Singaporean-backed firm Bellagraph Nova says it is pushing ahead with its bid for Newcastle United Football Club.
One of the firm's co-founders Evangeline Shen told the BBC her team is in regular contact with the Premier League club.
Bellagraph Nova has been the subject of a number of revelations since its bid was revealed in August.
The company has been criticised for inconsistencies about its assets and has retracted press statements.
Bellagraph Nova particularly came under fire for a photo-shopped picture of its three founders meeting former US President Barack Obama.
Revelations about the group have been covered extensively by Singapore's Straits Times newspaper.
