The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The parent company's financial position had become strained, no alternative financing was expected to be available, and there was no clear prospect of repayment of the loans. The Company explained that it needed to recover its receivables, restore the soundness of its own financial position, and ensure independence from the parent company in order to maintain its listing.
