Going-concern doubt in the newest report (Going concern)
One when the newest annual or quarterly report states substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, zero when it was read whole and does not.
The filer and its auditor must say so when conditions raise that doubt, and on a small company it is the sentence that most often comes before a raise or a restructuring.
How it is computed here
Measured against the most recent quarterly balance sheet. Read from the newest original annual or quarterly report, whichever was filed last. Filed under health. Lower is the stronger reading, other things equal.
No published threshold exists for this figure, so this page prints none. Read it against the company's own history and its peers instead.
When it misleads
- A zero describes one document, read whole. It is not a judgement on the company.
- Amendments are not read: a 10-K/A often carries no financial statements at all.
