193069 Canada Inc., a Montreal, Quebec-based company in the business of designing, importing and supplying unique fabrics printed on various materials to North American clothing manufacturers, filed an NOI on March 23, listing approximately $7.9 million in liabilities, including $3.6 million to Fabtrends International Holdings Inc. and $1.0 million to Fabtrends USA Corp. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, several large retailers of women's dresses had closed or downsized considerably, including Dress Barn and Sears. These retailers represented a significant portion of the company's business and it was unable to recover these lost sales. Moreover, the pandemic led to a sharp decrease in the demand for women's dresses and formalwear. For the year ended June 30, 2020, sales were 27% lower as compared to the prior year. Although the company implemented various cost reduction initiatives, the costs savings were insufficient to offset the impact of the lower sales volume. On March 26, the Court also authorized a sale and solicitation process for the company's business and related assets. PwC is the proposal trustee. Kugler Kandestin is counsel for the company.
