If it is discovered that the liquidity has been or will be materially insufficient, the remedial measures that have been or will be taken shall be indicated (Form 20).
  4. Operating results: Analyze the constituent items of the income or loss from continuing operations for the last two years, and the significant transactions, non-transactions, or changes in the economic environment that affect the increase/decrease of such items.
