuring, having lost one significant customer, maintained its factoring facility and critical suppliers, and returned most leased trailers, but faces a material adverse change from a large upward revision in CRA source deduction arrears that effectively gives CRA veto power over any plan of arrangement.
