Apologies, I misread your post and confused it with Soar running into trouble with the regulators and the Box Hill issues and having to sell some of their aircraft to raise $500k to pay the bills.

They had one of the Aquila’s very early on and then added extras later. I don’t know much about the Aquila, other than that many say it’s too heavy for the 100hp Rotax and I recall Cirrus were selling them through their dealer network for a period.
