  • Pipemaker Yonggao says Evergrande late to pay commercial bills
  • Latest supplier to raise issues over late payment
  • Follows regulatory rebuke, market jitters

SHANGHAI, Aug 25 (Reuters) – Debt-laden developer China Evergrande Group (3333.HK) has failed to pay some overdue bills, piping supplier Yonggao Co Ltd (002641.SZ) said, in the latest sign of a cash crunch at the teetering builder.

Financial markets are worried that the size of Evergrande’s debts present a systemic risk were it to fail and the firm’s executives last week were issued a rare warning from regulators to get their house in order. read more

Yonggao now joins a handful of suppliers to threaten or launch legal action over missed or late payments. read more

In an exchange filing the Shenzhen-listed pipe-producer said it is owed 478 million yuan ($74 million) in commercial bills, of which 195 million yuan is overdue, that it could sue the developer and that since May it had stopped deliveries.

Evergrande had no immediate response. It had pledged on Friday to do everything it can to resolve its debt issues, but markets appear to remain unconvinced and nervous.

Evergrande shares rose 1.5% in morning trade but sit just a fraction above a five-year low touched on Monday.

The developer
has more than 240 billion yuan ($37 billion) of bills and trade payables from contractors to settle over the next 12 months, according to ratings agency S&P Global.

Construction work has been halted on two of its projects in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming, one of them for overdue payments worth more than 210 million yuan, state media China National Radio said earlier this month.
