Business Times reported that Asiatravel.com Holdings’ controlling shareholder had missed a scheduled funding payment in the amount of S$7.35 million (US$5.42 million) due on June 30, and creditors, supplier and stakeholders proceeded to query the B2B travel company on its financial position.

The company’s independent auditor, Ernst & Young, also included a disclaimer expressing uncertainty as to the group’s ability to continue as going concern according to rules by Catalist, the secondary board of the SGX established to attract young and fast-growing firms, according to Business Times.

Business Times reported that the group incurred a net loss of S$34.6 million for the financial period ended Dec 31, 2017.

Asiatravel.com Holdings’ 2017 financial report was not available on its website at press time.
