This is not a site where you can expect answers at the last minute. Everyone here is volunteers who come here when they can. No one person can get to everything (nor should they have to), and some people only pop in occasionally. You have to watch out for your own deadlines.

There really isn't sufficient information there anyway. It may be something that can be solved using the working capital info, but no way to tell without seeing everything. Assets are not outright given, meaning there has to be some back door into it.
