The petitioner's 2007 net income (-$2,874) and net current assets (-$48,626) were both negative and insufficient. Unaudited financial statements are not credible evidence under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(g)(2); bank statements are not enumerated evidence; officer compensation reallocation was speculative and unsupported; future projections are impermissible under Matter of Great Wall.
