UPDATE 2-Adaltis seeks creditor protection
* Says day-to-day operations not affected
* Has arranged new funding of up to C$3 million
* Shares under review (Adds company comments, background)
TORONTO, July 3 (Reuters) - Adaltis Inc (ADS.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Friday it plans to file for creditor protection as the cash-strapped medical devices company struggles for survival.
Montreal-based Adaltis, which warned earlier this week that it was quickly running out of money, said it would make the application in a Quebec court on Friday.
"Obviously we have liquidity issues. We are unable to continue on in our current format," David Gardner, executive vice-president and chief financial officer, told Reuters.
The company, which specializes in in-vitro diagnostic products, said normal day-to-day operations would not be affected by the move and operations outside Canada were not included in the filing.
