Burry's Shipyard Inc. commenced Division I proposal proceedings in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador on July 24, 2018, with Deloitte Restructuring Inc. as Proposal Trustee, and relief is sought under section 50.4(9) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Draft, unaudited figures at January 31, 2018 show total assets of $5,918,354 against total liabilities of $6,080,901, equity of $(162,547), reversing equity of $691,309 a year earlier on assets of $4,221,454 and liabilities of $3,530,145. Covenant violations put the company into a forbearance agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia and the Business Development Bank of Canada, the latter proposed as senior secured super-priority DIP lender for a $300 thousand term loan. Milton Fiberglass Products Limited was owed $202 thousand on a vendor take-back note as at April 30, 2018; the Milton Assets were transferred back to Milton on June 22, 2018 for $1 plus offset of the amount owing. The proceedings remain active.
The officer filed report no. Fourth Report. The Company continued negotiating a sale of its shipyard assets (countering a Heddle Marine offer) and pursuing alternative financing through Spergel and Vinecrest, but as it will not seek further extensions of the NOI proceedings, it will be deemed to have made an assignment into bankruptcy effective October 27, 2018.
The officer filed report no. Third Report. The company continued shipyard operations while pursuing a sales process and searching for alternative financing, and was working with the Proposal Trustee to evaluate restructuring alternatives and monitor cash flow.

The officer filed report no. Second Report. Burry's shipyard operations have been substantially shut down, with only minimal collections expected and one retained employee providing security and maintenance, while the Company pursues a Sales Process to support a viable proposal.
