AVG (OEAM), a Scarborough, Ontario-based automotive accessories operation, was placed into receivership on February 21 on application by RBC, owed approximately $9.8 million. The company, which was founded in 1985 as a distribution, engineering, and development partner for North American automotive OEMs, principally produced accessory parts for Nissan and Toyota. In August 2019, RBC and the company entered into a forbearance agreement after the company defaulted on its credit agreement with RBC. In September 2019, the company sought an extension of the forbearance period set out in the agreement after possible alternate financing fell through and the company could not meet the terms of the agreement. In order to consider the requested extension, RBC engaged BDO to prepare a report on the company's affairs. The BDO report disclosed that 85% of the company's listed accounts receivable were fabricated and certain accounts receivable were uncollectible. BDO was also appointed receiver. Counsel is Aird & Berlis for the applicant and Harrison Pensa for the receiver.
