Former Bridgecorp director Rod Petricevic was aware that the failed finance company's payments to investors were "delayed", according to his co-accused Rob Roest.
Roest and Petricevic - along with fellow director Peter Steigrad - are accused of misleading investors in Bridgecorp's offer documents and are on trial in the High Court at Auckland.
As well as charges under the Securities Act, Petricevic and Roest face eight counts of knowingly making false statements in offer documents that Bridgecorp had never missed interest payments or repayments of principal to investors.
According to evidence tabled earlier in the case, Bridgecorp began missing payments from the February 7, 2007.
Bridgecorp collapsed in July 2007, owing 14,500 investors $459 million.
